THE CLERICAL LAWS IN FRANCE.


It is singular fact that the application
of the clerical laws in France has been
quite generally treated by. the English
press as blunder or crime on the part
of the Government The theory proceeded
upon is that these laws are in the nature of
assaults upon the liberty of The citizen, but
it is not perceived that it always must be
impracticable to treat the Roman Catholic
Church from the standpoint of simple citi-
zenship. That Church cannot be regarded
as occupying the same relations to the State
as are held by all other churches, for 1t sets
ont with an assumption OF sovereignty
which ne other Church pretends to. 1t
claims, as the vicegerent of God on earth,
the right to dictate. not only in ecclesiasti-
cal, but in temporal matters, and though
its temporal Authority has been of late de-
MED, it has never abandoned one jot or
little of its demands, nor can it do so
without surrendering its whole posi-
ton. The subtle policy Which guides
the Vatican has led it to bow to the
opposition when resistance is impos-
sibIe, but neither submission nor
tolerance are attributes of Rome, nor can
she accept anywhere the second place as a
permanency. Finding that in France the
supreme power had fallen into the hands
of the people, and that it was no longer
possible to rule through an oligarchy. she
has set herself to regain control of the sit
uation by mastering the minds of the ris-
ing generation. But her educational ma
chinery is as much part of her struggle
for supremacy as her Councils and her
Propaganda, and it is a means of securing
influence far more subtle and far reaching
than the more open and conspicuous meth
DDS she employs elsewhere. 1t has there
fore become necessary for the stability of
the French Republic that the educational
machinery should be taken out of the
hands of the priesthood, and that ecclesi-
asticism should henoeforth be restricted to
its legitimate sphere. Since France has
chosen form of government the success
of which depends upon the intelligence of
the masses, it is absolutely necessary
that the education of those masses
should no longer be left to the agents of a
Power whose very constitution is incom-
patible with freedom, and all of whose eff
forts are continually directed to the over
throw of every Government which does
not acknowledge and defer to its exorbitant
pretensions. The question really at issue
in France oday is therefore the most mo-
mentous that can come before a people just
emerging into the light of national liberty.
1t is whether the franchise shall be en-
ployed intelligently, and for the preserva-
ton and perpetuation of free institutions,
or whether it shall become the tool OF
Rome, and be utilized to destroy the Re-
public, and to establish anew the regime
of superstition, intolerance, bigotry, and
intellectual stagnation.

THE RENAISSANCE OF MONTEREY.
Being Some Account OF the Evolution OF
a Fashionable Watering Place.

Every one who has given the subject
any consideration knows that watering
places are not governed by the laws which
control commercial centers Trade is
question of demand and supply, of facili-
ties of transportation, of central situations,
of low rents, and other factors which can
be estimated with some approach to pre-
cision. But nobody can calculate the des-
tiny of watering place, for it is dependent
upon that most capricious and volatile OF
all influences, called Fashion. At present
the greatest watering-place in England is
Brighton. 1t is a beautiful place, and de-
serves tc be the favorite resort it is. But
for something like thousand years its
attractions remained utterly unregarded,
and it was only when, in 1884, the Prince
of Wales afterwards George the Fourthl
was pleased with the place. and caused a
hideous structure called the Pavilion to be
erected there, that the world discovered
how charming summer residence could
be had within couple of hours drive
from London. A similar caprice has
marked the rise of nearly all
the most fourishing and popular watering
places in the United States. Saratoga,
Cape May, Long Branch, and score OF
equally well.k known resorts, have owed
their prominence far more to chance Incl
dents than to appreciation of their solid
attractions, and this appears to be the reg
ular order of things, against which it is
vain to rebel. 1t is therefore not to be
wondered at that Monterey, though per-
haps the best known of all California sea-
side places, and though industriously writ
ten up for over quarter of a century by
all kinds of Etterdteurs and verse-makers,
should have remained untouched by the
subtle spirit of Progress which has thrilled
through every other part of the State, and
should have done little more in all these
years than earn its sobriguet of the Sleepy
Hollow of California And in truth nc
one who visited Monterey six months age
could have perceived any reason why
it should ever awake from its chronic
lethargy. Six years ago mar
row. gauge railroad connected it with
the rest of the world Such a change
would have been new departure for any
other place, but Monterey only opened one
eye lazily, winked at the railroad, and i'm,
mediately sank into deeper slumber than
ever. All sorts of tourists and traveller;
have visited the place, and all alike have
commented on the marvellous placidity and
Unconditional happiness which marks the
lives of the Montereyans. Generally this
has been attributed to the sluggish nature
OF the Spanish blood that predominates il
the community, but this is not the true ex.
PLANTATION. Monterey was made by nature
Tor recreative and recupsrative purposes,
and the consequence is that all who live
there pass the indolent, dreamy, placid and
careless existence which active participants
in the battle of life know only during their
brief and infrequent visits to springs and
watering places.

THE GENESIS OF A wATERING-PLACF.
We have now to narrate series of facts
which though strictly true and soberly
practical, may appear to carry a flavor of
the inventive audacity of Dumas, or the
magnificent Oriental imaginativeness of the
Arabian Nights Entertainments, ratherthan
the ordinary events OF this every day world.
At the beginning of the present year the
Directors of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company were moved to purchase tract
of land in the vicinity of Monterey, and to
build there hotel of the first class. Now
the building of hotels and the buying of
land may seem very commonplace perform
ances, but in the present case the rule does
not hold good. The amount of land pur-
chased was seven thousand acres, and in
the midst of a wood of venerable and
magnificent oaks and pines, some of which
are from hundred to a hundred and fifty
feet high, and five or six feet in diameter,
it was decided to build the new hotel
The project was very largely Mr.. Charles
Crocker's, and his energy and push have
been distinguishable throughout its pro-
gress. 1t was at the end of February that
he stood talking to MIR. Arthur Brown, who
was the architect and designer of the
building, on the selected site, and it
was then he remarked that the hotel, to
be opened this year at all. should be
completed by the first of June. To an
ordinary architect such proposition would
have been absurd, and indeed Mr.. Croker
did not himself seriously intend to require
the completion of the undertaking within
the time named. Mr.. Brown, however,
had been employed on railroad work so
many years that he had acquired a strong
conviction of>the necessity of carrying out
all orders to the day and hour, and there
fore he never thought of questioning his
chief s decree, but set himself at once to
build the hotel. Be it understood that
this was no slight or temporary or small
edifice, but most elaborate, handsome,
spacious and composite structure, of which
every detail must be thoroughly worked
out, in which no scamping would be per-
.nitted, and which therefore called for the
best possible work in the shortest possible
time Next to the marvels of Aladdin S
Lamp and the Count of Monte Cristo, it
is probable that the most wonderful feat
of building on record is that of Fonthill
Abbey, by the celebrated Beckford, the
author of "Vathek." Possessed OF
enormous wealth, and impatient to see the
design completed, he employed double re-
lays of mechanics, and pushed forward the
work night and day until it was finished.
In that case. however, haste was at the
expense of stability. for one of the great
towers, which he had caused to be built
by torchlight, fell down soon after it was
finished, and part of the main building
also collapsed No such risks were run in
the construction of

of Michigan for Blaine, as was generally
