The Irish legisla- tive body can contione for five years and no linger from the day on winch it is ap- pointed to meet. The Executive Government of Ireland is te ;continue voted in Her Mejesty and to be carried on by the Lord Lieutenant in behalf gif Her Majesty. The nintb clause of the bill relating to 'the constitution of the Irish Legislative hody says it ehall consist of a fitst and second order, but instead of providing that the -orders shall deliberate together as in the bill of 1886, it providea that they shall sit and vote separately, thus constituting two distinct houses of the Legienature. If the result of the veiling brings the two enders into collision, than the questicn at 3seue is to be referred to e joint committee tof both Houses. If the queetion still re. mains 'undecided through inability to agree, then the questiora at issue may be referred to the people. The new bill thus provides :tor a popular referendum he tenth clause, Perliamentary repre- sentation, provides Substantially the same as in 1886. An importatit new clause pro- -widest that 103 members of the Imperial :Parliament shall be Mooted by the existing sonstituenclee. These members shall vote on all questions reserved by the Imperial Parliament, from the Irish Legielative body, and may also sit in the huh Legislative hotly if elected t'nereto, as vvell as in the Imperial Parliament. The annual contribution of Ireland on inecount of the natienal debt is reduced to 733000; army and navy, £833 000; Im- perial civil expenditures; £55 000; Royal Intel Constabulary and Dublin Metropolitan ostilice, £500,000 ; for reduetim of the mational debn £180,000. These are great ereductione from the bill of 1886. Duties of customs and duties of excise col- lected in Ireland are to be applied to Irish ,aliargea, and any mem applied as part of the public revenues under control of the. .1ritah Government. 1 he Irish Land Com- mission is to remain in exiatence until all seharges payable out of the &ninth pcoperty etimIxeland and guaranteed by the treasury are fully paid.

Lsoe paper valentines have long been not the proper thing, and the delicate satin traernentoes have about become a thing of tbe past too. This year, it is said, flowers will be substituted to some extent by those who feel that in some way they must give vent to their tender sentiments. As to the small boy and the COlEate valentine, fashion's dictum doesn't have much influence. If the small boy bas a grudge and be can find the valentine it's goirg to be aent, fashion or no fashion. However, it is pleasing to know that the day et the comic valentine is on the wane, and the postmen are not likely to be weighted down with them this February. As flowers won't fit the smell boy's case, he is likely toelet the day pass unheated. We sketch that haa recently been printed of a living literary man, says the Sun, we are told that "it is his custom to write about 6,000 words every day." There is no man in tbto world who can write every day 6,000 words that are worth reading, or one.half that number. For a good solid day's work of a man of thought and know - lege, 1,000 words are sufficient ; and if on any one day he writes twice that number he should take a rest the next day. We are not talking of cepyists or ahorthand reporters, but of men who think with all their soul as they write with all their power. The fast-writirog author whose biography lies before us is sometimes seized with the scribbler's mania, and, while it lasts he eurpasses, on a long stretch, his oklinary daily record of 6,000 words. A short while ago he knooked off in 25 days a book containing 150 000 words; and, as he wrote on the eight-hour system, be must have thought and written 750 words every hour of hir; working day, right straight along, or at the rate of about thirteen words a minute. We are disposed to guess that tine' author's literary velem, remarkable as it is, might be enlarged if he had some experience of the writer a cramp. Count von Caprivi is an agreeable and lively sort of consoler. In urging the pas- sage of the German Army Bill the Count told the legislators that in the next war with ' France Germany will need a large army. The French, he said, will form several armies al•(;e1 advance on their old territory from different points. The strategy of the Germans will then be offensive. lf they should be victorious the French army would fall back on Paris and rely upon its fortresses. Count von Caprivi mapped out a pretty good fighting campaign forhis countrymen. They would be compelled to invest three fortresses, ani for this would need three divisions. Then they would have to capture some of the barring forts, which would require siege artillery. After doing thie, in a week or so the Ger- man armies would have to cross the Meuse, in full view of the enemy. They would then proceed to .encircle Paris and to take the city by front attack. For all this they would require large numbers of troops. What a aplendid outlook this is for the German people. What glory -and what wounds -they would win! How many pro- motions -and widows -would be made. What crosses of honor -and wooden lege- the German soldiers would possess after the war. How many thousands and tens of thousands would be promoted, if not to commands, heaven. 'What a number of names of heroes would be written in general orders, and what a vastly greater number would be inscribed on tombstones. The woman with a loving heart is sure to look upon the bright side of life, and by her example induct s others) to do no. She sees a good reason for all the unwelcome events which ode' s call bad luck. She be- lieves in silver lining, and likes to point them out to others. A week of rain or f an avalanche of unexpected gueets, a dis- honest eervant, an unbecoming bonnet, or any other of the thousand minor inflictions of every -day life, have to power to disturb the deem calm of her soul. The love light is still in her eyes, whether the days be dark or bright. Ie is sho who- conquers the grim old uncle and the dyspeptic aunt.

