Precocious Dsbauchery in France.

In work from the pen of Jules Simon,
entitled "Le 7rauail which has just
appeared in Paris appear the following
statements Of the condition of the
children of workingmen in some parts
of France:
Even in France there are towns where
women rival men in habits of intoxica-
ton. At Lille, at Rouen, there are some
so saturated with it that their infants
refuse to take the breast of sober
woman. la the mountains Of the Vosges
infants drink eau-de-cie. On Sunday, in
the churches, the air is literally infected
with the smell of eau-de-rie made from
potatoes. In those mountains there are
no more frequent causes of idocy and
imbeciity, Tor in general the dwellings
are healthy, and the water is excellent
The great misfortune is that the children
of habitual drunkards are idiots, so that
the punishment follows from generation
to generation, from the guilty and degra-
ded father to the innocent children In
the manufacturing towns the mayors are
obliged to take measures against the
cabarets that supply ean-de-cie to
children, for there are as many drunkards
OF fifteen as there are laborers at eight;
and, morally and physically, they present
melancholy spectacle. Can it be this
precocious debauchery and the conse-
quences of it which oblige the War
Department to lower the regulation
hight for the service2 A few sermons
which are not listened to; few muaiei-
pal ordinances that are not carried out
pathetic exhortations which nobody pays
attention to, are not sufficient to absolye
society, which allows the pestilence to
spread as if it were an inevitable con-
sequence of industry.
Instead of preaching and publishing,
cure should be applied, and for that
the cause of the evil should be known.
No one can believe, no one will venture
to say, that the wretehed people who
haunt the public house to ruin and to
poison themselves have any excuse for
so doing. Yet think of the twelve hours
that these men spend in their workshops
twelve long and wearisome hours,
without even the pleasure of seeing their
work finished under their hands for the
artlshn is mere piece Vi mhchlueIJi
and feels nointerest in what he produces.
After these twelve hours, so exhausting,
SO monotonous, follow him, in the snow
and frost, when he quits his shop Mount
the crazy and rotten staircase leading to
his room. Enter with him into the
frightful dog-hole, where his meal is
scarcely ever ready, for his wife is at
work like himself; where he never tastes
wine, because wine is too dear where
he can not breathe, because air fit for
breathing is dearer still than wine
where he has no furniture, for during
illness and stoppage of work his furni-
ture is sent to the pawnbroker and
where he finds neither FIRE, nor covering,
nor sleep Do you know many men,
even among those who are most eloquent
on drunkenness, who would resist the
attraction of the pleasant tap-room,
we'll lighted, well warmed, with its gilt
tering pots, its dusty bottles, its gay
companions, and all the semblance of
happiness, which hides from him the
want Of real happiness2
