Cautions French Capitalists.

The Paris correspondent ofthe London
Times writes: "A phenomenon is now OBJ
servsble in France which is occupying the
attention of financial circles. New specu-
lationS and new investments have become
impossible. In vain are the walls placard-
ed with prospectuses OF the most promising
Undertakings; people refuse to intrast their
Swings to them. The leading banks hns
the public deaf to their appeals, howe' er
honorable and advantageous their oilers;
and not long ago a railway company of ex-
cellent credit made q i~ruitless attemptto IS
sue ~deotutures the sounduess Of which was
i~ndisputable. The crash caused By the col
lapse Of the Union Generate has implanted
in the French mind a distrust OF all new
undertakings and Bourse securities. Dur
ing the two previous years there had been
a universal mania for speculation, When
the crash came it appeared that scarcely
any of the undertakings had succeeded; and
even the best. planned ones. If they escaped
death, have since merely vegetated.

Eating Horse Flesh in Paris

During the siege OF Paris hipPophsgy
was a matter OF necessity; indeed, toward
the closing months horse meat had become
a luxury u~nartainable by the vast mass OF
the population. Since 1871 the consump-
ton Of horse flesh mas gone on steadily in
crossing. In 1874 the number Of horses
slaughtered for food in Paris was 1862.
Ten years later the consumption had more
than doubled. In 1883 Paris ale 9,lS5
horses, 3G7 asses and 10 mules, or not tar
short OF FIVE million pounds weight Of horse,
ass and mule meat. The explanation Of
this is, Of course, the high price of beef and
mutton in the French capital While the
artisan can purchase a horse steak at less
than ~sixpence q pound, he has to pay three
times as much for a cut Of beef or mutton.
Among the hippOphsgists Of Paris, the flesh
of the ass and the mule is esteemed even
more highly than that Of the horse, those
delicacies fetching a price 10 to 20 PEI cent

Not Good ut Conundrums.

His heart was full Of a burning desire to
say something not only complimentary but
brilliantly suggestive, so after revolving the
matter IN his mind during q ten minute
burst Of silence he said, gazing into the
cracking FIRE:
"Ah, Miss Euniee, why is the andiron so
IKE myselfY'
And Miss Eunice, looking so solemnly de-
mure that the clock stopped, said that she
didn't know unless it was because it had a
brass head.
He was cropping blindly for the front
door before she could catch her breath, and
it didn't appear TO relieve him a bit when
she followed him down the hall TO tell bin
that she wasn't good at conundrums any
how. He only went out into the starlight
and held his t~hrobbing temples By the bits,
and wished that he had died when he was a
LAUGHING, innocent babe.

THE STEEL NAIL.


The steel nail appears to be making head
way Notwithstanding the prejudice against
II. Mr.. SAN'L WILLIAMS. a prominent mill
wright Of Martins Ferry, called the REGiS-
rER's atteu6oL to the set he had been using
all sizes of steel nails in the past four weeks
in both soft and hard woods, and it vas his
conviction they were bound to replace the
iron nail He further said: He had been
opposed to the introduction Of the steel nail
at first, because he thought they were get
ting along well enough with the old nail. 1t
did its work and there was no need OF
the change. But since the change
has come everybody will gradually
take to using it. Who so? was asked. Be
cause Of its superior durability and cheap
ness, he responded. Then it drives as well
and works as well as the iron nail. You
can knock the head Of, to be sure, be con-
tinued. and so can you from of the iron
nail, but in that respect he had expert
enced no trouble. Mr.. Williams spoke Of
this dissimilarity in the two nails The
iron nail when struck readily breaks of at
the point when driven through the board
or plank, but the steel nail requires three
ticks, viz: Forward and backward and then
forward again. The second whack is sure
to bend it Just above where it bent with the
6rssj stroke, thus forming a kink. The
third knock, however, fetches it every time.
The REGISTER would like to publish other
practical carpenters experience with the
steel nal, for if it be a success, its cheap
ness and durability are destined to give it
the prestige over all other competitors.

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded

A serious affair occurred on board the
British naval ship Northumberland, at
Plymouth in England, the other day. Three
young mid-shipmen, in frOlicsome mood,
engaged in a mock duel, ranging them
selves in triangle and swapping their pistols
at each other. Uahspply q chamber Of
the revolver handled by one of them was,
unknown to him, loaded with ball cartridge.
The shot when fired, entered the face of his
antagonist, trayersing his upper lip aud
nose. Owing to the direction Of the shot
the wound is unlikely to cause any worse
consequences than permanent dis6gure-
ment.

would be the duty of every good
citizen to oppose most strenuously,
any political party, which should
attempt the defence of the mon
ometallic policy. And the people
of the sonth or west, whose inter
csts in this matter are identi al,
and whose opinions are conse-
quently in accord, should see
to it, that no man of either po-
litical faith, receives their support
for any representative position,
who is not thoroughly and openly
in accord with them upon this, the
most important issue of the hour.
Until this question is settled, pro-
lection and revenue reform are Of
secondary Importance. If the
people were defeated in the con-
fict, the scenes of 1878 would be
repeated, and we should have nei-
ther trace to protect, or surplus
revenue to dispose of.
