silver and Gold in France.
New York Daily Graphic.


In France silver Is Il legal-tcndcr to any
amount.
In France silver is mt par with gold,-that
is, the fivefranc piece, containing less silver
than our silver dollar, will buy gold piece of
the same weight as the American gold dollar.
In France specie payment will be resumed
on New-Year's Day.
1t might be profitable 30 put this and those
together And a Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune does try to put them
together under the above head, and pretty
mess he makes of it, This correspondent al
lercs that there IS no silver to speak of in
France, and that resumption will be, "of

spoken more intcllgently if he had before HIM

of gold and silver in the Bank of France on

Wide Awake.

The January number is larger than usual
by sixteen pages, and is almost wholly given
to holiday topics There are half dozen
Christmas stories, among which Christmas in
a Cabin, Kitty's Christmas, and Christmas in
an Insane Asylum are about the best; and
there are several Christmas poems-The Jolly
Christmas Sevens, King Marshmellow, &c,
all illustrated with II profusion of humorous
pictures. But most attractive of all TO many
readers Of Wide Awake will be the Christmas
Comedy written especially for students in
French, and just the thing for school exhibit
tons.
A new serial, by Mrs Lucia Chase Bell,
opens with great brightness; and another new
serial, by Chas. r. Talbot, is marked by still
more decided vigor and originality.

wines are hurtful 10 the nervous system, caus-
ing trembling. confusion of language, and

champagne rise quickly TO the head, but their
effects are only of short duration Sherry and
strong cider are more quickly intoxicating
than the generality Of wines, and they have a
peculiar influence ON the gastric juices of the

dull, but its use does not hinder the drinkers
from gaining flesh. The drinkers of whisky

especially any money favors. The
public sentiment is averso to any

tions. 1t is in favor, instead, of
compelling the existing corpora
tions to come up rigidly to the
letter of their bonds. The nation
is fairly deafened with the mendi-
cant clamor for largesses which
comes from every direction. 1t is
felt that granting aid to any cor
poration now would be opening the
door to myriad appeals from every
quarter of the compass, and to es-
tablishing a practice, on gigantic
scale, which the Democratic party
has fought against for over three
quarters Of century. If the ma

circumstances, lend any moneyed
aid to any enterprise, ii is now
justly felt that it should itself own

IT is all wrong to suppose that
railways can be run in a sparsely
settled country like Southern Cali
fornia AMI Arizona on anything
like the same plan which is FEAST
BILE in the thickly populated East,
where there is, in the same dis.
lance, q thousand patrons of and
feeders to q railway for one which
exists here. But it is right that
railways that have received gov
eminent lands or other favors
should be subjected to q close and
vigilant government supervision
which would prevent their making
charges clearly out of the bounds of
reason, and put veto on discrimi-
nation in any shape. The South
ern Pacific Railway stretching to
the Rio Grande, the Mississippi
an: to the cities of the Atlantic
seaboard, and run under a rigid
Congressional Supervision which
would sympathize with local devel-
opment everywhere, would, next to
railway owned outright and run
by the government itself (Which is
the best place of all,) give our
city the best guarantee of a com.
inercial future.

THERE is every reason to suppose
that Los Angeles will be accorded
two terms annually of the Supreme

WHO pays for all these fantas-

that every one has to scrape pretty
hard to gst his taxes together these
hard times. Besides tho expense
of printing, there is that Of copy

it comes to city charter. A few
