The Paris correspondent of a
London paper writes as follWs ;
Among our latest arrivals in Paris
are two persons who deserve to be
mentioned as something quite out
OF the run of ordinary visitors to
the French capital. They are both
centennariane and, what is rarer,
they are husband and wife. Their
names are Monsieur and Madam
baliue. The man is said TO be ITO
years Of age, and the woman 1O5
years. They live in the South, and
have come TO Paris by cheap ex-
cursiOn trim. Monster Ballue is an
old soldier of the French Empire,
and while visiting the ruins of the
Tuileries delighted his wife by
pointing out to her.the spot where
he mounted guard under the Con =
sulate of Bonaparte. Both these
courageous cenlenarians enjoy ex-
cellent nealth. Their eyesignt is
good, their memory almost unfail-
ing, and their legs as strong as can
be expected under such a hea Wy
weight of time.
