French political tenonomist ria ec Black, has taken a comprehensive iew of the financial depression in Eu ope •and refers to Great Britain. He t inks the country woist off is Engl ndf though, owing to its vigorous constitu tion, it will be able to overcome its dif- ficulties, but not without strenuous ef- forts. He calls attention to the great decrease of exports and the increase of imports. The United.' Kingdom sells much less of its products now than fere merry.. In 1873 the di inuti.n in ex- ports. as compared with. 1872, was about $40.000,000 ; in 1874, as compared with 1873, -the diminution was $66;000,000 in 1875, $80,000.000 ; in876, $124,000, 000 ; in 1877, $150,000,00 ; and in 1878,, $130,000,000. Adding these together we find a total loss of over $580,000,000,, which put England at least ten. years! behind. The profits have diminished,! though the wants remain the same. It is necessary for people to give ue ex- pensive habits which they have acquir- ed to reduce expenses in everything, and even to submit to reductions- of wages when unavoidable causes render them necessary. This, however, is not accomplished without difficulty. In 1878 there were 244 strikes, of which only three were successful ; in 1877 nthere were 177 strikes, with about equal success. In the iron trade it is almost self-evident that the welfare of thework- men' as well as the manufactur , de- pends upon the prosperity of trade. In some branches of the irop� trade the rate of wages is fixed by mut al agreement, according to relations determined by the price of the product in the most impor- tant markets. Another cause of the difficulties sur rounding the crisis is ascribed' to : Ger many, although it has not produced there its serious effect which is seen chiefly in England ; that is, the enor- mous depreciation of silver, caused mainly by the adoption of the gold standard in Germany.. This, however, is too complicated a subject to be dis- cussed here. Another aggravating cir- cumstance for • England is that that country has been too ready to lend money to foreign states, forgetting the maxim of Lord Palmerston, that a high rate of interest always argues poor se- curity.' Of the 46 debtor states iu the • table prepared by the London Stock Exchange, only 18 pay with exactitude the interest on the $1,409,000,000 which have been lent to them. The twenty- eight others reeve been borrowed $1,667, 000,000, of which more than $S8,000,000 are totally lost, while the interest on the remainder is very irregularly paid. In addition to this, it should be men- tioned that the number of failures of late years, especially that of the City of Glasgow Bank—the history of which discloses a frightful amount of corrup- tion in some sections of British com- merce,—intensifies the existing depres- sion. An English writer maintains that the bad tiarvests of 1875, 1876 and 1877. are to be included among the causes o'1 the crisis. It is possible to be mistaken, because price of grain did not rise in the same way as it did at other times of bad harvests, and as it has in other places ; but, although bread be- . came no dearer, it is certain that the, farmers experienced a sensible loss in -- their harvests. Mr. Caird estimates this deficit at 22 per cent, in 1875, 24 per cent. in 1876, and 36 per cent. in 1877. What, however, is specially ag- gravating in these same years, is that ., the cattle have diminished. Tn 1874 there were estimated to be in England 6,125,000 head of horned cattle. At the end of 1877 there were 427,000 less. In the same triennial period out of 30,314,- 000 sheep, 2,153,000 were lost. The ru- ral population was, therefore, obliged to reduce its consumption of manufactured goods, and the banks most in . relation `with the cultivators were able to notice that their heir s avinbs, if any, were very in- significant. 1 Love as an. Investment. Love is the only thing that will pay ten per cent, of interest on the outlay..( • Love is the only thing in which thee' th height of extravagance is the last de- t gree of economy. (Applause.) It is the only thing, I tell you. Joy is wealth. Love is -the legal tender of' , the soul— (laughter)—and you need" not be rich to be happy. We have all been raised on success in this country., Always being talked with about being successful, and have never thought ourselves very rich unless we were the possessors of some magnificent mansion, and unless our names have been between the putrid lips of rumor we could not,- be happy. Every little boy is striving to be this and. be that. I tell you the happy man is the successful man. The man that ii of has won the love of one good woman is f b a successful man. The man that has been the emperor of one good heart an • HE HURON P POS I Ib V R. in defeat and disaster—driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast, banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon .,the frightful field of Waterloo, where chance and fate eom- biped to wreck the fortunes Of their former king. And. I saw him at S.t. