Looking at these figures It is no wonder
that the fat money lunacy is as dead as
julius Cse ssr. The circulation of the coun-
try, coin and paper convertible into coin
(not including silver certificates, which are
merely representatives OF coin), has in
creased during the last three years and a
half at the rate Of SAC. 100000 per annum.-

The Dowsger Duchess OF Galleira not
long since bestowed two splendid estates
on the Pope. The way this old lady became
so rich is curious. The late Duke possessed
fortune of 300 100000 francs, which would
by the ordinary course Of devolution, go to
his only son. The heir, however, in his
fathers lifetime, declared that he intended
to renounce the world. Instead of retiring
to a cloister, as he would have done in the
Middle Ages, he went in his twentieth year
into the erritorY of Nice, aud applied for
a situation as q village schoolnfsster. His
father regarded the thing as a mere freak,
and sent his son every year 800, 900 francs.
The young man, however, sent this sum
every year to Paris, requesting it should be
expended on the poor. After three years
the Minister of Instruction, finding out who
the schoolmsster at Nice was, appointed
him to high official post, and his father
dying about the same time he became the
Duke of Galleira and the owner of immense
wealth. He declined the post, and allowed
his mother to use the fortune without in
reference, content with his position and
income as teacher st Nice.
MrHerbert Spencer Is accustomed to carry
around with him bag of hops, which, when
placed under his head, sometimes has a
soporific effect, and on Saturday, when he
arrived st the Bellevue Hotel in a cab, he
had the hop bag inside with him, and carried
It under his arm into the hotel. 1t is related
as an amusing circumstance that a well
known gentleman, who has been spending
the summer at Newport, went to the depot
to meet Mr.. Spencer, and, looking in vain
for distinguished looking gentlem m, re-
turned to the hotel to find that the very
plain appearing person with the bag was
the great man whom he was trying to
find. Having an aversion to meeting stran-
gers, and being in such poor health besides,
Mr.. Spencer, when one OF his most ardent
admirers came to him with a letter OF in
PRODUCTION, met him with an Indifferent
wave Of the hand aud the nonehalant re-
mark: 'Ah, that's all right" After going
all over the Bellevue Hotel, Mr.. Spencer
picked cut 8 whole suit of rooms, st
SIS day extra, and. chose the rear room
as his sleeping apartment, think
ing he would be able to get a few
winks, His idea in having q suite to him
self was that he might be secluded and IN
disturbed. II seems, however, that Mr..
Spencer could not rest profoundly. On
Sunday he left the hotel to visit George w.
Childs st Wootton, and spent the day there.
It Is one Of Mr.. Spencer's fancies to change
his location often and try different rooms
and beds and situations in the hope Of WOO
ing slumber. His preference is for rooms
very high up and very far back, and having
concluded to try new situation after being
at Mr.. Childs' day, he went to the Aldine
Hotel, where he was given at his own re-
quest a room in the extreme rear Of the |
house, IS far removed from the street as pos
sible. He subsists almost entirely upon dry |
toast and sardines. His health has been so |
bad, and he has found the annoyances Of |
travel so great, that he has abandoned his |
projected Western trip, and VIII return to |
England as soon as he feels well enough to /
undertake the voyage. ftiladsErhia Times.
