A FRENCH WORKMAN AND Two DUKES.
"One Sunday, in 1857" savs NJ. Maxine
Du Camp in the Reuue de France, ~ was
seated in the Champs EIysees, looking at
she carriages and people passing. Two
workmen were by my eide. A gentleman,
with his servant, passed by on horseback.
One of the workmep exclaimed, Il know
that map-it is the Due de la Rochefnu-
cauld. He's fine fellow I worked for
him once.' The other replied. La Roche.
foucauld! There's a street of that name.
All, yes he's Duke But what's that to
me T. A few seconds after, a carriage,
with q short, thick set gentleman inside,
passed by. Look at that fat fellow said
one of the workmen, he's for all the world
like a cannon ball wrapped in woul.' The
other replied, Hold your noise-it's Mala-
koff, it's Marshal Pelissier!' And the
next second the very man who had dis
dained the Due de Ia Rnchefoucauld was
running by the side of the carriage, wav-
ing his cap, and shouting 'Vive Peiissier
Vive Pelissier! On returning to his seat,
he said to his companions, "Im glad l saw
the old fellow This was as much as say
ing that there was no hope of becoming a
Duke, but with courage and work there
was some hope of becoming a Marshal.
And the next remark of the man bore out
my Interpretation. After ALL said he,
..Ney was only the son of blacksmith
That kind of equality which consists, not
In being, but in the possibility of becoming,
somebody, is rooted in our social manners,
and nothing will overcome it,"

An Empire squandered

ICOl. H. C. Young's Speech at Bolivar, Tenn
When the Republican party first came
into political power, only a little over four
teen years ago, we had national domain
of public land extending all GiupC our
Western border from the Red river of tho
North to the Pacific Ocean, from the Mis-.
| souri,, over the towering mountains and
fertile valleys of Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico and other territories, to the confines
of Western civilization in the State of CAL
ltornia-a territory SO vast in extent and
SO valuable in resources as could have
been made the seat of an empire richer and
greater than any In Europe, extending
through ATTITUDES and having q geographic.
cal location that gave it the sunshine of
almost every climate, and having buried in
its bosom every precious Jewel and valu-
able mineral known to science. 1t could in
time have been made the source of untold
and fabulous wealth to the nation.
But you who have not had occasion to
examine the subject will scarcely believe
mo when tell you to what base uses this
vast source of wealth and natural greatness
has been devoted. To say nothing of the
amount of public lands tnat have been dis.
posed of in a worthy and proper way, given

And where is the public good that has re-

wealth Let my Republican friends answer
the question.
