Post once. Messrs. Maginnis, Boiseau and others
opposed the motion. Mr.. w. j. Gary, stating that
the position had already been promised 10 Mr..

During the Siege of Paris.

4 recent exhibition Of French carica
lures and comic drawings brought TO the
public eye once more the evidences Of tho
fact that Partisan gayety was not to be
suppressed even by the terrible siege thai
the capital went through from the Ger
man army. One of these caricatures.
published during the siege, was made 10
represent fashion plate various elegant
ladies and gentlemen were pictured going
about wrapped in mattresses, and under
meath the picture was the legend: Fash
Ions for the bombardment season" Most
of these pleasantries of the siege turned
upon the scarcity of food-a grim subject
which seemed particularly inspiring TO
the caricaturist of the time. 4 servant
asks his master: Shall put the horses
IN the carriage today, or in the barouche?"
: m, says the master, signing. Won
may put them in the oven, pleased" Not
unlike this is another caricature repre-.
senting servant making the familiar an.
nouncement to his mistress: The horses
are ready madame" What yes
madame-they are on the tablet" Such
Pleasantries seem scarcely to have been a
laughing matter to the people who went
through those fearful scenes. but the
Parisians must laugh at something. and
these pictures prove that they could not
think of stopping their gayety on account
OF such passing incident as siege and
