When last June the French government
invited the government of the United States
to participate in the centenary celebration Of
the French revolution, she also set aside
$4,000 square feet Of floor space in her big
exposition buildings, and promised to cx-

GENERAL cLUSERET.
He IL Charged In Trance with Ecin. an
American Citizen.

He IL Charged in Trance with Eein. an
American Citizen.
There is an interestin. item in the recent
news from France: Gen. Gustave C.userct,
the former French American soldier, editor
and Fenian, critic of Mcclellan, Fremont,
Greeley. and almost everybody else, has been
elected to the assembly from the department
of Var in the southeast His election will be
contested on the ground that he is an Amezi-
can citizen, but that will make it al the more
pleasant for him, as that Is just the kind Of
a fight he likes. He is a radical, almost to
the extent Of being a communist: and as the
election was on Sunday and a fine day, the
paasantrv turned out for him to a man, and
elected him against terrific opposition.
Gen. Cluseret was born in 1928, the son OF
,a q colonel in tho French army; entered the
= service at an early age, and served with dis
tinction in Africa and the Crimea, wore the
cross of the Legion Of Honor and then re-
signed to serve with Garibaldi. The civil
war brought him to America. where he served
first under Mcclellan, Of whom he says:
II never saw SO undecided man. When
in Paris he could never make up his mind
what date to start home, because there was q
steamer every week. If there had been but
one a month that would have decided him. /"
He was transferred to the army under Gen.
Fremont, and was made a general for ''gal-
liant and distinguished services at the battle
of Cross Keys" Liking Fremont still less
than Mcclellan he was transferred to Sigel

energy than the determination not to have 10
a msn in such a condition the advice of his
friends, his own knowledge and experience his
surroundings all motives for sobriety are as
naught" 80
Continuing, the writer describes his
voluntary confinement in a retreat as
the last resort to escape the allure
ments of the open saloon. Dipsomania
he concludes is as much a disease as
fever, and the one can only be pre-
vented as the other, by avoidance of
the cause. The cure lies in the pre-
vention of any possibility of contact
with the cause of the disease, or if such
contact has taken place, in abstinence
till the craving dies out for lack of sus-
tenance. How long is such abstinence
necessary?
!" The question is difficult and intricate one.
The only rule that be laid down is that
there should be time for, the morbid conditions
to wear out, Or. as DR.. Alfred Carpenter ex-
presses it, until the time arrives at which all
the tissues of the body have been changed, and
new tissue laid down in its place.
Finally says the writer:
s'The foregoing experiences establish to my
mind two propositions; (a) that dipsomania is
disease of the mind, due to physical causes,
the victims of which are incapable of managing
themselves or their affairs; and d. that total
abstinence from alcoholic drinks for pro-
longed period is essential in order that a cure
may be effected"

TEMPERANCE READING.
a WICKED SPIDER.


Iknow dingy corner where wicls I'd spider
clings;
Where he spins his web round bottles. glasses
jugs and other things;
And / listened in the shadow as one day I
passed along,
And heard the wicked spider, as he sang his
cruel song:
g VIII you take a little ciders WIN you call
while passing bys''
Said the wicked, crafty spider to the buzzing
little fly.
I" Will you take little lager? Surely you will
not decline
Just to take drink for friendship; say, just
sip q little wine.''
e He is coming for his ciderr said the wicked
cruel spider:
6 He is coming for his WINE, and my cord shall
round him Irvine;
While he sits and sips his lager, will whet
my little dagger,
And when he has drunk his wine he will find
that he is mine!
Ha. the little fool is coming, can hear him
buzzing, humming;
He who comes to visit me, vainly struggles to
be free.''
You are welcome to my parlor; am glad to
see you come.
Do not stay outside the entrance; please to
make yourself at home.
Will you take little lager while sharpen
up my daggers
Will you take a drop Of wine? then you surely
shall be nine:
Twill bind you, will grind you, though you
struggle, weep and pray;
/ will tie your hands behind you, you shall
never get away;
I will fight you, will smite you, will stab
you, will bite you,
will make you poor and needy, I will make
you old and seedy,
I will make you bleared and bloated, with
rags and tatters coated
And your hat will look so shocking that the
boys will all be mocking;
I will haunt you till you die, then I'll hang
you up to dry!'
my boy! beware of cider, and of lager, and
of wine,
Then the wicked cruel spider meier shall get
child of mine.
Let us storm his ugly castle, let us tear his
web away;
Let US drive away this spider. Heaven in
mercy speed the day.

