If there be any race Of men in Chriseudom who
have darkened counsel, it is the Political Economists
Eegectins the facts of the natural world on the one
hand and trampn ing the facts Of mans social aud a.
fectonal constitution the other they have eusy
built up a structure Of contradictions crudites
and untruths and there have inshrined themselves a.

stinct prompts him to cultivate the earth but these
foolish philosophers come in to show that the more he
clears and cutvates and beauties and saubri6es it,
the smaller will be it's return and the more miserable
bis condition The divine command bids Ian increase
and multiply. but the Economists warn him to dsebey
penalty Of starvation for the children he brings into
existence. Intruders at the banquet Of nature beings

the equilibrium is restored By the death Of all that

rigorous logic from tho fundamental ideas of modern DO

thus and Ricardo. And though some more recent wri.
tea have sought to modify the conclusions Of the sci

succeeded only in adding confusion confusion because
they did not 60 back far enough in the process While

The grand error Of Ricardo consists in assuming q

AN ITALIAN SCENE.

During the campaign Of 1900, the French
al lny-destined to meet the power of Aus
tria on the plains of Italy, before it could
render itself master of Turin end Milan,
penetrate even the walls of Genoa, aud de-
| clare the tell of peace on the battle field
Of Marengo-had yet to su,mopnt that vast
Alpine barrier which extends from the st.
Bernard to Nice aud Mentenotte, and to
overcome series Of tremendous obstacles,
presenting themselves one after another in
seemingly endless succession, aud task'ug
the utmost, if not 6efying tue courage of
the troops and the military genius and per-
severance of the leaders. These obstacles
were not merely the result of natural posi-
tion; there were instances in which the
resistance of the invaded was more obstinate
aud more terrible thau that of mountsins,
precipices, or livers. Protected by fortif-
cations of little strength or difficulty, aud
but very iueAiciently aided by a locality
which yielded but few means or oppo1tpni
ties of vigorous defence, but sustained by gu
jndomitable courage, great resources of in
vention, aud an enthusiastic love of country
infinitely more formidable even +hen their
courage aud their skill, the inhabitarts of
the small town aud citadel of IvIee, with
garrison of four thousand AUS IAN soldier ),
and twenty-five pieces of cannon, maintain
Ell the'r post for three days against an army
of forty thousand Frenchmen, mauded
by the three youngest, but already most il
lustrious generals in Europe, Massena, Lam
mes, end Bernadotte
Furious at seeing bis march thus errested
before this insignificant 'ittle place, he who
had token Alexand,ia III a day, snd Cairo in
an horr, end impa' :ent moreover to assume
his positions for the investment of Mi'"n,
the commander in chief, on the 25th of May,
1900, ordered the d, :sion of General Lapnes
to merch upon the Village in all its force
and take it by assault. After three hours
of sanguinary combat, of fierce attack and
the most heroic defence, handful of the
defenders, d,iven rom the citadel, retreat
ing step by step, and hotly pursued by the
victorious Frencbmen, threw themselves as
q last resort into the quarters of Adjutant
General H., with the resolution there to
maintain themselves to the last, and sell
their lives as dearly ss they might IN
moment the house occupied by this brave
veteran was converted into fortress-bar-
ricades were thrown up, loop holes for mus
kerry cut in the wells, end every disposition
made that time and means sfforded, for a
last desperate resistance.
Lapnes, who was the first to enter the
assaulted village, detached en- officer in
command of two batta!ions to drive the
insurgents from their position. The officer
equally distinguished among bis fellow SOL
diers for bis impetuous courage end ferocity,
soon forced his way, at the head of one of
bis battaions, into the disputed mansion,
