TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1S79. At the Pentre petty-sessions, yesterday, ¡ the stipendiary decided iu favour of a man named Lewis, who summoned the Glamorgan Steam Coal Company for a month's salary in lieu of notice, he having been suddenly offered work, which he refused, in a capacity other than that in which he was at first en- gaged. At the Pentre sessions, yesterday, a woman named Hughes was ordered to pay* three fines for assaults upon different persons, the circumstances of which revealed behaviour of a peculiarly violent character. The Abercavne inquest was resumed on Monday, before Mr Coroner Brewer, when some fresh evidence was taken as to the working of the pit. The inquest was ad- journed until to-day. It having been rumoured that the Ebbw Vale Company in- tend to abandon the work of recovering the dead bodies in district No. 21, a communica- tion has been sent to the Home Office on the subject. A lad, named David Jones, was drowned at Brynmawr on Sunday, he having ventured on the ice, which was not strong enough to support him. The water was very deep. The Llandaff magistrates, on Monday, in- flicted a sentence of one month's imprison- ment upon two youths for having broken into the Maltsters' Arms. The prisoners had done little except eat some bread and cheese. It was deposed that the malthouse of the prosecutor was frequently entered at night, and considerable damage done. A man named David Jones, who has been missing since Christmas Day, when lie went from Fernhill to Rhigos, has been found dead on the mountain, sitting between two stones. It being suggested at a meeting of the Crickhovvell Board of Guardians, yesterday, than an arrangement should be made with the Gloucester Bank, with the view of pro- viding for a call, towards which JE170 was locked tp in the West of England Bank, the Clerk replied that the question was one for the overseers themselves, and the Local Government Board Inspector, who was pre- sent, remarked that the guardians could not do anything in the matter. Two immoral women have been committed for trial by the Brecon magistrates for having violently assaulted William Edwards, farmer, of Cwmdu, and robbed him of £39. Judge Falconer, while presiding in the Swansea county-court, yesterday, referred to the drinking habits of the people, but stated that these habits were not confined to the working classes. In proof ofthis he men- tioned the of two young gentlemen of suuerior education, who had everything that they could wish for, and yet drank to excess and died early.

The greatest excitement still prevails in Cornwall anent the most recent bank failure. Although the liabilities are estimated at over one million, it is said that the assets will turn out very well if the estate be not rea- lised too hurriedly. The charge against Captain Robert Elis, of Ipswich, of stealing five thousand sover- eigns from the strong room of the steam- ship Avoca, has been dismissed by the magistrates sitting at Bow-street.

An inquest has been opened. The Right Hon. W. E. Forster, in ad- dressing his constituents last night, severely attacked the Government for their Extern policy, which he said had not given satis- faction at home or abroad, and which might lead to a world-wide war.

Tho latest dispatches from the Viceroy of India state that one of the chiefs has refused to obey the call of Yakoob Khan to go to Cabul, and that some of the Ameer's body guard who accompanied him to Turkestan have deserted, and returned home. General R )berts finds the people in the Khost country quite friendly. The statement published in London to the effect that the Ameer of Afghanistan had sought the protection of Russia obtains no credence in well-informed quarters at St. Peteisburg, nor has any information, from which it might be inferred that Shere All WASued to make his way to Russian territory, been received.
