THE DA1LF EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1870. THE WEAKNESS OF ENGLAND. ii r.ronrebT Kr.nde Prrxmrlww. Owariltloa f Afluir.-l'rlvlleae v.. Right. An earnest and searching review of the Cannes of the decay of England has appeared in late numbers of Frascr'a Mtiizine. It ia from the pen of Mr. James Anthony Froude, the historian, who is now the editor of Prater's, and whose powers of research have been exerted to very useful purpose in the task he has undertaken, lie aims to show why England is decrepit; through what causes she has lost much of the moral and physical force which once made her formidable; whom ehe has to thank for her present condition; and what is likely to be the final result. Mr. Froude handles his subject with a vigorous pen, and reveals some facts which are of pe culiar interest at ft moment when the scale is equally balanced between peaae and war. The concluding part of this able paper ap peared in the September number of the magazine, and was written while England re mained safely outside the lines of conflict on the continent before the Ilnssian cloud had become vipible. JJut the temporary escape of England from entanglement in the quarrel between France and UruRBia did not convince Mr. Froude that the English nation would re main secure in its insular solitude. Ho therefore gave expression to a solemn warn ing, which, in view of subsequent events, bas a striking significance. "At this mo ment," he says, "if we were taken by surprise as Prussia has been, and a hostile power could by any means obtain twenty-fours' command of the Channel, London would inevitably be taken.'" In other words, the British army is inetlloien'; while the suggested possibility of a hostile naval force obtaining possession of the Chan nel is virtually an admission that the British navy is not so well handled as it should be. These conclusions coincide with actual reve lations of a damaging character which have recently come to light through the London press such as the weakening of the re sources of the great arsenals, the inhuman treatment of the Boldiers of the regular army, and the blunders of the naval management, all of which are serious and dispiriting grievances. Putting aside these questions, however, Mr. Froude proceeds to a discussion of another point, namely, whether or not the heart of England is sound enough to stimulate the nation to a successful resistance of foreign aggression; to repel attack, for example, as it resisted Spain in the day of the Armada, or the First Napoleon in the time of threatened invasion. Mr. Froudo'B answer is a molan choly "No!" He writes: "Thirty thousand favorites of fortune alone possess that origi nal hold on English soil which entitles Eng land in return to depend upon them in the day of trial: and thus it is that to persons who think seriously there appears something pre carious in England's greatness, as if with all her wealth and all her power a single disaster might end it." Pursuing thi3 train of thought, he further observes: No nation ever suffered a more tremendou? humiliation than France in the second occu pation of Paris, yet France rallied rapidly, and is now stronger than ever. Her popula tion remained rooted in the soil to which they are passionately attached, and their per manent depression is impossible. If she bo defeated in the present struggle, it will be ultimately the same. Forty millions of peo ple can neither be destroyed nor removed; and where the people are, and where the land is their own, their recovery is a matter of but a few years at most. They may lose men and money; and pos sibly a doubtful outljing province, but that is all the injury which an external power can inflict on them. "With England it is difficult to feel the same confidence. If the spell of our insular security be once broken; if it be once proved that the Channel is no longer an impassable barrier, and that we are-now ou a level with the Continent, the circumstances would be altered which have given us hitherto our exceptional advantages; and those of us who can choose a home elsewhere, who have been deprived of everything which should specially. attach us to English soil that is to say, ninety-nine families out of every hun dred will have lost all inducement to re main in so unprofitable a neighborhood. This is plain language and, unfortunately for England in the existing condition of af fairs, it is likewise true. What folio as id still tLarper, for it hits. THE PRIVILEGED CLASSES. The noble lords I speak of some, not yet, happily, of all are grown" wise in their generation, and acknowledge the excellence of what they once despised. The growth of manufactures has doubled, quintupled, mul tiplied in some instances a hundredfold the value of their