brought TO light. The authors called on the
BrctOns to rise in revolt against an atheistical
Republic, and to make war on il by every means
in their power. All the means that science placed

came of God. II was holy unholy, according to

The French Republic is on very different terms
from what il was seven years ago with the King
and Queen of Denmark. That royal couple rather
frowned at Republican France. They chose an
Orleanist Princess for the bride Of their youngest
son. and the Queen, on coming 10 France TO he
present at the wedding, held a reception 10 which
all the noble and wealthy personages hostile to
! the Republic focked. She went 10 grand
hunting party at Chantilly and refused on the
prctence OF being here incognito 10 see W. Grevy,
who had the civilty to offer 10 call on her. Since
the visit of Admiral Gervais TO Cronstadt and
Copenhagen, and the last visit of the Crown Prince
and Princess of Sweden to Paris. all this changed.
VI. Carnot received from the King not long ago
the Grand Cross of the ancient order of the Ele-
plant and his son that of the order of the
Danbrog. The President the occasion of the
golden wedding will send the King and Queen q
copy in Gobeln tapestry of Baudrys Autumn
and Winter" one of the loveliest decorative
paintings of the modern French school, and two
Bcauvais tapestries of rare beauty and great
value representing green landscapes copied from
paintings of Francois. These works of art are
TO either for screens or for easy chairs
for the aged King and Queen. NJ. Carnot viii
also send letter of congratulation the golden
wedding which will be at once family and .
national fete.
Clubland has been good deal excited about
baccarat scandals Two members Of an arisocntic
and wealthy club have been expelled for pre-
senting a card sharper. They are both bearers
OF titles and men Of high family and good
fortune. The fact OF their being turned out il
a stigma on them. If they were supposed to have
been taken in by the backlog. a step so rigorous
would not have been taken against them | fancy
