The value of the renCS muSG 1all1 de-
that merchandise appears to be I'LL
limited in the market. The shares
of the chief financial establishments
are low, bnt not sick; they suffer
from the suspicious and doubts that
weigh on monetary matters since
the Krach. Railway shares suffer
especially from the unknown,
Panama stock has had serious
tumble, not as a consequence of the
recent earthquake in the lsthmus,
but owing to some large spectators
selling out. The future of the un-

those who believe more or less in

Egypt an0 Arab do not attract
very much attention. In fact moth
ing decisive es to the real intentions
of France can be known, till the
Chamber discusses the alleged Sac

ply the eternal joint control. When
England and Egypt withdraw,
France cannot represent a trinity ;
unless she became "three single gen.
tlemen rolled into one" Egypt for
thelEnglish, and theDIthe Egyptians
that's about the whole case. and so
much the better for all concerned.
To open up railways to Upper Egypt
and find outlets for the rich regions
of Soudan, that is the work for
friend Bull.
The Bishop of AmieuS, Manager
Guilbert, is one of the most sensi-
BILE and liberal minded men in
France. He has in pastoral, sent
a terrible and well-deserved broad
side into the souls Of journals,
whose existence, like their matter,
passeth all understanding. The
most violent diatribes against every
respectable Institution, are the pro-
auctions of persons totally untitled,
by absence of education and ex-
perience, for the duty. Many of the
thunderers of the local press are
merely schoolboys. The Bishop
not alone deprecates the
atheistical and anti-clerical press.
he is not a less whit severe, for
these journals are more papal than
the Pope, and more royalIst than
the king. The venerable bishop is
70 years of age, and leads the new
school, that Of the separation of
politics from religion, and of which
the Pope himself is reported to be a
member; he is chaplain of the local
fre-brigade, and performs all the GER
emonies of births, marriages, and
deaths connected with the corps he
he has 600 parishioners in his do
cese; he has refused several times
an archbishoprick, and even a car
dinaPs hat his ambition is to secure
peace and good will among all
classes Of his epiScopacy, and when
dead, to be buried il his cathedral
the noblest of tombs.
The courts open in November, and
this term is marked by a religious
ceremony called a red mass" Ow-
ing chiefy'to the scarlet robes of the
judges; in the south of France, at
Nice and Wines especially, the first
Sunday after All Saints day, wit
ness the celebration Of the white
so named, because attended
by unmarried ladies, who expect a
Catharine may bestow on them a
husband during the current year.
The congregation is all dressed in
white; girls of fifty years standing
Slip-in-but hope springs immortal
in the human breast: in Brittany
there takes place the meSSe
griSe-the latter signifylng in
this instance not greg, but a drunk
ard. The congregation is composed
of reformed tipplers; after the GER
emOny the goody-goody folks drink
the health of the clergy, to a degree
to change the blue into yellow
ribbon. In the Ardennes, the first
Sunday after Easter, witnesses the
of the blue mass; it is
limited to wives beaten by their
husbands; the dress of the congre-
cation is blue-the color of the Vir-
gins robe, and the Virgin is ''always
the best judge of a lady's case" In
the GironGe, there is celebrated on
Whit Tuesday, the green mass, spec
tally for the benefit of barren Wo-
men; the dress word is green-the
color of hope; many fruitful vines
may lie traced to the influences of
the day; perhaps like Mr.. Chick, an
effort is induced. The Bonapartists
have two UioJet masses annually.
The black mass is limited to those
to death.
Dentist DR.. Evans has secured
the transportation of his private
secretary for three ve:!Is, Cor fraud
ulent bookkeeping. The delinquent
had salary of SCOOP. a year, and by
picking and stealing. raised it to
100000. His wife expended 2,O00f.
yearly on flowers for her rooms.
The secretary was a model of amia-
bility; his smile had the effect of
gas on the patrons, and so
allowed the painless extraction to
be performed. On one occa-
sion, the Prince of Wales pre-
scented a scarf pin to the secretary,
and that figured at the trial.
