silver; soon after, and in order, the 25-
franc, 5O-franc, 200-franc, and 500-franc
notes followed. They were bought up
and destroyed. (3) On the 1st of Jan
uary, 1878, the bank formally resumed,
as it had long before practically done,
specie payments, and within month
nearly all the extraordinary issue of
paper put out during the war had been
taken up and destroyed. The bulk of
the regular issues of the bank is now in
notes of the denominations of 500, 500,
and 5000 each; all small money is silver
and gold.
The present average note circulation
of the Bank of France, including what
is held in the bank itself, is 100000
600, all of which is redeemable on de-
mand in coin, and no part of which is
now legal tender in France but silver
and gold.
At no time was the paper money of
France in excess of $640,000,000; and
the process Of reducing this began i'm
mediately after the close of the German
war. The bank and its forty or more
branches have now only $45O.000,000 of
bank notes outstanding, for the redemp-
tion of which it holds from 90 to 90 per
cent. in coin; and this paper money is
not a legal-tender to any amount, and
is by law redeemable on demand in coin
The issue of bank notes may be increas-
ed to $3.50, 100000, but the bank must, like
the Bank of England have the specie
with which to redeem it, and the paper
itself depends on the solvency of the
bank, and not upon any Governmental
support beyond being depositor in the
bank. The paper itself is not legal
money, and nothing is now a legal ten
der in France except gold and silver
Keep those facts in mind.

Necessity Of Mental Culture.

We can not discipline the mind too
much. However careful we may be of
the body, to adorn it and guard it from
disease, we should always be sure to
keep the mental ahead of the physical
training. A weak mind in a body is
pitiable sight. 1t is not possible to
overestimate the beneficial effect of
correct mental education. The moral
and mental powers are so intimately
connected that the one cannot be influ-
enced, or cultivated, without an equal
influence being exerted upon the other,
and as we cannot bind thought, or drive
it, we are required only to lead the
mind of the pupil, and direct the out
going of thoughts already there. 1t is
almost impossible to dam up the living,
running stream, but its course may be
changed, it may be widened and enlarg-
ed, and be made of great value to the
country through which it flows
Thoughts are the moral and mental gal
vanism of the universe, the soul of his
tory and the genius of prophecy, and as
it passes through the mind, creates an
influence that continues on, for good or
evil, in accordance with the line of
training Ibid.

THE fall term Of our city schools
will begin next Monday, Sept. ?, and it
is very desirable that all who expect to
attend should be ready to enter their
respective classes on that day. The
opening of the new school on Walnut
street, to be known as the Wilcox
school, will enable US to make some
very desirable changes for the accom-
nodation Of pupils.
The Wilcox building will contain the
High school, which, for the past three
years, has been in the west-side building
and one new primary department This
will relieve two of the over crowded
primary rooms on the east side, and by
Withdrawing the High school from the
west side, enable all grammar school
pupils to attend on their respective
sides of the river, thus bringing school
accommodations nearer to more than a
hundred of our pupils.
Pupils living on the east side of the
river, and north of Munroe street, who
last term attended the first primary, and
others of the same grade, who are enter
ing school for the first time, will attend
the Wilcox primary school.
Now that the high school is to be by
itself, we shall endeavor to raise some
what the standard for admission, and to
make it more truly high school than
it has been in the past. There will be
two courses of study One calculated
to fit students for the State University,
and another more suited to the wants of
those who will not be able to take a col
legiate course. Also better opportuni-
ties than heretofore will be offered to
those who wish to fit themselves to
teach \ normal class will be formed.
lectures on didatics given, and an op-
portunity afforded Of witnessing the
practical application Of the most ap-
proved method in our city schools. 1t
is especially desirable that any who in
tend to enter the High school at any
time in the year, should come in when
school opens, though, if this is impossi-
bic they may enter at any time, and we
will accommodate them to the best of
orr ability.

Paper Money OF France.
Tribune.