land. Their rents maintain them in splendor undreamt of in earlier gen erations, which has now become a necessity of existence. They have their half-dozen parka and palaces; their houses in London, their moors in Scotland, their yachts at Cowes. Their sons have their hunters at Melton, their racing stables, their battues. In the dead season of sport they fall back to recruit their manliness with pigeon shooting at Hurling Lam. These things have become a second nature to them, in which they live and move and have their being. Their grandfathers cared for the English commonwealth. It is hard to say what some of these high persons cared for except idle luxury. Another class of Englishmen, to whom Mr. Froude attaches part of the responsibility for the poverty of the workingmen and for the emigration of skilled artificers and intelligent laborers, consists of the great employers of labor. We quote: THE GREAT MANTTACTUHERS. To the manufacturers abundance of labor means cheap labor, and cheap labor is the secret of their wealth, the condition of their prosperity, the means by which they undersell other nations and command a monopoly of the world's markets. Folitio&l economy, the employer a gospeJ, preaches a relation be tween themselves and their workmen which means to them the largest opportunity of profit with the smallest recognition of obli gation to those upon whose labor they grow rich. Slavery, beyond its moral enormity, was condemned economically as extravagant. The slave born on tha plantation w as main tained while he was too young to wotk at his master's expense. His mattter had charge of him when he was sick, and in his old age. when he could do no more he was fed, cl jhe. I, and lodged for the remainder of his days. The daily wages system, besides having th advantage ol being free contract, leavos the master at the day's end discharged uf further responsibilities. He is bound to his his workman only so long as it is his interest to retain him. Wnd-j trade flourishes and profits are large he gives him full employment. When a dead eeuu supervenes he draws in bis sails. He lies by till better timea return, and discharges hi 4 hands to live upon their savings, or ultimately te be supported by the poor rate till he nee J their services again. The State, therefore, in assisting emigration interferes to rob him of his living. "Keep the people at home," said a noble Lord, "we shall want them when trade revives." Toor rates can . be borne with, for those who are themselves little more than paupers share the burden of thom. Even trades unions and strikes can be borne with so long as the men confine themselves to higgling over the wages rate. Hunger will bring them to terms in time. Anything but a large emigration, for with emigration wages will rise in earnest and profit! lessen. The man by whose toil the master has prospered has gone where his toil is for hi nsclf, where he is taking root upon the land, a sturdy mem ber of the commonwealth, and the home mar ket is relieved of bis competition. The na tion is richer for the change so long as he re mains an English subject, but the ca pitalist employer loses a percentage of his profits. By way of enforcing theso arguments, Mr. Froude cites incontrovertible facts, such as the following: INTINITE WRETCnEDNERS. The infinite wretchodnoss produced by the present state of things ought not to piss for nothing. It has beoome not nnoommon in theRe days to hear of miserable fat tiers and mothers unable alike to support their families or see them starve, destroying their children and themselves, and making an end of their troubles thus. Again, if we please, we may call in Providence. The classes which Buffer most are toughest-hearted. The poor old Devonshire woman with eight hungry mouths about her and a week to feed them, looks with envy on the Lord's mercy to her neigh bors, whose babies die in arms, and sighs out, "We never have no luck;" but this cal lousness itself is frightful, and is in itself one of the causes of the enormous mortality. KILLING INFANTS. Omitting for the present those who are starved and those who are murdered, and confining ourselves to the great bulk of infant mortality, let us ask whether any means exist by which it can be successfully encountered. Encountered, I presume it ought to be if possible; we have not yet. wholly outgrown the idea that there is something in hunirm life more sacred than in the lives of animals, and a murrain among the cattle is considered a sufficient subject for an act of Parliament. Men nay impatiently that the parents are to blame; if the father spent the money which he wastes at the ginshop in providing better clothes and food for his family, this alone would save half those who die; but duty is a matter of