Legion of Honor, which Napoleon organ
lied while that most transitional of govern

ly to French Instincts has survived all the
changes through which France has passed
since that time, and its bit of red ribbon is
still considered q sufficient reward for most
important services to the state. Napoleon
Ill bestowed the decoration so widely and
with SO little regard for the character of
the men whom he made chevaliers that for
while the order fell into some disrepute.
Toward the close Of that unfortunate mon
members, besides all those who had been
decorated as soldiers. TIC restore the pres
tige OF the order, an act was passed in 1872
providing that only one new cheyalier
should be nomina ted for every two vacan-
cieS caused by death. The effect has been
to reduce the number Of civil knights 10 10,-
600, but recent ministries have found the
awarding of the few favors of this sort at
more enemies than friends. The Meline
ca binet has solved the difficulty, for itself
at least, by Introducing and securing the
passage of law repeating the act OF 1S12,
ard substituting for 1t one fixing the num-
ber of civil knights permanently at 1900
There was a long debate in the chamber of
deputies on this bill, and the socialists op-
posed it fiercely, but the measure finally
passed by vote of 344 to 124.

states among the Allegheny mountains, was
much tormented by the influence of one

taught atheism and the abolishment of
marriage. On one occasion, while holding
a meeting in the woods in Virginia, a young
man and woman pushed their way up to
the stump which served as a pulpit. The

display of American sympathy in behalf Of
the Germans during the Franco-Prussan

horrors Of Russian prisons had been de-
scribed in american pictorial magazines,
and the popular Indignation awakened by
the recital, had effectuahy cooled the
