they have a tendency.to draw young
mon away from the farms"

Indian chief who Ia his old age puts

II simply emphasizes savagery."

The Due D'Anma.e, who was lately
expelled from France by the Republican
government,h has anticipated the threats
OF confscation by presenting his great
estate Of Chantilly to the Institute of
France, in trust for the public use.
Chantilly was inherited by the son of
Louis Philippe from the family Of the
Great Conde. 1t was taken from him
once under the Empire, ont restored by
the National Assembly in 1872, and
though he holds it by as sound and just
title as that by which any other pri-
vate citizen holds bis house or lands, the
fact that he is the son of a king has
made II an object Of constant envy. In
giving it to the nation, the Duo d'Au.
male is really preserving Chantilly, for
IL can be of no use to his family as long
as they remain in exile, whe,eas,if the
| Comte de Paris should come t. tho
throne. this great public domain will
simply swelI the glory Of the house of
Orleaus. It is rot only most beauti-
full estate, but the chateau contains one
Of the greatest private collections Of
works OF art in The world. All Of this
is to be free to the people of France.