The JUG AND The JAR.


A jug and a jar rested side by side
on shelf in the cupboard-they both were
cracked,
And the jar had nick it could not hide,
And the jug part Of its nozzle lacked,
But it held whatever was put inside,
And its trusty handle remained intact.
The jar had leaked, and the treacherous seam
With putty was mended, and filled SO true
That the poor MANNED thing in it's own esteem
Was just exactly as good as new,
And it dared in it's satisfied pride to dream
That such was its owners opinion too.
The Jug was piqued at the foolish conceit
OF its vain little neighbour and laughingly
said:
"Your cover is missing; that you're not dis

Is due to the fact that you haven't head

With especial forbearance the weak and i'll

Il am older than you are-cost more, and my

While you keep the shelf the whole twelve
months round
You're simply makeshift, while am treas

Just then they heard voices and footsteps.
Anon
The door opened wide and, dazzlingly bright,
A planished tin pail most aggressive1y shone
On their vision, and nearly upset them with
fright
The house mistress bore it, her rosy face grown
AS radiant, almost, as the pail, with delight.
tits just what I've wanted this many day.
She remarked to her husband ''How clever
you are
At guessing my wishesl I'm happy to say
That the clumsy old jug and the patched
earthen jar
Without a regret can now throw away
One would think they had been through q
thirty years war"
Astonshed and humbled, grieved, outraged,
ashast
The twain heard their sentence in silence
profound,
Nor did they find voice till they felt themselves
Through the half open easement outside on
the ground,
And knew from the shock and the SILVER at
last,
AS they struck on the ash heap without re-
bound,
They were wrecks and not things, nor could be
again;
Then the jug, as his faithful old handle gave
way,
Murmured brolzenly: $50 has it ever been
And Dazzle will hold over Truth it's sway
AS long as ten added units makes ten"
But a bit of the shattered jar answered:
may,
I've learned something else with my limited
ken
That the jugs and the jars alike have their
day.
. And the heads and the no-heads to primitive
clay
Together return-we are level again."
Yet the jar had not all Of the world-oh, no

aware
OF virtues you own which others don't know,
They take note of your faults and recount
them with care,
And estimate you as rule, far below
What you've rated yourself in Vanity Fair.
And you who imagine the world couldn't move,
The state would so under and business be
wrecked,
If you didn't fill your particular groove,

You've fitted his place in every respect.

GOOD REASONS.
Why You and Every Other Man Should
Sign the Pledge.

Why You and Every Other Man Should
Sign the Pledge.
I'm not drunkard
Il don't drink any thing to speak of. y
"If aOaat drink / take it; if DON It
| let it alone
Il never take SO much that I don't
know what ain about.
81 can drink little or much; it never
hurts me-"
81 can drink or let it alone.n
"Why should 1 sigh the pledge?"
Because:
l. You don't want to be drunkard.
| never found man who did; and the
disappointment of men who wake to
find themselves drunkards is some
thing too terrible to take the slightest
chance on, and a pledge of total absti-
nence taken and kept will turn any man
or woman from the path of the drunk
ard and the shame it leads to, and
hedge him in with sobriety just as eff
fectually as a good barbed-wire fence
will turn a careering colt from all that
lies outside of it's paddock, and keep
him within his own place.
A deliberate promise is the strongest
tether with which any man can bind a
good purpose. You have purpose to
be sober, reliable, pure; then bind the
habits of your life to it with a solemn
promise to abstain from Intoxicating
liquors, including wine, beer and cider,
and you are safe from that dragon.
2. You should sign the pledge and
stop all use of intoxicating drinks, be-
cause if you drink it ever so moderate
you are in danger The subtle poison
of alcohol has just one way with hui
man blood and nerves and brain, and
if you take one glass to-day of light
wine, the chances are ten to one that
you will die drunkard. You will fol-
low. in the same road that is filled up
with the staggering, profane, unclean
:throng of drunkards who all began
just as you are doing, drinking the one
first glass which opened the gate to all
GllctU LIDS lOlIOWC VI ollctlllo ttuCt SUI
row?
8. You should sign the pledge, even
if you never touched a drop of alco-
holic drink, that your name and infu-
ence may be on the right side of the
question. If you have a boy or girl,
that you may lead your child in the
right way. AS citizen, for the sake of
the tempted and weak who need the
strength which would come to them
from your name on the pledge; as a
member Of society, that the social
world may sooner adopt the fashion Of
