The French cannot help their hearts being troubled of late apparently. No sooner is the Carthusian marks affair dispose of, than that vieille guitare the depopulation question is one more raised for discussion. All the debates in the world will not lassen the fact that France is on the decline, and that the evil continues to laugh at remedy as much as love dons at lork smiths. Despite overy form of encouragement held out to the inhabitants to increase and multiply the intricate problem remains as stationary as over. The majority have come to the just and painful conclusion that the country is declining, and that in a future more or less remote, France at the rate she is going on is destined to dwindle down into a power of the past. So long as the decrease in the population was considered merely a transitory evil, there was ground for hope, but year after year it has continued, until at present such hope has been turned isto despair. The ugly fact is patout to all; there are fewer marriages and fewer births than ever, while to make the picture atill darker. the births are in a large proportion those of flagitimate children. Oh! for the time-a little more than a century ago-arhem Franco was the most populous nation in Europe! All inds of cases oxist for this serious state of affairs. Some attribute it to a general weaken- ug of the French race. How can that be, when they are precisely the oldest Provinces, such as Normandy and Brittany, that continue to show an increase in the dwindling birth rate?

The objection to large families in France, which daily booming stronger, arises chiefly ont of a feeling of responsibility as to the duty of parents to provide permanently for their chil- aren. According to the Socialists, depopulation of the bad laws on property is the consequenE and succussion, which reader the maintenance of children too heavy a burden for the majority of persons. The spread of insanity resulting from the alms of strong drinks contributes

of France. The number of alcoholic lunatica is quite three times as large as it was a quarter of a century ago, particularly among women. marriages and luxurious habits are other mnquestionable eanses, to say nothing of trashy and immoral novels which exercise so much perdition on society, Bo long as vice is made classed as a quantité negligeable. France must palatable to the public appetite, and virtues is expect to go down hill at an irresistible pare. No end of remedies are suggested while some maintain that it is necessary to go back to the droit d'ainete in order to avoid the parcalling! out of the soil and maintain the homogeneity of family life in Frasce, ofhers propose the simplification of marriage formalities the reduction of military service, and the taxing of bachelors. The effect which depopulation is haring on the Army is alone sateient to alaris Chauvinista.

Hemurl, chief of the Detective Department. who holds a warrant for the Italian nobleman's arrest, reperts good progress. The Count by means of a clever swindling trick successfully managed to bleed various people in London and elsewhere of antas amounting to nearly £100,000, alleging that he had secured from M. Roavior, the French Minister of Finance, a most valuable concession-the right to impose a tax of two tvory Stock Exchange transaction taking place on the market, as distinct from the official market on the Bourse here.

SUBMARINES.

Very interesting and conclusive experiments are being carried on by the French Admiralty with the view of testing the comparative merits of submersible versus submarine craft. Up to the present we have had no reliable resit. Orders have recordingly bean given for the Lobanf submersible_ Aigrette at Toulon, and Mangos Submarine Z, at Rochefort, to proceed at once to Cherbourg, where competitions are to take place on arrival. Expert opinion may be said to ho divided actually. Admiral Gervais, now retired, thought that on the whole the sabmersible was the more useful typo of the two bonts; the Minister of Murine, M. Pelletan, is of a contrary opinion. Every fleet in the world will be anxious to know the result of so practical and useful a test.
