NJ. REoSIER, the volunteer diplomat, who,
it is charged, came very near bringing about
treaty Of peace between France and Ger

condition for the restoration Of the Empire,

REronTs WHICH WE ARE SORRY To HEAR
The reports which are coming in from all
sides of the suspension of furnaces, foundries,
factories and public works, with the discharge
from employment Of thousands of working
mon and women. We can only hope that
these misfortunes to our industrial wealth.
producing classes will be but temporary, and
that this financial pressure which weighs so
heavily upon them will soon be removed.
Meantime, however, the general observance
among our people Of all classes Of the good
old rule Of 'live and lot live" will contribute
much to tighten the general burden Of the
community and the suferings of the unen-
plpyed. the helpless poor and the destitute

\ New French Loan.

Il is said q new French loan to the
amount Of Q hundred and thirty-dve mil
lions Of ftancs-about twenty-seven mil
lions Of dollars-has been negotiated by
the government of France with the Messrs.
Rothschild. The terms Of the loan are not
stated; but as France has exhibited such won-
derful resources in paying off the enormous
German indemnity, and such recuperative
power under overwhelming disasters, we sup
pose the loan has been taken on favorable
terms to the nation. Revolutions or changes
of government or even the defeat and
frightful cost of gigantic war, make but
temporary impression upon the French.
The uncertainty of the political future scarcely
affects the credit of the nation. No country
in the world affords such surprising evidences
Of resources and credit. 1t is study for
statesmen and financiers. The secret Of all
this, apart from the intense patriotism of the
French, is found in the industry, economy
and admirable financial system Of the coun-
try. France sells more than she buys and,
whatever misfortunes Of revolution or war may
come upon her, the resources of the nation
accumulate necessarily from the favorable
stats Of ni.ustry and trade. Then, the finances
are manas ed with great skill No one
understani, these things better than the
RothschiE ).

A NUISANCE CHECKED. 1t has been the too
frequent custom Of saloon keepers and others
in this city to place what are called ssorna-
mental lamps" on the sidewalks, sometimes in
front Of their own places of business and
sometimes nearer to the stores or residences of
their neighbors. These ornamental lamps"
are nothing but illuminated advertisements,
and it is not always agreeable to have opposite
ones door blazing notification Of oysters,
liquors or some other articles sold by other
parties. The Commissioner Of Public Works
has drawn the attention Of the Mayor to case
in which the erection Of one Of these advertis-
ing lamps has been authorized by a resolution
of the Common Council opposite private
residence, the owner of which strongly OBJ
jects to this ornamentation of his dwelling
The authority should be revoked OF once. II
it is not the offended citizen should test the
strength Of the colored glass with q stone
about the size of piece of chalk.

Our CHINESE WALL.-Mr. Seward, in the
book of travels published after his death, men
tions curious calculation made by him as to
the time and money and labor necessary to
complete the great wall of China If we re-
member the results Of the calculation it would
have built our Pacific railways many times
over. Yet as science advanced and fighting
men, even of Tartar blood, came to know the
value of gunpowder, the wall lost it's value
1t is now monument, not defence. Yet
with this Chinese lesson to warn us we have
actually surrounded our country with wall
which costs as much as the great wall that was
foolishly supposed to protect China from the
Tartars. Who will make calculation as to
what we pay every year as unnecessary taxes
upon iron and wool and salt and hides and
precious metals upon tea and coffee and me-
cessary life supplies, upon ships and the ma
terials for ships? 1t will be found that we
pay the value Of Chinese wall every ten
years to support the ironmasters of Pennsyl-
vania and the manufacturers of New England.
The New York herald., 1873-10-29

