certainly did not expect it.
And yet it is the literal and momen-
tons truth. France has more arable so’!
than almost any other country of equa
extent; and it is very generally and la-
boriously though not thoroughly, efficient-
ly cultivated. Naturally fertile, it owes
little to subsequent applications; not
one acre in a thousand is underdrained
or subsoiled; and while England has
bought millions of dollars’ worth of im-
ported fertilizers within the last thirty
years, I am confident half a million
would pay for all the guano, bones, &c.,
imported into France. Throughout this
county you pass miles after miles of
growing grain or vegetables which prom-
ise fair to middling crops; I never yet
observed a French acre that promised a
luxuriant or great one. The rigorous
division ofa decedent’? real estate among
lllS heirs, which a fundamental‘ law “ of
the first Republic decrees, and which no
subsequent Monarchy has dared to re
peal, exerts a salutary influence in miti-
' gating destitution and diminishing beg-
gary, but it does not tend to raise French
Agriculture above the state of mediocri-
ty into which it seems to have been
hopelessly plunged".-A The dying peas-
..gpt’s acre must be ' divjded among his
‘four or five children, wlio'must cultivate
their several pittances with spade and -
‘hoe only; no, fertilizers ‘can be bought-
by the impoverished owners ; no animalsfl
employed; the thin soil, slowly and shal-
lowly turned overby the rude exertion
of human muscle.-alone. is sown, tilled
and harvested-;in the same rude, slow
fashion, and the sheaves borne on hu-
'man shoulders to the distant thrashing-
‘floorj All is clumsy, feeble, ineffective,
and I judge that the gross product
of the rural labor of France is less than
"half a buishelof grain per day. Subtract
from this the enormous aggregate exac-
ted for the support of Government, with
its million functionaries, salaried priests,
andseven hundred thousand jamzaries,
and it is plain that the subsistence of its
nominally freeholding cultivators must
be scanty mdeed. I doubt whether the
peasant laborers ofEng|and, who own no
land at all, but live upon the scanty wa-
ges accorded them by the tenant farmers
are worse lodged and fed than the two
or three millions of rural freeholders in
France who own and cultivate less than
an acre each. It IS mournful to see hill-
sides laboriously tilled from year to year:
when tillage is certain to wash and ex-
haust them; the excuse of their cultiva-
tors being that they own a strip of this
land and no other, and that to lay it
down to grass or wood is to doom them-
selves to idleness and their children to
famine. The division of lands among
their cultivators is a noble, a beneficent
idea; but the division of half -an acre
among half :1 dozen heirs of the late cul-
tivator, now deceased, is not a happy il-
lustration of it. Practically, it is found
that the petty l’l0ldlDgS are split. up while
the large estates are held intact through
‘several generations and even increased.
1 may here mention, by way of illustra-
tion, that the fine estate of Lafayette
(La Grange,) comprising a fine chatau
and 765 acres of good land in the mar-
ket, his son being dead and the property
not well adapted to partition among the
heirs. Were it but an acre or so, each
inheritor would insist on having and hol-
ding his share of it.
France, though rich in silver, is es-
sentially a poor country-that is to say,
the great mass of her people are poor.——
Labor is less effective here than in
America, and is not so well paid for
what it actually accomplishes. There

are millions of Frenchmen who can earn
less than a franc per day when they work

under the Government of the man who
tries to ingratiate himself with the toil-
irgrmillious by dabbling W’ll.l1 the price

