the not unlavorable for the execution Of tho

1851 shall be considered year Of campaign and thss
all officers and prvates called upon to suppress the out

Apropos Of the approaching fete upon the Champ do
Mars country journal makes the following remark;
"Ths date of the 10th of May suggests somewhat
curious reflection. On the Goth of December lsi5 Ar
mand Marrast in the name of the National Assembly,
proclaimed citizen Louis Napoleon Bonaparte President
Of the French Republic from that present day to the
second Sunday in May 1882 SO. upon Monday, the i0h
of May Louis Napoleon appeared inevitably condemned
to return private life Now Is precisely on this day
that the grand military ceremony s TO take place the
brliancy and the solemnity of which seem, In many
persons eyes, to promise still another conservation Of
his power" The coincidence is certainly striking, and
remarkably 90 when ID Is remembered that Armand
Nmrast who limited the Presidents term to certain
ixed period, himself died some few weeks before The
lease expired.
And waile speaking of Marrast let mention thae
the few personal effects he has left behind him, hs
scanty furniture and few relics of his once PROUD
position are to be sold at auction TO pay the expenses
of his last Illness and of his inerment Thus perish ell
the unworthy SANDERS that poisoned the few closing
years Of the staunch republicans life.
