when Theirs was President of the French
republic. with the Duke de Broglie, the
present Secretary OF Foreign Affairs, but
then only member OF the Assembly, in
which the Duke expressed some sienifi-
cant views considering the present crisis.
In answer to the interrogatory on the
subject OF the, prospects for the republic,
the Duke said:
"For the present I must say that
everything points to at leas, tempo
continuation of the republic. The coun.
try is not ready for q solution of the
Question, which eau only be decided by
passing through dangerous crisis. And
with the partial occupation of French

it, because he could not get it; and he
could not get it, because the Chinese sense
of justice and Chinese law are not as
thorough as our own. According to our
notion, property belongs to the man who
earns it, or to the man who has it by the
will of the Garner; his own ill-luck, or
even carelessness, can not alter the fact
that it is his. OF course, we do not mean
to try to prove that man who finds a
cane should return it to the owner. We
wished merely to express our perpleXity
as to the number of thoroughly honest
people, and the number of the "indiifer-
ent honest" as Hamlet phrases it. Very
unpleasant stories were told about the
prevalence of thieving in the army. Very
unpleasant experience would indicate that
hazy ideas upon property are much more
common than we should like to think.
The subject is forbidding one; the fic-
ton is that everybody is honest; and we
fancy there is q tendency among public
teachers to hold the question at arms
length, and to treat it with somewhat
too refined aversion.-Hearth and Home

Strikes.

Within the last year there have been
numerous attempts on the part of the
workingmen to better their condition by
demanding higher wages or shorter
working hours. Usually this demand is
strengthened by the men ceasing to work
until such time as their requests be
acceded to. These strikes have
proved of loss both to the cap
italist and men. Millions of dollars have
been taken from the pockets of both par
ties, besides much i'll will engendered by
such proceedings.
Strikes in reality do not better the con-
ditiOn of the workingman for this reason:
because the man has an interest i'm the
business of his employer. The machine
shop giving employment to 100 men be-
comes, in time, standing bank from
which these men draw their daily wages.
If the shop is closed this bank ceases pay
ment, and the men lose their only source
of revenue. But il the labOrers refuse to
work, on account of their being i'll paid.
they themselves bring misery upon their
own heads. The owner, on the other
hand. in having his machinery lie idle,
sustains also heavy loss. The profit
that accrues to him from the sale of his
products stops. while he has still to pay
his taxes, etc. The capitalist and labOrer
are bound together in indissoluble bonds.
Without the one the other is pOwerless.
There is mutual exchange of services
from the one, wages; from the other, la
Dor. It Is true that the labOring classes
are often oppressed; but it is not needful
for them to try to right the matter them
selves, except In extreme cases. It is to
the benefit of the capitalist that he have
skilled labor, and only can he obtain this
with high wages. Moreover, by giving
high rates for labor, he will stimulate his
men to do their best. Let the capitalist
remember that the skillful artisan will
not work for q small remuneration, and
their places will be supplied by those who
neither have the ability nor the incentives
to become good, honest, reliable workmen.
Let the laborer bear in mind that wages
tend to rise as the business is profitable,
and nice veysa. Capitalists should be al
ways willing to pay for labor well-and
they will lose nothing, but rather gain
great deal. WorkinGmen should be slow
to engage in s'strikes" for their grievances
viii surely be nghted in time. Strikes
only occasion sorrow and misery, and
sometimes threaten the ruin of whole
families. Let thoughtful men consider
this point, and surely they will see the
Iallacy that underlies all ''strikes"
;hangs.

A Curious Climate.

The climate of Peru is set forth by a
correspondent as exceedingly peculiar
and strange. 1t never rains there, we are
told, but during certain seasons, and
when the atmosphere is filled with
clouds, ''dew falls so thick, heavy and
continuous that it will saturare the heavi-
est clothing in less than half an +! pur."
The coming and going of the clouds that
distill this dew is another strange thing
connected with Peru. The changes are
reported so rapid and violent as to startle
the stranger. One may be walking along
the street, glOrying in the rich warmth
of the sunshine, and admiring the deep,
clear blue sky, when suddenly, and al
most imperceptibly, change takes place,
land from the southwark mass of dark
clouds come rolling swiftly across the fir
mament, and soon the blue sky is re-
placed by somber pail, and to the glOr-
ious sunshine succeeds drizzling, pene-
trating mist" And this is also as sudden
ly changed again; even while one is pre-
pairing to guard against the mist, the SUM-
light and the sky re-appear in all tht ir
brightness and beauty.

TWENTY YEARS.
THE following table of the various re-

compiled from the ninth census report,
presents an array of figures important to
consider. These figures indicate the drift
of religious opinion, as exemplified by the
church history of the last twenty years.
1t will be seen by them that church prop
erty has more than quadrupled during the
last twenty years, while membership has
increased only fifty per cent. Other facts