ace of Industry at his own cost to the
po‘or,jfbr those recipients of his bounty

fense, and two of them were condemned
to three months’ imprisonment and 16

I The journals have lately noticed a sig-

mass of her people contain only a few
rude and clumsy articles, inferior in cost
and convenience to the.cont.em;s of our
newest log cabins; but she produces al-
so vast quantities of l/Vine, and of this,
though much of the best is exported, a
far larger quantity is consumed on her
own soil. The Poor seldom possess ele-
gant Furniture nor wear costly fabrics;
but few Frenchmen are so poor as not
to drink Wine. The day-laborer, whose
entire subsistence must be eked out of
less than eighty dollars a year in a coun-
try where the cost of food is usually
twice as high as in America, washes
down his dinner. of dry bread with
half a pint of red liquid which has
the smell of weak vinegar and the name
of Wine—*v2"n ordz'na.t're they call it, and
very ordinary I judge it must be. The
work girl living on her hard-earned franc
a day in amiserable Parisian garret, buys
bread and shelter with her wages; while
her youth and comeliuess endure, she
wins clothes and finery, balls and wines,
in another manner, less creditable, and
more ruinous Wine, wine! In the
_Prbviuces, the vine is the leading staple
of Agriculture; in the cities wine is the
-great basis of_commerce. I estimate
that "Marchand dc Vins” is written over
doors of one-forrpfhr of all the places of
trade in Paris ;_f-_é_*I,1ah1'ly, there is no'o_th-
er" sign half sov'c'om'mon as this. I'may
exaggerate in judging that one-fourth of
the cultivated land in France and an
equal proportion of the rural labor are de-
voted to the Vine ; but the proporpion is
so great as to seem incredible in a coun-
try like ours.
Louis Phillippe once replied to a tem-
perance advocate, who had explained to
him the Total Abstinauce movement in
America, that the success of a like
movement in France would ruin the
King-«lom—-tha: both its Industry and its
Commerce were based upon the consump-
tion of Wine. I submit, on the other
hand, that my impartial and keeuly-ob-
serving American friend was rigl1t—that
the Vine is the chief scourge of this fair
land. perpetuating its poverty and deep-
ening its vice. If the drafting away by
Conscription of half the youthful energy
and spirit of France into the Army, there
to waste seven years in nonproductive
uselessness, me a ggneral evil and loss--
as who can doubt it ?—-then the drafting
away of another and larger army from
the production of Food and other sub-
stantial goods to employ them in produ-
cing that \_v'nich maddens many and
strengthens none, must inflict. a still
greater and wfder injury. France needs
In at least seven eights of her homes,
ampler and better Furniture, more sub
stantial and nourishing Food; she might
have these (other things remaining as at
present) were it not for the devotion of
so large a share of her industrial capaci-
ty to the production and distribution of
Wine. Poor and illpaid as her laborers
are; they might be far better fed and
sheltered did they. not expend so large a
share of their earnings for'“tbat. which is
not bread”-—-which stimulates but does
not nourish. If every vine were uproot-
ed to.morrow and every cask emptied
into the ocean, I ‘know that this country
would thenceforth increase in wealth and
comfort with a rapidity hitherto unknown
As to the Temperance of wine-produ-
cing Nations, and of this one in_particu-
lar, a great deal has been boastingly said
which is not half consistent with the
facts. It is true that the people of the
O
the Warmer portions of the-temperate
zone are less addicted to intoxication
than are those of severer ,climate3; than
there is less drunkenness in Sicily than
in Scotland—in Lyons or Rome than in
Moscow or Edinburgh. It is likewise
true that the milder and more natural
stimulants, like wine or beer, do not in.
toxicate or madden soreadily not so com-
monlv as do the fiery products of distil-
lation. But ma: Wine will imoxicate,
does intoxicate, that there are confirmed
drunkards in Paris and throughout
France-—is also notorious and undenia-
ble. You can hardly open a French
newspaper that does not contain some
account of a robbery perpetrated upon
some person stupefied by over-drinking,
a police case growing out of a quarrel
over the wine cup—or a culprit, when
asked to say why the sentence of the
law should not be pronounced on him,
replying, "I was drunk when this hap-
pened, and know nothing of the matter.”,
That journeymen are quite commonly
less fitted for and less inclined to Work
on Monday than on any other days of
the week. is as notorious here as it ever
was in any rum-drinking city. That
the French character, male and female,
would stand higher in the general esti-
mation if Wine Were unknown here, is
very plain to all who look through un-
colored glasses. And that the love of
Wine often ripens here into a fierce thirst
for more fiery potations is as certain as
that cider drinkers ever become rum
drinkers in New England. In two or
three thronged Parisian localities, flashy
grog-shops have recently been opened,
under the general designation of “Amer-
ican Buffet,’-’ where mint juleps, sherry
cobblers, and such like delectable com-
pounds, are dispensed at a franc per tum-
bler; and I am- assured that thousands
of Frenchmen, no longer satisfied with
the milder stimulants to which they have
been accustomed from childhood, are
here ripening into habits which their
‘wine drinkin friends cannot re ard'
g
without alarm. I need hardly add that
the distillation of brandy is an ancient
and important pursuit in France, and
that the beet-crop of last year was ex-
tcnsivelyidiverted from sugar making to
the production of spirits.
With all deference therefore for those
~well meaning Temperance men who
think an abundance of good wine in our
own country the proper antidote to Llle
prevalence of iutempcrancc there, I am
compelled to dissent ITIOSL decidedly from
their proposition. I do nor. admit that
intoxication is the only not the chief evil
to be guarded against; I believe that all
alcoholic stimulants are pernicious and
injurious if imbibed, except as any pois-
on may be—-by the diseased under the
prescription of a skillful and thoroughly
temperate physician. Were it certain
that no man should evermore-become in-
toxicated, I should still regard it as :1
grievous mistake to drink-——-a ruinous er-
ror to perpetuate the production and use
of alcoholic beverages. These do not
injure merely by intoxicating. nor those
only whom they intoxicate—-they under-
mine the health and shorten the days of
thousands who never were drunk in their
lives. '
Champions of Temperance in Ameri-
ca, and especially in New York! be en-
treated to listen to no compromise, to be
satisfied with no success short of the com-
plete interdiction of the traffic in Intoxi-
cation Drinks.‘ Better struggle twenty
years longer than to be lulled into mac-
tivity by a delusive and baseless triumph.
Under the most rigid interdiction there
will always be drinking enough, just as
other vices flourish in spite of the laws
which resist tl1em——_just as crimes are
committed in spite of the penalties which
are denounced against them——-but we
must triumph at last if we do not ruin
our cause by compromise. We can be
beaten only a cry that, while we deny
the poor man his grog, we allow the
rich man his wine; and this we must
preclude at all events. Our most ardu-
ous lnbor is achieved, for the Majority
is now with us; the Law has declared
for us; and we have now to meet only
the dying flurries of the Liquor Traffic
and the sophistical quibbles of its well-
feed attorneys. These will of course do
all that money can buy or ingenuity sug-
.gest; but there is an end to the longest
rope, and theirs will all he paid out with
in the next two or three years at furthest
Revolutions go not backward, and where
Gambling and Lotteries now are, there
—-under the immovable and potent ban
of the Law-—the LlqllOf Traffic is and
shall remain. Grudge not, then, the ef-
forts needed ro render our triumph per-
fect and immutable. H; G.

