exceptional recuperative power in the

there is reason to think, never greater

almost convulsive. But In spite OF
strikes food riots and famine prices
brought about by the whip-hand over
commerce and agriculture given to the
landlords of the Cercle des Pommes de
Terre and victualing trustees, France
has been steadily evolving and growing
in power.
Need l speak of her monetary strength,
almost entirely due to the activity, ad-
dress and resource Of her common peo-
pie? It has for its correlative the in
trepidity of her sons. their readiness to
