FOREIGN NOTES.
NO GERMANS NEED APPLY.


AS heretofore stated by telegraph, league is
formed in Paris the members of which bind
themselves not to employ Germans, and even
FTenchmen who are suspected of having COM
mercial dealings with Germans are not safe from
i'll. treatment. An dfiche has been posted upon
the walls of Paris, showing the action of the
authorities in the matter, which we translate as
follows:-"The syndical chambers have met,
and have unanimously decided that no Ger
man shall benceforth be admitted into houses
of business in Paris" We also translate
the first article of this Anti i-Prussian League:-
''Article l. The National Anti Prussian
years. Its object is-Q) To place
natives of Alsace and Lorraine in the com
mercial establishments of the principal towns of
France, in order to avoid espionage by ex-
by our former compatriots. ca To procure
aid and employment for such of the population
of the annexed territory as may refuse to live
under the Prussian yoke, and shall emigrate
into France. (3) To distribute throughout the
country all works narrating the acts of cruelty
committed by the Germans, in order to foster
aversion against our enemies. a. To present
to the colleges. lyceums, schools, and free in
stitutons, works concerning Germany, her
manners and customs, her ambition, her ten
dencies in order to stir up in youthful minds
the desire to avenge their country"
''DECEAsED wIFE's SISTERS"
With persistency that is almost comic when
the cause is considered, the South Australians
uplift again and again the proud banner bearing
Deceased Wiie's Sisters ON its naughty folds
To descend to plain English, the colonial Eng
lshmen, once removed, wish to marry the sis
ters of their deceased wives and have four times
in twelve years passed local act to make such
marriages legal! But the mother country very
stern parent in this matter, though very indul-
gent in everything else-has four times disal-
lowed the act. III there is something Odd in the
perseverance, of the colonists, the4e is also at
first sight something rather peculiar in the
iron refusals of Downing street. For in
what other wish do we ever thwart our spoiled
children across the seas? We allow the Canadians
to tax our goods We allowed the Red River
rebels TO hang British subject. We never in
terfered when Victoria made an ex-Irish rebel
one of its Ministers. We allow Canada to enter
into negotiations with the Yankees. We tole-
rated long ago the expulsion of our convicts
from the Cape of Good Hope. We withdrew
our troops from New Zealand at the first whis-
per of pstulant little parliament. We grant
to infant colonies self-government SO soon az
they can toddle about alone. We send them
our princes from time to time, and the British
taxpayer pays, in the estimates, for gifts To
pie ase our feliow-citizens abroad. We give
them titles and honors as often as they desire
We deny them no boon, no toy, no liberty. Ii
fact we have been as tolerant of all outburst
of independence as dotiDg mother is of the bad
temper of teethiDg child. But it would seen
that there is one exception to this unbrokeI
show er of sweeties." We cannot give then
their deceased wives sisters.-London Gazette
