This is all very fine, but does Mr.

implied threat that he will make cer

manner will he be beard from ? The
whqle country knows that there have

LONDON, April s.—The Bank of
France has reduced its rate of dis

tofore was 3 per cent. The Financier .
referring to this reduction, says:
This is likely to stimutate invest

land it seems to mark the conclusion
of a prolonged pressure upon the
gold stores, and gold stock in the
Bank of France has been gradually
raised to an unparalleled total.

6REAT MEETIN6 IN NEW ORLEANS.
The People Declare for Peace and Good
Feeling Between the Two
Races.
Washington, April 6.—A very large
mass meeting of the citizens of New
Orleans was held at Lafayette square
to-day. It is estimated that from
ten to fifteen thousand were present.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed. We, the citizens of New Orleans
in mass meeting assembled, repre
senting as we firmly believe the
sentiments of a large majority of the
people of Louisiana, proclaiming
anew our devotion to the Constitu
tion of the United States and our un
qualified acceptance of all the
amendments thereto; asserting that
in loyalty to our re-established Union
and in true national patriotism we do
not yield to the people of any section
of our common country, as we stand
ready to prove by any tost; declaring
our earnest desire to obliterate the
feelings of sectional bitterness which
were left as the result of the late un
happy war, and reunite the whole
people of the United States in a com
mon bond of brotherhood equally
desirous of breaking down the bar
riers of prejudice and distrust which
designing political tricksters have,
from base motives, reared between
the white and colored citizens of the
State, and to re-establish the rela
tions of the two races upon a basis of
just laws, co-equal rights, common
protection and harmonious and
kindly sentiments to-ward each
other; profoundly impressed with
the gravity of the crisis through
which our State is passing and the
feeling that we should publicly pro
claim our sentiments touching the
same, we do hereby adopt the fol
lowing resolutions.
[The resolutions are quite long,
patriotic, and fully in accora with
the preamble.]

then there has been more desire to
sell, and the market closes dull and
heavy at a decline of 3-l Gd. from

Fears iliat Turkey Reject* the Pro
tocol.
London, April 6.—The Full Mall
Gazette, in an article considering the
effects of the protocol, concludes as
follows:
Grave danger to peace lies in the
fanaticism or patriotism of the new
Turkish Parliament, and the proto
col and attendant declarations do not
diminish it. If their general tenden
cy is to soothe Russian susceptibili
ties, they are at the same time calcu
lated to exasperate or to harden the
Turks.
St. Petersburg, April o.— The
Galon to-day. commenting on the
situation, is of opinion that the pres
ent crisis will terminate if the Porte
will make concessions. The Golos
adds that the signatures ol the pro
tocol was proof of England’s readi
ness to accept everything that would
prevent armed intervention in Turk
isn affairs by Russia.

