The City of Monstrous Debt.

The debt of Paris Is notorious, and it U ever growing. At the present moment the Municipal Council ia face to face with th« problem of how to meet a deficit oa thlt .year's Budget of£4Bo 000. It la not for nothing that one lives in the moat agree able city in Europe, end the ratepayers are already taxed to the hilt. The resol* is that for the necessities of life prices art almost double those of London. Aa to the debt of Paris, it stands at the present moment, aoeording to the figures ef It. Oaron, at £80.C00.000 sterling. The oaf* of the poor in Parle, which is known bf the name of the Assistance Pabllque, while it may gratify socialists ideals, It extremely expensive, and there art accusations that It is often Improperly administered, in the sense tha. tha undeserving are relieved, and that tha really deserving are sent empty away, or 'kept an'unconscionable time waiting. Paris spends over a million a year on her poor, and each year the area of her operations expands, Pauperization Is a weed of prodigious growth. It}, is quite certain that serious &teps will have to be taken to meet the financial situation. Meanwhile, the worthy gedlles as a body do not appear to be weighted by any grave sense of responsibility. There Is some* thing of the old joyous air of the Fleet that lingers about the Hotel de Ville—ln debt, but happy.— Poll Mall Gazette,

Ten Men Roasted to Death.

A gas explosion occurred at Pltsburg, at the Soho furnaces of Messrs Jones Jk Langhlins, ia which ten men were roasted to death and five injured, Jhree of whom are not expected to live. The men were at work on the top of the furnace, which j is 120 feet from the ground. They were' just preparing to leave, having been working on night duty, when gas which had accumulated in the furnace exploded. At this moment the men were standing on a small platform near the top of the furnace, and when the gas reached this all the men made a rush for the elevator. 1 But it had already descended. l?here was therefore no way to escape bub to I jump, which meano death, while to remain meant a doom no lees certain. Tons of molten metal, cinders, and slag rained upon the men on the platform, burning ten of them to death. The bodies dropped to the roof of a mill 85 feet below, charred and mutilated beyond recognition; Some of the bodies fell from the slippery roof to the ground.

Lord Wolseley's Memoirs

Lord Wolseey has been occupied during the past twelve months in writing his memoirs, which are now completed. Wf (Morning Post) understand that he will dwell with special emphasis on the period during which he occupied the position of Commander in Chief, and thab this book will be in the main an indictment of civilian control at the War Office. Before he became Commander in Chief, " Lord Wolseley wrote the preface to Colonel Henderson's 'Life of Stonewall Jackson, 1 in which he made remaiks to the same t-ffect. He could nob then speak freely, and his speeches at a later period In the House c f Lords, outspoken as they were, had to be toned down because of the office that he he'd. In tho memoirs Lord Woleeley will be able to speak freely, and we _<c informed that he nag taken full advantage ©f hia opportunity, and pro duced an indictment of the civilians at the War Office, written on the lines of his preface to Colonel Henderson's book and illustrated with many instances taksa from his own personal career.
