THE DANGER IN FRANCE.

Political events in France, which have
seemed to be moving toward satisfactory
solution, have suddenly taken on new and
dangerous phase. This time, the conservatism
of the Right seems to have spread toward the
Right Center, where there is less sympathy
with medium course than heretofore. The
conduct of the members of the Right
in insisting on an immediate c0nsld-
Grafton of the resolution providing for
the establishment of responsible Ministry was
certainly factious and mischievOus. 1t Will be
noticed that the probable wishes of NJ. Theirs,
as expressed through the Minister OF Justice,
NJ. Dufaure, contemplate a Presidential Office
shaped somewhat upon the American model.
In other words, if he gives up his right to de-
fend and explain in the Assembly the meas
ures of the Government, NJ. Theirs will claim
the privilege of the veto. He thinks 1t unfair
that he shall not be heard on special iegls-
lative projects without having the power to
return to the Assembly bill which be cannot
approve with his objections thereto. But the
Right and Right Center, acting in concert,
insist only on considering the question OF q
responsible Ministry. We will not listen to
any proposition for enlarging the Presidents
powers they say in effect but they insist on cur
failing those which he already possesses. This
is the alarming aspect of the case; because
when the Right Center, to which M. Theirs
has heretofore looked for part of his sup
port, joins in this unreasonable and hostile
demand, hopes of happy compromise grow
more than ever attenuated.
NJ. Theirs finds it excessively difficult to
keep his balance while walking on the narrow
line which divides the extremes of the Assem-
bly,. Scarcely had he pacifed the Left with
his concessions. which say so much and mean
so little, when he is threatened with new dan
ger on the Right. The hopeful view of the
whole case is that the steadily increasing Re-
publican sentiment of France seems to be de-
voted to NJ. Theirs. He is wise and patri-
otto; he commands the confidence of the
country and we read with satisfaction that
NJ. Batbie, whose resolutions have been fire.
brands in the Assembly, is unpopular, and
that very pronounced public opinion fayors
NJ. Theirs. Dangerous and difficult as the
political situation is, we have much faith In
the Presidents happy faculty at compromise
and Cancellation and all who wish well of
France will be glad if the Assembly. which
last night adjourned in tumultous disorder,
shall to-day be able to agree upon plan to
reconcile Executive and Legislative differ
ences.

A STORY OF SOCIETY.
churches.

About forty years ago, an heir was born to
one of the families claiming Brahmin caste in
this country. If any such claim be just, We
might grant it to the traditions, the culture,
the thorough breeding of this mans race.
Culture and traditions and breeding were facts
assured to them for so many generations that
they were the least self-assertant of human
beings Philip, having reached manhood, lived
with his mother in the quietest of stately old
mansions, on the quietest street of the gravest
of American cities. The house stood back
among century old hemlocks and oaks; it held
fair proportion of the few really fine paint
ings there are in this country; there were in
1t, also. one or two fine marbles, and on the
walls some priceless etchngs. The old-fashioned
rooms were full of bric-a-brao; the closets of
marvellous china. Philip was a tall, dark, lean
man, with the erect carriage and high features
Of ~ Indian; something he had. too. Of the

TIE CELEBRATION OF THANKSGIVING.

