FRENCH AND AMERICAN FINANCE The
London STANDARD, in a leading article, draws
comparison between the United States and
France respecting the return to specie pay
ment:
The financial conduct of the latter" it
says has been marked by the most conSum-
mate ability,while that of the former has been
laundering and ShOrt-Sigted. The Bank of
France has resumed specie payment since the
first of January, and with such remarkable
skill has the feat been accomplished, and so
little change has it made in the ordinary
course of business, that some of the Paris
papers are actually disputng whether in fact
possibility OF such an argument is the highest
testimony to the management OF the bank
When 1t has so conducted its business that the
trading public is unaware of any change when
the notes lose their legaltender character, we
have the incOntestable proof that through an
exceptionally trying period, the management
has been above all praise.
In America the incOnvertible paper is still
deprecated, and hot discussion is going Oh
as to whether resumption can be effected at
the time fixed by law, and even as to the metal
III which the debts OF the country are to be
paid. France, it says, is sustaining weight
OF taxation that to any other continental cOlln-
Try would be ruinous, and is straining every
nerve to once more replace her military pres
tlge. America on the other hand, is SO far
removed from powerful rivals that it is free
TO live its own life and devote all its energies
TO the development of its own well being. hav-

~ Miss Bradley, NJ. d., died in Phila"
delpha last Tuesday 1T the age OF forty
Years. Twenty years ago she applied for
admission to several medical colleges and
was refused admittance on account of her
sex. But she was determined to be Il
phvsician, so she cut off her hair and
donned male apparel and thus secured
admission to tho Philadelphia College of
Physicians and Surgeons, whence she
was graduated with distinguished hon
ors. After obtaining her diploma she re-
sumcd her female dress and avowed her
identity to the profound astonishment
of the professors. After Il sojourn IN En-
your she returned home and acquired Il
large practice in which she was unusual
lv S,,cccssful, and died the other day
universally respected by her profession.
Thc moral of which is that one thing can
be done us we'll as another.
