PARIS LETTER.
To the Editor of the MOrristOwn Gazette:

PARIS, FRANCE, Jan. II, 1885,
The first lot Of engineers and 9th
er gentlemen, forty eight in all con
nected with the cutting of the Inter
Oceanic Canal, left Paris last even
, ing en- route for Panama. NJ. d
Lesseps, accompanied by severa
friends, took leave of the traveller
at the st. Lagare Station. All seem
ed in a state of the greatest enthusi
asm, and the train left amid repeat
ed cries of "Vive La France r
"Vive M. de Lesseps |" The party
left St Nagaire this morning in the
Lafayette, the vessel which took
out the first explorers, and after
wards NJ. de Lesseps with the Tech
nical Committee.
NJ Louis Blame was taken i'll after
BlanqWis' funeral yesterday, and his
house was to-day beseiged by eager
inquirers after his health. AL
though he was still seriously indis-
posed this morning, the accounts
are much more favorable tonight.

Of Cipriani, the Italian who has
just been expelled from France for
taking part in political demonstra-
tions, the htrdnSigeant Indignantly
declares to-day that it does not want
any Bonapartist allies. 1t sees in
ID. de Cassagnac "the incarnation of
its hatred in the past, and begs him
henceforth to count himself among
its enemies in the present. Oppor-
tunists and imperialism are one and
the same thing. Go, Monsieur de
Cassagnac, Gambetta is holding out
his arms to receive you. II. Paul
de Cassagnac thanks NJ Henri |
ROchetort's journal for its disinter-
osted advice, but asks its permission
to wait little before he throws
into NJ. Gambetta's arms. |
In an amusingly cynical article, he |
treats the Extreme Radicals with
being always the lean ones Of the
Republican party, and predicts that
if ever they get into Office they will /
grow fat and lazy like the rest.
you the lean alone have
principles and that is the very rea-
son why they are lean. The fatter
they grow the faster do their prin-
ciples evaporate." NJ. de Cassag-
nae admitted that he voted for the
Penary Amnesty and defeated NJ.

NJ Cipriana against NJ Andriux,

At meeting held yesterday at
he Elysie, NJ Jules Roche held
Orth as the champion of the "Rev-
luton against Religion" He ad-
'ocated the separation of Church .
nd State, the suppression of the i
tipends allowed to the clergy, and
declared that it would be every

eive S50,0O0,00O annually, a sum ;
