| One of the earliest effects of the revolutionary
change has been the resumption of the suspend
ed courses In the different colleges-or, as they
are in future to be called, lyceums-of Paris.
Nor should we omit to chronicle the fact that
while our neighbors are disposed to seek mo-
del Tor their democracy in the United States,
they are prepared to take hint as to their per-
| sonnel of government from China. M. Carnot,
| the Provisional Minister for Public Instruction,
| has addressed circular to the heads of acade'
mics announcing the adoption of the rule of ad-
| vanclng the most promising scholars Of the pri-
mary schools into the secondary educationalin-
| stitutions from which and from the superior ly-
| ceums there will be regular selection OF the
ablest pupils for public offices OF honor and emo
! lument in the several departments of the admit
| nistratlon. This plan, opening up to industry
| and genius the great path to high employments,
| is communism Of the right sort
properly belongs to another part OF our pa
| per, but may be mentioned here as bringing the
whole OF the subject together, that the Minister
! of the Interior, in issuing his mandate to the
director OF the Louvre to open the exhlpltlon
within fifteen days from the 10Th OF February,
has decreed that all works sent in this year are
| to be received without exception. Such is every
where the order of the hour in Paris there are
to be no dlsappointments. Everybody IS pro-
| la al, lsaI for aNynrx q
| permanent import to state that meeting OF artists
of all classes was held on the 9Th inst at the Ma
| tional School of the Fine Arts, on the convOca'
| ton of the Ministerial which M Ingres pre-
sided, and M Delaroche took the vice-chair At
| this meeting provisional bureau was charged
with the task OF organizing the best means OF
| meeting and voting, In order to name In the hve
divisions Of painters, scuptors, &c, architects,

journalists, hOmmes -des iettres, &c, and drama

In how many forms does the parallel between
the Three Days and the Two Days Revolutions
| present itself! What observer OF opinion ma
| ing on the fruits of excitement among those who
are I" in,' and of the sad, leisure awaiting those
who are "out!' M. Guizot, for. instance, has
time to resume his old habits-under more favor
| able circumstances than were permitted TO M.
| Peyronnet in 1880. Let us hope that no Baron
d'Haussez rediuiuus is coming among US to patch
up the deficit in his revenues by a levy on the
circulating library of incorrect and vulgar Cos
sip But what of republican France Has M.
| Hugo no dithyrambs to add to the series which
began with the death of the Due de Bern and
the baptism of the Duke of Bordeaux? Will the
new ferment quicken into life anything SO
strange, so forclble, so fervid, as the genius OF
George Sand! Will M. Beranger, as an acade-
| mlclan, have any more songs to write Inc

Someso the literary men who have made name
| and fame under former dynastles, are, we per-
| ceive, already on the alert. M. Alexandra Du-
| mas bids fair to be the subject well as the
| creator OF century OF Inventions. Naturally
| enough, his egotism, fertility and ubiquty, offer
| too tempting u subject to be neglected by the
| paragraph. mongers and, accordingly, he Is
made to figure in of the earliest pages oil the
| history OF the republic. But 1t must surely be
broad stretch of fancy to assert that the historic
| grapher Of the Monlpensier marriage, whose "
| and the prince" looked so grand In print some
two years since, has already vowed allegiance
| to those who have driven out his royal asso-
| ciate. 1t were TO make the swagger too gross
| and the serviity too mean. The world, OF
| course, expects an indignant denial What If
it come not! But all the old pictures seen In
| new lights produce strange OeWllucIIneHL -Ol
ideas. M. Emile de Girardn haranguing over
the grave of Armand Carrel-and the irieRds OF
| Carrel, caught by phrase, casplng the hand
that slew him-are among the strange effects
| shown by the wnirlIgIg OF time and change.
| A correspondent has called our attention to

some twelve or fourteen years ago, IN reference

From the Manchester Examiner, March III
Twenty days have scarcely elapsed since
revolutionary mob drove Louis Philippe from
his throne; yet, already, law and order reign
| ag ain supreme in France; and no where has any
destructive CONFUSION or contiagratlon, anarchc
| or alarming, interiered to mar the effect OF the
| lesson which the revolution of 1913 is calculated
| to teach. The middle classes OF France have
| proclaimed by conduct, still more emphatlcal,y
| than by word, that civilzation-that what.is
| most valuable in civilzation-does not depend
on kings, or dynasties, ministries; but that as,
in the course OF centuries, 1t has been slowly
evolved without the help Of these, so can it con-
tnue to exist, IN tranquil and fruitful order,
when these and what belongs to them, have vd-
nished. The working classes of France--they,
| too, have more than once repeated that old pro.
clamation of theirs, which cannot be repeated
too often:-" Kings, or dynastles OF kings, GO
vernments by whatsoever name you go, unless
you look little after US, the workers, assure us
who are ready to toll, due workaand subsistence
IN exchange for it, you really cannot remain on
this earth any longer!" Such 10 the procama-
