The Rotchschilds were deemed good au,hor

were supposed TO be shrewder or longerhcaded
than they Here is what the French member
of that great house said before Monetary

And NJ Rowland, Governor of the Bank of
France said at the same conference:
We have not TO deal with ideal theories The
two moneys have actually co-eXiStcd since the
origin of human society. They coexist be-
cause the two together are necessary, by
their quantity, To meet the needs of circulation.
This necessity of the two metals. has il ceased

of actual and prospective gold is such that we

A French Prince once sent an aid-de-
camp to painter, rema, kable for his love
Of Jokes and his idleness, commanding his
presence. The officer went and brought
the artist with him. A picture was given
him to copy, and he took it way with him.
It was q painting of a house. In few
davs the officer went to the painter to see
what progress he had made, and having
returned, acquainted the prince that all
was done but one chimney, on which the
painter was then employed. Some days
passed, and the picture was not returned
The prince resolved to go himself. He
did so, and found the painter still at the
unfinished chimney. a..

LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST Ann
MAILS.
90 to Kansas.

Proceedings against animals by regular
suit in court law for trespass, damage Or
murder were a, strange feature of the Mid
die Ages. Capital punishment was inflicted
by the executionel on swine for killing
children, or oxen for goring people to
death. In France up to the year 174o
thers were nearly 100 cases OF actions
against animals on record. In one case an
action was brought against certain rats for
damages. They were summoned into
court and an advocate was appointed to
conduct their defence. The lawyer at first
commanded that all the rats in the diocese
where the damage was done ought to ap-
pear. As matter of course. every clergy
man in the diocese was directed to snm-
mon the rats. On their non-appearance,
their advocate pleaded age ard infirmity,
sickness or youth, as reason for an ex-
tension of time. On the second citation a
plea of intimidation by certain cats was
mt in and the rats demanded full protec-
ton from their feline foes ON their way 10
and on their return from court This LED
to the non-suiting of the plaintiff, who
was not prepared to guarantee the neces-
sary protection, which the court regarded
as reasonable objection on the part Of
the defendants attorney; and it was IN
such case, it is said, that one Of the mos,
eminent French lawyers first attracted. pub

SYMPTOMS or DYSPEPSIA.

~S
One of the most unerring indications Of |
dyspepsia is the peculiar sensitivensss OF |
those afflicted with the disease to discus
sion of the subject. II sour stomach,
heartburn, water-brash, foul breath, bad
taste in the mouth, etc., that these are all
the effects Of dyspepsia, they Indignantly
deny the accusation as regards their In
diudual cases, and assure you in the most
solemn manner that their stomachs are
capable Of digesting every kind Of food,
and nothing they eat disagrees with them.
They are willing to admit that they fire.
quenuy get bilious, ana their livers be-
come torpid and out of order, but the idea
Of their digestive apparatus being inn
paired, or deranged, is perfectly prepos-
ferrous. sSag a32 &4s4 -s's@ ~ GA
Now, the fact is, we never get BILIOUS
until we eat more than is necessary to sup
ply the natural waste Of our bodies, and
more than our stomachs are capable of d.
gesting ana converting into healthy flesh
and blood. Biliousness is the result of in
dig gestion, and no one is ever bilious that
is not dyspeptic. Dyspepsia and bilious
ness are synonymous terms, and both are
caused by oyer-eating, or by improper and
irregular eating. Tie digestive organs,
like all the other organs Of the body,
| need, and must have, rest; and when they
are taxed beyond their powers OF endur-
ance, they become enfeebled and incapable
of performing their functions. lqa sga ~
Regularity in eating, and abstinence
from food sufficient length of time, Pc
tween meals, to enable the stomach to rest
1 and recuperate will, in most cases, restore
| impaired digestion. But men and women
generally grow very hog-headed on the
subject of diet when their stomachs be-
come demoralized, and stubbornly insist
on eating, at all hours Of tue day Or night,
whatever their perverted and abnormal ap'
petites crave, until they become hopelessly
incurable dyspeptics. Regulate the die'
to suit the changes Of climate and ths
changes in habits of life, and the capacity
for human labor, either mental or physical
is almost illimitable. Under proper con
ditions, 'sdeath from overwork," as thu
polite phrase reads, is simply an absurdity
People do not die of hard work or hare
study, but because they disregard the law
Of health by oyertaxing their mental ,an'
physical faculties when they are oppresse'
and enervated by efforts to get rid Of al
excess of improper and indigestible foo
crammed into absurd stomachs.
The generally entertained notion that
the stomach or any Internal organ is OF
. pressed, pain will be felt in the organ Il
self, is altogether fallacious. Many of tn
worst dyspeptics never feel any uneaslne'
about their stomachs. Pain is invariabi
felt in the weakest and most sensitive o.
gan, and many an aching head, palpitatin,
> heart and oppressed brain, is the effect
a small slice of cake or few Jumps 81
gar, or piece of pie, or some other IL
dige ested and indigestible stuff that is fe
q menting in stomach too much callouse
by abuse to give direct evidence
the poisonous intruder it wishes to eject.

a AvARIEGATED SALARY.

If there is any preacher Or priest
who is dissatisfied with the pay he is re.
ceiving, (as, no doubt, some have reason to
be,) let him secure an appointment in
Kansas. A clergyman in that State re-
eeived the following subscriptions, which
are certainly liberal, il not altogether
available: One mule, guaranteed value,
one hundred dollars; one sswing-machine,
twenty five dollars; five hogs, fifty dollars;
one hundred apple-trees, fifteen dollars;
one hundred photographs Of churches,
twenty five dollars; one, hog, ten dollars;
one calf, five dollars; six acres Of wheat,
. sixty dollars; twenty 1--we bushels of oats,
four dollars; one young mule, twenty dol.
lars; one carload Of coal, twenty-ons
dollars.
The advantages of the Kansas system are
that the salary is not only certain to be
paid, but there is variety in it. No weari-
some monotony fritters away the pastors
life. When he is weary with his studies,
and his PASTORAL duties are all fulfilled,
lie can light out and divert his overbur-
dened mind with the pleasures of trade.
He is at liberty to engage in business pur-
suits. which his less favored brethren who
get nothing but cash are not permitted to
do; he can engage in commercial transao-
| tions, and gain experience in commercial
exchanges. He can even revive the pleas
ure Of boyhood days, and proceed to
''swap" to his hearts content.
| The real, genuine enjoyment that would
be his in attempting to trade off mule at
good bargain is simply inconceivable., It
would be equaled only by the exuberance
Of spirit that would flow from a sanguine
effort to convert cone hundred photographs
Of churches" valued at twenty-five dollars
| (the photographs, not the churches,) } into
commercial value. The carload Of coal
would, perhaps, be of an altogether toe
utilitarian character to administer to hit
aesthetic nature, but he could unquestiona
blv derive an immense fund of amusement
| in driving around his parish in the char
acter of a sewing-machine agent, or, failing
| in that, he could fall back on the cal
with the most hopeful anticipations o
fresh veal or cash, reserving the ungar
nered wheat and oats as substitute TO
those athletic sports which delight th
muscular clergyman of merry England

of them were in saloon, with their
arms stacked in corner, one of
them became engaged in an alter
tercation with negro, who had
been sent in for more liquor by n
party of negroes, who were having
a spree. The quarrel grew out of
old ill-feeling between the white
and the black men, and resulted
i'll the killing of the negro. The
whites then moved through the
streets, shooting at negroes on

MORALLY wounded another.
