How the French Actors Were Saved.

Charles de LabuSslen, Young son Of
an ancient but impoverished family,
abandoned at an early age to his own
resources. had commenced his career by
serving as volunteer in the regiment OF
savoie-Carignan. and had subsequently
tried his fortune on the stage, playing
for some months the Jocrisses at n Pa
risian minor theater. Soon wcaryinr of
his fancy, he gradually drifted into an
idle and purposeless existence. and rs
LONG as his slender means lasted
amused himself by becoming notorious
as mystiiier and practical Joker His
funds at length being entirely exhaust
ed. he was induced, much against his
will. TO accept post offered him by a
member of the committee of public safe
~. as the surest method of escaping the
charge-an objectionable crime in
those days-Of lukewarm patriotism.
His principal duty was the examination
of the accusatory papers daily received
from the various sections, each of which
had to be duly analysed and reported
to the committee rs q preparatory step
to the Judgment of the victims No one
was more untitled for the performance
of this repugnant task than Labussiere.
Aided by an equally compassionate col
league, he conceived the hazardous idea
of suppressing at the imminent risk of
detection, whatever charge appeared to
him most dangerous to the safety of the
accused: and il is undoubted fact that,
from the period of his installation in
office to the ninth Thermidor no less
than 100 persons We're indebted TO him
for their lives. Among the denuncia-
tons which passed through his hands,
not the least important were the docu-
ments relating TO six doomed members
of the Coincide Franchise, any one Of
which was sufficient to insure their con-
demnation These he carefully laid
aside and destroyed when an opporturi-
" occurred by soaking them in water
and tearing them into fragments, which
he aftcrWard threw into the Seine. In
vain Fouquier Tinville continually de-
manded the requisite authority for plac-
ing the ''aristocratic hstrions" ut the
bar; in vain their invetcrate enemy,
Collot d'Ilerbois, chafed ut the delay
and insisted on the production of the
damnatoy proofs against them; not a
scrap Of paper was found to compro-
mise them, and, thanks to the courage
OF their unsupported ally they remained
uumolcsted until, after eleven months
captivity, the fall Of Robcspierre finally
opened their prison doors, and the reign
Of terror was a thing Of the past

As q rule Germans are not gamblers;
but they play sometimes and when they
play they like TO win, SO there are
charms that secure their success. Here
is one Of them in rough outline. 1t is
by far Tie worst and most blasphcmous
we have heard of in Central Germany
distinct piece of witchcraft, as il seems
TO Us. 70 the words of the charm, dis
tinctly noted down at tine time. we re-
greet that we can not refer. The re-
ceipt without them stands thus: Catch
a toad on Easter Sunday morning be-
fore sunrise, take piece Of soft wood
pine, etc, not beech nor oak-a little
larger than the toad, and then nail the
wrctched creature upon it in the form
of a cross, hang it on an isolated pole
toward the sun, thus gradually chang
ing its position with the progress of the
day; keep sprinkling it every now and
then with water, for if it dies before the
sun sets your labor has been in vain. If,
when the sun goes down he is still par
TALLY alive it is enough; take him TO
the nearest ant-hill and bury him in it..
On Whit Sunday dig him up. limo one
has disturbed the hill you will iind the
bones quite clean and white; put them
i'm little bag, hang it round your mock,
and YOU will always win in games of
chance. This charm is, of course, n
violation of every law of humanity and
rcIgion n giving ones self TO the devil
even more formally than if one signed
a contract with him in ones own blood.
II we could reproduce the words TO be
used at the different hours it would
ne seen, imperfect as our account even
then would be, what mysteries are carl
catred, and therefore violated. The
man who employs such means simply
says: Il shut myself out of the fold Of
Christ; all want is to win at cards.
The charm was preserved by an old
man who had served in the wars OF
1878 and 1919. Another man, COM
rade of his, whom me had carried
wounded off a battlefield, had given
him, when on the point Of death, his
''lucky BAG, and told him how to make
anew one The veteran did not know
from what district the man he had
saved for q day or two had come; his
knowledge of the charm itself was evil

had never tried it; but the bag and the
bones We're there, little blue silk bag,

1t has been enormously reported in
most of the outside metropolitan news
papers that the state legislature at its
late session at Huron passed an act sub
mitting to vote of the people OF the
state of Dakota the proposition "shall
the state government go into operation"
upon certain day. The state legisla-
ture did not take action upon any SUBJ
ject for the reason that 1T lacked q
quorum of its members. The constitu-
tional convention adopted an ordinance
covering the foregoing point, but left it
discretionary with the state executive
committee to submit the proposition or
not. General Campbell, chairman of
the state executive committee, is de-
cidedly opposed to any such action.
because he deems it impracticRble q,
this time and also unnecessary, because
the constitutional convention settled
that question by the absolute repeal OF
the restraining CLAUSE OF the schedule
1t is impracticable to hold an election il
the present unorganlzed condition o.
the state-more than that, it ia an i'm
posi- bility. AS the authorized repre-
sentatives CT the people have unan
imously agreed upon an actua
condition OF statehood and have pledg
ed their constituents to sctiv,
allegiance to this course it is not deemee
advisable to attempt an election In tn
absence OF all election machinery.
