PAUL JULES GREvY.

The Recently Reelected President Of
the French Republic and His Political
Record.
NJ Francois Paul Jules Grevy, who
was recently reelected to the Presi-
dency of the French Republic for the
term of seven years, is over seventy
two years old. He is lawyer by pro-
fession, and is a member of the bour-
geois, or middle class of the popula-
ton. He took part in the revolutionary
proceedings of 1880, and afterward, as
their counsel, defended several radical
extremists accused of political offenses.
In 1848 he was elected To the Constitu-
ent Assembly of France. and was fire.
quent speaker in that body, until the
accession of Louis Napoleon, when he
retired from public life. He was q
Democrat, and opposed on principle to
the imperial system. In 1871. when
France was endeavoring to protect
itself in the last extremity from Ger
many, he was elected member of the
National Assembly and was chosen
President of that body, which, after
being driven from Versailles, sat at
Bordeaux and Marseilles. He pub
lished pamphlet in 1873, in which he
asserted the principle that France
ought to have been reconstructed after
the Franco-German war as limited
monarchy, the elements of which were
then in existence and at hand, but
that, having failed so to do, the only
other course was to establish a repub-
lie. In 1876 he was elected member
of the Chamber of Deputies and was
chosen its presiding officer. In 1873,
on the fall of MacMahon, he was
elected President of France, and he
has now been reelected to the same
Office. He will be nearly eighty years
old if he lives till the close of the term.
M. Grevy is probably the best man
that could have been elected as the
figure-head of the French Government.
He is a safe, level-headed man. He
has scrupulously held aloof from the
various factions in French parties. He
has performed to general acceptance
the few and limited duties of President,
and has not sought to arrogate uncon-
stitutional powers. The Office of Presi-
dent in France is one of exceedingly
narrow jurisdiction, which he has not
attempted to enlarge nor to transgress.
He enjoys the confidence of all parties,
though not exactly.such President as
the strong men in either party would
have selected if they could have had
their way. The Ministry and the Ma
tional Assembly rule France, but if
wise counsels, prudent leadership and
a careful adherence to the constitution
of the Republic can save it, these quail
tiles in M. Grevy constitute the best
hope for its continued existence

How He Searched Harrisburg for Bsiti-
more Restaurant.
/ heard a funny story of the late
Judge Black and David w. Sellers, the
well-known Pennsylvania Railroad So
icitor, the other day. The Judge and
Mr.. Sellers were engaged on the same
side as counsel in prominent case to
be tried in Harrisburg and both met by
appointment at the hotel. They con-
suited all the afternoon, and about four
o'clock Mr.. Sellers remarked that he
was very hungry and suggested dinner.
The Judge said that was good sugges-
ton, but insisted on going to a restau-
rant for dinner, to which Mr.. Sellers
consented. Five o'clock arrived and
Sellers grew impatient.
I'm very hungry, Judge" said he;
"let's get that dinner"
"An right, Dave" was the Judges
reply; "get me my hat and come on"
The twain started out together, the
: Judge having hold of Mr.. Sellers arm,
talking all along about the case they
were engaged on. Down Market street
they walked until they came to the
railroad.
81 don't see any restaurant here. |"
said Mr. Sellers.
Must be on the other side, Dave"
said the Judge, looking about him.
They crossed Market street and
walked up as far as Third, hating on
the Telegraph corner.
well, Judge" said Mr.. Sellers,
"where is that restaurant I'm very
hungry"
81 declare I didn't see it." said the
Judge; "oh, now / know where it is.
Up this way" and he led Mr. Sellers up
Third street
They went on and on until they got
to Pine, when Mr.. Sellers again broke
forth:
"Come, Judge, produce that restau-
rant. I'm very hungry and this delay
is positively annoying"
''Hold on, Dave" said Judge Black,
'I see I've made a mistake. That
restaurant is down this way. Yes,
now I have it for certain. 1t is down
this way"
And he led the half-famished Mr..
Sellers down Third street past Market,
until their slow pace brought them to
Chestnut street.
There's no restaurant here" said
Mr.. Sellers.
"Why, yes" said the Judge, looking
mp at the Reformed Church, ''this must
be it. but til shut up. No, this Is not
it. This is q church, Dave. It's q
church."
"Well, I can see that for myself, "
was Mr.. Sellers answer, and then he
remarked: Judge, I'm very hungry
and this delay is positively aggra-
waiting"
The Judge stood in the middle of the
pavement. twirling his tobacco-box in
an absent-minded way. Suddenly he
turned on Mr.. Sellers and bright
light suffused his broad countenance as
he said:
"Why, Dave, I've made q mistake.
That restaurant / am hunting is in
Baltimore! Yes, it's in Baltimore,
Dave. and not in Harrisburg. On
Eutaw street, in Baltimore, and here
we've been hunting it all afternoon"
Mr.. Sellers was speechless. He said:
"Come on, Judge, let's 60 back 70
the hotel and get a cup of tea"
And they went. Mr.. Sellers tells
this story himself.-Harrisburg pa
