The commandment gave what was re-
CURED of him, and Alexandra, hurry
ing away, speedily returned with two
or three of his men, whom he placed
in the court. Opening the window, he
called to them, and babe them inform
the gentleman inside that they were
ready to fire on them ut the first signal !;
an appeal answered by the significant
sound of the cooking guns. The com
mandant understood, and going to his
desk, wrote out formal ORDER
After this, the rest was comparative
! y easy. The magazine was broken
open, carts were procured and loaded,
and about five o'clock they were out
side the town. Dumas was SO exhaust
ed that he sank down upon the grass,
under hedge, and fell fast asleep.
Reused up presently, he started on his
journey, and eight o'clock reached VIII
lers-C otterets, where they found the
supper ready, which had been ordered
the evening before. After a jovial
meal they set out once more, and by
three O'clock in the morning were close
to Paris, at the post-house whence
they had started, AT nine he had
presented himself, With his powder, at
the Hotel de Vile, having triumphant-
ly accomplished the daring exploit he
had undertaken. N
When Alexandra told this adventure,
there was many a shrug Of the shoul-
ders and loud soothing laugh suehsa
romance as this was not thought worth
serious refutation, as coming from so
amusing and notorious gasconader, -
an auncomplimentary appreciation
which he owed to the incurable vanity
which always made him set his own
figure IN the most effective and dra
matte positions But the story is per.
fectly true, abating some harmless lex-
aggeration. 1t isito be found set forth
in a modest official report addressed to.
Lafayette, published by his direction
in the Monteur of August 9, 1880, and
signed by Dumas and the friends who
assisted him i'll the expedition. The
names of the various officers whom he
forced to submit to him are given at
length. When the memories were pub-
lished in 1853, the son of the comman-
dant, LINERS, did, indeed, come for
ward with an indignant reclamation, "
to clear the memory of his father, who
was then dead but his testimony-for
he was actually present at the scene in
the commandments cabinet---only con-
firms Dumas's account. The purport
of the sons letter is merely this that
the town was already ripe for revolt
before Dumas's arrival, and that when
the latter returned with his friends,
these were assumed to be chiefs of the
national guard, already known to be
disafected. In short, that the officer
yielded, not to Dumas, but to an over
powering force behind him. His son
describes Dumas parading his pistols,
and menacing the commandant, but
declares that the presence of the four
officers armed, and intimidated, was
fiction of the novelist. He admits,
however, that he himself and the Sec
rotary, with Madame de Linners, were
present. On the whole, the adventure
may be accepted in all faith, and re,
fleets credit on the great reconteur.

EXTRAORDINARY CUREs.-We have
read many accounts of the extraordi-
nary cures by Dr. WALKERS CALlFoR.
MIA VINEGAR BTTTERs, which have
seemed incredible. We arc inclined to
believe them, as many of those who
vouch for them are persons whose yer.
aclty we can guarantee. The newspa-
pers TEEN with testimonials of this
character, and there is an air of partic-
ularity and of truth about them which
cannot be resisted. One manifest SUI
periority the VINEGAR BIrTERs posses
ses over other Alternative and Tonic
preparations. 1t contains none of the
burning fluids with which most adver-
tised Bitters are lmpregnated. 1t can
not create Fever. Instead of clouding
the brain, it clears it if clouded. 1t is
well known that Alcohol, even of the
purest description, weakens and I'M
tones thes,stOmach instead of bracing it,
and is, therefore, poison in cases of
Indigestion. Fancy, then, what must
be the effect of the cheap FEre-wdter
employed in making ordinary Bitters
and Tinctures, on the weakened and
inflamed digestive organs. VINEGAR
BITTERs, on the other hand, soothes
the stomach. while it increases the APP
petite and relaxes the bowels. DIR.
Walker is a regular physician, and his
remedies have just as much authority
as any standard remedies of the facul,
ty. We believe they are destined to
become a household medicine. Com

Mr.. John Il. Dererelr-MY DEAR SIR:
have the honor aud extreme pleasure of pre-

on behalf of the building committee and con-
gregatlon of this church: We desire to con-
vey 10 you our appreciation of your character
in a form that will enable you to transmit to
vonr children the high esteem In which we
hold Won. The trust conflded In you has been
nobly redeemed. The architect OF the new
church, you have also been the contractor,
with no superintendent save your own honor,
and we are here to prove how untaltering
and vigilant that sentinel has been. During
five years of close business relation with you,
on your part the most hIgh-toned, and. in
deed, sensitive regard for the interest OF the
church. Too much cannot be said on this
subject, In view OF the times In which we live,

sign for your new church, made necessary by
your increasing numbers. Five years fraught
with so many changes to nations and tndlvldu-
ais, OF sadness and Joy, OF life and OF death,
have found no change In our friendship, ex-
cept by most pleasant association In cement
TEEN which first brought us together. If
there is shadow of regret in my heart to-day
It is that our connections are about 10 be
severed, our labors together having drawn to
close. Mr.. Chairman, no man In this city
appreciated the peculiar position I occupied
before you more keeDly than myseh. Ere
sented to you at the very Threshold OF my
professional career, had not only to over
come your natural prejudice 10 my youth and
inexperience, hut also to satisfy you OF my re-
sponsIbility and financial skill to handle 80
vast work. Ia ancient times, When honest
purpose was not considered weakness, the
architect, who was then the principal work
man-for the very name is derived from the
Greek s'arkitektos"-was an office OF hign
trust, and when faithfully filed was rewarded
BY high public honors; but with the advance
OF so-caled civilization, it became neces.
sary to throw around the interest OF
the owner additional safeguards. Ihe
but mere designer and superintendent,
whose duty In great measure consisted in
seeing that the chief workman did his duty.
We read that in Venice the law made the
architect responsible Tor the cost of the build
ing, deeming it an offence If The cost exceed
ed the estimate, because the solvency Of the
proprietor was endangered by the incapacity
or cupldity of his architect, and hence the
statute to punish the one aud protect the
other. great writer, I think Neskln, has
said that no man can be great architect un-
less he Is also o great builder, nor can
builder be great unless he ls a good architect.
because the ability to Construct skilfnlly, and
IN nlot no auch construction with the beautiful
in design, must always go hand In hand when
great results are 10 be achieved. In my hum
Bile way have labored to Initiate my ancient
predecessors, and my great ambition has been
TO approach, as near as my capacity would
admit, their idea of an architect.