THE REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH IN…
THE REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH IN FRANCE. SUNDAY'S voting for senatorial candidates in France has made the Republic definitive and certain. The Republican party have now not only a majority, but a most sub- stantial majority, in both Houses of the French Parliament. The natural result is, that Bonapartist, Bourbonist, and Or- leanist intrigues have become harmless, whilst the consolidation and permanence of the Republican form of government is absolutely assured in France. That is no ordinary triumph. It is, in the first place, the victory of constitutional govern- ment, for the French Republic of to-day is moulded, in its leading aspects, on the lines of the British Constitution. The Republican triumph has another side—that the masses of the French people desire liberty, peace, and order, not under any particular dynastic flag, but as the embodiment of the na- tional will, as expressed by Parliament. It used to be the boast of the defenders of the first French revolution, that France gave the world ideas which England was usually the first to adopt and put into practice but France alone was notably for three-quarters of a century unable to realise her own theory of a permanent republic, upheld by the free will of a free people, and grounded upon the rights and duties of citizenship. The vote of Sunday has changed all that, but what a struggle there has been to achieve so desirable a result It is not quite two years since France killed the Septennate, but it was only on Sunday that the funeral obsequies were car- ried out. Marshal MACMAHON, by, and through, the vote of Sunday, is no.; longer essential to the good, peaceful, and orderly government of France. No one in the ranks of the Republican majority cares whether he resigns or not, for the moment he does so the Republican party can carry the candi- date of their choice. The original under- standing, no doubt, was that the Septennate —or personal rule of Marshal MACMAHON should last until the 20th November, 1880. In his" presidential" message of February 5, 1875, the MARSHAL thus foreshadowed what must happen when his seven years had run out:—" Another point L more contro- verted, but which must not be less promptly settled, is that which relates to the trans- mission of power when I shall cease to exer- cise it. Here my intervention must be of a more reserved character, inasmuch as my personal responsibility can, in no case, be en- gaged at the expiration of the 20th of November, 1880. It ought to be regulated in such a manner as to leave to the Assem- blies of the future full and complete liberty to determine the form of government in France. It is upon this condition that from the present time until then the co-operation of all moderate parties may continue I secured for the work of national re- I covery which I am charged to pursue." France has, indeed, recovered from the prostration of the war with Germany, but little thanks to Marshal MACMAHON, or to "qçh issft M Jke Duke da BROGI.IK, wiio at-1 tempted to strangle liberty in the interest of the BOURBONS, and to prejudge the settle- ment of 1880, by gagging the choice of the French people. To fair political combat there can be no reasonable objection, but what would English newspaper readers think of language like the following, applied to the views of advanced Liberals under the gangway of the House of Commons 'GOD desires to see the principles and the em- blems of the Revolution destroyed; for France is always the eldest daughter of the Church, and the Church cannot perish; Therefore in what nation has the interven- tion of GOD been more frequent 1 Remem- ber TOLBIAC, CHARLEMAGNE, and JOAN of ARC Remember, also, the intervention of Saint ANNE, and of the protection of MARY say to yourselves that the Archangel MICHAEL is the protector of France." This language was uttered amid enthusiastic plaudits, a few months ago, in connection with the fete day of the Count de CHAMBORD. Can any moderate man wonder that the common-sense and intelligence of France rebel at such rubbish ? The rival dynastic parties in France live upon phrases phrases meant to mislead, and the greatness of Sunday's Republican victory centres in the fact that not one, but all the dynastic pur- poses have been frustrated. The Bonapartists have been especially hit—-a most depressing result from the thousand-and-one agencies set in motion during the last two or three years with the intention of paving the way for the advent of NAPOLEON IV. Nothing has done so much to open the eyes and dis- gust the really intelligent classes of France, as M. CASSAGNAC S attacks upon the Repub- lican leaders. Every assault has recoiled upon his own unfortunate head, bringing out with a dramatic force that could not have been anticipated, the weakness, the trickery, and incapacity of the Third NAPOLEON, as well as many who surrounded him. On the other hand, M. GAMBETTA, by his judicious action, has done more than any other man in France to inspire and guide the Republi- can sentiment. His speeches have been models of clearness of purpose as well as of expression. To the charge of personal am- bition, he replies that he seeks no distinction or reward. To the further charge, that he was a misleading political prophet, he told his auditory that his party would not be satisfied with even a majority of twenty-five votes in the Senate, and that there were more surprises in store for them. Sunday's voting has completely justified the ¡ mysterious allusion. The Republican majo- rity at the poll is double what M. GAMBETTA originally estimated it at. Exactly, then, as he had indicated, the new year witnesses the passing away from the scene, if not the parties, at least of the power, of the rivals of democracy and the Republic. France has refused to be bridled, under the strength of what GAMBETTA defines as true conservation —the conservation which consists in working for the public weal under the shield of the law, in acknowledging no superiority but that derived from virtue, talents, and services rendered—in not acknowledging any charges but those freely accepted by the representatives of the nation, in acknow- ledging no liberty but that which benefits all men alike, and in divesting legislation of illusions, dreams, and Utopias. The Repub- lic, as now constituted in France, is thus the legitimate successor of the philosophical dreams of the best men of the great Revolu- tion. It will be curious to note how far it will re-act on the socialistic aspirations of the Continent. The socialist spectre, as the dynastic Germans call it, originated in France. Our own Roform Bill of 1830 has been defined as the echo of the great French Revolution. Now that so many crowns in Europe sit unsteadily on certain crowned heads, a solid, liberty-loving Rcpublia_iu. France is likely to add. to the socialist con- fusion existing in Germany and elsewhere. As Frenchmen have to fight their own battles, we shall to a certainty hear no more of the fire-eating colonels" who wished to invade the shores of England, and whose idle talk led to the glory of the age-the Volun- teer movement of the United Kingdom.
