The Ffench are certainly q most buoy
snt people. They are now congratulate
ing Themselves that they possess in one
corps an army 100, 900 strong in the in
te1ests Of civilization. This .vaunt re-.
fers to the Versailles army that took
Paris. Without in any: ray sexeuaing,
or even palliating, the abominatiSns per
peerased By the Communities, We may be
allowed TO- doubt whether the behavior
Of this Versailles army. after it had CON
quered tue capital, can be CONSTRUED Us
civilized; for many Of its deeds we're
those Of the most degraded barbarians.
We admit that its cause, was that Of
aivilizition; but somo of it's acts make
us shudder. The future is fulliof menn-
ces for France. Tile Commune itself
Keeps up its organization, and INDUCES
the Hope that it will yet be ablelt to carry
out its schemes of plunder. Though it's
lenders are bad and, Infamous men, they
are not fools. and theyrese ticir lever
on the fact that large numbers Of French
men are infected with socialism; and it
is because Of this fact ,hat the Com
mune, though CONQUERED for the time. ia
not disheartened. The only hope Of the
friends Of true liberty in France is in The
education Of the Inasses.H Will this ever
be Accomplishment Ganbetta has taken
Vie initiative; but we apprehend fuilure.
for there has never been any portion Of
the Latin race that hab received anything
like general popular instruction, and We
fear that any such system can never be
carried out among them. The French
people must, therefore, for an indefinite
period, pay the penalty Of Ignorance,
which will be the constant recurrence OF
revolution. This is sad reflection. and
We would most willingly indulge in more
pleasant antieipations; but with the
lights Of the past and present history
Of France before US, we can see nothing
In the future to cause us to look for any
thing better than alterations between
tho tyranny OF personal govcrnm ent and
that of the dancers of the hideous Cur
magnole.

DEATH FROM BLOWING DowN A LAMp

casualties resulting from the use of coal
oil occurred on the West Side. on Tuen
day night. a1rs. Elizabeth Starg, living
ut No. l8 Mill street, corner OF York,
disrobed to retro about 10 o'clock She
attempted to extingnish the lamp in the
very common manner by blowing down
the chimney. Tho lamp exploded,
throwing over her tho blazing liquid, nnd
in nn instant she was cnye!oped in
flames. Her husband, who WINS in bed,
sprang out with MI possible haste and
made every effort 10 smother the fumes
10y wrapping around her his cont and
other garments. Tho screams of the
terrified and suffering woman called The
peighbors to her assistance, nnd the
flames were Mt length subdled, but not
until the unfortunate victim had been
terribly burned Medical hid was called
and everything possible done for her re-
lief. bnt she died about midnight, after
two hours Of excruciating agony She
was the mother of four children, the
youngest habo but seven weeks old.
Her husband was badly burned in his
efforts to save her, hut his injuries are
not thought to be dangerous

Absence is often most inconyenient to

"Queen's messenger" is despatched with
State papers from London to Balmoral.
These journeys, including many miles OF

pretty little sum. The Queens persist
