MS SORROWS begin, but these care:
are as but nothing, compared with
those incident to the formation OF 4
cabinet. Since Gambetta is engaged
In this work of creating a happy
family, ha has quite down-cas
look. Richard is not hi Gselt. With
the ministry goes Ceser and all biz
fortune: some day or other Gam BETA

only Assyrian kings and Napoleonic
dynasties live for ever; he has friends
as well as Toes, that would not regret
the arrival OF that event as early as
possible: there are others who have
remembered Gambetta when the
minister Of national dispair, and now
look to him as the minister OF
national hope. The knowing ones

Gambetta's not only succeeding TO
but retaining the premiership, that

Inc object IN discussing Lne COL

of its members entering lEto The new
grand cabinet, spd more especially
it's ex-head, Jules Ferry who is openly
accused OF having thrown dust In the
eyes of the cid chamber. AS be will
not be impeached, 40 further interest
is felt in him. The OUTCOME minister
Of wars position, General Fare, is
diff rent; his demonstrated incspacity
reflects on Gsmbetta, whose influence
not only secured him the Office, but
sustained him there. The general
claimed the thanks OF the country Tor
having supplied the expeditionary
corps with wooden SHOES; but be left

time supplied the soldiers with tea,
but be sent neither pots to make It.,
nor samovsrs to stew 1t, nor sugar to

at best for the army. as the French
only take tea as an aperient, regard
it as SIENNA of the boarding school
standard, and thus not calculated to
buoy Up hopes OF men victims OF dys-
entry and bsrreCk tYphus. More
serious; tue discussion revealed, that

best to have the truth out. Minister
Ferry was also not only accused of
tricking the Beg into signing peace,
but practising the same on the late
chamber-suppressing the truth for
electoral ends; similarly, when as
