Aa Engllshmaa comlsg aver hara. or aa Americas returning after a spall in England, lads a goad deal of differs oca la material ways. And some of these are worth pointing ant, though they are af coarse well ksawa ta experts. It waa tba policy of Congress, declared some SO years ago, to retala the old English weights and measures, and from time te time slurs legislation baa proceeded npea tba same lines, having la view tba fact that astll af late nearly the whale af the trade af tbe United elates waa with Great Britain and bar colonies which use her alaadarda Much mure than balf our exports tttll goes to England, but Utile more tbaa one-sixth of our Imports comes from tbe old country. Coder tbeae i-tr-euua lauert tbe aid reaeoa for mala-talotng tbe same weights and measures as Eugland has lost much of lis force.

The United Mates maintain old measures which Euglaud baa lung givan up. Tbe most general measure In Britain used to be tha lncbenirr gallon, aad that gallon is ours to-day. England has adopted tbe Imperial gallun, which is one-fifth mora capacious than our, so if we speak of so many dolisrt a gallon we do nut tneuu so many dollars for the same quantity as a gisl-loa In England. Tbe United elates or Wlnolioe-ter gallon la 0. 833 11 parts ef an English gallon.

Thus, If we are buying Irish whisky or English beer, sod buy at a cert sin price per gallon. It is worth while to buy In England or Ireland, for we get more tbaa ltf per cent, extra la quantity than If we bought here fur tbe same price per gallon. euppoe ao Englishman buys bottled claret by tbe gallon at or 97 W. he gets alx bottles for bis money; but buying the like wine here In tbe same way be should only get five bottlee for the equivalent amount of money, or worth In reality. It la well, theo, to remember wbat few do remember tbat the United elates gallon Is one of five ordinary wine bottles, while the English gallon ountaine six wine bottles.

But In eorn measures there Is also a difference. Aa Eugllabmau buys so many thousand bushels of wheat, or what ha calls mslxe or Indian corn, and he akpects tn get In eerh bushel im- Eerlal measure. But this la not what tbe vendor are Intends to give him. Tbe vendor menus to sell by tbe V. incheiter bushel, which Is about 3 per cent, laaa than the impertal bushel, and would have, to eene up to tbe Englishman's expectations, to give 3 busbels forevery 33 which he calculated ou giving.

Bo a crop sold to an Englishman brings tbe United states farmer. If be sells direct. 3 per cent. les than be estimated. Of course this Is not the way trade Is done, but at the same time both parties are liable to error, owing to tbe aame names mesnlng different things.

It Is the more confusing twos use our unaaures of length and area and solid contents, our measures of time, and, up to a pouud, our svoimupois or common and troy weights, are Identieat wltb those of England. There Is In Great Britain a strong movement Just at present for tbe shnpllUcatlou of the coinage. It la not proposed now, a it formerly was, to adopt the nietrto system, whether it be tbat of France or America. All that is asked Is tbat crown and half crown pieces shall be ruled out and four-shilling pieces, to be called dollars, made, representing tba firth of a pound sterling or sovereign. Then tba coins would be of the value of 20., 10., 4a, and 6d.

In the lower denominations tbe fouriwnny and threepenny pieces would be abolished sod tbelr plai'e taken by a nickel 'i ad representing not but 2 or tbe one hundredth part of a ov-e reign. Half a nickel would be near enough te a penny, and there wonld be a one-cent piece to represent not a halfpenny, but Ihree Hfihg of a rwjnny. Tbus there would be an assimilation to tbe German monetary system, of which tbe mark, value Is multiplied Into the twenty-mark piece, value 10s. and, diminished Into pfennigs, two of wbiob would, on the proposed plan, be equivalent to or four to Id. tbat la, be equal to tbe English farthing.

The advantages of tbls scheme are tbat it would retain In use the sovereign, balf sovereign, florin, shilling, sixpence, while only now farthings, balf pennies, pennies, and nickels. In copper and white would be needed, and aa tba oust of these would represent nothing like their lace value, the conversion could be made after due notice without lnconventeuoa and actually at a profit to the Stale. When It Is done tbe Legislature Is all but certain to enact that the hundredweight shall be lOO pouuda and tbe ton 2.000 pounds, thus assimilating tbe British weights to thoae In Canada and tbe United States. If there be any longer any ground for maintaining tbe old srgumeut which heretofore influenced Congress that it ts for ibe well being of trade to bare weights and meamires Identical with those of Great Britain, It might be won while to keep an eye on tbe impending oban get tn England, and tbe question would arise whether our gallon should not be as-slmllated to the English gallon aud our bushel to tbe Imperial bushel. It Is beyond doubt tbat an effort will be made In Britain before long to procure the enactment of Sir Boyle Roche's 4deal that "every quart bottle aball bold a quart" In England a wine quart bulda but two-third of a quart, and here only four-nftbs of a smaller quart.

