It really begins to 164, as though the. number of Anieribans who: "board" in[ foreign countries was about to be greatly reduced at no distant :future day. ;A&4s` well known there are - A,Merican celonies: at this time in all the p4neipal European, cities, but a great many of the memberl'El, .thereof have lately fdrind themselves af-1 feeted by the hard time* that haVe ed in America since, the - fall of .1873. There are many American, 'families who have been accustomed to spend - all the; way from ten to,fifty thousand per annum abroad,. who have recently found theni-, selves in the crutches.'of necessity if ,liot absolute poverty. , ~• It is even stated as a—fact that many' hitherto lavish squanderers Of wealth on foreign shores cannot ~tiren, get, back home without the charitable aid of some of their more fortunate ;fellow boarders abroad. - Even when ' they get-backkhome they are no better off ,than if, : they; _ Were to stay Abroad, as. the` sources of their former revenues have been. exhausted by neglect and fast living 'in foreign coun triei'combined. Owing to a combination Of various and often diverse reasons, the cost of living abroad has - been largely in creased in the past four. or. five , years, while. the means of the tourists have been deniidished even to a greater de gree. _ But the lavish expenditure of money has no doubt been. the controlling reason. Nearly all of - our people whO go abroad seem to be seized of a disposition to spend money in-the Most lavish and reckless manner, no Matter' how slender their. actual resource, or by what' hardship they earned heir money. Cheapness, as it wasknown to exist some yearsago is no whereto be found. The American sojourners have bulled .the market, so to Speak, and all the European tradeemen want to sell at American prices. , The expenses of living ,have suddenly run up to a high .figtire:and the - expenses of dying, too, have, been greatlY enhanc ed., Mr. Bidwell; the British Consul at the Balearic.

He says that whereas. London was formerly accounted the moat ruinous ,place in Europe of point of *living expenses, St. Petersburg at present enjoys that lofty pre-eminence. The cost , of in the latter Capital has gone up seventy-five per cent. since 1858. An unfurnished bacheloni apartment rents for $750, and s furnished room' in the_ top story of a hotel is $950. And gentleman's clothing is some seventy-five per :cent. dearer than it is in London. - In France the situation is no better; bat still worieln' fact.. The rise since 1858 id entirely without precedent.' --At Bordeaux, a $4OO rent in 1858 is now $800; carriage hire that was $3 is now $5:; meat that was 12 cents per pound is now 20 and 25 cents. At Brest, rooms . have in the , same time 'sone up.from $3- 00 to $5OO.

Mr. COx;re Bards the refusal of Congress to Make appropriatiOlis for the army,.as courageous act of lasteessioq. He, think:\ it was good thing Eo let the cabieet as well-as -the officers, ,MilitarY and civil, know that there is a power greater than a secretary of - .or commander-in-chief in the popular branch ot_the American Congress. In regard to extra session he says the army appropriations will-eaS 7 ily_keep until October. The army might, be dispensed with altogether if tberii-were Indian'iyitem like , that of .Oanada. Mr., Cog calls attention to the coincidence that the extra session comes ` immediately after the Ohio election.

The recruits it will bring will beiti.propor- . tion to the grub and rations. ; Of the ef fort to effect a republican cii.ganization there n ever was, according to Mr Cox, "a more nebulous idea."
