Germany and France.

The estimated deficit in the income OF
Prussia, for the present year, is so consid-
cradle that it will be necessary to borrow
money on the security of increased taxa
ton, TO make up the revenue at least equal
10 the years expenditure. That deficit
amounts to seventy eight million marks,
equal to about $19, 10000. 1t Is general
ly admitted throughout Europe that such
a financial mishap as this ought not have
occurred. In ls71-73, France paid Prus-
sia 81 COO, ,000, 600 as ransom, or indemni-
ty, and this was much more than the cost
OF the war 10 Prussia and the other Ger
man states. OF this money Prussia took
the lions share, and rejoiced exceedingly
in the immensity Of the spoil. Vast i'm
provements were talked Of, and some
were made, particularly in Berlin, but
now, after only seven years, distress aud
discomfort are rife in Prussia. There is
a deficit of nearly twenty million dollars,
which has TO be made good, in some man
ner, and Bismarck will be sorely pressed
to pay the i'russian quota TO the general
expenses OF the German Empire. On the
contrary, France, upon which such heavy
contributions were levied after the war,
Is now more prosperous than ever, more
tranquil and satisfied than she ever was
before. These facts carry the lesson with
them that "ill-got gains have little last,
or, as another adage runs, all got, soon
gone. Pres.
