A Monster Balloon.

The largest ballon ever made was in
fiated in front of the ruins of the Palace
of theTuileries two weeks ago. 1t is 10
feet high, and is stationed at distance
of $50 feet from the ground. The enOr-
nous expense has been born by Nj.
Giffard wealthy gentleman of scien-
the balloon captive, allowing il to
make occasional ascensiOns to given
height. The car is twenty feet in
diameter; and the corridor in which
passengers are to take their places has
a double door, and contains sixteen
apartments for the storage of all articles
which are required for prolonged as
cent. Not more than fifty passengers
will be taken at once, and they will be
carried up to an elevation of 1000 feet,
the balloon being attached to cable
weighing three tons, and capable of
bearing tension of twenty-five tons,
or more than double the extreme pres
sure which will be put upon it at its
weakest point. This cable has been
placed in deep trench which has been
dug in the courtyard of the Tuileries,
and will be rolled around an immense
windlass sworked by two engines of
thirty horse power. Elch passenger
will pay 81 for the trip. On its trial
ascent tn balloon rose TO a height of 700
yards, aud was brought genly to the
earth by the steam windlasS. From
that height the Exhibition is said to
have looked like toy palace, and the
two or three millions of people like q
swarm of auts.

French Money.

Mr.. Fulton, of the Baltimore American,
writes from Paris: s'The French sous, or
pennies, and double sous, are made of bronze,
and the quantity of them in circulation is i'm
mense. Among the lower classes it is the
principal circulating medium. On the great
fete days, when the price of admission to the
Exposition was FIVE sous, four wagon loads of
this bronze money was sent to the Treasury
next day, weighing about six tons. The pas
senger railway and omnibus conductors re
ceive nothing but bronze money, and must
have cart loads brought in daily. While this
is the case in Paris, it is even more extensive
ly used in the country and the smaller towns.
The markets and small shop keepers conduct
their business largely with bronze money
Gold is more abundant than silver in the
larger branches of trade, and Government
notes are seldom seen of smaller denomina
tion than one hundred francs, up to five hun
dred and one thousand. There would seem
to be no need here for silver, as the gold five
franc and ten and twenty franc pieces are
abundant, and much more convenient and ac
ceptable than silver money. The silver de
nominations are those of five francs, equal to
our dollar, two francs, one franc, and half
franc, equal to our dime. Silver will never
be used here except as a means of making
change in purchases, or anywhere else where
gold and redeemable paper are available.
Our wiseacres at home, who imagined they
could make money plenty by issuing nine
ty-cent silver dollar, are laughed at by the
fuanciers of Europe"
