he says it of whole race, it is probable he
has made frequent attempts. OF late years
American women have grown shy of marrying
foreigners abroad. They usually require some
knowledge of an aspirants habits position,
and character before they trust their
lives to him, and there are few OF the profes-
sional walters of the Paris salons who can
answer these demands in a satisfactory man
ner, OF course we do not speak OF the great
mass of young French gentlemen, who are as
good as others but the crowd OF adyenturers
who haunted the Tuleries under the Empire,
and had themselves introduced iutO American
society for the purpose. first, of marrying an
heiress. and incidentally of getting IN occa-
sional supper, were usually as destitute of
honor and Conscience as of fortune or capacity.
They assumed that their titles, IL they
had any. were sufficient to balance u
large dowry, and when they found Their
suits rejected, the only explanation their self

recently proposed through a third party for Il

was treated as it deserved his astonlshment
at American rudeness and heartlessnesS was
unbounded. We do not know how our country
women in Paris are to avoid these Disagree

the papers which libel them, and by refusing
to know or to invite to their houses the sort OF

From Washington we have the dire news
that the Senate is far from ready TO take any
action on the finance question. Instead of
preparing TO vote, Senators are preparing
new speeches and brushing up old ones.
These gentlemen forget that business is Ian
gushing, trade is unsettled, and the finances
of the country are unsettled while they are
indulgng in talk. 1t is time that Senators
should do something; the country is tired of
this perpetual drzzle of debate.

MORE LIGHT ON THE NATIONAL EYPEN
DIIURES

The table below is taken ont of the Hon.
Ellis II. Roberts's speech on the National
Finances, without the alteration of n figure.
The only change we have made in 1t is the
incorporation of line of totals 10 separate
the expenditures which can and ought to be
reduced from those of a permanent or fixed
character. Mr. Roberts presents these figures
with the Introductory remark that at will
surprise gentlemen who have not examined
d" the subject TO know that, setting aside the
extraordinary appropriation for the Navy
flour millionS) caused by the Spanish
troubles, the expenditures thus far for the
current year have been less than for the CORE
"spondingperiod last year." Wequote the same
figures to show tho reverse. That is to say,
the idea which those figures convey TO us is
completely opposed to the idea which Mr..
Roberts intends to impress on those who ac-
cept his views The method adopted by Mr..
Garfield Of vindicating the title.of the major
ity in Congress to the praise of frugality is
in form a little different from that adopted
by Mr.. Roberts, but in substance it is the
same But here is the table, which is simply
