We find the following instance of heroism in the
Paris correspondence of the New York Tribune. II
occurred during the last session of the Chamber OF
Deputies
1T at the close of the speech of NJ Lamartine
that the Duchess dOreans seeing that there was no
hope for her, turned to withdraw but this was 10
longer facile. The Duchess was separated from her
children, and the children from each other. A work
man broke the sword of the Due de Nemours in his
face;and in blouse seized the Comte deFaris by
the threat rs if to strangle him. but was thrown off
bya young National Guardsman, Alfred Mary, who,
placing himself between the child and the mob
whose guns were eveed at him-told them TO fire if
they would, but they must take his life first Then,
hurrying the Compte through side door, he eaped
from The window to the pavement. A friend handed
down the child, and Mary ran with him in his arms
to the Hotel des lnvades, outstrpping the carriage
which brought the Duchess asld her other child to the
same place. The heroic conduct of Mary touched
the heart of the royal uniorunates, and the Due de
Nemours, taking off one of his epaulettes, gave it
him as souvenir of the day, and taken between

LAND MONOPOLY. 1t is a great curse to the
Western Reserve that thousands upon thousands of
acres of the best land are held by nonresident
hobs who got them for almost nothing, and now ask
two prices for them. These lands have been en-
HANGED in value by contiguous settlements and i'm
provements, as roads, meeting-houses, school
houses, and good neighbOrhoods, at the same time
that they have stood directly in the way Of i'm
provement II is safe to say that all other impede
ments met with in the settlement of this country
have not equalled that of lands belonging TO nom
residents. Francis Granger is one of these land
monopolists, and when he was pleading the cause
Of the South here the other day. we could not help
but think that he and his family had injured this
community more than all the generations of Gran
gers to come after them could repair if they should
be useful working men, which is not likely.
Francis Granger is an aristOcrat-a landed aristo-
Graf, and he has been made so by land monopoly.
But for that he would have been working-man
and useful according to his gifts = that is to say,
moderately so. Other aristocrats have been made
in the same way, and thousands more will be made
unless speedy stop is put to this monopoly of
Gods free earth. Had the principle of Land Lin
itation been made effective at the time of the adop-
ton of the Federal Constitution, who does not see
that ii would have resulted in unmistakabe bless
ings to our country! The purse-proud, useless
arisocrats, who have subsisted, and do subsist
upon the toll and enterprise of Free LaboTers,
would themselves have been useful working mem
bers of society The thousands of acres of wilder
ness, of which our own country furnishes an ex-
ample, would have been converted into pleasant
homes for Freemen. Yea, the cause of free, pure,
and high-reaching Democracy would have been
greatly benefited thereby Who doubts the pro-
priety-nay, the necessity-of Land Limitation
If any. then they are those who hope. TO build up
fortunes by Specializing in Soil which is only known
to them by the descriptions in their title deeds,
those who having eyes see not, and having ability
for Judging judge not. This question is TO be
agitated to an extent little dreamed of by land
spectators and monopolsts, and it will result in
the triumph Of limitation. Our country at large
demands this result and the interests of every in
dividual, except our landed lords, demand it also.
We go for it first, last and forever. - Cleveland
