Few of the Mississippi or Western
landslides can compare with one that
occurred near the villageo Of Draguignap,
in the department Of Var, about forty
miles north Of Toulon, France. There,
one day, an area of more than 10000
square feet sank suddenly to a depth of
100 feet. The bottom Of the hole thus
formed vas soon covered with water;
the hole itself is of an oval form. From
the sudden appearance Of water OF the
bottom it is supposed that the ground
had been previously undermined by a
subterranean %watercourse, which seems
the more likely, since there is q record
Of a similar occurrence there about a

Francois Vincent Raspail.

The death of Francois Vincent Raspail, an
nounced by cable, ends most singular and va
ried life. Aside from the political features of
his long career his name was universally known
throughout France and Belgium because of his
medical work among the people. 1t was one of
the aims of his life to show the poor the folly
of their unhealthy ways of living and the SIM
pie remedies which vera within the reach of
every one. His "Manuel de la Sante," sort
of family medicine book. had az immense sue
cess and created great unpeasantness between
Raspail and the medical faculty. Although his
faith in the efficacy of camphor was a hobby
and was carried perhaps too far, the undoubted
value of much of his work has been recognized
by high authority and is undsputed.
Raspail was born on the 18th of January,
1894. After teaching for a time at Avignon,
where his liberal opinions in theology and the
natural sciences were not relished. he went to
Paris soon after the fall of Napoleon and sup
ported himself by giving lessons and writing
for scientific publications. His bent toward
politics was strong and got him into
continual trouble. He was identified
with every Republican secret society in
government as he did for the furtherance
Of his philanthropic schemes. In the revo-
luton of 1880 he was wounded, and the
following year imprisoned for his published
opinions. lie passed theigroater part of the next
six years in confinement. The revolution of
1S48 brought him no relief; his projects were
even then deemed too subversve OF all order,
and for his attacks on the provisional
government he was again imprisoned. The sac
CESS of his medical work however, was by this
time assured, and the faith of the people in
him was unbounded. While in prison he was
elected deputy twice, and third time in 1869,
when he sat on the radical side with Roche
fort. After the Commune, in which he played
a subordinate part, he was imprisoned for an
other year and was then elected deputy from

We admit willingly that the Yankees are
an inferior race to the descendants of Cortez,
Montezuma and Hidalgo, and are below our
resentment. They are even belog our
contempt. Hence Mexico can gain no honor
by conquering them, and the national honor
OF Mexico can not be involved in the question
at all. 1t is not fight between two nations.
1t is like gentleman whipping cur that

Gringo dogs good manners, that's all. We
thought the height of Yankee insolence had
been reached when they demanded the ex-
tradition of the heroes of the storming of the
Rio Grande city jail. Gen. Canales merely
raised his whip and the big dogs at Washing

generosity of the great Mexican people, and
that is an appeal that is never made in vain.
We could afford to be magnanimous to
