RussfAN CREDTT.-The Berlin bank
ers are reported to have again refused
10 float a Russian loan. They are noe
TO blame in so doing, for there is scafee-
" a possibility, in the case of a war be-
tween England and Russia, that such 0
loan would ever be paid. la fact, Russia
has never been able to call in the paper
money debt created in 1854 for Tie sup
port Of the Crimean war, and the recent
var with Turkey has cost, in extraoF-
binary expenses, S34. 200, 900 roubless
besides COZ, 600, 900 of regular expendis
ture for the year. This money, l, 49,
O00, 900 roubles, has been only raised
in part, a portion OF il still remaining
''out;" il was realized through foreign
loan Of I25, O00, 600 rOubles, domestic
loan OF $50, 000.0 G0 roubles and an ad.
vance of 2S5, 200, 900 roubles obtained
from the imperial Bank. The uneov.
cred and irredeemable paper currency
of Russia now amounts to 1910, O0O,~
900 roubIes, and the gold premium has
already reached 40 per cent. II jumped
up at once 90 points upon the announce.
ment Of Lord Derby's resignation and
the calling out of the reserves. Under
such circumstances, for Russia 10 20 TO
war with power so strong 10 navy and
money is certainly perilous in the exc
IRENE. Russia is only able now 20 buy
abroad and pay the interest on her for
eign debt by means Of the duties re-
ceiVed al the custom-house, and which
are payable in gold. But this source
would be cut off by British blockade
Of the Baltic and the White Sea. Tho
first effect Of such blockade would be-
to destroy Russian commerce, except
only so much as comes overland by rail-
road and through Germany. This trade
could never be large enough TO keep the
Cars Government going in times OF
peace. How il expects TO get along in
time Of war cannot be imagined.

PERvERsE DAYs.--There are certain

thing goes wrong. BY kind Of total
depraVity, which extends to things ma
terial; whatever happens seems TO- be-
come q new wild animal in the Aaena-
gerie, and ones life, for the time being
Is fearful snan. A friend Of ours calls
these seasons, not appropriately, "de-
vii days" For instance, you hunt AL
over the room for pencil, which you
are sure you have seen within Eve MINI
utes, and having lost both patience and
temper, find il at last behind your esFe
You are in a hurry and want pen-
knife. You always keep il in one place
because you know that some time YOU
will get befogged, just as you are now
but when you put your hand out to-
take il il is not there. Then you fret
and scold and vow that somebody Has.
surreptitiousIy entered the room and
purloined il. After you have fined
yourself into a fever you look again,
and there it is, lying ia ifs accustomed
place, Just as serenely as child IN its
cradle. You were looking straight at
IL and didn't see il. Then The whole
household, which you have SET 10 hunt
ing il up, and each individual member
Of which you have accused Of having 10
in his pocket, rushes in and asks you
where you found il, and makes you feet
like an idiot when you confess that IL
was just where they all told you it was.
These are the things which make one
wish he had never been born.

GinARb CoIEnen.-Much has been
SID and published concernEngone Of the
peculiar provisions Of Mr.. Girard's win
Ii connection with the College. The
clause referred 70 reads as follows:
Il enjoin and require that no eccle-
siaslic, missionary, or minister Of any
sect whatever, shall ever hold or exer-
e.ss H8y ssAsi0n 0r duty whatever NJ lie
said College; nor shall any such person
ever be admitted for any purpose, or as
a visitor, within the premises appro-
priated to the purpose Of said College.
In making this restriction / do not mean
to cast any reflection upon any sect or
person whatsoever; but as there is such
a multitude of sects and such q diversi-
ty OF opinion amongst them, desire to
keep the tender minds of the orphans,
who are to derive advantage from the
bequest, free from excitement, which
clashing doctrines and sectarian contro-
versy are so spt TO produce; my desire
is that all the instructors and teachers
in the College shall take pains to InstilI
into the minds of the scholars the phr-
est principles OF morality, so that on
their entrance into active life they may
from inclination and habit, evince be-
nevolence toward their fellow-creatures
and love oftruth, sobriety and indus
try, adopting at the same time such re-
ligIous tenets as their matured reason
may enable them toprefer." This res
friction has always been strictly CON-
piled with, and not only have all reli-
gious services been conducted BY the
laymen, but all clerical visitors have
been carefully excluded. As an illus
tratlon of the care observed, a certain
weIl-known Senator from the Western
part of the State once visited the Col
lege with Committee of the Legisla-
ture. He wore, as was his custom, an
ample white cravat, which often gave
a very different impression as to his
profession from that produced by his
usual style of conversation. The gate
keeper OF the College, mistaking him
for a clergyman, politely stopped him
with: "You can't come in here, sir %
1.-THE HI can'tl" exclaimed the irate
and profane Senator. "Oh! yes sir;
come in, come mi You're all right p
hurriedly explained the gate-keeper,
satisfied that the veteran Senator was
fully qualified as visitor.

