PARIS. October rs.

1AhIS, OCIOUC4 AO'
Something like playing at nihil-
ism, tempered with communism, is
taking place in different parts of the
country. It is not exactly clear
what it all means; the trial and ar
rest of some of the active adherents,
rather than ringleaders, do not dis
close very much beyond organized
roWdyism. The organization dp-
pears to be an adopted son Of the
International, and q distant son of
nihiIism. Anarchists is the general
name the knaves, the idiots and the
lunaticS! aspire to be known by.
Ali is fish no matter how stale, that
comes to the net. Dynamite threat
ening letters, incendiary proclama-
lions are some eff the measures
resorted to for the extirpation of
the middle classes. The govern
ment has nipped the eyil-perhaps
in the bud; but this eruption under
the republic is not the less painful.
1t now behooyes thelmenaced order,
to this time, present aresolute front
to the communistic revival. The
healthy feature about the ulcer is
that the honest working man keeps
aloof from the Jewellers.
The moEarchiSts Of all classes
make capital .Gutof this,conspiracyOf
the roughs; predict the extinctiOnsof
the republic before the arrival even
of the millennium. But this is to
sell the skin of the bear before hav-
ing killed bruin. They sigh for an
old Dandolo touch; of an eighteen
BrunsaiTe or a two December. It
is not from either the anarchists or
the monarchists that the Republic
runs danger, but from the continued
internal strife among its devotees.
The efforts to bring about discipline
and Cancellation, make no way. The
parliamentary institution has weak
legs. Deputies are not educated up
to that point of the English consti-
ton, when it becomes necessary to
put personal inclinations aside, and
accept what the nation, the major
ity wills. The next session will be
very Important, asif the representa-
tiyes GUST the ministry-the most
likely event in the world, legisla-
ton will be brought to a standstill,
and which will fatally react on
public opinion. The ScTutGfa de
ltSte would not be used, and general
elections, without being conducted
on that plan, would only aggravate
the evils existing.

pie smile at the cry, and others in

only remains for England to re-
constitute Egypt, and to take good
care that no foreign nation shall
scheme her out of her present
invulnerable position and unques-
tionably acquired rights In
secretly executing a codical to the
Bardo treaty, France has indicated
the duty of England. The solution
of Tunisia is that of Egypt. M. de
Lesseps gives no sign of life; the
prospect of the barbarians making
a second canal has acted as a cul-
mant, and further, there is no know
ing what dance England may lead
him, if the administration of the
canal, that took sides with the re-
bellion, be oYerhauled at the con-
ference, 10 which de Lesseps has
appealed. The Americans say he
is closely occupied solving how to
prevent earthquakes swallowing up
the Panama speculation, specula-
ton in which it is easier to buy
shares than to sell them.
The passage alarms between the
Africans, Stanley and de Brazza has
not been personally to the advan-
tage of the former. The Stanley
Club is composed of foreign press
men, and we have Bohemian Or

lude to Stanley not being in court
costume, after wandering months in
the interior, where neither Poole
nor a Dusautoy was to be had. DE

he deserves mere honor than Stan

being made to do duty for MAnches-
ter calicoes, was funny, but not
wise, and the criticism on De Braz-
zo's high travelling expenses, con-
cerned only the French geograph-
zeal society. at the close of the
harangue, de Brazza dropped in like
Puck; delivered an impromptu
"well-prepared" speech; two events
that had greater effect on Stanley
than his famous naval engagement
during his first voyage. Mutual
friends have prevented the quarrel
degenerating into duel. Outside
