Paving National Debts.
New York Times.

The credit of the various European
nations in the great money market of
the continent, as judged by the prices
at which their loans sell, is not wholly
in accordance with what most persons
would consider their relative ability to
pay their debts. To illustrate, on the
basis OF recent quotations, England Dor
rows money at the rate of hardly more
than per cent. France pays trifie
under, and Germany q small fraction
over, per cent. per annum. The ltal-
ian bonds sell at u rate that brings the
interest on the investment at 55 per
cent: the Russian debt yields 81 per
cent; the Austrian, SIS per cent, and
the Hungarian, (which is distinct from
the Austrian), about 7.6 per cent. The
standing of the United States bonds
would be between the French and the
German, an exceedingly high position,
when one considers the many attempts
that have been made, in and out of con-
gress, to impair our national credit.
But what is singular in the list given
above is the low financial standing tax
en- by the Austro- Hungarian Empire.
The debt of the country is very much
less than that Of Russia, It's people are
Weather, more enteTprising, and have
as fine sense Of commercial honor as
the subjects of the Gar. More than
this, if omparison Is made between
the imports and exports Of the two coun-
tries, it is found that Austro-Hungary
has much the larger trade. 1t Is hard
to say, under these circumstances, why
il is the bonds Of one country, the poor
err, are preferred above those Of the
weather.. The only plausible reason
is, that while Austria has often IN the
past pleaded poverty as an excuse for
the slow payment of her foreign debt
ors, Rassia has made extraordinary eff
forts to secure for them the fulfllment
of every promise. Take the incident
during the war of the Crimea, when a
Russian Government vessel was sert,
under flag of truce to London, having
on board the gold with which to pay in
terest on the Russian bonds aeld IN
England and France. This act was, no
doubt, done 70 create a sentimental
effect; but whatever the object was, the
result Injured greatly to the advantage
of Russia AM holding TO the belief
that public sentiment in Russia IS OPP
posed to Reputation, the money-lend-
ers Of Europe are ready to advance
money TO the Gar IN larger quantities
and at better rates than could be OBJ
tanned by any other ruler in similarly
Strengthened condition.

Don't Box the Ears.

Could parents realize the suffering
they iniiict, or know how much perma-
nent injury results from habit of box
ing the ears of their children, as a
mode of punishment they would shud-
der. Many child's hearing has been
ruined for life by blows administered
by parent who really loved it, but
who thoughtlessly and in angry haste,
gave 'box on the ear" which, per-
haps, may destroy the hearing perma-
nently. DIR. Charles Burnett, in his
book, Hearing, and How to Keep 1t"
says on this point:
"A force productive of rupture of the
drumhead, quite common among bru-
tai people, IS a box upon the ear.
The explosive force comes on
the drumhead either SO suddenly that
the membrane is not prepared for it,
or it is so powerful, and the membrane
so delicate. A word of caution
must therefore be given here respect
ing that most reprehensible custom Of
pulling children's ears in punishment.
1t is not only cruel. but very likely to
iniiame the dense fbrous tissues hold
ing the auricle IN place. Such an in
hamation, if not speedily checked,
would lead to hardness of hearing, and
perhaps permanent deafness. Should
the bone entering into the framework
of the ear underlying these infiamed
structures, also become involved IN
the aforesaid inflammation, results even
fatal TO life may ensue."

A GoLD MINE NEAR HICKMAN
Why KEEP 1T A SECRET II TRusf-some
days ago good citizen, one whom we
know to be a clever gentleman, with no
disposition to deceive himself or to hoax
others, took us aside, aud asked permits
sion to impose his confidence as to mat
ter he considered Of great Importance to
himself. Being assured that the matter
entrusted to our confidence Immediately
concerned no one but himself, we promis-
ed not to expose any part of the same to
bis injury or discredit Our friend was,
and is yet, nervously apprehensive that
re may be deceiving himself, and is right
smartly hopeful that he has discovered a
bonanza, and is too difident in one sense
and too hopeful in the other to dream in
the slightest degree of attempting 10
deceive others. Indeed, he believes that
he has discovered gold mine in the hills
near here, or rather in one of the ravines
or hill gulcbes. His object in taking us
into his confidence was with the hope OF
solving the doubt in his mind as to wheth'
err the substance being found was gold oil
not. We rather believe it contains gold
but, if so, mixed with good per centag'
OF iron, silver or copper, or something o
the kind. Our opinion didn't enlighteI
our friend particle, further than TO con
firm his doubts and excite his hopes.
it turns out to be a fact, the readers o
