THE BONAPARTIST PARTY
Have grown so poor in prospects and ex
pectations that the feeling of fraternity
which bound them SO closely together ha'
suddenly vanished, probably because there
is no more booty to be divided between
them. They held meeting last Sunday
at the Cirque Fernando, when there took
place the most fearful scandal ever imputed
to any political party. During a speech
some one had the audacity to interrupt
when Immediately some ten or twelve com
missioners of the reunion rushed towards
the interrupter, jumping over the benches
and climbing the ratings, and reaching the

pulling him and kicking him, but without

those who witnessed the scene becoming
indignant at its cruelty. Mr.. Marius Mar
tin, well known Bonapartist and member
of the Municipal Council, sent letter tc
the Figaro in which he said that he had
been a witness of scene of savagery suci
as he had never seen before; that one o.
the assistants, Mr.. Pietri, on venturine
some remark of blame, was seized
by ten or twelve demeniac- appear
ing men who kicked him, pounded
him with their fists and beat him with
their canes, while another pinched him tc
make him let go of the railing. The un
fortunate creature, precipitated frcm above

Der of those present cried out that it wa:
a shame, an indignity. As to the com
mittee they looked on the scene without
being in the least moved and without max

such brutality. MIR. Martin said that the
scene disguised him, and that he rushed
to the tribune to beg Mr.. Petit Pierre
presiding at the reunion, to do his duty and
put an end to
THAT REVOLVING SCENE.

than to abuse him and call him names, ant

from speaking to the crowd, and the son o
the President shook his fist in his face Al
last, on seeing the impossibility of coming
to an understanding, Mr.. Martin informed
those present that he was disguised will
what he had seen, and intended to with
draw, and invited all those who were of hi!
opinion to follow him. He started to the
door, followed by about fifty friends, but
when he wished to pass, the Commissioners
barred the passage and were ready to fall
upon him with the same rage they had at
tackled the unfortunate creature in the
hall. His friends surrounded him and en-.
deavored to parry the blows levied at him,
and he got off with two cane strokes on his
head, whose strength was diminished by
his hat. Although he escaped with slight
harm, his friends did not fare 80 well, and
among the number Mr.. Malvesin, who was
fearfully bitten on the arm, and whose
neck and leg were torn. All this among
Bonapartists. 1t must be confessed that

Bonaparte answered them in as cold and
formal manner.as possible, stating that he
knew what they wanted, and they knew
what he would answer them, and that il