Europe u Vast Military Camp.
A short essay entitled “The Ques
tion of Money” has been prepared by
M. de Girardin, in which it is made
to appear that all existing govern
ments, except those ol' America and
England, are fast hastening in the
direction of bankruptcy. Referring
to one of the less great political sys
tems which in recent years have al
ternately found favor with mankind,
M. de Girardin says the result is
“Europe is one vast camp,” the six
powers alone spending close upon
$500,000,000 annually upon soldiers.
On this subject lie makes a minute
calculation, which is well worth re
production.' A soldier cost England,
according to this calculation, $503.40,
which, for an army of lOG.OOO men,
makes her military expenditure $53,-
253,fw per annum. A soldier costs
the French Republic only slightly
over $254, but then her army
amounts to 480,U00 men, and
thus raises her military expenses to
$112,913,203. The Czar pays a little
over $238 a head for his soldiers, hut
he has 575,000 iu the regular army to
pay, and the total cost of the Russian
army for a single year is estimated at
the enormous sum of $137,004,925.
The German Government pays a lit
tle over $225.14 for each of its sold
iers, of whom it has no less than 412,-
000, costing the empire $92,‘7,61,603.
Italy pays less than $181.58 per head
for her soldiers, who number in all
205,000 and cost the Kingdom $87,176,-
086. The Austrian army seems to be
intrinsically the cheapest of those
kept up by the great Powers. Each
man in it is supposed to cost the
public $174.30, which, for an army of
273.800, gives a total of $47,705,914.
To these sums might have been
added the aunual amount expended
by the great powers upon naval arm
amenis. which maybe roughly stated
at $60,000,000 for England, $35,000,000
for France, $24,000,000 for Russia,
$7,500,000 apiece for Germany and
Italy, and $5,000,000 for Austria,
making a total of $135,000,000. The
danger of universal insolvency will
never be removed till; in the words
of Victor Hugo, rulers shall have
ceased their search for the philoso
pher’s stone of definitive and invinci
ble armament; and leave off first
spending millions on ships which no
projectile can pierce, and spending
additional millions on the construc
tion of projectiles to pierce the same
ships.
An Intelligent Foreigner Complain*
That American Dog* Curl Their
Tall* llie Wrong Way.
From the Philadelphia Times.)
I was induced to visit America to
see your great International Exhibi
tion, at the grandeur of which I was
greatly surprised and gratilied. I
was too late to see what would have
been an interesting feature of the
Exhibition to me—the dog show. If
they were an average, or selected
from such dogs as I see on your
streets, they were of very low breed.
It is a very rare sight to see a dog
that curls his tail to the right. In
London or any of the cities of Europe
no gentleman of culture will own a
dog that curls his tail to the left; it
is with us an evidence of low breed.
A dog that curls his tail to the right
has never been known to be afflicted
with hydrophobia. Last month I en
gaged a number of policemen along
Chestnut street to keep an account of
the number of dogs they saw
in one day, and to note
down the number that curled
their tails to the right or left. The
number of dogs was not very great,
but the percentage was over ninety
in each one hundred that curled their
tails to the left, I find that all dogs
not muzzled are captured and killed,
except on Sundays, when they are al
lowed without muzzles, and are
tamed loose and seen in great num
bers. I intend to make another trial,
and, by permission of his Honor, the
Mayor, I have arranged with the
Chief of Police to engage every po
lice officer from Second to Sixteenth
street to keep an account of the num
ber of dogs they see, on Chestnut
street, or crossing Chestnut street on
Sunday next, and to note the number
that curl their tails right or left. I
am confident they will report that
from 93 to 9G out of every 100 curl
their tails left. The result of the
count will be given to the public in
the Times on Monday morning.

