we suppose. Judge Ludlow might have as
tonished both plaintiff and defendant in
the st. Clements case the other day if he
had only taken this tack. Imagine him ask
ing:-''Did you ever hear what happened to
the celebrated Game Chicken at the hands of
the Nobby Shropshire One? You will find
it reported in full in Dombey-4, 175-and
there is no more satisfactory precedent to apply
to this case." If our brother Ludlow could
only be induced to say something of that
sort he would perhaps crafty, but would
certainly astoniah, both the religious and
secular public.

DECORATION DAY.

The graves of the brave men who died that
the nation might live will be decorated with
fresh flowers to-day, and young and old will
unite in doing reverence to their memory.
The custom of laying floral tributes upon the
graves of the Union dead has its appropriate
ness in the fact that the great civil war
which for long weary years desolated the
fairest portions of this continent was one of
principles and not of policy. Many were
slow to recognize all that was involved in the
conflict, but as the tide of battle wavered
between defeat and victory the nation was
forced to recognize the fact that the war
could have but one result. Once being en-
tered into, the total defeat of one party or the
other could alone end it, and Union victory
meant the destruction of slavery as the in
spring cause of the war, and the strengthen
ing of all the ideas of nationality which, in the
North at least, had been increasing in inten-
sity year by year, Notwithstanding the demo-
ralizing doctrines SO industriously preached,
in season and out of season, by the Seces-
sion leaders while preparing for the great act
of treason which brought ruin on themselves
and upon their followers. AS the war was
one of principle, and as the principle in
volved was that of republican freedom, SO
the memory of the men who laid down their
lives for the national cause is held in greater
reverence by those who reap the benefits of
their sacrifice than it would have been had
they fallen in mere war of conquest or even
in conflict with foreign invader. If the
custom of decorating the soldiers graves with
flowers serves no other good purpose, it will
at least have the effect of impressing those
who participate in the ceremonies of Decora-
tion Day with proper idea of the value of
the principles which were involved
in the war for the suppression of
the Rebellion, and of melting them
with fresh enthusiasm to perfect the great
system of government which the result of the
war prevented from being disastrous failure.
The soldiers Of the Union armies will have
died in vain if fraud and corruption are per-
mitted to do the work which treason and
force were unable to accomplish; and the
decoration Of their graves viii be but an idle

WHAT NEXT FOR FRANGEg

WHAT NEXT FOR F,RANOE?
WITH the collapse of the Communist rebel
lion comes before the world the question,
What next for France? and the difficulties in
volved in it are greater than any presented in
the subjugation of the armed mob of Paris.
The country is laid waste; the capital city,
beautiful Paris, ''the JOY of the
whole earth" is in ruins, and
a multitude of conflicting interests and innu-
merable crude and conflicting experimental
ideas are in the way of the establishment of
a stable government that will be strong
enough to maintain its authority and to re-
vive the fallen fortunes of the nation. The
best man in France at the present moment is
NJ Theirs, who in his best days was little
mere than tricky and unreliable politician,
with but few real statesmanlike qualities, and
yet upon him in his old age has appa-
rently fallen task requiring far
seeing wisdom and large-minded
policy if it is to result in the preservation of
France from the misfortunes which have be-
fallen her in the vibrations of her political
pendulum between Red Republicanism and
Imperialism. Imperialism, which many ac-
cepted gladly because it appeared to be the
only means of relief from worse evils, has
proved its utter worthlessness, and the ruins
of the palaces of Paris are monuments to Red
Republicanism which the nation cannot but
behold with horror. Now the red flag has
been trampled in the dust, however, and
between the crushing defeats inflicted at
the hands of the Germans and the destruction
caused by those who had proclaimed them
selves as the representative Frenchmen of the
age, the nation has been brought to lower
depth of degradation than ever before. The
world will await with anxiety for the next ex-
pertinent that France will make in the way of
sef-government; and while the prospects are
certainly not bright, we can at least hope that
a country that has done so much for civiliza-
tion may profit by the terrible disasters that
have befallen it, and that the France of the
future may be real leader in the direction of
liberty and enlightenment.

LIKE CURE9 LIKE

LITTLE exercise of the imagination will
enable us to appreciate the position of Mr..
William Edwards and Mr.. Timothy Collins,
the renowned light-weights, as they stood
before Judge Bowling in New York court
on Saturday. We published report of the
proceedings yesterday, and very good reading
it made. When the judge said, "The court is
going to give you men blow that will knock
you out of time, the distinguished prisoners
doubtless thought he was the jolliest head
''beak" they had ever come before. They
asanted to be knocked by such an affable gen.
tleman. After such a speech, and with such
evident intentions of doing the fair thing,
this amiable judge would only give them
love-tap, only order them, with wink, to
furnish bail Ohat the nearest tavern could
supply for trial that would never come off.
When the truth finally dawned on them and
on their crop-eared friends, what dismay
Such a complete setting down was
of Justice. On low calculation
about five hundred individuals are at the
present moment preparing newspaper articles
on this subject, expressing the received and
entirely proper horror of civilization at prize
fighting, and hoping that Judge Dowling's
earnest rebuke may have a salutary effect
upon the lower classes. About four hundred
of these articles will call the blow a ''tren-
chant" one (without in the least knowing
why), and the entire five hundred will be
very sure that, if criminals are punished as
relentlessly by all judges as by this Judge,
there will speedily be an end of everything
~ ALo
all this-although we do most potently and
powerfully believe tive have nothing to do,
but there is phase of the subject, a modest
wild flower of a thing, which runs danger
of being overlooked and trodden down in
the heartiness and unanimity of the popular
approval. Judge Dowling's success on this
occasion renders it desirable that his method
of dealing with prisoners should be
reduced to some system. For instance,
the judge might say;-''See here, my
man, am going to make an example of you;
shall put you in Chancery." If the reader
don't know he should, this is one of the
most awful fates that can possibly befall
professor of the Manly Art. Or he might say,
''See here, my gay om-pan-ion, you are to
be sent to grass and heavily nobbed; two
years, Mr.. Clerk" For a hardened old
offender the Judge might have this address,
''Come hither, my sweet-scented gazelle. Do
you know what am going to do with you9
No? Well, I'll tell you. You are to be tapped
and bunged and drawn and sogged and made
groggy, and you are to endure variety of simi-
lar complications until you are to be gone into
and finished. That is what is going to happen
to you, sweet one. Five years, Mr.. Clerk, hard
labor" We give these only as examples. 1t is
easily to be seen that the idea can be enlarged
on to any extent, having, in fact, no limit
but the taste and fertility of the learned
Judge. If slang is the language of the future,
these 'sabre cuts of Saxon speech" may do

THE UNION PRAYER BOOK.
Formation of n New Episcopal Chu

Formation Of a New Episcopal Church.
Many Episcop ahans have long been dissatisfied
with certain portions OF the Book of Common
Prayer which, they think, savors OF Old time ex-
cusiveness and bigotry. Accordingly they have
been at work rearranglng the work TO make 1t
more conformabie to the liberal and enlightened
spirit OF the age. Their new work they call the
"Union Prayer Book" and yesterday it made its
first appearance In this city, having been adopted

street.
The rector, Rev. George Z. Thrall at the beginning
OF divine worship, stated that he had received from
the vestry the following communication
