springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decay3d

TRAcTs.—Persons who are so unfortunatel as to
be obliged to travel much, in the public vehicles and ves-
sels of the city of New York frequently have religious
tracts offered them by a fellow-sufferer, who draws a
bundle of them from his pocket and hands them around.
It has, perhaps, occurred to others besides myself what
a powerful means of doing good this might be if the
tracts Were written in just the right way, on just the
right .subjects, by truly enlightened and sympathetic
men ; and perhaps others have wondered, besides
myself, that such au obvious and easy way of spread-
ing abroad good knowledge, good principles, and
good feeling should bo so long neglected by persons
capable of using it with effect. I hope yet to see our om-
nibuses littered with tracts written by such persons as
Mr. Emerson, Dr. Holmes, Mr. Lowell, Mr. Norton, Mr.
Curtis, Dr. Bellows, Horace Greeley, Dr. Chapin, Mr.
Mayo, Mr. Higginson, Mrs. Stowe, Gail Hamilton, Mr.
Beecher, Goldwin Smith, Charles Dickens, and all other
good fellows of either sex who love their species, and have
a wise or friendly uord to say to them. It will only be
necessary for them to write a great deal better than they
eves did Mora—Atlantic Orfonthly,for may.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND
ALGIERS.

Reply of the Archbishop of Algiers to Marshal
.'Mahon, Governor-General of Algiers,.
ALGIERS, April 23, 1868.
MONSIEUR LE MARECIIAL,—I was occupied with
the innumerable cares which the orphans, the
native widows, the house of refuge which I am pre-
paring for old men, Europeans living in the pro-
vince at Algiers, put upon me when I received your
letter dated the day before yesterday. I had over
and over again to read its address and signature
before I could persuade myself that it was addressed
hcountry. aln ne reeNg.
erreyt
wt i th) ge r teh e absence
been_
accustomed, o f c our t s
willto
to a Bishop by the Governor of a Christian
which I
not permit myself to imitate your Excellency.
will recollect that you are the representative here
of a Sovereign whose subject I am, and to whom I
owe gratitude and respect, and that I am myself
the representative of the God of charity and peace.
I will not stop, therefore, to refute insinuations
doubly offensive by their substance and by their ex-
pression.
Nobody knows better than your Excellency that
the numbers which I gave as to the mortality of the .
Arabs in Algiers during the last six months of the
past year, not only were not exaggerated, but have
even, although you have officially contradicted
them, been below the reality. Better than any-
body you know that I have not spoken but in
obedience to my conscience, and that in speaking I
have not said all ; and that, finally, I am some-
times silent, in order not to create under circum-
stances so grievous as the present fresh embarrass-
ment to your Government. Better than anybody
you know that in speaking of the assassinations,
and of the repeated acts of cannibalism which have
shocked our colony, I, a bishop, could not excuse
them on the ground pointed out to me by your
Excellency. For me, on the authority of your word,
to set about attributing to a frenzy of the brain which
destroys free will, as the materialistic physicians do,
the assassinations which I have alluded to, would
be to legitimatise and encourage crime, and to
spread terror amongstnur colonists and give new
,audacity to the Arab, assassins. Better than -
any-
.body you know that in writing the following 'pas-
'sage to which you object, and which I maintain and
That France must

