-"L.a commune de ParIs.''
BY REV. N. cYR.


find that few of the readers OF the
HERALD understand these words, and
therefore I take my pen to show what they
represent. a-se asa
Z The term "Commune" was first applied
to revolutionary committee, which grew
out of the insurrection of July 14th, 1889,
and which superseded the City Council of
Paris. The Commune was first presided
over by Mayor Pethiou, and held it's
meetings at the Hotel de Vile (City HalI
1t was, however, regularly constituted
only on the 21st of May, 1901. At that
time it was divided into forty-eight sec.
lions; it appointed Mayor and sixteen
administrators, established municipal
council of thirty-two members, and q
general council of Dinety-six "notables,"
presided over by enc attorney OF the Com
mune and two substitutes.
For long time, managed by the most
fiery demagogues, among whom Robes
pierre stands prominent, it waged war
with the Convention "a legislative assem-
bly that governed France from 1892 to
1885. The Commune found the Conven-
ton too moderate, armed against it the
people of the suburbs, and maintained
constant instruction. The death OF
Robespierre in 1794, caused the fall OF the
Commune, after which Paris was divided
into twelve distinct municipalities to pre-
vent the concentration of such form1d
able power, and these municipalities have
been increased to twenty with the en-
largement of Paris, and are known under
the name of ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
The insurgents in Paris now are trying
to revive that form of government, and
although they may not be as bad as theil
predecessors, are not likely to establish
anything permanent.
The misfortune of France is to be di.
vided into Ave political parties, neither Of
which has the majority. Under such cir
cumstances the Republicans of all shades
should unite, as will all friends of consti
tutional government, and then they could
secure order and liberty under Repub
lie or limited monarch. But the "Reds'
are the ''irreconcilables.' and they mus
rule or die; they are more likely to have
the latter lot.
I may remark that it is to the fact tina
France has these five parties, much more
than to the character of the people, tha
are to be attributed the unhappy revolu
tions through which that country hal
passed, and now the moderate Republi
cans will have to unite with the Orlean
lists in order to restore order and found 6
strong government. They may use the
Count of Paris as seare-crow, Chat il
about the only thing that kings are gooe
for,) and under him restore order Other
wise the cid legitimists will be likely tt
win the day, and call the Count of Cham
bord, the monarch by Divine right; unde
whom poor France would be deprived o
many of her human rights. As for Ma
poleon he has neither part nor lot il
this matter" now.

Diving Rich,

The ship Britannia was wrecked off the
coast Of Brazil, and had on board large
consignment of Spanish dollars. In the
hope of saving some Of them, a humber
of barrels were brought on deck, but the
vessel went to pieces and the only hope
for life was by taking at once to the
boats.
The last boat was about to push of
when young mid-shipman went back TO
see if any one was still on board. To his
surprise there sat man on deck with a
Ratchet in his hand, with which be had
broken open several of the casks, the con-
tents of which LIE was now heapiDg about
him.

and the man was left to his fate

a Man Covered UP Forty Feet Deep
in a Weil-He Scratches Out.

The following which we extract from
the Plattsburg (Mo.) Register, was a
most perilous affair:
a singular and tragical affair occurred
at Poplar Grove. Grundy county. Miss
ouri, gu the 7th inst. A Mr.. John And
rcws, a popular and we'll to do farmer il
the neighborhood, had dug a wei some
forty feet deep and had walled it up about
fifteen feet, when it vas discovered that
the we'll was about to cave in. MIR. An
drews gathered up an armful of short
boards and wen. down a pole ladder
fastened to the side of the we'll, to lay
them across the well, SO as to prevent
the dirt. as 1t fell. from filing up that
part of the well walled up. He had mol
more than reached the bottom as it was
thought before the we'll caved in, filing
it up to few feet ofthe top. The alarm,
was given, aud the neighbors gathered
but as all believed him dead they returned
to their homes to make arrangements &c
come the next day and dig him out Mrs
Andrews and two grown daughters, and
several small children, refused to leave
the spot, but sat on log near the well
crying until late in the evening when all
at once they saw Mr. Andrews emerging
from the well, covered with clay, and
coming toward them
The children al ran screaming to the
house, bolted the doors and fastened the
windows, believing it to be their fathers
ghost. Bat Mrs. Andrews ran 10 meet
him, screaming at the top Of her voice,
Oh, John! GA John! is that you? i.
that your When she reached him she
fell fainting at his feet.
1t seems that when he got to the bottom
of the well, he looked up and saw the top
giving way, and believing he had not
time to make his escape. slipped under
the boards which be had laid across tile
well, when the whole thing fell in upon
him. al hope at first gave way, aud
he was about to let himself drop into the
water below, and end at once his miser-
able feelings. But feeling above, he
found the clay easily crumbled, aud hope
revived.
Tho pole ladder as it see ms, was standing
and getting hold of it with one hand, he
w,nt to work with the other scratching
away for dear life, The dirt filling into
the water below as he dragged his body
slowly upward 1t seems he did not suffer
much in breathing, as fresh air came
down the pole, around which the dirt
was loosely packed. Ia the incredibly
short time of seven hours, he scratched
a hole some forty fees long through which
he made his escape. This is one Of the
narrowest hair breadth escapes from
horrible death on record

TEMPTED BY DrGREEs.-John New on
says Satan seldom comes to Christian
with great temptations. or with tempta
ton to commit great sin. You bring
candle and green log together, and
they are very safe neighbors but bring
few shaviags and set them alight,i and
then bring few sticks and let them take
FIRE. and the log be in the midst of them,
and you will soon get rid of your log.
And SO it is with little sins. You will be
startled with the idea of committing
great sins, and so the devil brings you u
little temptation, ard leaves YOU to in
dulge yourself. There is no great harm
in this; no great peril in that; and so by
these little chips we are first easily light
ed up, aud at last the green log is burned.
Watch and pray that ye enter not into
temptation.
