who knew nothing about such as the inhabitants of
Kabylie ; and I am to witness the continuation of
the same system, in spite of the authorisation
which I have obtained for this purpose from the
highest quarters. I am not able, on account
of the obstacles which are thrown in
my way, to establish in Kabylie, at my
own cost, even simple houses for Sisterst
of Charity to distribute' to the natives who sough
them medicine an I alms. When the famine was
ravaging Algiers I made use of my right and ful-
filled my duty as bishop in taking charge of native
orphans, but I soon heard around me disquieting
words as to the future of my work. The silence
which you have observed in the Senate on a work
which bestows on both widows and orphans a suc-
cour four or five times larger than that given by the
State confirmed my susricion. But every doubt
ceased when I was informed that you had said, on
the occasion of the installation of the Freres de
Ben-Aknoun, that their work should only be tran-
sitory, that the orphans would be reclaimed after
the harvest by their respective tribes, and that they
could not be refused, adding, that in a few months the
orphanage should be closed that is to say,Monsieur le
Mar6chal that these children, fatherless and mother-
less, abandoned by all, and delivered up to death,
but rescued by him, thanks to the charity of the
bishops, the priests, and the Christians of France,
•xatched over at the peril of their lives by our
monks, by our nuns, many of whom attacked by
the typhus fever have fallen victims to their cha-
rity. Shall we have saved them, and saved them
at such a price, in order in a few months to deliver
them up, boys and girls, without protection or de-
fence, without parents, to the bestial passions of
their co-religionists? It would have been a thou-
sand times better to have left them to perish. This
is what your Excellency alleges to be necessary, but

it shall not be carried into effect without a solemn
protest from me having been heard in the Christian
world. To their fathers and mothers I would have
given them up without difficulty, but I am the
father, the protector of all these children, whose
fathers and mothers are dead. They belong to me,
because it was I who preserved the life that is in
Force alone shall drag them from

ienrb..

their asylums, and if they be thus dragged
words will rise from my heart as their
bishop which will direct against the authors of such
an outrage the indignation of all on earth who still
deserve the name of man and Christian.

Let me recapitulate. Your Excellency has di-
rected against me two accusations, and these two
charges will be the greatest honour of my life. The
one is to have been the first to have lifted, and,
according to you, a little too soon, the dark veil
which hides from the eyes the misfortunes of
Algiers. If this be a crime lam guilty of it, As
bishop I would not, and could not, witness without
appealing to the abundant succour of charity, the
frightful agony of so many victims.
The other charge is to have first exercised, and
then publicly in my last letter to have claimed,
a right which is mine, because it is a
right of the Church, a right belonging
to the truth, a right inscribed in our na-
tional laws, and because its exercise is now more
than every necessary for the welfare of Algiers. I
am speaking of the liberty of the Christian Aposto-
late, such as I have defined ; that it is to say (with-
out the use of force of any kind, and according to
the dictates of wisdom and prudence), the liberty of
exercising in regard to the Arabs the duties of
charity, of self-denial, and of the Christian priest-
hood. If this be a fault, Monsieur le Marechal, I
have committed it, and commit it still, in demand-
ing the liberty of the people in Algiers, and in de-
mauding it only, if it be necessary, as it exists in

heathen countries, at the risk and peril of those who
exercise and without protection of any kind
whatsover. 1 know. that 1 am demanding the
abolition of the system pursued up to this day i❑
Algiers, that I am demanding the overthrow of
those impassable barriers which separate us from

the Arabs, and the renunciation of the pressure put

upon them, in order to prevent them listening to
our voice. But the system, the abolition of which
I demand, to what has it not led us ? I knew all
the great, the enduring, the excellent things which
our army has done in these valleys, on these moun-
tains, where it has covered itself with glory ; but it
is not of the army nor of the military authority that
I am speaking, but of the administrative system
which regulates our relations with the Arabs. Po-
litically, we have just as many enemies in Algeria
now as at the time of its conquest. You, yourself,
Mousier le Marechal, declared to me our duty be-
fore the outbreak of the present famine, as a reason
for opposing every kind of Christian propagandism,

