Mr.. BENNET, q financial writer of
France, has written a pamphlet, from
which we take few salient points. We
need instruction, as nation, on the
management of finance, and we may
learn something by studying the fnan-
cial policy of France.
The Franco-German war ended in
May, 1871 and III two years and half
from that time, the French had paid to
Germany an indemnity of $1,000, 00O,-
900 in specie, their own expenses incur
red in the war having reached to about
an equal amount. In making this large
payment, with an inconvertlble paper
currency, the latter was maintained al
most continually at par, never having
deprecated more than q per cent.
These are interesting facts, and in his
pamphlet Mr.. Bennett gives us the rea-
sons. 1t is first to be noticed that, for
nearly the whole period since the war,
France has been the creditor of other
nations, and it was on the occasion of
the exchange turning the other way that
the paper currency was deprecated. 1t
is estimated that the amount of specie
in France is largely in excess of the
legal tender circulation, and the Bank
of France has a specie reserve of 81 per
cent. of its outstanding circulation. In
other words, the paper money of France
is strengthened by specie, which,
though not in circulation, is still in the
country, and can be utilized If occasion
arises. Mr.. Bennett, while contending
that bank bills not fully protected by
specie reserve are a source of great
danger. shows their great convenience
and, in his view, absolute necessity, in
these times, if their issue is under pro-
per restrictions. What constitutes
money, the origin of banks. and mat
tiers Of this nature are treated by Mr..
Bennett in a clear and thorough manner,
and we hope that his pamphlet viii be
widely circulated. Our own finances
have not been managed In so wise a
manner. and the condition of affairs in
the country is not so prosperous at
present, that we can afford 70 disregard
the Example of France" which coun-
try, mourning a war debt nearly two
thirds as large as cur own, in the short
space Of ten months is apparently on
the direct road to sound financial sys-
| TEN, without having experienced seri-
Gus monetary crisis.

THERIVALRIES OF WOMEN.

A woman writes in the Boston Globe ::
''One day, on the trip up, when read
ing a magazine, my attention was attrac-
ted by the glitter Of a gold bracelet,
which, look where [ would, flashed be-
fore my eyes, and further scrutiny re-
vealed the fact that the young lady who
wore it was particularly ANXIOUS that [
should be attracted by it, and, to further
her design, began cutting the leaves of
her magazine with a silver fruit-knife.
For the purpose Of showing her that [
was not particularly dazzled, in fact that
there was another such in the world, [
took a gold pencil from my pocket and
marked passage in my book, for my
bracelet was equal to hers. Observing
that fact, she drew off her glove and
carefully arranged her veil, that might
not fail to see the heavily-chased ring
which encircled her finger. I could go
her one better here; SO taking off my
glove, I drew down the blind, flashing
rare topaz and solitaire diamond be-
fore her appreciative eyes. She saw,
and quickly pulling off her other glove,
displayed a splendid cluster diamond
and gigantic amethyst. I was slightly
nonplussed, but as she wore no earrings,
I felt that after all I was even with her
At the instant she drew an elegant little
watch from her belt, which she studied
attentively two whole minutes, holding
it up in full view, then turned to me as
if to say: We'll, go on I had done
nv best and could not answer the chal-
lenge, but thought mournfully of my
poor little locket in a drawer at home,
with one side all jammed in. When, at
last, the aggravating creature took a
iewel-case from her satchel and held up
lovely coral set, turning it this way
and that to exhibit all its beaties, fur
lively glancing at me to be sure that I
observed, I was utterly yanquished,
completely routed, and SO greatly alb
sorbed in my book, that did not see a
thing -

CARBoLIC ACID IN THE POULTY YARD.
"A writer in the London Field recon-
mends the use of carbolic acid in pigeon
and poultry houses for destroying par
asitic insects. It neither Injuries the
birds nor drives them from their nests.
He dissoIYes two ounces of common car
bolic acid in three quarts of water and
applies once week with a watering pot
to all parts Of the poultry house. 1t de-
stroys all the lice and acari in the build
ing, and acts also as a disinfectant. For
the purpose of ezpelling the lice from
the bodies of the fowls Or pigeons, he
mixes one part Of liquid carboEc acid in
thirty parts Of water, first mixing the
acid with little glycerine, and shaking
well before using. He applies this with
a small brush to the roote Of the feath-
ers on the under side of the body, and
around the vent. the application killing
all parasites without staining the feath-
ers. Two or three applications, at IN
tervals of few days, are sufficient for
permanent cure.

