The CHAIRMAN congratulated all-three -competitors on
the fact of having thus early obtained distinction, and he
trusted it was only the prelude to future distinctions in
the course of their lives. The subject to which their
studies had been directed was the history of Louis XIV.
There were many useful lessons in that extraordinary his-
tory. In no other history, perhaps was to be found a
more striking illustration of the evil consequences of the
bad government of the people. The evil effects of a de-
mocratic government were bad enough, but in the history
they had before them they had the effects of a despotic
government, which were certainly not less evil and de-
structive to the welfare of a country than a democracy.
They saw from that history what a despotic monarch could
do when not controlled. The reign of Louis XIV. was a
remarkable career ; it showed despotism in its worst form.
He trusted it would teach them to value our own form of
government, which was neither despotic nor democratic,
but a government in which they would recognize the ROBBERY BY A SERVANT MAID.—A pretty looking
