reference TO what has become known since
the expulsion from Office of the Grimaudet
de Rochebo Ministry Of the steps taken
to use the army in the suppression of the
constitutional authority of the Chamber of
Deputies and the demand is at once
bold and adroit, because the outrageous at
tempt to use the army in that way will
make it appear only reasonable that the
country should have guarantee in the
character of the corps commanders, and
because it assails in their chosen strong
hold the implacable enemies Of the Re-
public. II must be evident to all who re-
fleet for moment how mems personal con-
victions shape their conceptions Of honor
and duty, that if the men who had actually
taken ''steps to secure order" had pushed
those sinister precautions they would
have found ample sympathy in the larger
number of the men in command Of the Mill
tary departments rs we'll as in the larger
number of division commanders under
them. Men like Ducrot, Douay Bourbaki,

they did not insist upon such security for
the future rs can only be assured by put

An Ideal Chtldren'S Magazine.
Messrs. SCRIBSER l. Co., in 1873, began the
duplication OF ST. NICHOLAS, an Illustrated
Magazine for Girls and Boys, with Mrs Mary
Mapes Dodge as editor. Five years have
passed since the first number was issued,
and the magazine has won the highest posi-
ton. II has a monthly circulation of
OVER 1000 COPIES.
Ii is published simultaneously in London
and New York, and the transatlantic recog
nition is almost as general and hearty as
the American. Although the progress of the
magazine has been a steady advance, it has
not reached its editors ideas of best, because
her ideal continually outruns it, and the
magazine as swiftly follows after. To-day
ST. NICHOLAS stands
ALONE IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS:
The New York Tribune has said of it: ''ST.
NICHOLAS has reached higher platform, and
commands for its service wider resources in
art and letters than any of its predecessors
or contemporaries The London Literary
World says: "There is no magazine for the
young that can be said to equal this choice
production of Scribner's press"
