PARIS WORKMEN,

"A. B." writes to The Times:—" When in Paris a
few days ago I had some conversation with an employer
of labour, paying about £2OO a !week in wages, that
may interest the English public, if you will repeat its
substance. In spite of heavy taxation, dear provisions,
and heavy rents, the workmen, he assured me, were
gene:ally prosperous. They had become more labo-
rious, steadier, took few holydays, preferstd cafes
to wine shops, dremsed better, generally lived happier
with their wives and families, were saving money,
and had few disputes with their masters. Alto-
gether, he said, there was substantial improvement
in their work, in their habits of life, in their
manners, in their relations with their employers, and
in their intercourse with each other. They had
entire confidence in the success of the Republic, were
i
inclined to place confidence n the President and his
Ministers, especially in Monsieur Marcere, the Home
Minister, were all in favour of peace for the present,
and took nyiich more interest in domestic than in
foreign affairs. The change, he added, was great and
wonderful; his men relied on him, and he had every
reason to be satisfied with them. Bat, though indus-
trious, they would not work beyond ten hours a
day. To that, however, he did not object. I was
further assured that the establishment of drinking
fountains had naturally diminished wine and spirit
drinking, and that wine shops were suffering. The
mistress of a large shop also told me that there could
be no doubt that, in her sphere of life religion was
making progress, and though she sold chaplets of
Lourdes, it was not, she aided, superstitious. Attend-
ance at public worship was, she explained, difficult for
women, to whom the service of shops fell so heavily. '

On Tuesday morning Lord Napier, of Magdala,
landed at Gibraltar, and was sworn In as Governor of the
place. lie was saluted by the Channel Fleet as he stepped
on shore.
The St. Petersburg gazette says that a war between
Russia and Austria is "evidently inevitable." Russia "cannot
remain passive when the reactionist diplomacy of Austro-
Ilungsry opposes its veto to the demands o r the Slays on the
Balkan for freedom and independence. The chief points to
be considered would be the attitude of England and of Ger-
many. As to England, she is at present in no way dangerous
to Russia The alliance of Germany could hardly be reckoned
upon by Russia in the event of a collision with Austria; but
we do not particularly require German aid. Austria does
not in the least terrify us, and 11 Germany will only remain
neutral, as Russia did in 1E135, 1870, and 1871, we do not re-
quire any more assistance from her. If We are to make war,
toe present is the mast favourable moment for doing so.
Never was Russian society or the Russian people so enthu-
siastic and united in its aims. We should, therefore, not
avoid war, but declare it, and thereby free Russia and

THE MINERS AND THE WAGES QUESTION.

A well-attended meeting of miners was held at
the New Inn, High Street, Brierley Hill, on Tues-
day evening, to consider the wages question. Mr.
W. Pargeter presided, and addresses were delivered
by Messrs. Southall and Watts, district secretary.
The speakers urged the necessity, by combined
action on the part of the miners of the district, as
the wages now earned were insufficient to provide
their families with the common necessaries of life.
It was resolved, "That it is the unanimous opinion
of this meeting that the time has now arrived for
employers to use just and proper means to raise
the wages of coal miners." A vote of thanks to
chairman closed the proceedings.

most ignorant classes of the -people, within _Je peat
five years, and so far the country is better prepared to
resist a smallpox epidemic; but re-vaccination has
never been resorted to, except under the terror of sur-
rounding deaths, and this great preventive measure
remains to be applied on a large scale.
Isolation and re-vaccination cover the whole ground
upon which the science of modern medicine declares
battle against smallpox. Re-vaccination is not an
infallible preventitive, but practically, it is a quite
sufficient insurance of a man's life against the ordinary
chances of contagion. The following piece of evidence
is almost conclusive upon this point :—" All the eight
deaths from smallpox that occurred in the two Metro-
politan Asylum District Smallpox Hospitals were =-
vaccinated eases, although the vaccinated patients under
treatment were nearly as 5 to 1 unvaccinated." But
were vaccination enforced, or generally resorted to
without compulsion, the record would be very different,
for the conditions would be wholly altered. If it
were generally understood that a disease so dangerous
and so loathsome as smallpox could be warded off in
all cases, save, perhaps, one in a thousand, by a
repetition of vaccination after adolescence, the practice
surely would become as common as that of infantile
vaccination is now. Personal cleanliness, about which
most educated Englishmen are so scrupulous, is mueh
more troublesome than the practice of re-vaccination,
and we do not despair of seeing it considered as dis.
creditable to make one's person a possible centre of
contagion as to be defective in the perceptible essen-
tials of personal decency. at.,

