A There are Urea llh.Mrntlons In the O. tobcr
number of Lipfiotf, Magazine two by Eng.
ll.b artists, to Antnony Trollop s novel, The
Vicar o HullliBinpton," nnd one by Mr. h. 1$.
Benscll to tM story of "The Lonely Ones."
Of these Mr. Benacll's is decidedly the best.
The figures are full of character nnd cxprcsilon,
nd the drawing Is one of tho finest that Mr.
Uensell b. yet produced. The engraving has
fceen admirably done by Mr. Laudcrbach, and
the picture does great credit to the magazine.
We quote the following paper, by Karl Blind,
on "The Democratic Movement in France":
"Tlicro we have again the flcklo French that
volatile set!" many a steady-going man will
have exclnimcd with milled temper at tho lisuo
of the lute elections. .
When, In February, 1848. they founded a re
public In lees than three day, they were pro
nounced a race of foolhardy go-aheads. hen,
a few years later, they allowed themselves to bo
trampled down in that fatal December raid. It
was said they had got the govcrnmout which
they deserved. When they boro for years the
Osarian Incubus, people shrugged their shoul
ders ci n-.cmpUiously at such spiritless patience.
When a cry of insurrection no comes at latt
from all the great towns aye, from tho agricul
tural districts tliemselvcs-somo men feel vexed
anil Peevish at the sudden shock their favorite
notion have received; and they fall back upon i
the old stock-in-trade, siying:-' Why, you
ran never know what tltc trench will do next.
Let us, however, tko a glance at tho situation.
A variety o muses has contributed
to promote' the present democratic resur
rection. Within the hist ten years 1 ranee has
been surrounded with a circle of. fire. CtJutrary.
to Louis Napoleon's original pl.au, a united
Italy was formed by tho Uaribaldian Initiative.
The very failure f Italian democracy before
Kome rebounded upon the Imperial system; it
was too much for the Frencli people to be
thrice made ' the soldier of the Tope. On the
other side of the ocean the French ruler meant
to found a "Latin empire" and to aid in the
ruin of the Amjlo-Saxou republic of the North.
Instead of this he was iguominiously driven
out from Mexico, and this defeat, combined
with the triumph of tho United States, at once
lowered his military prestige uud gave an im
petus to tho ideas "which are embodied iu the
American Constitution.
Neither was that which happened in Germany
calculated to rende the position ot Louis Napo
leon more comfortable. The "Chauvinist" party
were oflendcd by the unexpected rearing up of
a rival military power, and by the iusuflieicacy,
as they considered it, of tho concession made
In the Luxembourg quarter. The Democrats
felt it as a sting that "liberty as In Austria"
aud in other South-German States should
have taken the start of the France of
lilM, 1HI30 and 1848. Meantime, Eng
land's popular forces were brought up in the
.Reform movement; the earnest determination
and the joyous tumult of those popular strivings
could not but awaken an echo in tho French
nation. Then Spain despised Spain suddenly
rose in revolution, driving out a dynasty with
as much ease as if a mere spider's web had had
to be brushed away.
South, north, east, west, on this and ou tho
other side of the ocean, France found herself
morally outflanked. It was more than could bo
brooked. The spell under which an awe-stricken
people had luin so long began to dissolve. .
A hall-hearted attempt at conciliation,
made by the decrees for the better treatment of
the public press and for tho restoration of some
thing like a right of meet'intr, turned out a blow
to the government cause Itself. It is a fact little
known that, before those decrees, there were but
two or three organs of the Democratic party in
all the French provinces ! whilst, since those de
crees, about one hundred and fifty have sprung
up, well uigh all more flery in their tone than
the l'arisiaii journals of tho Kcpublican party,
except the lteceil and the Bapprl, which repie
eent two sections of exiles. In this phenome
.nonthe real diiliculty of tho Napoleonic gov
ernment may be perceived.' It cauuot live any
longer exclusively on the December traditions,
and all concessions only undermine
its existence. As to the third
possible course a warlike diversion people in
the French capital say, '"On the day when that
. shall be attempted Paris will die."
