George Sand died on the 7th at Paris.
She was conscious to the last, but unable to
speak for some time before death.
1t is officially announced that report
has been drawn up and signed by nineteen
physiciaEs of the different nalionalitieS,
which ccrtlics that the death of Abdul Aziz
resulted from the opening of the veins and
arteries of his arms.
1t is stated that the Scrvian army
consist of one hundred and twenty-five thou
sand men, besides about ten thousand milf
tia, and that Servia is convinced that war is
moral necessity Correspondents write
stating that "a Servian war against the Turks
is now more certain than anything else in
the world"
TO take a portrait of the mikado of
japan is punishable by compulsory hari-
kari. That's what's the matter with party
of Yankee photographers in Jeddo. They
procured an interview with the milky, and
while some interviewed him the other
"took" him. They quickly found themselves
inside Japanncd "jug," and it is taking all
the American minister's spare time to cX-
plain the affair and save the sons OF photo
from unloading their visccra according to
law.
NJ. Gambetta, as president of the

very quick to help England, if that power
chooses to enter into a contest with Russia,
as England deserted France in the German
onslaught of 1870 The French army Is IN Il
fair condition, if the country is forced into a
war. 1t consist Of: Infantry, 2S2,Oil men;

The list Of unfinished work in the two
houses is formidable, aside from the proba.
blity OF their disagreement AS yet only
two of the twelve appropriation bills have
passed, and on some Of those now in progress
the differences Of opinion between the
houses seem almost irrccOnciUblc. There
are many other bills OF importance also Ger.
tain to cause long debate. The prospect Of
an early adjournment is not bright; and is
likely to be attained, II at all, by forcing

THE Turkish revolution was conspr-
acy of the ministers to get rid OF a sui
tan who had yielded more to foreign in
fluence than the pure and unadultcratcd
mussulmans could quietly allow. 1t is
the mad protest of the conservatism OF
the Mohammedan Turks against Euro
pean reforms and every sort and kind of
foreign Intervention except that which
loans money on promise of interest that
is never to be paid. The new sultan is
antl-Russian in his prcjudices and ten
dencies, and while he can speak French
and has some knowledge of western Eu-
ropean affairs he is moro likely to form a
Franco-English alliance than one in
which Russia has leading voice. But
the situation of Turkey is critical, and

ACCORDING to an exchange, the Pope's
robes are made either of white cloth or
OF red cloth. Plus TX uses five white
cassocks in the course of the year, as,
owing to his being an inveterate snuff
taker, he soon discolors his outer gar
ments. Each cassock costs $50. The
red mantle which he rencws once year
costs 500. The silk stockings are fur
nshed by Belgian house for $40 pair,
but his slippers, which are changed every
month, are furnished by Roman firm.
An ordinary pair, embroidered with the
cross, is worth $2j, but some of the papal
slippers cost as much as 5000, the cross
being inlaid with diamonds. The old,
cast-oF clothing of the Pope is highly
priced by the faithful, who eagerly bay
it at great price.

P. G.. T. Bsauregard.


The Echo, OF Paris, at the end OF re-
cent able review, correcting the essay
on the battle OF Bull Run contained in
the Count of Paris History of our Civil
War, gives the following family sketch
OF General Beauregard! ''Tne illustri-
GUS Louisianian General bears two
names-ToutanE and Beauregard. The
hrst he derives from his maternal an
cestors who, through the person of a
Welsh lord named Tlder, established
themselves in France in the thirteenth
century under Philip the Fair.
Iider had played an important part in
Wales; but, as b result OF the frequ- Mt
feuds of that era, he became the OBJECT
OF persecution on the part OF Edward of
England and was compelled to flee the
realm. In France he married Mile. de
Lafayette, lady OF honor to Nine. Mar
guerite, King Philips sister. Mard, the
eldest of their four children, re-entering
into favor with Edward, changed his
| name OF Tider, which had become odi.
Gus to the English King, to TouCank,
| which later was Galhclz4d by the sub
st1tulion OF for tue final k.
About three centuries later, the last
representative of The Toutant family
married his only child, a daughter, to
the Sieur PaiX de Beauregard-Lne Gem
erals lineal ancestOr-who thenceiorth
took The name of TouLant de Beaure-
gard, now borne by the family, but writ
ten as one name without the de. The
first one Of this family VINO came direct
from France TO Louisiana was Jaques
Toutant de Beauregard, Commod ore
in the royal navy, whom Louis xiv had
sent TO assist the young colony and
bring back material for naval con-
Struction. This officer, knight
OF ST. Louis, finally settled in LouIsi-
ana.
He had three sops, one of whom
Louis, married Miss Ducros, daughter
of distinguished painter, who mad held
important offices in The colony under the
FrCncn and Spanish governments.
Louis had Two sons, one OF whom,
Jacques, married in 1898 the daughter Of
Louisiana planter Of ancient and il
iustriOus extra cLion, Miss Helen judith
ue Reggie, whose grandfather, the CheY-
aller de RegglO-a near kinsm IN to the
relgnlng duke-had obtained from LOUIS
XIV a company, in reward for his be-
haYior AZ the siege OF Berg-op-Z ON, to
Wnlch he had accompanied his friend,
the Duke OF Rlcnelieu, and later was
sent with his command to Louisiana.
From this marriage was born on the
2oth of May, 1918. Pierre Gustave Tou-
tant Beauregard, WHO, as we have seen
descends through his mother from the
dukes Of Modena and Reggie, that is 70
Soy, from the House OF Este.
Well, what of it?l
