THE BANK OF FRANCE.

The position of the Bank of France is
the most remarkable ever held by finan
cial institution in the world. Its bills. like
our greenbacks, are forced currency 4;
are legal tender in all business transac-
tons but, although specie payments are
suspended, pass current at the same value
as gold. A Bank of France note for one
hundred francs will purchase one hundred
francs in gold. The fact that its vaults
contain larger amount of specie than
was ever before accumulated in similar
institution, does not fully account for the
fact that Its bills are at par with gold, be-
cause during the darkest days of the
Franco-German war, when Paris was
closely invested and one-lhnd of the de-
partments of France were occupied by the
German army, Its bills were only at dis.

The report that Orville L. Babcock is on

probably founded on the fact that it would
be the fittest place for him 10 retire to; but
there is an inherent improbability about

he was never known to do exactly the fl
and proper thing. If, however, the report
is true, Babcock will probably find that