I here come to the army, upon whoso attitude
bo much depends. It Is dilllcult to learn any
thing about the spirit which pervades it, for the
rule of passive obedience and silent execution is
enforced with tho utmost rigidity. Tho French
army is not like the Spanish, which has so fre
quently fought out the political strnggles of the
country. It is not like the English, whose
olllcers are bound up with society, aud whose
every member, down to tho privite, is respon
sible before the ordinary law. It is not even
like the Prussian army, with its civic landmehr
element, which sometimes shows strong political
IcaniDgs, as it did in lb HI, when it was unwill
ingly led against the Baden revolution, or in
l80b, when it had to bo driven to the t:wk set to
it by government. The French army is diff e
rently constructed. It generally moves like
clockwork. The man in power sees it in motion
at his will. Had the National Assembly assumed
the chief military command in 1851, as some of
its more fursecing members then proposed, it
would have been as easy to arrest the President
as it was afterwards easy for tho President to
arrest the leading members.
The intercourse between the private or non
commissioned ofUccrs aud the popular classes
the present Government has endeavored to stop
as much as possible The mass of oflicers, from
reasons well known in France, do uot see much
of society; they have therefore few opportuni
ties of forming their political views. It is diffe
rent with the more sedate oflicers who occupy
the rank of colonel. They frequent the 6ocietv
Of the higher middle class, and before then opi
nions aro freely given, as they are considered
bound not to divulge what they have heard. In
times of great crisis they thus learn much, and
discreetly wait to see how matters turn. Thus
. the colonel, together with the nou-commlssloued
oflicers, have the bulk of the army practi
cally in hand. The generals, who have little
. direct Intercourse with the mass of the subordi
nates, count not for so much whenever an
attempt In to be made to gain over the army to
" this or that side.
The non-commissioned oflicers stand nearest
." to the lower middle and working class, tho
colonels to the higher lourqroisie, Wheu the
latter observe that tho xery'tiouryeoisie gener
ally so timorous and anxious before all lor the
preservation of order has made up its mind to
K0 against tho government, there is a great
chance of defection in the military ranks in
favor of the popular cause.
But it is only on tho day of real action that
the results of this silent, occult conversion are
Been. At present we have scarcely any guiding
facts to go by, except that towards the end of
the Mexican war there was a mutiny In several
crack regiments that were to be sent across tho
ocean: and that quite recently Marshal Niel
issued an order converting Sunday into a day of
soldierly practice: lu other words, keeping tho
Jirivatcs and non-commissioned' oflicers away
rom contact with the people on the day wheu
tho latter have their utiug.
But how will it be possible to prevent such
communication for nuy length of time, when
the. rery reorganization ot the army, as lately
decreed, tends to turn every citizen into a
trooper?
The military establishment of France now
consists of nearly oue million four huudred
thousand men. Ibis, too, is one of the griev
ances of the people which may have found its
vent in the recent votes. France Is being
eoldlered out of the vory marrow of its life, and
It does not relish it. Tho average size of its men
lias constantly diminished within the last eighty
years. The effects of the great Napoleonic wars
are visible even now lu the slow progress of the
population.
There are other causes, difllcult to treat upon,
Wblcb operato against an increase. England
r,Pf iM nearly doubled Its population
within the last flftv years In si.iUi of a
considerable emigrate. yftScJVft emf-
grntlon worth speaking of. has In the same
period not increased oiio-tlnrd. The number of
births has, moreover, diminished to such an ex
tent that a French statistician of note declared
the time jiot to be distant when, If things did
not alter in this respect, tho births would no
longer sufllce to cover the losses by death ! And
under such circumstances a reorganization of
the ormy has been devised which takes away all
the able-bodied men, without exception, lu the
very prime of llfo, compelling them for years to
celibacy ! Must not the youth of France, men
and women, rebel against such a system ?
