BULL FIGHT NEAR PARIS.
PARIS, August 18th, 1885.
The Pyrenees no longer exist: France can beat
Spain hollow in bnll-fghts. On Sunday last, the
protestant city Of Mines in the southeast of France
four hundred and eighty miles from Paris, and
containing l65 600 inhabitants, witnessed butch
ery of six bulls the dsemboweling of eleven horses
and the wounding of one matador, who proved an
unhappy dispatch man. MINES IS one oil the love
liest cities of the sunny south; was the pet Roman
| COLONY under the Emperor Augustus: 1t Is built on
seyen hills like the capital of Italy, and has as
many ruins-thanks TO Nandals, Nisigoths and
| Draponades as Rome herself. By climate and sit
uation the region of Mines has been justly called
Gallo Italy. Madrid apologies for her bull lights,
as the receipts 20 to support the hospitals; then
before the massacres commence the champions
deile in front of the royal box and next before
| the statue of the Virgin. In an out of the way
corner OF the arena, is room, where surgeon and
a clergyman are in attendance, TO minister to the
wants of any ripped performer. Emperurs and
Popes have Illuminated against bull-fghts an an
| cent Greek game at least common IN Ihessaly.
Yet to-day 10000 spectators, from all parts of the
country, assemble in the old Roman arena of
Mines, where, in the presence OF Official France
| and ali its local pomps and circumstance, the bar
barities in question have been perpetratedl They
put cock-hghting, badger drawing and wlfe-Sellng,
the current pastimes of the Anglo -Sa1ons-accor
ing TO Monsieur into the shade As in Madrid,
| ladies came to the shambles and GoringS, IN gala
toilettes. The Prefect and his family, as well as
many ether spectators, retired, i'll from the abat
toir ladies syooned from the atmosphere, impreg-
| mated with the blood fumes: but thousands re-
manned TO frantcally applaud each bull that Gored
horse, and tossed its rider among the crowd, and
when the matador inoited and fascinated the al
ready infuriated bull with his HHetd to plunge his
long, razor-sword into the animals withers, each
lunge of the Toledo blade augmented the frenzy of
the applause And to think, Mines prideS herself
on being the head quarters of Luther and Calvin!
Can General Booth march a division of his
dc Sdlnt there2 Do such carriages become the
boasted civizing mission Of the third republic?
IL was because the Prefect de Police refused 10 au
thorize the Duchesse de Mouchy to organize III
Paris few years ago such slaughteriug, to pro
mote cleanliness among tue dwellings of the poor,
that she fell sick with rage and was nigh unto
death.
POLITICS.
The ELECTORAL campaign Is in full SWING. but till
the first decade of October the result cannot be
usefully guessed. Opinion lncllnes to believe the
radicals and monarchists will be reinforced at the
expense of the moderates. Clemenceau continues
to stump the country, and Jules Ferry has COM
menced following III his tracks, asserting, Clemen-
ceau's programme Is his ideal, only neither of them
could carry 1t out. Jules Ferry Is a man not only
Of talent, but of pluck; he is not popular He
seems to have no small dose of audacity TO face
his own journals assert he has been welcomed as
a conquering hero while the opposition swear like
Dirk Hatterik, he was Missed and hooted with Ma
poleon the Third Bazine anmOsity. Which side of
the shield can one believe? Evidently the fault
or crime of Ferry is, not to have been able TO
freight few galllOts with the nuggets of his gold
mines at Tonkin. But his rival, Clemenceau,
would not be granted the highest place in the pad
oga of Buddha, Conscience territory, the return
of Tonkin, Tunisia and Madagascar. Respecting
the latter better not dispose of the bears skin
| till Bruin be killed. When the moment comes, 1t
will be found that the financial question will be
the difficulty ahead of France. Like all spend
| thrifts, it may be said, she lives on borrowed
| money. The expenditure for 1886 has Just been
officially puLlished viz $50 millions sterling, or
3A mllliards francs year. That rate of living
cannot be maintained there is limit to the
goose's laying golden eggs. The tax-producing
power of France has been surpassed, and the prof
its from foreign trade, checked by the cheaper
made goods of other nations.
RENTS AND TAXES.
