Another absurdity which has not been attended to as yet is, that most of the almanacks, even that which is prefixed to Mr. _Rabaut's_ Account of the Revolution, contains against every day in the year, the name of some saint or other, male or female; some of them martyrs, and others not, others archangels, angels, arch-bishops, bishops, popes, and virgins, to the number of twenty-four, and of these, four were martyrs into the bargain; and this at a time when churches are selling by auction and pulling down, when the convents are turned into barracks, when there is neither monk nor nun to be seen in the kingdom, nor yet any _Abbe_, and when no priest dares appear in any sacerdotal garment, or even with any thing which might mark him as an ecclesiastic. It must however be acknowledged, that the saints have lost all their credit in France, and of course so have the _Bienheureux_, or _Blessed_. In order to arrive at saint-hood, the candidate must first have died _en odeur de Saintete_, which, were it not too ludicrous, might be translated _smelling of holiness_; he was then created a _Bienheureux_, and after he had been dead a century, the pope might canonize him if he pleased; after which he, the saint, might work miracles if he could, or let it alone. France formerly contained eighteen arch-bishopricks, and one hundred and thirteen bishopricks; the _Arch ones_ are all abolished, and likewise forty-seven of the others; there are, however, plenty remaining, no less than seventy-three, which includes seven new ones, and one in _Corsica_. The churches in Paris are not much frequented on the week days, at present; I found a few old women on their knees in some of them, hearing mass; and, at the same time, at the other end of one of these churches commissaries were sitting and entering the names of volunteers for the army. The iron rails in the churches which part the choir from the nave, and also those which encompass chapels and tombs, are all ordered to be converted into heads for pikes. On Sundays, before the 19th of August, the churches were still resorted to, but by no means crowded; I know not whether this be the case now. All the _jours de fete_, holidays, are very judiciously abolished, and likewise _les jours gras, et maigres_, (Flesh and meagre days.) All shops are allowed to be open, and every trade carried on on Sundays, notwithstanding which, few are open excepting those where provisions are sold; the inhabitants choosing to have one day's relaxation in seven, to take a little fresh air, and to appear well dressed.