It would lead too far to enter deeply
into tho causes ef dissatisfaction con
nected with the financial affairs of tho
country. Tho new system of loans In
troduced under Louis Napoleon has, it
is true, enabled large masses of the people to
make email investments: nnd this has frequently
been considered a guarantco of continued gov
ernment influence. But the very circumstance
of tho vast distribution of those investments is,
on the other hand, a guarantee to tho holders
for repayment under any government. As to
tiA finnm lnl administration of the present
regime, which has been hitherto practically Irre
sponsible, the ligurcs are simpiy appauing.
Already in 1855. Baron Kichemont, who re
ported In the name of the Committee on tho
Budget, complained of the State expenses being
double that which tncy nact ocen umicr mo
First Empire!" Tho active State property
had vastly decreased under Napoleon III,
through the sale of railways, of State domains,
and of possessions formerly held by the Orleans
family, as well as by extraordinary clearings of
wood in the State forests. Nevertheless, the
extensive budgets annually fixed were year by
year found to have bi en enormously exceeded.
The surplus of receipts, shown by" ministerial
legerdemain, like a mirage not only vanished
regularly into thin air, but one day tho head of
the State hail actually lo s;i aown anu 10 inane
a letter to the public, in which a deficit of ten
hundred millions of francs was acknowledged,
which nobody knew how to account for. It was
a strange pecuniary sickness that had suddenly
broken out in the State body. M. Fould was
called in as n doctor, and temporary relief
seemed to be afforded. At least, that was what
the friends of Government asserted.
The revelations concerning tho financial ad
ministration of the "Imperial Commission,"
w hich acts ns an Irresponsible communal council
for Paris, arc probably fresh in the memory of
some readers. They came out In the Corps Legls
latif. M. Haussmann himself, the great reeon
structor of the capit al, had to make his eon fession.
It was such a scandal that persons who might
have been expected- to hold together like
burrs, began to indulge in mutual recrimina
tions. The affair was smothered with diiliculty.
Since then the republican press has agitated
mother financial point. Invidious comparisons
were drawn between the salary of American
Presidents and the civil list which Louis Napo
leon had decreed to himself after ho had con
verted h's Presidentship into an imperial tenure
of power. The French civil list is at present
the highest ia the world. Under Louis Phi
lippe it was twelve millions of francs. Under
Louis Napoleon It is nominally twenty-five
millions, not counting the dotations of the
imperial princes and princesses. Iu reality,
the civil list of tho Emperor's own person
is reckoned to amount to some forty or
fovty-two millions of fruues through the
receipts from various domains attached to the
Crown. Yet n few years ago the civil list was
supposed to be charged with a, debt of eighty
millions of francs!
Now, in juxtaposition to the twenty-five- or
rather forty-two millions of francs which tho
Emperor receives annually, the democratic
critics placed the "ridiculously small sum" of
ninety-two thousand five huudred francs which
are an American President's yearly salary. And
it was paid that France must certainly be able to
"pay for her glory," seeing that in eighteen
years she had contrived to pay to Louis Napo
leon four hundred and fifty millions, or, more
correctly speaking, sevcu hundred and fifty-six
millions of francs.
Forthesakcof even greater impression, tho
calculation above alluded to has been so worked
out as to show the receipts of the Emperor by
dav. hour, and even minute. The effect on a
people who had been told by the present ruler
himself tbat he was "a parvenu," and to whom
he was often described by his agents as "the
Peasant's Emperor" or "tho Workingman's
Friend." may be easily imagined.
