The Growing Wealth Of France.

The growing wealth of France, dis
played in the readiness with which all
requests for loans are met, has tempted
the republicans to recommence the Ma
poleonic policy of enormous public
works. The Minister of the Depart
ment, M. De Freycinct, has obtained the
sanction of the assembly and the senate,
to plan for expending twenty millions
year for ten years, to be raised by
loans, on harbors, canals, and rural rail-
ways. 1t is believed that all these
works will pay, aud NJ. Leon Say, in
speech at Boulogue-where a new port
has been sanctioned a. one of the first
of these works-stated his full belief
that the money could easily be realized.
So great are the savings of the people
that more than ElO, ,OOO, 900 has been de-
posted in the savings banks in the past
seven months, and the credit of France,
as shown in the last effort to negotiate
redeemable 3 per cents, is slowly ap-
prosching that of England. The gov
ernment can obtain money more cheaply
than at any time in the past 81 years,
and the people are complaining that they
do not get interest enough. Whatever
the other consequences of the law of
equal partition in France, it certainly
has developed the passion of industry to
unprecedented degree. The French pea
SAINT works and saves AZ no man works
and saves, certainly not the Englishmsn,
who, though industrious, has not acquir-
ed from the possession of property the
instinct of thrift. Twenty years hence,
if peace can be maintained, France will
only feel her taxation as a whip, stimu-
lsting an industry which, if itreaped its
full reward, might flag from plethora

his rabbits and his dogs. He held the

Down in Concord, Cacarrus county,
North Carolina, curious litigation has
been commenced, illustrating the dam
ger of indulging in practical jokes at the
expense of the ignorant and unfortunate.
John NJ. Imgraham, . wealthy citizen of
that place, was applied to by John
Forst, poor man with 4 wife and five
children, for employment. Imgraham
said he had no regular position to give
Forst, but had the occasion for the hides
of 5000 lizards, for which he would pay
$4,000. Forst promised to try and get
them, and in order to make the Jest
more complete Imgraham gave his note
for the money, conditioned upon the de.
livery of the hides. Thereupon Forst
and his family betook themselves to the
mountains, established q camp, and be-
gan their hunt. In less than q month
they had secured the whole quota Of
hides, and returning to Concord, de-
manded of the astonished Imgraham .
fulfiilment of the contract. He at once
repudiated the bargain on the ground
that the whole thing was piec< OF pleas
antry. But FOrst was not TO be trifled
with that way, and now Imgraham finds
himself involved in an action 1t law
upon his note. Forst has secured first
class counsel, and if he doesn't recover
the amount of the note it will
be because the courts of North Carolina
don't know what equal and exact jus
tice Ii.

The Eagles Optic.

The wonderful mechanism of the
eagles eye is one of the most striking
things in nature. From an exchange we
clip the subjoined interesting comments
upon the eye of the King Of Birds":
When we recollect that an eagle will
ascend more than mile in perpendicular
height, and from that elevation will per-
ceive its unsuspecting prey, and pounce
on it with unerring certainty; and when
We see some birds scrutinizing, with al
most microscopic nicely, an object close
at hand, we shall at once perceive that he
possesses the power of accommodating
his sight to distance in q manner to
which our eye is untitled, and of which
it is totally incapable. If we take q
printed psge we shall find that there is
some particular distance, probably ten
inches, at which we can read the words
and zee each letter with perfect distinct
ness; but if we move a page to distance
of forty inches we shall find it impossible
to read it at all; scientific man would,
therefore, call ten inches the focus or
focal distance of our eyes. We cannot
alter this focus, except by the aid of
spectacles. But an eagle has the power
Of altering the focus of his eye Just as he
pleases. He has only to look at an OBJ
ject a distance of two feet or two miles
in order to see it with perfect distinct
ness. The ball of the eye is surrounded
by fifteen little plates, sclerotic bones
They form a complete ring, and their
edges slightly overlap each other. When
the bone expands, and the ball of the
eye being relieved from the pressure
it becomes fatter, and when he
looks at very near object the little bones
press together, and the pall of the eye is
squeezed into a rounder or more convex
form. The effect is very familiar to
A person with very round
eyes is near-sighted, and only sees clearly
an object that is close to him; and q per-
,on with fat eyes, as in old age, can see
nothing clearly except at a distance.
The eagle, by the mere will, can make
ais eye round or fat, and see with equal
,learness at any distance.

Morocco must be added to the list of
famine stricken countries. The rainless
summer has been productive of fearful
misery. Entire herds of oxen, camels
and horses, and whole tlocks of sheep and
goats have perished, and their carcasses
infect the air with their decomposition.
AT Sus and the southern parts of the
the kingdom thousands Of persons have
died of hunger. Reports from Mogador,
where forty persons day fall sacrifice

tion of the drought and its consequences.

that the HeralPs weather bureau in

chill is the gem of South American
republics, having enjoyed fifty years of
independence, during half of which
time there has been no serious revolu-
tion, such rs are constantly turning and
overturning the lower half of this con-
tinent. Sir Horace Rumbold, secretary
Of the British legation there, attributes
this happy condition of affairs largely to
the fact that the extensive sea-board and
narrow territory permit troops to be
moved from the capital to any part of
the country in four days.
