cold, the Saltwater Gazette man was also
invited, in his mind he says:
We wish next time governor Pillsbury
or his successor gives reception he would
send our invitation over by red-headed
boy with one suspender, rather than trust
to the uncertainties of the mail. We were
all ready, calculating to go as much as
could be, only waiting for that invitation.

The row in California over the Chinese

An Old street,

1t is pleasant to learn, after the topsy-turvy
game to which Paris has been subjected in
the past thirty years, that at least one old
street, the Rue de fArbre, In the midst of the
capital, and in the most magnificently trans
formed quarter, remains intact with it's
venerable mansions and traditions OF the
seventeenth century. On this site during
1900 years strange and terrible scenes have
been enacted. At the point where the Rue de
Rlvol cuts it, Brunehaut, Queen Of France,
was, at the age OF &c. torn asunder by horses
in 1912. In 1905 great outbreak took place
on the same spot because the Cure OF st.
German L PAuxerrois refused to perform the
funeral service OF merchants wife until he
had ascertained whether she had left any
money to the church. At the epoch of the
Fronde this street was the scene of frequent
outbreaks. 1t was there that Cardinal De
Retz, passing through it one evening in 1648
was threatened by a roaster brandishinp a
long spit. The Cardinal had not the widest
idea who his enemy was, but had the gumn-
ton to say, "Nillain, il your poor father could
only see you nowp' when the fellow. irnapin-
ing that he was friend of his family. i'm.

hand side and abutting on the Rue de ST

by It's curious locksmithing and sculptured
balcony, lived Trudon, butler to Louis YV.