st. ALBANs, May 13. This morn
ing about 10 o'clock Thos. Leduc ar
rived in ST. Adams, having in his
possession an under garment which
formerly belonged to Miss Marietta
Ball, whom Joseph La Paige brutalIy
murdered on Adds Hill nearly four
years ago. The arrival in town Of
Ledue with one of the long missing
and unaccounted for pieces OF Miss
Balls clothing, which she was known
to have had in her possession when
she left home that fatal Friday, has
created no little excitement here.
When Mr.. Lodue walked into the Of
flee Of Justice Horace II. Farnsworth
and the Journal news bureau this
morning, having in his possession a
carefully wrapped up bundle, and stat
ed that he had found a portion Of Miss
Balls missing clothes, ii could scarcely
be believed. For since the confess ioa
of La Page and his most minute ex-
PLANTATION the night before his death
where he had hidden the missing art
icles under log, near the old mill,
which was out Il few steps from tho
house formerly occupied b. La Page,
every nook and corner has been
searched and every log overturned
but no trace of any of the missing
articles could be found. The garments
just found by Ledue was not found
in any Of the localities searched or in
the spot so infinitely described by La
Page. The circumstances Of the find
ing and the locality are as follows
Joseph Ledue rented the house to La
Page, where La Page resided at the
time Of the Ball murder. Since La
Page vacated there has been but one
tenant in the house. They left it
some time since, the house remaining
vacant, Ledue began demolishing
the barn connected with the premises
yesterday, and when he got off a por-
ton Of the roof and got in upon the
rafters he found carefully slowed away
in an is0 ate corner the garment. 1t
was carefully wrapped up without any
covering. Upon his bringing it out
he found the garment to correspond
precisely with TIE missing one. On
it were very large blood spots. The
garment was somewhat mildew and
age worn, but otherwise in q good
state IF preservation. Justice Farms
worth states that the garment was
Marietta Balls beyond doubt. The
other garment, viz, the dress, Slip
pcrs, brush and comb, have not yet
been found, and it is now believed
LII Page burned them. A most singu-
lar circumstance comes to light now,
strangely coupled with the finding OF
this garment by LQdue. Some weeks
after the murder a neighbor noticed
in La Pages house finely worked
night dress. Mrs. La Page was asked
where they got it, and her reply was,
it was sent them from Canada as o
present. This circumstance is now
considered sufficient to warrant the
night dress as having been Miss
Balls. A further search will be made
for the other missing articles, but the
prospects arc not encouraging.

A European correspondents Of &n

since that at a reception lately, En-
President Grant appeared in Gene
RAILS uniform, and 81 question has been
raised here by what right lie did 50.
1t is rule of etiquette in Europe that
on state occasions, full dress recep-
tons, &c, all guests should wear the
uniform or dress corresponding to
their highest titla-or at least the uni
form Of the degree corresponding to
the rank of the person rendering The
hospitality, if Of Il degree below King
or Prince. Strictly speaking, we have
no titles. But as President, General
Grant was Commander-iu-Chef OF
the Armies and Navy of the United
States. His highest military title was
that Of General. Hence it was simply
an act of courtesy for him TO sppear

better right to do so. Vanity is not
