AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. The Paris
wits have not done yet with Marshal Mel,
who sought the other day to prove that
the forced celibacy to which the army is
subjected for six years greatly contributes
to the general welfare, He denied that
the marriageable girls in France had any
reason to complain that the conscription
deprived them of eligible husbands. He
laid down that the young men rejected by
the military boards of inspection as unfit
for soldiers, through the loss Of one eye,
Of several teeth, other bodily inirmlties
and weaknesses of constitution, were not
Ey reason of these disadvantages unfit for
marriage. Never perhaps in French
assembly has marriage been so severely
reduced to simple question of the resrc-
duction of the species. Can one-armed,
one-eyed young men produce healthy
children ? Yes, says science. The ques-
tion is then settled, and what have the
young girls to complain of? Such is the
argument of Marshal Mel Man is re-
productive animal and nothing more.
