Baron Won Beust has been severely ridiculed for
the regulations issued in regard TO the speakers
who will deliver addresses to the Vienna Schuet-
zenfest. In order that they may Keep within pro.
per bounds and abstain from inveighng against
Bismarck, an officer is TO stand close to the speak
ers ano admonish them as soon as their words
seem TO become Objectionable. II these hints are
not needed loud warning Is to be given and II
that is disr egarded like wise, the officer is to signal
TO the drummers, who are at once TO strike up
roll and thereby drown the voice OF the offending
speaker. In all probability Baron Won Beust was
utterly ignorant of this ridiculous order, which
looks very much like the production OF police

sion that the party Of action is secretly working
throughout Italy. In the first place. Menotti and

significant point is, that movement has been
recently set on foot TO organize mutual relief or
benefit societies among the Garibaldians.
In defending the Electeur, Favre's aud Henon's
Democratic paper, before the sixth chamber OF
the Seine tribunal, NJ. Picard, the we'll known
opposition member Of the corps legislatif used
language which created q great sensation. He

article incrimnated by the government is perfec ly

TO find the accused in these prosecutions guilty

this court is no longer an imperial court? II were
in your place, must confess, l could not look
forward TO such contingency without very
serious alarm; for the very men on whom you
now infict such draconic sentences may 10 that
event be instructed with the helm Of government.
and they m eht have good memories % This bold
language startled the whole audience so much
that the most profound silence prevailed in the
courtroom. The presiding judge tried to reprove
Picard, bnt, juasmuch as the latter Is q member

walk in Paris, and suddenly found himself behind
