Poverty IN FRANCE.-It is computed that there ere
million of beggars and vagabonds in France. In
recent work, Hugo says thore are thirteen hundred
thousand peasants cottages that have but three open
ings; eighteen hundred and seventeen thousand that
have two-the door and one window--and, finally,
three hundred and forty six thousand cabins with only
one opening-the door. And this in consequence Of
what is called the tzcse upon doors and windows
In these poor families, among the aged women and little
children dwelling 10 these huts, how abundant is fever
and disease In Lere, in VAR aud in the Upper and
Lower Alps, the peasants have not wheebarrows;
they carry the manure their backs; they have no
candles, but burn pineknots and bits Of rope soaked
in plch. And the same 10 the case all through the
upper part OF D9uphlne. They make bread once In
months and bake it with the refuse of the fields
Ia the winter it becomes hard that they cut it up
with an axe and soak ii for twenyour hours before
they can eat it.

. PeEDICr1ON FULFILLED.

The following prop hetic view of the destiny of A.
merica is 30 remarka BILE to- deserve reproduction at
this time 1t is from the Life etc. Of Colonel George
Hanger" written by himself London, 1901:
shall here relate conversation that took place
one day at his table this Cen Dickinson, at Phila
delphia brother to the welknown Pennsylvania Far
mer' and occurred after the peace OF 1893 before
large company and an opinion which gave relative
to the future destiny OF the Government Of that eoun-
trv and am of opinion that the state of affairs there
is RAPIDLY Fastening dissolution of the United States
At that time, when peace had been concludeo out
few weeks was of that opinion ana Tememoer We'll
when Cen Dickinson asked me my opinion OF the
Go, ernneut and Its stability. l communicated my
thoughts nearly in the following words: Sir, as long es
General Washington, and the other principal military
characters and leading men IN Congress, who have
broaght about this revelation, are alVe the Iovern
ment will remain as it s-uaited; but when all OF you
are in your graves there will be wars and rumors
of wars in this country. There are too many different
interests in it for them to be united under one
Government.
Just as this war commenced, you we're going to fight
among yourselves and would have fought had not the
British interfered. You then, one apd ALL united
against 1s az your common enemy, but one OF these
DAYS the Northern and Southern powers Will night as
vigorously against each other IS they both have united
to do against the British Tbs country when its pop
uation shall be completed is large enough for three
great empires. Look gentlemen, at this map Of it.
View how rregulary the provinces are laid out run
ming into each other. Look particularly at tbs State
of New York. it extends $50 miles in length due North
and in DO place in breadth above fifteen twenty
mi s. No county can be said to have boundary or
frontier unless lis exterior limits marked by un-
ferdabs river, chain OF mountains not to be passed
in particular PLACES The great 6qger of nature has
distinctly pointed out three extensive boundaries to
year country the North River, The fest the Great
Potomac, which runs three hundred miles from Aexan-
dra tie the sea- unlordable, the second and the Mssis
sippi the third aud lest. Wheo the country Of Ken
lucky is completely settled, and that back country far
tier ONO tn banks OF the Mississippi shall become
popuous and powerful, do you thnk they Will ever be
subj ced to a Government seated at Philadelphia or
New York, at the distance of 50 many hundred miles
But such detection will not happeu for very long
period of tme until the inhabitants of the country be
,coms numerous and powerful. The Northern acc
Southern powers will first divide, AID contend in arms

GENERAL HUNTER We have an interesting fact to
mention concerning this notorious character-the twin
brother OF Beast Butler. gentleman Of this city re.
ceived it by letter, few days since, from rela-
tive at the North who had just visited Princeton New
jersey and whose opportunities of knowing the truth
OF the statement such as to leave no reasonable
question to its correctness.
Soon after hunters resignation last fal he went to
Princeton, proposing to make it bib home. But such
was the public indignation excited by his atrociouS
crimes in Virginia TINT he could fnd in his native
place, rest for the sole OF his feet and compelled
because of his general odum to look for quarters else
where. He was, in fact, given to understand that,
should he attempt TO settle there his house would be
burned over his head.
The wretch who put the torch to private dwellings,
with teachery and alsehood upon bis lips whose soul
is this day stained with of the foulest murders
known to historywell may the curse be fulfilled upon
him, that men shall hiss him out of his place." Ever
since he became incendiary-ever since his blood
outlines in the death OF that good man. David S.
Creigh, whose crime that he dared to defend the
ssnctity of bis home and his own life against stray
CLING plunderer-we have not doubted that q righteous
God would put mark upon him, indeIible as that
upon the forehead OF Cain. This miserable vaga-
bond may yet live TO know the terrible reality Of that
Divine threatening. The way Of the wicked shall be
turned upside down. Central Presbyterian.
