_ It is certainly one of the eccentrici
ties which distinguish" San Marino
front all other countries that It puls
its litigation out, as some families put
out their washing, nml trades exclu
sively with the currency of foreign
•States. The country which buys and
sells with a currency over whieh it
has no control, nnd submits itsdillcr-
cnccs to foreign tribunals for adjust
ment, gives pretty heavy bonds to
keep the peace with its neighbors,
whatever lie the title it gives to its
form of government.
Tlie expenses of their government
ill not seem large to nn American.
They never exceed 25,000 francs—say
♦5,000—army, navy, postoflice, educa
tion, prisons, police, diplomatic ser
vice, representation, all included.—
Tlie revenue is raised out of the prof
its realized by the government from
the purchase of some 000,000 pounds
of tobacco in Hie leaf, which it man
ufactures to sell at a small advance;
from llie sale ; of about HO0 sacks of
salt, and a trifling stamp tax of tliree
ents on tiolrial, judicial and oilier
gal documents.
Tlie iicaltli of this republic is look

are not expected to resent llie otter
of a gratuity from those who enn af
ford to pay for their advice. These
functionaries receive .f:VI0 a year each

the same. San Marino has not only
never been nfllii-led with a newspa
