He was native Of Charleston, barber
in early life, subsequently educated in

He was President of the Union Star Fire

was q trial justice, and rising poll

ArsTRAL1A.-Th proposed federation
OF the Australian province seems to be
regarded in tho British Parliament with
something like apathy. A late speech
of Mr.. Duffy's, in the Victoria House
of Representatives, showed the strength,
amounting to certainty of success, in the
movement. It is supported by the ma
jorities in the representative houses in
the six colonies, and by the press in nll
The type of confederation is stated to be
centralizing in its idea, rs that adopted
by the Canadian colonies. 1t is sup
ported by the party opposed to sever
ancc from the English crown, rs we'll us
by those who vehemently urge it, 30
that it would scarcely be reasonable 70
infer that the success of the plan was to
be accepted rs precursor Of an effort to
throw off the authority Of the British
crown.
1t is hardly reasonable to suppose,
however, that this vast island, which in
size approaches the proportions of n
only one-sixth less than that of Europe,
will always remain dependency Of a
government distant half the circumfer-
ence Of the globe. It is not probable
that England has the most remote idea
of retaining Australia in that condition,
nor is it clear that it is her interest to do
so, and perhaps the Indifference on the
subject in Great Britain arises from this
cause. The loss of her American pos
sessions has made the British Empire
richer than she.was before, by the acaui-
sition Of one of the most extensive Gus
toners she has ever had for her produc-
tions. The six Australasian provinces
are believed to have in them the ele.
ments of os rapid development, under
favorable circumstances, as had our own
colonies. The enlightened ambition of
any country might be sufficiently graft
fed by seeing the most powerful nation
OF the earth springing from its loins, it's
language and its laws taking root all
over the globe, and perhaps, what to
commercial Englishmen is best of all,
tributary to its trade.

The first Of these on record was in the
year 53 b. O., when Latetin, then con-
fined to an island in the Seine, was
attacked by the Roman Consul Labienus,
and the inhabitants, aban ioning the de-.
fence Of the town, burned their houses
ind retired to the 'neighboring hills,
where they were finally, vanGnisLcd hy

In A. d. 4G3, Childeric I, son of
Meroveno, drove out the Romans, after
IN obstinate siege. ). i !; +.
$40 the city was taken and>pillnged
by tue Normans, enticed there by the
riches of the capital.
In S56 they again attacked Paris,
which was burned by its inhabitants.
Five years later there was another in
cursion by the freekooters. who, how
ever, found nothing worth taking.
After this the Parisians decided upon
fortifyiny their town, but before the
walls were completed 10000 Normans
encamped before them. The citizens,
however, defended themselves manfully
for more than q year, and the invaders
were about to raise the siege, when
Charles the First hoisted q white flag
and capitulated, signing disgraceful
peace, which cost him his throne.
In 1858 the Dauphin laid siege to the
town, but was unsuccessful, as was the
King of England in 1859.
In 1920 the English took Paris by as
sault, and held it for sixteen years.
During this time it was attacked, in 1927,
by Charles VII, who was repulsed by
the garrison.
In 1482 the Duke of Burgundy ravaged
the country up to the very walls.
In 1864 the Count Of Charolais invested
the city and was defeated in several as
raults. Alike unsuccessful was the army
of Charles Win 1886. :?
Under Henry III and Henry " the
city sustained ON ever-memorable siege,
capitulating, however, to the soldier OF
Navarro, after he had abjured Protest
antism.
Lastly, in 1914, it was given up after
o brief but gallant defence to the allies.
Then, as in every preceding instance,
treason had much to do with the sur
render OF the capital; and this treason
seems to have been confined exclusively
to the middle and upper classes, who
contended with each other for the honor
of paying court and homage to the con-
querors. The papers of 1914 tell of the
gallantry of the workmen and students
at the Barriere de Clichy, and of their
sad silence as the foreigners marched in
triumph through the streets; but they
also tell how ribbons and flowers were
showered down upon them in the wealthy
quarters of the town, and how the wo-
men ran forward to kiss the hussars and
Cossacks.

Chancellor in these words: .'He repeated
several times, 'Strasburg is the KEY to
the house; I must have it. then asked
him to be more explicit. 1t is useless, ,

not give them up in the negotiations.

ed, we would never accept them. We
could, stated, perish rs a nation, but
we would not suffer dishonor; besides,
tho country alone was competent to de-

At subsequent interview, Bismarck
demanded, as conditions of an armisticc,
the occupation of Strasbnrg, of Tout and
of Pfalsburg; and as to the demand of
the previous evening, that the Assembly
should meet at Paris, he desired in that
case to have added fort commanding
the city-that of Mont Valerian. He
also demanded the surrender of Stras-
