ANGER IN FRANCE.
Everybody Everywhere. Dleenestng the
:time with various nage.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Herald says: --"Anger, impot-
ent anger, is the one passion felt hare
to -day. French pride has received a.
blow which will not easily or soon be
forgotten. It is not the evacuation of
Fashoda that is.resented. It is the foot
of England having insisted upon an
unconditional withdrawal. This is felt
to be a humiliation. Everywhere and
by everybody the news is disoussed
with furious range, yet what else could
France do than recall Major March-
and? There is no statesman here reck-
less enough to emulate Spain and say
she could die. That is all very well
for what Lard Salisbury defined as
'decaying nations, but for one that is
in the full plentitude of her vigour
it would be an absurdity. Most peo-
ple approve the Government's action,
while storming against the condition
of affairs here that makes any other
impossible, It was felt that March-
and's suooess, deserved recompense.
Few, if any people, dreamed ha would
stop at Fashoda. Almost all seem to
have expected that I'l'anoe would re-
ceive something valuable territorially
in return for it, and on the principle
that a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush, the nal:ion wanted the
compensation to come before the evac-
uation, :England's unbending attitude
has killed all these hopes, so although
with the disappearance of the risk of
war there hes come a noticeable re-
lief in the public state of mind, there
is also a feeling that: France has been
ill-used and humiliated."

PRACTICAL NOTES.
Verse 0: Manasseh made Judah and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, 11
need not seem enemas that in n 100-
cessful end popular despotism the
king's example should be generally fol-
lowed. liven in our ago fashions lu
clothes, in literature, and in art are
eel by a fete very ordinary melt who
happen to be of royal blood. In anOL-
ant times, and quite as much with the
Hebrews as with any other nation, the
Cturah and the State were one; not
merely related to each other as the
Church of England and the orown of
)England are, but actually one, so that
it was impossible to think et once of
loyalty to one and disloyalty to the
other. in suoh a condition every-
thing depended on the character of
the king, who was the recognized mod-
el of life. Worse than the heathen.
Morally worse, for they sinned against
light and knowledge. The false
deities of the Canaanites were the
holiest conceptions they had, but the
Judahites turned deliberately from the
conception of to true God to idols. Two
men talked together iu a railroad sta-
tion at Buffalo, and were companions
at table. But ono wan west bound
on his way to Chicago, the other east
bound for New York, Similarly,
though the practices of the Jews may
have been very like those of the sur-
rounding heathen, they were traveling
in opposite directions. The heathen
were at lee.st worshiping the bighesi
ideals they knew, and were therefore
looking up; and God's providence al-
ways guides all sincere aspirants into
better knowledge and holier virtue.
But the Jews know a the true God,
and turned away from him, and there-
fore were deliberately descending in
aeoular and moral life.
10. The Lord spoke to Manasseh. By
Hosea, by Joel, by Nahum, by Ha-
bakkuk, and by Isaiah. Psalms 49, 73,
77, and 140 are thought to have been
written at this line. they wouldnot
hearken. To shut the ear against
God's call is to close the door of hope.
Wherefore the Lord brought upon.
There is a sense in which the
statement is true that God does
not pualsh in this life, the na-
tural consequences of wrong-
doing sometimes follow close-
ly the misdeeds. Sin and sorrows are
fastened together like a locomotive and
a train of oars. The captains of the
host of the king of Assyria. The king
of Assyria was .Esar-haddon, who as-
cended the throne at Satinac:herih's as-
sessination. Ho was one of the great-
est of Assyrian monarchs. After con-
solidating bis own government he has-
tened westward to reduce the subju-
gated provinces which had asserted
their freedom. Tartan was the name
of his chief general. Took Manasseh
among the theme. An attaok on Jer-
uaalem captured many of its citizens,
inoluding Manasseh, A hook or ring
was fastened in his nose, much as
rings are fastened now in rho nose
of bulls. This wits the extreme indig-
nity to which the king could be sub-
jected. The translation "thorns" is
not now accepted by scholars. Bound
him with fetters. Loaded him with
oh.ains. Carried him to Babylon. Here
19 one of aloes startling evidences of
the accuracy of Bible history which
so often delight the student. A few
chapters earlier we are told that Man-
asseh's father had formed an alliance
with Babylon to protect himself
against the advances of Assyria. The
Aasyriai kings ordinarily lived in Nin-
eveh, and it was long believed to be
an error in the oopying that gave us
th@word Babylon here; for bow could
a king be taken to Babylon when he
bad just been captured by Babylon's
enemy? It sounded almost as strange-
ly as if one said that an American gen-
eral' had captured a Spanish general
in the Philippinesandbrought him to
President McKinley at Madrid. But it
is now known that Eaar-haddon actu-
ally reigned at Babylon for thia'teen
years, the ouly Assyrian king that ever
dwelt there. Bricks frons his pafaee,
bearing his name, have recently been
found. With the removal of Manas-
seh to Babylon the independence of
Judah ceased, and thenceforth it was
a territory of the Assyrian empire.
12. This verse pathel'.ically shows
the moral uses of adversity.
"Afflictions, though they seem severe
In moray oft are sent;
They stopped the prodigal's career
And caused him to repent'."
18. He was entreated of hire. God
listened to Manasseh, and answered
his prayer; and from his forgiveness
and restoration we are to read mes-
sages of peaoe to us. Just as divine
grace is personified in Jesus Christ so
sin and suffering and penitence and
forgiveness are personified in Manas-
seh. Brought him again to Jerusalem
into his kingdom. Probably as a pro-
vinoial governor, with the title and
some of the revenues of a king, but
with little power except to administer.
,justice and fortify Jerusalem atoned
Assyrla's enemies. Then Menaassh
knew that the Lord he is God. This
perverse and sodden sinner, apparently
as devilish a man as ever lived, had
been deaf and blind to his father's holy
life, to the teaching of the Leviles and
the ceremonies of the priests, to the
historians and psalmists end prophet*
of the past. 1t was 860011ar overthrow

WHITE WOMEN AMONG SAVAGES,
Two Recently Discovered by 'ernveIIern 1n

A despatch from Vancouver says:—
.. porty of explorers in New Zealand
say that while travelling in the wilds
of the colmty, where white men seldom
penetrate, and where the natives
know no law but that of their own
marking they discovered two white wo-
men about 40 years old, ciotbed like
savage Maoris, in extremely scanty at-
tire. They spent a week endeavouring
to induce the women to return, but
they had become so accustomed to•life
among savages that they refused the
aid of the explorers. They said they
had been stolen when y'ouug women,
had taken Distort husbands, and had
grown to like their untrammelled ex -
:steams., and were fond of their black
husbands.
They were fairly wo'r'shipped by the
natives, and said they would not' ex-
change their lot for that of society
belles iu an Australian city. They
were ouoe ingli.h college girls of
good families. They refused to give
their maiden names, but were known
among tbeir nadopted people as "The
Chief's White Plume " and "Sunshine

CHINESE AFFRONT TO RUSSIA.

permission to proceed to Pekin not be-
ing forthcoming, and that there is

big to the capital.
The admiral and M. Pavloff, accord-
ing to these advices, declare that if the
train attempted to leave without the
sailors being on board they would
stand in front of the engine. This,
it is stated, is a forerunner of a pro-
bably affront to Russia.
