A STRIKING comparison is drawn by the
Messenger Franco-Americain between the
French and American system of street-clean-
ing. The sweeping of the streets of Paris is
under the charge of the municipality. The
removal of dirt, offal, &C., however, is carried
on by contractors, who pay the city con-
siderable sum for the privilege of taking it
away for the purposes of manure. From this
source the city of Paris derives quite large
revenue. In New York the cleaning of the
streets costs $4,000 day. 1t is done by
hired sXeepers and carriers. Instead of sell
ling the street dirt the city is embarrassed to
know what to do with it. 1t has it carried
away by barges and vessels, at great expense
outside of Sandy Hook, where it is
thrown into the sea. AS this is often i'm
practicable in winter, it is now proposed to
discharge the sweepings, ofal, &C., into the
narrow strait between Blackwelps Island and
New York, in order TO fill it up. The Mayor
has signed an ordinance to this effect, and it
only waits the sanction of the Legislature to
become law. This, however, will not make
the streets of New York any cleaner, and
they are now among the filthiest in the
world. The Highway Departments of our
principal cities should. adopt the Partisan
plan of removing and selling their dirt, rub
bish, &C., thereby lessening the cost of one
Of the most expensive branches of municipal
government.

Specie Resumption.

A year ago Senator Sherman in the deb ates
on the financial question, said of specie re-
sumption, "Who can doubt that, with or
without legislation, the work can be accom-.
plished by Secretary who will obey and ex-
ecute the law2" The declaration of Senator
Sherman, Secretary Sherman of course heart
;ly endorses, and under the administration OF
the new chief of the Treasury Department
we may confidently expect speedy resump-
tion. All the powers possessed by the Secre-
tary year ago are possessed b. him now,
and the condition of affairs is much more IA
vorable to return TO the true standard of
value now than it was then. The bill of 1875,
framed as compromise measure and sup
ported as such by the friends and the oppo-
nents of initiation, has proved in practice a
measure of contraction. Under its provi-
sions the banks, compelled by the general
dullness, have retired their superfuous cur
rency, while at the same time the volume of
greenbacks has been considerably reduced.
The fractional currency has been nearly all
displaced by silver. The amount of imports
has been materially reduced because of the
economy necessitated by the stagnation of
enterprise, while exports have been increased
by the abundant demand for our agricultural
products and the growing call for articles of
American manufacture. In consequence of
this state of exports and imports the balance
of trade is greatly in our favor, and gold in
stead of staying abroad is coming back to us
in large amount. The precious metal is ac-
cumulating in all the repositories, and the
premium upon it is fast disappearing. The
shrinkage of values has almost reached its
limit, and commercial and Industrial enter
prises are on the mending hand. All crcum-
stances conspire to make easy the fulfllment
of our pledge to resume specie payments in
twenty-one months, and we look to the treas
ury for prompt and efficient action to that
end. Greenbacks are approaching par so
fast that before long the gold in the country
will readily pass into the circulating medium
of exchange if enough of the paper currency
be displaced to make room for il. In this
situation it becomes the duty of the Secretary
to withdraw the greenbacks as speedily as is
practicable.

BISMARCK is having an unhappy expert
ence as Chancellor of the German Empire
and he complains that his health is suffering
under the worry and trouble that he is sub
jected to by his political adversaries, and also
in consequence of the lukewarm support he
receives from some of the Cabinet Ministers.
In recent speech in the Reichstag he cited
the case of Gen. Won Stosch, Chief of Ad.
miralty, who forced upon the Premier vast
amount of labor in preparing the correspond.
ence to show the necessity of the reduction in
the Admiralty estimates which Bismarck ad-
vocated, and then, when the matter came up
for discussion in the Reichstag, Won Stosch
at once consented to the desired reduction
upon the demand being made by the Liber-
ais. What he would not do for the Chancel-
lor he would do for the enemies of the latter,
and when Bismarck narrated the circum-
stances in his speech Won Stosch at once ten
dered his resignation. The Emperor, how
ever, declines to accept It, and the unfriendly
Minister remains to harass his chief.

The latest importations of French dresses
show what the Parisians call "high novelties
in design, materials, combinations of colors and
trimmings. These novelties are dresses in
Louis QuiDze designs, or in the styles of the
First Empire, or else. they are ornamented
with the Breton embroideries of to-day and
have the jsunty Breton Jacket with its charac-
tsristic vest, buttons, needle-work and pock-

The Louis Quinzs dresses are the most dis
tinguished looking in design and are made of
the softest India cashmere, ornamented with
embroidered velvet, and are worn over silk.
They consist of asquare habit, medium long,
with a vest, worn over a cliHging fan.train
skirt to which long over-skirt breadths are
attached, or on which the over-skirt is merely
simulated by trimming. The straight habit

This vest is a kind of long plastron that does

without being tied back by tapes underneath,

THAT was remarkable statement which
Col. Ingersoll made in his New York lecture
that if the election of President had gone to
the House the Southern men wonld have
united with the Republicans in choosing
Hayes over Tilden. The county knows how
well some behaved throughout the contro.
versy. 1t knows how they insisted upon a
peaceful settlement. 1t knows how they re-
fused to sustain the Tilden scheme of filibus-
tering and obstruction. But, in spite of all
this, the statement that they would have
voted for Hayes seems incredible.