If France had a regular system of popular
education, the result of the recent elections
would no doubt have been an overwhelming
defeat of Government. It Is a telling fact that
the "Map of the State of Public Instruction,"
which was drawn up a few years ago, and which
indicates, by shades more or less dark, the intel
lectual condition of the different departments,
should actually be a reliable guide for estima
ting the political forces of the Empire and those
of the Opposition. Where education stands
lowest, there the ruling power marshals most
adherents. Where education stauds highest,
the adherents of Government 'are few and far
between.
The departments in which the people are most
instructed are those sitnuted towards the Ger
man, Belgian, and Swiss frontiers, as well as the
Department of the Seine, whore the capital exer
cises its influence. In Alsace and Lorraine the
state of nubile instruction is most satisfactory.
It is worst in the ancient Bretague. In the de-
pM tments situated towards Germany, Belgium,
and Switzerland only from two to uiue per cent,
of the married people were unable to sign their
names. In other parts of France, from sixty
to seventy-five per cent, were unable to accom
plish that pimple feat. It is, however, not dilli
cult to understand that a great mass of people
should be thus crippled iu education. The ag
gregate sum spent on public Instruction does
not reach the expenses for the Court. Some
years niro there were murked In the State
budget six millions of francs for public instruc
tion; five millions of francs more were added
by the departments ; eleven millions five
hundred thousand by the communes; the school
fees brought iu nine millions more. Total,
thirty-one millions live hundred thousand francs,
against about forty-two millions 6peut for tho
Court. "
The six millions contributed by the State for
public instruction stood out in stranire relief
agalustthe four huudred and sixty-three millions
spent for the war-forces on sea aud land. Hence
a Liberal paper, parosyiuga Napoleonic phrase,
could utter, with regard to the coincidence be
tween tho strength of the opposition and tho
state of education in the various departments,
the bitter but perfectly true taunt IS Empire
c'enl I' Ignorance !
For ihe upshot some incurable pessimists
may perhapB Kay the "downshot" of this new
French movement we will probably not have to
wait long. A mighty change is hovering iu the
air. There may be short aud sharp shocks aud
counter-shocks for a little while, but the great
issue cannot bo long delayed. That which oc
curred a few months ago at Paris, at Bordeaux,
at Nantes, at Marseilles was a mere prelude of
little importance In itself, yet a sign and symp
tom. Great catastrophes are often preceded by
vague tumults.
I believe It will be well for those who
take an Interest in vast European pro
blems of statesmanship to study closely
the condition of affairs which has grown
up of late in France under the lioua
paigeau State edifice, and the upheaving forces
of which are already visible from Intermittent
exertions. The electrical flashes which shot
across the atmosphere of Spain in the summer
of 1808 were scarcely understood abroad. Yet
they meant the subsequent great event of Sep
tember. The sheet of fire which now breaks oc
casionally through the dark political sky In
France is clearly a harbinger of coming storms.
The "France of the future" traces already words
cf doom in lurid streaks. Friend and too may
ttraln their eyes to read the coming seuteucc.
From T. C. Do Leon's artlclo entitled "The
French Fever," we take the following on the
comparative traits of American and foreign
women:
American woman ore confessedly as pretty, as
bright, and as pure as any the, societies of the
world know. When foreigners meet good speci
mens, abroad they invariably awara thoiu the
palm; seen nt home, they combine tho aplomb
of the Ennllsh woman with the imiuolos grace
and vivacity of the French. As a rule, they err
neither on tho side of the tine frippery of tho
continental, nor of the overstarched propriety
of a certain class of British female. And the
reason is Blmplo enough. Their minds, their
character nnd very often their manners even
are natural. Their development is the result of
natural rauscs with few unwholesome restric
tions. Why, then, whenhey go abroad why,
in tho name of all tho gods! 'do they become
such servile imitators of what is so far beneath
them ?
Perhaps when they travel and of late it has
become as necessary to tho American as to tho
Bedouin to fold his tent they must imitate.
But then why they do not choose tho purer mo
dels ot a not too pure society that they only see
from the outside, must puzzle one who thinks a
moment on the subject.
