The French Middle Glass.

The particular spirit of the middle class
became the general spirit Of the govern
ment. 1t ruled the latter's foreign policy
as well as affairs at home; an active, in-
dustrious spirit, often dishonorable, gen.
orally sober, occasionally reckless through
vanity or egoism. but timid by teinpera-
ment, moderate in all things, except in its
love OF ease and comfort, and wholly un-
distinguished. 1t was spirit which, min
gled with that of tho people or of the aris-
tocracy, can do wonders, but which by it
self will never produce more than "a gov
ernment sborn of both virtue and great
ness. Master Of everything in a manner
that no aristocracy had ever been or may
ever hope to be, the middle class, when
called upon to assume the government,
took 1t up as trade. 1t enriched itself be-
hind it's power, and before long In their
egoism each of its members thought
much moro Of his private business than Of
public affairs and of his professional en-
joyment than of the greatness of the na-
tion. -" RecollectioDs" of Dc Tocqueville.

A. Mine Full of Poppies.

The extraordinary resuscitating power
Of light received a curious illustration a
few years since In the silver mines Of Lau-

were filed for tho most part with the
"slag' from the workings Of the miners.
1t was discovered that this Stag contained
plenty of silver, which could be easily rem
dered available by modern appliances. Ac-
oordingly 1t was removed to the furnace,
and when next the miDe was visited u
wonderful transformation was found to
have taken place.
Instead of heap of rubbish the mine
bad become a gorgeous flower garden.

longed to the same ago in which the mines
were worked. Twenty centuries old were
those poppy seeds, yet when the removal OF

through the efforts of the executive
committee, boiling cloth had been put
on the free list of the tariff bill, and it
was hoped to have restored the draw
back on burlaps. The chief work.
however, he said, was in the direction
of having the tariff measure give the
principle of reciprocity the recogni-
ton that it deserved. He said that
through reciprocity the United States
could advance it's trade with foreign
countries. and the Touring trade would
be greatly benefited.

sion, showed a very satisfactory state

the association had allied itself with

much in the direction of strengthen