PARIS AND THE EXI-IIBITION.
PARIS, June 7th, 1855.
At length we have Summer-—blaziug,
scorching Summer-—-a sudden jump from
March to July. The heat of the last
two days has been fierce, though a fire
was quite a comfort for at least half the
days of last week.
Of course Paris is gayer. Tue Em-
peror has :1 little King or two dancing
attendance on his levees and has been
giving a grand review in their honor.—-
(You know It was :1 weakness of the
real Napoleon to like to be surrounded
in default of bigger, by little Kings.)-
Then the recent nevs from the Crimea
is rriorb favoruble—-the Allied Fleets
having undisputedly swept the Sea of
Azolf, burnt large stores intended for
the Russian Army, and at last indicated
a mode in which the Crimea may possi-
bly" bu mastered and Sevastopol taken-——
"by cutting off the supplies of the Bus-
sians, and starving out both garrison
and relieving army. The success of the
Allied Fleets—though nobody supposes
that it entirely beams in and isolates the
Russian forces in the Crimea—makes it.
hard to guess why what has now been
done was not done long before, either
last Fall or earlier in the Spring. I
the Russians have for nine months been
-quietly provisioning their forces in the
Crimea mainly by the route now so ea-
sily broken up, where have been the
eyes of the Allies ’:‘
I still believe that the rulers of both
France and ‘England are anxious first for
success and next for peace, and for suc-
cess mainly to enable them to make
peace without personal‘ ruin. The
chief objects of the‘ war have been al-
ready attained, for Louis Napoleon has

