" had a silver currency, but more lately an irredeemable paper currency, is abeut to resume specie payments upon a gold basis. To do this the Empire will be in the market to purchase $250,000,000 of gold. The Kingdom of Greece also, which belonged to the bi-Metallic Latin Union, has also announced its intention of becoming a gold nation, and will re- quire $40,000,000 of gold to d so as the tirst step. According to the bi-mietallists the action of Austria and Greece will add to the prevailing commercial distress for it will augment the purchasing value of gold which will show itself by the re- duced price of everything produced by human labour. \ith gold and silver used concurrently prices would be kept in equilibrium but, if one of the meney metals was discarded, of course values as by the favored metal would m time be diminished one half. The scramble for gold among the nations is, according to this theory, the cause ol the depression in all the markets of the world. It is believed that next yeai wilLsee literally millions of working peo pie thrown out of employment in Europe and America. According to the report of Mr. Bnrchard, Superintendent of the Mint, while this extra demand is being made on gold its production from the mines is steadily falling off. In 1883 the production was $94,000,000, while in 1882 it was $98,600,000, aud in 1881, $103,020,000. The silver output of the world, however, is increasing. la 1881 it was over $102,000,000, in 1882 nearly $110,000,000 and in 1883 over $114,- 000,000. An Able Shark Yam. Capt. Beckett of the British ship Amana, now in port, |haa a ihark story which merits a place in nautical litra- ture, because it bears the imprint of re- liability, and can be proved by the affi- davits of Capt. Beckett and of every mem- ber of his crew. When his ship was off Montevideo she was becalmed for several hoars. A shark with five little ones swam around the ship all day. So soon as there was commotion on the water the mother would open her mouth, and the little ones would dart inside for protect- ion. For amusement the sailors threw bits of refuse overboard among the fam- ily, disturbing the water, each time with the same resist. T^e young quintlet im- mediately disappeared down the capaci- ous countenance of their protector. On the following morning a shark hook and line, baited wM pork;, was thrown over board, and in a short time a shark war hauled on deck. Upon being opened! t was discovered to be the very same fid which had amused the boys the day be- fore, becaose five young sharks, wen safely itoredaway tinder her tongae.- [Portland Oi^fonian.

The owner may also extract interest on the amount of indebtedness at the rate of fifteen per cent, per annum, hot no more, as this IB the highest rate of interest the King permiits hu subjects to charge. If a greater sum is demanded, and the fact can be established by acceptable testi- mony in a native court, the debt is can- celled and the slave becomes free. If for any reason he becomes dissatisfied with his owner, or master, which is often the case, he may secure another one by trans ferring the deea without asking the con- sent of the owner, provided the redemp' tion or " taking over" (as the Siamese express the transaction) is made in pursu- ance of law. If he can prove to the sat- isfaction of the District Judge that his wife possesses the requisite amount, he may apply to the court for an order com- pelling her to pay the debt and thus re- deem him from servitude but, in-as- much as the government is not supposed to encourage gambling with a wife's mo- ney, the law requires that the assign- ment of the san kromatan shall be made to the wife so that, when possessed of this formidable document, with the offi- cial seal duly attached, she becomes the absolute and bona fide owner of her hus- band by an indisputable title which no- thing but a royal decree can possibly an- nual. Frencb Holiday Presents. During the last ten years the custom of making presents during the holidays, has been so abused, that thousands an- ticipate Christmas with beating hearts. Even those who dare not disobey the fashion speak of it as "one grand farce." It is, however, to Paris that one should go, if he wishes to see the tyranny of the ' 'Christmas-box. ' ' The reign of the despot begins a week before the New Year and lasts until the middle of January. The first attack is made by the postman, who is closely followed by the water, wood and coal car- riers. Then come the street-sweeper, the lamp-lighter, the baker, butcher, grocer, fish-woman, shoe-maker, tailor, hatter, and glove-man. Each salutes his victim in the finest phrases. They are very po- lite on these days of visitation â€" and re- ceive from two to five francs. At the cafe, on the tray from which the cup of chocolate is taken, lies an orange, a box of bonbons and a cigar tied up with tricolored ribbon. The waiter smiles and the;rictim, also smiling pockets one of the presents and lays a five-franc piece in its place. The walker on the BoiUevardsis hailed by the women wHo keep the little stalls with, "Give me a present, my dear mon- sieur!" The gamin picks the gentleman's handkerchief out of his pocket, in order that he may restore it and ask for a "pres- ent." The porter of the house in which the gentleman has rooms must be liberally feed, or during the year the lodger's let- ters will be lost, his friends will be told that he is not at home when he is expect- ing them, and those whom he does not wish to see will be shown into his apart- ment. If he makes a social call, he must take a present for the lady of the house, and for the children. The ordinary present consists of a box of bonbons. Fashion requires that these should be bought of certain famous confectioners, though just as good honhons may be purchased at a hundred shops, at a quarter of the price. These famous confectioners inscribe their names on the pretty boxes and bags â€" which cost no trifle â€" so that the lady and the children know where your pres- ent was purchased. Some of the ladies receive scores of such boxes or bags. A smile and a word of thanks reward the giver, and when he has departed, his present is handed over to the maid or footman. The servants eat the bonbons and re sell the boxes to dealers, who do a paying business by furnishing people with sec- ond-hand boxes or bags stamped with the name of a fasluonable confectioner. One lady, it is said, received the same box four times in as many years. A witty Frenchman, annoyed by the tyrannical custom, announced his pur- pose to reverft the method. Accordingly onNew Year's Day he presented himself to the proprietor of the cafe which he frequented and claimed a present for having been a daily customer for twelve months.