The whale aim and struggle of the French
woman's life is good taste. She is rarely a
prude, seldom a bet esprit; she maybe neither
over-brilliant nor too straight-laced; but she Is
at equal pains to hide her moral as her mental
deficiencies, and she makes war to the knife on
tho demi-monde I In dress, in carriage, in style
she strives to bo its very antipodes. Why is it.
then, that the proper American woman will
transfer into her circle those very ebjeetlouable
features that even the lax French woman would
unhesitatingly reject ? that, whilo tho latter
walks demurely through the streets of Paris in
tho gravest of dresses and drives in tho plainest
of wrsppirfts, the former shows on tho Avenue
and In the Park in a costume that would Inevita
bly excito comment, if not insult, in the best
governed city of Europe ?

I'ri in the Fredericksburg lUrald, ticpt. 13.
"Arklnilale," one of the finest estates In Virginia,
lying along the Potomac river, In Stairord county,
and containing 83fW acres, was sold, by Messrs.
Taylor, Suttie A Conway, at public Ruction, In Alex

A Curlonn Hunk Lode.
Frmn the Mattehester (A'. II.) Mirror, Sept. 6.
one door of the vault of the Rochester Bank,
which burglars unsuccessfully attempted to rob on
the night of the 1st, has a very curious lock. It was
invented and made thhty-live years ago by Charles
Dennett, one of the first directors of the Rochester
Bank, who was a very Ingenious mechanic. Jt is said
there Is not another lock in the world like It. When
an attempt whs made to rob the bank in 1S43, this
lock was twice charged with powder and exploded,
jet it did not give way, and it is in as good condition
now as when made. A correspondent says:
"Many years since a locVsniith caine from New
York to this place, to sell. If possible, a bant lock,
and he laughed at this specimen of a countryman's
skill, which he assured the cashier he could pick In
lilt I f an hour. He was piomiscd that the lunik would
buy one or his locks If liu could do so. The lxlt was
thrown out with the door open, to give him every
fut ility, and the key placed in his hand. He took his
own time, and ot ter several hours' hard work, with
out any progress, he concluded to go home, taking
his ow n luck with him.-'
The Alhskn. Property Holders.
From the A Iwka Timix, July SO.
Much excitement and uneasiness have, existed
among our citizens for some time, owing to the fact
Demg Known tnat tne general commanding the De
partment had racetved orders to take possession of,
and hold, for the use of tho United States, all pro
perty within this Territory not private Individual
property at or before the time of the cession of this
Territory to the United States by Kussla. With
the exception of some seventeen buildings, the title
to all thq real property of citizens In the entire Ter
ritory is derived from the administrators of the Rus
sian Amercan Company. It is further rumored that
(iitlclals high in position at Washington have de
clared that the Russlun-Amcrican Company "were
not private individuals" within the terms of tUe
treaty, and tunc it suouiu tnereiore nave oeeu turned
over to the United States; but as it was not, it
should now be taken on behalf of the United States.
The Virginia Drouth.
The oldest Inhabitant has scarcely a recollection of
nuy period when the drouth was so great or pro
longed. The summer has passed, ami one month of
autumn nearly has followed, and a section of coun
try hundreds of miles in extent has been visited by
few refreshing showers. Vegetation, usually so luxu
riant, has withered and died, the parched earth hus
refused to yield grain for man or grass for beasts
springs have dried up, river bottoms are empty, and
everywhere a cry goes up for water. Cities never
before without an abundant supply of the priceless
fluid have been put on short rations. The arid sands
of Africa can be but little more parched than have
been some sections of Virginia and North Carolina.
In those sections most severely visited much mitrer
ing must prevail or he alleviated by kindness. While
we write lowering clouds poctend rain, and we may
confidently anticipate copious showers. Denied
abundant rains and a very luxuriant vegetattlon,
the entire South has been blessed with health un
paralleled. The law of compensation is here seen In
force aud beauty. Sorfolk Herald, Kept. 15.
