It turns out that the proposal that Russia. and Turks) should cnnjointly regulate Bul- garia. and Eastern Rmmalia. in accordance with the terms of the treaty of Berlin has been accepted. The Porte has united with the Czar in empowering the Russian General Ernroth ro supercede the present unsanction- edGovernmentatSophiaund Philippepolimto convoke a. new and constimtional Sobrauje, to which no members from Eastern Raumelia would be eligible, and to elect, in the. place of Prince Ferdinand, a. ruler acceptable to both the interposing powers. If the threat- ened resistance to Eran-th’s mission is actually offered, a. legal basis would be laid for armed occupation, which would doubt- less follow. It will be noticed that the CZJJ‘ occupies precisely the some ground on which he planted himself at the (late of Prince Alex- ander's resignation. He holds now, as he did then, that the Soln'anje, or Bulgaria National Assembly, had no right even to designate a provisional regency, and much less to choose a. permanent ruler, since from the moment it admitted delegates from the Turkish province of Eastern Roumelia. it lost the elective powers conferred by the Berlin treaty. Ernroth, in short, is ordered 30 do the very thing that Kaulbars failed to o. There is, however, a. {marked difference in the circumstances under which the new7 Rut sian envoy will approach Bulgaria. The proceedings of Kaulbars were viewed with undisguised disapproval at Constantinople, and they provoked sharp remonstmnce from Austria, Italy, and England. What Bismarck thought could only be divined from the action of the men at Rome and V‘enna. who, since the formation of the tripla alliance, have been his puppets. Now, on the contrary, not one of the obstructive agencies just named is likely to give Gen. Ernroth much trouble. \Vith their subsidâ€" ized dependent, Abdurraham, (lying at Cabal, and Ayoub ‘Khan hovering'upoB the outskirts of Afghanistan, the British Gov ernment have far more to lose than gain by open rupture with Russia, to which too vigorous defence of the Bulgarian revolu- tionists would inevitably lead. As for Austria. she is divested of 8.11 moral protest against the Ernroth mission by the revelation of her own corrupt bargain to accept Bosnia. and the Herzegovina. as a. counterpoise to Russia’s acquisition of Bul‘ garia. Indeed, she now has cause to fear, in presence of the striking change in the Porte’s attitude, that, the retrocession of the provinces obtained on false pretences may 1) esuddenly demanded. That the Porte, [on its part, has a. right untier the treaty of Berlin to depute a Russian General, or any- body else. to reestablish its authority in Eastern Roumelia, is undisputed. The knowledge, however, that this right would not have been exercised without the secret approval of Bismarck will have a. decisive influence on the action of England, Austlia, and Italy,who have been hitherto inclined to support Prince Ferdinand. ‘ l- .1 It 3150 is a coincidence worth noting that just after the Porte, for reasons known to itself. determines to co-operage with Russia, the C zzr‘s new organ at Moscow prints 3 vio- lent diatribe against the French republic. Our word dollar dates back to 1785, when aresolution was passed by Congress which provided that it should be the unity of money of the United States. Another resolution was passed in 1786. August 5, providing that it should weigh 375.64 grains of pure silver. The Mint was established in 1792, and then required to coin silver dollars containing 371. ‘25 grains of pure silver. This was due to the influence of Alexander Hamilton. No dollars were coined until 1794, and then irregular. They are worth now $100 each. In 1794 the coinage of regular dollars began. Our coin was an adaptation of the Spanish milled dollar, a coin very popular wherever the Spaniards traveled. The coin was called piastre, meaning a flat iece of metal; it is synonymous with piaster. t is supposed that the Spaniards took the German “thaler”and called it by the name oi“piaster." The word dollar is entered in Bailey’s English Dictionary of 1745, and was used repeatedly by Shakespeare \t the beginning of the seventeenth century, es- pecially in Macbeth, ii: 2, 62:" Till she disbursed . . . $10,000 to our general use." (See also the Tempest, II: 1. 17). The question where Shakespeare found the word dollar is answered by the fact that the Hanseatic towns maintained a great estab- lishment called the Steel Yard in London. The Steel Yard merchants were mostly North Germans, who would call the German thaler as it was spelt, “dahder.” The same merchants originated the word sterling an abbreviation of the word “esterling.” As the Hanseatic trade was particularly brisk on the Baltic and in Russia the standard coins of tho Hanse merchants were called esterlings, and sterling came to mean something genuine and desirable. The Word dollar is the English for thaler, the first of which was coined about 1485, and corresponds quite closely to our present American silver dollar. The word thnler means “coming from a. dale or valley,” the first dollar having been coined in a. Bohem~ iun valley called Foacnimsthal. It1 was under Charles \'., the Emperor of Germany, King of Spain and Lord of Spanish America. that the German thaler became the coin of the worldâ€"American Paper. PARIS, Sept. 8.