And after all, tbe proposal made tn the Irish Parliament that a quart bottle should bold a quart is logical and acuslble, however bullish It may appear. There may lie reasons for keeping our gallon as it is, but tbara caa be no reason In England for having six quarts to tbe gallon or In America having Ave to the gallon, teeing a quart has no meaulug If II Is not tbe quarter of a gallon.

If lb sufferer orders a eab, he must sit upright on his journey, and a simple fracture Is likely to become a com pouud one before he can get to a hospital. Dr. Mac btel prepared a paper on the-Amrrlcan amoulance aysiem, aud read Hoeforethe Preach Academy ot Mediclue In November, 1S0.

A omiuiiieo-pf leading physicians was appointed to tuquire into tue maiter. and reported favorably upon tue project. Their report was supp.e-meuted by an aoeal from the Academy to the Minister or tbe Interior, praying tbat the American system be started lu Parts as soon a possible. In the course of Its official travels tbe a p. Ial, approved by the Minister, waa laid before the Board of Health.

The Prefet of Police, who Is lis President in wltb tbe idea, but wanted to improve upou it. He proposed the ereotiou of 3 BO small buildings, at each ot which an officer should be statioued and from which alarms fur accidents should be sent out. In vain Dr. Nacbtel urged that lha alarms in use hare would be sufficient, aud the Prefet a plau straugled tbe project by the expense Involved. Dr.

Natcbtrl pluckliy set out to do his work over again. In turee years he was rewarded by a decret from the Muulcipal Council authorizing tbe ambulance system and directing that two hospitals be selected and provided wit arubulaucea to give tbe system a trial. Then tba old question or expense was revived, aud for a year the suldect drooped lu olbclal circles. Then tbe doctor addressed letters to the druggist in the most populous part ot Paris, asking 11 they would allow aluriu boxes to lie put up In their stores. He got favorable ntplies fioiu enough for a fair trial, aud again moved upon the official bulwarks.

At every turn a bounier of red tape blocked the way. Nearl.r five year bad passed, and despairing of living 'long euough to overcome the obstacles. Dr. fiacblel resolved to try to gain his end by private means. He gathered 150 of the best signatures in Purls from social, scientific, political, professional, and business valks.

and then organized a society. Jules 8ltnon, tbe former Prime Minister, necatne its President, and among the others who Interested themselves lu it were Alexandre Dumas, Marquis de Masaa, Couite Alau de Montgomery, Prince da Sagan, Gen. Boulanger. Louis Pasteur, Duo do Bruglie, Arsene Hoiisaaye, Admiral Peyron. Ernest Kenan, Leon Say.

and Allien Wolff; To raise funds annual balls have been given since 1885. which have netted aliout 10,000, Meanwhile Dr. Nacbtel has uot neglected the officials. He won tbe Minister of Postal Telegraphs so completely to his side tbat be offered free use of underground conduits for the alarm wires ror three years relit free, thus removing a tax of but is needed to start tbe system even in one quarter of the clly. and as tbe doctor bad devoted seven years of bis time to raising half of tbat sum, lie decided to come here and try to raise tbe other half.

In this purpose Dr. Nacbtel was wcouned by Americans In Paris, wbo assured him that tbe pe ople of New-York would be giad to aid blm. not merely be-causo of the humanitarian plea he makes, but in discharge of a small part uf their obligation to the people of Parts. As the doctor la a naturalized American, bis mission, if successful, will evoke grateful expressions from tbe French to Americana. 8o far his expectations have been more than mat.

and subscriptions bav been tendered before be was- ready for them. He wunta tho money to pass through a committee here to tha Frencu committee in Parts. The committee has aot yet been fully organized, but the following gentlemen have consented to serve oa It: Justice bamuel Blatchfurd, of tbe I'm ted Mates Supreme Court; Gen. Benjamin 11. Brewster, George Jones, President Holston, of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, and William Dors-beluier.

If Dr. Nacbtel can raise tbe required $10,000 in alx weeka be will have the American ambulance system at work in tbe moat populous quarter ot Paris before the end of the year. It will demonstrate Its superiority to any other method ao quickly tbat he baa no doubt the Paris authorities will soon provide tbe 1 .000,000 or more francs needed to exteud tbe system over the entire city.