The reat Nunsox Fire,
We published a week ago an account of a terrible
tire raging in the pine forests and swamps of Wor
cester county, Md., and Sussex county, in this State.
The Sussex Jovrmd, of the 11th inat., has the follow
ing additional particulars :
"Some weeks ago o fire broke out in the Cypress
swamps lying in the centre of the lower part of this
county and Worcester county, Md. The surface of
this swamp is composed of a light illuvtal soil of
fungus growth which wheu dry is highly combusti
ble, and is from one to four feet deep. This
chatty surface has been burning about three
weeks, extending about six miles in width.
The progress of the lire is not rapid, but as the sur
face of the ground Is burning, of course forests
and fences, houses, and barns, corn fields and pas
ture aieet the same late when they stand In the
way. It Is impossible to tell how great the loss Is of
life'and property lit this writing, or to form any cal
culation us to the final result: nothing hut a flood of
rain can stay its progress. Several families who
lived ou the edges and high portions of the swamps
have not been heard from. Mr. W. J. Caisey, Curtis
Jacobs, Mrs. 1 learn, and many others have been
seriously damaged. It was estimated that one mil
lion bushels of hucklebenles grew In the swamp last
year. We can say to the lovers of this fruit, next
year the crop will be far short of one hundred
bushels. The fire is raging from thePocomoke, near
Show Hill, to DagslKirough, in this county. Ditch
ing lias been resorted td iu some places fur the pur
pose of saving houses and barns, but such a body of
lire at a time when the earth is parched and dry is
rcully terrible."
Cost of ViclunllliiK a Club.
The rail Mall ;a:ette says:
"A correspondent sends us some particulars in
support of the view that the cost of victualling the
whole or a club, including, perhaps, seventy ser
vants, falls on the members w ho use the clul for
refreshment. '1 do not happen,' he says, 'to havo a
club account beside me which Is of later date than
iMiS; but this makes no dhfereiiee. Ju any club
balance-sheet, set forth as It should be, oue can see
the facts. Here is the balance-sheet of the Reform
Club, prepared iu lKilft for the preceding year. Tho
refreshments consumed In the club cost as
follows: Provisions, a-9112; wine, beer, spirits,
and soda water, a'440; total, A'U.o&d.
The food aud the drink consumed
by the seventy servants of the club are comprised In
these Bums, which are met as follows by moneys re
ceived from members of the club for refrcshmeuu,
namely : For provisions, X77H4; for wine, beer,,
spirits, soda water, x'.'."99; total, i:i:i,as3; ndileo
leaves a deilclenuy of XOTTI on the whole account, or
about ft per cent. It Is rarely that a club cau get
over tl at 6 per cent. Soiiietluif s, even, It is more
than ft per cent. There .Is an Incessant waste iu
clubs, which is utterly beyond control, and the prices
of provisions are Increased by percentages which it
Is vain to Investigate, if these two sources of loss
could be got rid of, as they are iu a hotel, iu a re.
staurant, or in a club where the mauager Is also pro
prietor, then the two ends wotild meet. As It Is, the
theory of all clubs is that they should meet, aud us a
matter of fact they very nearly do so.' '
Tbe Itontoii Coliseum.
This Immense structure, minus a largo part of
Its roof and a portion of its ends, presents a sad ap
pearance still, the workmen engaged iu repairing
the damages, with a view to rendering the building
complete again, making slow progress. The ruins
occasioned by the late gule are pi.ed up by the cordr
but the work of repair has commenced. Probably
three weeks will elapse before the Coliseum will be
restored to its original shape. The amount of labor
to be performed is large, and necessarily slow under
ordinary circumstances. The appearance of the
building i decidedly a gloomy one, and is in strange
contrast with the days wheu Its great interior was
filled with lntmlrlnir sonir: and even the surround
ings partake of the sume general air of desolation.
