.fists About Crisis a •d Cras es
in Finance.
A. 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

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

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 •

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

How Queen. Victoria Receiv:s
Her Mail.
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

Zulu Women in England.
Two tawny women from Zululand

ium.: They were kidnapped into that
untry from the interior, and after-
ard an attempt to educate them was
ade in= the Cape of Good Hope,
hither they had been sent by an Eng -
h traveller, and where they learned
little Titch, still less English, and
nging. Their songs are of war and
ace—the latter displayingsome amus -
g graces, the evidence of Cape cul -
re ; but their heart is more in their
rk when they sing of war. In pic
resque array they sing to the' music
a piano and a small drum—repre-

'beautifier of the person is the overinas- an
tering purpose and pervading disposi-
tion of kindness. in the heart. Affee. ant
tion is the organizing force in the I hu-
mn constitution. Woman is fairer
n man because she has more affec-
ion than man. Loveliness is the out-
side of love. Kindness, sweetness, goocl-
wil, a prevailing desire and determina-
tion to make others happy, make the
body.a temple of the Holy Ghost. The
soil that is full of. pure and generous
affections, fashions the features into its
o�n angelic likeness, as the rose by in-
herent impulse grows in grace and
blossoms into loveliness which art can -
no equal. There is nothing on earth
which so quickly transfigures a person-
ali,y, relines, exalts, irradiates with
he ven's own impress of loveliness,

EPPs's Cocoa.—Grateful<and comfort-
ing.—"By a thorough knowledge of the
natural laws which govern the opera-
tions of digestion and nutrition, and by
a careful application of the fine proper-
ties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps
has provided our breakfast tables with
a delicately flavored beverage, which
may save us many heavy doctor's bills.
It is by the judicioususe of such articles
of diet that a constitution may be grad-
ually built up until strong enough to re-
sist every tendency to disease. Hun-
dreds of subtle maladies are floating
around us ready to attack wherever
there is a weak point. We may escape
many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves
well fortified with pure blood, and a
properly nourished frame."—Civil Ser-

it is not necessary to be rich and great
and powerful to be happy. A little
while ago I stood by the grave of the
old Napoleon—a magnificent tomb of

any nation or 'people, among whom its

prevyail. It certainly seems to alleviate
a hihman craving which is universal,
bouided by no lines of latitude, nor
circ.lmseribed by conditions of climate.

said that with the exception of some

of first consequence that a staple in
such a universal use should not be
