Foreign Notes.
PEETABED FOB THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER.
The reported alliance between the Peers and
the people turns ont to be a myth. It appears
that communications stating that a number of
Lords and Members of Parliament had concert
ed common measures with the representatives
of a workingmen’s association for the purpose
of improving the lot of the walking classes,
were first circulated by provincial papers.
These reports were published by the London
Daily News, seemingly in an authentio form
and created a great sensation. Most of thi
Peers mentioued in connection with these
statements as Lords Sanlsbnry, Lome, Carnar
von, Derby, Sir 8. Northcote, have since de
clared them to be mere inventions. The pro
ject has also found little favor with the other
party, and representatives of the Democratio
associations of London have called a meeting
and unhesitatingly rejected the idea of such an
alliance.
In consequence of the abolition of tbe pur
chase system in the British army, all applicants
for military commission aro now required to
pass through a rigid examination.
The mortal remains of the late Field Mar
shal Sir John Burgoyne, were carried with
great pomp to the tower. The chapel in which
the old warrior was deposited is the last resting
place of many illnstrions dead, as Anne Bo
leyn, Catherine Howard and the Countess of
Salisbury, celebrated as the last of the Planta-
genets puxsang.
The “ Messager de Paris ” draws a remarka
ble parallel between the French revolutionists
of our own days and those of 1830. “Let U3
compare the men of 1830," the paper says,
“ with those of the restoration, the men of 1848
with those of 1830, and the men of tbe 4th of
September, 1870, with those of 1848.” Do we
not find a terrible degeneracy, and does not each
of our revolutions appears step on the down
ward road ? Tbe 4th of September cast a strong
light on a single man, M. Go.inbetta, a repre
sentative of political Bohemianism, whom M.
Th6irs once called a “political fool,’’ and the
“ Ordre,” “ a Frenchman to madness.” What
ever onr opinion of him may be, it is certain
that he was nneqnal to the task he had under
taken, and that he was crushed by tbe terrible
force of events. M. Thiers is the survivor of
two or three generations of politicians, and this
is the canso of his great superiority. The oel-
ebrated President need only look aronnd him
to realize the depth to which we have descend
ed by means of successive revolutions. Had
not even the opposition nnder the restoration,
when it was led by Chateaubriand, Bojer-Cal-
ard, Foy and Benjamin Constant, a splendor
and a dignity which it never has possessed
since? These were worthy opponents of the
government. Under Lonis Phillipe the opposi
tion of the left, besides M. Thiers, was repre
sented by Odillon^Barrot, Ledrn Rollin and
Manguan, and there were men like Berryer on
the right. Who were the leaders of the opposition
in 1848 ? Blanqni, Barbis, Feli Pyat—what a
fall is here! A generation of adventurers take
the place of a generation of statesmen. We
think with horror of the monstrous dwarfs who
are to create new revolutions, if we do not put
an end to thesr senseless changes whioh are de
stroying onr national character and making us
a nation where nobody can command and no
body obey.
L’Union, tho famous organ of the Gatholio
party, ridicules the idea which the Bonapartists
are endeavoring to propogate in France—that
Napoleon III was betrayed; and it ascribes
most of the ill-fortnne of tho ex-Emperor to his
having himself traitoronsly abandoned the cause
of Rome. The Union maintains that France
should have prevented the unification of Italy,
whioh it qualifies as the “fatal and detestable
mother of German unity.” It regrets the over
throw of the Germanic Confederation whioh is
called the best diplomatic mark of the Congress
of Vienna. Then came Sadowa, the tomb of'
so many things for which we should menrn as
well as Austria. German unity was achieved,
and onr greatness was undone. The Union is
bitterly opposed to tho retnrn of “that man who
n9vei speaks and always lies,” and declares that
the re-establishment of the empire would be the
restoration of falsehood.
On the other hand, the Bonapartists are very
active. The Avenir Liberal proposes to found
an Imperalist club, for which already seven
thonsand signatures have been received in
Pari% Clement Duvemois, its editor, says that
the welfare of France can only be assured by
the restoration of the Empire, and be tries to
show that no government has done more for
the people oi given greater security to property.
There is also an address to Napoleon circulat
ing among the officers and soldiers who served
in the Imperial army. The document, the con
tents of whioh are not known, will afterward be
presented to the ex-Emperor in Chiselhnrst.
The disbandonment of the National Guards
throughout France, is almost completed.
The revolt in Algeria is suppressed. The
Independence Beige states that the French
Government intends to bring in a bill banishing
tho Bonapartes from French soil, while the
Minister Olivier and Pklikao shall be impeached.
