The Ninety cent Eagle.


 The spread-eagle on the ninety cent silver dollar is not success, and it is al- ready announced that search is to be made for better one. The bird does not occupy an enviable position, and it should not be expected to make very good appearance, but it is believed that the first attempt at cheap representation car be improved upon. The fact that the designer of the new dollar is an Englishman has led some critics to think that he tried to present an American bird with an English aspect ; but this. it is ex- plained, was not his purpose. The eagle of the old dollar had broad shield on his breast and this was declared to be contrary to all rules of ornithology. He bore also the ap- pearance of bird which was just setting down, and the designer thought it would be more appropriate to give him the appearance of rising for new flight This was mistake The ninety cent eagle ought to be very quiet bird, and it would not be inappropriate if he should have his head tucked under his wing. The new bird retains the arrews which the old eagle held in his claws, which is very consd- crate, because if ever an eagle seems likely to need means of defense this is the one.
 What the new design is to be we have not yet heard, but if the silver certificate bill is passed it will be we'll to put waste-paper basket in the eagles beak to indicate the kind of pocket books that will come into use if pa- per representatives of uncolned bullion arc to be made an unlimited legal tender-Neao YOrk E0enSeq Post

An almost incredible story is related of Marshal Canrobert, who was sent to Rome to represent France at the funeral of Victor En- manuel and the accession to the throne of Humbert. For the expenses of himself and suite he was given 90, 900 francs, of which he spent only 1S,O00. On his return home he went to the foreign office and handed to the minister of that department the balance, amounting to 1T, 900 francs. The minister re- fused to take the money, saying that there was no precedent for such a thing; that the outlay was made and accounted for. and that there was an end to it. The marshal answered that if it was absolutely necessary that somebody should steal the money he would rather some one else should do if and