Good, healthy food that will give strength to the blood is the best prevent- ive of disease that can be provided. It furnishes the ^system with the resistive power necessary to ward off disease. On the other hand, food d^ective in quality or quantity leaves theUood impoverished and thei^Btem opentotheattadc of various forms of e^emlo.

In Cornwall, on Ohristfloaa eve, tike children areallowad totUup till midnight, and to have a taste of cider, too; and in Devonshire they go, with thdr father-aad all the fanuly and friends, out into tiie orchard with cider and a oaka, placing the latter in theorotch of oaeof ^e branches, and throwing the other over the tree. This is evidently the relic of an old Pagan rite, bearing every appearance of the an- rientsaadfioe, a sacrifice to propitiate the tree to continue its fmitfnlness, al^ongh why it should be offered on Christmas eve is not explained. Indeed, there are many heathen cus- toms that have been gnUCted upon our way of heaping Christmas. This will be understood when it is remembered that the early Christiain fathers found it hard to keep their flocks from joining in the Pagan ceremonies at times of g(xd feel- ing and jollity. They therefore wisely made their own ceremonies conform to the same occasion, so that if their people must celebrate, they could be celebrating Christian facts. Thus the old Roman Saturnalia, a time of great merry making, to apeak mildly, coming at this season of the year,, the early fathers thought best to harmonize It with their Christmas fes- tivities. From the Saturnalia are descended the "Mummers," a band of people who go about in masks, in England, and enact some rude play before tiie doors. What- ever this play was in the days of the Sa- turnalia, in the Christian days it has us- ually been the story of St.-George and the Dn^on â€" old Father Christmas, crowned with holly and carrying a wassail bowl, introducing St. George, a Turkish knight, a huge s»ly dragon, and a doctor to bind np the wounds; to all of whom the children at the window are delighted to throw their half -pennies. Again in Great Baitain the priest of the new religion borrowed from the Diuids, for their Christmas use, the observance of the winter solstice with great solemnity, and allowed also some of the customs of the ancient Saxons to be absorbed. Thus from the Druids we have the misletoe, and from the Saxons the Yule log. There is a cheer and general hospitality about the Yule log which it warms one to think of. In the places where such a thing is really burned, when it is cut and dragged along to be placed on the hearth, and lighted from the embers of last year's log, put away for that purpose, every way- farer raises his hat to it as it goes along, it means so much. From what the "Waits," another ac- companiment of Christmas, dear to Eng- lish children, have descended is not cer- tainly ascertained; but there was a com- pany of "Waits" as early as the year 1400, and it is understood that they were then strolling players on hautboys and other wind instruments; and thatis tdl they are to-day. The one purely Christian observance in all these glad, gay ceremonies is the '^Carols." The singers haveapictur- esqueness as the glimmer of their lanterns illumines them by fits and starts in the darkness on the snow, and their voices have a sweetnese half stolen from their songs. The "Carols" are sung now all over the European continent, and in Eng land usually by a portion of the church choir on Christmas eves, and often on Christmas mornings, by certain of the children of the parish. In the early ages the bishops sang them among their clergy. In all these things children have their share, being the principal ones to enjoy them; while with the "Mummers" a little girl goes, hitting no other part than that of carrying ar Wanch of Christmas green. The Christmas tree, which is the most positive feature of children's Christmas nowadays, was not much knovn, if at all, among the English speaking children till after the good Prince Albert came to Eng- land. The very fact that Christmas means a rite celebrating the day of Christ's birth gives children an especial claim upon the day which belongs to the Holy Child, and one of the appellations of whose patron saint is Kriss Kringle, which means the Christ ChUd. Petrified Wood. The petrified wood which is so abun- nant in the United States territories of Arizona. Wyoming, and the Rocky Moun- tain regions is rapidly becoming utilized by the practical American. In San Fran- cisco there is now a factory fcr cutting and polishing these petrifications into mantlepieces, tiles, tablets, and other architectural parts for which marble or slate is commonly used. Pet- rifled wood is said to be susceptible of a finer polish than marble, or onyx, the latter of which it is driving from the mar- ket. The raw material employed comes mostly from the forest of petnficd wood along the line of the Atlantic Pacific RaQway. Sevend other companies have also been formed to obtain concessions of different portions of these forests.