ee
ww itthhenge
ews
pfeol cee
r:—
myself, let the gospel be bestowed on the Arabs or
ra"ther let me correct
elsb drive them back into their deserts far from the
civilised world." You know that in writing this
passage I had but one end in view, that of proving
by the absurdity of the thing, that is to say by the
material and moral impossibility of achieving the
second of the two alternatives, the necessity after
the dreadful experience we have had of granting
the first, of giving us not the aid of force which we
do not wish in any way but the liberty of the
apostolate, and by that I understand the liberty of
charity, the liberty of self-denial, the liberty of
death, with which we are incessantly threatened
since the day when we came alone unarmed in the
midst of the Arabs.
And acts done here give to my words a commentary
more eloquent than my speech. Tell me, Monsieur
le Mar6chal, who, in this moment, attracts around
him the Arabs, in spite of the dangers which their
presence causes, who receives them into his asylums,
his seminaries, into his own house? Who takes
care of them, who gives a refuge to their widows
and to their children, who sacrifices for them the
lives of his priests and of his nuns ? And on the
other hand, who drives them, like human herds, out
of the sight of Europeans, back to their mountains
and into their forests? under what imperious ne-
cessity, in what condition, and with what results,
alas! you know, and I know also.
Better than anybody, you know the value of
those odious insinuations which your Excellency
does not fear to repeat, following the lead of au
anti-Christian press, namely, that I would make
these poor Arabs pay by the sacrifice of their
religion for the bread which Catholic charity
haS distributed to them through my hands. No,
Monsieur le Marechal, such has not been nor will
be the conduct of a bishop. I have not said, not
caused a word to be spoken in this sense to the
Arabs whom I have sqccoured. I did not mean,
and I declare it publicly, that not a single one of the
twelve hundred orphans whom I had rescued should
be baptized unless at the moment of death, and
even then I allowed those only to be baptized who
had not arrived at the age of reason. I wished that
in this respect they should preserve their liberty,
and that if when they had reached an age to make
a rational decision they preferred remaining Mussul-
mans, I should nevertheless still continue to afford
to them my paternal support. It is true, I shall
teach them that it is better to aid oneself by exertion
against misfortune than to sleep in death, invoking
destiny ; that it is better to have a fami!y than to
live under the pretext of divorce or polygamy, in
perpetual and shameful debauchery ; that it is better
for them to love and aid men to whatever race they
may belong than to kill them as " Christian dogs,"
and that France and her Emperor are greater in
the eyes of God and men than Turkey and the
Sultan.

This is what 1 have taught them. Who is it
that ventured to find anything in it to be retracted?
Finally, no one knows better than you, Monsieur
le Marechal, that 1 live in the most absolute retire-
ment and solitude, flying the world, and confining
myself to my episcopal duties and work. If, then,
as you tell me, the people of Algiers still range
themselves round me, it is because they consider
the ideas and principles which I profess as a har-
bour of safety after so many tempests. They are
my flock, they are the souls whose pastor I am, and
you reproach them with their confidence in me, and
you reproach me with luring them, with seeking to
save them, and you give me to understand that if I
do not separate myself from them that 1 am not the
friend of exsar.
I know the Emperor, Monsieur le Marechal ;
;his magnanimous spirit does not fear the
light. I have experienced it—l experience
it every day ; and it is this which gives
him a strength which no opposition, open or
secret, will destroy. It is the duty of every honest
man in face of the crisis which forebodes an evil
day for Algiers to tell him with as much respect as
courage that he has been deceived. The Archbishop,
after pointing out that the Marshal M‘Mahon had
been led into error in regard to his (the Arch-
bishop's) conduct, says that the Marshal's letter
has evidently a signification far beyond mere mat-
ters of detail ; that it is in effect but a carrying out
the unfortunate system in regard to the Church
which has been pursued from the day of the con-
quest of Algiers down to the present hour. The
Archbishop then points out how his predecessor the
first bishop of Algiers had been abandoned by the
civil power, and compelled to leave the country fur
which he laboured and suffered. His successor Mgr.
Pavy had nc,t been more fortunate. Every attempt
to convert the Arabs was interdicted. The venerable
Superior of his Seminary was publicly threatened
with imprisonment, and even with the galleys, for
having taken under his charge some native orphans
deserted in the marshes of Algiers. The wish ex-
pressed by the bishops at the Council of Aix to
open an Arab mission was rejected by the Govern-
ment; and whilst, continues the Archbishop, my
two venerable predecessors were thus refused the
liberty of carrying out their apostolic mission, they
had the sorrow to witness the building, often at
great cost, of mosques for the most part useless to
all encouragement given by public subsidies to
schools and religious gatherings, where the fana-
ticism of the natives was still further excited, and
to see the pilgrimage to Mecca conducted at the
charge of the State by the Mussulmans of Algiers ;
and, finally, to see what seems verily incredible, the
Koran taught, in the name of France, to those even