visited Victoria at VVindeor and been re-
ceived as an equal, while a return visit
from Victoria is promised, and Palmers-
ton has attained the long coveted Pre-
miership. They are not blood thirsty
men, they cannot afford to have the
power of Russia really broken, and to
get cm: of the war without being thrown
out of their places, is what. they now
aim at. ‘With a little more success they
may make the venture. The idea of
fettering Russia and preserving the
Turkish stayiu Europe by stipulations
and protocols, limiting the number of
ships of war Russia may henceforth
keep in the Euxine is absurd. Do not
the Vienna conferees remember that
Poland was made a kingdom and Cra-
cow a republic by the treaties of 1815,
and that England is still a party to those
treaties which solemnly bound all the
great Powers to exclude by force, if
needed, the family of Bonaparte forever
from the throne of France’? Poland
and Hungary restored might keep the
Russians for another century from Con-
stantinople; Palmerston and protocols
——no matter how many or how strong-—
will not. _
Spain seems still to be advancing
slowly and fitfully, but surely to consti-
tutional liberty. The Reactiouary or-
gans here are full of smothered jeremi-
ads over the progress of the peaceful
Revolution. Were the Eastern War
ended, I believe a French Army, in the
interest of Despotism and Darkness
would be on their way to Madrid before
October.
The Wallachians suffer terribly from
the exactions and outrages of their Aus-
trian protectors A few more such will
complete their ruin.
The Great. Exhibition is at length
nearly completed-——anot.her week will
place it where it should have been when
first opened to the public. The main
Palace is becoming more beautiful and
effective than I had hoped ever to see it
but the crowding of the aisle with high
structures mars the general effect. It
has great faults, but as a display simply
of tasteful and elegant manufactures,
the world has not before seen its equal.
And stillitisday by day improving.—-
The Annexe (department of Machinery
and Raw Materials) is still in the egv.
The Fine Arts Exhibition issubstantial-
ly complete, and Iam surprised that it
attracts far fewer VlSll.0l‘S than the more
miscellaneous Palace. The explanation
probably is that while the latter fronts
the great Avenue Champs Elysees, on
which everybody passes, the other stands
aloof from any grand thoroughfare.—-
Harl our Palace stood on lower Broad-
\v-ay, it could not have been unsuccess-
ful.
The American Department in the
main Exhibition still conspicuously dis-
graces the flag under which it is to be
displayed. I cannot learn that it is any-
body’.-3 fault so much as every one's mis-
fortune.
The attendance for the last few days
(since the price of admission was redn-
ced) has been good, but not enough to‘
indicate that the enterprise will pay.-—
\Ve are probably looking at the last of
the great VVorld’s Exhibitions, for ten
_vears at least.
Col. Delafield and party of United
States Officers having been plumply re-
fused permission to visit the French
camp if they are to proceed thence into
the Russian, have left for some other
point-—-I believe for Cronstadt——afLer a
long tarry here. The French and Eng-
lish do not regard our people as sympa-
thiziug with thorn very strongly, and in
this I guess they are rigdt. Hence they
lavish no cournesies on our officers.--
Col. D. was cold here that he might
visit the French camp after, but not be-
I
I
l
fore he had been in the Russian. I pre-
sume he will try to profit by this per-
mission, such as it is. H. G.
