was political, not commercial. But in either case
it is disgraceful to our country.
Cuba is the slave mart. Slaves pay, and Cubans
grow rich. How, is the trade to be stopped ?

VIRGINIA BIRD EYE,

IMPORTANT DEMONSTRATION IN THE
FRENCH SENATE.

LATAIUA,

On the Budget being brought up for discussion on
'Wednesday, the Committee declared, by a majority of ten
to four, that they could not examine a peace budget in
the preience of demonstrations, on all sides, that a war
budget would be required. Thev pointed out, moreover,
that it would k,e ridiculous to take the proposed figures
into consideration, when the expenses already incurred
had caused 'file requirements of the Government consider-
ably to exceed the amounts demanded, and also that,
as representing the views and 'interests of the
nation, they did not see -sufficient motives
for France to be committed to the immense sacrifice
apparently contemplated. They therefore resolved to
await explanations from the Government, and although
the niiaority then proposed an amendment to the effect
that'the Government might neveitheless aid the national
honour, should it be required, and count upon the
asilistanee of the Chamber. It was forthwith rejected,
thecommittee persisting resolutely in their original vote.

THE 'CItINOLIVE QUESTION. The probable -conse-
quences of some .of these freaks of fashion. seem to be
utterly ignored. Yet some time ago an eminent doctor
stated that lre,h-xl never known or read of so racily cases
of tic, or neuralgic affections of the head and face, as
had come under his notice amongst his female .patients
since the .reign of small bonnets commenced. To the
insufient,.covering allotted to the head he attributed
the rapid spread of an agonising disease, *nd te further
asserted that •the rapid spread of this pernicious fashion
will not end with the wearers of infinitesiimal bonnets,
but will be.handed down to their offspring.. Sir summer
crinoline and hoops were lauded by the fair sex as com-
fortable, !because they prevented the clinging ,of the dress,
and kept 4 the person cool. Now the argusnent which
was in favour of the fashion then, must at this season be
a powerfirl one against it, and doctors hint at rheumatism
as a 'consequence of wearing the above-named garments.
However, if the fair sex have a mind to brave the
discomfort of hoops and despise the ridicule hurled
against,then on all sides, let me advise them to wear
sufficiently warm clothing below their crinoline to pre-
vent theiressibility of physical injury.—,Englishwoman's