-------------------THE FUTURE…
THE FUTURE oTcARDIFF. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. SIR,—I have read with very great interest your able series of articles, just completed, upon The progress and capacity of the port of Cardiff." That its foreign exports should have risen from 2,000 tons of both coal and iron in 1830 to nearly four million tons of coal alone in 1878, and its pop- ulation have increased, since 1801, from a little over 1,000 to nearly SO,000, is indeed remarkable. But would it not be well for Cardiffians to con- sider one little fact, which strides an outsider very forcibly, namely, that the prosperity of their port ha.s grown out of, and seems still to rest almost exclusively upon, one single article of commerce, very valuable, very plentiful, very profitable, no doubt, but not absolutely inexhaustible, nor con- fined solely to South Wales, and upon the virtual monopoly which Cardiff at present enjoys in the transport of that article, a monopoly which she may ere long find seriously encroached upou. It is a thankless task to be a prophet of ill nor would I attempt it were it not that I hope to have pleasanter things to predict ere I have fin- ished my soothsaying. I fear that there is too much reason for the lament, now often heard, that America is rapidly taking the place of Great Britain as the workshop of the world," and that the monopoly of the coal and iron trade, upon which the latter has grown rich, is at an end—a lament which is startlingly confirmed by the fact. that whereas the United States imported nearly 600,000 tons of iron and steel rails in 1872, five years later they were able to reduce the importation to a single order of 12 tons, havin" manufactured during that period over 4,000 000 tons within their own borders, and are now pre- pared to supply both ourselves a.nd our customers with the article. But whatever the boundless resources of America and her exhauatless native products of coal and iron, of wool and cotton, may enable her to achieve in manufacture?, I think we may feel satisfied that England must always, from her geographical position, her maritime pre-eminence, and her vast colonial possessions, remain "the emporium of the universe." Situate, as Venice was in the middle ages, midway between east and west of the known world, it must ever continue what Venice has long ceased to be, the central mart for the commerce of the globe, since there is no newer world further west, still undiscovered, to displace the present centre of the universe. And of such continuous traffic between east and west, Cardiff, from her present unequalled posi- tion, should obtain no small share, if prompt and vigorous measures be taken to secure it. I must not, however, trespass too much unon your limited space, and will reserve the rest of my communication for another occasion.—Yours kc-l S. STRINGER BATE. Newcastle-under-Lyme, 4th Jan., 1879.

MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY AT CARDIFF OLD CEMETERY. On Sunday, at the Old Cemetery, a box was discovered containing the body of an infant, supposed to have been illegally placed there. It was only partially covered over with earth. No certificate of death can be found, and the person in charge at the cemetery has no record of its burial. Altogether the case is one of grave sus- picion. An inquest was opened at the Roath police-station on Monday afternoon. Evidence as to tho discovery was taken, but as the police have not yet had time for the necessary inquiries, nothing further was elicited. Ultimately the inquiry was adjourned until Wednesday, a post- mortem, examination being of course ordered.
1IR FÛRSTER AT BRADFORD.
