An indication of the trend of publ

An indication of the trend of public
opinion in France may be seen in the
movement which is now on foot in
that country to abolish all titles of no
bilty in the republic. The opponents
of titles of the nobility i'll France
point to the fact that France is re
public and argue that a nobility is as
much out of place there as it is in the
United States After the general cleo
ton a bill will be introduced in the
French Parliament, declaring all titles
illegal: and II strong effort will be
made to pass the measure. 1t is esti-
mated that about half a million
Frencmen prefix the title of Count
to their names; and it is certain that
a large proportion of these titles are
assumed. and have no significance in
the blood or traditions of their bear
ers. The attempt will be made to ap.
ply the French national motto in Il
new direction by doing away with the
| nobility.

The Medical Record contends that
it is impossible to lay down any hard

for body of people. The personal
factor must be in every case taken in

person may be harmful TO another,
and if the individual be possessed of
ordinary common sense, he will not be
long before he finds out what food or

Gen. J. B. Gordon.

The lecture Of Gen. j. B. Gordon at
the Opera House, Tuesday evening,
was very fine. There WAS q splendid
audience, and the General seemed TO
catch inspiration from IL, and his bear
ing, voice and vigor, were those Of q
young man. The lecture was upon the
events of the closing half of the war,
and was historic, reminiscent, descrip-
tive, and eloquent. Incidents Of q
most touching. marvellous and humor-
GUS nature, revealed the kaleidoscope
characer of soldier life, and in the
finest descriptive language he por-
trayed some Of the most vivid scenes
Of the war. His eloquenee was en-
HANGED by his fiae bearing, and his wit
was chastened and refreshing. His
skill In paying tribute to the heroes on
both sides, and coming up TO the dan
ger line without crossing 1t, showed
great cleverness. Through 1t all, as its
warp and woof, was lesson OF the tru-
est patriotism, and Q splendid tribute TO
the American character, and our undi-
vided, unassailable, unapproschable
nation. The audience was delighted.
The lecture was given under the su-
spices Of the Teachers Institute Asso-
citation, and the committee deserve the
thanks of the public for securing us
such q treat.