the danger of exciting Arab fanaticism, because
then, in case of a European war, we could not count
on the fidelity of twenty Arabs in the event
of an insurrection. Economically the Arab tribes
have been for five months a prey to famine, and
are ruined for years to come. Morally they have
acquired our vices without our goof qudities, and
they have shown themselves obstinately opposed to
every amelioration and every progress. Such is the
result of a domination of thirthy-eight years by
France—Christian France. Is it not enough to
make us renounce at last errors condemned by the
voice of men as by the voice of Goi ? Perhaps we
shall be compelled to make still further efforts,
but better to make a hundred efforts—
even the sacrifice of several years rather

than condemn France to roll for ever in the
void of this rock of Sisyphus, which will end by
crushing, if she does not give it a basis ; and this
basis is that on which she herself rests, and that is
Christian civilisation.

After a few more remarks of a personal character,

the Bishop brings this important letter on the state
of Algeria and its relation to France in regard to
the Church to a close.

CHAELES,
Archbishop of Algiers.

"On the Wing," written by the late Prince
Maximilian, has just been published. It gives the narra-
tive of his journey to Greece and Smyrna, in the autumn
of 1850, when in his 19th year, for ho was born in 1832,
and was but 35 years old when he met his tragic end.
The book is well written, giving a pleasant nar-
rative of a few happy months of poor Maximilian's
life. It shows quick observation, considerable culture,
and accomplishments, and leaves a favourable impression
on the reader of the kindliness of the late Mexican Em-
peror's nature. He writes without affectation, with all his
youthful admiration for beauty, and love of what was
noble and generous. His account of Srnryna forms the
liveliest chapters in the book, and he gives an interesting
description of the Court of Athens, where he was entertained
by the young and popular Queen in King Otho's absence.
Knowing the tragedy of Queretaro, the book is read with
a mournful interest, and it is curious to tracewife,
b
than
so careers
of those he so happily depicts. Otho died a fugitive from
his kingdom, and his joyous, blooming if
be-
loved by the Greeks, and whose charms captivated the
Austrian Prince, little anticipated the vale of sorrows
through which she was to walk, or the bandit's death in a
foreign land her guest was to die.

At the Blackburn Police-court, before Mr. James
Johnston, Mr. Win. Stones, and Mr. W. Codrington,
William and Harriet Thompson, man and wife, were
charged with cruelly ill-treating a boy, 9 years of age,
named William Hetry Dixbury, son of the female by her
first husband, by fastening him down in a wicker skep for
several hours on Saturday last. From the evidence, it seemed
that each of the prisoners had three children when they
were married a short time ago, the man being a carter,'
and the female an operative in a mill. From information
given to the police, Inspector Eastwood searched the
house on Saturday afternoon, and found four small
children by themselves, the oldest not more than seven
years. This boy was found upstairs in a back bedroom,
securely fastened down in a skep 14i inches deep,
25 inches long, and 18 inches wide. The lid was closed,
and the poor child had been in that cramped position
since half-past five o'clock that morning, nor had any food
Leen given to him. A blanket was in the bottom of the
basket, but the boy had no covering but his shirt. Ho
could neither stand, sit, nor lie in a comfortable position,
and appeared exhausted to the officer when released. He
had been confined in a similar way for some hours on
Friday, but managed to get out on that day. The state-
ments of the lad who had been in the basket, and another
child, were to the effect that they had been kept with-
out food sometimes for a clay ; and evidence was given
by the neighbours sheaving a systematic course of
" clamming " and brutal treatment on the part of both
prisoners. All the children were greatly afraid of their
mother, and even in the presence of the inspector dared
not say anything but what she told them. The defence
was that in all cases the punishment had beet inflicted for
bad behaviour. Mr. Chief-constable Polls said the female
was imprisoned for six months three years ago for larceny.
The prisoners were sent to the House of Correction for six
months each, and the children were placed under the care
of the relieving officer.