By JOSEPH SMITH, Jun.,
Author and Proprietor.
I’rinUd by Ji. B. Grandin, for the Autor.
Palmyra, New York, 1830.
The book contains 588 pages, plain
print, ami is prefaced by Smith’s
blundering excuse concerning the
116 pages whioh Mrs. Harris burned
up, and which are, of course, not
found in this body of Smith’s divini
ty. At titoend of the book the testi
mony of the “Three Witnesses,”
Cowdery, Whitmer and Harris, is
appended ; also, a certificate to the
same purpose, signed by four Whit
mers, one Page and three Smiths!
These testimonials are a mere blind,
hail in grammar, irrelevant iu fact—
and evidently written by tho same
hand.
The preface, by Author and Propri
etor Smith, is to any sensible person
conclusive evidence of the impos
ture, and it is now omitted from
Brigham’s edition and that of little
Joe Smith, at Plano, Illinois. In
1827-8-9 one of our personal friends
was at Palmyra, and, being well ac
quainted with the beginning of tho
Mormon fraud. Joe was a notorious
loafer, spending his time about the
saloons or along the creeks, in the
woods digging out wood-chucks,read
ing bad novels, joining a Methodist
Church occasionally,and in yanking a
quarter whenever he could by telling
fortunes! At the age of twenty-five
he was, according to old man Smith,
the genus of the family; long, lank,
limber and lazy ; his face the color of
a brick-yard, and a conscience that
enabled him to achieve the reputa
tion ot the most facflle liar in Pal
myra. After conceiving the plan to
account for the American Indians
and make a raise by imposing his
Golden Bible upon the credulous, he
succeed in getting Martin Harris and
Oliver Cowdery to help him put the
business through. It was while this
trio of tricksters was at work that
our informant was permitted to hear
them read their manuscript and talk
up the pecuniary gain. In 1829-30,
Harris mortgaged ids farm aud en
tered into a contract with Grandin,
of Palmyra, agreeing to pay $3,000
for an edition of 5,000. Thurlow
Weed had refused to do the printing,
believing it to be another of the
Smith’s attempts at swindling, aud
it was only upon the urgent sollci
tion of the Smith’s that Grandin con
sented to print too work. Before
going to tho printer, Joe kept
his sacred documents at home, cover
ed up iu a box. To keep oil some
of the credulous ami prevent med
dling. Joe affirmed that instant death
would end the days of any one who
should dare to look upon the plates
from which he was translating. This
answered the phrpOße very well until
Hussey and VanDraver offered to run
the risk and look at tho mysterious
book. Joe objected; but, befoie lie
could prevent! Hussey snatched off
the cover, saying: “Egad ! I’ll see the
critter, live or die!” Joe’s Bible
proved to be a large tile! Joe said
the joke was on them, and, all taking
a drink, the affair passed off with a
laugh. Iu the summer of 1830 the
first edition came from the press, and
Harris was happy. Smith had a rev
elation that tho Bibles should tie sold
ar $1 23 each. Harris had told his
wife that if she would only keep still,
he would make something out of the
business. This is the way ho cipher
ed : cost of the five thousand Bibles,
$3,000; five thousand retailed atsl 25
apiece would amount to so,2so—clear
gain of $3,950! The Bible speculation
fizzled ; the hook was treated only to
contempt and ridicule. Harris en
deavored to make the sales go “ac
cording to revelation” at $1 25 per
copy, but buyers were scarce; and
Joe had another revelation in
structing ids father—old man
Smith—to help Harris sell the
books. Every sale by old man
Smith was just so much dead loss to
Harris; hut the hook wouldn’t go
$1.25 a copy was too much for a Joe
Smith Bible, the author arid proprietor
being too well known around Palmy
ra, Manchester and Rochester. One
day old Smith went out with a
basketful oi the books, and was ar
rested for debt. Esquire Tiffany put
the old patriarch’s obligations, debt,
costs, &e., at $5.63. The old gentle
man had no money; but., on coudi
lions that ids persecutor would keep
hath, he agreed, in a private room,
to give seven Bibles to effect a clear
ance! This was something of a fall
from the price fixed by revelation,
but as there was a second creditor
waiting for him outside the office,
the old man concluded to out on the
Lord’s figures and get away—which
he did, escaping through a side door
to the infinite enjoymont of the man
who bad the armful of Bibles. The
Book is the veriest hash, a bungling
compound ot tho Spaulding Storv,
Old Testament and New, Watt’s
Hymns, Shakespeare, Robinson
Crusoe, and John Smith. It is be
neath ail scholarly criticism, audit
the reading of it were not attended by
harmless stupefaction of the mental
faculties, the sale ef it would beau
indictable offense-obtaining money
under false representations. Asa
curiosity in the department of human
credulity, no one cau object to the
Mormon Bible.
A writer in Scribner has an article
on the subject. "How to keep the
bovs on the farm.” He evidently
means well, but he doesn’t toucti the
point. To keep bovs on the farm,
the farm should be well paved, and
lighted with gas, and have a band
stand and billiard tables, and its own
bar and race-course. We hope our
farmers are just as anxious as they
appear to keep their boys on the
farm, but they don’t seem to take
any definite action. -Danbury Neivs.

Olrect Trade Union.
Yesterday the annual meeting of
tho Direct Trade Uuion of the Gran
gers of the State of Georgia, was
held in the Senate chamber.
The attendance numbered many
of the representative men of the
State, and was much above the
average of that at the meetings of
the Uuion.
Tiie reports of the secretary of the
Union and the board of directors, as
well as the report of the State Grange
agent, were read, and indicated a
most general interest in the success
of tho body.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, Hon. A. H.‘ Colquitt.
The reports of tho secretary, the
agent of the State Grange and the
board of directors are indicative of a
new and enthusiastic interest in the
Uuion.
Governor Colquitt made an enthu
siastic and eloquent speech in favor
of the continuance of the Union,
showing the many advantages which
the association already assured to
the fanners of Georgia without the
interest which the farmers already
feel in the movement.
The following officers of tho asso

T. J. Smith, of Washington; D. E.

M. 0. Fuller, of McDuffie; Russ P.

After tho election of officers,
further considerations as to the
efficacy of the Union were discussed.

