FRANCE.

PARIS, Oct. 23.-It is said that England
has sent a note to Francs complaining OF
the prolonged occupation of Tamali7e
Madagascar, TO the injury of conn srcial
interests.
PARIS, Oct. 23.-The Yellow Book recoQnts

improved. They now can move frs ely to
all ports on the Red river delta anG hold
all strategic points in that territory. The
Mandasins VINO resist authority VIII be re-
moved by the king of Aunam and the peo-
pie are regaining confidence. Annamite
troops are disbanded. The black flags re-
treat The French army only
waits reinforcsments to complete
the pacifcation of the country.
The book also gives at length the details
of negotiations with China which have
been conducted, it says, with good temper
on both sides. France firmly demanded
the non-interference of ChIua and the
withdrawal of her troops from the country
and China indicated her willingness to
come to some arrangement, but declined to
accede to the demands of France.
In the coarse of the negotiations, which
were thrice broken off, Lacour observed
that the presence of Chinese troops il Ton
quin, whatever might be the motive, en-
couraged. and assisted the enemies of France
and begged TZeng to cali the serious at
tention of the government of China to the
consequences and to the danger that would
result from conflict of France and China.
The government of China submitted pro-
pOsals involving the evacuation of lou
quIn-by the French troops, the maintain
ance of the Zlzerainty OF China over the
territory, and the opening of certain towns
to the benefits of trade. The proposals
were rejected b. France.
A counter proposal submitted by France
the 18th of September for neutral zone,
between China and Tonquin. This prop
osition was declined by Chine the 15.h of
October; that government declario1 she
would accept neutral zone only OH tho
north51n instead of The southern frontier
of Tonquin, while it was stated she was
also willing TO make arrangements for
opening the River Delta to trade. The
Yellow Book concludes as follows: ''Thus
France demands the whole OF Northern
AMMAN and French evacuation thereof,
allowing Us only the southern provinces.
No doubt the arrival of reinforcements to
the expedition will promptly terminate

challenge was accepted, and at

mora Perry in The Manhattan.1


II we could go some day
Before age claims us for hisprey,
Drop out of all this strife
That we call life,
And without coward fears,
, Or fainting flesh or wasting tears,
Find suddenly the land
Of all our dreams, and stand
There, face to face with treasure lost,
The friends whose dread departure cost
Our souls such sore distress,
Such agonies of wretchednesS-
1t we could 60 like this
With consciousness of bliss
Set full before us, who would say
To linger on the way
Through weary year by year
Till time was ripe and sere,
With length of days and losss
But set upon the cross
OF mystery and pain
We wait and wait again.
Perhaps through threescore years
Of doubling hopes and fears,
And at the end we say,
''Ah, what little day
OF joy is life, and long, oh long,
The day of pain" Then from the throng
We drop away, while others sigh,
Bending above our clay and cry
As we have cried, "Why should we wait like
this
In darkness and in doubt; why miss
So much OF life in wasting pain.'

old mar. The groom was closetedlwithin
the house, and she went TO seek him. She
still wore the enormous hat and mantle.
When she found the groom he greeted her
! With great gravity. They both approached
the ancestral tablet and bowed their heads
three times. They next took seats at q
small table bearing two goblets tied to-
gether with thread aud containing wine.
The go-between severed the thread, but the
bride failed to quench her thirst, owing to
enormous hat and mantle.
The two were now man and wife. The
husband took the hat and mantle from the
bride, and for the first time in his life had
look at her. After he had looked at her
for some minutes, he called in his friends
and guests. They scrutinised her and made
no bones of expressing their opinions con-
corning her charms. The females gave
their tongues full scope, and had &c N roy
on the poor bride. She took it all without
making any disagreeable answer, for fear
that the match would be considered an un-
lucky one. These cruel criticisms ended,
she was introduced to her husbands parents
after which she saluted her own father
and mother.
The wedding feast was then served, the
sexes eating IN different apartments. The
males were served by the bridegroom and
his male relatives, and the females by the
bride and her mother-in-law, assisted by
servants. The two sexes rarely sit down
at the same table.
Marriage is very common among the
Chinese. You hardly ever come across a
girl of 16 or 18 who is not tied down to
some man. II woman commits adultery
after marriage she is decapitated under the
law. The man, however, is allowed to
keep as many concubines as he can sup
port. their children being legitimate, bat
coming after the children of the wife. If
the concubines livs under the same roof,
they are mere servants of the wife. Some
rich married men keep concubines in sepa-
rate apartments. Such positions are
eagerly sought By damsels of very fair
parentage.

less she uses the Diamond Dyes. Many dollars

Too Many Doctors.

Witness the large number of doctors
in every city struggling for mere exist
cncc. and see how very few out of the
whole number really do the work. Sec
how in almost every country village Il
good practice for two or three men is
picccmcalcd by sharp and often acri-
monious competition, to the detrimcnt
of all. 1t would seem that in acallingso
high. So noble, SO sacred, mel fit for
such ministry should be sought for: but
the great question of the young graduate
is not. "Who want me-" but
"Who will employ mc:' not "Who
needs me ?" but ''Whcrc can / get a liv-
ing? :" In the case of four physicians
dying. each in a country village. during
the last year, ! am crcdibly Informed
that in one instance two, in another
three. in the third five, and in the fourth
case seven new men came to look the
field over within ten days after the doc
tors death, sometimes before the burial.
In one case ten attended the funeral, and
in another the widow had three letters
from aspirants for the vacant place while
the body of her husband still lay in the
house.
1t is a hackncycG saying, with which
too many ears are ticklcd: that " there is
always room for good men," Applied
to the present condition Of Cur profession,
it is false. Were only good men and the
best men admitted, it would undoubtedly
be true. But all over the. land, in city
and country, are wcll-educatcd, cult
waited gentlemen, honest and loyal, striv-
ing in vain to secure a compctcncc-ycs,
ii bare living overland too often is dis
appointment mingled with shame
and modification at the success
of Ignorant and unprinciplcd rivals.
| have said that the evil
results of the excess in numbers are mani
fold. 1t leads to ovcr-practice and to
bad practice. The mar who is hard
pushed, who mas few patients and needs
more, is tempted to make much of little,
to magnify the Importance of his cases,
both in his own mind and to his patrons;
to make uncalled-fo visits, and to give
too much medicine; an unnecessary medi-
cation ceases tc be rational. Patients are
injured in mind and body. The COM
munity is injured by teaching the people
to attach undue Importance to trivial
diseases, and to overestimate the value
of treatment therein. Legitimate, honest
practice suffer-, in reputation; money is
obtained under false pretences.-New
York Medical Record.
