SCENE THE LAsT-A VICTORIA SING SONG.

SCENE THE LAsT-A VICTORIA SING SONG.
| We have just time before we are turned out to
| peep for moment into the Victoria camp. They
are hard at 1t as usual. No matter what attrac-
tlors are "on" elsewhere whether the Moray
Mnstrels are wsrbliDg in the civil service tent or
some wretched band of amateurs is playing in
the theater, there will ever be "order for har.
mony" among the Victorias, who send round
steamiDg pannikins Of hot grog, and welcome the
weird. ..... .r = i. -.--'- :
The Victoria camp is the headquarters of min
strelsy, from which camp songs proceed hot from
the press and the brains of their prolific authors
here Is wsged battle of the bards, at which
many volunteer and non-volunteer Tannhau users
put IN an appearance. Here are warbled old and
isvorite ditiies. always welcome, and here new
versions and impromptu verses are grated on old
stocks.
American songs-started in the late war-seem
most popular here, and the various versions of
Johnny comes marching home again - John
Browns body lies Wondering in the grave"
" For few days." and so on, are given with
great effect. A retentive Victorian volunteer,
who met some Americans in China, and primed
himself with their songs, has given us, through
this years Wimbledon, a street song which will
be as popular as any of the admirable tunes with
which the late war made us familiar:
Come end be soldier
Come and be soidisTi shoulder arms,
When the war ever.
nun you De asOdlert shoulder arms ~
But this is the chorus, which is shouted out with
magnificent effect:
Look out dere-Im gwine to shoot
AtAnd clear Don't ye understand
Babylon is fallen Babylon Is faleni
And we're gvine to occupy the land"
And so one might go on ell night, for there is
no lack OF able and willing singers in the Victoria
camp. But there goes the gun We must be of,
LOT the lights will be out directly, and Lord Col.
vile Will be going the "grand rounds,r and lock
Us all up in the Windmill II we are not all off,
How shall we get back to town! that Is the
question. The ramshackle csbdrivers are getting
extortonate as the night wears on, and there Is
more and more danger of our missing the train,
which 1t seems very probable we shall do.
LOOK at the moon say, you fellows! let Us
walk! Agreed; and so we walk, singing the
:, Ark at the top of our voices, and waking up
the steady shooting volunteers who have turned In
hours ago.
But stay Are we walking through land OF
weird spirits Gustave Dore should be here with
bis sketch book. What are they. Look over
there and on all sides-how can you account for
hose weird and ghostly shadows!
Listen the awful ghost on the bell-tent is re.
presented by volunteer pulling his shirt yer his
head. Whisper low the warriors are disrobing,
Goodnight!

EDUCATION IN FRANCE.-According to reports
sent TO the French government by the projects of
the departments, 293. PA conscripts have been
called for in lS6s Out Of these CO. 266 can neither
read nor write 1919 can only read; 2I9Os7 can
both read and write no Information was gathered
as to 6sO2. A. NJ Manner is busy tracing a series
OF maps. of which five published, showing by
scale OF colors the various degrees of instruc-
ton in certain portions Of the country. The high.
est degree Of education Is indicated by yellow.
and total ignorance by black, the intermediate
tints being green, red and violet. One of the
sheets comprises the whole of Europe, and,
strange to say France occupies only the thirteenth
rank as regards public instruction. Saxouy,
Switzerland, the small States of Northern Ger.
many, Denmark, Prussia. Sweden, Baden, wur.
temberg, Holland. Norway, Bavaria and even Ice
land are more advanced in com fsrson than we
are. They are all tinted yellow. England, France
snd Belgium, tinted orange, belong to the second
class Italy. Austria and Greece, tinted red, form
the third. Lastly, huge black patches cover the
Papsl States, Spain, Portugal, Moldavia aud Wal
lachia. Russia and Turkey. The series Ia not yet
complete. II Is curious to observe how public
instruction has fuctuated in some places. For in.
stance, one department. being first in rank in
ls66, was only sixth in 1861 fifth In ls5l and ninth
IN 1881. The reverse occurs for others; the
Seine, for instance. after having been fourth in
1881, declined to fourteenth In 1866.

p>sih OF My.ter,ou. Character In Par,
A Paris correspondent says /:

A sphinx of Paris has disappeared from our
eyes. The Persian, who was q living point of in
terrogation which continually reused our curiosity
has disappeared almost as mysteriously as be
came. His servant entered his chamber the other
morning and found him dead. There was no pre-
monitory symptom death was heralded by no
physician, no bolus, no jslep tits wonted van
courers), He died OF congestion of the brain
the doctor might have said of weight of years,
for he was eighty.three. He lived for the last
twenty years in the Hotel Wagram, In the Roe de
Rivoli. He could not have chosen q better resi-
dence wherever the sun shone he was sure to
have the best part of its rays. The Tuileries
garden was under his window. The hotel supplied
his meals in his room, and spared him all trouble
OF housekeeping, even including the engagement
and discharge Of servants. His life must have
been the Orientals beau ideal of happiness

cannot tell you II believe nobody in Paris knows)
how he spent his mornings, at O'Clock his
broushsm would take him to the Bots de Boulogne,
where be would drive till O'Clock in summer, till
dark In winter. He would dine, and after dinner
go TO the Italian or Grand Opera, or if neither was
open. TO the Opera Comique. He spent every
6ght at some opera house-every night
Except Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
every theater in Paris Is closed. He had his seat
at each Of these opera houses but he subscribed to
none of them, and bothered himself with no ticket
He would hold out handful of gold, which the
tcketseller would take, count. and enter on his
book. When II was nearly exhausted he would
notify the Persian. who would hold out second
handful to him. He never spoke to human being
IN the theater; paid no attention to the actresses
(women seemed to have no charms for him) or to
the audience, but would sit, should say, like a
statue, had not bis face been rippled occasionally
with something like q smile when the music par.
ticularly pleased him. Between the acts he would
take an ice, eating with golden spoon he carried
IN his pocket, and which, the ice ended, he would
carefully wipe and replace in its morocco case,
Who he was, where he came FROM what freak of
fortune tossed him here SO far away from Asia's
