! Things have greatly cliangecl since that exac t and mos t Impartial observer La Bruyere drew the fol lowing picture of the French peasantry two hundred years agoc ’ ’You gee/ ’ said he "certain wild animala, males ano you think that we are go-itjg to l ive l ike brutes?" *;

{The present ho i so of deputies is all occupied with the question of employers

iajjid employed , granting one by one all tuo demands of the , latter. Nobody *oeni9 concerned about the rural i>opu-hjtion, by far tho most interesting of nil. How is that?. Simply because the j>caH-aiita do not hold stortny meetings , do not sbeak of erecting barricades, and are qjiiet, peaceful, industrious, sol>er and iSw abiding f>eople. The peasant has the rfun, and if his harvest ia destroyed bV the frost, tho hai l or the drought, it is for him to make tho best of it; While

-tpo Paris workman goes to the music hafts, smokes cigars and talks jK>liUe*. Suppose the country engages ui war, the Paris workman assumes a uniform and BJngs war songs, but tlifc peasant sees his l i nd laid waste and h h cottage burned down ; and thin is why you wil l under›stand that he feel* it his duty to hate the (Jermans in a Ureorcticai way , but hopes and trusts that he may not l ive to see tho

h day when he or his sons may be called I upon to avenge the disasters of the ter›

rible year 1870.

A great prejudice imposed upon Eng-, Iisii speaking people on tho subject of France, and one which I shoqid very much l ike to destroy, is the belief in the importance of our Anarchists. This be›lief is kept alive by a few journalists, who love to fill their columns with the sayings and doings of French Anarchists, The Anarchists! Well , we keep the article as the English and Americans do, and they aro about as important a» theirs, prance, honest, economical, hard work›ing, ignores them . They are no |>arty, no power, hi tho state.. They aro not fepresented in our parliament. I believe tha t the German Anarchists alone, of all the parties owning that generic name in Europe, have a true representation in the legislature. , . « If tho French are industrious, they are not so in the same way as the Eng›l ish. The French never, or very seldom, allow themselves to bo completely ab›sorbed by business. They a lways set apart a certain portion of t ime to the amenities of life. They are as serious)as you like at work, but in a momen t they wil l exhibi t any amoun t of good humor at play, and again wil l resume the liar-ness as quickly as it was thrown off. If you go into a shop at dinner t imeI speak now of the smal l provincia l towns you may run tho risk of receiving very little attention, or even none at all.

I remember onceit was a t St. Halo , in the summer I entered a hatter’s shop at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. A wel l dressed, lady l ike gir l came ou t of the back parlor and inquired wha t I wanted .

" I want a straw hat, mademoiselle," I said.

MOh, that’a retj awkward just nowT " l a h>M * .

; "Wa l t , . yousae^shage id , "mybro the r i* a t dinner;*’ and after a pause of a few saoonds aha added; "Would yoq mind cal l ing again in an hour * t imeT ,

* ’Not a t aU," I replied; " I shal l be de›l ighted to do ao." . /*

I waa not only amused , h o t s tmckw i th admiration for the i n d e n t Jntooe a t tha t worthy batter. After a few years ’ real-denes in Eograad , a l ittle *cane of that description was a grnat treat* . watch repaired. . ,

i Nobody wants to know the {Jme i t Normandy , and for three days X did at my happy compatriots. ^ In busineas tha Frenchman is probity itself, aa a rule, and his punctuality would almos t make an Eniriishmai: smile. He may rather l iamper his com* raerce by attention to trifles, but whec he sells yon something: you may take it for granted it is wha t he represents i t for be is jealous o f his good name as s tradesman or manufacturer, and l ikes tc hear compliments o f his goods. H< l ikes the money made ou t of them , ot course, but tha t is no t an absorbing point with h im . He is satisfied when he hat made a modes t fortune> and moves or to make room for another man . So that he has enough to g ive his never very nu merous children a sound education and good start in life* aad procure the modest comforts of lite, he I* con ten t 0 . And this is how in France you see th* good things bt this world mora equally divided than in England . There f>re few jcolossal fortunes; but in the provincial £owns pauperism is not known as an in›stitution, which makea up (or it. I dc not hesitate to affirm that no t only doet tha smal l French bourgeois not covet weal th , but tha t he is almos t afraid of i t H e prefers comfor t to luxury . He con›siders f 1,500 a year a very snug income. When his governmen t securities assun him this sum , ha knocks off work and prepares to make himsel f happy and comfortable for the rest of his life. ,

