success so great that the existence OF
the Ottoman Empire is threatened.
At the present it appears likely that
the whole Of Europe may become
embroiled in the struggle. since
England is assuming u firm and
threatening attitude.
Outside of the contest i'll the last
the chief event in Europe during the
wear has been the struggle for con-
stitutionaI liberty in France. In
May last Marshal MacMahon sudden
ly dismissed his minister's, called on
the Duke de Broglie to form an ultra
conservative Cabinet, and made a
determined effort to upset repubh-
can institutions. The Chamber voted
want of confidence in the new advi-
sers of the President by a majority
of two hundred and ten. A dissolu-
ton followed, and the country sent
back strong majority against the
President. The conduct of the gov
eminent in the meantime was ex-
tremely violent. Gambetta was
prosecuted for utterances that would
be perfectly admissible in any free
country, and the circulation OF all
documents adverse to the Executive
was prohibited. The meeting OF the
new Assembly in October brought
matters to focus. The de Broglie
Ministry resigned, and a temporary
one was constituted. The republi-
can majority was threatened with
another dissolution, and every other
pressure was brought to bear with
out effect. Finally Mcmahon made
an unconditional surrender. and the
greatest constitutional victory OF the
country has been won. The conti-
nent OF Europe has been invaded by
republicanism on large scale, and
OF the most advanced type. The sue
cess of the French Liberals will in
oculate the whole of Central Europe
with a desire to follow their example.
The absorbing incidents together
with the numberless trifies Of life go
to make up the year 1877, which will
make a remarkable page in the his
tary of the world.

he cautiously walked around a few
PAGES from the door, we took the OPP

face. He at once sprang against it
and with his great strength at

short struggle we had it securely
barred, and gave jeering yell as we
came in full possession OF the school

he at once attempted to beat the
door in with fence rail, but we sue

this time we began to feel the pres

from our eyes, but no one dared to
go out and remove the boards. We
could not open any OF the windows

were nearly suffocated. The teacher
had discovered the boards on the
chimney. and now understanding
why the smoke had driven him out,
felt particularly happy that we had
changed places with him. 1t was
now broad daylight and as he paced
around the building grinning with
delight, he would occasionally tell us
to "never mind the smoke or ask US

Barring Out The Teacher.

In a number of the Marshall coun-
ty schools, the old time custom OF
barring out the teacher" 70 make
him treat" was INDUCED in. We re-
member with what glee we engaged
in an enterprise Of this kind twenty
years ago. Being only about fifteen
it was the first time we were en-
trusted with such an important duty,
but we we're promptly on hand at the
rendezvous at three o'clock in the
morning. Proceeding to the school
house we saw that there was light
in it, and on peering into the windows
what was our horror to see that the
teacher was already there. He had
evidently held the fort all night.
What TO do was the next question.
Our strategy was defeated by the
teacher who was evidently on the
lookout for some demonstration. He
was a powerful man with whom We
did not care TO engage in a trial OF
physical strength although there were
four of us. And il would not do TO
give it up, for i'm addition TO the
chargrin OF being outwitted, we were
unwilling to face the score of big
boys who had constituted us the
barring out" committee.
SO we held council of war. For
tunately, we had not made our pres
ence known to the teacher, who was
quietly enjoying the warmth OF the
great fireplace inside, and no doubt
chuckling to himself at being master
OF the situation. So we determined
to scale the roof and stop up the
chimney, so as to smoke him out. II
was a perilous undertaking, for in
addition to being intensity cold
everything was covered with fee, and
il we made any noise in the attempt
everything would be frustrated
