France Exciting Jealousy.

About the time the President of France was
being most couTtcd by the BOurbOns and most
dlstrusted by the Republicans, he was naturally
in greatest favor with the ruling royal houses of
Europe. IL was then that the Car of Russia
sent Theirs his congratulations upon the pros
poets Of the speedy restoration of France To good
order and her normal condition. Immediately
before and since the meeting of the three Emper-
os nc Berlin there have been marked changes In
the condition Of affairs in France. The Republic,
at first distrustcd, wholly wanting in popular con-
fdence, vexed by the cDnspIracies of BOurbons
aud Impcrialists, and seemingly withOutresources
or credit at home OF abroad, has at last emerged
from the region of doubt and uncertainty, and at
this time has the confidence of every nation in the
world that wishes well to popular government.
Financially it las Just proved itself the strongest
Power in EuTOpe-the strongest IN modern times.
Ii is hardly a year and a half since by treaty
France assumed the payment OF a thousand million
dollars. and ON Monday, the Odd of September,
the republic completed the payment Of half the
amount, in anticipation OF tile time agreed upon.
She has the cash on hand To pay all the balance
Of the indemnity long before 1t falls due and
enough LETT to supply all deficiencies IN her current
expenditures. She can borrow on as good terms
almost rs England and on better than Russia and
Austria. And when she asked the people for a
loan Of $500 900 900 they offered sixteen times
as much at n days notice. In addition to this
popular confidence in the ability OF France to pay
her debts the people are manifesting an almost
universal confidence and affection for the republic.
The republic means economy In administration,
reform in the army and navy, a fresh impulse to
all sorts Of industry and the highest point Of
power TO which thirty-seven million population
can reach. The republic may mean peace, as It's
leaders all declare 10 does, but the Car and his
brother mOnarchs don't quite trust IL; and there
fore they are pleased to regard the manifestations
of popular confidence, general prosperity and in
crossing power a. the putting ON OF an 'aggress-
i've attitude 10 the Radical party of France"
~ - So. ~ Wha IL $500
Republic OF I793-ISOO, which tOppled 50 many
thrones and BUNDLED 50 many dyuasties. We
think they misinterpret the France Of this age.
The French leaders are not radicals Of the sort
that sought revenge for liberty assailed in the con-
quest OF their ncighbOrs. They are offered a more
complete and lasting victory over kingship and
feudalism in the p~caseful triumphs Of industry,
science and art, to which the present republic in
vites them. IL is not Gambetta but Theirs WHO
speaks the sentiment Of France and her people.

Lack of Restraint on San Francisco Youth.

The grand Jury Of san Francisco. California.
have Just presented their first report Of their
labors during the past two months In IL they
say "The members Of the grand jury, in COM
mon with their fellow citizens, view with anxiety
and alarm the rapid spread Of Teeklessness and
crime among the boys and young men Of this
CITY. If the youths Of this city are reckless and
criminal, what can be expected when age places
them 10 the position Of citizens? No well-wIsher
Of the community can reflect on this fact without
serious misgivings for the future. To such an
extent has this evil grown. that the grand jury
asks the authorities % meet ii with a firm hand,
and take such measures a. their wisdom and their
power as guardians Of the city may dictate. In
our opinion, one OF the chief causes Of the de-
pravity, and one which influences the young
mind more than any other. is the absolute free
dom boys have 70 roam about the city at all
hours during the evening and night, visiting
places Of amusement and haunts Of vice, which.
if properly cOmprehended by parents, should
cause them TO tremble for their sons. 1t is a
notorious fact that boys Of all ages visit, at all
hours up to midnight, underground cellars,
meiOdeOns, dance-cellars, and other place where
indecent amusements are carried On-which we
believe % be one Of the most fruitful sources Of
vice and cOrruptIng influence over the boys. and
we would suggest 70 the authorities giving license
10 those places that no boy under the age Of
twenty should be permitted 70 visit OF be present
there and that a strict prohibition should be
eniOIned that no girls under the age Of eighteen
should be employed in such places or be present
at any entertainment. We would respectfully
ask the Board Of Supervisors for the passage Of
an ordinance making il a misdemeanOr for boys
or girls 70 be present OF engage in such places
and at such entertainments also making the
proprietor liable for employing them or permitting
them to be present also authorizing and direct
ing the police TO arrest all boys and girls Of such
ages who may be present or participating in such
entertainment. While we thus invoke the aid Of
penalties Of the laws for the suppression of this
so-calied hOOdlum element and its career of crime.
we respectfully urge parents to put forth the firm
hand Of restraint, winch is a solemn duty, and
compel their children to employ their time in
pursuits Of industry and education. We respect
fully suggest also TO all guilds and trades to
revive the system of apprenticeship, which. for
selfish purposes, is almost extinct under existing
rules, and thereby direct from paths Of idleness
and crime thousands of these youths back to en-
plcyment, which leads to honorable distinction"

Mosaic History Confirmed.

