Obliged to take active exercise on foot and
he averaged in ordinary weather not less
than seven miles a day. Some years ago
when with hIm on the Lake OF Geneva, we

false than this absurd assertion. | remember
well the second of NJ. De Fourtou giving me
a detailed account of this duel and he took
occasion to stamp this lie with wel-merited
contempt. As showing the inexperence Of
Gambetta at that time, he mentioned that

they were not convinced of their error until
the attention of each was drawn to the smoke

serious lndisposition some time ago?'
Yes, but thought, as many others did
that he would recover. However the French
papers dated Dec. 81, which l have received

then felt with regard to Gambetta's condi-

to have astoupded and dismayed even those

kleptomania. Beginning some time since
to save up small sums of money from her
