sossion, the Legislature must go forward
and pass liberal homestead 'and bankrupt
laws. In the latter law, after permitting
the debtor to retain enough of his property
to keep his family from suffering, we would
allow hin to surrender his property to his
oTeditors, aind be forever thereafter disehtar
ged from their demands. If forced into
bankruptcy the debtor could then go to
work with some he'art to take a iew start.

A Short Ohapter about Money.

-one thing was muro wanted than another.

'A foreign newspaper, which.devotes
much attention attention to the - mo
tives and movements of the Empress
Carlotta, relates that when she wal on
the eve of leaving Europe for Mexiqo,
where she expected to rign and
whence she did not elpect to return,
she paid a visit to her grand-mother,
.the old ex-Queen Amelie, widow of
Louis-Phillippe. at Clemiont, and
dutifully agkqd her ine kiajesty to
give her a blessing-whic was done,
with a great deal of solemnity, many
tears and several pious exclaipations.
She bade adieu to her uncles, the
Princes of Orleans, but' observing that
the Due d' Autnale, to whom the waa
most attached, was silent, if not $ad,
gently rallied him on his reticence.
He angwered, "Well, my fair niece,
what shall I say to you? You wish
to occupy a throne. You have it. I
pray God that you may keep It-hut
in our family that is not the custom."
It is not, on eithor side of the Orleans
bopie. Louis Phillippe died in exile.
His eldest son was killed by a fall out
of a chariot, and his heir, now Count
de Paris, has not the'slightest chance
of evor reigning In France. Queen
Alarle Anelie was a Neapolitan prin
Cess, and Franeis -II., -cx-King of Na
ples, who Is coisin to her children, is
now so poor that he can no longer ef
ford to live in Rome, where he is ex
pected to maintain a sort of* royal
state. When he quitted Naples, in
1860, he bo're with him a very large
amount of private property, but le

in Europe, waiting for "smething to

who is virtually deposed, is said to
have made ample provision for what
Dr. Franklin calls "a rainy day,"
Besides having sent the er6wu jewels
