THE MARsE1LLA1sE.-The words and
music Of the "Marseilaise' have been at
tributed to certain Rouget de Lille. He
is said to have been born 10 1850, and to
have been the son Of . lawyer. v In April,
1892, so runs the story, just after. the
French had declared war against the Aus
trians, De Lille happened to be in garri-
son at strasburg. The mayor ofthe town
invited him to dinner. The converse ton
chanced on military matters, and De Lille,
who was known to have turn for music
and poetry, was asked to compose some.
th ng suitable for the political occasion.
D. Lille, excit d by the dinner, and COM
plimented by The demand, took his fiddle,
as soon as he reached his quarters, and pro-
dneed what Ulbach calls ''the eternal poe m
of the great apogee Of the Revolution" 1t
was originally known as the "Hymne des
MarseiIaise." Like Ko,ner's sword song.
it was Immediately learned by heart by
everybody. Also, like Korner's sword
song, or like Jonah's gourd, it grew up, as
We see, iu single night. Not to sing it
was disgrace; to be ignorant Of it was a.
most crime.

The EMPERoR's DANGER.-Of the first
attempt to assassinate Emperor William,
Berlin letter writer says-of the effect
upon the people, and its cause:
while the escape of the emperor does
not lessen the indignation of the people, it
renders them camer and better able to
appreciate the significance of the incident,
and the result is feeling Of serious un-
easiness and anxiety The event opens
out vision of possibilities which had
hardly been considered, and which are
appalling. have never known Berlin SO
grave, and even depressed as at this
abrupt and startling summons to prepare
for unseen and terrible dangers, to resist
a foe whom want, hatred and sentiment
can apparently drive to the point Of des-
peration. 1t does not seem to be believed
that Hode! had accomplices. or that any
general plot existed. His act was appa
rentIy his own, but the socialist papers
found on his person, bis known connection
with Social Democrats at Leipsic, and the
style of his seif-justitication before the
officers, leave little doubt that he is the
product Of revolutionary sophism, work
ing upon mind full of sentiment and
vanity"

RUrTEK OR GREASE.

Oleomargarine appears to have already
become amazingly popular. Very large
quantities of it, we are informed. are sold
in this city and it is said that 25,0Oo
pounds of it arei daily sold in New York
It is a wonderfully geod imnitation OF
butter, and is made with great care as to
cleanliness and the character Of the mater
ial used. Though nothing can be accepted
a. a substitute for good butter, this article
is probably better than poor butter, which
is one of the poorest things in the world
That olcomargarine is destined to be very
extensively used as butter and for cooking
purposes there can be no doubt, and that
its extensive use will reduce the price Of
genuine butter is certain. 1t may have
the affect also to induce those farmers who
make poor butter to. produce better ar
ticle. On the whole, therefore, the inven
ton of o]eomargarine may prove public
benefit; but as for US, give us:real butter OF
