promise to retire from Egypt. Some
believe abe will never quit the land
of Goshen, and these are nearest the
truth. If the mission of England be-.
to teach nations how to live, the
sooner she boldly takes that task in
hand for Egypt the better. NJ. de
Lesseps has contributed to lay the
cholera scare, by prescribing his
remedy-a well ordered stomach and
being q stranger to fear. Political
ends have been pressed into writing
up Egyptian cholera.
Formerly the 18th OF August
was big holiday in France under
the empires. Napoleon I. aopropri.
ated the Festival of the Assumption to
his cause. when. in 1907. be formally
went to Notre Dame, and assured
the archbishop, he came to pray and
to return thanks to God for his victo
ries. II was the only day in the year
when beggars became free traders,
when they were at liberty to choose
their victims. 1t was, in a word,
their carnival. Now it is solemn
church fete, we'll observed by the fe-
male portion of the population, the
true guardians OF religion in France,
for the male sex are only go up to
bsyhood.
The Virgin Is the pstroness of
cleaners in France, and the farmers
who never dispute a few ears OF corn
to them will become rich, and have
many and beautiful children. Mary
was the daughter of Joachim and
Anne. of the tribe OF judah, who
were very poor. There is no exact
record of her birth. 1t ia presumed
to be in the year OF the world, 4010.
At three years she was passed in the
temple, and like Samuel, there
brought up, during eleven or twelve
years, when che became the spouse
OF Joseph. and brought forth her Son
in her sixteenth year. She is pre-
sumed to have died at Jerusalem,
aged 70, and three days after her
death, on q 18th OF August, was
taken up into heaven.
There are fifteen millions OF chill

In the rising generation I observed
no change in the character of the
French. The girls will ever be like
their mothers. emotional, senti-
mental, affectionste, brave, and de-
voices to duty, while performing their
religious obligations. But the boys
are the very antithesis of English and
American lads. There are plenty OF
schools springing up, plenty of excel
lent works on education published.

schools. Pluck, manliness, courage,
and selt~relisnce, are the unknown

audacity to act and think, though
proud of his independence.
The police give notice, that an
English child, aged three years, has
been found deserted in the Zoo gar
dens. That's the way to act when
picking up stray foreigners, and is
better than shutting them up in a
lunatic asylum, as NJ. Heine, the
American tourist, knows to his cost.
An aged lawyer and his sister,
have been murdered in full day, in
their residence situated in ore of the
principal streets of the city. A young
man, under the pretence to seek re-
lief, battered their skulls in with q
hammer in order to rob. A moneys

good number of clients in his net,