â€"The marriage which took place here a few days ago between Mlle. Helene de Rothschild. the only daughter-oi the late Baron Solomon de Rothschild, to the Baron Zuylen Van Nyewelt was a very quiet affair. Allthe members of the Roths- child family, including even the bride’s mo- ther, abstained from being present at the ceremony. Parisian society, instead of show- ing sympathy to the young couple and ap- proving this love match, as was generally expected would have been the case, has openly-taken the part of the offended rela- tives. The sole and unique reason of the discontent of the Rothschild family is the religious faith and comparative poverty of the Belgian nobleman. No other objection can be made against him. Mlle Helene (le Rothschild is one of the greatest heiresses in Europe. She has not only the fortune left her by her father, but she inherited last year afurther legacy of several millions of dollars from her grandmother, the Dowager James do Rothschild. In addition to all this she will eventually inherit her mo» ther’s fortune. It is the first time that such anumber of millions of dollars have been withdrawn from the Rothschild business. -__.aAi-â€"1 The flistorv of the Dollar The (‘zur's Next Move. A Belgian Baron’s Luck. It has been said, as with authority, "The l‘ days of our years are three-score and ten, 1 and though men he so strong that they live four-score years, yet is this strength then but labour and sorrow, so soon passeth it away and We are gone." The Psalmist (this particular psalm is attributed to Moses) would probably have modified his opinion had there been men in his day like our English Gladstone, the moulder of a State’s decree, (to say nothing of his stalwart woodsman- ship) long after the the three-score years and ten have passed ; or Palmerston, Prime Minister in his 80th year ; or Brougham, full of strength when long past even tho four-score years. In America, Bryant and Longfellow were hale and active men at four-score. In Europe such men as Moltke and Bismarck show that the Psalmist’s rule 0005 not now hold good, whatever may have been the case in his time. But in our days, as in the days of old, the philosopher lives longer than the ruler, the statesman and the. warrior. The same age which has seen a VVehingtou die at 8‘2 and Palmerston at 70 has still living the physicist Chevreul at over a hundred, and has but lately lost the philanthropist Montefiore, who had also passed the century. I n. u._L1-..,_ l'"""" '7' ”" u The common idea. is, however, that long- evity depends entirely on inherited consti- tution. The man whose father and mother, grandparents, and great-grandparents at- tained a high average age is supposed to have a much better chanco of long life than one whose forefathers had been short-lived. Probably there is much truth in this idea. ; but it is not improbable, rnd the point seems worth careful study, that longevity is affected indirectly rather that directly by inheritance. It may well be that the dos. cendant of long-lived folk is apt to be long- lived, not solely or chiefly because he inherits constitutional peculiarities tending to length of life, but because he inherits qualities leading to temperance and absti- nence by which life is prolonged, or even simply because temperance and abstinence have been encouraged during his youth by example and by precept. THE CASE OF LOUIS CORNARO. Considering the question of longevity from this pomt oi view, the case of Louis Cornaro, which has always been thought most instructive, becomes full also of en- couragement. _ .. .. u 1 In the first place, it must be remembered that Cornaro (who was born at Venice about the year 1467) was a. man of weak con- stitution. Moreover, from the age of 18 to that of 35 he pursued courses that would have seriously taxed the strongest constitu- tion. Life at 35 was a burden to him be cause of the disorders brought on by riotous living and indulgence in every kind of excess. The next five years were passed in almost unremitted suffering. He was told by his physicians, when forty years old, that nothing could prolong his life for more than two or three years, but that such life as remained to him might be less painful than the years he had recently lived if he would adopt more temperate habits. If ever there was a case where inherited constituâ€" tion and an intemperate life