The miners are turning out $2,500,000 in silver per month, and yet many Detroiters settle keys in their pockets to keep up appearances. An Illinois man created an excitement when he died the other day. The excitement was among the insurance companies carrying $30,010 on his life. Timed nature will have to restore herself the best way she can for a few days. Mr. Schleep has just been severely injured by the explosion of a cider-bottle in St. Louis. Anthony Comstock is still making his raids on the bad folks who publish bad literature, and whenever he gets hold of a chap the doors of the State prison are sure to open. The Knoxville Whig figures it up that the clergy cost the United States $12,000,000 annually; the criminals, $40,000,000; the lawyers, $70,000,000; and rum, $200,000,000.

And then he continued thought- The French Republic. The first Parliament of the new French Republic has concluded the labors of its first session. At the general election which took place last winter, the Constitution framed by the old Assembly was put in force; and a Senate and Chamber of Deputies were chosen freely by the people. Thus was ended for the time the long struggle, lasting for nearly six years, between those who desired a monarchy under either the Count of Chambord or the Count of Paris, those who wished to restore the Napoleonic empire and those who preferred a Republic; and the victory remained with the latter. But the old parties contested the elections with spirit; and the result was that while the Republicans secured a large majority of the Deputies, or town House, the Senate proved to be about equally divided between the Republicans, and their opponents of various opinions combined. The President, Marshal MacMahon, found himself under the necessity of appointing a Republican cabinet; and this he did, putting the aged but still energetic M. Dufaure at its head. Now was the time, therefore, to see the experiment of a Republic fully tested. Could the French really govern themselves under a democratic form? Would the Republicans finding that they held the power, become violent in their action, and try to introduce all sorts of visionary measures, or imitate the excesses of the Jacobins of old? Or would they show wisdom and self-control in their new and difficult position? The result of this first and test session has surely been such as to gratify those who wish to see France orderly and prosperous, and at the same time enjoying those liberties which a Republic best secures. It has been shown that not only have the French exhibited self-control, but that the Republicans, once possessed of power, have used it well, and not abused it. The violence and threats against the peace of the country which the old Assembly, elected amid the confusion of war, betrayed, have happily not reappeared in the Parliament of the Republic. France has never been more quiet and orderly than during the past six months. Nowhere have any outbreaks occurred. The people seem to have settled down Living in Lansing. Rent such as a says Louis J.

Worcester Press: Vanderbilt's doctor has been trundled with all his medical wisdom to the quiet shades of Greenwood; while the plain old Commodore has gorged himself with watermelons, green cucumbers and hard boiled eggs, and started off on another decade. There are no mosquitoes in the Black Hills at this season of the year, but just as the miner gets curled up for sleep, the sentinel gallops over him and calls out, "Injuns!" Sometimes they turn out to be shadows, and sometimes horses, and sometimes the sentinel is booted out of camp. A witness for the prosecution in a murder case was thus questioned by His Honor: "You say you saw the man shot at and killed?" "Yes, sir." "You said, I think, that the charge struck the deceased, on his body, between the diaphragm and the duodenum!" Witness—"No, sir; I didn't say no such thing. I said he was shot between the hog-pen and the wood-house." A Farmer Wants a Refrigerator. This is the season when advertisements of refrigerators and ice chests spread out in a newspaper like a mortgage on a small corner lot. It was advertising in the Free Press that attracted a Nankin farmer into Detroit, and into a Woodward avenue hardware store yesterday. When he mentioned the fact that he would like a refrigerator, the proprietor welcomed him with a sunny smile, and the clerks cheerfully barked their shins against the stoves as they flew around. "Will you look at these ice chests?" asked the proprietor, as they came to a long row. "What do I want to keep ice in a chest for?" growled the farmer. "What I want is something to keep provisions cool and nice in hot weather." "Well, here you have it. Here is the best refrigerator made." The farmer opened the doors, looked the box over and around, and seemed much pleased with it. Presently he inquired— "What's the principle of the thing? How does she cool off the provisions?" "You put your ice right in here, shut the box, and away she goes," was the reply. "Ice!" gasped the farmer. "Why, of course; you can't run a refrigerator without ice, can you!" The farmer turned without a word, walked down stairs and out to his wagon, and was getting in when the hardware The violence and threats against the peace of the country which the old Assembly, elected amid the confusion of war, betrayed, have happily not reappeared in the Parliament of the Republic. France has never been more quiet and orderly than during the past six months. Nowhere have any outbreaks occurred. The people seem to have settled down confidently to their old habits of industry and enterprise. Nor is this the only good effect of the new Republican government. The Chambers have made some important progress in the laws that they have passed; and the honest President himself, who although not a Republican, has wisely and loyally accepted the new order of things, has done his part in effacing the memory of France's misfortunes, by pardoning many of the convicted communists. The old law by which the mayors of every town, village and city in France were appointed by the Minister of the Interior, has been done away with, and now the mayors of the smaller places are elected by the local councils, who in their turn are elected by the people. Many of the odious restrictions upon liberty have been abolished. The press has been made more free, and people may now meet in France to discuss politics, or whatever else they please, with much less interference on the part of public officials than was formerly the case. Meanwhile, the finances of France have been put in a better condition, and the re-organizing of her army, shattered in the terrible war with the Prussians, has gone vigorously on. The Republican leaders have shown themselves as wise and moderate, as little inclined to rash words or action, as the statesmen of other parties displayed when they were in power; and this has done very much to inspire the people with confidence in their new government. We may expect a period of tranquillity and growth until the Parliament again meets several months hence; and we may look forward with hope rather than fear to the period of its re-assembling, trusting that it will then go on with the good work so well begun.—Youth's Companion. Wellesley Students. To the bracing tone of the Wellesley atmosphere, and the wholesome effect of Wellesley ideas, the students themselves are the best witnesses.

