The great speech of Senator M."VVY Ransom

press of? other .States. -They are filled with
extracts from it, and the fact that each piper we
peruse copies' different portions, is evidence of
the force and beant3r of tlie whole.

that could be adduced to show that there is no

Mr. President, there was not a soldier in tho

that grand impersonation of courage, dignity,

age of a Soldier's' resjxict. It was my fortune
at Appomattox Court-house to see General Lee

never fade from my memory. I sec them now as
they then stood. I remember both the one for
his majestic serenity under defeat, the other for
his quiet magnanimity in victory; qualities
which, if (exercised by the American ieople

j THE DEBTS OF THE WORLD.
We endeavored nearlytwo years' ago to give
inthese columns an approximate! estimate of
the national debts of tlie worhl. We conclud
ed on that occsision that the indebtedness of the
world might lie placed at about 1,200.000,000.
During the 'two years which have passed since
then there is good reason to believe that a large
addition Jws been juade to this j sum. New
countries and old countries vie with each other
in the money markets of Europe, and even Chi
na has within the last few week commenced a
national debt. There is considerable difficulty
iniascertaining the-liabilities of the various na
tions which are thus heavily indebted. Tho
annual almanacs give "us some assistance on the
subject, and the careful information which the
Economist publishes in the "Investor' Man

!A Frenchman on a visit to New York writes
to his ia per in Paris tlie following account of
the hotels in tliat city. The description will
answer for tho hotels of any large city iu tho
United States. , The writer says: Evcrylxnly
knows what is to Ikj found in the hotels with
monumental frontage and a thousand rooms.
They have every whvro grand stiirs, cottly' car
pets, bath rooms on every floor, luxurious dining-rooms,
elevators for travelers, for luggage,
for servants, private or public drawing-rooms,
and elegant bourdoirs for ladies. Nothing has
lcen forgotten not even tho special chamlcr
for newly married people " tho wedding
room." Cold and hot water are driven ur to
the smallest nooks. Gas is everywhere. The
vexatious tax of the wax candle, familiar to
European continental hotels, is unknown. There
is the office where you can procure a railroad
or steamboat ticket; there tlie barber-shop, the
paper or cigar stand ; there the dealer in fancy
articles, the jeweler, the druggest, tho tailor,
the hatter they belong to tho hotel. As for
tho bar-room, it is gorgeous andalwavs crowd
ed, and next to it is a spacious hall with a half
dozen billiard tables.
!From five o'clock in the morning until mid
night there is feeding, unceasingly and on a
large scale; breakfast, luncheon, dinner, tea,
supNr, at regular hours and in regular order.
You may eat tire meals a day, sit five times at a
table, and without feeling ashamed, for there
arc many who do it. '
From a bill of fare, longer than that of any res

Idease; yon aro not limited nor charged extra,
hit the style of cooking will disappoint yon,
and also the manner of serving. All the dish

according to your taste you are confronted by
a whole laboratory of sauces and spices. The
head cook is probably French, but he has left
the good traditions Ivnhind. He has to adapt
himself to new requirements, and draws a sal
ary as large as tliat of a mini iter, as much as
2,000 francs a month.
It is necessary to comply with tho discipline
of the establishment, and to feel disposed to eat
certain things only at certain hours. The un