THE CELEBRATION OF THANKSGIVING.
We are glad to say that one of the most
prominent features of yesterdays Thanksgiv-
ing observance was the general church-going,
to which our columns, this morning, bear tes-
timony. The cynic who defined gratitude as
lively sense of benefits to come, in his eager
ness to be sharp and sententOus, overlooked
the substantial morality which was couched in
his epigram. Gratitude is q sense rather of
our dependence upon one another in this world
of chances and changes. When tinctured by
religious feeling, it partakes of that conf
dence which child learns so soon to feel in
a parent, and it would be sad indeed if this
were wholly self-seeking. Humanly consid-
cred, all our lives are inter-dependent; and
those who make the most melancholy and
tragical stumbles are those who most defantly
persist in going alone. Rising into higher
kind of speculation, we find the whole econ
omy of our existence controlled by law, and
this we naturally refer to an omnipotent law
giyer and law administrator. We most readily
figure God as Heavenly Father who knows
how TO give good gifts to his children. The
dreary minded Atheist, when some coveted
blessing has fallen to his share, feels, as
his heart grows warmer the necessity of an
object to which an acknowledgement of his
Obligations can be given. He figures some
benignant entity which he calls Fortune, and
to this he proffers his thanks, as he may here
tofore in his extremity have sent his supplica-
tons. 1t may not be the best. but it is Ger
tainly one argument in support of the idea of
God, active and benevolently existent, that
when we are the most purely and deeply
happy, when we have been delivered, as by
miracle, from some great peril, when the best
of which our life is capable is ours, and when
the worst has been avoided, the mind spon-
taneously evolves Being, to which the ten
der Acknowledgements of the heart may be
addressed. We are always in instant necessity
of God. There is no wailing infant, cast
naked and hungry by the waysid/ with none
to care for it and to rescue it from destruc-
ton, which more sorely needs the interposi-
ton of human ipity and strength than we,
children of larger growth, require the same
qualities divinely intensified. Yesterday thanks
were to be giyen--but to whomf The full
churches. the sonorous pulpits, the prayers and
the praises, sufficiently answer the question.
But. turning from the temples. We have again

Spain is actually troubled with insurgents
who fight. sharply contested battle in the
province of ST. Murcia has resulted (of course) in
defeat of the rebels; but other disturbances are
reported elsewhere. These are not Carlists who
are in the field, but Republicans. Just what they

great time they have had in Oldham, England.
Contrary to all precedent and in defiance of settled
usage, the new Mayor, Mr.. Oldham refused to go
to the Established Church the first Sunday after
his election. His opinion was that the Church
should have no sort of connection with the State,
and. therefore. however willing to go to church in
his private capacity, he had conscientious scrupes
about going as Mayor of Oldham. He gave notice,
however, to the Council at his election Saturday
that on the next day he might be found worshiping
God in the Unitarian Church in Lord-st." This by
no means satisfied the orthodox mob of Oldham.
Accordingly, the crowd including many well
known roughs" gathered about the aforesaid Uni
tartan Church ON Sunday, and when the Mayors
family entered q cab to return home they received
many tokens of popular disapprObation. His Worship
preferred to walk and him the champions of the
Church followed for about three-quarters Of smile
"hooting and gesticulating in the most hideous
fashion, We think this method Of defending the
faith has been tried upon larger scale and under
more favorable circumstances before; and it has
always failed. What hanging and drawing and
quartering and racking and burning and beheadng
and crucifying could not do, will hardly be accom-
plished by the blatant uproar Of stupid mob.

we shall find that the Roughs are

see the fairest trial granted to every accused
person, but we want to see all tried without

CATION, for public and personal reasons, must

particular inquiry, that the District-Attorney Is
not altogether blameless in this matter OF de-
Law. and we counsel him to greater activity.
The responsibility is traced by lawyers, whose
opinions we quote and express elsewhere, to
other and remoter sources; and remedies are
suggested which, though mainly wise and
practical, are not as effective, nor can they be
as promptly applied, as the simpler provision
we have urged, and still urge, of strict
enforcement of the criminal laws That must
be had.

Familiar anecdotes of noted men give such
pleasant glimpses of their characteristics that
the incidents related of Bismarck and the ex
Emperor Napoleon, in our foreign correspond
ence, printed to-day will certainly be read
with interest. The Man of Sedan dexterously
avoiding an ancient enemy at an English
watering-place is not a more dramatic figure
than Bismarck quarreling in the courts, or
overcoming an impolite Austrian with his own
ready humor. The story of the Princes d.

grains of allowance.

ND during the next session of Congress is Postal
Telegraphy. We have had some skirmish-
ing in this direction in previous sessions, but
this Winter, it is likely, the battle will begin
in earnest. According to our Washington cor
respondence, it is reported at the Capital that
Postal Telegraphy will be made an Admins

that the rumor is started by those with whom
the wish is father to the thought. Since the
measure commands additional Importance,