1IR FÛRSTER AT BRADFORD. Mr Forster addressed a meeting of his con- stituents in Bradford on Monday night. He ex- plained his reasons for declining to place his candi- dature for the representation of the borough at the disposal of a committee, and said he could never consent to be a mere delegate. Adverting to foreign affairs, he urged that the Government had deceived their own friends, had incurred the hatred of the UhrIstian1 races in Turkey, and had bolstered up the Turkish pashas without gaining their confidence The Turks felt that they had been misled, the Bulgarians that tney had been injured, and the Greeks that they had been deceived. In noint of fact the policy of the Government had been one of reckless defiance, alternating with humiliating concessions. It might lead to a world-wide war, and alchough he had no doubt that England would win in the end, the cost would be tremendous. While we were encouraging the selfish apathy of the rest of Europe, we were attempting the impos- sible task of upholding a corrupt, effete, and fall- ing despotism. In conclusion he deprecated a return to the policy of protection of home matters, under the 9
THE COAL PORTS OF THE BRISTOL…
THE COAL PORTS OF THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. ARTICLE VII. HISTORY AND PROGRESS OF THE PORT OF SWANSEA. Swansea. is emphatically a town with a history, and one, too, which abounds in incidents of in- terest not only to the antiquarian, but also to the general reader, being closely bound up with events of more than local iylportance; and it is no dis- paragement to those who have already directed their attention to it to say that what has been done by Mr L. W. Dillwyn, the father of the pre- sent member for the borough and more recently by Colonel Francis, in his Swansea Charters," and countless other contributions on the subject, has in each case been simply what, indeed, it purported to be, viz.: The collection of valuable materials towards a comprehensive history of Swansea and its neighbourhood. Such a task, however, is not within the scope of our present proposal, which is simply to select from the results of the labours of previous writers, and from original sources not hitherto available to the general public, such details as, from their bearing upon the commercial history of the place, are likely to prove both interesting and instructive to those whose prosperity is bound up with the welfare and progress of the town. In doing 10, we shall find how much is to be learned from the past, and shall perhaps be surprised to learn how many of the disputes, plans, and sug- gestions of the present day, instead of being origi- nal, are simply the revival of old ideas, which have been discussed, quarrelled over, and allowed to drop by bye-gone generations of merchants and burgesses of Swansea. To anyone who studies the situation of Old Swansea it will appear evident that it was chiefly chosen with an idea on the part of its first settlers to avail themselves of its natural advantages from a maritime point of view, and, accordingly, whatever importance we may attach to an old writer who derives its name from Sweyne, a Danish pirate who is supposed to have made it his head-quarters, we cannot avoid the reflection that while numerous authorities differ as to to the derivation and correct spelling of its name, nearly all are agreed that it is sug- gested by its situation, open to the sea, and its consequent adaptibility for purposes of shipping and convenience. From its very commencement, therefore, Swansea must have been in a. great degree dependent on its shipping first, probably, in a rude way as a fishing station, and afterwards gradually trading with the neighbouring ports on the oppo- site coast, and, from time to time, still further extending the limits of trade. The eleventh cen- tury saw the completion of the Norman conquest in the erection of Swansea Castle, and a century later the immigration of the Flemings began, many of whom settled in Gower, and, doubtless, contributed materially to increase the commercial enterprise of the district. In the reign of King John it had already attained to some importance, as is testified by the charter of that monarch granting immunity to the burgesses of Sweynelhe" from all sorts of duties and imposts. Other charters and grants of privileges bear like testimony to the progress of the town in these early days, and show also that the burgesses of the period were fully alive to the necessity of maintaining their rights. In 1305 we have a charter from William da Breos, at that time Lord of Gower, who addresses the burgesses of Swansea, and after assuring them of his feelings of peace and goodwill, and entire forgiveness of former disputes, proceeds to grant "reasonable estovers out of his woods and forests for thepur" pose of building and repairing ships and boats, and proceeds to declare that "they may make and have if they will, out of the woods aforesaid, four great ships, or less, at the same time, or in suc- cession, and that they may further make out of the said woods as many small vessels as they will, able to carry 20 hogsheads of wine, or less, pay- ing to us and our heirs for every vessel newly made 12 pence." This clearly proves that the art of ship-building was practised in the town, though we find by a subsequent clause in the same charter that it was forbidden to sell such vessels to strangers, except under special cir- cumstances. Pit coal, or Ballywasta, was also allowed to be dug within certain well-defined restrictions and limits, though this again might not be sold to a foreigner, little idea being apparently entertained of the time when it should constitute the chief item of export. an entry found in some State papers of the time of Henry VI.. it has been conjectured that one of the fiist collieries opened in the district was then being worked at Kilvey, and