THERE is considerable interest excited
In Europe by the fact that the French
Government is still carrying out its pro-
gramme of military operation and forti-
fication on the lavish scale that was
planned Immediately after the German
war indemnity was paid off and disposed
of. On the Belgian frontiers the outlay
Is notably large, as much as $4,000, 900
being set apart for the works proposed at
Dunkirk. This extensive construction
Of Notifications that may be used for
offensive or defensive purposes alike, lead
to the belief in military circles that
in the event, by no means improbable in
the future, of renewal of hostilities
between France and Germany, that the
former would promptly seize Belgium
1t is well known that France has looked
for many years with covetous eyes upon
that little Kingdom whose people gener-
ally speak the same language, and whose
ideas and national idiosyncrasies are al.
most as French as Paris itself. It is
greatly to be regretted that some Peace
Congress could not be evolved whose
arguments should prove so convincing as
to lead the rulers of Europe to say, with
the vast military ornaments that are
slowly grinding the masses of mankind
into the dust, to dismiss the armies that
are standing with their weapons at each
others throats, waiting for the signal to
be given to commence the awful deeds of
carnage and destruction that war newt
ably precipitates.

ECONOMY.

The people of Connecticut are and
always have been thrifty people. Had
other and newer States taken example
by the wooden nutmeg State, other States
that are now incumbered-not TO say
impecunious-would have been in better
financial health. In Connecticut the
subject, Or question, of economy has been
reduced by q long course Of careful in
vestigation to the dignity of SCIENCE
1t has been satisfactorily shown that the
paupers who have allowed themselves to
become burden upon the public can be
fed and clothed, and housed for the sum
Of seventy-eight cents a week, or forty
dollars and fifty cents year, and this,
too, in cases where the pauper is helpless
either from old age or disease, and can
render no service. a.o. .r.......
Now such result is most admirable,
if it is admired as much by the paupers
themselves as it is by the economical
taxpayers. 1t is to be feared, however,
that there may be difference of opinion
between these two parties who have
diverse interests, but the judgment ofthe
world is necessarily in favor of the
stronger party. To the grumbling pau
pers it is only necessary to fire off a
Shakspearean quotation:
"Ingratitude. thou ma tle.hearted fiend," &c.
The churches are quite as conservative
as the civil authorities in this matter of
economy. Now in Norwich, which is
quite large town in Connecticut, the
churches let out the duties of sexton
and janitor at auction to the lowest
bidder. The person bidding the lowest
takes the situation. His duties are to
take care Of the church and see to the
proper burying Of the dead and good
many other little incidental scenes that
the pastor and the pastors wife and the
deacons and the deacons' wives may call
on him for. The position is not really
a laborious one, but may, and quite
probably would, be. a very aggravating
one for nervous man, but the con-
sciousness of reward makes this Office SO
desirable as to bring forward many COM
petitors @'. ST..

long time to eradicate from the
toleration il has had among men of sense
we refer to the matter of dueling-
that seems to have found its Cervantes in
the French newspaper editor of the
times. These valiant knights of the
quill and the blood-sticking sabre have a
fashion when politics and news become
lukewarm of sending challenge to
brother of the tripod and presto, a san
culinary encounter is chronicled next day
at the Bois de Boulogne or
over on the Belgian frontiers.
No damage, Of course, ever come
to these val orous French fire-eaters any
more than to the street mountebank who
puts burning cotton in his mouth and
blows the smoke out through his nose,
and none is ever expected to; but the
spectacle is even less edifying as show,
because one may balance himself on the
curb-stone and regard the cotton fend at
his leisure, while the dueling mounte-
bank has theory that it is chic to sur
round his performances at the, Bois de
Boulogne with sort of quasi
secresy, and none of the excitement
that accompanies burnt powder, or the
thrill that electrically vibrates the back
bone at the sight of flashing sabre, is,
or can be felt at reading the melo-dra-
matte recital published next day in order
to secure an increased sale for the duel
lists paper. We think it is something
over thirty desperate duels that Mons
Paul de Cassagnac, editor of the Paris
Pays, is accredited with fighting, in one
or two of which he has through the mad
vertance of his adversary been slightly
wounded, generally mere scratch.
If there is anybody else in France except
the editors themselves who fail to see the
comicality of these mock heroics, they
must be the Swiss guards who get the
credit of saying all the stupid things and
doing I'LL the foolish ones that ever occur
in that country. These things used to
happen sometimes long while ago in the
United States. Only week ago couple
of green sophomores at Virginia college
went aside and recited with swords or
horse pistols couplet from Bonn
bastes Furisso and came home to break
fast unharmed and believing themselves
Paris and Agamemnon. But these things
have gone out of date here among men of
sense. as in the days when dueling was to
some extent tolerated among Americans
our Southern hotspurs got into the way
of throwing themselves into the affair
with much the same unconscious aban-
don with which Mr. Booth, the elder,
played Orchard III" in the fight with
the 'Duke of Richmond" There are
some cases on record where some of our
duelists actually so far forgot themselves
as to inAict grave personal harm upon
their adversaries. But these were rare
and the code is now practically an obso-
lete institution in the United States, as
we think the valiant Partisan editors are
in fair way of making it in France. xSN
