Boulanger's Supporters Receive q Nominal
Punishment-Revision Give Banquet.
PARIS, April 6.-The correctional tribu-
nal to-day acquitted Senator Naquet,
Deputies Laguerre, Laisant, Turques and
Paul Deroulede, leaders of the Patriotic
League, and two other members of that
organization, of the charge of belonging to
a secret society. but imposed fine of 100
francs each upon them for belonging to a
society not authorized by law. The crowd
outside of the courtroom received the an
nouncement of the result of the trial with
cries of "Vive la Ligne.' ''Vive BOulan-
ger,v and "Vive Deroulede."
The revisionist committee gave a grand
banquet this evening at which one thou
sand guests were present. General Bou-
LANCER was to have presided. In his absence
Senator NaQuet read speech which had
been prepared by BOulanger for the occa-
sion. In it the General promised that, on
attaining power, he would proclaim a gen.
eral amnesty, and would abrogate the exile
law, which. he said, a strong government
did not need. He denounced what he termed
the miserable motives that had actuated
the government with respect to the rescind-
ing of the decree of exile against the Due
d'Aumale. This action of the government
would have met with his approval If it had
been dictated by generous sentiment. He
declared that he pitied NJ. Antoine. who
was merely the tool of the Opportunists.
Regarding Alsace-L Lorraine, he said it ap-
peared to be q criminal offense to discuss
questions relating to that province.

Lord Salisbury had no doubt that definite

on his expedition. beyond the most san.

of opening up the country for civilization.

The Chancellor's Proposed Measure for Re-
straining the Vicious Editors.
Copyright 1883, by the New York Associated Press1
BERLIN, April 6.-The Bundesrath, at
plenary sitting to-day, reconsidered the
press laws and recommitted them to the
commission, with important notifications.
The committee had previously reported
that they were divided on the proposals,
and that there was no possibility of their
reaching an agreement. The representa-
tives of Saxony and Bavaria protested that
the operation of the law, if the proposed
measures should be passed by the Reichs-
tag, would create discomfort and imperil
public order. The opposition, combined
with the representations of Herr Won Ben
nigsen and other National Liberal leaders,
appears to have induced the Emperor to
assent to Prince Bismarck's urgent request
for a remodeling Of the law.
The articles designating as
penal offense hostile criticims of
the government, the monarchy, the institu-
tion of marriage, the rights of property and
the church will be amended. The exact
form of the new law will not be revealed
until the commission have finally reported.
Prince Bismarck, in an interview with Herr
Miguel and Herr Won Bennigsen, indicated
that the bill in the form in which it would
probably be presented to the Reichstag
would leave free for discussion social topics
such as the family, the religion and prop
erty, and permit theoretical analysis of
political questions, retaining the articles
making it penal offense to incite hate of,
or contempt for. the government and the
calumny of officials. The clauses providing
for the suppression of offending papers and
the expulsion from the country of con-
demned editors viii also be retained. The
Reichstag will not consider the bill until
after Easter. The expulsion clause meets
with fierce opposition.

The Law at Last Comes to the Relief of a
Woman Who Was Wronged by Her Brother.

CHICAGO, April Ga novel suit has just
been decided by Judge Clifford. after liti-
cation lasting several years in different
Alexander, an elderly spinster of Brattle-
borO, VT, against the estate of f. S. Alexan-
der, her brother, wealthy Chicagoan, now
deceased. The litigation grew out of al
legged breaches of agreements made by the
deceased with his sister upwards of twenty
years ago. According to the statements
made by Miss Alexander and evidence
gwen by numerous witnesses, whose deposi-
tiOns were taken in Boston and other Mas
sachusetts cities. she was, at the time of
making the first agreement, teacher of
music of acknowledged reputation and abil-
ity. Her brother was anxious to have her
return to the house of their aged parents
in Brattleboro, who, he thought, needed
her care. He offered to pay her $1,000 a
year, or as much as she could earn by teach
ing music, if she would assume the care of
the old folks. She accepted, and for q
number of years took care of them. About
three or four years before the death of her
brother Miss Alexander was about to be
married, when he wrote to her urging her
not to marry and leave her parents, but to
stay with them. He agreed to pay her an
additional 10000 If she would remain with
her parents as long as they lived. With
this promise before her she rejected her
lover and the wedding was declared off,
Miss Alexander remained an old maid and
cared for her father and mother in their de-
clining years. The old people are still alive
and enjoying good health. Up to his death
Alexander did not even keep his promise to
pay his sister the 81 900 year he had agreed
to pay her, and, except few small sums of
money, which she used for the. common
support of herself and parents, she
received nothing. Alexander made no
provision in his will for the payment of the
81 1000 a year, or of the $4,000 promised
her. She filed her claim against the estate,
but it was disallowed by the Probate Court.
and an appeal was taken to the Circuit
Court. The case was before Judge Clifford,
and upon the evidence verdict was given
for Sal 500 against the. estate in favor of
Miss Alexander for theS 900 a year and the

tor at Cincinnati, O. lie served as a
private soldier during the war of the
rebellion and hence knows something
about soldier life. In the course Of
an eloquent lecture at Jackson, Mich
igan, this eloquent pulpit orator de-
pioted in forcible terms the suffer
ings Of the Union soldiers on the
field and in the prison pens and said:
"Then you wonder why these old
soldiers want pensions. You say:
Didn't the government pay all it
agreed to ? Yes, Sill or SI3 a

the future world before me and the
love of my wife and children in my
heart, that I would not be hired for
hire to go into one great battle again
for all the gold that this great gov
eminent could give; and no man who
sets a value on human life could be
hired to 90 into battle; but for the
love of country, 100000 brave men
could be marshaled within thirty
days to fight to the death for free
dom and liberty. Then talk of pay!
When the boy has paid his mother
for the pains of his birth, her days
and nights of care and suffering,
heartaches, furrowed brow and white
hair, then, and not until then, can
this government pay its soldiers in

All that a son can do for his mother
in way of compensation is to show
adequate appreciation and that is all
the government can do for its sol

the most important and intellectually
progressive period of human history.
Within the last century, according
to the Homiletic Review, the follow
inventions and discoveries have been
made: Ocean steamships, street

hydraulic elevators, vestibule ears,
cantilever bridges. All positive
knowledge of the physical constitu-

has been attained within this time.
The century has been a great one,

in the reflection The number Of those
who are tempted to initiate, or try to

ease and statcliucss in his style. has
dwindled down to one or two assiduous
but not over-fortunate disciples.
1t by no means follows, however. that
because it has ceased to be a model, it
has in any degree lost its attractive
ness. 1t is no dishouor to a vanished
hero that no survivor presumed to
WELD his sword. Macaulay's style
was perfect from the pen of Macaulay,
but it was not one that could be repro
duced by lesser men at will. "Soall
