Olympia Brown, a leader in the woman suffrage movement, of Racine, Wis,, is in the city and made an adaress yesterday afternoon at the Masonic temple on the sub- ject of nutioual prosperity. Tho address was aunounced in the churches as a sermon, and it was preceded and followed by a prayer. but so deftly did the speaker work 1t that it was bard for the audieuce to tell whether whst was betwesn the two pravers was a sermon or & political specch. How- ever, “if she did leave some doubt in the minds of her hearcrs on the subject she suc- ceoded in giving the church members a chance to mix up in politics a little und gave the politicians a chance o go o chiurch aud yel scarcely know it, “The speaker made woman's suffrage the main theme of her discourse, aud in 80 doing waded into both of the old parties recklessly. She said that peitber of them paid any at- tention to the question of the advancement of bumanity, out they bolh dealt entirely with questions of expediency, such as tariffs, the like. This devotion to m: terial interests nad penetrated iuto every department of politics, and its effect wmight oven be seen in the church, where the doc- trines of election and total depravity, and the question where the pastor would get bis next month's sulary had tukon precedence of the spiritual matters that sbould occupy its attention. According to her idea, the mis- tako of a lifetimo was being made by tne two old partios whon they refused to allow women 1o vote. Tho vollng power was bei, bused on strength and sex, not on spiritual "qualitications, The reason for the existence of thef United States as & nation lay in its huviog taken the stand that all had equal FIRDY o lite, liberty and the pursuit of hup- piness, In depriviug women of the right Lo vote the governwent had deprived the woman's suffragists of one of their sweetest rights, sod had, accordingly, brokeng iho promise it bad made to the nations of the world, Tn giving power to the coarser and baser elomonts of society, euch men, the «overument had disfranchised the church, which was l"f lg cowmposed of women, had enfranch! the penitentiaries, s, saloous and brothels, which are largely maintained by the maie members of society. She conteuded that by giviog the women the right to vote it wouls 8000 bo brous about that the political parties would give much attontion to courches as to brewers' assoclations, and that owperance and virtue { tance intwenty-three hours, would be as_powerfal on election day as in- temperance and vies. The speech was a very eloquent one, and was listened to with the greatest shote of interest by an audience of about 100, while the ‘Amens" and the frequent applause that i were elicited from the brethren showed tho approval which met ner sentiments.

Fir t the travelor will seo the Chantillon cliffs, white and irregular in outline as those of Dover, seen in the harbor just opposite. In former times, during the invasion of Julius Cesar, & famous ocastie stood here, but it has long since disappeared by reason of the encroachment of tho sea. Rangiog the eye along this chalky coast wa s0a the for of Heurt, bullt 1n 18)3 by Napoloon L., and beyond, at the extreme point of the cliff, the lighthouse ot Cape Alpreck, which exhibits n fixed white light, varied every two minutes by o red flash, visiole at a distance of twelve miles, On the left extends a second range of ¢liffs on which stanus an electric lighthouse, whose revolving lights show three white flashes followed at intervals by a red one. But bafore the oye roaches this point it will have been attracted by a picturesque mass of ruins, those of the Fort of the Creche. The frst object along the shore is the church of St Pierra of the Sailors, and tard by, the large Calvary much rever- cnced by thess seafaring men. With true religious sentiments, intermingled with a bit of superstition, they never eateror leavo port without lifting their eves and whisper- ing u prayer to Our Lady of tho Sea. Where tho Fisher Folk Live. As wocoms nearer wesee the old town lying peacefully below the ancient walls, grass-grown ramparts overlooking a vroad stroteh of throbbing sea, with idle groups of vouts and swaying ssils resting close to the busy, noisy quay. Above sll rises the old grey tower of Godefrol de Bouillon among narrow, tortuous streets flanked on either side by low-roofea houses leaning one against the other with an uncertainty of support begot by extreme age. Thois is the old part of the town known, as the Haute Ville, where tue fisher folk live and where the womon sit on the door- step braiding long lengths of fishing net while they chatter and gossip with their equally voluble noighbors. Almost hidden by n screen made up of old buildings is the catbedral aedicaled to Notre Dame of Boulogne, the patron saint of the town. In connection with the first cathedral (erected in 633), this one being the third ereoted on the sums spot, there is a pretty legend, which was related to mo by an old saflor recently, down on the sands. I wish that I might give it here precisely as it was given me in Boulonnais French and witn all that enthusiasm and peculiavity of speech which this Jack tar threw into'it, but this being 1mpossible L transiate it as best I can. A Pretty Freach Legend. It was during the reign of Dagobert 1. that a boat, without eithor milot or sailors on boara,was seen to enter the port of Boulogne, which the sea, by its extreme calinness scems to respect. 