England; and Saturday last, another crazy man
imbued with these fansical principles, was WAITING
for Louis Napoleon at The gates of the Elysee Ma
honal, 10 shoot him with pistol. The name o
the new would-be murderer is George ALFRED
| Walker. He is IL years old, and apprenucec
printer by trade. The report is, that since ter
O'Clock in the morning, this individual had beer
remarked walking on the tottoirs of the Rue
Faubourg St. Honore, waiting for the oppsrtune
moment TO commit his assassination At every
carriage which he saw having the cour of the
Eiysee, Walker crossed the street and came to
examine who was in the vehicle. Colonel Van
drey was the last one whom he examined
| with curiosity. His uniform and mustachios rem
dered him something like the President, and
| Walker cooked pistol which he had under his
| frock coat to commit his murder, when the car
mage suddenly turned, and he prevented from
| using his deadly weapon. AT that moment, one OF
| the policemen who had closely watched the
| whereabouts of the young man. approached him
to make him prisoner. Walker, seeing the con-
| stable, went TO him and said -" You are DO

been waiting for the last four hourso perperate the
deed deed, ! see he is protected by Providence,
taken prisoner, and being searched, they found in
his pocket large pistol loaded with buckshot,
and the discharge of which would have been very
dangerous. During the interrogat the pri-
soner confessed that he had of.en frequented The
socialist clubs and the political reunions of this
goddess of fraternity. Nothing of importance, no
paper, no clue TO that mysterious attempt, was
discovered at the house of the prisoner, who
lives at Rue Chezalini No. 3, with his family
whose members are considered as irreproach bic.
Walker was accounted, by those who knew him,
as man OF desperate character, living with prosti

2lst OF January last, he was taken prisoner for
riotous assault, committed in the Passage Toufroy

with his father and mother, and they have been
hvipg here since then. Young Walker, at an early
uge, deserted his paternal roof and he was scarce
ly ten years old when he was considered, by all
those who knew him, as every bad boy" Such
Is the most important news of the last four DAYS.
II Walker has not been sent by the socialist party
no doubt he has been inspired by its unholy princi.
Pies; and the Internal catechism, from which he
has been taught in the clubs and other assemblies
OF the kind, is the instgator of his attempt against
Louis Napoleon's life. Ii is very possible that
Walker will escape the laws of the country Is it
not curious to see that revolutions such as those
We have in Europe, instead of producing heroes
and great men, are but giving birth to murderers |!
The news from the National Assembly is not of
much interest: AS l informed you on Thursday
last, M. Dupin was reelected Speaker of the
House, and the Vice-Speakers and members of the
SeTefarfaf were; LIST, Messrs Daru, Benoit d Any,
General Bedeau, and Leon Faucher; I'd, Messrs
Anaud de IArdeee, Lacaze, Peupn, Chapot,
HeekeTen, and Berard.
The project of the 90 Law against the Press" is
also the cause OF much debate among men compe-
tent in that matter. Not only the whole partisan
press is opposed TO il, but also the printers and
booksellers, and all the statesmen of a moderate
party. You may remember that such law was
the cause of the fall of Charles X in 1890 that
the consequences OF the " Law of September"
during the reign of Louis Philippe, were also the
cause OF the events of February ID 1913. Ii is to
be hoped that the new project of M. Boroche will
not be also the occasion OF riot and bloodshed in
Paris and through the whole of France. The red
republican socialist party, though very calm in ap-
pearance, are but waiting for pretext to begin
Their war against society. We must not furnish it
To them.
il has been decided, in such a difficult position
as that in which we are, that encampment of
I2,O0O men should be arranged in the neighbor-
hood of Paris. The place chosen for that purpose
is Versailles. Louis Napoleon, accompanied by
General Changarner, General d'Hautpoul, and a
very numerous Etaf major, went, yesterday morn
ing, early, to that city; and after having examined
several spots which were pointed gut TO him, Sc
lected the elaine Satory, an immense square spot,
three miles wide and five miles long, 10 be the
place OF that encsmpment. These 1900 men
will be drilled IN the same manner as those who
are on The ped de gerTs, and their presence, is
hoped, will be much dreaded by all those who are
dreaming Of Instruction and the overturning of
the government.
Whilst soldiers are about to be congregated at
Versailles, the enlistment of our sailors is con-
tnued in our large sesports aud II is rumored that
every large or small man of war of our country is
10 he armed, as IL in a state Of war. What is the
meaning Of all thisl What can be the cause Of
all these preparations
IL is said in the political circles, that a radical
manifestation IL about to take place In fortnight.
A "pleasufe voyage" would be undertaken TO
London by the Partisan socialists, with the inten-
ton vi paying visit 10 Ledru Rolin, and other
exiled members Of the party. After having ac-
complisbed these polite manifestations, the
"Mountaineers," DESTROYS Of giving TO the world
the example Of a cosmopote opagandism and POI
htcal communism, would celebrate with the dele
gates OF ali the other nations the inauguration Of
the Universal Mountain" by sharing a large din
Der. After the ceremony, they would visit the
Exchange, -. Paul, the Tower, nc; and finally,
would return 10 the Opera, TO put themselves in
presence OF the British arisiocrscy and Of the
court .of Engisnd. such Is the programme OF the
next nip Of pleasure to London.
The legiiimist party has been much excited, for
about ten days, on account OF the late news
about The Countess Of Chambord. the wife Of
Henri V. Ii was said that this lady, who n ad
been pronounced by the doctors as unable to have
any children, was just in a very interc sting posi-
ton. You may imagine how glad were all the
members OF the party But, unfortunately, the Ga
sofs dc France, LCaiOu, and other legitmst
journals, have received letters from Trodhorf,
nouncing that this news was false Thus we Ie-
turn TO the Enfens Cordiaie between the two
families Of Bourbon; and this is the best plan
they can follow, 10 return TO their country when
time will come.
Two very important facts have just taken place
in Germany. The dissolution Of both houses in
Wurtemherg, and the defnitive conclusion ~ peace
between Prussia and Denmark. Those two events
are the best proofs that revolution in Germany is
hnished inside end outside. The treaty Of peace
was signed ut Berlin on the let inst, but the
orders came from Warsaw. The pen was held by
the minister "a EOreUu Affaira If Prussia hut n
was directed by M. de Nesselrodc. Before 1913
there were In Germany two large powers by which
the others were somewhat directed, Austria and
Prussia. But now, IL may be said. with reason,
that there is but one power, and that ~ Russia.
AZ Tor the Assembly which was dissolved AZ Stuff
gardt, on the I'd inst, " was composed OF men OF
revolutionary principles, and therefore the king,
who was opposed 10 the views Of these delegates
OF his people, has taken the liberty TO turn them
out by TroTrio rofu. No doubt an insurrection
would have taken place, IL Wuremburg had been
an independent country; but you may know that
