good man has also been this sad occasion lost
to the army of France. 1t was our fortune to have
been personally acquainted with General Negrer
before he assumed the command of the province
of Constantine IN lS4I, and after his return to
France in 1916, and seldom have we known in any
amy more general or universal favOrlte. To
use the words of Sir Philip Sydney, he had &c a
high soul seated In heart OF courtesy" and he
was loved, revered, and respected by those who
shared with HIM soldiers tent and a soldiers

the most arduous post in this rebellion was con-

to Cavaignac, deserves well of the friends of order,
it is Duyivier. In raising either Cavaignac, Du-
vlvier, Bedeau, paraguay, d'Hilliers, or Bacheu,
to the post OF President of the Republic, the Ma

One of our contemporaries, who is profoundly