A VIRULENT HORSE DISEASE. I
'the Pannst having maintained the opinion that the
virulent horse disease of Egypt was a form of anthra•
coid disease—anthrax being a carbuncle, or something
like it—points out that the plague of " blains," recorded
in the Old Testament, is generally believed to have been
anthrax, and this disease has, from the very earliest
i periods, been a great scourge n the East. Accounts of
the disease imported into Egypt by the cavalry horses
returoed from Abyssinia do not state with sufficient
prmislon the specific symptoms characteristic of the
malady to unable us to determine its exact nature;
but if it is as our agricultural contemporary suggests,
two of the plagues of Egypt are being revived. The
fifth, which was a murrain upon the cattle,
the horses, the asses, the camels, and the sheep,
was not stayed, but developed into the " blains " upon
man and beast. The Veterinary Review, suggesting an
alternative, knows of no contagious disorder, save one,
which spreads as this has done among solipeds; and
that is acute glanders—the scourge of troop horses on
active service. This malady prevailed to some extent
among the horses and mules employed in our own
Abyssinian campaign • and a number of infected
animals were even sent from Abyssinia to India after
• the war was terminated. Whichever of these views is
correct the result seems to be that Egypt will be left
without horses, to say nothing of men and other ani-
mals, for where the plague is said to be decreasing
the reason given is the death of all the horses.—Evening
Standard.

THE STATE OF TRADE.

It is unquestionably a fact that trade of almost
every desoription in the United Kingdom is at the
present moment in a very depressed condition (remarks
the Evening Standard). But those who describe the
depression as unparalleled labour under a misappre-
hension. Although English exports last year reached
a total they had never reached previously—except in
the three immediately preceding years, 1872-3-4--the
the pessimists affect to believe that we can hope for no
recovery in trade for a long period. The fact is how-
ever, that we are only suffering from two phases of
reaction—the first a reaction from the extreme specu-
lative tendencies of some years ago, and the second a
reaction in those branches of commerce which are not
speculative, and in which England has had a run of
almost unexampled prosperity. It is quiet true that
our export trade is still on the decline, but even now
it is of such magnitude as would have astonished com-
mercial men of twenty years ago. There are some
manufactures produced by inflation; and these may be
expected to decline or succumb at stated periods. At the
present moment the country is producing more than it
can readily dispose of; but we have no reason to sup-
pose that this condition of things will be permanent.
Our imports have nJt decreased—a sure proof that the
country is at any rate not deficient in wealth; and we
can only wait for the turn of the tide in other respects.
Spasmodic changes are what we have every right to
expect in a country where every interest is strained to
Its utmost tension. The total value of imports into
the United Kingdom during the year 1875 was never
'equalled, and our export trade necessarily suffers by
comparison. We may be compelled to witness a still
further reduction in the latter trade before a reaction
sets In; but when the Continent becomes in a more
settled condition there will be an immediate rise in the
demand for many products of British industry. We
are just now passing through that hour before the
dawn when our commercial interests assume their
darkest complexion.

BODILY WEIGHT AND NUTRITION.
Professor C. Volt, in a lecture at the Public Health Con-
gress held at Munich, remarked :

"The weight of the body has often been assumed as
an infallible proof of the maintenance of the conition
of the body, or of a deposition of tissue, and the food
which keeps up a man's weight has been regarded
as on that account satisfactorily nutritious. But the
weight of the body is no criterion of the value of the
food taken, because while the weight remains constant,
or even increases, water may increase in the tissues
and albumen and fat diminish; or there may be an
increase of weight and deposition at fat, while
there is also at the same time a diminution of the
albumen of the body. Badly nourished people are
usually not lighter than others, but their bodies con-
tain more water and less albumen and fat than those
who are well nourished. Every cattle-feeder knows
that cattle which are being fattened do not at first
increase in weight proportionately to the food they
take. And yet people commonly regard weight as of
great importance in the case of men, though a butcher
will not buy a carcass on the merits of its weight
alone; he must know the quality of the meat. The
subjective feeling of satisfaction is equally deceptive.
The Irish peasant who consumes ten pounds of pota-
toes in the day, feel quite satisfied, and yet is badly
nourished. The bad effects of an improper dietary are
often seen only after a considerable period has
elapsed."