A correspondent seeking information
writes us asking several questions, and
as the information may be useful to
others as well as to him, we answer in
this form. He asks: Cd What was the
circulating medium in France prior to
the German wal, and was it issued by
the Government or by the banks, and
how much was in circulation? 2) Did
the French Government during the
German war issue paper money, making
it a legal tender? If not the Govern
ment, did the bank, and was it legal
tender? (9 Has this paper money been
redeemed in coin since then?
CD At the outbreak of the Franco
German war, in 1870, the paper circula-
tion of the Bank of France was $251,-
100000, the bank holding a special re-
serve of 1928, 100000, equal to 80 cents
on the dollar There was no other bank
of issue in France, and the lowest notes
issued were for 100 francs. or $50 The
Government issued no paper money
then or since. (2) The Government be-
ing in great want Of money, authorized
the Bank of France to issue its notes to
a sum not exceeding 3, 200, ,000,0 600 francs,
or about $64O00O,OOO, such notes to be
a legal-tender, and specie payments be-
ing suspended Of this issue of bank
paper the government borrowed in all
1860 100000 franca, or $3O6, ,OOO, 900, the
same to be repaid in seven annual in
stalments of about 223,0OO,0O0 francs
each, or $A,0O0,OO0. 1t was provided
by law, however, that as soon as the
Government should by payment reduce
the debt due the bank to 3OO,OOO,OOO
francs, or $6O,0OO,00O the notes should
cease to be legal-tender and the bank was
to resume specie payments, the time
being Jan |, 1873. The war was hardly
over, and the indemnity to Germany put
in process Of payment, before the Gov
ernment began its re-payments to the
bank. As fast as the Government paid
over the notes to the bank they were
Cancelled and the bank began another
form of reduction. 1t first called in
the fve-franc notes, redeeming them in

The genius of our age requires brevity
and point. Sciences are multiplying so
rapidly-there is so much to be done,
that we can not afford to use a single
unnecessary word.
Why pile rule upon rule, and burden
the pupil with page upon page of that
which can be Of no practical use to him?
Science, art and literature have opened
their avenues so far, and there is so
much to interest and instruct us there,
we ought not to cucumber the track Of
learning with the rubbish of by-gone
age. We ought to cherish the strength
and eloquence of our mother English;
learn to write and analyze it correctly,
and then go forward to use its revela-
tions in exploring the beauties Of Chem
istry, the facts of Natural Philosophy,
and the lessons Of Botany and Natural
History. Before the light of modern
science had dawned, students of the
middle ages delighted in investigating
the beauties and curiosities of speech

ence was superstitious. Newton raised

achich can be prored to be"

IN accordance with the philosophy of
Lord Bacon, let us cherish the ancient,
as useful in showing us the spirit Of the
past age, and affording US a noble disci-
pline for the mind; but let us divest all
that is now done of the spirit of lag
gard and superstitious age. Let our
speech be pure, our rules plain, let US
teach the.child the meaning and use of
what he learns Let us abhor shams
and mock gravity and show Of learn
ing, and prove to our pupils that the de-
mands of the age are for those things
which are OF the most practical use and
will produce the best results, thus caus-
ing an influence to be felt for positive
good. We are now fighting a moral bat
tie. Intellectual weapons are required.
Drones have no place in this army
Those are demanded who can use Ian
guage well, and to some purpose; those
who can strike sparks Of truth from the
anvil of science, literature and art.
Never before has the demand for e6ec-
tire utterance been so great. or the
cause of truth demanded so much cor
rect and forcible talking and writing.
1t is for this reason, we are doing a good
work when we urge the claims Of cor
rect method of the use of the English

City ELECTION On Monday next, be-

we have no special favorites for these pc.

lieve they have tried to do their duty faith
fully, although they have been beset and
hard pushed by a class Of men who ought
to better respond to demands for public
and general Improvement Of our town.
Some have with held the snews of war,
who ought to be ashamed of the excuses
they offer for so doing. Some seem to
think that there should be no municipal
government, in fact. Judging by their acts
we would infer that they were opposed to
every species of government, save their
own personal volition to do as they please
without let or hinarance But no com
immunity can long prosper without some
rule OF conduct 30 which all alike must he
