MONTGOMERY, September 29.-The
grandest demonstration ever knowu in
Alabama occurred to-day, in honor of
Gen. Clnntou. His body, in state at the
capitol, was visited by over 10,000. The
Methodist Episcopal Church, whore the
funeral was preached, was lilied, and the
square around was packed with people.
Tho procession to the cemetery was ovei
two miles long. It is estimated that the
crape on stores, public buildings and
private residences would make a line ten
miles long. The grief is great, aud men
and women freely shed tears. The
colored population vied in their demon?
stration of respect to the great Demo?
cratic loader of Alabama. Large contri?
butions have already been made to raise
funds to invest for tho family. Every
business house is closed.
In Paris and its suburbs eighty-eight
per cont, of the births nre outside of
wedlock and are illegitimate. Marriage
appears to be a decidedly "played out"
institution, for only oue person in 127
now marries in all Frunce. There aro
00 m para ti ve ly so few marriages that wo
dou't wonder there are no absolute di?
vorces granted. Separation decrees only
are allowed. Small ns ure tho marriages,
it is estimated' that ono out of every
fifty ends in a separation of the parties.
Of. the state of immorality and crime
which is suggested by these statistical
fuels, it is unnecessary to speuk. What?
ever may bo the cause or causes that
have produced them, they betoken a
great deoay of those elements that aro
vital to tho maintenance of States, if
not, indeed, to tho existence aud repro?
duction of the species. Already the po?
pulation of France is stationary, or in?
creasing nt so small a figure as to bo
hardly perceptible. No nation can en?
duro that destroys that which must be
at the basis of all society, viz: marriage.
A pauper from tho cradle to tho grave
