he made a tour Of England and Ireland,
examining the British Notifications; but as
the 10, 600 men did not materialize be went to
France and commenced a newspaper crusade
against Louis Napoleon's military projects.
In 1869 Napoleon issued an imperial order
for his expulsion, reviving an old law which
makes foreigners of those who servo in any
foreign army. Cluseret protested as an
American, and by the Intervention of Minis
ter Washburne secured a brief delay. He
appealed to congress in ford memorial,
but when brought to final account protested
as Frenchman, saying that Gin America the
war of giants, which lasted four years,
counted none but volunteer armies" The
New Yor'. Tribune condemned his course,
and this was his retort:
Horace Greeley, young and poor, had
himself pelted for the freedom of the blacks.
Fat, blonde, old and an ch-millionairo, he
has adopted the bourgeois motto, Every one
in his own home, every one for himself.
Amen"
He had to leave France, but returned after
the fall of the empire, joined the Commun-
lists, and attempted to discipline them and re-
strain their destructive fury, but in vain.
As minister of war to the Commune he was
condemned to death by the Theirs govern
ment but escaped to Belgium in the disguise
of priest. He lived there and in Geneva,
supporting himself by writing till the am
nesty gave him the right to return to France.
His Memoirs Of the Siege" condemn the
Communists severely, and almost everybody
else to some extent He is an unparalleled
egotist, handy alike with pen and sword. as
ready to fight as to write. His motto in the
late campaign wus, 1.-THE Commune means
freedom and regeneration, not destruction.
And on that platform the peasants of the de-
partment Of Var have elected him against all
tine appeals of the Conservatives.

Educated Play Goers.

In the good old times we had one set Of
scenery for all plays. A tent was tent and
q wood was a wood, irrespective Of chmes or
persons This public went to the play to hear
the music or enjoy the verse, and actors
grew declamatory. Since then we have
gone to the other extreme, and stage setting
has been wondrously elaborated ! think

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE fall and winter
holidays begin in New York some six months
before their arrival. In June and July the
holiday publishers begin to make up their
Christmas matter by writing to their favor
lite authors suggesting the kinds of work they
want and the number of words required In
due season this work comes to hand and is
given at once to the artists, who are less busy
during the heated term than later on, and
who make the pictures at their leisure. There
are some disappointment at the hands Of
author and artist, but the supply of matter
is always large enough to make the complete
book. When the book is completed there is
generally regret on the part Of the editors
and publishers that some of the best matter
has been crowded out-that kind always is
crowded out-but it is an amelorating
thought later on that the sales of the publ
cation have probably been as great as if it
had gone in, and it will be capital matter
with which to lead the next holiday annual.

The Earl of Lucan.

The Earl of Lucan, whose death took place
recently in London, and Of whom a portrait
is here given, achieved fame in few min
utes which will doubtless run through song
and story for centuries. During the Crimean
war he misinterpreted an order to charge tho
enemys guns. Leading his men up to works
which it was impossible should be taken by
his single brigade of light cavalry, his men
were shot down in such numbers that only
a small portion lived to ride back. Lord
Lucan was not blamed for undertaking an

There is an interesting item In the recent
news from France: Gen. Gustave Cluseret,

and Fenian, critic of Mcclellan, Fremont.

elected to the assembly from the department
Of Var in the southeast His election viii be

pleasant for him, as that is Just the kind OF
a fight he likes He is q radical, almost to
the extent Of being communist; and as the
election was on Sunday and fine day, the
peasantry turned out for him to man, and
elected him against terrific opposition.
Gen. Cluseret was born In 1928, the son of
a colonel in the 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-

There is one character in Minnesota's
politics which through all the move
ments of the late campaign has stood
aloof, and in quiet dignity, as faithful
executive, embarrassed by the strife
waged on all sides of him, served the
wishes of those. who were in combat
over his successor.
AS governor of this state, one of the
strong holds of republicanism, and one
in which the enemy centred its most
valiant forces, one in which most ag.
gressive combat had been carried on,
A. R. McGill, prominent in position,
powerful to benefit by the situations,
avoided close contact inasmuch as it
could further his own interests and
gave his services where they were most
needed, in the executive hall.
True it is that the representatives of
Mlnnesota's Republican party, in con-
Vention assembled, forgot to recognize
McGill's claims, but true it is also that
no higher endorsement was yet given
one who proved true to his promises in
each and every instance, and the re-
publican party thereby acknowledged
/; that their foremost leader was justified
to praise.
Modesty in politics reveals charac-
teristic of true craftsmanship. 1t is not
the Boosting giant that strides DER the
battle-ground in glittering armament,
that will rule as digniied counselor
when peace bids q calm and studious
contemplation of civil affairs. 1t is the
man who in the heat of action warns
his comrades of impetuous advance.
that serves his country best.
And in this calm, deliberative spirit
has McGill conducted the affairs of Of
fee when all around him was in head
less haste and worry.
He has not risen as shining meteor
on the political heavens, flashed upon it
as q bursting star, but gradually, gain,
ing strength and recognition, he stands
before the people to-day as man to be
depended upon. =...
He is himself, and stands unfettered
by associates. which have benefit to
ask if he again should be called upon
to serve his state.
And this he will be and must, for his
party will not forget what it owes him
for his services in the past and will ele-
vate him to that position, where his ex-
ecutive ability will best serve his state.
In comparison with him what has Sabin
done? Mention his name as a candidate
for reelection to the United States Sen
ate, and the answer given defeats him.
And Washburne's claim? Is his as do
minant and great for that Office as Nc
Gill's?
Washburne and Sabin advocate their
own cause; they are the strongest fac
tors in their own behalf, and their can.
didacy was first thought of by them
selves.
McGill patiently awaits the outcome;
he does not thrust himself forward and
says: 81 am here" but is content to
know that he is able to satisfy the claims
against him.
AS Senator he will prove that calm
and dignifed character which he has
proved himself to be as governor, and
in respect to itself the republican party
of this state owes him reinstation.
