boarding the savate in its den, and placed
myself under the chaperonage of Mr..
Hurst, whose spirited sketches explain
the antics of this art so much better than
any words of mine can. Mr.. Hurst is an
enthusiastic admirer of the savate, which
is the more remarkable as he is an Eng
lishman, who has spent some years in
America, and naturally had all the preju-
dice of the swo countries against the kick.
He led me through a labyrinth of those
passages which Paris has provided herself
with for the manifest purpose of bewilder-
ing a stranger. Beginning with the Pass

scending its steps, crossing q small street

therefore, there was no vice president to
inaugurate with Pierce. Such emergency,
however. is provided for, since no one APP
pearing to be sworn in as vice president,
the senate has the right to elect its own
presiding officer. But suppose that instead
OF King Franklin Pierce had died, after he
had been declared elected by the Senate
and House in Joint session, but before in
auguration day. Then there would be no
president to inaugurate and the Office
would be vacant. and lawyers and MEM
bers of the judiciary committees, who
gave much thought to this matter. were
very doubtful whether the vice president
elect could take the office. He can only
under the constitution assume il after the
death, resignation or disability of presi-
dent; but no president had died,
resigned or was disabled in this
ssnppositious case. Senator George f.
Hoar, who gave the matter very
careful consideration, was of the opinion
that it could not be reached by statute.

tional amendment. 1.-The electoral coli

resentatives could not meet again in joint
convention and declare some one else
elected, since their only Office while max
ing such declaration is to count the cleo
toral vote returned to them"
Mr.. Blaine has said that this emergency
should by provided for, and that congress
should make it it's. first duty to prevent
any such lapse as is now possible. If the
emergency ever comes, 1t will occasion
very great anxiety and possible trouble.
Senator Hoar once in discussing this
matter declared that there was another
peril, and one from which the country
narrowly escaped in 1876. The disputed
election Of that year was only de-
termined by ultra-constitutional meth
DDS. Had there been any attempt
to flibustef the session of congress
might have expired without the declara-
ton as to the result having been made.
This declaration is as much part of the
complicated. machinery of presidential
electors as is the meeting of the electoral
college or the ballot box upon election
day.

though lacking the airy grace which has
since then been added and which makes
the savate a thing OF delight for nice
quiet drawing room entertainment.
Afterward the three Is did much to put
various ornaments on the old shoe. These
professors were Lozes of Toulouse, Lecour
of Paris, and Leboucher of Rouen. Staid
old London itself had something TO do with
the present formation OF the present bril-
liant French kick. Charles Lecour came
over to England TO learn what he could Of
English boxing, and took lessons from
Swift and Adams. In London Lecour
probably pranced around his room and in
vented new kicks to the establishment Of
the person who brought in his tea. Thus
did the French professors build up the
science of savate, adding a loving touch
here and modern improvement there,
until il has become q glittering and be-
wildering art that carries confusion into
the ranks of the enemy. We have now the
low kick on the SHIN, the heel kick on the
body. the toe kick on the side of the head,
and the ferocious tournant kick that, to
misquote Shakespeare. is ever so much
more blessed to give than 10 receive, bless
ing him who gives, but decidedly doing
the other thing for the man who takes.

The twenty-sixth National Encamp-
ment Of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, which will be held in Washing
ton, on Wednesday, September 81,
will probably be attended by 100000
men who participated in the War Of
the Rebellion. The encampment
proper, which will be held in Albaugh's
Opera House, is but small part Of the
reunion of old veterans.
The great parade to be held on
Tuesday. September 20, will probably
be the greatest demonstration that has
been made at the Capital since the re-
view of troops at the. close of the war.
The line will march on Pennsylvania
avenue from the Capitol grounds to
Washington Circle, distance Of two
miles, moving in double column. The
streets of Washington, being paved
with asphalt, afford smooth surface
for marching, and on this account it
is expected that the parade will be
larger than usual.