PAINTING OF Floors. Having had
some experience with both oiled and
painted floors, I unhesitatingly recon-
mend the former. IF some uniform dark
tint is wanted, like black walnut, mix
burnt lumber with boiled Iinseed oil, and
rub in thoroughly with wooden cloth.
The lumber can be bought in boxes con-
tanning a pound and upward, already
ground in oil, whichis most convenient, as
that sold in dry state is apt to be course
and rough. The depth of tint is varied
by using more or less of the umber.
or the tone may be warmed, if desired,
by adding burnt sienna. IF an imitation
of the handsome ash and walnut floors is
preferred, rub every alternate board with
pure linseed oil, and use a paint brush
to apply the dark staining, taking care
not to have enough in the brush to
spread on the part intended to be light.
Leave the floor for day or two to dry,
though the only harm done by using it
Immediately is that the oil is liable to
be tracked over the other parts of the
house. The great advantage an oil floor
possesses over a painted one is that
when marked or scratched some oil rub
bed over the spots removes them, and it
is never necessary to repeat the whole
process again. AL that is needed to
keep the floor bright and fresh is to oc-
casionally rub it over with cloth wet
with a little oil OF kerosene, as you
would treat oil furniture

a THRILLING COURT SCENE,

Just before Christmas there wasa truly
dramatic scene In an English Court at
Chester, which will be memorable among
the Incidents of the bench and bar. The
usual solemnities of such tribunals
especially in England,-were laid aside,
and the Judge became the savior of a
prisoner, and the thronged audience in
the courtroom burst out in enthusiasm.
Mary Lancaster was married to a
''brute.' Her husband lived off her
earnings, and she worked her fugers to
the bone to support him. He was in the
habit of beating her severely, too, to
cement their unhappy union. One day
he came home half drunk, and common
ced his domestic amusements by kicking
a joint OF meat which was roasting before
the fire into the cinders. He then seized
his wife by the hair and dragged her
around the room, and beat her between
whiles.
In desperation the woman picked up a
steel and threw it at her husband. The
point entered his skull, inficting injur-
les from which he died. Mary Lancas-
ter was arrested, and it was found that
her body was covered with bruises
some OF them of long standing. It was
evident she had been habitually brutally
abused by the man she had killed. She
was tried at the Chester assizes, and the
jury found her guilty of manslaughter
1t only remained for the Judge to assess
her punishment and condemn her as q
convict. The courtroom was crowded
and every man and woman there was the
prisoners friend.
The Judge commenced by asserting
that there were facts and dispositions
even worse than those named at the trial
Then addressing the woman, he said !:
Cali the real right in this case is on
your side, all the real wrong on your
husbands, and God forbid that should
punish you. [ will be no party to it. /
will not even make this judgment COM
plete [ will not even allow it to be said
by anyone that you are a convicted felon
for conviction is not complete until a
sentence is passed, and mean to pass
no sentence at ALL"
Then there was loud applause in the
courtroom which the court terrier forgot
to quel. It was an out-burst Of SYM
pathy above the rules of court decorum.
The prisoner was then discharged on her
own recognizance, to come up for judg-
ment when called for, but the Judge
said in conclusion Nobody in the
world will ever call upon you. God for
bid they ever should.

THE MISSING BOOK.
It Is Found in Louisville. KY, and Will
Shake Up the Royal Bones IN Eng
land.