conscience, and you cannot make people moral by statute. HOLES FOR HOMES. Tho artisans in the great cities, the agricultural laborers driven out of the old-fashioned hamle ta and nuclulocl into vil lages, are heaped together in masses where wholesome life is impossible. Their wages may be nominally rising, sufiiaienlly, per haps, to keep pace with the rise of prices, but wages form only a small part of the mat ter. The laborer lodges now many miles from his work. Ho leaves his homo in the early morning, he returns to it late at night. The ground in town has become bo enormously valuable that tho factory hand and the mechanis ean afford but a single room, at the best two. When ma day's toil is over ho has no temptation to re turn to the squtilid nest which is all that society can allow him, and he finds the beer house and the gin palace a grateful exohango. The wife, obliged herself to work to supply tho empty platter, must be absent also mauy hours lrom home; she has no leisure to at tend to her children, and they grow up as they can; to fall a prey to disease and aoci dents which lie in wait for them at every turn. LAND MONOPOLY. A Btrangcr travelling on a railway from end to end of England would think that there was no civilized country in the world where thcro was bo much elbow room. lie sees enormous extents of pasture land and undulating fal lows cultivated to the highest point of pro ductiveness, with only at intervals symptoms of human habitations. He sees the palaces of the noble and wealthy set in tho midst of magnificent parks, studded with forest trees and Bheets of ornamental water, or main tained for game preserves and artificial wil dernoBses. In Scotland he Bees whole conn tieB kept as deer forests and grouse moors that the great of the land may have their six weeks enjoyment there in the autumn. Room enough and to spare he would naturally think there must be in a land where ground could be devoted so lav ishly to mere amusement. If he is guest at one of these grand mansions he will be told, as Mr. Goschen says, that over-population is aTdream. He gazes across the broad-reaching lawns or down the stately avenues. Miles distant he sees the belt of forest which bounds the domain and holds the outer world at bay. His host tells him with pride that from his own coal and iron are made the rails which shall link together the provinces of India, that there is no limit to English pro duction, to English wealth, to English great ness. VrjAT MUST COME OF ALL THIS? If we allow our industrial system to extend in the same manner and at tho same rate of increase as hitherto, every feature niont fraught with danger must increase along with it. The boundary line between rich and poor will be more and more sharply defined. The number of those who can afford to hold land must diminish as by a law of nature. The wealthy will become mora wealthy, the luxu riouB more luxurious, whilo there will be an ever enlarging multitude deeply tinoturod with mere heathenism, left to shift for them selves, and resentful of tho neglect, with tho cot of living keeping paee with the advance of wages, and therefore in the presence of ae enormous accumulation of capital, con demned, apparently for ever, to the same hopeless condition, and yet with political power in their hands if they care to ua it, Tee reixeay suggested 10 aiuenu in eviis which are thus forcioly described is organized emigration a subject which would bear much diseunsion, but for tho siguincunt cir enmstauco that this emigration is actually going on, and that many thousands of strong laborers and cf skilled artificers have already found better quarters elsewaere than thj could Lope to compass at home. They wanted to remain Englishmen; they are forced to become Miles. Through their lun i6hmrnt and the causes whioh led to it, Eug land has put herself into the oouditioa which s so vividly described by Mr. Froude. A lady named Luella Gross, who had at tained her one hundred and eeventh ye:r, died recently at Jr!atd, Me. Dr. Chase, of OrUud, made a post-mortem exanaluatiou of the remains shortly after death, lie eutes tbathe found tue tones chalky and crumbly from age, aud tue arteries of the limbs turned to bone.

