PARIS. May 81. 1882.
Too facts have been demons
trated: Arab Pacha is responsible
for the enteUte of the students, and
since the establishment OF the re-
public, Involves have largely aug
mented in France. From time i'm
memorial, the students have exer-
cised the right of manifestation
sometimes the explosion was caused
by an obnoxious professor, an lille
gitimate dramma, or an oppressed
nationality-like Poland. The Latin
quarter has ever claimed to be the
prartroian guards of virtue; it was
moved with indignation, when a
famous Idemi-mondian during the
expiring days of the second empire,
undertook to represent cupid on the
stage; it has just now been worked
up to fever heat, because its halloWed
ground the "Bullier Ball" became
the haunt of the AlphOnse tribe
wretches who sponge upon pr0Stl-
tutes. The students resolved to
lynch that category of degraded in
dividuals; the police interfered,
and the young intellect at once con-
centrated its attack on the hobbies,
receiving marks from knuckle dus-
tiers and sabres, as if they had run
the gauntlet Of several settling days
at Heidelberg University. The gov
eminent is censured for allowing
the police to indulge in apostolic
knocks on the heads of students,
being too wholly engrOssed with
that formost man Of the time Arab
Pacha.
The invasion of the Germans led
to a cessation of wOlf-hunting: they
thought probably that a Pommer-
anian grenadier or an Ublare
might be mistaken for the quadru-
ped: further, the invader had dis
armed the districts he occupied.
The wolves seized the occasion to
increase and multiply, and the re-
public looks on, only offer
ing from 40 to 200 francs
for every head captured. But
under the dynasties packs of
wolf-hOunds were supported by the
and gentry, who now have
ceased to do so. Indeed, the truth
must be confessed, the sporting and
wealthy classes are not on the side
Of the republic.
Remembering that the first king
was a successful soldier, Arab
Pacha naturally aims at the purple.
One dynasty more in the scores that
have existed since Sesostris, cannot
affect much the general account.
France and England would not be
aggrieved were someBunsen to serve
Arab as he did Sesostris, cut him
up into three distinct persenages; or
that the less painful calam-
ity might ensue, as happened to
an ancient monarch Of Egypt, that |
Of being devoured by crocodile. |
Here no one DISCUSSES the truth,
that the attitude of France and
England is Stiffness itself; that |
lron-clads intended not to shoot, are
as harmless as Nuremberg soldiers
at two confines the gross. Arab |
holds England by the threat to cut !
he canal or sink a few barges |
herein, perhaps try one of the lat
EST improved torpedoes on q swift |
merchant steamer. He holds France
0y her money claims and industrial
Investments. at this very moment
4 company is gathering capital to
arm the industrial resources of the
and of Goshen.
The least of evils is considered, !
save with the French to be, the
,alling in the unspeakable Turk, to
'estore order in dominiens of which
lie is acknowledged on all sides to
De the sovereign. Once in, it will
9e as difficult to get him to retire, as
Austria from Bosnia, or Russia
rom Turkestan. The Sultan re-
the adage of his new men
;or, Bismarck-the state that yields
Up territory is on the road to ruin.
England does this occasionally, but
when she obtains twice as
much in another direction for her
acri6ce. Turkey has outWitted the
.bility of the westerns in securing
heSultan footing after forty years
.bsence from Egypt. Bismarck
Dlants permanentlya throne in the
Iank Of the African possessions
If France; this, with a hostile Italy
nd st. Gothard Tunnel to send
German troops at will into the plains
f Milan, will keep France en-
,lOyed. Then all the great powers
tanning to administer Egypt, the
,uez Canal, ETC., with Turkey alien
ted from England, does not open a
right prospective for John Bull.
The French correspondents con- ;
niue to draw especial attention to =
he marked hostility of Greece to-
Yards France. Indeed, since the
after promised to aid the Greeks in
heir late quarrel against Turkey
'ut didn't, they are no longer in the
dor Of sanctity at Athens. The in
.uence of France in the East is now
n its trial, and her horizon there {
las several points 7lOirS.
N. Remains discourse recently at
he Academy continues still to be
iscussed; it has raised several deli
ate questions. Foremost, why this
ountry, ready for so much self-sac-
ifce. and having so many willing
minds, still lacks direction and unity
+ action? Nothing could be more
rue and apropos than his assertion
hat the real enemies of France
we're the presumptuous, who
altered her faults and grew !