Mr.. A. G.. Harris, editor Of the London Hero
glyBhicGI Standard, mas recently discovered a
papyrus in an Egyptian tomb which Is pro-
nounccd the largest, finest, best written, and best
preserved Of any which have ever yet been found
IN the land of the Pharnohs. When unrOiled 1t
is over 100 feet long by eighteen inches in width
IL dates back to Rameses Ill. (the Ramispinit Of
HerodOtus), and has consequently been more than
1000 wears in existence. Ii contains precious
revelations Of the political and religious civiliza-
ton of Egypt in that remote period and is
written in n mixture of hiereOglyphics, with
signs Of letters and s~yllables. The text OF the
papvrus Is an address from King Rameses Ill.
- 20 his people and to all the people OF the earth "
upon the great events of his reign, as well rs that
10 his father, Setinecht, and of his grandfather
Manephtah Seu IL; events which put an end to
a period Of religious evolution, very important
also for the study of Biblical history. Rameses
relates how he has himself restored the ancient
Egyptian form of worship and regretted the
TEMPLES. endowing the latter with n munifcence
upon the effects Of which he dilates In full. At
the end Of his address he enumerates his various
warlike exploits, and all the other services he has
rendered his people The religious evolution OF
which mention Is made refers 10 the period of
Moses. To the mOnOtheistic worship founded or
restored by him and comprises all the events
which terminated in the destruction of mOnOthe-
ism in Egypt and the exodus of the Israel,tes.
This papyrus is consequently Of the highest
interest for the study of Mosaic religion and
LEGISLATION, and is Of great use in explaining and
confirming many important details of history.
DIR. EisenlOhr recently gave n lecture upon this
subject at Heidelberg, at a sitting of the Historical
and Philosophical Society, and IN his lecture gave
n complete translation Of the address of Rameses
10 his people, which, together with the lecture,
has been published at Leipzig

PAPER WADs.-A peda9gue in Indiana who
was had up for unmercinly w~elting the back
of a little girl, justified hi action by explaining
that she persisted in flingns paper pellets at him
when his back was turned That is no excuse.
The town crier once tau:h school up in the
mountains, and about evcy half hour had to
remove his coat and scrpe off the dried wads
adhering to the nap. He le'er permitted a triie
like this to unsettle his paielce; but he kept on
wearing that gaberdiue uIilit had no nap, and
the wads wouldn't stick. Bat when they took to
dipping them in mucilageIe made a complaint TO

kets and git. Peter MuOId torte skule yer for

The town crier brief, explained that Mr..

In comparison with the rude covering with
which the Briton clothes his acts, the plant grace
and kindly solicitude of the Gaul in presence Of
his fellow-men compel admiration. Yet if one
could read the heart of this Briton, it would per-
haps be found that his sentiments of humanity
are deeper than those of his neighbor. The
rudest husk sometimes covers the sweetest kernel.
When the Gaul performs a gallant act, he ex-
tracts all the honey that is to be gotten out of 1t.
Ii he gives up his seat TO a wOman-whlch by
the way, he does not often do-he takes off his
hat and points to tine vacant place as if he were
surrendering an empire and inviting a queen to
enthrOne herself thereon. If he hoists her um-
brella, II is as if he were spreading out the can
opy of heaven over her head. If be picks up d
fallen glove, he offers it to the owner as if he were
placing his sword and honor ut her disposal for
the rest Of his life. If he quits her at the foot of
a stairway, he looks after her as Il chamberlain Of
the court might do when her majesty mounts the
throne. And in each instance the woman meets
his way in grace and affabilIty. All this makes
him happy. The consciousness of having con-
Quoted himself as a chevalier without reproach,
the probability of having produced an impression
on the heart of her whom be has thus encountered,
and the recollection of her entieing manner, bring
ripples of pleasure across his mind whenever the
scene recurs to him.
