Pere Hyacinthe on Clericalism.

PARIS, Nov. 6.-Pere Hyacinthe
has commenced campaign against
elericalisra, in his own church, with
a vigorous address. He said that the
republic was firmly established, but
that after leaning toward atheism
there was now danger of its lapsing
into clericalisn. Pupils of the Je-
suits, he said, were beginning to
swarm in the military colleges, and
the republic threatened to become a
clerical government after the most
blgotted pattern of the South Amer
lean republics. He thought this was
due to the republicans shutting their
eyes to the power of religion in sccie-
ty, and he advocated the national
churches rejecting the authority of
the Pope, allowing priests to marry
and abolishing the confessional.
The fund for the monument in hon
or of Garibaldi is receiving many sub
scriptions in France, a fact that shows
that better feeling toward Italy ex-
lists among the French people.

Discipline on the White Squadron.
Scribner's Magazine.
Order and discipline there must be
under all circumstances army or
navy cannot exist without them-and
the government of q ship must be ad-
ministered with a strong hand: and
constant vigilance and firInness on
the part of the officers in their inter
course with their men, the exaction
of unquestioned obedience on their
part, are absolutely necessary for
the successful attainment of their
efficiency as q fighting force, for
the safety OF their ship, and for
the welfare and comfort of every man
of the crew, 1t has been my good for
tune to see much of the life Of the
military forces, both of foreign states
and of our own country, and, as far
as my experience goes, Il have nowhere
met with class OF men more con-
scientious in the discharge OF their
dates toward their subordinates,
more solicltous of their welfare, more
capable of the government of the men
under their command in wise and
considerable manner than American
OllOOI5y pOUb Vi OhO osL NY oho
Nowhere was this spirit more evil
dent than ON the squadron of evolu-
ton, Notwithstanding the reports Of
hardships endured by the men, and
of undue severity OF the discipline on
board the ships, SO industriously cir
culated for time in the newspapers.
To those cognizant of the true condi-
ton of affairs on the feet some of
these reports would be almost comi-
cal in their absurdity, were it not for
the false impression they are calcula-
ted to convey to the mind of
the public. For instance, one
account describes how the poor
sailors are shiveridg in "white
working Clothes" while the officers
are buttoned up to their ohins in their
listers. Now as matter of fact, the
white working clothes" are put on
over the usual clothing of the sailor
man, and the naval uniform regula-
tions specially direct that in cool
weather, whenever the working dress
is used-which habitually is at sea-
it "shall be worn over suit of blue"
thus affording an additional protec-
ton against the cold.

primitive shape required. Then
there are gouges in flint, scrapers,
cores and some of the remarkable
sacriflcial knives or lances in flint,
nearly foot in length, made out of
blocks of flint, fashioned, sharpened
dentele and serrated in such man
ner as to make one pause at such
workmanship and ask, "Can man in
his primitive state, with only another
stone, have made such marvellous
weaponsw But such is really
a fact-the art is entirely lost,
and in this the enlightened nine
teenth century, with every variety
of tool known, the nature of flint and
its fracture perfectly understood,
there does not exist being who
could make one of these sacrificial
flint knives with its parallel flakings
and serrated handles.
The collection contains also celts
in basalt from different parts of
Ireland, q large series of celts in their
original horn hats from the Swiss
lake dwellings, cets from France,
many from the collection of the late
French savant, the Marquis de
Vibraye; a series of Amer
lCdui WSuS6s, sOuuo SICoNouy
as well as very fine lot of flint arrow
heads from nearly every part of the
world. Savage life of more modern
date Is not omitted in the shape of
the meri.meris from Now Iceland, as
well as axes In quartz from the newly
explored regions of Papua land. The
Bronze epoch is also represented by
swords, palstaves, knives and g
large series of pins and other objects
of personal adornment fromthe lakes
of Neuchatel, Norigen, etc.
A few casts are added of the extra
ordinary flint weapons in the collec-
ton of Lord Northesk, one being the
figure of man in flint about l foot
long, the only known instance OF
man having been initiated in flint
in prehistoric times. The collection,
il will be seen, is really representa-
tive, and one from which any student
can study the ever-growing popular
subject of mans antiquity. 1t has
arrived safely at LIVERPOOL, and is
now being prepared for exhibition by
Mr.. Il. J. Moore, the Curator of the
Free Museum. The Rev. III. III. Hig-
gins, so we'll known in the concholog-
zeal world, lectured upon it at the
Philosophical Institute of Liverpool
on the Goth ult., taking "the broad
question of the value of such remains,

man racen for his subject.

THE INDEPENDENT VOTER.

There is disposition on the part OF
some Of our Democratic contemporaries
who are highly elated over the recent
magnificent Democratic majority, to
favor a Democratic campaign in 1892 on
q platform, To use softened Parnellism
TO sheOl with the Mugwumps.
This would be- a sadly mistaken and
nn-Democratic policy to pursue. Mug
wump~ is an alias OF the Independent
Voter. and il is he who besides political
questions. This is very clearly out
lined by senator CARLISLE in his article
I'm the current number OF the North
tmerieua Rericlr. which was recently
synopsisized in these columns. There
is no stauucher Democrat on the face OF
the earth than john G.. CARLISLE, and
he says:
.There is a great body Of conservative
voters in this country about equally dlvioeu
between the two political parties, out not

Let the Democratic party pursue the
Democratic policy Of lcgiSlating in the
interest Of the people, taking no ac-
eount Of anything else, and continued
Democratic victory is assured. The In

their victory az the last election.
