Toulon from Rocbeort--is consunptive, and not
allowed to wear flannel, though permitted to do go
in Rochefort. There is also q hasy rumor of
British peer of the realm being among the .forcates
but as no one has ever seen him, it may be dis
missed as myth. To the present Government OF
France is due the merit of endeavor;ng to deal
with the great social evil, the Bagnes, where vcs
stagnates and grows more hideous, to be again let
loose on society. Penal settlements have been
formed in Africa and French Guiana, to which
some of the convicts have been removed. Toulon
is now the oily Bagne those u Rochfort and
Brest have been abolished but still the work goes
on very slowly.
Three cargoes of 500 each have been shipped
off, yet their places nearly oil filled up by new
arrivals. Moreover, it would appear that the for
Gates cannot be legally compelled to 90 unless they
choose. They were condemned to hard labor In
the dockyards and arsenals Of the State, and not to
transportation. To coax them to 20 abroad, they
are promised that their arrival, they
shall be relieved of their chains and allowed the
free use of their limbs, But so great is their
dread of La;nbessa and Cayenne, and the craven
fear Of death, that they prefer the letters and and
horrors of the Bagne at 1oulon 10 comparative
independence at these two French colonies.

sPIRITUALIsM NOT REFORM.

THE following passage We copy from an arti-
Gle in the Welcome Guest, in which the editor
gives an account Of the late meeting of Progress
i've Friends in Michigan. 1t is not often that We
end emanating from a spiritualist 90 common
sense and truthful view of the difference between
Spiritualistn and Reform as lie here presented.l
1t was claimed also from this stand by most Of
the leading speakers that Spritualism Was to do
the great work Of reformation. To this we utter
ed our protest at the time, and hope ever to bs
able to continue the same. Spiritualism itself 10
not refUrmatory movement. 1t has but one oh.
ject in view, and that is to reveal immortality.
Beyond this it has no power for good or for tta.
Our experience has taught ns that among the
ranks of Spiritualists ali classes are to be found
To entitle one to the ooghomen Of a Spiritusiiss
only requires him to believe that there il 4 con.
munon opened between this and the spirit world
lie is not required to forsake the least srims II
before he becomes convinced that spfitdalis:s ac-
tuslly do communicate, he is q drunksrd, q gam.
bier, profane swearer, falsifyer. q robbsr. .
swnder, a thief, q murderer. a counterfsitsr or
Al adulterer becoming convinced Of this fact,
does not require him to forsake any of these
crimes. To become good Spiritealst, Of course
all of these crimes must De abandoned. Spiritual
ism embraces men Of all ranks. grades and pro.
fessions, from the idiot to the debaucbee and The
higher ranks Of human culture. Hence il might
as well be called idiotic. az reformatorJ. The
great difficulty in the past has been, we have made
titles, reforms, while reforms only eOnsi,, l. be-
coming better men and better ,comep, and whoever
does this, is a reformer.
Wesley wasa reformsr, and being the founder
of Methodism, the mass took Methodism for . re-
form, and the consequence was. that those whs
desired to be called reformers, without becoming
better men and better women. Joined tho church,
and made cloak of it to hide the burshen Of
their iniquites So with all other isms. The mo-
mens We make the lem the reform; We may sxpses
TO Increase in numbers. but not in value. Upoa
this ground we object to Spirtuaism being called
reform. The founders Of every church. and Of
every system Of theology have. without doubt. had
good and lofty motives. but recognising NO stand
ard above 4 creed, bible or ism, they have ~
matter Of course, been forced back into sort sf
semi-barbarlsm. The truth is. there 10 NO stand
ard Of reform outside Of the individual. '
Before Spiritualsm can be called reformatory
movement it must be shown that ID really rsfor.s
all those who profess to believe In lie truths. sad
ar attempt like this would be the height Of folly.
