nights performance of SeInrams At

is opened. The par excellence pious newspapers
take frequent and lively pleasure IN stating that the
subscriptions received at these naughty newspaper
Offices are as nothing compared with the gifts

il not hard to tell which gives most pleasure TO the
editors of the Monde and the Ami de Ia Regton, the
succor which the destitute Syrian Christians receive
from the faithful of their party, OF the monetary
succor they do not receive from the wicked readers
of the SiscLe and other revolutionary papers. The
melancholy aughable side of all is, that the Pope,
who gives himself good deal of credit for plnchng
out of bis poverty All aims for the Syrian Christians
does not make the slightest acknowledgment OF
Abd-eI- Kader's broad humanity and generosity IN
protecting and feeding all Christians who came to
him: that French subscribers generally utterly lg-
more English subscriptions; and that generally the
human and Christian side Of the case Is entirely
sbronded by the sectarian and national side OF the
case. Not that France in all these regards Is by
any whit more sadly ridiculous than England. II
ever in the last six thousand years worlds history
there were an exhibition of national "grlnning
of balloons" sure we have 1t now.
Lord Palmerston undertakes the apology OF the
Turkish Government, says the MarOnites began the
late mischief and knowingly puts finger on nose

il where the trouble came from. As though that

debates having no radically preserving SAVIOR to
the contrary. Russia is wisely accumulatlng mill
tary forces in Bessaraba. Austria, who, despite
her chronic financial weakness and political ntesti
nal troubles seems always strong for war, also ac-
cumuates military forces. Turkish sectarian feel
ing irrtated to the last degree not less active or
sincere, or stupidity blind to practical consequence
than ROmanist zeal and reactiOnary hate.
But as if causes enough were not at hand, the
stage managers of the exhibition OF the national
"grinning of babOOns" seek and provoke occasion
for their tOmfOOlery. No worst nonsense III the

The world of art has met with very great aud
irreparabe loss this week in the death OF Decamps,
one of the greatest if not the greatest unquestlon-
ably the most pOetica Ofthe great cOlOrlsts OF the
modern French school Of painting. The best single
criticism upon his singular faculty that ever was
written was that of Balzac, who said in | now for
get which of his novels, that Decamps would paint
the broom which had served as an instrument of
murder so that you would see the murder in the
handle THERE'S no extravaganza in this, as any
one familiar with Decamps's works.. g. with
that wierd /" Gorge of OliOule," at sight of which
youshink with consciousness of murder dOne-will
acknowledge. Last Wednesday, the artist would
follow chase at FOntanbleau when the pack of
hounds passed, his horse took the bit in his teeth
and rushed through the woods uncontrolled by the
unfortunate artist, who was finally dashed head
foremost against the branch of tree. He taken
up unconscious; his skull was fractured and he ex-
PRED two hours later in the arms of his friends.
No one among all French artists can nearly fill the
place he has left vacant.
