The French Republic.

To persons interested in the {welfare of the Republic of France, the cutlook is not promising. The people of France are confirmed and persisteut hero-follow- ers; and they have now vo hero. Gambetta is dead; and the Republican Leaders who remain have not reached the heroic standard. Till another “ star” appears public affairs in Fraoce must be in au unsettled or critical position ; and should the star have a teudeucy to despotism, it is more than likely that the Republic will collapse. But, perhaps, the rude shock which this man worship has lately re- ceived, may teach the French people some self reliance, and to trust ia princi- ples. It is upon this basis only that popular self-Goverument can be lasting.

‘‘ Three Cheers to Senator Howlan.”’

Ir ia always pleasing to public men to find that their effurts on behalf of the material interests of the people are appre- ciated. When Senator Howlan crossed the Capes last week, on his way to the Senate, the men who man the winter!

who has received an ordinarily good Eng- lish education, there should te s:fficient intellectual activity to make reading, and |

good reading, one among the pleasures of : life. But we must not expect too much from our pupils while at school. Five hours at school, with, perhaps, aa bovr or two for pr-psration—six or seven hours work a day with ‘‘dry” books—is quite as mueh as any grown up person wonld care

/ to give himself; and we cannot expect the ordinary run of scholars to do more. But the teachers should = try

ito form the taste, eo that when the pupils | leave school they may go on with reading In some way or ways, good reading should | ibe worked in with school work. Might | not the older classes read with their teach- | lers some good book through? In these | days of very cheap literature, such a book jean be got for a few cents, and would be lof the cheapest school books that can be given. In schools where Latin and Grerk are taught, we think nothing of spending an hour a day for menths in reading thoroughly and critically a book of Virgil or Homer. How would it do to spend as much time over say—Washington Lrving’s ** Sketch Book,” or ** Oliver Twist?’ There is the danger of making these books dis- liked as being school books, and so hindering limstead of promoting toe taste for good reading; but, if the scholars area not too

young, this danger could be avoided. | B-sides reading good books. in school

Vinnicombe so delighted the audience wit) | one of his popular and skilifuily played| violin sulos,—*' Blue Bells of Scotland” with | variations —that he, too, had to put in| another appearance. He appeared alsu as | priveipal in a violin duet with Mr. Freize, which was well received. A word of piarse | is due to the ladies who acquitted them- | selves so well as accompinyists. This is a difficult art requiring much taste and judg- | ment, and, when done wel!, dese ves proper | recognition, which ii does nut always receive. | tn concluding this hasty notice we would | lke to say a vort ‘o our lady amateur singers, which, we trust, wil be taken in the sawe spirit in which it is offered. That

animation before the publie that you do in yourown parlors. Cultivate confidence ; try to shake off that timidity which too often causes you to m-ke a failure, when you are quite able to seore a brilliant success. As a rule your public perfor- mance falls far sher: of your rehearsal. The newspaper critic is aware of this, and if you foilow the advice here given, you will give that much abused individual scope tudo you full justice, and he will have so many less white les to answer for; bocanse, as a rule, he is compelled, for reasons which &re well understood, to praise you for the manner in which he knows you

position, rather than visit you with adverse criticism for the manner in which you did render it. We hope our fair friends will not send us to coventry for offering this well-meant advice, and it may appease their wrath somewhat if we include in the above remarks amateur performers of the other gender.

His Grace THe ARCHBISHOP, during the week, bas been visiting the schools of Halifax. On the 30th ult. he paid a visit to the Sum mer Street School, which is in connection with the Convent of the Sacred Heart He Was presented with an address and a bouquet of flowers. The Herald understands that His Grace is highly pleased with the happy state of things existing in Halifax, not only in re'a- tion to echool matters, bat with regard to the good feeling that exists among all classes ofthe community. The ‘At Home” on Mon- day last was largely attended by all classes, and by the most prominent citizens, including the military, the latter appearing in full um- form.

Tue U. S. Census returns, just made public, on this head, state that there are now 713,295 Canadians in the United States’ The largest number, of course, come from Ontario and Quebec, whose sons number 610,017 ; Nova Scotia has sent 51,160 across the border; New Brunswick, 41,788; Prince E-lward Island, 7,537; other parts, including, we suppose, the newer Provinces and Newfoundland, th ugh it is not part of Canada, j7,537. An attempt is in progress to repatriate some of the French- Canadians. It has been attended with a par- tial measure of success.

During the year 1882 three hundred per- sons were killed and one thousand seriously injured in and abont the anthracite coal ficrlds of Pennsylvania. This makes twenty- seven more deaths from accidents than dur- ing the year 1881. This is a large luss of human life, arising from two causes : first, from the cupidity of the owners in trusting to coal pillars instead of timber beams and braces to support the roofs of the workinge; and in the second piace from the careless- uosé Of the miners themselves in using ex- posed lights instead of the safety Fann jes Wit® Which they are provided. “ *

Charles Palmer, Esq., spoke of the of useless, and worse than useless ‘ yellow covered literature”; and suggested that biographies of great persons are usually interesting to young persons.

Mr. William Kennedy, Mr. Bowers, Mr. Montgomery, Miss Lawson, Mr. Dancan, Miss Eliza Lawson, Miss Suaddon, and others followed, with observations and sug- gestions resulting from their personal ex- perience; and at the close a unanimous vote of thanks was given Mr. Hodzson for his

paper.

The Orchestral Club’s Concert.

Tue second pubic appearance of the season, of this organiz tio), assisted by a number of lady and ventlemen amateurs, was made last evening o a good hvuse; and it was pleasing to notice a great improve- ment on tie p evious effort. It is safe to predict that, in time and_ with practice and attenticn to detail, Mr. Vinni- combe will succeed in bringing the Club up toa highly creditable state of efficiency ; and it is to be hoped his efforts will be as handsomely backed up in the future as they have been iu the past by a liberal patronage on the part of the music loving portion of the public. It is a well-worn expression (>ut as true as it is old) that mus'c has an elevating tendency. We see this verified allaround us. It is the duty of all to

second the efforts of those who devote themselves to improve the moral status of a community, for

the accomplishment of which nothing is so powerful as the practice of the divine art. The programme on this occasion was, with the exception of one or two numbers, of alight character. Most of the orches- tral pieces weve performed in such a mann-r asto call furth hearty applause, and the club showed the advancement they had made, in the rend: ring of Rossini’s overture to Tancredi, (one of those grand mspiriting compositions which wil] remain popular for many genera'ions to come) Lieut. Hasle- wood’s solo, *‘Carrissima,” was sung with good taste in a tine, clear, tenor voiee. An encore was demanded, but not responded to. Miss Hensley’s piano solo ‘* Rondeau Brilliant,” was skilfully played, and se- a well-merited encore. Miss K. Hensley sang ‘‘A Sammer Shower,” ‘so pleasingly that she was called up ayain, ;“hen she gave the pretty little ballad | ** Baby Mine.” Mr. Fietcher played ‘inelodiously an air from Bille’s ** Falstaff ” | Miss Knight brough: down the honse with | *A pretty Girl Miiking ber Cow,” and her re-appearance was asked for, when she responded with something equaliy as good. sire. W Longworth sang one of Blockley’s gems, ‘Hearts and Homes,” so sweetly as to touch the hearts of all present. In this effert the fair singer succeeded in beating her record, and she was compelled to give another s:lection from her wellstocked rep:rioire, Mr Cant demors:rated that he could sing
