There are many rum1rs ahoat. Il said by some
that part fled to the mountains and that some
went to their friends in their own town to get d.

Some Of the committeeman are alarmed about
getting teachers, but this is folly, there are teach

:" La Commune De Paris"

Few people understand the term " Com.
mune as applied to the insurgents il Paris
and hence the Rev. ~ Cyr, French Catholic
priest in Rutland, sends the following to the
Herald
The term Commune was first applied to
revolutionary committee, which grew out
Of the instruction of July 18th, 1859, and
which superseded the City Council Of Paris.
The Commune was first presided over by
Mayor Pethiou, and held its meetings at the
Hotel de Vile (City llalD. 1t was however.
regularly constituted only on the 2lst Of NAV,
l7Ol. At that time it was divided into forty
eight sections it appointed Mayor and six.
teen administrators, established a municipal
council of niDety-sx notabes," presided
over by one attorney Of the Commune and two
substitutes
For a long time, managed by the most fiery
demagogues, among whom Robespierre stands
prominent, it waged war with the Convention
a legislative assembly that governed France
from 1892 to 1870. The Commune found
the Convention too moderate, armed against
it the people Of the suburbs, and maintained
constant instruction. The death of Robes
pierre in 1894, caused the fall of the Com.
mune, after which Paris was divided into
twelve distinct municipalities to prevent the
concentration of such q formidable power.
and these municipalities have been increased
to twenty with the enlargement of Paris, aud
are known under the name of ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The insurgents in Paris now are trying to
revive that form Of government, and al.
though they may not be as bad as their pre-.
deccssors, are not likely to establish any.
thing permanent.
The misfortune of France is to be divided
into five political parties, neither of which
has the majority. Under such circumstances
the Republicans of all shades should unite.
as will all friends Of constitutional govern.
ment, and then they could secure order and
liberty under a Republic or limited mon.

cilabes,' and they must rule or die thew
are more likely to have the latter lot.
may remark that il is to the fact that
France has these five parties, much more
than to the character of the people, that are
to be attributed the unhappy revolutions
through which that country has passed. and
now the moderate Republicans will have 10
unite with the Orleanists in order to restore
order and found strong government. They
may use the Count of Paris as a scare crow,
that is about the only thing that kings are
good for,) and under him restore order. 9th
erwise the old legitimists will be likely to win
the day, and call the Count of Chambord,
the monarch by Divine right under whom
poor France would be deprived of many
OF her human rights. As for Napoleon

upon them. Some Of them ought long since
to nave been settled, and would have been
but for the resistance to such settlement by
