Loxpox, Mareh 14, 1885. The British lion has been fed upon lange slices of humble pie this week. Lord Granville has indulged in apologetic platitudes which have aroused the indignation and contempt of the French press, “The Emperor William,” says the Rappel, “has cause to rejoice, In 1866 he annexed Austria, in 1870 he dismembered France, in 1885 he has suppressed England.” OF course it the French hay ciliation with G: some anxiety. It mi traditional pride was the mainspring of the strength of old England, and her public humil- iation may do more to destroy her prestige in india than several defeats in the Soudan. not the honor of England that at heart so much as her recon- rmany, Which causes them be said, however, that It s a curious thing to note how the English papers delight in reproducing all the bitter sayings of the Parisian press on the subject of gland, and how carefully they refrain from reproducing whatever is said in their favor, It would seem as if they had set themselves the task of proving that Jacques Bonhomme hates John Buil. ° A stock exehange cunard had taken its filght the other day, about 2 o'clock, and gone and settled among the offices of Fleet street. hour later London was covered with ne’ One er contents bills, announcing in letters of five nehes long that the French troops had been annihilated by the Chinese in Tonquin. Two days later the little. French garrison gained an important victory over the Celestial troops, and the same contents bills announced the sad tn- telligence in minute type, carefully hidden among other more or less uninteresting news. On the other hand, the French seem to be very busy, at present, proving that the Russians cannot fail to besoon mastersof India, Oh! the dear neighbors ! To an impartial observer, who goes on his way Philosophizing, and keeping his eyes open to what passes on each side of the Channel, It is really a very amusing sight to see how the two countries set to work to inspire sentiments of love and respect in each. And, since [am on this topic, I should like to explain away an international grievance, in which the Ameri- cans appear to side with the English, When English people alight in a French hotel and find no soap on the washstand, do you believe they conclude from this that the French-carry soap in thelr trunks when they travel? Not a bit of it. They conclude that the French do not Wash, or that, if they do, their ablutions are performed by Means of a corner of their hand- erchiefs dipped in water. Mark Twain, the prince of American humorista, exclaims upon entering the bedroom of a French hotel: “What, Waiter, no soap! Don't you know that soap is Indispensable to an Englishman or an Ameri- on that only a Frenchman can do with- out li?” * The English and their American cousins may perhaps be astonished to hear that aFrench- man would have as much repugnance in using hotel soap as any of them would in using a loothbrush ihat they might find on a hotel washstand, Iwill make bold to inform them even, th great many French ladies are so particular as to earry about with them a supply Of bedroom towels When they travel.

In 1711, after the victories of Blenheim and Mal- Jaquet, Addison lifted his voice against this rruption of French words, and asked that the law should interdict the use of them, Oh, Ad- dison, stop thy ears and veil thy face!

In fighting the Chinese we have this difficulty to contend with, a8 ‘most Christian nations have when they fight eastern people, the gnemy are ever ready to go and enjoy happiness which they belleve awaits them future life, whereas mostofus Christians prefer postponing the day instead of courting with alacrity the moment that will change fleeting joys into eternal ones, ats It has been left toa Frenchman to furnish the world with the best appreciation of the Mahdi, that more or less problematic personage who is now causing so much anoyance to John Bull.

The learned French orientalist ed his interesting lecture by describing resent Mahdi. “The Mahdi was born at Dongola in the year 1843 of ourera. His father was called Abdallah, and his mother Amina. He has on both cheeks three parallel scars, ‘These details, though they have for us no value, are very significant for the Mussulmans, for one of the most ancient traditions attributed to Ma- hommed declares that the Mahdi will bear the sume name as the pos and that the father of the Mahé: name as the prophet’s father.