The nr.erted Ylllnrn of Krnare. A plqnant sketch of the deserted villages Of France Ii given by a correspondent of the London Daily Life In those villain, he savs, when the soldiers make themselves comfortable In the absence of the Inhabitants, ts sort of military pic nic. Everything Is hunted out which ran supply the wants of the momeut, and no attention is paid to the conventionalities which hamper common-plaoe housekeeping. If there be window curtains in one dwelling, and a lack of blankets In another, tho curtains change their function for the benefit of all concerned for the benefit of all save the original owner, who Is far away and forgotten. Tue writer adds: Yonr true deserted vilinge Is deserted because of siege operations. It Is lu the great holt or ruin round Paris, and Its inhabitants lisve fled to escape the dangers of shot and shell. The owner of the curtains above named would have gladly com pounded to lose every article of furniture if only he could save his house. As It is, he may chance to lose furniture and house together. Yet the soldiers will keep this last Dt for habitation If they ean. me mimary picnic requires aoors ana win dows ob these eold nights to make It simplete. There may be need to brvak np some of the furniture II the owner has been careless about firewood, and bas left little or none In store. Hat even then the share and share alike principle of the hour helps out one supply with another, bo that firewood enough is usually found. .so is wine in some cases, oy tne wonuerrnt quick ness of tho men about unearthing It. A Prussian Jaeger has been polDled out to me who has tha re putation or smelling good wine through any depth of earth. Ills Instinct for tracing the slightest sign of concealment, and for judging the likeliest spots In the garden to contain a hidden wine-bin, Is or I o mense Taluc to his comrades. They think the wine of.deserted houses a fair prey, and are content with tue moderation wnicn leaves the bottles uninjured 10 ne niiea again at some ruiuro time. That strong argument, "If we do not the next detachment will," covers much that Is done In a de serted village. Why leave anything but 'Mixtures'' to the unknown successors of those who picnic to day 7 Therere chairs to be shifted from house to house, according to the actual dtstribnMou of the guests. Plates must go where plates are needed even at the risk of confusing different people's din ner services, and useless lumber must be flung into the back yard taut it may not erjwd the sitting rooms. I often thlBk amid all this sad waste of pro perty, this scourging of the land by war, that the scene In snch a village oners a wild suggestion of what would happen If we were to "play at being in a desert Island, ' as children would say, but to piay 11 wuu tue strengia 01 grown-up people. A MIDICAL VIKW. The correspondent of the London Lam-el. tnslda Pari, forwards by balloou post the following com munication, showing that, among other things, the nii.ltary surgeons are practicing conservative sur gery on an extensive scale, and apparently with more successful results than nave been attained in the flelJ: The siege of Paris presents very many points of professional Interest. The almost datly skirmishes, attacks, and larger actions supply the hospitals with wounded, presenting Injuries of all degrees of gravity, aud Illustrating in the measures taken in their management from all that Is Ingenious, scien tific, and admirable, down to that which is lucon- celvably bad, horrible, and disgusting. Conservative surgery is having, In some lnHtnoces at least, a fair trial, and ts doing wonders; lu fact, limbs shattered by bullets are being saved in caes where, some years ago, anything but lnstaut amputation would not have been thought of. A considerable amount of dysentery, rheumatism, fevers, and chest affec tions have arisen from exposure of the troops in bivouacs and in the trains d'abri. There ia very little disease, however, when we consider the great fatigue our troops hav had to undergo, and the wet, Inclement weather we have had during the greater part of October. Meat la now decidedly scarce; butter and milk are luxuries for the very wealthy, ana eggs dimeuit to be hud and ajar. Tiie dally ration of beef or mutton now allowed to each adult Inhabitant's reduced to 33 grammes, that Is, about an ounce and a hair, including bone, and In consequence of imperfect arrange ments there are many who have been un able to obtain that little scrap. The sick and wounded troops, except In the purely military hospitals, are InsufUcleutlv supplied with meat, e -cept, perhaps, In the American ambulance and one or two others, where private energy supplies what official routine fails to furnish. This state of affairs Is injurious to the wounded themselves, and calcu lated to give rise to 111 feeling among their effective comrades. It is, therefore, to be hoped that it will soon be rectified. Grtat abuse had crept Into the system of taking the wounded off the Held. It has been asserted that some persons, who have esta blished private hospitals in their houses, for selfish purposes, have actually paid money to nArm4r for carrying wounded to their carriages near the lie hi of battle. This has now, it is hoped, been put a stop to." LUMbbR. 1870 spruce joist, spruce joist. HEMLOCK.
