Stories of Peter Cartwrighi--A Dispute with
Doctor.
Many other anecdotes could be told of
this eccentric and talented man, and there
is one too good to let pass. He once had
a dispute with doctor relative to religion.
The doctor said he wanted honest and un-
equivocal answers to few questions:
ibid you ever hear religion ?''
s'No.o
''Did you ever smell religion ?o
"No."
Sid you ever taste religion ?"
''No.o 81.
ibid you ever feel religion ?" i
"Yes.n
"Now, then," SAID the doctor, with APP
parent triumph, 81 have proved beyond a
doubt, by four respectable witnesses, that
religion is not seen, heard, smelled, or
tasted, and but one solitary witness, feel
ing, has testified that it is an experimental
fact. The weight of evidence is over
whelming, and you must give it up"
Cartwright asked, " Did you ever see a
pain!"
"No.u
Did you ever hear pain? ?"
$ Did you ever smell pain ?"
:. 81 Did you ever taste pain ?"
" g you eyer feel pain ?"
9 Certainly l did. sir"
The doctor and his family were con.
Verted.

Message of President Tbicrs.
PARIS, Nov. 13-The message of President
Theirs was received by the National Assembly
to-day. The message begins with thanks to
God for the progress of the work Of reparation
and general prosperity of the country. Refer
ring to the extraordinary success of the last
loan asked by the government, it says that the
whole available capital of the commercial
world was offered to France Half of the loan
has been realized in three months. Germany
has been paid SOC, 900, 900 francs of the war in
demnity, and she will receive 200, 100000 more
IN December. The Budget shows that there is
deficit of l32 900 900 francs for the past fiscal
year, but the estimates show that the equilib-
rum of expenditure and reserve will be restor-
ca IN 1873, and that the surplus may be looked
for in 1874. Alluson is made to the disasters
OF the late war, the cruel Acknowledgement of
the country and the frightful burden it had to
bear, and the establishment of the Republic.
All these things suddenly bursting on a sur
prised and disheartened country might have
resulted in an irrepairable disaster Order had
not been maintained. A forcible appeal is
made to theoretical Republicans not to snare
N~~SS5oltC
interests. The Republic exists as the legal
government. An attempt at any other form of
government would lead to most terrible rev.
oution. The President deprecates the formal
proclamation of the Republic by the Assembly.
The better policy would be to impress ON the
institutions of the country the features of con-
sentative Republicanism. The Republic must
be conservative, otherwise it cannot exist. The
absolute need of France is repose. The mass
might live through few days of agitation, but
after fighting others it fears itself aud falls in
to the arms of an adventurer travelling the
sad and humiliating journey from anarchy to
despotism and despotism to anarchy. The
slightest fault is sufficient to wreck the Repub-
lie France orderly and strong inspires conf
dence in foreign powers. who desire above all
may become surrounded by trusting and useful
friends. To the Assembly on the left, the in
vitaton of constitutional measures the decis-
| i've moment has arrived for the work. The
President promises Difference, corporation aud
devotion. He concludes by invoking God to
bless the work of the Assembly, and render
complete and durable contamination which
! has not been attained since the commencement
! of the country.