A SINGULAR DELUSION.

•
In London, about seven p.m. on the evening of
Saturday (says The Times), a well-dressed woman
spoke to a constable on duty at Old-street Station
and told him that she tad a most important com-
munication to make. She was taken to Mr. Inspector
Peel, when she said that she had committed a most
heinous offence and knew that she must pay the
extreme penalty of the law and die for it. She then
proceeded to say that her name was Taite, and that
she was superintendent night-nurse at the Shoreditch
Workhouse, Kingsland-road ; that she was jealous of
the matron, a Mrs. Mays, and for a long time
past had entertained a feeling of revei3ge ; that about
four o'clock in the afternoon of that day the matron
entered her ward, when Taite knocked her down,
and she was stunned by the fall. After this she
obtained a razor, which had for a long time
been Carefully concealed, and cut the matron's throat
from ear to ear, after which she wrapped the body up
in the bed clothes and concealed it under the .bed.
Inspector Peel then questioned her, and she replied
that, after she had hid the body, a feeling of remorse
came over her. She knew that the absence of the
matron would be noticed, a search made, and every:
thing known; so she got a pass for leave, and intended
Aug to make her escape, but afterwards thought
.ftere would be so chance of success and that she had
better give herself up to the police. Her demeanour
and the production of a pocket-handkerchief covered
with blood led to a supposition that some grave
matter was at the bottom of the affair. The self.
accused was detained and left in the charge of the de-
tective officers, while Mr. Acting Superintendent
Harnett and Inspector Peel proceeded to the Shoreditch
Workhouse and made inquiries. They found Mrs. Mays
living and quite well, inquired about the nurse Taite,
and went to her room. Inspector Peel with great
difficulty, got through a small window and found
the apartment in the greatest disorder. After getting
the door open the officers commenced a search; they
found the bed stripped of the clothes, and under the
bedstead a long bundle; they got this out and upo,
opening it discovered a bolster, but no human boe
The officers then returned to the police station
had the woman Taite examined by a surgeon.
declined to state whether she was suffering
insanity or not, and therefore she was sent back to
workhouse in charge of two detectives, with instrue
to the master and matron to have her placed
special supervision.

AN INTERESTING CEREMONY.

The Correspondent of the Daily News gives the following
account of the coronation of a RosiZre at Inteaux, and which
presented some very novel features :

Mademoiselle Hummel, the new Rose Queen, is
twenty.eight years old, and as she is a Protestant the
ceremony of placing on her head the traditional
wreath and giving her a purse filled with gold
coins was purely civil. It took place at the
Mayoralty in the presence of the Municipal
Council and of a large and highly respectable
assembly, which followed the RosiZze and her
family from the Reformed Temple. M. Toeschanel,
Deputy of the Arrondissement, presided, and de-
livered a lecture replete with charming atticisms
on the role of women in the household and in society.
The only limit he would place on their claim to equal
rights was the consciousness each woman has of what
she can beat do. It was complained that women con-
spired with the priests against civil and religious
liberty. The reason was that they were flattered by
the clergy, and ignored, so far as was possible, by the
Legislature, Madame Francillon, the godmother,

STOURBRIDGE CRICKET, QUOIT, AND
BOWLING CLUB.

ON

The annual dinner in connection with the above
club took place on Monday night, at the Mitre
Hotel, High Street, when upwards of 30 gentle-
men sat down to a most sumptuous repast served
up in first-class style by the worthy host and
hostess.

The chair was occupied by Mr. Lont,o.ville
Firmstone, and the vice-chair by Mr. Charleg
Rodgers.

.h-istice having beck done to the good things
provided, the usual loyal toast were drunk,
After which Mr. 11. J. Bird sang a capital
8011 g.

nexttoa,st was "Success to the Stourbridge
Cricket, Quoit, and Bowling Club" coupled with
the name of the Secretary, Mr. S. Field.
The Secretary, in responding, gave a brief
account of the position of the club this year as
compared with former yi ars, and in doing so, said
it Wa3 a source of delight to him to be able to say
that the club at the present time was in a far
better position than it had been for the past 10
or 15 years, and that was, doubtless, owing to the
manner in which the officers had worked so
amicably together and had all striven hard for the
benefit of the club. During the season they had
