SPECIE PAYMENTS IN FRANCE The French
people Ike ourselves have recently suffered
from great war, and experienced the financial
disturbances usually following such war But
France seems to have found way to specie
basis without much trouble. The following
paragraph is from private letter of Mr.. Will
lam Faxon of Hartford, who has been for some
months in Paris
The newspapers as we'll as the congressman
seem to be full of plans for the resumption of
specie payments, scarcely any two agreeing as
the thing has been accomplished without apy
buster, and while gold is pleLty enough. silver
is 50 abundant as almost to be nuisance. Last
summer all the silver in circulation was in
pieces of less than five francs in value, and five
ten and twenty franc notes were more common
than those oflany other denomination Some
time in the fall the Bank of France ceased to
pay out five and ten franc notes, and almost as
by magic they disappeared, their place being
supplied BY the silver franc piece which be.
came as abundant as the notes had been. If
one offered a twenty franc note IN payment for
q purchase of less than five francs in value, he
was sure to get three silver five franc pieces in
change, and as it is a cumbersome coin it was
the first money paid out in subsequent pur-
chases, 80 that large amount could not have
been required for the purposes of trade. That
coin couldlfairly be quoted in the market as
active" Shortly after the five and ten franc
notes disappeared those of twenty francs began
to be scarce and one ST that denomination is
now rarely SEEM Thelstore- keepers give gold
in change and the bankers pay it out upon
checks-there is no premium upon it, and the
resumption OF specie payments is an accom-
plished fact.

ONE REASON WHY MR.. GLADSTONE WAS
DEFEArED.-The London correspondent of
Harper's Bazaar, writing during the late cleo
tion canvass in England, gives us an idea of
the pressure brought to bear against the Wings
by the Conservatives. He says:
The whole election is taking strange course
and bids fair to recommend itself as theme to
writer's of fiction under the title of the Publ
cans Revenge. The fact is, his well meant at
tempt to stem the tide of drunkenness among
the lower orders. even SO small matter as
closing the public houses at II p. M, has rails
ed the wrath of the licensed vctuallers against
Mr.. Gladstone, When | tell you that six
hundred millions of dollars were spent last
year in drink, you may conclude that their
wealth alt is great "a and their
portionate. They have declared en- nadsse
against the government and the Tories are
with the liberty of of the subiect"-in denying
him gin at Midnight in order to secure for
themselves these infamous allies. envy them
their votes but not the means by which they
will obtain them.

ing every point in some witty way and re-
naming master of the situation after every
encounter. Re is a good deal of a man and
reminds one forcibly of the descriptions of
Abraham Lincoln in his early days. He was
the youngest member but one and will be
heard from hereafter.
There are many more belonging to the
class known as Pleading members" but we
have been able to mention only few of the
more conspicuous. 1t was a good average
House, Lot much given to speech-making but
with lots of good working capacity.

The DEATH oE REV. DIR. BALKAM.-The
particulars o. the death of Rev. Ur:ah Balkan,
D. D., at Lewiston on Wednesday, are that he
started from his residence on Bates street, ON
horseback, to ride to Bates College, to attend
a recitation, being professor in the institu-
ton. The horse reared and the doctor was
thrown to the ground, striking on the right
side of his face, killing him instantly. At first
it was supposed the neck of the deceased was
broken. DR.. Garcelon, however, gave his
opinion that death resulted from conclusion of
the brain. DR.. B. was very heavy man, and
the conclusion resulting from his fall on the
ice, must have been very severe. The death
causes great sorrow in Lewiston, where the de-
ceased was well known and beloved.
Rev. DR.. U. Balkan was born in Robin
ston, adjacent to Calais, Washington county,
Maine, March q, 1872 DR.. Balkan graduated
in 1887, from Amherst College, where he took
a high position as man of culture and prom
Use. At Bangor Theological Seminary he pur-
sued course of theological study which he
completed in 1S40
He was soon settled in his first passionate, at
Union, Maine. Subsequently he took charge,
as pastor. of the Congregational church in
Wiscasset. In 1866 he accepted call to the
pastorate of Pine Street Congregational church
in Lewiston, pastorate which he filled with
distinguished ability until October 1870, when
he resigned that Office In 1867 Mr.. Balkan
received the honorary degree of D. .. from
Bates College.
At the Commencement session of the Trus.
tees of Bates College, in 1873, Dr. Balkan was
elected Cobb Professor of Logic and Christian
Evidences"

Gentlemen ofthe House Of Representatives.:
You will please accept my heartfelt thanks

This has been prominently business

Our acts are now part OF the history OF

A search began, for Tommy, though but

many boys are---in mischief. Ellie hunted
