circulation of England by more than
l,OOO,O0O francs. In proportion to the
population, there is in France a circula-
tlon OF 10 francs per head in gold, while
III England this per capita circulation is
only IS francs. The decentralization of
silver will not, therefore, force her to in
crease her gold circulation; besides,
France has in Algeria, Tunis and its far
Eastern possessions so many natural out
lets through which her demOnetized silver
would flow, little by little, into the cOun-
tries where there is the most demand for
that medium of circulation. 1t is, there

ence the French delegates will advocate
the formation of 4 new union based on
monometaliSm and with gold as It's none
tary standard. In this they are sure to be
backed up by the representatives of
switzerland and Belgium. A union
formed on such basis would, in all prob
ability, soon draw Austria into its ranks,
and Italy could not afford to hold alOof. If
such a union is not formed, then the con-
terence will come to naught, and the pres
ent Latin Union will cease to exist on

VICTORIA.
a Rather UnfIatterinE Picture OF Eng

From the Ee,o York World.

IRON me 2felO 4 OFH " OFt0.
The Count de Montgelas, an Austrian
Secretary of Legation, who was for long
time in high fashion i'll England and a
good deal behind the scenes, gives a rath-
er unfattering picture of Queen Victoria,
who is now at Darmstadt among her Ger
man relatives. There is, however, much
truth in it. With the exception OF the
Duke of Richmond, who is a blunt, plain
hammered man, there is not one among
the statesmen of the day who would VEN
ture to express his real opinions to her.
Lord BeacOnsfield, by his adroitness, his
patient courtiership, unbounded and eX-
travagant adulatiOn, had overcome the
prejudices with which Prince Albert, who
detested him, inOculated her, and had
won her entire heart and confidence. For
the GladstOnes, both husband and wife,
especially the latter. who is very able
woman, she has an undisguised aversion,
and though, as a matter of form, they
sometimes dine and sleep at Windsor
their relations are strained and chilly.
She is extremely selfish and the lot of her
maids of honor is very hard one. The
demands on their endurance and patience
are continuous. The Warehouses of Ely,
a delightful woman, full of the tenderest
sensibility and sympathy, is often put to
the pain of telling some lady of the court
that her presence is disagreeable and she
must 90. Within the last two years two

THE SILVER PROBLEM.
How it AGects French Finanoes-The
Latin Union.


Latin Union.
Paris Letter to Nea0 Orleans Picausnt.
The monetary conference, which meets
here this month, will probably arrange
the money question to the satisfaction Of
the public. Now there are two sorts Of
money-gold and slver-but there is no
double standard. Silver is the only legal
tender, although coinage Of gold is author
izcd by the law. The Latin Union, con-
sising Of France, Italy, Switzerland,
Belgium, Greece and Roumania, formed
in 1863 for the purpose Of giving the coins
of any OF these nations legal currency in
All the others, is i'm fair way TO be dis
solved. The depreciation of silver and the
TACT that within the limits Of the Union
silver coins had a forced circulation at
par induced these countries in 1877 to
agree to an entire suspension of the coin
age of five franc pieces In that metal.

AVOIDING MILITARY SERVICE.
How the Young Russians Dodge the
COnscript Officers.
From the London Times


Among the many subteriuges employed
to evade military service in Russia none
is more common than that of classifying
the registers of birth. You go to the DO
lice office, and for very moderate sum
the man in charge of the records will
make it appear that your son, who has
lust celebrated his twentieth birthday, is
40 years old, or if he be nearly 81, he
will put him down as being no more than
seven, at your pleasure. So numerous
were these frauds, and so great was the
embarrassment they caused the authOrl-
ties during the first three years after the
PRONUNCIATION of the new law, that in 1870
the Minister of the Interior deemed it eX-
pedient to issue a supplementary regula-
tiOn Offering a prize to the VirtuOus. Ac-
cording to this law any young man whose
register had been falsifled, and who would
come forward aad tell the truth, would be
TecOmpensed by dispensati0n from at
tendance at the drawing, and, therefore,
from military service. This was called
"serYice by supplementary ORDER" and
the tickets given to the VirtuOus young
men who benefited thereby bore no draw
ing number. Counterfeits consequently
ran very little risk Of detection, and were
largely fabricated by the forgers of Ana
nief, who issued in all about 400 tickets,
some bearing false numbers, others, as
Just explained, bearing none. Similar
companies were, little by little. organized
in other towns, at Slutzk. Kamenetz,
Podolsk, Mohileff, Berditchetf, and
in some half-dOzen places in Lithua-
mia. All these companies were in rela-
ton with each other, arranged exchanges
of clients, and worked together for their
mutual advantage.

