The Commercial Prosperity Of France.

what Macaulay said about no form OF
government hindering The march OF pros

creased under ElzaDetn, James 1,
Charles Cromwell, &C.; nor have u
provisional governments and republic
prevenled the development of tne re-
sources Of this country. The total COM

Lyons, 9,00O francs; the Eastern, IA, 900

sign of Iuxury-sh0w an increase OF
7,00J,00 francs over those of 1859. In
spite OF restless politicians, hoOds and
JLher partial disasters, there can be no
doubt that France has nothing to COM
plain OF, and that she has more than re-
covered that material welfare which is
supposed to have unnerved her under
the immoral and luxurious empire.

To Keen Auay Cutuorms.

Mr.. Charles Currier, OF Monroe coun-
ty, iowa, writing to the New York Trib-
une, says: "Spirits turpentine poured
upon seed corn before planting, and
thoroughly mixed by stirring, SO that all
the seea shall be impregnated with it, Is
specific for the terrible rayages OF the
cutworm. Ihave never known it to fail
in one instance. My own practice has
been to put one quart OF turpentine to q
bushel OF corn, or in that proportion,
which is sufficient, and have always
thought that corn came up two or three
days quicker when thus treated. Be-
sides, The scent Of turpentine, which can
be detected several weeks after plant
ing, aids much in keeping crows at dis.
tance."

He should have been left.sitting there,
