A STORY OF MARSHAL b.
ZAINE

A French provincial paper has just
published curious story of the pa
ternity of Marshal Bazaine. which
hitherto has been secret. as at the
time Of his celebrated trial it was said
that he himself was ignorant of his
own origin. 1t now appears that his
father was the son of jOurneyman
tailor, and beanie aprivate soldier in
the army of the first Napoleon. He
soon rose from the ranks and dis
played very great abilities. At the
time of the treaty of TilSit the Gar
of Russia was imbued with an intense
admiration for Napoleon. and for ev-
erything French. He accordingly
asked for three officers to be sent to
st. Petersburg and assist him in the
organization of his army. Napoleon
of course consented, and BaZaine was
selected among the three. Soon after
his arrival he fell in love with beau
tiful girl, Mdlle. Sevenof. They
were married, and might have lived
happily ever afterward, but, unfOtu-
nately, a French woman appeared
upon the scene, and asserted her
rights as the legitimate wife and the
mother Of his three children, whom
he had left in France. He induced
her to return, but the story became
known, and the Russian lady at once
left him, but seems to have retained
her affection for the man who had so
cruelty deceived her. The Gar
heard the tale, but BaZaine' s services
were just then too valuable to be lost,
and he accordingly directed money to
be sent to France for the support of
the family. In process of time all
three officers returned. Nine. Ba-
Zaine and one of the children died.
Nine. SevenOf afterward resided in
France, and there again met her old
lover, but refused to be married a
second time. He showed her his two
mOtherlesS children, and begged to be
allowed to place them under her
charge, and she consented. One of
them grew up to become the Marshal
BaZaine.

PRACTICAL ESowLEDGE.

Those parents who believe that
they have done ali they can for
their sons by giving them a liberal
school education, make one of the
most distressing mistakes that af-
hicts modern society and business
circles. No class of young men III
city or country is so deserving of
pity as those who have q good edu-
cation, good morals, but no practi i
Cal knowledge of the SoliI business
affairs of life. They are deserving
of pity because til V are really de.
serving of a better position in lfe
than their capabilities Will warrant,
and because they are not blame
for Icing untitled for responsible
positions. Thousands OF well edu-
Gated young men walk the streets Of
the cities, even in the flush Of pros
porous times, who do not earn their
livelihood. and go seeking day after
day such positions as they believe
their talents demand, and meet with
disappointment at every turn. 1t is
a noteworthy fact that nearly, if
not quite, ali of the great, good and
substantial business men of our
country have come up from boy
hood familiar with the use Of the
axe, plow, forge or plane and
they are not now, nor have they
ever been ashamed to own that their
hands have been hardened with toll.
Labor is a great gift it is promot-
er of health, and hence Of happiness
and pI osperity. No young man is
without the means of success who is
willing to work. Let him secure
an education adapted to the practic-
al affairs of life and with his habits
of industry and perseverance, sue
cess will be certain, no matter how
many obstacles may have beset his
early career. 40 EAA ts%
