THE DECLINE OF FRANCE.

TO TH! EDITOR. Sib,—l notice in your issue of November l»b, a telegram re French politics and what the French Premier says in his Toulouse speech. There be promises a law that will do justice and assure a final appease* tnent, (that means he ia going to be good with every body,) Then in the s&me breath he advocates stern repression of religious associations, thereby he advocates and make* the rod that feels when he says that numerous dangers threaten the Republic. 1 m%y judga by that that the Republicans mean to do a little more persecution, and at the same time nant peace. I hardly can understand him* He does not seem to wish to mix religion with politics, and this is the point I take exception to, and why I write this cote for I have repeatedly b?en told that the downfall of France was became they fnized religion with politics, and that religion dominates in France. Well, sir, I wish ta say that I entirely differ from that, and I do say that the downfall of Franca to day is simply and solely beoauso religion *ud politioß do nob work tepether. That's the reason. Any one may just as well cay that man and wife should not work or live together, or that th« soul and body should not abide together, it would nob take much cleverness to know the results. A house fchab is divided against itself rnuab fall and bo the nations ; and therefore I say that is the duty of the State or temporate Power to protect and support religion, as it is of the man to support hie wife and family Your readers will readily understand what homes such causes would make. Then such ia the case in France to day, in regard to the downfall of France. Thanking you for the space—-1 am, &c, Tbavelier

The Fat Man's Joke

A fat man of Detroit recently played a neat joke on the captain of an up the /iver reeort steamer. The party rußhed down the wharf just as the steamer was pulling out. He was breathless, but he managed to bawl • Please, oap'n, stop tha ship j there's a large party wants to git aboard ' ' • How many in the party 1 responded the captain « Between sixty and seventy ' Ihe skipper gave the bell to back and the steamer was soon again moored to the dook. The fat man lost no time in crossing the gang plank and collecting a cool spot on the upper deck, where he fab unconcernedly fan ning himself with a newspaper. Meauwhile, captain, crew and passengers waited in vain for the large party to appear. Finally, be ooming impatient, the captain strode toward the fat man and demanded to know where was the party of between sixty and seventy. Then the jolly old fat man roared with laughter. •I'm its' he said; Tin the large party between sixty and seventy—l wa« just 65 years old today !' The captain looked as though he wanted bo give an exhibition of the nautical man's ability ia the 'cussing" line, but he caw that the passengers were in sympathy with the portly party's sense of humour and he wisely walked away to his post and gave he order for full speed."