The Journal des Debate announces the publi
cation of a book which, for a little while, will
probably be the leading topic in the French
capital—“Vie de Marie—Anielie, reine des Fran-
cais—written by Auguste Trognon, has the ob
ject of reminding the French people favorably
of the House of Orleans by showing what
France possessed in that family under such a
queen and mother. The trees whioh were felled
in the Bois de Bonlogne daring the seige are
being replaced by new ones, from the forests of
Fontainbleu and Senart. There are fifteen thou
sand wanting.
Strikes threaten to become a permanent in-
stitntion in the large German cities. Increase
of wages and rednotion of labor, have become
the watchword of the toiling masses. There
will a committee of workingmen meet in Berlin
on the 19th of November, in order to organize
a large strike for the redaction of daily labor to
nine hours and a general increase of wages.
The military budget, to be submitted to the
German Reichstag, demands a sum of 89,996,-
393 thalers. The strength of the army on a
peace footing, is fixed at 401,659 men.
Compulsory military service will be intro
duced in Alsace and Lorraine in October, 1872.
This law, however, will not be applied to those
inhabitants of tbo provinces who were born be
fore the first of January, 1851. October was
chosen to draft the first recruits, because the
first of that month is the date fixed by the treaty
of peace, before which the people of Alsace and
Lorraine have a right to decide whether they
prefer the French or German nationality.
When the triumph of the Bohemians Beemed
abont to be oomplete, it failed by their immod
erate demands. They replied to the Imperial
manifesto by insisting for Bohemia npon the
same privileged position Hung-iry holds toward
the remaining provinces of the Empire. Thus,
only the finnnoes, the national defense and for
eign affairs would have been nnder the control
of the central Government at Vienna, while all
other branches of the legislatnre w'are placed
in the hands of the Bohemian Landtag. Then,
the Emperor issued another manifesto, declar-
ing that tho concessions to be made must re
main within the provisions of the exisfiog con
stitution which the grant of the Ozech claims
wonld virtually abolish. Tha Hohenwart min
istry haying resigned after the failure of
its favorite policy of reconciliation, Francis
Joseph has depnted Baron Kellerperg to frame
a new cabinet. We doubt that the new Premier
will succeed better than his predecessor, for
another is fast approaching its disolution and
nothing short of a miracle can save the
monarchy.
The “Fanfulla,” a Florence paper, states that
officers of tho French staff general are studying
the Alpine Passes on the Franco-Italian frontier
near Nizza. The Italian cabinet, at ail events,
seems to think that a war with France is within
the range of possibilities, the Government con
templating the fortification of the Alpine Passes
at a cost of two million dollars. Jabno.
A Benighted Region—Men and 9Ian<
ners in the New River Country.
Charles Nordhoff writesfrom West Virginia to
the New York Tribune:
The new river runs through a gorge, or what
in California they call a canon, for nearly the
whole of its course from the month of the Green
River to its jnnetion with the Kanawha. The
population of this canon is not numerous, bnt
it has long been solitary, and is, in some re
spects, extraordinarily rude and peculiar. The
people have been so long shut ont from the rest
of the world, and have had so little communica
tion with the top of the mountains above them-
that they have acqoired, to some extent, man,
ners and customs of their own. Their employ
ments are hunting and fishing, and in a small,
desultory way, farming—which means raising
corn and calves; for though where the
canon widens, they have pasturage for cows,
milk is not a part of their diet. The New River
country has been, from time immemorial, a
convenient and safe place of refuge for persons
in this vicinity who had reason to fear tho law.
It is said that it was first settled by each per
sons, and daring the late war its people had the
reputation of preying on both armies, knowing
thai no General conld afford to send a force into
their deep ravine to pnrsne them. The lower
part of tbe river is bnt little inhabited; and as
you ascend there are occasional narrow flats,
where yon will find a farmer established in a
small and cheerless log cabin, with a lot of
white headed children, among whom I should
say from observation girls predominate. When
the engineer of the railroad first entered this
canon, the children and women nsed to hide
themselves at their approach. By and by they
grew bolder; and one day a little boy was caught
and duly asked his name.
Where is your father ?” the engineer next in
quired.
'He’s gone to the top, to ftnd a place to live
at,” was the reply.
Why are you going to move away ?”
“Father don’t want to live yer no longer, now
the railroad's cornin’ along,” was tho answer;
and it is, I believe, a fact that the people are
gradually deserting the canon, now that the
work on tho road is going on. Near Stretoher’s
Neck we came upon a grist mill, standing in a
narrow side gorge. This mill, I was told, is
owned in common by the people, and hither
they come from the adjoining parts of the canon
to grind their corn. They usually come in the
night, when tbe Blender mountain stream which
drives the mill is strongest; and an old bedstead
had been set np in the mill, near the hopper,
where they slept while the corn was grinding.
There is no miller. Each grinds for himself.