And so it is of a man of whom Pittsburg should have for- Umt knowledge. "Where is the grave of Beanjenris a question often asked by those interest- ed in antiquarian resaarebes in local his- tory, but no one can answer. No one knows where lies the body of the man who oommanded the French lurces at Pittsburg, and with a handfsl of men went ont into the wilderness and defeated the finest army England ever sent against the French in America. The boldest operations of the French against their ancient foe the Edglish, were planned by this brilliant soldier,and his picture shows him to have been a man with a strikingly bright, handsome and commanding face. Daniel Hyacinth Mary Leonard de Beaujeu was descended Irom a family of Danphiny which wes ancient axid illustri- ous. Daniel was bom at Montreal in 1711, his father being an officer in the Canadian army and Mayor ef Quebec. In 1748 Daniel became a captain and af- terward was commandant at Detroit. He had great es^perienca with the Indians and received the Cross of St. Louis for his services. He came to Fort Dusqueane in 1765, being made commandmant of that post, succeeding M. de Contracoeur. A fornudable army under General Braddock composed of veteran English troops and Virginia Colonial companies, were on their way to Fort Dusquesne when Beaujeau took command Tlie fort was not strong enough to stand a siege and the Frencn force was too weak to defend it. There was a motley collection of Indians at the fort, and though Beaujeu did not think they could be relied upon he {determined to test them. He hastily arranged the details of ambuscade by the banks of the Monongohela, near where the second great steel works of the world is now lo- cated. The Chevalier de La Perade made a reconnoissance on July 6th, and fell back to report the presence of the enemy. When Beajeu visited the Indian camp and told his. project the natives were loth to aid him, andsaid they had no hope of defeating the English. On the 9th of July, in the little"Chapel of the Assump- tion of the Blessed Virgin at the Beau- tiful River," which is represented now by Father Lambing's church, on Third ave- nue, the French troops listened to Mass and Beaujeu received the communion, as he said he did not expect to return. They marched forth then to battle, 1,200 regu- lar soldiers and 146 Canadians. The In- dians at first refused to go, but the Hud- son Chief Athanase, of Lorretto and Pon- tiac persuaded the 600 Indians of a dozen different tribes to follow them. The ambuscade was made at the first crossing. At the third volley Beaujeu fell, pierced through the forehead by a ball. Capt. Dumas succeeded to the command. Then came Braddook's defeat, of which Washington said "We have been beaten, by a handful of men." When the French returned to the field of battle after the pursuit of the English was over, the body of Beaujeu was carried bask to Fort Duquesne with those of Lieut. De Corqueville and Ensign De la Perade. The body of Beaujeu remained axposed in state until the 12th of July, when it was buried in the cemetery of the fort. Friar Baron says lieaujeu's body "was interred on the 12 bh of the same month in the cemetery of Fort Duquesne under the title of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin at the Beautiful River, and this with the ordinary ceremonies by us, Recollet priest, etc." All trace of the cemetery has passed away. For making excavations for Breed Edwards' plough works, on ' Water street, at the corner of Penn, some bodies and military accoutrements were dug up, and it is thought this was about the location of the' cemetery, but there is no means of ascertaining, Beaujeu lies in a nameless grave, and France,, under Napoleon III., refused to raise a monu- ment to him. His descendants still live in Tours, in France, and the descendants of his brother reside in Canada. From California On Horseback.^ At Dubuque, Iowa, a woman about 20 years of age, riding a spirited horse with a yearling colt, behind which a little dog trotted, appeared recently. She said that her name was Ida Lawson. Her parents had died in California, and she had re- solved to go to her relatives in Wisconsin. She started on horseback six months i^, carrying a revolver until she reached Denver, where she sold it. Miss Law- son's destination was Green Lake, Wis., which place she left with her sister for California in April, 1883. They took a horse, buggy, and celt, and arrived in San Francisco on Sept. 19, 1883. She left there on -May 19, 1884. Tlie-horse and colt she had were those taken from Wisconsin. She had no com- panion at any time on the homeward journey, and used a sheepskin for a sad- dle. The object of her trip in this novel way was to bring back the mare and colt and the novelty of crossing the mountains alone. Miss Lawson has a good education, ts prepbsseadng in appearance, and lady- like in manners. She will reach her home on Thursday next.