it would seem from other notices that there were collieries at an early ciauc vriomii 1:: ;D-rûwt--V1 VI. isnvcy ^wiiiuji inumcteci Llansamlet Lower) as in the survey of the Manor of Kilvey, made by order of Oliver Cromwell, it is presented that a tax of 4d per wey was paid to the lord of the manor on all coal exported over Swan- sea Bar from that lordship. Pa-sing on. we have recorded damage from saud drifts and from floods, so serious that the neighbouring towns were appealed to for assistance, together with such in- cidents as the enactment of a bye-law that "no strandge shyppe" shall be boarded without licence from the "portref;" the making, of all sorts of regulations.for the municipal government of the town and sanitary impiovemeut, some of which might with advantage be studied in the present day, while mingled with it all we come ever and anon upon such records as the following "John Mogford, for setting saile on the Sabbath- day out of the harbour, fined 5s.'1 A most important step in the progress of Swansea was the first establishment of the copper smelting works, a trade which rapidly increased until by far the greater part of the copper produced in Great Britain was smelted in Swansea, which town was then the greatest smelting town in the world. Some doubt would seem to exist as to the exact date, Mr Dillwyn giving it as circ. 1719, whilst another writer, to whose information we are much indebted, says the first works were opened in 1690, without, however, giving his authority. At all events the trade increased rapidly and served in every way to develops the resources of the place, which Cromwell, in his rather lengthy charter, describes as an "Auutient Porte Town and populous," "con- venient for shipping" and resisting forraigne invasions." Not only did the smelting trade greatly increase the number of shipping frequent- ing the port, through opening up that large import trade in ore?, which has ever been one of the characteristics of the port—but it also served to advance trade by the large quantities of coal re- quired for the purposes of the work, the whole of which was found in the neighbourhood, and the getting of which lin those days without railways or canals was no slight enterprise. In 1821, about a century after the establishment of the trade, 0,000 tons of copper were made at Swansea, 74,000 tons of ore, and about 135,000 tons of coal being consumed in the process, ill addition to which some 2,000 tons were made at Neath and other adjacent places. We come now to the period when the trade of the port began .altogether to outgrow its capacities, and when it became yearly more apparent that the natural advantages of the situation must be further supplemented by the appliances of art. The increase of trade brought an increase not only in the number but also in the size of vessels frequenting the port, and a consequent necessity for deeper water. Accordingly, steps were taken in 1771 towards the improvement of the harbour, but owincr to a variety of impediments, foremost amongst which was the great diversity of interests involved (always a hindrance to the course of improvement at Swansea), little was then done. The matter was, however, agitated from time to time, the necessity meanwhile becoming more and more pressing, -until in 1791 application was made to Parliament, and an Act passed calling into existence the Swansea Harbour Trus- tees, who have, since that date, been the conservators of the port and harbour, so that the subsequent history of the progress ol its trade is principally a record of the transac- tions of its trustees. The number of vessels enter- ing the port in 1790, the year before the forma- tion of the Trust, was 1,697, with a tonnage of 74,926 tons. Little or nothing had then been done for the general improvement of the harbour which was suffering much from the accumulation of silt, so that on neap tides there was seldom more than 10 feet of water into the harbour, and consequently frequent detention of vessels. JN ot- withstanding all these difficulties, there was considerable trade, and a general spirit of enterprise manifested, which, as will be seen, needed onlyj the formation of a governing body to direct it into the right methods for the improvement of tne port Ihe population, which in 1563 was estimated at 1,500, had increa- sed very largely, while as a proof of the maritime importance of the town we are told that during the French wars, which raged about this period, Swansea and neighbourhood supplied no fewer than 2,578 sailors to the Royal Navy, a circum- stance which not only speaks well for the loyalty of the town, but also serves to show how large a portion of its population were trained for the sea. The chief drawback to the trade was the difficulty of transport which prevented collieries at any dis- tance from the river from working to advantage, so that the price of coal was 163 per ton, while a few years later it had fallen to 10s 6d.

DEATH ON THE MOUNTAIN AT TKEHERBKKT. Considerable excitement was caused here on the day after Christmas, by the rumour that a man named David Jones (Dai Jenny), living at Fern-hill, was lost on the mountain. It appears that the man had been to Rhigos, to see his mother, on Christmas Day, and started to return home over the mountain at two o clock in the afternoon. However, as he did not reach home that night, his family became very uneasy, and sent to make enquiries about him on the next day. Finding that he had started home, searching par- ties scoured the mountain to look for him. On several days the men turned^out of the collieries, but with no result until Monday, when his body was found by a shepherd, not far from Blaencor- rwg Farm. He was found in a sitting posture, be- tween two stones. Had he gone a hundred yards further"he would have seen the lights of the Cwm- corr g houses. Ho leaves a wife and three ehil- I dren.