You may wel l imagine how amusing Ii is to hear sometimes that the good f el ion has the ’ reputation of being unmanage›able and revolutionary. i M

He is so easily manageable that every, t ime wo have a new ministry he says tc IILB neighbor: |

" I see M. So-and-So is made) prion minister; do you know who he i&2"

"No t I," answers the neighbor; " I l iad never heard his name before." .

And both seemed to he concerned about tho new ministry ahrmt us much as I am concerned about the ministerial crisis in tlie Sandwich Islauds, l ie is sc easily manageable that for peace* sake he wil l endure things that would rouse an Englishman to rebellion. Ho has tl» good fortune to l ive under a government tha t looks after Jam and sce£ to all hit l ittle wants , which makes and sells him fireproof cigars1; matches that hart ’struck"that it* to say , which obsti nately refuse to stjrikeand that keep* his public uccoujits und carries them tc tho fourth’decimal*, a luxury which cost* him a good fourth of liis revenue in per sonue l and red tape, but which saves the treasury at least half a crown per an›num . , \ * ~ t<

Tlie cent imes column is guaranteed exac t by every governmen t clerk in France, and t h u a i t i s i l iat Frenchmen ge t consoled for th«v little errors which occasionally occur iii/JUje/^olumnof the mill ions. Tuo Frencltmau ts kept io order by a legion of civi l ians in uniform, from tbe prefect down to theomnihu t conductor, who takes him under h is pro›tection, demands his faro with an air of command , and sets l\im down a t his des›tination as if he wero a parcel. What›ever his governmen t is, he IM constantly complaining of Jt ; but the dear man ough t to know tljat nations lia ve t he gov›ernments they deserve. He generally accuses his administration of doing too much for him. ’ jiVell, he is quite right, but he does wot attemp t to do anything himself. A3 a clever writer on French manners *aid, "Ho b taLen cliarge of, bag and baggage , by the governmen t on his travels, and carefully looked after iu his domicile as if he were a child." Tb man clothed in governmen t uniform as›sumes that arrogant, irot-to-Unques›tioned air which fcould send an English›man into fits.

When the English appoint a new gov›ernmen t official, i t ii another servant tha t you add to your household. When wo French appoint a new government official, it U a new master tha t w e g ive to ourselves to snub u» or to bully us.

1 liave an interesting illustration of this : _ V

Two young chemists (one English , the other French) were i n ’ partnership in Paris, and one day made up their minds to start afresh in Egypt . Each wrote to his consu l in Cairo. Tlie Englishman’s letter ran thus :

" D E A R S I R I am about to open busi›ness as a chemis t in Cairo. Wil l you be good enough to tel l me -what ar t m y chances of success in Egypt , and wha t formalities, if any , I should have to com›ply with before enter ing upon the under›taking? Yours truly,

"JOHX.* By retufn post he received a mos t po›

l i te letter containing all the detailed in›formation he wanted . *

The young Frenchman wrote : "MONSIEUR LK CONSUL O K N X I U L I

am desirous of sett ing up as a chemis t in Cairo. Dare I hope that you wil l spare a few minute* of your valuable t ime to g ive me such information and advice aa you may consider l ikely to be of use to me? With many apologies for intruding upon, you , I have tlie honor to be, ’Monsieur le consu l general, with

greatest respect, fou r mos t obedient and humble servant, . J A C Q U E S "

This letter was written four yes is ago . The dear fellow is still wait ing for tha t consuls reply. Ot course, his Eng›l ish friend is now established in Cairo, comfortable and prosperous, doing a roaring trade in pUls wi th the n,ew pro›teges of her Britannic ma jest v.