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and sol- emn sea. I thought of the orphans and widows he had made—of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved him, pushed from him, by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant, and worn wooden shoos. I would rather have lived in a hut, with a vine growing over the door,. and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. 'I would rather have been that poor peasant, with my loving . wife by my side, knit- ting as the day died out of the sky— with my children upon my knees and their arms about me. I would rather _have been that man and gone , down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that Imperial impersonation of force and murder, known as Napoleon the Great. (Loud and renewed applause.) It is not necessary to be rich 'in order to bo happy. It is only necessary to be in love. (Laughter and applause.) Thousands of men go to knowledge and get a certificate that they have an education, and that certificate is in Latin, and they stop studying, and in two years to save their life they could- n't read the certificate they got. (Laugh- ter.) It is`mostiy so in marrying, they stop courting when they get married. They think wehave won her, and that is enough... Ah ! the difference before and after. • How well they looked ! How bright their eyes ! How light their steps and how full they were of gener- osity. I tell you a man should consider himself in good luck if a woman loves him when he is doing his level best. (Applause.)—Rob Ingersoll. Source of Personal Beauty-. A'beautifui person is the natural form of a beautiful soul. The mind builds its own house. The soul' takes . prece- dence of the body, and shapes the body to its own likeness. A vacant . mind takes all the meaning out of the fairest face. A sensual disposition deforms the handsomest features. A cold, selfish Bart shrivels and •distorts the best ooks. A mean, groveling spirit takes Il the dignity out of the figure and all he character out, of the countenance. stein (Austria), and the Republic of S Marino (Italy). The manufacture under Government supervision in En land, Russia and Turkey, and in t United States the Internal Reven officers are supposed to keep a stri watch over it, as one of the chief sourc of revenue. Some of the totals are e ormous. For instance, in Austria, t consumption in 1876 was 31,614 to • While in Hungary it was 15,000 ton in France, during the same, year, it w 31,435 tons, and 62,120 in 1877 ; Italy, in 1876, it was 17,200 ; and Germany the estimated consumpti was 89,000 tons.

Edmund Yates, writing in a London magazine, Time, says : The train,, which we may assume is bound due north, and which contains the roy 1 messenger and his precious freight f mail boxes, has crossed the border, and before it has arrived at Perth day has broken over the tops of the Scotch mountains. Balmoral is reached at last. It is a sweet summer day, and the Queen is seated in the tent on the lawn, where she frequently breakfasts in the warm weather, and remains for hours by herself or with her ladies. The sorting of the contents of the col- ossal mail bags will take upward of an hour, and then Tier Majesty will be i - formed that all is ready. Many letter are left for the royal hands to ope Thus a foreign sovereign, or one of th Queen's children, or it may even be on of her subjects whom she honors wit her friendship, has addressed an epis tie to Her ' Majesey, in the same wa • that friends, acquaintances and connec- tions, write to each other in ordinary life. But even this communication only.reaches its proud destination by a slightly circuitous route. The auto} graph communication of the Czar old Kaiser would first go to the Russian o German embassy in London, woulr then be sent to the Foreign Office i Whitehall, and would travel from th Foreign Office co Balmoral in one of th above-mentioned boxes. In the same way will be treated the letters of those members of the Royal Family who may from time to time be abroad, or for the matter of that at home. The Prince o Wales may employ the penny post in 'writing to an acquaintance. His Royal Highness has resort to the State boxes when he addresses his august mother, and the letter is usually enclosed under cover to the Queen's secretary. There is not one paper in these boxes which he Queen will fail to examine. On any she will ask for more information ; n some she will give definite opinions hich cannot be confined -within the cherished hatred transforms the, most —t Beautiful linearneists into an inttge of In gliness.

A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon—a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a dead deity —and gaced upon the sarcophagus of ' black Egyptian marble, were " rests at least the ashes of the restless man.