The total expenditure o the looal government of Loudon for the *tear 1889.90 was 410,- 726,000, or as much as an Australia' eolooy. This was equal to 220 10s. 8d. Per heed of population. This is mei by, the rate tax Imperial taxatioo and sundry receip4. The rates were levied upon a retable value of £31 586,000, so that the amount, per £1 was 6a. 9d., but the rate payer only peid 4. 100. of this amount, The central rates fell equally upon all tbe paddle, but the rates or perish purposes are very unecpusl, ranging from 3a. 91d, down to le. 0.11. Included in the total rateble value of Lender' aee the following items : Railways, ,21 832000; gas and electric light mains £735,000; water mains, £446,000; hydrau. lin, trlegraph and otherpipes and wires, 123.000 ; land, £66,000 ; total, £3,102,000. For Imperial and locel purposes combined London pays in taxation approximately £17,000,000.The inland revenue rotate) show that the total incrimes earned in Lon don amount to £123,513,000, eo that the burden of taxation amounts to 14 per cent. The balence of the loans outstanding at the end of 1891 was £48,032,000. On January 1st, 1891, the pampas numbered 112 547, and the cost of peuperiem was in 1889 '90 riM.340,000, the cost of each pauper being £21 lfis ld. The number of persona cern- mated for trial during 1889 '90 was 2,9001 while 109,748 were convicted summarily. The habitual offenders known to the police, not committed during the year, numbered 2,392 The total represents a percentage of 27 to the whole population. The cest of the police was £1,799,000, or £15 12a 9d. per head of the incriminated class. Indus- trial schools cost £'2..0,652. In tbe schools of the metropolis the pupils numbered in 1890 91, 652,354 ; the total cost of the Board sohools was 1'1,560,000, of which £1,272,000 was thrown on local rates. The death rate in London in 1891 was 21.4 per 1,000 of the population, which compares favorably with other large towns, Liverpool rieireg as high as 27 per 3,000. The open spaces in London, without reckoning the disused burial ground, extend to 5,449 acres. Besides there are epen spaces on its borders ihioh bring up the total of parks accessible to Londoners to 22 000 acres. The fires in the metropolis in 1891 numbered 2,892, of which 193 were serious.

A Rochester rnan certainly deserves to have his name written among the bene- factors of the race. He has invented self - patching jackets and trousers, and his idea is mid to work. admirably in practice, says the Albany Argus, The scheme is a simple one, but so are hundreds of inventions that have brought fame and fortune to their origivaters. The cloth is of double thick - nese where most of the wear comes, the pattern being carefully adjusted so asi to coincide in each piece. When the outer covering wears through only the rosig edges have to be darned in, and the pattern and cloth remain intact. The an in whose mind this great idea developed has other fields to conquer. Self -adjustable shoe and euepender buttons are the natural accom- paniments to self -darning clothing. When these are forthcoming, perhaps we can spare the woman for politics. Of Course Not.

That we are upon the eve of another serious shaking of the Republic is the one thing that can be clearly seen through the fog. The hour is coining ; it is time to peer anxiously through the mist to diecern, it we can, the man. So far as appears to the eye of the foreign observer there is no nutra ready for the place. Themoliticians, pure &rad simple, ate all hannlees, save to them. selves. If tfLei overthrew tbe Republic, they could put nothing in its place, not even themselves. The Royalists are beaten and dejeeted and lack resolute leadership, and Bonapartism is in little better case. The saviour of society, when he comae, will, depend upon it, be a soldier onoe more. THE COUNTRY IN A GLORIOUS MUDDLE. France is certainly in a bad way just now, and those who have croaked so much about the commercial immorality of the throe of the Second Empire, and the politi- cal rottenness of those times, would do weil to ask if the present state of affairs, judged by reeent events, is a form of Government more conducive to morality. There have certainly never in the history of the country been so many awful financial disastern as during the present regime, and merely to jot down frona memory the biggest smashes: The Mobilier Espagnon the Banque Euro- peenne, the TranEcontinent al Memphis, the Union Generale, the Credit de France, the Societe dos Metaux the Comptes Contents, and now finally Vanama. What a list! Millions sterling lest, and some of the best MIMS in the financial and political and foetal world of Europe dragged into tbe Matter. Dining the twenty years of the Second Empire there was certainly no such a series of terrible financial catastrophes to chron- icle. What will be the end of all this? That is the question. If there were any possible or in any way acceptable Pretender -if instead a tbe Comte de Paris it were bis brother, the Due de Chartres ; instead of Prince Victor it were his brother Louis - there might be a possibility either of a. monarchy or an empire. ft,Vt.1.47D'OR1iEANS TAIMS ',ERE RUNNING. Witt view of contingencies the Count de Paris has recalled the Duke of Orleans from his famaway travels. lf the Count really wants to be King of the French he surely presents the most marvellous illus- tration of the triumph of hope over ex- perience on record. Louis Napoleon was a needy adventurer, and had everything to gain and nothing to lose by aiming at the throne, but the Count de Paris enjoys every possible social and material advantage the world can give, and if he is an exile he is so only through his excessive impudence. Yet this Prince with the fate, not merely of Louis the Six- teenth before his eyes, hut with the experi- ence of Charles X., of his own grandfather, Louis Phillippe, is credited with the desire to exchange his prevent advantages for the throne of a country in which his family have as Sovereigns proved utter failures thrice in a century) and which even a man with the pre-eminent genius of the first Napoleon could not retain. MOULANGER FIVE YEARS TOO TREVIOITS. It would not surprise anybody to wake up some fine morning and find that France was in the midst of another revolution. Now would have been the moment for Boulanger. Had he been alive at the present moment he might have brushed M. Carnet out of the presidency without any trouble whatsoever. But, unfortunately for himself, and the cause which he professed to have at heart, Boulanger lived five years too soon. In 1888 people were not ready for him; todlay they seem to be looking all round for some man possessed of the strength of mind to put himself at the head of affairs.

