 The Comtesse de Paris has formed Laagus of the Rose, royalist union, and this is the programme: The Rose of France is a league which has for its objects the re-establishment of monarchy and the defense of Conservative interests. The league proposes to include in its ranks men and women belonging to all classes of society, without distinction of wor- ship or creed ,and to unite them in friendly association for defending in common Con- seryative interests against Radicalisn, re- ligious liberty against persecution, the right of fathers of families to educate their chil- dren freely, the interests of labor and those of property. The monarchy, traditional in it's principle, modern in it's institutions, will guarantee these interests and these rights at the same time that it will secure the material and moral progress of the people. Women of France, you can do much for this league. It involves your most cherished convictions, and the future of your children. Laber for them, for the monarchy, for France. The league has as its emblem the rose of France.
 Somebody has discovered foreshadowing of MT. Edison's photograph in fairy story written by Miss Jean Ingelew fifteen years or more ago. The passage runs thus: t'He be l.. sk@ -l.k 1Ivr. great invention in acoustics, which, he said Confusing his century with mine), You are going to find out very shortly. You know something of the simple beginnings of photographya' I replied that did. Pho tography,' he remarked, presents visible image; cannot you imagine something analo- gous to it which might present an audible of photograph is always present to the eye, but the acousticgraph only in successive DOT tionS. The song was sung and the symphony played at first, and it recorded them and gave them out in one simultaneous horrible crash; then, when we had once got them fixed, sci- ence soon managed as it were to sketch the image-and now we can elongate it as much as we please This is very queer,' I exs claimed. Do you mean to tell me these notes and these voices are only the ghosts of soundsi Not in any other senss,' he an swered, 'than you might call photograph the ghost of sight"
 By comparison of the appropriation bills passed at this session of Congress with the revenue for the year, as indicated by the re ceipts for the first quarter now complete, the New York Sun discovers that the surplus fol the current yeor will not exceed five or six millions. The appropriation bills already signed or ready for the President's signature and doubtless to be signed, aggregate about $S06, ,000, ,000. The permanent appropriation: or fixed charges increase the expenditure fol the year to $422, 100000. The revenues fol the year were estimated by the treasury de partment at $3S3, ,000, ,000, but the receipts for the first quarter are much less than those for the first quarter of last year, and indicate that the estimate of the secretary of thu treasury was excessive, and that the ordinary revenue for the year will not exceed $370, 000, ,000. The postal revenues, estimated a at $57, ,OOo, ,000, would increase the receipt
 for the year to $427, ,000. 900. and the surplu | would be about five millions. The reasol ! why this surplus is likely to be 50 muel
 smaller than was anticipated, is that the sp propriations exceed the treasury estimates b. four millions, and are fifty.six millions in ex cess of the appropriations for last year.