There is nothing at all certain as to t executive changes that must ensue after tbj triumph of the Republic at the Senatorial eleo. tions. Among the guesses at truth are the eleva. tion—if it be not a kick upstairs of M. DufaonL already head of the Cabinet, to be President of the Senate vice, its present political Jack-in-the*> Box occupant, Due Pasquier. Others try tf compel Gambetta to change his resolution, and ta accept the Premiership. He knows he can bettej serve the Republic, at its present stage, by rtf maining an independent member, and guides philosopher, and friend to his party. It is agreed on all hands that the Minister of War, a con- firmed reactionist, with a strong anti-Republican entourage, must go, and his department handea over to new brooms. It is also contemplated t4 abolishthe sixteen regimental commanders, and U allow all the generals to occupy that position, fot a fixed period, by rotation-a post of honour ÍJJp stead of emolument; this would at once get rid ol notorious Monarchists. < Some say the Tunis affair is a storm in a te.. cup others, that it may become serious.

Prince Bismack sustain! France. Timeo Danaos et dona fCTcntes, Some of the rising moralists object to the open giving its usual series of masked balls—at least in a building dedicated to French music," that is, to the works of the Italiai Rossini, and the German Meyerbeer. Thetf are authors, on the contrary, who, while objecting to Carpeaux's dancing nymphs in marble outside have no objection: to the can-can being executec inside the building. The can-can evidently forint part of the rights of man—and of woman; and the performers are paid for their devilish labours. These masked balls are not what they were when George the Third was King. High society doet not patronise them not a real duchess is to caught under a domino, and so make the for tuna of a penniless, good-looking fellow. These en- tertainments, like the attractions of the Mobille, are organised for the foreigner, whose purse supports them. It is also urged that there is no necessity now for masked balls to enable virtue to conduct an intrigue it does not pay the price of a ticket aud gloves to go on a voyage of discovery of a grande dame in rupture oi etiquette; modern society affords married ladies all the opportunities necessary to humour their caprices; business on one side, the club on the other, restores the wife her liberty by keeping the husband from home the shepherd absent* the key of the fold is easily found; then there are the health stations, and the fashionable sea-side resorts for frisky matrons, and a proverb says the occasion makes the thief. At the Paris masked balls of the present day, the visitor encounters ladies," whose stomachs are as little garnished as their shoulders. It was not thus in the time of Musard the Great, who in an excess of frenzy marked the time for his orchestra by breaking the big drum with a chair; but then, bathed as he was in perspiration, vyhat jury but would not accord him extenuating circumstances ? That was the time, too, when real grizciies put in an appear- ance, and who sang a song to keep their teeth from chattering, and, if hungry, invested in a pint of roasted chestnuts—the poor man's poele mobile The masked ball is only now the pafody of gaiety, where grimaces take the place of broad grins. In this age of wonderful automatons, of swimming and talking dolls, why not have the can-can doll ? It is amusing to read t113 exchange of pot and kettle compliments between the United Conser- vatives," as the coalesced Monarchists delight to dub themselves, after nearly driving the nation into civil war when their leader, the Due de 33rogli?r, "WR3 lii pcr voi^ -TLc ^»n^{Mrti3ts main* tain that the wile of Comte de Chambord, is not fit to hold a footstool for the Empress Eugenie tLe Legitimists retort that the partner of Henry V. would even perform au excess of honour, by throwing the stool at the head of the Spaniard." A sturdy Bonapartist decline. as an honest sup- porter of universal suffrage, to inarch to the poll- to Coventry, with the Legitimists, to vote against a Republican who boldly upholds manhood [suffrage and an old Royalist, rich as a Nabob, will not give a centime, when his friends are solicited to work iu common with such "rogues as the Bonapartists." One eccen- trie accuses the Republic of having affected the weather it is the cause of the incessant rain, of the vine bug, of the introduction of American provisions. Matters it appears were not thus "foi France in the time of Joshua," that mighty man of Israel could command the sun to stand still but M. Rochemiehe nevertheless complains that France has become the abomination of desolation since a leading Jew has been heard by a Par- liamentary Commission to advocate free trade. Free trade appears to be somewhat under a cloud at present, but the battle between it and protection must be at least commouced th!s year. France has really no fixed views on the issue, be- sides getting as much as she can from theforeignei and giving as little she can in exchange. People are anxious to know how Gambetta's opr?ortunism will deal with the thorny subject, for some of the most influential of his followers are as ardent advocates of high customs tariff as Dismarck himself. A remunerative business in the black mail line is said to consist in tracking a discontented wife, who occasionally takss a lover home like Mis John- son, to the theatre, and when the couple are ia the private box, a note is handed to the paramour, in esse or in posse, that if he does not remit the bearer fr,5CK),the husband will be at once informed of his relations with foreign powers. There ia quite an epidemic at present in Paris of ladies of position sacrificing their honour with coachmen and butlers.

