be no pardon for him; aud exhorted the PEG.
pie and the army to revolt, because the dis.
honor of daughters, and the murder of sons
cried aloud for blood.' The chiefs of the
band were men named Lement and Doliget.
The former, in his interiosa'ory, expressed
admiration of all the Sentiments set forth in
the proclamation; and the latter, amongst all
other things, said he believed religion to b.
an invention of priests, property spoliation
of the people, and that in politics there was
no such thing as justice, but only the law f
the strongest; and he added that if his party
triumphcd. it would act on these principles
Another of the prisoners, Young man only
nineteen years of age, named Fournier, said
that he considered Clement his father in
morality" because she had made his polit-
cal education from beginning to end" "You
are shoemaker by trade" said the Presi-
dent, "and Instead Of nj ddling with politics,

a New RELlGloUs SECT IN FRANcE.--A new
polltico- religious party was formed some time
ago in France. 1t processes the doctrines OF
Dauidism. Men like the well known histori-
an Henry Martin; Garnet, the former Minis.
ter of Public Instruction; the philosopher
Jean Renaud; and Dumesnil, sonin-law OF
the well known Mitchclet are the advocates of
the new creed. The last named has not yet
embraced the new doctrine, although he is
considered Druid by the other members.
The principles Of this new party are based
upon those once professed by the ancient
Gauls and those of the revolution of 1892,
which delivered France from the oppression
of the nobility and clergy. The tradition of
Vlcda is cardinal article of faith with the
new secretaries. The principles voteries of
the new creed lately instigated various min
ing rescarc hes in the country of Karnal, near
Vaunes, where the great battle was fought be-
tween the Romans and Gauls, and where they
hope to be able to find the holy axe and the
golden scythe, which are said to have been
employed on that occasion.

The WATER OF THE MEDITERRANEI

THE WATER OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.--
The phenomenon of so many waters constant.
ly flowing into the Mediterranean sea, and
yet never pcrceptibly raising its level, is
one of the most remarkable in nature. We
have recently seen the following explanation
Of this phenomenon. which. if not wholly
satisfactory is at lea st ingenious and plausible
The salt water entering the sea from the At.
latte Ocean, is subjected TO a process o. evap.
Grafton, which although by no means sufii
GENTLY extensive to carry off the surplu.
quantity it yet powerful enough to remove a
large part Of its fresher PARTICLES leaving, by
the time the water arrives near the head Of
the sea, brine which being heavier that con.
SANITY pouring from the ocean, sinks beneath
it, and flows in an under current by the same
route in which it entered Thus while there
is a strong surface current always setting to
the Eastward through the Straits of Gi braltar
there is, beneath this surface current, near
the bottom of the Straits, all equally stropg
under current, Of very salt water pouring
forth to mingle again wit, the waters Of the
Atlantic. The existence of this under current
was discovered many years ago.
