An Anecdote of Gambetta's Mother.

An old acquaintance of Gambetta
contributes an important anecdotai pa
per to the March Century containing
the following account of a rather un-
scrupulous ruse by which Gambetta's
mother got the means to send her son to
the law school in Paris. A portrait of
Gambetta is the frontispiece of the
number, and portrait of his father ac-
companies the article.
As the Bazaar Genois" was in the
market-place its business lay in great
degree with rustics Leon got sick
of dealing with haggling rustics, and
prayed to be removed from behind the
counter to the desk. As he was quick
accountant, and wrote in a neat, legible
and flowing hand, this was granted.
He did his best to give his mind to the
business, but failed, and his health
sank under the tedium of uncongenial
pursuits. No device to which the
watchful and tender mother resorted
could get the better of his splenetic
state. He had fixed ambition which,
as it appeared to him chimerical one,
made him restless, discontented and
miserable; it was to study law, and be-
come teacher to Legal Faculty in
provincial city. One day his mother
called him to her. She said she had
been unhappy in witnessing his growing
depression, and she handed him bag
of money which she had saved unknown
to any nybody-enough to defray the cost
of his journey to Paris and enable him
TO study law there for some time. A
trunk full of clothing had been pre-
pared, and was at the Office of the
stage-coach, where place was booked
for him to the nearest railway. Mad
anne Gambetta instructed him to slip
quietly away, in order to avoid a pain
full scene with his father, who was de-
termined that his son should succeed
him in the business. This communica-
ton was so unexpected and delightful
1that for the rest of the day Leon was in
IL state of bewilderment. He rose be-
Stimes next morning, and stole off as in
'structed. Before Madame Gambetta
had instructed her son to follow his vo-
cation, she had taken steps to keep him
out of misery when the hoard placed in
his hands should be exhausted. In
1856, the year in which Gambetta left
Cahors, NJ. Emile Menier went there on
business tour. He had just opened
the chocolate factory at Noisiel, and
traded in medicated biscuits and sweet
stuffs. Calling at the Bazaar Genois, -
he was received by Madame Gambetta
In answer to his proposal to sell his
goods On commission she, with tears in
her eyes, met it with another. 1t was
in the nature of the one enunciated by
the unjust steward. II have a son of
great promise" she said, ..whom I
want to send to Paris, agamsth his fathers
will, to study law. He is a good lad
and no fool But my husband, who
wants him TO continue his business here,
viii, / know, try to starve him into SUBJ
mission. What | am about to propose
is that if / buy your chocolate at the
rate you offer it, and buy it outright in
stead OF taking it to sell on commission,
you viii say nothing if l enter it at
higher price, and you will pay the diff
ference to my son?n NJ Menier, from
whose lips had this anecdote, agreed,
and for some years carried out the ar
rangement,

A Russian Council of War,

There was no forward movement this
day, but a long council of war, from
which old krudener went away gloomi-
ly, predicting defeat; for he had re-
monstrated against the attempt which
was to be made, and which was to be
carried out only in obedience to per-
emptory orders from the commander
in-chief of the Russian army
This council OF war would have been
very interesting spectacle to any one
unfamiliar with the personnel of the
Russian army. On the windy plain,
outside the tents constituting Schahov-
skoy's headquarters, had gathered rep
resentatiVes of all the types of Russian
officerhood. Here was the gray beard
ed, hard-faced old major who, without
protection had fought his sturdy way
up through the grades, with long de-
lays, much hard service, and many
wounds. lie had been an ensign in the
Crimea, and afterward was forgotten,
for nobody knows how many years, in
some odd corner of the Caucasus He
is only major, poor old fellow; but he
has balf-a-dozen decorations, and,
please God, he will gain another to-
morrow, if he has the luck to stand up.
He is as hard as nails, and would as
soon live on biscuit and ''salt-horse" as
on champagne and French cookery
There is little in common between him
and the tall, stately, grizzled general
by his side, who is an aid-de-camp of
the Emperor; a grand seigneur of the
court, yet who has never forsworn the
camp; a man who will discuss with YOU
the relative merits of Patti and Lucca;
who has yachted in the Mediterranean,
shot grouse in the Scottish highlands,
and gone after buffalo on the prairies
of America; who wears his decorations,
too, some of them earned in the fore
front of the battle, others as honorary
distinctions, or marks of imperial favor.
He can gallop, can this young hussar in
the blue-and-red; he can cut the sword
exercise; he can sing French songs; he
would give his last cigarette either to
comrade or TO a stranger, like myself:
and in his secret heart he has vowed to
earn the Cross of St. George tomorrow,
Till the very end of the war never
took quite heartily TO Lieutenant Bruto-
koff-the very opposite of the swell
Young hussar / have described The
first time that l met him, | knew that /
disliked him down to the ground. His
manners well, he had none to speak of
and his voice was a growl with a
hoarseness in it begotten OF sehnapps.
He did not look as if he washed copi-
ously. and he was the sort of man who
might give some color to the notion that
the Russian has not yet quite broken
himself OF the custom OF breakfasting off
tallow candles. But he turned out not
Ia bad fellow on further acquaintance,
and would share his ration with stray
dog. Forbes, IN the March ST.
