Rural Neto Yorker. The Philosopher's Stone. The eccentric but brilliant John Randolph once rose; sudden'y in the House of Representatives, and screamed out at the top of hisshrill voice, "Mr, icaker! Mr. Speaker! I have discovered the philosopher's stone. It is pay as you go!" John Randolph dropped many rich gems from his mouth, but never a richer one than that. "Fay as you go," and you need not dodge sher iffs and constables. "Fay as you go," and you can walk the streets with an erect back and a manly front, and have no fear of those you meet. You won t have tocrossthe street to avoid a dun, or look in- tently in a shop window, in order ; not to see a creditor.

From time to time the French journals furnish us with tragedies as singular as they are horrible, and the following is a lair specimen of them: Two partners in the wine trade were in financial difficulties, and many angry interviews occurred between the parties. Wishing to put an eir! to one of these scenes, E. Descazean was about to with draw from his partner's presence, when 31. Duploux, in a frenzy of passion, rushed upon him with a knife, and slabbed him in the side. The victim fell, and the assassin stabbed himself three or four times in the abdomen, lie then rushed ii)) stairs, opened the window, and after driving the knife up to the hilt through his left cheek, threw himself into the court.

After waiting a long time for her husband to come and claim hcr. she one day, as he rode by the camp, put herself in his way, when seeing he took no notice of her, she naively a-ked: "Why don't you eaten me?" The officer who had never seen her before, inquired what she meant, when she roundly told him she was his wi'c, and not at all pleased that he had not come for her. lie never claimed her, but she was regarded by her trilie as the white man's squaw, and at last accounts was still single and wait ing for her husband. The following statement is based on information fron official sources: I he aecoii ts of deneral Howard and his officers show a deficiency jot $11,000, though only a nial ! jwrtion is in the name of Howard J lie adds that lie lias a naiance 01 six thousand dollars which he is ... . .... 1... ... n, ..... ,.4K reauy 10 pa oei 10 un- iu n-i 0111- v ...1.. i.ip .1 jni i cers. .Nearly one halt tbe rtehcit 1 is chained to the account of a sun. ordinate formerly on duty in the vvesi. i.euers nave neeu receiveu from colored men who served in the army and navy, stating that they never received bounty, though in some cases accounts show to the contrary.

All agree that there has been some dis. j honesty on the part of subordinates though it is not believed that the defalcation will amount to as much as is generally supposed. President .Mac Mahon is reported as saying that the real government of France is now vested in a Min istry; that the only change which they will introduce will be to carry out the programme which the late Government proved itself incapab'e of doinsr; that it is directly against the interests of Italy to expel the Pope from his dominions, as it would array public opinion against 1 but it might become the signal for a European war, from which Italy has little to hope and everything to fear. - .