Living in Paris is becoming gordian knot for
thousands of people. Within the last four years.
the population has diminished by 100000, and
since this spring. by 1900. The exodus is caused
by the high rents and the over taxed necessares
of life, which much less in the suburbs. There
are or were building companies for the erection of
| palace mansions, now without tenants but no So
/ cieties for building homes for the artizans and
| tradesmen. NJ. de Button proposes the sad rem
edy of starting national lottery of ten millions OF
| francs, TO secure the necessary capital. France
has plethora of lotteries, and the people who pur
| chase the tickets, the poor rs a rule, no longer
nibbe even at the bait.
FOREIGN POLITICS.
| The most striking curiosity i'll foreign politics
is the absence in the press, of those neurological
articles on the decay of Old England. Clearly she
must be getting strong in the knees again. Rela-
| tive to Afghanistan, nouGht is everything and
everything is nought. Opinion however, does not
swerye, that Russia thinks it prudent TO don the
foxs skim she knows she is being well watched just
now, and that Is a powerful stimulus to remaining
hoLest The Anglo-Chinese alliance may not be
fact but 1t is more certain to be taken should the
Muscovite continue TO expand. The chief work of
the British Cabinet Is considered here to be, that
of securing friendships, which later, can be turned
into practical help Of course, Bismarck S conduct
| in deserting France for England, is subject too
deep for tears, as if the Chancellor cared straw
about either charner, beyond which would be the
most useful. When he is gathered To his fathers
no flags will be run up half mast hiSh perhaps
Parlslans may illuminate, as they formerly did,
when the Prince of Orange quit this vale of tears
| that pucky Prince who offended Louis XIV, by re
fusing TO wed one of hls natural daughters, alleg
ing that it was weakness with the house of Orange
/ to marry only the legitimate daughters of Kings
'Sir WOlh's' circRiar tour would require the magi
of Egypt to reveal its import the guess is not far
wrong that i'll bringing to the 'front.' the Sultan as
the legitimate Lord of Egypt, while England sets
| the Satrapy in order for HIM, holding 1t Cyprus
like, the international panacea becomes as remote
as the British evacuation. Everything is possible
even 10 leOpards changing their spots, there
Is evidence that the Ethiopian, that is the negro is

AN APOSTLE OF COMMUNISM
The Communists have had especial blow, on the
occasion of the Inauguration of the bust of Blan-
qui on his tomb. Their numbers is not in propor-
ton to their noise and the real workmen have long
ceased TO have connection with the politics of
sounding brass and tinkling oymbas. Every man
has now his vote, so there Is necessity for pro-
pagandism by "faots." which being interpreted
mean barricades and muskets Blanaui has
been one of the strongest men revolutionary
France has ever produced. Born at Nice, of a
| respectable family, he received most careful
education. He had no beliefs, only convictions
and each conviction was for him, a ThermopyIie.
| His candor was frighttul-whenever he avowed
He never posed, never desired to be 4 martyr; but
was ever in prison. His father was an ardent re-
publican, but disiked the Mountain party on au.
| count of its violence and bad manners. His son
was tue opposite, The father had narrow escape
from being guiliotlned with the Girondins and
his ten months of imprisonment he wrote, were so
many months of agony. His sons life may be
sand to have been passed in prison. Banuui's
brother was distinguished economist, and sue
ceeded the eminent j. b. Say in the professorsbip
OF the dismal Science. He was a keen observer |
and a maryellously lucid writer Blanqui left no |
memoirs, which Is to be regretted as his life was
tull OF dramatic episodes and legendary advent
ures. When he came TO Paris to study law and |
medicine, he took part in an emeute in 1927 and |
received bullet in the neck. He attacked the |
Iulllerles in 1880 with his co-reyulutionist but
now president of the Republic, Jules Grew He |
was always audaciOus, and ever ready to fight |
Though conquered oft, he battled still He was |
the standing advocate of the working classes |
against the middle classes. His eloquence was |
fascinating being mixture of the sadness of |
Dante and the impetuOslty of Murat. He claimed |
to remain IN rags for the Republic, while others |
enjoyed the butterfly role. He, the wreck from |
physical and moral tortures frail and debilitated |
was the advocate of the sacred right of insurrec.
ton to remedy all social wrongs. Endowed with |
great intelligence, he rested for support on the |
uneducated masses and on men of action He |
lived on milk and cheese. butter, Horace Tacitus |
and water. His sanguinary theories were exac-
gerated and over-rated; and yet he Joined no ism,
was attached to no colerie professed no system
II was this trait in his character that made him be
viewed as revolutionary sphinx preparing ST.
lently to devour society.
AVENGED JUSTICE.
NJ. Greyy has worked off his arrears before set

men lying under the sentence of death-gasn1rd
