Cost of the German-rranco war.

The war of 1870 cost France G371,-
600, 600, TO which G173, 100000 may be
added as the value of the ceded terri
tory. OF course the cost to the North
German Confederation was much less,
as their troops operated in the enemy's
country and the commissariat was much
better managed than with the French.
The cost to Germany has been officially
stated as g47,000.000, but when peace
was concluded the treasury was empty,
and had 1t not been for the French in
demnity o new loan would have been
necessary. The G6,OOO. 600 of the Ger

The war loan must, therefore, have been
exhausted. Compared with other mod

war, on the whole, was moderate, mas
much as private compensation is in

and twenty four rnillionB on the French

Chinese Students.

Two Chinese. students. were admitted
Tnesdayto the Yale college fscientific
department. They passed the examin-
alton most credibly, and gave promise
of superior scholarship. There are now
sixty Chinese students supported by
their government in Connecticut and
Massachusetts,. Thirty came two years
ago, thirty arrived C year since, and
thirty moro are expected in about n
fortnight. So far their department has
been excellent and their progress quite
remarkable. The students are placed
at first in families, two in placs, where
their first aim is tho mastery of our Ian
guage. They are all under strict super
vision, and spend each from two to
four weeks year at the "headquar-
ters" of the Chinese educational com.
mission in Hartfor where they are
carefully examined as to their habits
and progress. Scattered in some twen-
ty or thirty different towns, these boys
have everywhere been favorites. The
kindness with which they have been
treated has been gratifying to the com.
mission here and TO the Chinese govern
ment at home. Boston Traveller.

How Destruction of the Forest Growth
Affects a Country. q! ino,ni,

The aKhanate of Bokharal affords o
signal illustration of the damage done
by denuding q country of its trees.
Thirtysyears ago the Khanate was one
OF the most fertile provinces of Central
Asia, and, well-wooded and watered,
was regarded as an earthly paradise.
Five years thereafter mania for forest
clearing broke out among the inhabi-
tants, and continued to rage as long as
there remained timber to vent itself.
What trees were spared by rulers and
people were utterly consumed during q
civil war. The consequence of this
ruthless destruction of the forest growth
ia now painfully manifest in the i'm
mense dry and arid wastes. The water
courses have become empty channels
and the system of canals constructed
for artificial irrigation and supplied
from the living streams has bt en- rem
dered useless. The sands of the des-
ert, no longer restrained by forest bar
riers, are gradually advancing and
drifting over the land. They will con-
Time their noiseless invasion until the
whole Khanate will become dreary
desert, as barren as the wilderness sep
arating it from Khiva. It is not sup
posed that the Khan has sufficient en-
ergy or the means at his command to
arrest the desolation that now threatens
to spreasl over his territories. The exam
pie is one to- stimulate enlightened gov
ernments to avoid similar catastrophe
by preserving due proportion of for
est land iii their domains, and by res
toring those which have been improvi-
IDENTIFY laid bare. ft. sdi

Cable Telegraphy.

We can almost realize the dawn of the
era of cheap telegraphing. It is an
nounced that an English company in
tend to lay new submarine cable be-
tween England and the United States
and transmit dispatches at the rate of a
shilling word. The present tariff per
word on messages over the cables of the
Anglo-American company is S1.03 in
gold. There are now fifteen submarine
cable companies, and in these enter
prises 800, 000, 000are invested. Among
the projected lines of cable for which
companies are forming is one from Sell
ly, Eng, to st. John, N. F., 1000 miles /;
one from Scilly to Halifax, n. S.; one
from Sicily to Bermuda, thence direct
to New York and from Bermuda to st.
Thomas, and thence to Para, South
America one from Valparaiso, Buenos
Ayres, to Lima, Guayaquil, Bonaven-
tura, and the Isthmus of Panama one
from San Diego, Cal, to Japan one
from Mexico to the Fiji Islands. New
Caledonia, and Australia one from
Australia to New Zealand, for which the
New Zealand Government has Just
granted charter one from Yokohama,
Japan, to Shanghai and one from
Alden, on the Red Sea, to Mauritius,
and thence to Cape Town, South Afri-
ca. Two of the projected Atlantic ca
bles above referred to are those of the
French Atlantic Company, capital, $780,
600; and the Western Telegraph Com
pany, capital, FL, $4,000. These facts
show the wonderful growth of a species
of enterprise concerning which few peo-
pie, comparatively, have any knowledge.
The business of the Anglo-American
Company's lines now amounts to over
S12, 600 day. While between $4,000
and 60, 900 miles of cable have been laid
by foreign capital, not an investment of
the kind has been made by the business
men of the United States.-Boston

The Aunt.

An aunt is not to be found on every
bush. The ignorant may perhaps sup
pose that the quality of auntness inheres
in every sister of a parent. In form,
possibly; but in substance, not neces-
sarily by any means. An aunt is a be-
ing who can only exist for children.
Grown persons cannot (unless they are
childike) have real aunts. For those
who can, the aunt is delightful person
age who has all the merits of mother,
but in more exalted degree, and none
of those defects of harshness, discipline.
infection, peremptoriness, and the like.
that SO often and sadly mar the natural
sweetness of the filio-parental relation.
The aunt, you see,' can per 1T, but can
not forbid. She is beatified mother.
And any person claiming to be an aunt,
and falling short of these attainments.
is an impostor.-Old and NesU.

A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTAND

lady lived in Dumbarton,
Whose heart was full of kindness,
And when my tale is told, you'll see
Her eyes were full of blindness.
Her servant came to her one morn,
And asked to " have the DAY. marm,"
To visit to her home,
Which was " five miles away, marm."
The lady took q moments thought,
Then cheerfully consented.
Because she always loved to have
Her servant live contented.
And so the servant homeward went,
The mistrers to the kitchen,
And planned little joke which she
Thought perfectly bewitchin'."
She hustled around with footsteps light
To get her husbands dinner,
And never dreamed how soon she'd find
That husband was a sinner.
She heard his step upon the walk,
And hid behind the table,
From whence she sprang upon her spouse
AS still as she was able.
She thought that he surprised would be
TIE get such fond caresses
Prom one enrobed in apron strings
And pastry-covered dresses.
Alas imagine her dismay-
Imagine her great distress
To have him kiss her lips and ask
Sweet Mary, where's your mistress 2"

Tempers of the Siamese Twins.

Whether the same blood circulated
through the veins of both or not, GER
tain it is they were different in tempera-
ment and disposition. Eng was mild,
amiable, gentle in his disposition and
pleasing in his manners. Chang was
the very reverse, having very irritable
disposition and violent temper, always
ready to take offense, and quick to
quarrel at the slightest umbrage. Eng
will be recollected as the larger of the
twins, Chang the smaller. Numerous
instances are related (some of which are,
of course, exaggerated) of the unhappy
domestic consequences of Changes vio-
lent temper. Sometimes at table during
their meals he would fly into passion,
spring up, and, Selling the table cloth,
would jerk all the plates, dishes and
eatables off the table and scatter the
fragments all over the room. A favorite
way of displaying his temper was to
drag feather bed across the room and
pile it on the floor. Repeatedly he
fought desperately with Eng-a hand to
hand combat, the latter always acting
on the defensive. Once Chang sue
ceeded in emitting him very severely in
the face, it is said, with knife, before
he was disarmed. Eng being asked
what was the matter with his wounded
face replied, Il" it was done one day" all
that could be got out of him In regard
to the brotherly affray.
