attacked. The Convention which resulted
in a prohibition to export arms from France to
Spain was discussed by N. Theirs with Senior
Olozaga, the last Spanish Ambassador but one,
acting in the name of the Madrid Government.
In this Convention France engaged, as desired
by Spain, TO forbid the expectation of arms, and
Spain on its side renowned its power of
transporting arms and war munitions through
France without the permission of the French
Government, which, however, could not refuse
such demand provided that no Spanish soldiers
accompanied the war material, in order not TO
infringe the principle by which no foreign army
could pass through France. It was at the
same time arranged that if any Spanish troops
were driven over the frontier they were to be
disarmed at once and allowed to traverse
France, their arms being subsequently restored
to Spain. 1t may be mentioned that Carlist
soldiers are not only disarmed, but also Gin
termed" Under this Convention, therefore,
the g~unboats built for she Spanish Government
at Marseilles and TOulon were sent across the
south of France to the Atlantic, without
any Spanish escort, as simple merchandise.
This precautionary measure was taken in order
not to furnish a precedent to other nations,
but it may be understood that the object
of such a Convention concluded with France
by the request of Spain was TO hamper not the
Madrid Government, but the CarllSt i%nsurreo-
ton. The French Government is therefore
acting strictly in conformity with an existing
agreement in authorizing the passage of the
arms and munitions of the Alfonsist Government.
As to the attack made on the Duo Decazes for
not "being neutral it IS simply absurd.
Neutrality cannot be maintained with regard
to insurgents, recognised as belligerents by no
Government in the world. The French
Government would lay itself open to weII.found-
ed attacks Were it to refuse to execute the
Convention simply to favour the insurgents,
under The pretext Of neutraIity, Such conduct
would be a violation Of the stipuIations agreed
upon. The Note Of the Journal O3IcieL
would perhaps have been clearer had it express.
cd the circumstances Of the case more ex-
pIicitIy; but it should be remembered that it
is not the work Of the Minister who is specially
attacked, but appears in the name of the
whole Government, which thus accepts the
collective responsibility of the concessions for
which it is reproached.

CHICAGO, Aug 28.-" why do not young peo-
Die marry?" That ia question we'll worth all
the atteution the readers Of The TRIBUNE are
bestowing upon it. What various opinions they
advance! Some coma from t1ue-heazted girls
and women; some from men who have to the
fullest extent the characteristic feature OF man
selfshpess - pare, uuadulterated selhshness
But there are few, TN happy to say, that, By
their own unconscious showing, would make
good husbands. Do they think al girls arc
brainless? That, because they 4aye been
brought up to wear fine clothes, to play the
piano. and talk nonsense in nonsensical society,
they know and are Capable Of nothing bet
ter? II so, they were necer more mistaken.
II has been my own experience, and doubt not
of thousands Of other girls, that, after an even
ing spent III society, the utter foolishuess OF the
whole affair comes back to them SO forcibly that
they would mover do the like again if it were iu
their power to do otherwise. How welcome to
them is the opportunity Of curing for and MAX
ing beautiful home for the man they love. The
same girls would live Oh an income Of $500 If tho
case required it. Does it necessarily follow that
girl cannot make q loaf OF bread or cake be-
cause she knows how to play the piano? or that
ebe cannot btou beef-steak because she can
waltz ? No sacrifice Is too great for q loving
wife, no burden too heavy for ber to bear, no
work too laborious for her to do, when it is
labor of love; and tho only reward
she Graves is the loving commendat'on OF him
who ia to her all in all. know the '6trong-
minded " ones will elevate t4elr noses ut this,
but what do We, the hapfy wives, care for that?
If young men with moderate salarles{ would
only take heart to lay the whole case before the
lady OF their choice, tell her candidly the state
Of their finances, and ask her whether she could
make hons for themselves on such small
amount, they would be surprised to find how
