Aid for the American Freedmen.

The meeting organized by the Association of
French ladies for sending help to the freed
people OF America, took place, as announced
in the Sale Herr. The chair was occupied by
M. Labordaye, who, in an eloquent opening ad-
dress gave a short sketch of the formation of the
Society. He spoke of the French ladies as in
cited to take the initiative in some work by the
example OF their sisters in England and America,
and Judging from the result, he thought their
debit was not unsuccessful. After alluding to
the perfectly unsectarian character of the asso.
ciation, he mentioned that since its formation
in April last, ten cases, containing five thousand
three hundred and orty-two articles of clothing,
valued at 29,969 francs, and 27466 francs in
money, had been sent by the committee, making
in all 1886 francs. Among the other speakers
were the Rev. M. Grandpierre, and the Rev. NJ.
Dhembres, pastors of the Reformed Church OF
France; Prince de Brogie, and M. Cochin. The
last-named gentleman gave a most interesting
account of the progress Of emancloation in Cuba.
The sale of the tickets and the collection at the
close of the meeting amounted to nearly three
thousand francs

The Paris correspondent of the London Times
gives a minute account of the circumstances
under which Napoleon despatched Salleard on
his special mission to Mexico. He was hurried
to the palace, when the Emperor said he wished
him to set out without delay for Mexico, with a
message from him to Macmillan, that he (Na-
poleon) considered that he had fulfilled all the
obligations imposed on him, and the time had
now arrived when Maximilian must depend on
his own resources, without help from the French
army.
Salleard asked for credentials, but the Empe
ror observed that there was no necessity for any
documents. All he had to do was simply to re-
present to Macmillan the conversation he had
just had, and that would suffice. He recon-
mended Salleard, moreover, to lose no time in
setting out for Mexico, and to depart by the first
steamer.

A Sketch of Mr.. McKenna,s Antecedents


Mr. Benjamin P. McKenna was born in San
tiago, Chilli in the year 1881. In his earliest
youth he took an active part in the politics OF
his country, and figured as one OF the warmest
and most ardent partsans OF advanced liberal
ideas. Not content with simply verbal repre-
sentation of his political principles he identified
himself with them, at later date, as a soldier
in the revolution inaugurated in Chilli in 1851.
In, this movement he reached the rank OF
Colonel. Previous to this, no wever, he was
twice compelled to consent to a temporary ban
ishment from his native land on political
grounds.
Of a naturally remarkably energetic and la
borious character he took care chat the time he
was obliged to spend in these periods OF compul-
sorry exile was not wasted. He improved the
term of his banshments in study, and in visiting
Europe, the United States, ana the other counc
tries on this continent. He devoted himself
especially to a careful examination into the his
tory and institutions of the various countries OF
the world, and the working OF the several forms
OF government at present existing.
Mr.. McKenna has greatly distinguished him
self as writer, both by the number and the
merit of his literary efforts. Up to the present
time he has composed and published fourteen OF
fifteen Volumes all of considerable value, and,
In addition to this, has made constant contribu'
tions TO the periodical literature OF his country
He is by profession lawyer, and has practised
with some success. Mr.. McKenna now occupies
the position of Secretary to the Chllian Chamber
of Deputies, of which the Secretary is always
and necessarily member.
He is described by those who have been most
familiar with him since his late arrival 10 the
United States as man of extraordinary energy
and activity; one who will spare no time tC
compass the success of any measure to which hC
nav commit himself He entertains decided
bias in favor of American IDEAS whether in
politics or in social and domestic matters, and il
sincere disciple OF the go-ahead principle.a
HIS ARRIVAL IN THIS COUNTRY.
Mr. McKenna came to this country last No
yember He brought with him influential letters
ofintroduction, and at once obtained an entrancl
into the higher circles of New York society. HI
became a member of the Travellers Club, X
which be was introduced by u. @ Squler, Esq.
OF this city. Soon after his arrival he took par
in the opening Of the Mexican Joan agency, q
