You may have remarked I at among al the
mem bers Of the school of 81. Simon ! am the only
one whose name Enfsntin has not alluded TO. !
am nOtw ithstandng the only one WHO, since

aposteship OF Association. | am the only one
who procured vote IN the Chambers Of Louis

Lamaftine to the programme OF the Social party
which contains almost al the principles OF Social

affair with deplOrsble leyity, and from that time
| have been convinced that be thinks more OF the
form than the substance, that what he seeks above
all is the popularity OF the hour rather than the
substantial glory Of great things, which cannot be
born without labor aud agony.

Or does he tisown those Of his friends Who have

ed exc0mmunication, especially when we remem-
Der that my personal relations with him have
ALWAYS been excellent Does he mean that on
the 9th Nov. 1881. and even SIX months before,

The disciples OF Entantln who remain attached
to his ideas and who accept bis dogmatlc author

tain, to some four or five Aries Duiour, merchant

the Sttcle Lambert and Bruno, the former drec-

ed several are personally uuirlendly to him no
one agrees with him in principle but the greater
part cherish toward him the sentiments OF slice
