who have perpetuated the remarkable colony
founded ninety-eight years ago by English
sailors; but it is refreshing now and then TO
contemplate their idyllic existence, cut of as
they are from the busy world, tilling the fer

A traveller on an English bark which
touched at Pitcairn in February last says he
saw among the islanders men who in stature
would be credit to the Royal Guards, and
women who were fair to see though their
garments were not rich and fashionable;
women who are skilled in the arts of house
wifery, in the making of fancy baskets and
shell work, and some, too, who can play ex-
cellently on the little church organ. Born
to this life of isolation, the Pitcairn Islander

When, years ago, Pitcairn became too
crowded, considering its slender resources,
and the people were removed by Great
Britain to Norfolk, that island, small as it
is, bewildered them by its vastness. Having
only footpaths in Pitcairn, they thought the
wagon roads of Norfolk unsightly, and the
echoes aroused by their voices in the stone
quarter where convicts had once lived i'm
pressed them as a most disagreeable novelty.
A minority decided that they could not be
happy among these strange surroundings
and they returned to Pitcairn to live and die.

Wales and the New Yorker.

Speaking of the Prince of Wales reminds
me of a good thing in which a New Yorker
"a well known one, too-fgured to some ex-
tent. The prince had been down at the docks
somewhere, Opening" school, or hospital.
and was leisurely walking back in the direc-
ton of st. Paul's in company with his son,
Albert Victor, alias collars and Cuffs"
There was quite a crowd behind the royal
pair, but the policemen on duty succeeded in
keeping them at respectful distance The
New Yorker, who had just emerged from
Shorts place, saw the prince and walked up
to him with a smiling face.
"How do, yer highness. I'm Col - from
New York. Glad to see you"
The prince. who is rather a good natured
fellow and enjoys a joke, extended his right
hand with the remark: "pm well, colonel
I'm also happy to meet you"
The policemen were dumfounded, the
crowd Immediately revered the colonel and
that unabashed parsonage walked proudly
away.-London Cor. New York Press.

Indiyidualism in America.

WHAT is the subtle influence pervading the
moral atmosphere in New York which so
markedly distinguishes what we call life here
from life in Parisl
1t is, l think, distinctly traceable to the
intense individualism which prevails among
US. Magnificent results have followed our
devotion to this force; incontestably we have
through it spared ourselves both the acute
and the chronic misery for which the tyranny
of society over its constituent parts is di.
rectly responsible. We have, moreover, in
this way not only freed ourselves from the
tyranny of despotism, such, for example, as
is exerted socially in England and politically
in Russia: but we have undoubtedly devel-
oped a larger number of self reliant AID po-
tentially capable social units than even
democratic system like that of France, which
sacrifices the unit to the organism, succeeds
in producing. We may truly say that, ma
terial as we are accused Of being, we turn
out more men than any other nationality

ner and Lafayette. He would not satisfy
their curiosity ON the point until they had
breakfasted. Then he sang the hymn heart
ily, and it produced immediate admiration"
According to Michelet's version, some one
had said that Gallons" should be the key note
Of the hymn; and now, as the poet entered
the room, he came singing the strophe:
Allons, enfants de La patrie!
The friends listened with ever increasing
emotion; it seemed, both words and music, as
A flash of light from heaven; it expressed, in
a way characteristic of true inspiration,
the feeling of every heart. France had not
only realized her unity, but found the gift of
speech.
The song, once sung, passed like wildfire
from mouth to mouth, and in two months
was all over France. The poet called it
"Hymn of the Army of the Rhine" and he
sent it the same day to Gen. Luckner, who
was at the head of this portion of the French
troops. 1t was Immediately printed on a
half sheet in oblong quarto, and those who
could not obtain a copy made one for them
selves The orchestras at the theatres gave
it. and the band of the national guard played
it on the following Sunday.
Who composed the music! Undoubtedly,
as we have said, music and verse were of one
and the same inspiration. Germany has
claimed the music as taken from a mass by
Holtzmann, but research has been unable to
find the mass in question: or that such COM
poser ever lived. The point is settled by the
fact that in the original impression, dedicated
to Luckner, and published at Strasburg in
l7g2. the music is there, and that contem-

was he himself who composed it. 1t would
be difficult to find national ode filled with
patriotic fervor more intense, but the music
Is undoubtedly superior to the words, and
venture to say the most inspiring the modern
world possesses.
The Austrian emperor had made three de-
mands. Submission to the first two would
have reduced France to tief of the empire,
The third was still more odious, for it meant
q return to the old order of things.
The answer came in this Hymn of the
Army of the Rhine"
In June, 1892, it was sung to the volunteers
departing from Marseilles, and to each was
given a copy. Three days after the mani
festo was issued, the famous ''Six hundred,
who knew how to die" entered Paris, singing
what had now become the hymn of the revo-
luton. Henceforth it was called the Hymn
of the Marseillaise," and then simply the
"Marseillaise" 1t did at once terrible and
effective work; for to its strains the Tuileries
were taken and the French monarchy over
thrown. Valmy and Jemappes followed, and
the invasion collapsed. What the ode did in
battle may be seen by demand of one of the
Republican generals "Send me 1000 men
and a COPY of the 'MarseillaiSe '"-LeSure
Hour.