The receipts have declined with alarming rapidity for three moths, and the proprietors -one of whom is the Prince of Monaco himself, despite the repeated assertions to the contrary -have determined upon a coup.

For tbe first time in twenty-five years there are signs that the self respect of Europe is revolting against the Monaco garning-hell.

The young Duo &Amin, who was married, the other day to Mdlle. Yolande de Invites is a very notable young gentleman, mite apart from his exalted social position, and the tact of hie being the happy posses - tor of a pretty chateau, Chemplatreoux, near Beauvais. By this marriage two of the most ancient houses ha France are united. The late Duo de Luynes was killed diming the Franco-Prussian war'and left his wife a youvg widow at 20. After his death a number of unpleasant rumors arose concerning his want of courage, some people asserting that the deceased duke never saw fire. His widow was moat indignant, and to prove that these malicious reports were false, she had the dead body of her hus- band exhumed and exposed for public view in the Chateau of Dampierre, so that every- one might see the wounds he had received in that disastrous war. The Materiel is one of the most pleasant old castles which exist in France ; it stands back some half a mile from the road and was built in the sixteenth century by the Cardinal de Lorraine. At present it is one of the sights of the neigh- borhood, although the exterior is stiff and badly built. A COMING SCANDAL. tsf An amusing proces is looming on the horizon of the law courts that -all :praise be rendered to the erratic doings of society -are made tolerably interesting. Of course a woman has much to account for in the matter. The quarrel has taken place be- tween a celebrated vinter and a foreign prince. This alien potentate, glowing a year or so ago with the "master passion" at the questionable shrine of a certain Francine Denney contracted the habit of buying anything that reminded him of her sweet self. That's why on one afternoon on entering the studio of a distinguished friend, he purchased for $10,000 a, certain little tableau de genre depicting a cosy "five- o'clock " given by a fair member of the Opera House to eight of her charming acquaintances, among whom figured his lateet flame. Since that happy day the prince's so-called love has gone the way of all eartbly things, and the promise that he gave the artiet to the effect, that he would send him later en a cheque in payment of the painting has not been performed The painter is consequently grinding Isis teeth, and has commenced law proceedirge, vowing he will teach the amorous prince a good bard lesson. mon MOTORS AT THE MOULIN Rouen.

She is seconded by two other little jumping devilkins, Miss Cupidon and Miss Crieri, with movements as rapid as quicksilver. In spite of Panama scandals and political earthquakes the Moulin is full to overflow. ing every night. With a resolution of the cholera staring him in the face on the mor- row the truc Parisian will have his fun overnight, and there is no place he loves so well as the fast variety theatre witht its army of sirens and high -kickers. MC MARQUISE AND THE MoornetAre Few society women possessed the same generosity as the late Marquise de Blocqueville, who in order that many of the guests who once graced her inimitable salons should benefit by her departure into Elysium, has remembered three hundred friend in her will, leavieg them rare bits of poroelain, quaint bibelots, and of course valoable pieces of furniture. The Marquiee founded some years ago the Musee Devon at Austerre, to which museum the has willed the best of her earthly goods. The late Cardinal. Lavigene, when he was Bishop of Nancy, tells a charming little anecdote of the Marqnise. He was invited o spend the evening, and about 10 o'clock guests began to arrive for a dance, those of the fair erx hebited in their most elegant decollete ball dresses. The good Lavigerie looked at their lavieh display of feminine charms, and then got up, to take leave of his hostess. Already 1 Oh, pray don't leave us so early 1" she protested '• but the bishop said archly, &arming the ladies' toilettes : " Que voulez-vous, Madam la Iklarguise ? On me Masse par les epaules !" ("I am being put out by the shoulders 1") " Oh, Loviae 1" exclaimed MISS Wall flower, " what do you think ?" "What is it ?" asked Miss WallilowerM dearest friend.
