to demand the reward OF his long, hard SER
vice. He simply withdrew to private life,
content that what he had so earnestly and
couragcously struggled for had been
achieved. Through many of his recent
failures and misfortunes his young, faithful
wife had followed him with her children
Sometimes she shared his captivity; but
when she could not do so, she was
always near him, ready to comfort
and succor him. The late George
Sand took the deepest interest in Nine.
Baune. She invited her on certain even
ing to visit her. When madame entered
her apartments she expected to have a
pleasant talk with her gifted friend alone.
To her surprise and confusion, she found an
assembly Of the most distinguished persons
of the time. She was about to retire, when
George Sand drew her to the center Of the
company and SAID to it, "You waste in.
cense on one unworthy, if you really admire
genius, here it is at my side-the genius OF
tenderness and devotion" And SO speak
ing, she bent over and kissed the hand Of
the blushing wife, very shy in manner, de-
spite the courage of her great and loving
heart.

The true pronunciation Of our state is re-

the electric and historical societies have had
the matter under consideration, and will re-

While the latter pronunciation, above indi-
Gated, accenting the middle syllable and
sounding the finals, has the sanction of some
polite usage, it is understood that the COM
mittees are largely and decidedly in favor of
the original pronunciation given by the
French, and will pronounce the pronunci-
alton as nearly correct, which is in use by
the mass Of old citizens, giving the Italian
sound Of in each syllable; the final ST.

called the vulgar pronunciation is that the

EUGENE BAUNE.
SKETCH OF A FAMOUS FRENCH REPUBLICAN,
PATRIOT AND PHILOSOPHER

SKETCH OF A FAMOUS FRENCH REPUBLICAN,
PATRIOT AND PHILOSOPHER,
From the Boston Herald.
Eugene Baune, who died recently in
Switzerland, in his S1st year, had been all
his life most earnest, devoted Republi-
can, had ever been in fullest sympathy
with the people, and never swerved for
moment from his allegiance to them, and
to what he believed to be their best in
terests. He was that rarest OF creatures, a
consistent Frenchman, and a Frenchman,
too, who from first to last had but one set
Of principles and one kind of politics.
Such thing as demagogisn, even in the
mildest type. was unknown, yea, impossi-
BILE to him. He was at once gentle and
strong, patriot and philosopher; he
was as tender as tender woman, and yet
he could be- SO far as he himself
was concerned, the sternest of stoics. For
fifty years or more he had battled for Re-
pubicanism; he had repeatedly been fined,
imprisoned and exiled, but he bore all his
prosecutions and sufferings calmly having no
doubt of the ultimate triumph of the cause
Of Democracy. When the republic had
been established, he did not hasten to Paris

WHY HE OBJECTED TO BEING BLEED

A singular story is told, apropos of the
stay of Prince Oscar OF Sweden in Paris,
concerning the objection his ancestor Ber-
nadotte always had to being bled. His
medical adviser, who was a disciple Of Dr.
Sangrado, insisted in vain that it was nee
essary for his health; the king was obstn-
ate. AT last crisis came, and when Bcr-
nadotte heard that the doctor declined to
answer for his life if he would not consent
to bleeding he gave way But before bar
ing his arm he made the operator promise
that he would never divulge what was to
be seen on it, and the doctor made solemn
vow, which he broke. A Phrygian cap,
with the motto Death to Kings" was eab-
orately tattoed above the elbow. The
dashlng soldier when he pricked this regi-
eide maxim into his skin never dreamed
that one day he would come to be king
himself.

PARIS LETTER.
PARIS, FRANCE, April Goth, 1880.

