NJ. Casimir-Perier was born in 1847.
Like the lamented President Carnot,
whom he succeeds, he came of a distin-
guished ancestry. His great-great grand
father was a notary, living near Greuo-
BILE, who, dying, left son, Jacques, a
tradesman of Lyons. The latter left a
fortune of S!25, coo to his son, Claude, a
long headed and enterprising speculator,
who in the troublOus days before the rev.
olution contrived to amass colossal cap
ital, part of which he invested in the
splendid Chateau of While. After the
terror he came TO Paris, where he helped
to found the Bank of France, and sat in
the corps legislatif. This worthy left
eight sons 1t was the fourth of his chill
dren, Casimir who was destined to es-
tablish the political fortunes of the fam
lily on prouder basis than heretofore.
He was man of indomitable energy and
strong but honorable ambition; in person
a giant, with a voice of thunder, a
bitter style of eloquence, and coarse,
even brutal, manner. lie played con-
siderable part in the opposition after the
restoration, and his policy as president of
the council under Louis Philippe is a
matter of history. In 1882 he visited the
cholera hospital with the Due d'Orleans,
father of the Comte de Paris, caught the
infection and died Auguste, his younger
DrOL0tE, duODJCu
his father as part of his surname, and
was known as Auguste Casimir-Perier.
In 1916 he was returned for one of the di-
visions of Paris, and in 1S49 he repre-
sented the department of the Aube in the
legislative assembly. During the empire
he held absolutely aloof from public
affairs, but in 1871 gave in his adhension
to NJ. Theirs, who made him minister of
the interior. His death took place in
1876.
His son M. Casimir-Perier, though
thorough republican, may be regarded as
belonging to the Orleanist school of poll
tics. that school which holds that liberty
stands in need of the corrective of order,
and whose ideal in all things VAS well ex-
pressed by the phrase in fashion in the
days of Louis Philippe, the "Juste Mil
leu" NJ. Casimir-Perier, in the early por-
tions of his career, was conscious that his
ancestral connection with the Orleans
dynasty was not lightly to be ignored. In
1882 when law was passed excluding all
the members oil the families who had
reigned over France from all civil and
military Offices, he showed his sense of
that law of prescription by resigning his
seat ASIA member of the chamber. His
Immediate reelection showed that his
constituents approved his conduct.
During the siege of Paris M. Casimir-
Perier distinguished hlmseI as conf
mander of battalion of Mobiles. He was
mentioned in general orders for one ddr-
ing feat. He rescued one of his wounded
comrades under very heavy lire in an al
fair in front of the redoubt Of Moulin Sa-
ouet He is a man Of great energy, and
the fact that he appointed M. Raynal to
be his minister of the interior shows that
he is not to be swayed by the clamor OF
the radical and revolutionary press, as M.
Raynal. who belongs to the Jewish falthl
is the bette noir of the anti-Semitic and
revolutionary press NJ. Casimir-Perier
was elected president of the Chamber OF
Deputies in November last, and fort
night later became prime minister.