threatened an early death this was one. But as events he- fell it turned out that if ever there was a case where the life-preserving efi‘ects of wise regimen and abstemious habits were demonstrated Cornaro’s must be cited as es- pecially signifieant. A 1 1 n At the age of 40 Cornaro began gradually to reduce the quantity of food, both liquid and solid, which he took each day, till at length he only took What nature absolutely required. He tells us that at first he found this severe regimen very disagreeable, and confesses that he “relapsed from time to time to the flesh-pots of Egypt.” But by resuming his efforts after each failure he succeeded in less than a year in adopting permanently a spare and moderate system. By this time he was already restored to per- fect health. But thus far he had only fol- lowed the counsels of the physicians some- what more steadily than they expected, or than is usual in such cases, and therefore with unexpected good results. It was after he had recovered his health that he went on to those experiments by which he seemed to show how life may be extended far beyond the Psalmist‘s allowance. FROM TEMPERA‘SCE he proceeded to abstemiousness. Undeter- red by the doubt of his physicians as to the wisdom of such a. course, he diminished his daily allowance of food until at last the yelk of an egg sufficed him for a. meal! Throughout the time when he was thus re- ducing his allowance of food his health and spirits kept improving. Nay, he tells us that even his enjoyment in eating had in- creased ; for he says he could now get more pleasure from a. small meal of dry bread than he had ever obtained in the days of his excesses from the most exquisite dainties of the tab‘e. As regards regimen, Cornaro simply “ avoided extremes of heat and cold, over-fatigue, late hours, sexual excesses and all violent passions of the mind ;” he took modest exercise in the open air; and his chief pleasures were those obtained from literary nd artistic study, from the con- templat' of fine scenery, noble buildings, beautiful combinations of colours, and sweet music. W hen Cornaro was within two years of : four-score his diet was regulated, in quality and quantity, as follows :â€"In four meals he took each day twelve ounces in all of solid food, consisting of bread (stale, of course, ‘ for he was not weak-minded). light meat, yelk of egg and soup; of liquid food other than pure water he took fourteen ounces of light wine. Thus his solid food, equally divided among four meals, amounted to only three ounces per meal, while he took per meal about three and one-half ounces, or as nearly as possible one-third of a tumbler full of claret or some other wine of the kind. IT MUST BE NOTED, however, that this extreme abstemiousness, ‘ as well as the special nature of the food, solid and liquid, consumed by Cornaro, must be regarded as actually essential parts of his experience so far as longevity is concerned. \Ve may reasonably attribute his exceeding sensitiveness in regard to food to peculiari- ties of constitution. ’He tells us that his medical friends, deeming his allowance too small, urged him to add two ounces daily to his solid and as many to his liquid food, a change which he adopted for awhile, but had ‘ presently to discontinue because his vivacity was destroyed, and he was becoming peevish and melancholy. But this, while it shows that Cornaro was exceptionally sensitive and had probably a very weak constitution, only strengthens the evidence which his case sup- plies as to the advantage of temperance and ‘even abstemiousness. If one so weak could W T0 HAVE LUNG live the life of a very strong and hearty man merely by reducing his food to what many would call “starvation poipt,” “that (980nm as there must be in mi abstemious life for those of strong constitutions who shortened their lives by whnt most men call simply full and generous living. Comarn wrote his treatise, “ The Advan- tages of a Temperate life," adding later three other discourses on the same subject. His fourth and last diszonrse, which ap‘ peered in a letter addressed to Barbara, Pa- tl‘izu‘ch of Aquileia, was written at the age of 95. in this he says “ he finds himself in possession of health and vigor, and in per- fect command of all his faculties.” Accord- ing to some accounts, Cornaro lived to the age of 104, which Addison seems to have believed, for he says that, “ having passed his hundredth year, Cornaro died without pain or agony, and like one who falls asleep.” But comparing Cornaro’s remarks in his discourse with the best information we have up to the time of his death, which appears to have occurred in 1366, it would seem that he was either in his 99511 or 100th year when he died. H: w much Cornaro’s nbstemions and as. cetic ways must have had to do with his re- markable vitality may be inferred from the fact