SOME interesting "reminiscences are called up
by the Swiss newspapers of the famous grand
father of tbs present President of France. The
Landvoet of Berne in the Vaud. Victor
Bonstettin. gave magnificent ball in the Castle
of Nyo y. at which MINNIE. De Stael and other
French emigrants were guests. When the gay
ETY. was at the highest the guests were aston
ished at seeing a lean and hungry looking man,
with dirty face, clothed in rags, with down
trodden shoes. and evidently worn out and very
i'll, appear in their midst Her Won Bonstertin
ordered his servants to eject tho intruder. But
the man slowly dragged his way to the host and
exclaimed: 'sSir, / am dying of hunger; have
come to beg you for shelter. am Carnot!"
The music ceased the dancing stopped, and
everybody crowded eagerly around the great
exile of the LIST of September. Herr Won Bonstet-
tin led him into another room where he gave
him change of clothes and supper. On the
following day he received money and passport
from the High and Mighty Lords of Berne"
which was then the most aristocratic of repub-
lies. to continue his melancholy Odyssey. When
Carnot. some years later, was Minister of War
under the First Consul, he learned that Victor
Won Bopstettin had been banished from Berne
He invited his old benefactor to Paris, where
the Swiss exile enjoyed the hospitality of Napo-
leon Bonaparte.
