THERE is notable article In the Paris
paper, La France, signed by its editor, Emile
de Girardin, which will excite good deal OF
attention on this side of the water. 1t
speaks of new war, already broken out,
the war of industries, and says: "No ilIu-
sion is any longer possible; the industry and
commerce Of the disunited states of Europe
are seriously, very seriously, menaced with
Invasion by the industry and commerce of
the United States of America.
AS the greatest military power belongs para
mountly to the country which has the most
perfect tools of war. SO the greatest indus
trial, commercial and maritime power will
belong to that country which shall have the
tools of peace in the highest perfection and
completeness" He therefore goes on to
show how our machinery is extending the
limits OF our Industrial conquest,, and calls
upon Europe to forego war and transform
itself into league, industrial, commercial
and maritime, against the United States of
America" The Frenchman's view Of our
future may be realized, but to realize it we
must equip ourselves with one Of the most
effective OF the tools Of peace, medium of
international exchange a sound currency.
Then we shall have much "to do with abroad
and shall enrich ourselves thereby.

Reasons Why All Should Use the
ReactiOnary Health Lift.

1t makes strong appeals to the common sense of
every man or woman in every walk of life. 1t
furnishes an exercise which may and should be in
troduced into every house; which may be practced
at all seasons In all kinds of weather. by persons of
both sexes, all ages, and degrees of strength or
much in praise Of it, and no one can afford to do
without it. All who investigate thoroughly use it,
and consider 1t invaluable and indispensable II il
the safest, simplest, cheapest and most efficient
medicine ever discovered. No claim is set up for it
which is unscientifc or impracticable.
Gcneral.-It Is the best of rest. It is perfectly
SAFE No harm ever came from its use. 1t strains
no portion OF the system 1t directs the vital forces
to the affected parts. By its use the health is easily
maintained. The purchase of Reactionary Litter
is the best kind of economy. The convenience Of
having one in the house is very great.
Mind and Brain 1t inyigorates and
strengthens the brain, and renders it more active
and efficient in all its operations
steep.-It is the simplest and safest parcotfc II
is the most natural and probably the best means Of
inducing sound and refreshing sleep.
Nerves.-It is q wonderful tonic to the whola
nervous system. 1t Is most efacaeious remedy in
paralysis, if t,ken in time. - -
Lungs, Throat and Veice. 1t gives special
expansion and greater mobility to the chest; en-
tion, and brings the voice more fully under control
As preventive and cure of lung diseases it has no
equal.
Exercise-Itis Is the most perfect exercise for man
or woman. furnishing the best form of physical
culture and developement in the safest, easiest,
most thorough and expeditions manner 1t is
better than the gymnasium, and free from its

the muscles, and educates them into ever ready
faithful and efficient servants Of the will.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter Is in
clined to believe that q decided change of
mind is taking place among the shoe mer-
chants of New England in regard to the ex.
pediency of letting their debtors who are in
default settle up on whatever terms they may
propose without any searching examination
of the statements they may present as the
basis of a composition, and goes on to say,
that the moment failure happens, the in
solvent party, however honest of purpose he
may be, is apt to place . much lower esti-
mate upon his effects of every kind than he
did when he was trying to persuade himself
or at any rate those who trusted him-that
he was able to pay his debts. Up to that
time he reckoned his goods as worth what
they cost, and his receivables at their face.
During the few days or weeks, as the case
may be, that he takes to prepare his inven-
tory, his views are very likely to undergo con-
siderable modification. He has been, in the
meantime, making no sales; his merchandise
is losing something Of its freshness; his Gus
toners are making their purchases elsewhere
and it is natural, on the whole, that he
should look somewhat despondingly upon
the situation OF affairs. This is reason
enough why the creditors, through an agent
or committee in whom they can confide,
should make 1t rule to acquaint themselves
with the precise condition Of every concern
against which they hold claims. The mo-
ment man stops payment his estate Is the
property Of the parties to whom he is in
debted, ,and it is for them to determine wheth-
er they can make the most out of 1t by allow
ing him to administer upon 1t or by dele
eating that function to an assignee Of their
own selection. On this point they cannot
arrive at iudcious conclusion until they
have made an investigation thorough enough
TO satisfy themselves which course will pro-
duce the best results. The debtor, being an
interested party, ought not to expect that his
appraisal should be accepted without review
and veri1cation. There is a one-sidedness
about that mode Of doing business that is
contrary to all established principles Of con-
Quoting negotiations between men, even
when they stand on a common plane Of

A UNION soldier out West writes to Gin
cnnati paper and wants to know how much
it will cost him to have his name stricken
from the rolls Of the Union army and placed
on the Confederate rolls. He says: ''Please
advise me as soon as possible as wish to put
in an application for some position before
this Congress adjourns, and know of no
better recommendation than to prove that I
served in the rebel army" The man should
wait If he can afford to. Should the Re-
publicans carry the next House they will re-
move the disabilities of Union soldiers.

THE publication Of Mrs. Tilton's letter Of
confession will have little effect except to
excite renewed feelings of disgust in nation
which has already been nauseated by the
enormous mass of stuff said and written on
that disagreeable topic. As testimony it is
simply worthless, since the unfortunate wo-
man has told SO many contradictory stories.
1t really changes nothing, as she had ''con-
fessed' several times before, under influence
of her husband. Those persons who believe
Mr.. Beecher guilty will continue to do SO,
while the larger part of the American people
will retain their full confidence in the inno-
cence and integrity of the great preacher.

THE New York papers should have per-

Of the Easter bonnet and the appearance Of
