The difficulties OF the political situation In
France have been settled TO the common salts
| faction Of nearly everybody concerned. What
| ever may be tho natural shortcomings OF tho
| French M politicians. there can BIZ no question
| that adversely has taught them good lessons.
and that ut the present moment oven the most
| extreme OF the political factions Of France are
| as reasonable and manageable az any body OF
this Kind can be expected TO bc. 1t was evident
that Gambctta would be able % retain his con-
troll over tho extreme left. and that his common
| sense would dictate to him tho desirnbilty
Of an amicable settlement. The apprehen-
sion that his personal ambition would
push him into seeking tho Office Of tho
heal Of the Cabinet was utt ry unfounded. He
| knows. better than anybody else that neither
| his age nor his early career fits him for such a
| position. Another twenty-five years-if his
ancurism allows him To live 80 long-may cause
| the past 10 b0 forgotten. and Gambetta at sixty
or sixty five may provo to De n desirable person
even for the post Of President. But at present
his Bohemian past is too fresh 10 the memory
Of every waiter. every shop girl and every petty
| lawyers clerk IN Paris. and France has not vet
! freed itself from monnrchichal and arlstocratic
traditions. Ganbetta knows we'll tho difference
between France in calamity and France in pros
perity. aud ii he readily undertook the Dictator
ship in 1870 II lid not follow that he would take
any leading public oflcc in 1879. He is one Of
| the fnw Mnrseihcso who worship comfort and
are horribly afraid Of rdicuc.

The tenth wintor exhibition Of works by the
old masters at Burlington House appears to be
great success. 1t is not SO remarkable for oil
paintings rs for drawings and miniatures. The
most eminent collectors have placed their treas
ures Of art at the service Of the Royal Academy
and the Queen herself has sent in q precious
collection ofdraNings by Holbein and Leonardo
da Ninci. and series of admirable studies by
Raphael.

There is loud outcry in London against tho
parsimony OF the new Lord Mayor. Mon like
Sir Benjamin Phillips have accustomed the
London public to sec enormous sums Of money
spent in supporting the great civic dignity. But
the present Lord Mayor seems to DO intent