that having, when 70 years old, met with a terrible accident. by which his head and body were battered and n leg and an arm dislocated, he recoveredâ€"though the physicians had pronounced his injuries fatal â€"-almost without medical treatment, and without any feverish symptoms. The proposed evictions on the Ponsanby estates have been abandoned under the pro- visions of the Land Act. Twentyvsix of the Ponsonby tenants are protected and cannot be evicted. The newspapers 8,11 agree that the mobil- isiug experiment is a success. They say that if France had been in such a condition for war in 1870 as she is now Germany would have found her match. The man who robbed the safe in the office of the Credit Mobilier of 125,000 francs has been arrested. He is a. clerk employed in the office. He returned after the office was closed on Saturday evening, and obtained the keys of the safe. It is stated that in an interview with the President of the Swiss Confederation, M. Rouvier, the French Premier. made a pro- position relative to S wiss occupation of neu- tralized Savoy in the event of war between France and Italy. At the meeting of the Bank of British North America. held in London, on Tuesday last), Mr. Hoare who was in the chair, saw the directors were well satisfied with the profits earned by the bank during the half year ending in June last. .Av“. 1 . ., J Messrs Dillon and O'Brien have signed a. notice calling a convention of delegates from all the League branches in Limerick Coun- ty, to meet at Limerick and arrange a. plan for raising a. fund in aid of evicted tenants and to counteract the landlords’ efforts at extermination. An official note issued by the Brazilian Legation indicates an intention on the part of the Brazilian Government to suppress an attempt made under the auspices of French~ men in Guiana. to found a. republic in the neutral territory of Counani, between Brazil and Guiana. A report was current in the lobbies of the British House of Commons, a few days ago, that the Pacific as well as the Atlantic question would be submitted to the Fisheries Commissionâ€"that ended the Com» missioners would consider all outstanding fishery questions between Canada. and the United States.

Russia. plainly says that should Abr dur Rahman, Ameer 0f Afgenistan, die 0- be upset, the protocols of the Afghan fron~ tier commission just completed will be de- stroyed, as the obligations of Englandto Af- ghanistan remain valid only so long as the present Ameer continues to reign. The Russian concentration on the northern fron- tier of Afghanistan aims at the occupation of Herat, and such a. step by Russia. will force the British Government to occupy Candshar and Cabul. A considerable force of English troops has been concentrated on the Afghan frontier, in preparation for such a. contingency, and the question Whether there are not parts of Central Asia. in which there is no room for two powers at the same time will then have to be decided. The following semi-official statement is made public :â€"The flight of Ayoub Khan does not alter the relations existing between the Russians and the Afghans. The Russian Government had nothing to do with Ayoub’s flight and does not feel called upen to con- cern herself with internal complications. It is not likely that Ayoub’s escape will cause fresh difliculties between England and Rus- sia, both of those Governments, when set- tling the Russo-Afghan (frontiers, having adopted a. solid ethnographic basis, partly guided by Turcoman and Afghan traditions. The arrangement is a durable one, and was established in such a manner that there re- mains no trace of dissatisfaction nor pretext for ulterior claims on either side. No incident like the flight of Ayoub can revive the difference, which the two Powers desir- ‘ ed to settle once for all. Henry Chapman, living three m1 ea snutm east of Mouton, was sick Wednesday and his daughter, Mrs. J. \Vatterson, who lives with her husband about forty rods in direct line through the woods from Chapman’s house, was there helping take care of him. About 4 p. In. another daughter, Mary Chapman, about 17 years old, and strong and healthy, started on the path through the woods for \Vatterson’s home to do a. few chores for her sister. When about three- quarters of the way over she was met by a. man, who stopped her and said : “ I have a. grudge against your Whole family and in- " tend to kill all of you E” The girl ran, and as she reached the house the villain caught her and attempted to stab her with a. dirk. She broke from him and snatching up an unloaded gun which hung on the wall pre- sented it at him as with dirk in hand he followed her into the house. She snapped the gun at him. He turned and fled for the woods. Up to the present time he has not been found, though parties are scouring the country in all directions. GENE RAH. NEWS.