The book for which a reward of $1,000
in gold has been offered, by Mr. Col
bourne of London, and stated in cir
cular extensively distributed by him to
relate to a member of the royal family of
England, against the publication Of
which the Lord Chancellor issued an
Injunction, and to which only one copy
is known to be in the United States, was
discovered Sunday to be in possessiono of
young lawyer in Louisville. The
Courier j ournal contains a lengthy ac-
count of the book and possessor, from
which the following extracts embrace
the main facts
The book is Memoirs of George ".
Containing minute history OF all the
scondalous passages in his life, together
with an exposure of the corruption OF
his political administration. The identl-
ty of the book seems positive, for it
bears the imprint Of the publishers nam
ed in the circular as well as the date Of
issue, 1880. The memoir is In two
volumes, and hasty glance at the con-
tents seems to clearly show that 1t is the
copy so large a reward is offered for.
Two or three years ago an English
gentleman, named Taylor, book sales
man Of this city, discovered the vol
umes in a case of books that the firm
had imported from G. d. Caseenove, a
London book dealer now out of bust
ness. The volumes had not been order
ed, and it was presumed that they had
been placed in this case accidentally.
Mr.. Taylor was perfectly familiar with
all branches of English literature and
when his eye Lighted upon the book he
at once appreciated it's value. The date
of the importation was about the begin
ming of 1878. He showed the book to a
number of literary gentlemen of this
city, and among them was the young
lawyer who is now its fortunate posses
sor. The latter gentleman hesitated
some days about making the purchase,
but his love for rare and curious Gtera-
ture triumphed and he bought them.
Since then the volumes have had a place
on the shelves of the library of the
gentleman in question. It is quite GER
tain that the reason the royal family are
so selections for it's destruction lies in
the fact that the marriage of King
George with Mrs. Fitzherbert is proven
by letters and documents taken from the
royal archives It also .testifes that a
child was born to Mrs. Fitzherbert while
in lawful wedlock. The books contain
finely executed protraits of three wo-
men whose names have become familiar
to all students of the shady side of Eng
ish history, in connection with that Of
the amorols George.
The gentleman whose is possession is
the book is E'ontaine l.. Fox, young
lawyer. It is SAID that he has received
a number of dispatches to-day from in
terested parties in relation to it.

an increase Of the snow drift, or aught,
even a miracle, if it might only save
us
On and on, for time that seemed In
terminable, yet might in truth have been
but few moments. Then the storm
ceased, the moon emerged from her
shelter. and we saw half a mile III our
rear a dark line coming swiftly and
steadily down upon us. In the middle
of a white plain, with no nook or
corner visible wherein we could take re-
fuge, and still nearly a league from
home, our case looked hopeless enough.
So our pI,rsuers seemed to think as they
caught sight Of us for the first time, and
lifting their black muzzles from the
ground gave vent to howl OF savage
exultation. [ could have screamed, too,
when heard it, for fright was driving
me half wild; it was SO unutterably hor-
rible 20 perish thus. But glance at
Eric, so calm and steadfast, gave me
new courage. [ felt that, come what
might, we should at least die together.
Faster we flew, like hunted animals,
death behind us coming on apace-a few
yards more and he would claim us for
his own. Already [ could hea- the rapid
breathing of QUE foes, see their fierce
eyes and snow-white teeth, glttering
and cleaning in the moonlight. Prompt
ed by Eric, [ threw out the bearskin
rug which protected me from the cold.
For moment they paused, smelt at 1T,
then on with fresh fury after their old
prey. One by one cushions, wraps, all
went over to the hungry pack, each gain
ing us an instant's precious delay. AS
the last fell from my hand the foremost
wolf bounded forward, just missing my
arm, while his strong, cruel jaws met
with painfully audible snap.
Then Eric turned and looked at me
long, loving glance-and began knot
ting the reins to the iron side OF the
driving-rest. Instinctively divining his
purpose of giving his life to save mine,
I sprang forward and, clinging to him
frantically, whispered.
dearest, remember, we stand or fall
together
A sudden thought, justified by our
dire extremity, flashed through my brain
it was at best forlorn hope. Quick
lyI bent over Eric, snatched the hunting
knife from his belt, and cut loose the
nearest pony. With an almost human
cry of pain the poor animal galloped off
with the ravenous pack after it. A few
strides only and it was surrounded, over
powered, down; and the last sounds we
heard ere the welcome lights of Stor
Aswan came in sight were our baffied
enemies growing and fighting over the
cruel sacrifice; but necessity knows no
law, and by it we were saved.
In after years, as we sat round the
fire at New York S eve, with the storm
beating wildly as now against the case
ment, and the wintry twilight closing
in. our children would ask to hear,
s'once MORE" the oft-told tale of the
''Salten wolves,'' or our fight ''for dear
life"
