~ The Gaulois says that the Prince
of Polignac, who commanded Il Confed-
crate brigade during the recent struggle
for Independence, married, . few weeks
ago, Miss Bagneux, of Paris. Immedi-
ately' after the wedding they. left for
Dieppe.
On arriving at the junction Of Daran-
tin, they learned that they would be
compelled to wait few hours before
proceeding to their destination. A train
was to leave for Havre.
''Let Us goto Havre," said the young
princess, and they started.

" The New York San, in an article

presses the conviction that "whatever

driven from the arena by the contempt
of an indignant people. These themes
have long enough absorbed the attention
of the best minds in the country, and
afforded to sly rognes convenient oppor-
tnnities for practising their corrupt and
velal arts.'' The real issue, we are
told, will be honesty in the administra-
tion Of affairs against corruption i'll Office.