The Only Fighting Apostle.

1t is we'll known that the late Elias
Howe, Jr., the inventor of the sewing
machine, not only enlisted as a common
soldier in the ranks of the 18th Con-
nectieut Regiment, carried a musket
and did full military duty during the
war, but at certain iuncture when Ma
tional finances were at q low ebb, he
paid soldiers OF the regiment their wages
for three months out of his own pocket.
Relative to this incident, P. Il. Barnum
tod the following story:
While Mr.. Howe was counting out
the money referred to, a stranger who
was clergyman entered the tent and
said he had heard OF Mr.. Howe's liber-
ality and had called to ask him to con-
tribute toward building church for his
congregation.
"Church, church." said Mr.. Howe,
without looking up from the bills which
he was counting. Building churches
in war times when so much is needed

.'st. Peters Church." replied the
clergyman.
"Oh. St. Peters," said Mr.. Howe.
"Well, st. Peter was the only fighting
apostle-he cut the mans ear off. I'll
go $500 on st. Peter, but am spending
most of my money on salt-petre now.

He Secured the Interest.

A few years before the war the late
Commodore Garrison, of New York,
purchased with Commodore Vanderbilt
a majority of the stock of the line now
known as the Pacific Mail. The part
ners disagreed, and each wanted to buy
the other out. At last Commodore
Garrison received an offer OF several
millions from Vanderbilt. Garrison ac-
cepted, and Vanderbilt paid him in
notes. After the notes had run for some
time MIR. Thorne, Vanderbilt's son-ln-
law, went to Garrison and said that
Vanderbilt did not want to be paying IN
terest any longer, and offered to settle
for the full amount. This was accepted,
Vanderbilt sending around check for
the principal. Commodore Garrison
put it in his pocket, and walked to Van
derbilt's office, 8 Bowling Green.
"Look here, Vanderbilt" he said,
striking the check against the palm OF
his hand, 81 want the interest on this
money"
"Do you ?" replied Vanderbilt.
"What will you do if you don't get ii?
"DoP; I'll show you what L will
do" replied Garrison, closing the door
and locking it.
No one knew what passed, but ten
minutes afterward Garrison emerged
from the door of No. 8 bearing check
for the full amoLns, principal and in
terest. Neither Of the Commodoref
could ever be prevailed on to disclose
the secret of that interview.

LADIES AS BOOKKEEPERS.
They Figure Out just Exactly What
Costs a Married Couple to Live.
from the New York Times.1

Young men desiring inexpensive wives
will do we'll to proceed Immediately to
Rochester, N. H., where they will find
what bagman would call 'tfull line"
of manageable girls at prices that defy
competition.
The young men of Rochester, like
other New England young men, are
not inclined to marry New England
girls. Whatever may be the real rea-
sons for this abstinence from marriage,
the Rochester young men recently
claimed exemption from matrimony on
the ground that they could not afford
to support wives. In so doing they did
not remember that the New England
girl is reasoning being, endowed with
knowledge of arithmetic and capable
of making estimates. The Rochester
girls met together and drew up scheme
setting forth the proper household ex-
penses of family of six-that being,
in their opinion, the very largest family
compatible with decency and order.
They estimated that such family could
be comfortably supported on 1853 per
annum, with an additional allowance to
the wife of $50 per annum for her ward
robe. Copies of this scheme were made
and sent to all the unmarried young
men of Rochester, and the latter can
no longer pretend that they cannot af-
ford to marry.
It is barely probable that the total
sum of $548 would suffice to pay the
personal expenses of husband in addi.
tion to all the other family expenses.
The Rochester young ladies have, it is
understood, estimated that mans
clothing ought to cost him not more
than $50 year, and that $3.50 will
supply him with all the cigars that he
can possibly smoke. There is probably
an error here. Only 300 cigars at p
cents each could be bought for $3.50,
and few men would be content with one
cigar every week day. The average
New Hampshire husband may be ex-
pected to smoke at least $14 worth of
cigars annually, and in most cases $50
would not more than pay the cost of his
clothes.
If we increase the estimate in accord
ance with these figures we shall find
that family of six can live in Rochester,
N. H., for about $575 year. There
can be no mistake about this, for the
Rochester young ladies have demon
strated it on paper. If the Rochester
young men know what is best for them
selves they will marry Rochester girls
without a moments delay, for as soon
as it is known that desirable wives can
be had in Rochester at such ridicu-
lously cheap rate, the town will be in
vaded by hundreds of appreciative men.
No such inducements to marry have ever
hitherto been offered, and if the Ro-
chester girls are made of good materials
they constitute the cheapest investment
ever offered to the public.
