Wrath of a Paris Communist.
From the Philadelphia Press.
A gentleman TRANQUILITY smoking cigar
was lesurely strolliug by the magnificent
magasins of the Marche du Temple, in
Paris, recently, when he stopped to care
tasty admire the particularly artistic ar
rangement Of certain display" window.
He had been so engaged but a few moments
when he was startled TO find the air of his
immediate vicinity bombarded by a rapid
and vigorously delivered volley Of oaths
By his side there stood an unshaven. I'M
kempt and ragged citizen, the index finger
of whose right hand, steadily moving up
and down in unison with innumerable pro-
fame explosives, pointed toward a. fashion
card which rested in the midst of an ele-
CANT confusion OF bijouterie profusely dis
played behind the handsome plate-glass
window.
Reading the card, the gentleman discov-
cred that it bore the announcement of the
latest things in toilet-for dogs. Four
charming costumes we're commended for
the adornment Of the canine pets OF the
danes Of the fashionable world, as follows
For the morning, a wrapper of fine flannel,
white or blue, as preferred, with collar to
contrast; aud for the promenade, a softly
lined blanket of English cheviot striped or
dotted with white; over this cloak, cut
long and gathered close about her breast

was to be decked out in all the glory of soft

blazoned upon the animals collar.
The gentleman drew a long breath, and
felt sorry for dead and gone Solomon.
Then he again turned to glanced at the pro-
fame man but he was rapidly passing out Of
sight down the Rue des Archives to the lie
de la Cite, via which he would cross the
Seine. and SO disappear in the heart Of Mon
trouge. or in the shadows beyond. As the
forlorn looking wretch moved rapidly and
nervously on, he drew his rags closely
about him. for the wind blew shrewdly and
searchin Zly; and the time that index finger
kept monobonously moving up AID down,
doubtless still to the accompaniment OF bad
words.
The well-dressed lounger, turning to make
his way through the swarm Of handsomely
clothed shoppers and brilliant equipages,
which made pavement and roadway alike
almost impossible, was politely accosted by
an observing policeman, who, pointing to
the ragged citizen, now nearly out OF sight,
said:
''Discontented character, sir; under DO
lice supervision, and believed to have been
mixed up with the commune OF I'll.
So after twenty years and more. it seems
that there are in great and rich Paris and
notwithstanding Rthe republic. those who
nurse their wrath to keep it warm.
