when 1 suggested to her the expediency Of
withdrawing whilst there was yet time, as
n republican, to aid q sister republic In
driving from her soil an European despot.
Jane and Mary Ann share nv sentiments,
and we are determined to stand by France
to the last What the matron, Jane, and
Mary Ann meant to do to help their sister
republic cannot understand. They have
bought themselves 9 huge American flag,
after the manner of their nation, and they
wear enormous tri-color rosettes- Periodl-

asm. Jane tells me that she has the DIS
positions of Joan OF Arc. Does sne
mean to fight on the ramparts, like the
