police with their prisoner hurried along to the other

would long debate with policeman, so the gaze was
opened and there stood yoture that had been nade
ready, into which the captors and then victim en-
tered and drove rapidly off to the prison.
Meanwhile the news quietly reached the hall that
Rochefort was taken. and created great excite-
ment. Mr.. Flourens whom you may remember rs
the one who disputed with Rochefort about taxing
the body of Victor Nor to Paris, had now no one to
dispute his right of initiative and he took 1t boldly
in way for which | greatly fear he will suffer Sc
verelv. Drawing pistol, he exclaimed :" / declare
the revolution begun" and discharged it in the air
The Commissonaire of Police declaring the meeting
dissolved. the crowd became furious, and began to
maui and hustle that supernumerary He was IN
danger of his life when Flourens Selling him by the
collar and presenting his pistol to his heart told him
he was dead man if he spoke. He then exchanged his
pistol for sword, which he drew from sword-cane,
and waving il about his head, drew the whole crowd
after him into the street. Strangely enough, there
was no force visible either of sodiery or OF police
there being even fewer of these last than is ordinary,
and no ATTEMPT was made even to disturb flourens'
who still holding the commsSalre, marched along
the street in the midst of the mob filling the ar
with shouts and cries for vengeance Inc hoh-ap-
pearance of the military seemed to inspire theii
with about equal hope and fear and In spite OF the
noise and seeming fury there was want OF tha'
deep emotion and unity of feeling that hlled them
on the day of Victor Nor's funeral. If Rocheiort
were different man. and if Flourens had been dii
ferent man-two deadly IFS" you see-the issue Oh
that night would have also been vastly Inherent
Twould be long to tell all the events
of the night, and as they have thus lar

Fourens with them disappeared from the scene. The
truth is that for any eectua movement Oh thls sorV
if indeed any such movement be any longer
practicable in Pars-two things are wanting arIlS
and exnerienced leaders. The revoutionlsts have
neither and beside the intellect of the Republican
body is wholly opposed to the old-fashioned meth

and establishing the future Republic on the same

and they have the sense to that in question oil

body of the people to sacrifice something for liberty
But they do not think 1t worth while to sacrihce
anything.