How does she cool off the provisions?" "You put your ice right in here, shut the box, and away she goes," was the reply. "Ice!" gasped the farmer. "Why, of course; you can't run a refrigerator without ice, can you?" The farmer turned without a word, walked down stairs and out to his wagon, and was getting in when the hardware man hurried up and asked— "What's the matter?" Do you think I'm a four-cornered fool?" howled the agriculturist. "Do you think I'm going to buy that high priced provision asylum and then keep ice, tool." A Discerner Junior.—In one of our western counties not long since, a man was tried and found guilty of stealing a pig. In writing out the verdict the foreman wrote: "We fine the prisner knot gilty." One of the jury who had seen the inside of a schoolhouse, wanted some alight change made in the spelling of the verdict, but the foreman whispered: "I know that spelling is sorter abaky, but you have to pander to the sheriff, and the Judge and the District Clerk, for that's the way they all spell. If I was to spell a vardlet right, and they were to find it out, the whole jury would be indicted next term of the court, and we wouldn't even get our jury fee for this day's work. You see they have got the drop on us. Let us not exasperate them as long as they are in power."—San Antonio Herald. A correspondent writes: "Reading just now your Odds and Ends reminded me of what actually occurred to Mrs. — and myself while travelling in Italy. Our ladies' mud was a thorough cockney. We arrived at Florence one night very late, and the next morning the ladies' mud, in great excitement, evidently quite delighted at seeing an old friend, while drawing back the window curtain, examined Lor' mum, here's the Thomas a flowing past the winder.' I needn't add 'was the Arna.' An engenite friend of my father's, simple to a degree, but willal, a great full-hunter, was asked one day at dinner if he knew Lord Flounder. Was he content, but I had a snail that very easily dipped with him puns." Living in London and New York. Rents such as are common in New York, says Louis J. Jennings, in a letter from London to the New York World, of $1,200 to $3,000 a year, would have suffice to hire a mason in the most fashionable parts of the town, and the class that can afford to pay £500 or £600 a year for a house is exceedingly limited. I should myself, speaking from personal experience and after careful inquiry among my friends, put down for rent and taxes, in a very good locality, £150 a year. For this you may obtain a house in almost any direction—north or south, east or west—such as you have to pay even now from $1,200 to $1,500 a year for in New York, not including taxes. Here the tenant pays the taxes—in New York the landlord does—so that the comparison cannot be made with entire accuracy. And it must be remembered that I have taken the diminished New York rent—not the price of three or four years ago. We now come to the servants' wages, which, perhaps, I had better give you from two different households well known to me. The cook in one case gets £18 a year ($90 gold); in the other £22 ($110). We used to pay from $20 to $25 a month in New York for a cook, and she was not so good as a £20 a year cook would be here. Twenty dollars a month is about £43 a year, currency, as nearly as I can calculate it without knowing the price of gold at this moment. A "waitress," or parlor-mald, here gets about £12 a year, and a house-maid to £10 to £11. Your readers know best what wages they give in their own households for servants of the same kind. Most English servants expect, in addition to their wages, an allowance of 1s. 6d. a week for washing and 1s for beer—say £6 10s a year more. So that, taking three in-door servants at the wages I have given (which are the average wages in respectable and comfortable families), the total cost of them (that is, in money), amounts to £61 10s a year, or $307.50 in gold per annum. Clothing, for adults as well as children, is very much cheaper here than it is in New York, and children as a rule wear common fabrics—cotton prints and the like, so that their dress costs comparatively little. About "show" dresses for ladies I say nothing, because to my mind the system of fashionable dressmaking is a system of the grossest extortion, not to use a harsh word.

