A Communist Heroine.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Daily Telegraph writes: "A woman named
Gaiiaud has been tried before the French
courtmarIal, charged with having received
knowing them to be stolen, certain eccle
siastical vessels belonging to the Church of
St. Marcel, commonly known as the Chapel
Brea. II the facts adduced on the trial be
true this woman must have been endowed
with remarkable energy and have played
an important part in the acts and deeds OF
the Commune. Her house was said to have
been the habitual resort of the federal
chiefs of the quarter and the scene OF
indescribable orgies. The place being
searched, magnificent ivory crucifi1 and
various objects used in the celebration OF
mass were found, all OF which were sworn
to by the priest of the Church OF st. Mare
celo In her defense she urged that she had
bought and paid for the articles in question
at q regular auctions and thas she was
ignorant of their origin After a very fa-
vorable summing up by the government
comnissa,y she was acquitted
