that may be taken, with til. object of Sc
curing to France the guarantees to which
she is entitled. A conference of minis

additional measures shall he taken to
insure the obtaining Of guarantees from
Siam. The French government is max
ing arrangements with another govern
ment for the protection of French sub
jects in Siam during the absence from
Bangkok of NJ. Pavie, the French min
lister.
The blockade of the Siamese coast
will become effective on Thursday or
Friday next. The Liberte says that the
French gunboats will move down the
river, shell and destroy the Pa'iham
forts, and then return to their positions
before Bangkok to lombard the palace.

an Atlantic cable which he had on
board for repairs the following steam
ers bound westward, viz: Manhattan
and q Red Star steamer; also the Paris,
Of the American line, and the Mohawk,
Of the American Transport line, in the
same position. Capt. Trott was the
first to introduce the most acceptable
method of making known the where
abouts Of steamships, and has reported
steamers in mid-ocean on several Oc-
casions, a service which was much ap-
preciated by both the owners of the
vessels reported and the friends of the
passengers.

The Unit Of Valuation IL a Cow.

In the present publication of the I'm
perial Geographical Society of Russia is
the surprising announcement that the
Chewsures-a race of 1000 people-in
the department of Troust, government Of
Tifis, know nothing of the use Of money
as a medium of exchange. The unit Of
valuation among the primitive people
is a COW. A horse is valued at three
cows and a stallion at six. If 4 Chew
sure becomes enraged and cracks his
neighbours skull he is obliged to pay six
teen cows. If he breaks a bone Of his
neighbours arm five cows will rehabilitate
him in the eyes of society. a wound in
the forehead calls for three calves. If
one cuts another in the part of the face
usually covered by the beard the punish
mcnt is comparatively severe. The doc
tor places as many grains of wheat
along the cut as possible. For each grain
of wheat so used the criminal must give
up a COW. Wounds in the beardless part
of the face call for one-third as many
cows only. The man who Injuries Il neigh
boris hand s%urrenders sixteen cows.
Thirty cows even will pay for the loss of
an eye: The people are said to be happy
and %contented. No misers exist among
them.-Chicago Tribune.

POOR PEOPLE LOSE.

Chicago, July 25.-Bradford & Church,
Dearborn street bankers, have closed
their institution without ever posting q
notice. Their whereabouts seem to be
known only to themselves. The deposits
are said to aggregate between $4,000
and $4,000. The firm started banking
after a successful land speculation at
Tolleston, Ind. The first thing they then
did after having a bank sign printed was
to distribute several thousand small iron
banks among the poor people of Chicago.
The banks could be opened only by the
Bradforls. From day to day he that
was unfortunate enough to possess one
of these little chests dropped in his pen
MES and nickels, and when he had il
filled he would bring it to the bank,
where the contents were most carefully
removed and credited ton the depositor.