Manufactory; Berry St., between 4th and 5th, San Francisco. NEW INVENTION, WHICH SPECIALLY supplies the wants of the Pacific States, has just been perfected and shaped into a regular WELL BORING AND PROSPECTING AUGEN. It is constructed on purely scientific principles, and its perfect simplicity of formation So that, taking three in-door servants at the wages I have given (which are the average wages in respectable and comfortable families), the total cost of them (that is, in money), amounts to £601 10s a year, or $807.50 in gold per annum. Clothing, for adults as well as children, is very much cheaper here than it is in New York, and children as a rule wear common fabrics—cotton prints and the like, so that their dress costs comparatively little. About "show" dresses for ladies I say nothing, because to my mind the system of fashionable dressmaking is a system of the grossest extortion, not to use a harsher word. Arbitrary prices are imposed, and no woman ever deems that she gets the value of her money. Men are not so victimized, simply because they never would submit to it. But even for "fashionable" dresses the prices are lower by at least one-third, oftener one-half, than they are in New York. Boots for persons of all ages and both sexes are much cheaper. A man can get a very good pair of boots here for £1 5s, a lady for 16s, and a child for from 4s to 7s 6d. I do not know where a well-made pair of men's boots could be got in New York for $5 or $7. I am taking good work here as the basis for the comparison, for one may see men's boots marked up in windows at 6s 6d a pair, or even less; but I should suppose that, like Moses Primrose's spectacles, they are made to sell, not to be used. Coal here at this moment is £1 8s a ton—what it is in New York I do not know. Let us now come to provisions. Of course, as we all know, the prices of these vary at different seasons, but I will take this week's rates, and in order that there may be no mistake, I will copy from the tradesman's book now lying before me. Beef is 1s a pound, and steaks (the best) 1s 3d. We used to pay in New York for precisely the same description of beef 30 and 35 cents a pound respectively. As for quality, I contend that New York beef is better than that which we get here, but there are two Americans in my household, and they both respectively pronounce the opposite opinion. There being therefore, two to one, I suppose I must be wrong. As to mutton, there can be no dispute, for it is decidedly better here. The price is 1s a pound for leg or saddle—for a leg of mutton we used to pay 25 cents a pound in New York. Mutton, therefore, seems to be a little cheaper in New York than here. Lamb is 1s 3d a pound here, and 35 cents in New York (I give the New York prices from our own books). Fowls are now scarce here, and fetch 7s a pair. Eggs are 1s 6d a dozen; tea, 4s a pound. For tea not so good, the New York price was $1.50 a pound. Lump (or loaf) sugar is 4½d a pound, as against 14 cents in New York. The best butter is 2s per pound; we paid 50 cents in New York. Bread is much cheaper and much better than in New York—the seven-pound loaf now costs 7s. Potatoes vary from 1d to 8d per pound. Fish, generally, is very cheap—soles about 1s 6d or 2s per pair; mackerel, four for 1s; fresh herring (just come in), 1s 9d per dozen; salmon, 1s 6d per pound; turbot, a fair-sized one, for 4s 6d, and a small one for 8d. Coffee is 1s 8d per pound (45 cents in New York), and rice 2½d per pound (12 cents per pound in New York). Game is not MORE PALACE OF ART, 41 MONTGOMERY ST., San Francisco.

WASHINGTON SEE'S THE JOKE.—Mrs. Wright, the celebrated wax-head modeler, had a son who was an artist. "Wright came to Mount Vernon"—Gen. Washington told Watson—"with the singular request that I should permit him to take a model of my face in plaster-of-Paris, to which I consented with some reluctance. He oiled my features over, and placing me flat upon my back, upon a cot, proceeded to dabb my face with the plaster. Whilst in this ludicrous attitude, Mrs. Washington entered the room, and seeing my face thus overspread with the plaster, involuntarily exclaimed. Her cry excited in me a disposition to smile, which gave my mouth a slight twist, or compression of the lips, that is now observable in the huts which Wright afterward made." There has been a large increase in the stock of fish in the waters of New York, and especially of shad, of which 4,500-600 were turned loose in the Hudson river during the past year, and so large was the increase of the catch that the price of large shad was beaten down in commerce and treasury.
