The MAHSEILLAISE IN PARIS Talk
ing of reforms reminds me that the Aus.
trian band has succeeded in cffacting a
mighty one in the martial music pt France.
For the last sixteen years the Pari-ians
have had no other patriotic air than
"Parant pour |, Syrie," but the other
evening, at the Cirque de rImpcratrice, +"
the demand for "La Marseillai.c' was 50
pressing, so violent, that the Austrian
band, yielding to the shricks of the peo.
pie, struck up that splcndld. that most
warlike of tunes, the melody of which
went ringing through the house IA Il
spirii,movins strain, with all its bursts of
rich harmony and its mournful wailings
Truly,ihe enthusiasm Of the public WAS
ind,scribable. Thousands of people were
there exuliing in the harmony Of that
long-suppressed song beating time to its
rhythm, and shutting in their full heart
ednss ot admiration. ! understand now
why the present Government breads al
lowing this popular and military air TO
be played and sung in the streets of Paris
or to the towns of France. The effect
of i; is most stirring and irresistible. |
understand also why in the Crimca. as
well rs in Italy, why at MaIakuff, as
well rs at Solterino; why on the barri
cades, os we'll ms ON the battle field. this
national tune, this exciting ditty, produced
such exultalion among the combutanis.
OF all national so-gs. of all marching
AIRS, none has more maddening effect
than 'Ea AIarseillas !" none is more ap
propriate'to awake ideas of slaughter, Of
vengeance. of abres clashing, bullets
flying, hoiscmen charging, and standards
waving. And this may perhaps explain
why most of the papers Of The Oppos,.
tion ow express the hope That the French
authorities, having allowed the Austrian
band TO play that patriotic tune, the same
favor will he granted TO all musicians in
this country.

SAVING DRowN,NG Persons AT
this season of the year, when bathing is
the fashion. AMI when there are So many
instances Of persons drowning, few sen
sibc ideas in regard TO what ought TO be
done ut dangerous tiT cs may save many
lives. Persons WIN swim and frequent
the water ought TO have some good plan
of procedure impressed on their minds,
so that, in ,se Of acrilcnt, ii might be
of service. We give the following hints,
which are taken from work On the art
Of swimming:- -
''lf YOU have any distance TO swim,
the wiscst plan would be to undrcss,
Which car be done in a few seconds.
You have then more of freedom of limb,
aud can rush through the water with
speed and alacrity. And if the druwning
person should succeed in dutclins you,
your Chances of freeing yourself, being
naked, are innumcrablc, compared with
what they would have been had You been
hanpere viii, your wet clothing. When
you approach The drowning person, watch
d ,lige' ty for an opportunity, aud seize
him by the arm below the shoulder.
You will, in this position, he enabled TO
keep hlm at arms length before you, and
exercise more perfect control over his and
your own movements. Ills face being
from you, the temptation to grapple you
is removed, and you have more facility
TO make the shore or more convenient
place of landing. Never attempt TO seize
drowning person by the hair of the
head. There Is great danger to be app
rehcnded in so doing, for the arms are
at liberty, AMI you are liable to be caught
in II death grip at any moment"
The CorRSE OF JUSTICE IN Texas
In one of the toughest counties ii the
state. where men. both white and black,
had been murdered, freedman was
murdered by two white desperadocs, and
the matter referred To nm officer who be-
licved in results. lie started for the
scene himself lie arrived in his ambu
lance, stopped Mt the places of two or three
leading men, and asked it they would
like 10 see negro sheriff ard five hundred
negro deputies ON duty IN that county, AMI
paid by the county! OF course they sail
''no." Then" he said, ''there Is hut
one way of avoiding it. Take these two
men" "We cant do il unless you will
issue nm order empowering us TO kill them
il they resist" "All right" said he
'NIo is this Mr. --f' "IIo keeps
hounds, aud used to hunt negroes and
con.crpis. Give him the order and we
will obey it, The order was given.
Sixty men turned out as Deputies To the
old slave bunler. The criminals were
tracked fifty or sixty miles, overtaken,
and when the officer returned from the
next county, he saw his deputy digging n
couple of graves. Tho county has been
aS quiet as n Quaker meeting over since.
