Will France Accept IL I8ing.

The London Spectator does not be-
lieve that restoration is possible in
France without long and bloody civil
war The hope of the Royalists is that
the Assembly will meet, and their party,
by the ooalcscing of the Orleans branch
under the leadership of tho Comte de
Paris, and the Legitimists, under the
Comte de Chambord, will simply pro-
claim the latter King as Henry V.
That decree once passed, no resistance
is, as they fancy, possible; for Marshal
McMahon has promised to obey any
decree of the Assembly; the civil authori-
ties have all been secured by sweeping
changes, and still more sweeping threats
and the peasantry themselves will be
either charmed with the restoration or
bo merely passive. The King, restored
to his throne, will grant whatever liber-
ties he plcases; the mobiles will be graft
fled with a Second Chamber; the priests
with the control of education; and the
anccnt happiness Of France will be res
tored with her ancient monarchy. To
this consummation the interview at
Frohsdorf paved tho way The unity
in the Assembly is said to be strong
enough for this purpose; but there is
Mcmahon and the army, which has no
traditions connected with the Bourbons
If they think that the Republicans will
easily sub amt, the Lcsuimists deceive
themselves. There is NJ. Theirs, still
the second power in France, who in
recent speech said that liberal mon
archy, his early dream, was no longer
possible aud that hcnceiorth he cousec-
rated his life to the consolidation of the
Republic; there again arc the people, to
whom all the traditions of the Comte de
Chambord are antagonistic, and who
will not be ruled iii the nineteenth ce a.

An interesting instance of Auctuating
connubial felicity has recently been for
ccd upon orr attention On Tuesday
morning, man with wrathfnl features
came into the office, and laconically
ordered the insertion in tho journal Of

if it was pleasure to him, and LETT In
the afternoon he camo again, looking
cheerful this time, and desired the ad
vertiscment suppressed, as she and l

money, and went his way, buoy anu
happy. But the next morning he came
back once more, saying: "lts no usc;
she's got to be posted, and, handing
over his papers, disappeared Before
night he returned, aud again withdrew
his advertisement, intimating that this
time the reconciliation was genuine and
everlasting. He did not put in an ap.
pcarance the next day, but the day fol-
lowing he walked in, and, with an air
of desperation; ordered for the third
time the momentous advertisement to he
published. 1t was put in type, and as
the paper was about to so to press, n
nervous, sharp featured, bright eyed
woman OF fifty appeared on the scene,
bringing writing from her husband
to the folio wing purport;
