GUS; productions are run up in
price, and are undersold by other
nations who have place in the
sunshine. The consequences of the
success of French strikes may be
vividly read in the diminishing ex-
portations of the country.
Messrs. Moody and Sankey have
terminated their Paris campaign.
The French put them and the Sal
vationists in the same sack. Ex-
cept in a very limited circle Of fol-
lowers, they created no sensation.
The singing passed off well, but
the rest was only SO so. French
congregations must be addressed
by the head; they are not so
much an irregligines, as an indiffe-
rent people. In their professionalism,
there is nothing emotimal nor place
sensational, and above all, nothing
commonplace. This will explain
why the French cannot comprehend
the notoriety acquired by the
American prevebers. AS for the
SOlvatimists, they are simply received
as curiosities.
During the joint expedition of the
English and French in China, the
latter were commended by the
Comte de Palikao, who cut up badly
at the fall of the Second Empire
his private secretary was Comte de
Herissor, now a deputy and an Off
cial. 1t was well known that Pali-
kao had written anything but COM
plimentary remarks about his allies
to the Minister Of War-though he
took care to secure his share Of the
loet of the Summer Palace. Comte
d'Herisson, obtained permission to
copy these dispatches, with the
view Of publications; he pressed the
work forward, so that it might ap-
pear during the anglo-phobia fever.

the book will be brought out in
Belgium, and England will have
another proof of the drawbacks of
the Joint control" system.
AS the French will not go to Al
geria-nor any other colony, it is
proposed to bring the Arabs to
France, in the form Of soldiers, and
after training them in the southern
parts Of the country, send them back
to the place from whence they
came. While here, they will re-
ceive all the comforts of a home.
Mosques will be built for them, and
harems tolerated. France will then
have four endowed churches
Catholic, Protestant, Israelitish and
Mahomedan.
The suicides continue, and from
every motive, the most general
being, tRdilLn1 otto. The Seine casts
up rather an unpleasant number of
corpses, with no means Of being
identified. Some suggest misery,
others a comfortable position in life.
An affectionate husband found that
his wife had Suddenly disappeared
during the week, and brought a
good deal of cash away with her; he
swore by her chastity, till the police
discovered her living with one of
his ex-clerks. He Immediately
ordered his bill for dragging
the Seine to be sent him.
The authorities state, and show by
figures, that the outbreak of fever
has nearly disappeared. The sud-
denness of the fall in the death-rate
looks suspicious. 1t would never
answer to give the city bad name
at the opening of its season. How
ever the rich may take heart of
grace-they are only the poor who
are ''down."
General Billot, the minister of
war, is a phenomenon, he is the
twenty-frst child of his family, and
who as rule are ever viewed as
ne'er do wells. tbs needless to add
his parents are not Normands.
Louise Michel, who is the repre-
sentative Of murder, being one OF
the fine arts, confesses that she
sought to kill Napoleon III and
