The prospect is good for lively time at
the Pennsylvania Democratic convention,
there being sharp division of sentiment
among the Democracy of that state on the
currency question. The chairman OF the
state committee says the Ohio platform will
engage considerable attention, and Senator
Wallace anticipates protracted discussion
in the convention. The initiation heresy is
evidently gaining favor with the Democrats.

PHRENoLo GIsTs have discovered that the
study of the Chinese language changes the
shape of the forehead. One student says
that since he began the study the region of
his perceptive faculties has taken on
layer of boue quarter OF an inch thick, and
the hats he used to wear will only rest on the
top of his head now. 1t does not appear
that he was very thick-headed before he en-
tered upon the study of the monosyllabic
tongue. While there are so many speedier
ways of getting swelled head it is strange
that anyone should take to Chinese and
spoil a good hat thereby.

ARSENE HOUSSAYE in his last letter to the
Tribune, pelts France and French society
with epigrams. He tells of Chivac, the Duke
OF Orleans physician, who never noticed
that he was i'll, being so anxious about the
health of others; but one day he felt his
own pulse and said, "The Devil! He's a
dead man. 1 have been called in too late."
Society to-day, says M. Houssaye, is feeling
after its pulse and uttering the cry of Chivac.
1t imagines it is ruined, and that it is too late
to send for the doctor. 1t is like woman
IN the vapors who is tired of her own happi-
adventures. The writer continues: All is
nevertheless for the best in the least repub-
can of republics. 1t is only the lucky
people who complain. Only the millionaires
think they are poor and dread the morrow.
Virtue does not consider its own reward
sufficient. Gas you make your bed you must
lie in it," is lame proverb. Society has
gone to bed upon gold, and now wants to
turn over. What would you do with world
where the / is everywhere preempting more
than its share. 1t is the despotism of the
first person. You hear liberty continually
talked about by people who wish it only for
themselves. The is a merciless despot. Yes
terday one of my friends, the best fellow in
the world from his own account, saw gen.
tleman thrown from his dog-cart on the
asphalt of the Champs Elysees. "Oh,
mon Dieu," said my friend to the fainting
man, "what dreadful sightp' 1t is lucky
that always carry flask of brandy, and
he drank off his facon at a draught. "If it
had not been for that" he said with emo
tion, II might have been ILL.," Is not this
the cynicism Of the moment? Society says
that it wants to be saved, and calls all sorts
of doctors to its aid; doctors of politics, of
morals, of theology and of atheism. 1t re-
minds me of that great lady of Normandy,
who being bored to death in her castle, tried
every day some new drive. Her coachmen
and positions were all wild; do what they
could she was never satisfied with their driv-
ing. One day she said to her gardener, "Ma.
thurin, can you drive me this morniDg?"
"Of course can; has Madame la Duchesse
forgotten that it was who had the honor of
spilling her out of her carriage year agow

The Expenditures of 1873.

The argus having really abandoned the
biennial official register of 1878, has taken
refuge behind the figures of the expen-
ditures of the government for the fiscal year
ending June 80 1873, for the reason, doubt
less, that the aggregate disbursements of that
year were larger than during the year pre-
vious and the two years which have passed
since that time. Heretofore the argus has
been accustomed to give the full figures of
the disbursements of that year 1920, O,345,-
PAS. 33), but this year it has deducted from
the sum total the amount required to pay the
interest on the public debt and the pensions
of disabled soldiers and their heirs, evidently
having come to the conclusion that the one
hundred and thirty odd millions required for
this purpose, may be charged off to the Dem
ocratic party because its leaders, with few
exceptions, either were actually engaged in
the rebellion which has made the payment of
necessary or melted and encouraged it.
We are not partial to figures. The pu-
meration table was never our special delight.
OF all kinds of fictions those told in figures
are the most stupid. Still there is but one
method of correcting misstatements made by
figures, and that is by giving the correct ones.
We propose therefore, to lay before our read
ers careful analysis of the expenditures of
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1873, pre-
pared by Hon. James A. Garfield of Ohio,
the chairman of the Committee on Appropri-
ations in the last Congress. He has grouped
these payments into three classes: First,
those which were made directly on account
of the war; secondly, the expenses of the
army and navy; and third, all other expen-
dtures, including the civil establishment and
public works..

to say of the women of that re-

theirs do. They carry on their

than / should care to lend nv
shoulders to. Massive are their
legs as the Banyan root; their
hips are as the bows of a three.
decker. Back they have like der
ricks; rough hands like pile.dri-
Vers. They wears knee short
skirts, sleeves at elbow, and kerr
chiefs. as a rule they possess ami
NAL good nature and vacant anna.
bility. Seen from a distance in a
yield, woman's motions and
postures have often an admirable
grace. In raking, STOPPING, toss
ing her hay, her action is supple
and easy. AS she labors in the
sun she keeps up a continuous
good humored chatter with her
companions, Her bare arms and
legs are bronZed by summer eX-
posture to heat and dirt, and her
vissage is of a color almost Ethio-
