Coin Circulation In France.

A count was made the 28th Of May
last of the money received in the course
Of the business in the various govern
ment offices of France for week. The
result, which has been recently tahu-
lated and published, furnishes some in
teresting information.
The total of the money counted was
about Sl0,500,000. This was made up
of 100000 fir. Bank of Franck
notes and 81, 800, coo in coin. OF the
coin. 10 per cent, or about S2,450.000,
was gold, and 30 per cent. or $780,
600, silver. 4 similar count made in
1878 showed that Of 100000 coin eX-
amined. 751 per cent. was gold and
24k per cent. silver.
1t thus appears that, notwithstand-
ing the depreciation of silver bullion
relatively to gold bullion since 1873,
the circulation of gold coin in France
relatively to that of silver coin has
undergone very little change. There
certainly has been nothing like with
drawal and boarding Of gold. though
gold coin of full weight has frequently
commanded a premium over silver OF
from J to II per cent.
The consideration of this plain fact
ought to dispel the fears of an impend-
ing crisis arising from the coinage OF
silver dollars.-Net0 York Sun.

Here is a curiosity. 1t is a case con-
tanning the hair of all the Presidents.
from the fine gray lock of George
Washington down to the semi-blonde
one of Garfield This case shows that
the color of mans hair is no sign as
to his presidential success. jefferson
had red hair, and we are told that he
was freckled. John Adams wore
wig, and his son, John Quincy Adams,
had the baldest head which ever rested
on the pillows of the White House
Martin Van Buren, was also slightly
bald, but his badness came more to the
front of his head than Cleveland S.
Van Buren's hair was beautifully wavy,
and he combed it well back from the
side of his face While he was Presi-
dent he wore it short, and it had be-
come quite gray. Some of jefferson 5
portraits represent him with his hair
banged in front, and coming down over
his forehead in the style OF the dude of

sons hair stood up all over his head as
straight and stiff as the quilts of por
cupine, but all are not aware that he
was as gray as a badger during his
Presidential term, and that his hair
was as fine as the thinnest strands of
spun silver. John Tyler was also
tine-haired. and he was a very fine
| looking man. William Henry Harrison
combed his hair well to the front of
his ears, and he was gray at
the time he was elected Frank Pierce
had thick, curly hair, which fell down
upon his forehead, and James Buchan-
an kept his gray head well trimmed,
cOmbing his hair so as to show to the
full his high, open brow. Polk pat
termed after jackson in combing his
hair straight back with hardly a part,
and both Fillmore and Taylor parted
their hair on the left side OF the head.
while Frank Pierce parted his boldly
on the right. President Arthur had
dark hair, which was growing gray
when he left the White House. He
kept it well c0mbed back from his face
and wore ii short. President Lincoln
did not pay much attention to his hair,
and most of bis pictures represent it as
rather long 1t was dark and straight
President Cleveland hair is brown
and thin. He wears it short and
combs it up from his forehead as
though he wished to increase the size
of that part of his face His head is
bald at the crews, and the badness is
daily increasing, though he plasters
his hair over it in vain attempt to
hide it.-Carp, in C}eeeiand Leader,

Now that every body is talking of
Prince Alexander of Bulgaria, it may
be of interest to note that this maternal
grandfather, Count Hauck, was man
of very obscure parentage. Sixty
years ago. Hauk entered the servicet
Count Bruhl, the head Of the museum
at Dresden, as copying clerk. After
few months he went to Warsaw, and
though man of no particular attain
ments, started small paper devoted
to military matters. This brought him
under the notice Of the t4rand Duke
Constantine, who was then Governor
of Warsaw, and gave his son com
n ission in the Russian army. With
such patronage young Hauck, though
Of small education, was rapidly adj
vanced, and a few years after was
raised to the rank of Colonel and
created Count. 1t is a mystery even
now what services he rendered to the
Grand Duke to entitle him to such
exceptional favors. However, he did
not euioy his good fortune long, as
the Polish instruction OF 1880 he was
among the first victims, being shot
deaf IS he was on the point Of leaving
his house. Hauck services to the
Grand Duke seem to have been OF such
special character that after his death
his daughter was brought mp at the
expense of the Russian Government
by the influence of her father late
patron. When hardly out OF her teens
she made the acquaintance OF Prince

The second Republican senatorial caucus
was held on the 5th inst, and Senator
John Sherman was nominated for Presi-
dent of the Senate with only four dissent
iug votes. Riddleberger of Virginia, and
Morrill, of Vermont, were two of the mega

Gratis, as matter of form, held a caucus
aud nominated Senator Harris of Tonnes

The Democrats of the House also held a

again. The Republicans in caucus nomi-
mated Thos. B. Reed of Maine for Speaker.

The Republican senatorial caucus hav
ing decided to reintroduce the Hoar bill
relative to the presidential su cession, its
speedy passage through both houses seems
probable. 1t confers the succession to the
president and vice president, upon the sec
rotary of state, or if that office is vacant
then upon the secretary of the treasury,
the succession passing to the other mem
bers Of the cabinet in turns in cases of va
cancy. The electoral count bill also TO be
reintroduced by order of the Republican

a provision that each state may by its own

New Marriage Law in Pennsylvanla.

According to the Philadelphia Times
ION and after the first day of October
last no persons can he joined in mar
riage in Pennsylvania without first OBJ
tanning license from the clerk of the
Orphans Court of the county in which
the marriage is to take place, aud any
minister or Officer who shall marry
persons without saon license will be
fined SlGG. Minors can be married
Under the new law by filing the con-
sent of their parents or guardians with
the clerk Of tue court, property ac-
knOwledged before $ notary or other
officer. which will warrant the issue of
the necessary license. Informal mar
riages may be entered into under the
agreement of parties, but all such mar
riages must be first authorized by Ii
oense issued on application of the
parties to the contract.
This is great advance upon the laws
which prevail in most of the States,
and we wish that the example might
be extensively followed. 1t would pre-
vent many hassy aud ill-advised mar
riages, and could not fail to give
greater sacredness, and, we trust, great
er permanence to the relation. There
seems, however, to be defect IN this
new law in Pennsylvania. The paper
from WHOM we have quoted above says:
1T is claimed by some that, as the
new law has no nullity clause, parties
may contract informal marriages after
the 1st Of October as now and hereto
fore. and that they will be legal AID
bindipg," but 1t adds; ut is possible
that the new law may be so Construed,
but the Supreme Court of several states
have construed like laws against the
validity of such marriages, and there
will be safety only in the strict bser-
vance of the new statute. We can
see no good reason for not having the
laws on this subject as explicit and
rigid as those relating to any other
matter involving the highest interests
of society, and We hope the time will
soon come when they will be carefully
revised
