Phases in the Life of q French AEis

M. Henri Rochefort is the modern man with

q French King be is brought into prominence
only to be withdrawn into darker eeclusion.:
He stood over the body Of Napoleon, and as
another Anthony hanging about the bloody re-
mains Of Cesar, eonjured the people to be long

precincts Of the palace, He stood the embodi-
ment Of French Nemesis in the midst Of the
terrific bombardment Of Paris, and handed to
is colaborers torch after torch to send the infur

very heart OF the metropolis he profesaed to love
with the devotion Of woman.
J. Dehantly reaisting the Versailles Government,
he found himself q prisoner Of ths energetic old
man who had chiefly devoted his life to the
graces Of historic literature. And to-day, . con-
Yicted man, Rochefort is seen no more by the
French people. The prison in which he ra1ni-
mates BY day and sleeps by night is unknown to
cape convict's cell and the swift vengeance Of
tho successful party. The French Government
and the jailor alone know the present habita-
tion OF II, Henri Rochefort.
Meanwhile, whether fate has ordained it for
better or for WORSE discreditable passages in the
life OF the great whilom agitator have come to
light The tale is SO well told that We do not
care to abridge it.

Rochrfort never visited his father and never
sent him any money. There is soma mystery
about the fathers marital relations. It is certain
that Henri Rochefort's mother was pastry

forty~odd years since renowned for her beauty.
