a HiatorIcaI Incident.

during the memorable Ihree
DAYS Revolution in France, in
1881, if our recollection is not at
fault, which drove out Charles x.
and set up Louis PHILIPPE as Citizen
King, the following incident was
reported as having occurred:
Fighting had been progressing in
Paris a greater part Of the first day
between the government troops and
the people, with alternating success.
Toward evening a large body Of
armed citizens was seen approach
ing one of the principal squares of
the city where a regiment of the
line had been stationed with orders
to hold it at all extremities. AS
the reyolutionists neared the obiec-
tive point, with the tri-color at their
head and singing the Marseillaise
Hymn, the Colonel in command Of
the Kings regiment advanced his
front ranks and in a clear, ringing
voice gave the usual words, Snake
| Ready!" which were promptly
obeyed but when "Take Aim F"
| following the muzzle Of every mus
Iet was i~nstinctively turned upon
the officer, while the soldiers who
held them cooll5 awaited the order
to "Firew which, Of course, was
not given. The Colonel, surprised.
into rage, Immediately broke his
sword, tore the marks Of rank from
his person and retired, when the
entire regiment threw down its
arms and fraternized with the peo-
pie.
Onr noble President at Washing
ton, and his creatures, who seem to
think that the Federal soldier is a
mere machine, to be welded solely
for the oppression Of the people and
the humiliation of the rights Of
the citizen, may some day, not far
distant, find themselves in a pre-
dicament similar to that related oil

instrumentalitie trainedf for another
direction, turned against their own
person.
