Paris correspondents describe the French Assembly as disciplined and elegant, with Versailles rooms and long triumphs of order. Gambetta is portrayed as Jewish in type with a simple direct style, while media coverage and reader participation shape debate unlike the English Commons.

Huxley on Niagara Cataract and Geological Time Scale
Prof Huxley argues that scientific inference rests on careful facts not imagination. He discusses Niagara Falls carving a six mile valley, with hard rock atop and soft rock beneath, water eroding the base, and estimates long geological timescales possibly around ten thousand years or more. He notes uncertainty in exact rates but underscores vast durations exceeding human lifespans.

The note ends with a mystery line about 12,000 Frenchmen in San Francisco.