unbiased mind. With the quickness of genius
and true appreciation of the Buchu philos-
ophy he said, 'Let the people pay it"
The government came upon him for his taxes,
and he sent the government into chancery to
quarrel with his lawyers. Some people who
did not comprehend the philosophy of the
Buchu Kings financial experiments went to
Albany and called upon the Legislature to take
cognizance of the fact that an article of prop
erty worth twenty millions was selling for
forty, and that the people were to be called on
to make good the value. But at Albany
gifted and persuasive men, eloquent attorneys
who had been Secretaries of State, and Lieu
tenant Governors were found, in the pay Of
the Railway King, ready to show, by book
and precept, that the thing done was well
done, and the people should pay for it. The
rumor ran in the malignant press that some
obtuse members who could not comprehend
the eloquence of the Buchu rhetoric we're
convinced in substantial way. But we all
know the victory was won. The Midway has
been kept at its new value, and the people
have been taxed to pay for it.
We are panied to be compelled to say that
this sublime achievement has not been alto
gether unchallenged We manage to worry
along with the Midway here in New York,
meaning some time or other to inquire into it,;
but in the West the people are in rebellion.
They do not accept the Buchu principles in
their railways. They complain that prices
have been SO far advanced for freight that it is
cheaper to burn corn for fuel than to send it
to the seaboard. They argue that to pay the
interest on the bonds of these railways and the
dividends on the extra shares-in other words,
to pay the interest of forty millions on property
worth twenty-takes the whole value of their
crop. AS some of their imprudent orators say
they pay twice the value Of cream for skim
milk. And although able writer's and speakers
demonstrate that property is sacred, that Ameri-
can credit must be preserved, that if a Buchu
issues shares to the value of forty millions for
property worth twenty the duty Of the people
is to see that he receives good dividends on
the increased value, that to interfere with o
Buchu in this work or to protest against it is
repudiation, dishonor, bankruptcy, they will
not be convinced And there is no knowing
where we are drifting. We have fallen on
evil times, and it would not surprise us at all
if these wild demagogues Of the West were to
rise in anger and deal with Buchu and his
imitators as the madmen in France in 1893
dealt with the wise, gracious and wealthy
mobiles of that day, who insisted that there
should be forests for wolves rather than bread
for the poor.

WARNINGS OF WNTER.-A despatch from
st Paul, Mimi, ofyesterday's date, says that
snow had been falling there for the last forty
eight hours, and that the weather was very
cold. The same afternoon and all the night
snow fell heavily at Chicago. This may be
one of those tidal waves of cold air from the
Rocky Mountains which carry with them to
the seaboasd sharp snow storms, or touch of
Greenland for several days in the freezing
winds from the northwest.

The FOLLY OF THE HoUR.-The ballooning
mania seems disposed to run its course. We
are q good deal like boys in our popular
fancies First is one game, then another.
Some three or four years ago we were all
riding velocipedes, and people talked seri-
ously of building wooden railway over the
housetops to enable our people to go to Har-
lem in fifteen minutes. This lasted until peo-
pie grew stiff in their joints, and the veloci-
pede was thrown aside. Then we had base
ball mania, and distinguished citizens spent
their autumn afternoons over in Hoboken and
Brooklyn watching alert young men throw
heavy balls across field. After it was dis
covered that now and then ball would cross
the bounds and nestle in hat, or PROFOUND
itself on an observing nose, serious minded
people remained at home. Now we are all
going up in balloons, and London journal
informs US that one Of the prodigious charla-
tans Of the age, who has given long life to
reduce the principles of successful lying into
o science, means really to send up balloon.
This will continue until some aspiring youth
scars too near the sun and finds himself i'm
paled on the point of Trinity church steeple.
just now it is the folly of the hour 1t will
have its hour and fade.

Great and mighty results frequently grow

SO he entered upon the experiment with

o'clock the old buffers came around, and
having listlessly examined the periodicals,
watched the opportunity which Rolf was
quivcring TO give them, and raised the
glasses hurricdly to their lips and as hur-
riedly absorbed the contents. Then
loungcd about as listlessly as before for
about two minutes. At the expiration Of
that time, one of the twain commenced to
look surprised. The other man also looked
as if he had received unexpected intcli-
gence. Then their facos simultaneously
appeared griped, and the first man re-
marked, 30! o" and struck Snr the
