Politics in France.

We have a perplexing despatch from
France to the effect that at the recent cleo
tons for Presidents of the Councils General
tives." 1t is difficult to understand the
meaning of this word when applied to French
politics. There are four distinct parties
Each has a conservative and radical wing
Therefore when the cable speaks of con-
servatives we do not know whether it means
Bonapartists, Orleanists, Bourbonists, or
simply conservative republicans. We pre-
sumo the despatch means that the conserva-
tive republicans have gained the day. If
it had been any other party we should
have heard so very clearly, As French poll
tics now go the republicans are really the
only conservatives. They are under the best
discipline. They afford the surest guarantee
for Church and State. They have no policy
of exile or ostracism. The success of
the Bourbonists means the banish-
ment of the Bonapartes. The triumph
of the Bonapartists means the exile of the
Bourbons and the confscation of the prop
erty of the Orleanists. The Republici is broad
enough to accept the services of all parties.
1t has no enemies but those who are enemies
to France.
Much as M. Gambetta should be COM
mended for the general patience and courage
and prudence of his political management,
his elevation to power now would injure
France not only in the eyes Of the Euro
pean nations, but with her own people.
The danger would be that NJ Gambetta,
however disposed to be conservative, would
be open to the influence of those con-
scientious and austere radicals like Louis
Blanc who believe in ideal forms, and who
would be contented with no government
that is not the republic of their dreams.
France must grow steadily toward repub-
icanism as we grew in America There can
be no permanent republic that begins
with the violent wrenching of old institu-
tions-such an upheaval as was seen in 1888
Our own Republic grew because the earlier
counselors were Hamilton and JAY who be-
lieved in strong government. We did not
give way to the extreme counsels of Jefferson
and his followers, who saw their ideal repub-
lie in that France which destroyed the Bas-
tile. The time came when republicanism in
America was content to accept the platform
of jefferson. The time will come in France
we trust, when the Republic will be willing
to be guided by the counsels of men more
liberal than NJ Thers and NJ. Buffet
This will hardly be in our generation,
nor is it natural that it should be So
France is an old country. Its institu-
tons have lasted for hundreds of years.
There are Church privileges, family rights,
customs, traditions, local laws and prejudices
all to be reconciled A republic to grow well
must grow slowly, not like the gourd, which
springs up in night to wither in the morn
ing but like the spreading oak, under whose
branches generations after generations gather.

A Half Century of Welded Life.

The fiftieth anniversary Of the marriage of Mr..
Charles a.,d Mrs. Mary (Byrant) Coleman of Vas
scarborough occurred on the seventeenth OF March.
There was agatherng on the evening of that day
of their children and other relatives who were
within convenient distance, with several of their
long time neighbors. Father Adams was also
there, who tied the knot, and as daughter testi
ies, tied it so strong, that it has never shown any
signs of loosening. To him it was an occasion Of
special interest, as he found himself among those
who, with scarce an exception had been attendants
on his early ministry.
Though this couple have had their share of the
ills that flesh is heir to, they have great for
thankfuness. All the children that God has Civ
en- them are still living except one, and ENJOYING
that degree of worldly prosperity which will make
them comfortable, without burdening them with
care, doing well for this world, and as they hope
for the world to come.
Then there was period of social chat, in which
there were "reminiscences Of the time when We
went TO the house of God in company, at that ven
cradle structure on the hill, now gong to decay;
and that sabbath school, the earliest by many
years that was established in town; and the opin-
ion was ventured that the simplicity of the ar
rsngements Of that day, designed simply to store
the memory with the truths of Gods word with
out much note or comment, was better calculated
10 produce lasting impressions than the many in
ventions' that modern ingenuity has sough, out
Refreshments were then taken at a well furnished
table. As there was good deal Of musical talent
in the gathering, some time was spent in singing
the songs of Zion interesting letters were read
from two of the absent children, the Scriptures
were read, congratulatory remarks were made by
him who had tied the knot. prayer was offered.
which was followed by a spontaneous outburst Of
the DONOlogy from members OF the family. Thus
passed pleasant evening.