1 may say here, en pas- sant, that this 18 a tdal barbor, anda can only be ontered or quitted at high water. A brilliant lignt sued its rays over the voat and caused numerous pepsons to run to the shore to see what it contained. They founa on board an image of the Holy Virgin, ubout tovee feet high, besutifully carved iun wood, and holdiog the inlant Jesus on her 'arm. While the. novelty of the speotacle charmed Lhose. Whom a pious curi- osity had attracted to, tne shore, the Holy Virgin did not cause, less delight in the hearts of the rest of the ivhabitants, who were assembled in the chapel in the Haute Ville offering up their accustomed prayers, She appeared to them in great brilliancy and informed them that the angels, by holy commandment, had conducted the boat to their shores, wherein they would find ber image. Sho ordered them to bring it and deposit it in the chapel, which she had se- lected as the place where she would receive their ufferings. She then commanded them to dig in a certamn place which she pointed out, where they would find materials to bulld & church worthy of her. The news of this apparition immediately spread ail over the city, and the people descended in crowds to the shore to receive the sacrod charge, The image was carried with greal solemuity to the chapel, where it remained unul deswroyed In the great revclution in 1703 Boulogne's Extensive Fisherios. The leading indusury, prosecuted with aonually increasing activity, is that known as the fisherles, and the Boulogne fishing boat may te met with at differeut seasons of the year, not oaly in the Enghsi chaannel, 11s field of operations, but also in the North ses and all round tho United Kingdom. The building yards fit out a pum- ber of schooners for the cod fishory off the coasts of Ireland. These vessels remain uway during eight months out of tho twelve, Whilo the largor luggers proceed to the At lantic for mackerel, which are salted on board. The most important peche is for berring, which are caught by the Boulogne boats throughout the vear. ‘Tho height of the soason, however, 18 in November, when millions are passing through tho strdits on tneir way down the channel. Iam told that some years the hauls are so plentiful that the surfeit has to be appropriated ior agri- caltural purposes, and used to fertilizo the ground. Basides theherring, cod and inack- erel, which aro the foremost fisheries in peintof numbar and returns, the meriet is well stocked by smacks which enter as regularly as the tide with cargoss of solcs, turbot, swelt, whiticg and every species of odible fish. How the Fisher Folk Dress. The costumes of the fisher folk are victur- esque in the extreme. The women wear short gowns of brown or dark blue stuff, with & kerchief, once of distinct colors, now tonea down to harmonious tones, brought over the shoulders and tied 1n loose folds at the walst, whnile on the head is a suow-white cap of musiin with & wide frill of lace, open- ing out over tho face.. Their logs and arms are bare: their peasant features ara hard, even to severity, in outling; their voices ars clear and sofc as the tones of a bronze bell as they go about the streets crying their hor- ring or fresh mackerel, Somo of the fcungar women are pretty, in their own peculiar way, with great lnmlnouljflu and brilliant color- ing. There is, too, a Jold grace about them which is in harmony With their class—an ease of movement aird.a complete disregard for all the proprieties, When catch has been heavy;there 15 considerable drinking among the women as well as the men, they become quarrelsome and abusive and have been known td'dosome expert fight- ing. They are strongund muscular and I nave never had a desimito be on any but the best of terms with theu,,in my dealings with them-at the fish marke, Boulogne's Saperb Sands, * 1 bad alwoys heard:#hat the sands at Bou- logae were the finest of any in the world,and 1 looked anxiously fosward to sceing them in order 10 make comparisons with otber sea- shores. Now that I ‘have seeu them—soft and fine, without a peBbie to touch the foot— 1 can suy with trath thwt they fuily merit their reputation. How delightful the sensa- tior. to feel one's self sinking deep into them after a plunge in the sea! The time for bathing is in the morning from 10 to 12, Heiween those bours the beach s crowded with men, women and children—the lavter in sailor suits riding miniature donkeys, or building impregua- ble (1) forts.

London Markets Affectd by the Sprend of the Cholera, Loxpoy, Sept. 4. —Discount, if anything, was easier this week, but there was no quot- avle change. The failures of the week did notappear to affect the market much, but they served as reminders of the heavy losses suffered 10 all departments of trade and finance. Thero is little likelihood of o re- vival of husiness in the near future.