PARIS, FRANCE, April 2Oth, 1851.
From our regular correspondent.
There is colony of Russian students in
Paris. Their headquarters are at reading
room founded by them in 1874, under the
auspicies of the great Russian novelist
Tourgenief, and originally situated in the
Rue Victor Cousin. 1t has since been re-
moved to a more commodious building in
the Rue Berthollet south of the Pantheon,
in the Quartier-Latin. Here may be wit
messed scene wildly reminding one of the
life in a Russian university town. The
students, male and female, number about
hundred, and retain the costume and pecu-
liar manners of their native country. The
men may be divided into two types-one
represented by those who wear long fair
hair and boards and fur capes, such as one
sees in German university towns; the other
partaking more of the Kalmuck element,
with bronzed compilations, black hair, and
high cheekbones. These latter wear the
Russian national blouse, belted at the waist.
The women are almost without exception
of very homely appearance and eschew
every outward sign of elegance in toilette
or gait. They are distinguished by their
retrousse's noses, pale complexion, short
hair, and large blue or green
spectacles. As may be imagined, the
members of this strange fraternity are a
constant subject of curiosity among the in
digenous population, and when one more
eccentric in appearance than the rest is seen
in the street he or she is at once surrounded
by an inquisitiye, if not admiring crowd Of
gamius. The readiug-room is furnished
with a supply Of books mostly of the kind
prohibited by the Russian government, and
printed in Lipzig, Berlin and Geneva. To
these must be added the leading revolution
airy periodicals and newspapers, printed in
and out OF Russia, The majority Of the
students follow the courses of medi-
cine at the Ecole de Medicine, and some
have distinguished themselves by passing
their examinations with flying colors.
When, however, they unite on their own
ground, politics are the order of the day;
and without asserting that the members OF
the Russian coSny are all rabld NihiliSts,
il cannot be denied that the antecedents Of
most of them would hardly bear inspection
from Russian point of view. The greater
number have been obliged to "leave their
country for their country's good" without
regular pass ports; but to say that they are
all enemies of the Russian government, or
that their library is the headquarters of the
Russian Socialist society in Paris, would be
going too far

AS the term of President Hayes draws TO
a close the members of his cabinet are be-
ginning to look out for good fat positions

leave and he had himself nicely provided
for by securing life position on the bench.
Postmaster General Key is now anxious to
be taken care Of in the same generous way.

The house committee on railroads is
very much mixed up on the bill granting
an extension OF the land grant to the North
ern Pacific railroad. There are thirteen
members of the committee and eight of
them are against the bill. These eight
are, however, divided among themselves as
to what ought to be done for the road.
Some Of them are for taking the land back,
leaving the road to get along the best way
il can. Others favor paying the company
fifty cents an acre for the land. This would
give the company about $12,5O0 per mile.
The company, however, VANS the land.
They are working hard to secure favorable
action and have already secured post
of further consideration Of the
bill tor the present The chances are that
the company will get what it
wants.

THE bill providing for the privacy of
telegraphic communications, about which
there was SO much talk some time ago, has
been reported favorably 10y the committee
to which it referred, and will soon come up
for action. There doesn't seem to be any
good reason why communication sent by
telegraph shouldn't be deemed to be the
private property Of the sender and receiver
as well as a letter Letters are not seized
and made public by courts and legislative
committees, and telegraph messages ought
be treated with the same respect There
are those who hold that congress has no
authority to pass such law as is contem-
plated, but it is said that opinion is not held
by majority Of congress. If the law is
passed, the annoyance Of cipher dispatches

BE RESERVED.

DO not be too anxious 10 give away your
self, to wear your heart upon your sleeve.
1t is not only unwise, It's wrong to make
your secret soul common property. For
you bring the delicate things of the heart
into contempt by exposing them to those
who cannot understand them. If you throw
pearls before swine, they will turn again
and rend you. Nor, again, should you
claim too much openness, as duty to your
child, your friend, your wife, or your hus
band Much of the charm of life is ruined
by exactipg demands of confidence. Respect
the natural modesty of the soul; its more
delicate flowers of feeling close their petals
when they are touched too rudely. Wait
with curious love-with eager interest-tor
the time when, all being harmonious, the
revelation will come OF its own accord, I'M
demanded. The expectation has its charm,
for as long as life has something to learn,
life is interesting: as long as friend has
something to give, friendship is delightful.
Those who wish to destroy all mystery in
those they love- to have everything reveal
ed, are unconsciously destroying their own
happiness. 1t is much to live with those
who sometimes speak to us in parables-if
we love them. Love needs some indefinite
ness in order to keep its charm. Respect,
which saves love from the familiarity which
degrades it, is kept vivid when we feel
there is a mystery in those we love which
comes Of depth Of character. Remember
that violating your own reserve, or that of
another you destroy that sensitiyeness of
character which make so much Of the
beauty of character; and beauty OF charac-
ter is not so common as not to make it q
cruel thing to spoil it.

of his babinet have urged him to veto it.
But he will also send brief veto of the
little deficiency bill The part of this to
which he objects is the amendment requir-
ing deputy marshals of elections to be ap-
pointed by the courts. He objects to this
because it is Legislation in an appropriation