Large ears hear things in general,
and denote broad, comprehensive
views and modes of thought; while
small ears hear things in particular,
showing a disposition to individual
ize, often accompanied by the love
of the minute. Large ears are usu
ally satisfied with learning the lead
ing facts of the case, with tho gener
al principle involved—too strict an
attention to the enumeration of de
tails, especially all repetition of the
more uffimportaut, is wearisome
to them. People with such eurs
like generaly, and are usually fitted
to conduct large enterprises, to re
ceive and pay out money in large
sums; they prefer to give with a
free hand, without reference to the
amount. Small oars, on tiie contra
ry, desire to know the particulars of
a story as well as the main facts;
take delight often in examining,
handling or constructing tiny speci
mens of workmanship; are disposed
to be exact with resxject to inches and
ouncos, iu buying dr selling—to the
extent, at least, of knowing the exact
number over or under the stated
measure given or received. People
with such ears would, in most cases,
prefer a retail to a wholesale busi

pitiful to see a good, conscientious

surprised and grieved she will bo to
find that her hoys and girls, at six

most excellent person to keep shirts
in order and to make new dresses,
and not as one to whom they care to
go for social companionship! Yet,

repeated rebuffs, such as “Runaway,
I’m too busv to listen to your non
sense,” children naturally go to their
mothers with all their sorrows and
pleasures; and if “mother” can only
enter into all their little plans, how
pleased they are! Such a
shout oT delight I heard last
summer from Mrs. Friendly’s cro
quet ground, where her two little
girls were playing! “Oh, goody!
goody! mamma is coming to play
with us.” She was a busy mother,
too, and I kuow would have much
preferred to uso what few moments
of recreation she could snatch, for
something more interesting than
playing croquet with little children,
not much taller than her mallet. She
has often said to me: “I cannot let
my children grow away from me. I
must, keep right along with them all
the time; and, whether it is croquet
with tho little ones, or Latin gram
mar and base ball with the boys, or
French dictation and sash-ribbons
with the girls, I must be ‘in it’ as far
as I can.”— Scribner.
MEXICO.
ANOTHER REVOLUTION BREWING—THE
REUItN OF LEIIDO DEMANDED.
City of Mexico, March 25— Via Ha
vana.—The dissentious between Presi
dent Diaz and General Mendez are be
yond settlement. During the absence of
Daiz Mendez had charge of the Govern
ment, and sent ten thousand Enfield Rifles
and several batteries into Sierra Puebla
for his followers. Diaz ordered the re
lurn of the rifles and Mendez refused.
Mendez charges the President with bad
faith in the election of President of the
Supreme Court. The quarrel has been
carried into Congress, where a dissension
is rife.
Daiz’s friends were defeated in the elec
tion of the Committee of Scrutiny on fifty
seats contested in Congress. The restor
ation of the Constitution and the return
of Ex-Presideiis_Lerdo is openly demand
ed.
A pronuncinmento against Diaz lias
been issued in Chihuahua. Oliveira has
pronounced for Lerdo in Sierras Quere
laro.
A starving Chinaman, who was
taken into the Cincinnati Hospital
for resuscitation a few days ago,
attributed his woful plight to the
fact that he had Btarted a laundry in
Louisville. He sums up his expe
rience in a single line: “Kentuckee—
two weeks—one shirtee.”
Kats aro effectionate—they luv
young chickens, sweet cream, and the
best place in front of the tire place.
Dogs are faithful—they will stick
to a bone after every body else haz
deserted it.
Parrotts are ezily edukated, but
they will learn to swear in half the
time they will learn anything else.
The birds eat bugs and worms for
plain vittleß, but their dsert konsists
of the cherries and gooseberries in
the garden.
The ox khoweth his master’s krib
and that is all he does know or care
about hiz master.
Monkeys are imitatiff, hut if they
kan’t imitate sum deviltry they ain’t
happy.
The goose is like all other phools—
allwuss seems anxious to prove it.—