The Chinese have been accused of burning down a house to loast a pig, but Stint Brice, a man has been sentenced to transportation for life, for burning a village in order that the fire might reach an employer's wood stock and premises. A me- chanic named Victor, residing in the Faubourg St. Autoine, constructed a. self-guillotining machine his head was caught between the badly descended knife and the block, dreadfully cut, but not mortally a bit of wood slipped fr a a position, and so disturbed the setting of rop. Paris has had a rare suicide this week, rarer than that of a child or an old person—an attorney threw himself into the Seine, but was rescued in time, In this festive season the rag-pickers of capital have held their annual dinner, where 1,200 members of both sexes marched in procession. with the father of the Ulld- patriarchal gentle- man in a respectable biack suit—leading the way to the selected inns. \v hat was most remarkable was the personal cleanliness and Sunday look about the pickers up of unconsidered trifles, The members of the craft have to be re<'istered-l.*hAjra is the only institution that escaped being taxed after the war. Some are very honest, and rarely is any article a silver fork or snoon, that may have found its way into the daily dust-bin de- tamed. I notice that the Republic allows more free days to the beggars than did the Second Empire- the streets are at present haunted, not with th; vagrants of the loathsome typo, monsters in point of disease, but those of a. positively respectable class, that solicit iila charite, mon bene monsicurs, with a side-long look, or adopt tht refuge of a doorway to hide their looks. There is a favorite drawing-room'game in fashion, and which is verv amusiug The name of some prominent individual is chosen, and the company is invited to write what would be the most suit, able gift of the season to present to the celebrity. Many of the replies are very witty—the political ones especially—and one leading Republican ladj is printing her "collection," to form an album foi distribution among her friends. I feel bound te state that the heir of the Napoleon dynasty comei in for most of the successful quips and cranks. The cartoons never represent hiai without ears aa long as those attributed to Midas, so that hi. infirmity is as proverbial among the peopI. as the wen of nouis XIV., and that a bag wig was prescribed to conceal. The Comta de Falloux, in his published reminiscences got Napoleon III., does not convey the idea of tha ruler's intelligence being of a high order he misfr quoted as liberally as Mrs Malaprop, and eves when convinced against his will, remained of hit own opinion still. At Vrizy a man has been interred civilly, de& pite his belief in the Church the clergyman, it appears, was not willing to celebrate the ceremonj unless assured in advance of being paid a certain fee; the sum offered was too small; the family then resolved by a vote that the difference in dis- pute could not affect; the defunct's chances in the next world, and ordered a civil burial. Now Year's Day, the greatest of French holidays, because exclusively devoted to family a.id friendly visiting, was a cruel_dissapointment. The rain came down suddenly in the afternoon, when all Paris was out, with au intensity suggestive of all the windows of heaven being open. Boats, not omnibusses and cabs, were on the point of plying along the Boulevards, anc1 visitors excused in many cases their inability tc visit from their not knowing how to swim." It was peculiarly sad for the children, who, in theu toilettes, to procure which was perhaps a. twel veo months' struggle, were squeezed under a parasol, or carried in the arms of parents unable ta shelter them. The hardships were furthar increased in the case of thousands whs ha I to make pilgrimages to the suburbs, and rice versa; the cemetene:, too, had to 1xt done, if a citizcn desired to boast he had not lost a day. The French do not forget their dead, though they very oiten do their livin
