ploughmen as their particular anniversary. Upon

and equally devout, oil counted The blessings OF
the saints upon their after labor by placing lighted
tapers before the shrnes But the dev )tion was CO.
operative, as the cost OF the tapers was begged to
"speed the plough" from the more pecunous of the
people, In fact, Plough Monday, as the day is
called, was the annual prototype OF our more mod
ern weekly Blue Monday If the paid to sanity

have this intelligence from q very excellent
source. 1t may be accepted as semi-oliicial.
WHY
This public and pressing difficulty is experienced,
as we told by British authority in consequence
of the certain absence OF the French representative
from the Congress, but the real cause.-the fact and
truth OF the matter-is to be found in the embar-
rassing position In which England Is placed by the
formal notification which has been given her by tile
Russian government. 10 the effect that the clause OF
the Treaty OF Paris OF 1885, which attempts to
late the navigation OF she Black Sea, has been
already abrogated by the act Of the Czar Alexander
and that 1t is "out OF the power OF q Congress 60
alter his decision" In this respect
BRITISH HOPE OR CERTAINTY.

Powers VIII certainly meet before the end OF Janu-
ary.

sidered final. but whether France Is represented or
not the conference will assemble"

In political circles is to the effect that NJ Jules Favre
Is merely awaiting an invitation on the part OF
