THE making of books has come to be
serious evil, and from present appearances
there will not be in few years buildings
enough in the world to contain the volumes
published. The Rev. John Weiss has just
thrown out hint which promises to be OF
practical value in stopping the flood OF
printed matter. He tells of Frenchman
who, well advanced in years, had violent
attack of cholera in 1865. Before that time
he had been rather stupid, but manifested on
his recovery literary ability and published
volume of poems. 1t is poor rule that won't
work both ways. If now we could only have
good smart run of cholera in this country
some of the scribblers might be cured of their
mania, and cease to write. 1t would be like
ly to quiet some Of them.

=. Mr.. ABERT's list of names Of those to
whom he paid money in the interest of the
Pacific Mail subsidy ought to render the hon
est Washington newspaper correspondent in
dignant. Four newspapers-the Philadel-
paia Press, the Boston Transcript, the
Washington Capitol and the Washington
Chronicle are compromised through their
Washington representatives. There is no
pretence, however, that the propretors Of the
Transcript were in any way connected or
knowing TO its correspondents operations,
for the latter, Mr.. W. B. Shaw states that the
$4,000 he received was for furnishing infor-
nation as to the prospect of the subsidy in the
house to Irwin and Stockwell. Mcfarland,
the correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
however, says that the $4,000 he received
was paid to Col. Forney who took and kept
it all. The Washington Chronicle money
was paid when the paper was edited by J. M.
Norris, and of course in no way compromises
the present proprietors. Don Piatt says he
only borrowed his 5000 and that it was
paid back, but unfortunately Piatt's reputa-
ton is not such as to commend this story.
The other parties implicated are ex-Postmas-

The French Situation.

The situation OF affairs in france IS men-
acing. For the first time since the executive
power has been entrusted to marshal McMa-
hon there is decisive majority against him
in the assembly. The constitutional project
submitted by his ministry appears TO be ac-
ceptable to none of the parties which are
striving for the mastery. The President with
a momentary inclination towards parfhnenta-
ry government, accepted the resignation Of
his ministers and endeavored to form a new
cabinet. The endeavor was unsuccessful,
and it is probable that the defeated ministers
will resume their portfolios.
The constitutional project submitted en-
braced three propositions: the passage of a
bill creating second chamber; provision
that the Septennate shall be maintained un-
til 1880 in the event of McMahon's death be-
fore its expiration; provision that the two
chambers shall provide the form of govern
ment which shall succeed the Septennate.
The propositions were not directly brought
before the Assembly, the ministry being de-
feated on parliamentary point. The As
sembly refused to pass vote of urgency on
the constitutional project, and decided that
the army bill should be considered first.
Legitimists, Republicans and Imperialists
combined to form the opposition. The Le-
gitimists oppose the project from principle;
the Republicans distrust the monarchical
tendencies of the Assembly, and desire the
defnitive establishment of the Republic be-
fore the organization of the Septennate; the
Imperialists have everything to gain and
nothing to lose by delay. The combination
had in itself no political significance, and the
factions are as wide apart to-day as they
were two weeks ago.
2 A dissolution of the Assembly and an ap-
peal 10 the people wodld seem to be the nat
ural course to pursue; but none Of the parties
desire this. An appeal to the people in
France is dangerous thing; for it may re-
suit in revolution or civil war, and French
property holders desire quiet for the restora.
tion of business and commercial prosperity.
OF all the factions which divide France,
the Imperialsts alone gain by delay. The
others grow weaker every day. The disaster
Of Sedan is already half-forgotteu, but the
memory of the military glories of the first
Empire can never fade from out the minds of
Frenchmen. This feeling of admiration for
the founder of the Bonaparte dynasty isnot
confined to the army, but seems to be shared
by the small landed proprietors throughout
the couDtry. The trading classes also, hav
ing in mind the substantial benefits resulting
to them from the establishment Of a brilliant
court, sigh for return of the imperial regime
The men interested in business desire
nothing so much as stable government,
whatever its form and the empire promises
stability. 1t is very probable that the young
man at Chiselhurst who inherits the tradi
tions of the Empire and the name Of its
founder may yet be recalled to France, and
that ere long the gilt eagles will resume their
perches on the standards of the army and
the golden bees besprinkle the trappings Of

The Spanish word bonanza, which has
lately come into use in connection with the
wonderful discoveries ia the Comstock lode
is puzzle to most Eastern readers. The
California papers give iE substance this ex-
PLANTATION: For three centuries the Span
iards monopolzed all the great silver mines
of the worl1, and they learned all the uncer-
tainties of digging for argentiferous deposits.
When they were working in large body OF
rich ore they said the mine was in bonanza,
akin in etymology to our "boon," and in
meaning to blessing: and when, on the other
hand, the miner was searching at great ex-
pense and in disappointment in the barren
vein stone that would pay, he said the mine
was in borrdscd, or storm. a

H SINCE the beginning of the Cuban rebel
lion, eight years ago, $4,000 Spanish troops
have been sent to the island. The new Cap

we choose to call them, do not appear to be
terrified into submission, and there is moth
ing to indicate that the close Of the century
even will witness the re-establishment of
Spanish rule in Cuba.