Tho men complain that the women have to dress
too much, now that the railroad men move abont
the country.
’’How are your folkswas asked of a New
River man by one of onr company, and he re
plied “They're all kickin’ round.” Among their
social customs are two which seem to be derived
from ancient history. Widows aro cared for
commonly after the Old Testament rule, so I
was told; and brides after a fashion which, I
think, Herodotns tells ns of, for it is their cus
tom not to marry a woman until her first child
is born. For this they give oddly enough, the
reason that the people are poor, doctors not at
tainable, and tne birth of tho first child, as they
believe, always dangerous to the mother’s life,
whereupon the intending husband chooses to
wait and throw npon the parents the troable
and expense of a possible funeral. Ho wants a
wife to cook, wash, sew and keep house for
him; and if she is to die, he don’t want her at
aU. ^
VERY CURIOUS.
The Experience of the Spirit of an Anti-
Spiritualist.
The Louisville Courier-Journal tells this
story:
Mr. B , a resident of this city, who is
noted for the acuteness of his peroeptive pow
ers, his intelligence, and scrupulous veracity,
relates an experience that seems to ment the
attention of those who seek to know more of
the nature of man, especially since Mr. B. is
not a spiritualist nor an orthodox Christian,
who might be snspooted of crednlity, bnt a ma
terialist, who behoves that the soul is the result
of physical life and ceases to exist as an indi
viduality when physical life ends.
He says: Some years ago I lived in St. Lonis.
My r^idence was on Olive street, and I occupied
two stories of the house. We did our cooking
in the first story, and onr sitting-room was in the
second story, from which there was an outside
and an inside stairway by which we conld go
duwn to reaoh tho street. One evening, re
turning home abont nightfall, I sat down in a
rocking chair in our sitting room, while my wife
went down stairs to prepare supper. From the
kitchen she conld have seen me if, in a som
nambulic state, I had gone down either of the
stairways, but she is positive that I did not go
down stairs. I must have been but a few min-
ntes sitting in the rocking-chair when I had an
impulse to go down town. I had no special
business, bnt felt that I must go, and I seemed
to go down stairs by the outside stairway. I was
not consoions of my unusual sensation.
Passing on down the street I met many per
sons returning from work, and it strnok me as
singular that none of them gave way to me. 1 1
had to get out of their way or they would have
run against me. I came opposite a bank acd
noticed that there was a light inside. This did
not astonish me, as I knew that in many banks
and stores a light is kept homing all night, bnt
I looked in and saw a man inside counting notes.
I felt a wish to go in and I knew that the door
was shut and locked. I could see that, bnt it
seemed that the door did not close so tightly bnt
I conld slip in, and I did so. I noticed exactly
tbe hour that was shown by the bank clook, and
oould hear the clock ticking. I went opposite
the man who was busily engaged counting notes.
He had hair a little gray and very peculiar fea
tures. I noticed that he sorted the notes as he
ran them over, throwing the diff rent denomi
nations apart, and then counting them.
Observing this for a few minutes, I was sud
denly seized with dread le t the man should
look up, and, supposing I t. d eutae in with
some felonions intent, do me some harm as by
shooting me before I could explain how I got in
after the door was locked. In considerable
trepidation, I for the moment conld not see how
to get ont. I did not remember that I conld go
ont where I had gone in. Wishing to have the
man see me withont being startled, and think
ing that the best way to excuse my presence
was for him to see me between him and the
door, I went round to his side to attract his at
tention, bnt he did not seem to see me even
when he looked toward me. I attempted to put
my hand on his shonlder to insure his attention,
but somehow I conld not touch him. I spoke
to him, but he did not seem to hear a word that
I said.
Recollecting then how I had got in, I went
ont through the door crack, and went straight
home, the only noticeable incident being, as on
going down town, that those I met did not give
way to me. I had still to step aside, or they
wouldhave run against me. On getting back to
onr sitting room, I settled myself in the rocking-
chair, and the next thing I knew my wife was
shaking me to have me wake np for tea. How
long had elapsed from the time when I came
home from work until my wife called me to sup
per, I have no means of knowing exactly.
Now I might suppose that the whole was a
dream, but for some unaccountable circum
stances. One of these was that lhad not pre
viously noticed the bank in my waking honrs.
The next day after this curious experience I
went down the street as I had seemed to go the
night before, and I saw the bank and the man
whom I had seen counting notes was there be
hind the counter. I reoognized at onoe his
marked features and grayish hair. I am utter
ly at a loss to account for my experience. That
I did not leave the sitting room my wife is con-
dent. When she woke me I was in the chair as
I was when she went down stairs. If there is a
spirit distinot from body, and it was that spirit
went down street and saw things previously un
known why was I not consoious of being out of
my body?
