Two years ago vessels coming into New Yorktold of sailing through miles and miles of dead fish.

Coins, Old and New. • France has just admitted into fellowship the latest addition to the great family of European coins. For many years the Swiss republio transacted *hi 00031110r0e With itS own paper and with the gold of other nations. There had, indeed, been an issue tit 20 franc pieces, but that is now a long time ago, the number ot coins put forth was very trifling, and the experiment .was so unsucoessful that they were forth- with recalled. The die was °Imlay and easily and immediately imitated by French miners. A new issue has long been called for, and it ie this which France has legal- ized as a tender for the value which it beam. The coin cannot be called a success. In the ease of kingdoms or empires the the nuinieroatiet has not much 000p0 for independent design., The head of the reigning , sovereign • nee:meanly 000upies 'one surface. The execution., of comae, varies with the ekill of the en- graver. Probably the two handeomest modern 'coins are the sovereign of George IV. and the 40-frano piece of Napoleon the Great, with the' legend describing him as • king et Italy. But where the fancy of the artist is allowed scope the reetitt-io more interesting. Thus the gulden and • teeter of Frankfort when it was still a free town had a very beautifui female head, a ortrait of the actress Jananachek,slightly ii idealized. The new SwiS minis singu- larly commonplace.

The other aide has the Swisa .05088, with dateand value, surrounded by a garland. The new piece is an addition, but not An ornarhent, to the gold coinage of Europe.—Peat Mail Gazette.

The Responsibilitie s of Parenthood. And that care of others in this ease (i. within the family) it: not only ma:antral to the development of life and its IllinesS, but also to the happiness of self, will be clear if we ooneider the matter with the least Mediation. For the altruistic nature shown in -the care of ohildren is inherited by ohil- dren and developed in them by shah care. Hence, as Mr. Spencer well notes, there resultiesuch conduct on the part children as "makes , parenthood 'a blessing." Of the parents of children inheriting suoli naturee and so reared, it may be mid that, even in our days (to whioh the saying of the Hebrew Psalmist was not, I suppose, in- tended origineely ' to apply), the man is blessed that heat his quiver fullof them. On the contrary, where the parents and therefore probably the children ' are of selfish nature and the examPle. eet the children le uothsly egotistio,, parenthood is no blaming, and may well become a source of misery. What happens in this case? asks the philosopher . whose treatment of the scientificaspect of duty we are following.
