What has shaken so many friends
In the republic? The KrOumiT farce,
winding up with the absorption of
Tunisia, after Mr.. Waddington'S
boast. that France was the only dis
interested power at the congress of
Rerlin-When he had the Tunis
scheme cut and dry in his pocket;
and M. st. sHilaire's assurance, that
fine invasion of Tunisia was simply
to punish the unfndable Kroumirs,
while he had in his portfolio the
Rards treaty for the Independent
Rev to sign. The best friends of
France are those who talk to her
bluntIy, and disdain to flatter either
her whims or her vanity. She has
sufficient good qualities to be able
to dispense with such drawbacks.
The communists have duly cele-
brated massacre week." in memory
of the last one of May 1871. They
did not march in close column order
to Pere La Chaise cemetery, where
the insurgents are buried in spot
apart, sacred to the memory OF
friends, but ignored by foes. Crowns
were deposited, wild speeches OF
revenge INDUCED in; facts with
death formed, and similar other
kinds of harmless extravaganza.
The monster grave appears to have
been scooped shallow, as many bones
peep through the soil. Indeed some
of the children made games of
bowls with the skulls. Imperial
Cesar, dead, and turned to clay,
might stop a hole to keep the
wind away. When the revolutions
rocked the academy, and demolished
the tomb of its founder, Richelieu,
the children made a rolling toy Of
the great cardinals skull on the flag
way.
Another star gone out: the NGp0-
leon, Prince JerOme's organ, has col
Iapsed; it lacked funds, subscribers
and influence; it was the representa-
tive organ Of what was claimed to
be liberal and anti-clerical
Bonapartism'-an odd medley. The
no longer exist as a
party. Those who have not gone
over to the republic, have drifted
into royalism. A memorial mass
will be executed on the anniversary
Of the Prince ImperiaPs death, and
q journal presents its re aders with
a melody, or ditty, composed by the
deceased in the halcyon days Of his
golden exile.
The postmaster-general has pur-
chased for 100000 francs, a Belgian
invention, by which the ordinary
wire can be made to also
10 telephone duty at the same time,
and regardless of distance. The
northern railway of France has
Been successful in its experiments
If detaching wagons or carriages
rom train running at fifty miles |
IN hour; the detached vehicles, after |
separation, tad pole fashion, quietly |
stop themselves, and within short |
distance.
Numerous inventors have left for |
Alexandria and Cairo, to place their
discoveries at Arab Pacha's dis |
)osal. In general, all the novelties |
claim to secure two desiderata; the |
,otal destruction of the enemy, and |
1t trifing cost: the operators fur
her, are guaranteed not the slightest |
'isk. 1t both sides possessed only |
he latter material guarantee!
To aid NJ. Naquet to carry his |
divorce bill, the theatres are reviv-
ng all plays with conclusions faY-
,rable to divorce and hostile to
nother's-in-laW. Two journals have

wanted to speak up for the offspring
# Unmatched couples.
Baron Oppenheim was sued by a

The baron having sworn he never

The comic journals continue to
indulge In skits against NJ. Grevy.
lis offense is total abstinence from
'arty squabbles, which is wisdom
tself. Hugo has sent a shake Of
he hand by telegraph to the Ital-
ans at the International Literary
congress; that does not appear to
ave brought back the now lost love
f the Latin sister.
A sub-prefect at Toulon has come
o grief; he received the minister of
