A Frenchman Who Did Not Know His
Bible.

The Nation this week adds to the list
of the late Jules Janin's amusing and
amazing blunders the following story :
"In 1851 Janin was sent over to Lon
don as correspondent of a Partisan
journal for the purpose of describing
the great exhibition. The exhibition
did not wholly engage his mind, and,
by times, he employed his valuable
hours in philosophizing on the charac-
ter of the English and dispatching the
results of his observations and medlta-
tons to the editor ut home, One of
these precious results was that, going
into the city, he saw on the front OF the
Royal Exchange an inscription which
read The Earth is the Lords and
which he at once transferred luto his
notebook. There it appeared as La
terre est aux Seigneurs, and such was
the translation forwarded to the French
nation by our journalist, In other words,
says Janin, you may see by thus that
not even the merchant prince Of the
English can free himself from adegrad-
ing subserviency to the arlstocracy-to
the House of Lords.

The Place of Woman.

one OF the principal features of the
Middle Ages is the recognition of the
TACT that Christianity assigned towoman
a new place III the social order of the
world very different from what il had
been before. The deep respect accorded
by that epoch to woman could not but
exercise most powerful and beneficial
influence on humanity for when man.
confident In his physical force, reigns
alone, we can never expect to see real
human culture develop itself. There
now arose new kind of worship of the
Beautiful, and of female beauty in par
tIcular, and that in higher and more
refined sense than had been the case
, with the non Christian world. The
Greeks, the Romans, and the Arabians
had bestowed praise on woman, as nee
essary to their happiness, but they
treated her only as an inferior. and even
as slave. The Christian world set be-
fore itself a new ideal. What man now
strives for is, that the lady whose af-
fectlons he endeavOrs to win should
recognize his personal worth; that she
should prefer him to other suitors: that
she should love him because she honors
and esteems him. Such a demand is
based upon the supposition that man
considers woman as his equal nay,
that he looks up to her as a superior
being the endeayor he makes to
deserve the favor of her he love, and
to become worthy of her, reacts on his
own conduct. Love raises him above
all that IS common and vulgar it be-
comes with him the handspring OF every
noble action he can henceforth neither
do or say anything of which he would
feel ashamed before her. The Teutonic
nations especially seized the full sig
niticance of this lofty conception of
woman and Of her place in life with
them love was nothing but the sponta-
neous homage of strength to beauty :;
they introduced new social usages and
a more elevated system of ethics among
the inhabitants of Southern Europe.
and at the same time, communicated TO
them that reyerential respect which
raises woman, though naturally weak,
! above the common level of humanity.

Rapid Riding.

In giving some notices of rapid riding,
correspondent of Land and Water
whites "Some of your readers may be
aware that the famous Cardinal Wolsey
owed his first rise in life to a rapid ride
in the time of Henry VII. He was
chaplain to that king, ard recommend
ed by the Bishop of Winchester to go
over and see the Emperor Maxilillian on
important business. The emperor was
on a tour at the time in the Low Coun-
tries. Wolsey was prompt. He left
for Dover at four, one afternoon, 10y
boat from London to Gravesend, and
then he took post-horses. and rode into
Dover the next morning caught the
boat for Calais, arrived there III three
hours, ordered horses again, and reached
Maxlmillian before night ; arranged
matters, and rode back to Calais. Got
to Dover by ten o'clock next day and
once again in the saddle, reached Rich
mond before evening, having been a
little over two days on his journey
speedy travelling for those times. The
messenger sent from London to Scot
land, to Edinburgh, to tell King James
that Queen Ress was dead, accomplished
q good deal IL those days. He rested
at night and rode all day, left Whitehall
at ten in the forenoon, and reached
Holyrood before three days were run,
having been thrown from his horse and
kicked, and having likewise rested at
his own place at Witherington, where
lie attended to several business matters
en- route, doing full four hundred miles
IN the time. Bernard Calvert outdid
both Robert Cary and the cardinal, fol
he went from Shoreditch to Calais, and
back i'll one day, riding 142 miles of the
way. Thornhill, the contractor, Won
five hundred gulineas by doing 21t
miles in twelve hours and seventeen min
utes, but thepartlculars of his ride are
too well known to need repeating here
although it took place over one hundred
years ago.

The Old-FOgy Man.

He was queer, old-fogy man,
And loved old-fogy ways;
And failed against the reckless speed
OF these fast modern days.
He once could travel leisurey,
And stop his friends to hail
pnt now they rushed him through by steal
And rode him on q rail.
that good old coach was fast enough
FOR prudent folk to go;
impatient men now laugh at it,
And say twas rather slow;
And so they rush upon the train,
And speed like thought away,
Until smash up breaks their bones
He thinks It doesn't pay.
He loved old housewives spinning-wheels;
The music of their hum
was far more dear to his old ear
Than grand piano thrum
But ali, he signs, those wheels are gone
Since Whitney made his gin;
No more we hear their thrifty hum, =
No more the sisters spin
Tie rosy girls Of olden time,
Sunburnt, were firmer made
Than these, the late and tender shoots
That grow UP i'll the shade
They did their mothers heavy work,
Aud eased her weary hands;
And sometimes, too. if brothers failed
Could help 70 dc the mans.
Their dresses, made with easy fit,
Give not pain beneath
Their hearts had ample room to beat,
Their lungs hal room to breathe
Unlike cur present girls, with vaists
Too much compressed and slight,
Who, If they do not dissipate
Are very often tight
They le not fashion dwarf their forms.
But grew to comely size,
And health shone ever on their brows
And sparkled from their ewes
They thanked kind heaven for all its gifts.
And thought with secret pride
That they were beautiful enough
And they were satisfied
But now. our modern girls alas
Think Providence unkind
For putting too much III the midst
And not enough behind
And 80 they hustle round. and lace,
To mend such clumsy WAYS,
And think they far outshine the girls
OF good old-fogy days.
He wished, he said, for their sweet sakes,
That Fashion 5 tolturing vice
Would ease them UP little and
Less punching would suffice
That they might feel the bounding health
Around the heart that PLAYS
When all uufettered as it was
In good old-fogy days.

Marshal Razaine's Prison Life.

Marshal Bazaine, contrary to what is
generally thought, is undergoing real
and severe detention. He Is confined
within the fort, and has but the terrace
on which to take his walks. The rest
of the island is forbidden ground to
him. He has no garden at his disposal
as has been reported, with the excep-
ton of few trees and flowers on the
terrace Madame Bazaine is with him
She may leave the fort when she
pleases, says the London Times, SO may
Nj. Bazaine's aide -decamp, but they
need special permission from the
Minister of the Interior, to re-enter the
fort. Hence Madame Bazaine stays us
long in the prison as possible. The
view Is extensive only from the terrace
whence the open sea may be discovered.
There is not sufficient fresh water in
the island. and a small boat which
serves to communicate with the coast
brings over the quantity necessary.
The ex-Marshal at first suffered a great
deal from this scarcity of water. He
was obliged to reduce his baths in order
to water the flowers on the terrace
Paris to ask that more abundant sup
ply OF fresh water might be brought
from the mainland, request which was
at once granted, to the great Joy of the
prisoner. Bazaine leads a v.ry uniform
life and seems resigned to his lot. He
reads much, works all the morning, is
taciturn, and avoids as much as possihle
