NJ. THEODORE MICHAELIs, a Paris
ian theatre manager, offers prizes
amounting 20 ten thousand francs for
the best three dramas inspired by the
coming American Centennial. The
donor explains that his motive is ''to
afford France another opportunity for
testifying its sentiments Of esteem for
America" Among the conditions pre-
scribed. the dramas must be directly
connected with some episode Of the
American revolution, and the charac-
ters of Washington and Lafayette must
be introduced, but only incidentally,
s'as 1t would be difficult, if not impos-
sibIe, to find actors capable of repre-
senting in beftting manner, histori-
cal pers images so well known and Of
such value"

PARTISAN IDEAS OF MARRIAeE.

| RARASlAN IDEAS OF MAR khAGE.
Arsene HOussayes Paris Letter IN the New
York Tribune.
There are always a great many mar
riages here, and a great many separa-
ti0ns. Madeleine BrOhan, said Of one
of her friends, L shall not believe she
is married until hear Of her separa-
ton" 1t was another actress who
wrote this famous note: Monsieur,
you ask my hand. What fOrs [ am
not 80 silly as to marry a man who has
the folly to wish to marry me. Let Us
not join hands, but shake hands" In
France they say that separation is a
sufficient remedy for marriage. Some
desire divorce so as to marry again;
but most people say that one marriage
is plenty.
We have a prince in Paris who re-
paired his fortune by marrying with a
bank, and who was recently on the
point of sending his wife back to his
father-in-law. But he cOntented him>
self by sending him, as a first warning,
telegraphic dispatch containing this
sentiment from Socrates: Marriage Is
honey and alOes. How comes it that
the woman wastes the honey till moth
ing remains on her lips and those of
her husband but the bitterness Of
the alOes?" Although tue father
in-law, one Of our richest fnanciers,
was well convinced that he
had not given a Xanthippe TO the
prince, and although he was not very
strong In Greek, he understood this
translation Of Socrates. He answered
his heraldic sOn-in-law by a dispatch
that he had made for him 5000
francs In the recent panic at the
BOurse. This greatly sweetaned the
bitterness Of the alOes. The fnancler
consoles himself for the scandal by the
magic. phrase, "Our daughter, the
princess"
Miles also wanted his daughter to be
princess. He gave several millions for
that purpose to Prince Polignac.
Where did he get them? Almost ev-
erywhere; of me, for instance, exactly
as if he had picked my pocket. When
/ said to Princess F'olignac, do you
pay your fathers debts?" she burst
into loud laugh. These princes who
marry bankers dOwries are not worth
much; but these princesses are worth
still less. Bad blood will tell.

Two Officers Stabbed by a Drunken
Mailman.
ST. LOUIS, June 25.-About one o'clock
Monday night policeman Jacob Suter, of
Belleville, Ills, was called to arrest
Patrick Mulligan, who was drunk and
abusing bis family. As soon as Suter laid
his hands on Mulligan the latter seized a
carpenters chisel and stabbed him twice.
At this juncture the City Marshal, Chas
Born, arrived and he also was fercely as
saulted and stabbed severely in tie chest.
Born then shot Mulligan, killing him al
most instantly. Born and Sutef are badly
wounded, and would doubtless have been
killed had not the former shot Mulligan.

OUTFLOWING GOLD.
The Export Trade OF the Country I'm a
Very had Way,
Ner~ y-,-l- Hl-fI,,--,,


The Treasury has in excess Of its ae.
crued gold liabilities only about So
100000 of coin, and of this sum how
much is in gold and how much in sill
yer only those who are IN the secrets of
the Treasury Department are permit
ted to know. Now with the products of
the country so securely held by specu-
latlon through the aid of a superabund-
ance Of broken promises called money.
80 that 1t cannot be shipped
abroad except IN small quanti-
ties, and even that sparingly; and
with the current Of cur securities
generally turned towards US instead of
the other way, as has been the case for
years past, so that we can no longer
pay our interest account from the pro-
ceeds Of the sale Of new bonds, the sit
uatlon seems to point to a continuous
stream Of gold from our shores, only
to be interrupted when the article,
through heavy speculative operations,
becomes so scarce as to command a
high rate of interest, thus for a time
demoralizing the exchanges and caus-
ing a cessation, or rather a postpone
ment Of remlttances, to be again re-
newed, with increased vigor, when th e
speculative movement shall have ceased.
In this view of existing circumstances
it seems idle 10 belittle or ignore the
gold question. And it appears plain
that unless some means be found to
force our products upon the market, so
that they shall perform tue duty of
liquidation, that the exports Of gold
must steadily increase; and if so, there
must come a real, and not artificial
scarcity of gold. Already we have
heard Of banks exchanging their un-
loanable currency into gold coin instead
Of Government bonds, since they can
use the gold in purchasing good |
mercantile gold" paper at re-
rates of interest. |
OF course, if the scarcity Of |
cash gold continues We may expect to |
again see the foreign exchange market
totally demOralized and commercial |
bills unstable, so that the export |
trade will for a time nearly cfase. |
Thus are we every few weeks or months
treated to a demonstration Of the value /
and blessedness Of "the best currency |
the world ever saw"

DIR. BoWDITcH, Chairman of the
Massachusetts Board Of Health, pro-
poses that drunkenness be punished by
political disabilities. For a plain drunk
he would disfranchise a man for six
months, while a regular spree would
entail the loss OF political privileges for
a year, and the confirmed drunkard
would be put on probation for five
years. The experiment Is worth try
ing-in Massachusetts. It could not
prove a bigger failure than their pro-
hibition laws.

June II:
Hon. L. Z. Smith: | have discovered
gold in small quantities on the north end
Of Castle creek, terraces or bars of quarts
ayel. Arrived here yesterday. About
fifteen miners have located at a camp on
the creek above here, and have commenced
working. Gold is found from Castle creek
sOuthWardly to French creek at this point,
and the deposits are almost in or
wholly in DakOtah. The region has
not been fully explored, but the
yield Of gold thus far has been
quite small, and she reports Of the richness
Of the gravel are greatly exaggerated. On
French creek the deposits Of gravel are very
unfavOTably situated. The water supply is
small and falling, and the grade too little
to admit of tailines being carried by a
stream. The prospect at present is not such
as to warrant extended explorations in min
