LA MARsEILLAIsK The following brief his
tory of this world-renowned national anthem
will be interesting:
The history of this song, now heard in France
no more, now crushed down in the hearts Of
the French people and made to give way to
Partant pour la Syrte, is not without history.
1t was composed, both words and music, by
young royalist officer of artillery, Rouget de
Lisle by name He was stationed at Strasburg
at the time when France was heavinfwith the
throes Of revolution. He was known through
out the country as favorite Of the muses. of
poetry and song The winter of 1872 was one
Of scarcity in Strasburg, and at the table Of q
poor acquaintance, Deitrick who could set but
little food before his guest, DeLisle always
found at least a bottle Of generous wine. 1t
was on an evening of this gloomy season of
want and turmoil, when Deitrick and De Lisle
were warming themselves with the old "Faler-
main, that the former proposed to the latter
that he should produce zone of those hymns
which convey to the souls Of the people the
enthusiasm which suggested it." De Lisle
repaired at midnight to his lodgings, and there
on his clavicord, now composing the air before
the words and now the words before the air,
in sort of frenzy struck off hymn, (which
says distinguished French writer, "seems a
recovered .,bo of Thermopyla-it was heroism
| sung" Overcome at length and exhausted he
fell asleep, and it was not until the next day
that he wrote out the hymn and presented it
to his friend Deitrick The hymn of the
country was found. Alas! it proved the re-
QUEEN to poor Deitrick. He went to the scaf.
fold to its notes, within year. It few from
city to city At the opening and closing Of
the clubs in Marseilles. it was sung. and hence
its name. De Lise himself, prescribed as a
royalist, heard that song when fleeing for
safety from his country, and what he had
created IN q m Of ont nsio nd
incentive to freedom, became the death cry of
the revolutionsts and stirred the blood of des.
perate men to the most fearful deeds of tyr.
amy and terror.

nation of Col. Fremont. So the friends Of
Mr.. Justice Mclean must stir their stumps,
for those who oppose his election, as the Re-
publican presidential candidate, are gentle
men who are not content to remain in any
party unless they are allowed to dictate its
policy, and to help themselves to the first
choice of the good things. The Blairs, Ben
