Pleaded with Madame Lockroy for his
Senegalese sharpshooters to have an op-
pCrtunity to visit Paris He told her that
the prospect was their great incentive to
exertion in the march across Africa
Whenever their courage tagged Marchand
cried TO them, Boys, another strong ef-
fort to make sure of seeing Paris" This
electrified them. They are now all at
ToulOn; and he told Madame Lockroy that
he strongly felt his promise should be
kept, and that their deep disappointment
prevented his enjoying himself Madame
Lockroy repeated what he said, ia king
across the table to her husband; and all
the company sympathized with the ex-
plorer. 1t is now settled that his brave
blacks are TO come to Paris The set-ul:t
of the table at luncheon was original.
charming and poetic. The floral decora-
tons were entirely of wild fiowers-blue,
red and white Madame Lockroy thought
Marchand and his companions would pre-
fer, after their long sojourn in Africa,
to any other. Wild oats and grasses lent
grace to the floral harmony.
Marchand looks a hero after Victor
Hugo's heart. He is silent, thoughtful
modest without bashfuness. He might
also be an American, so strong an i'm
preston does he give Of unaffected stole
ism and that dauntless firmness. His face
is deeply lined and careworn; but the
sweetness of his countenance is indie
scrbab,e. He seems gentleness itself
when the lines relax into a smile.

the "vegusros" or tobacco ra'sors by
virtue of Weyier's famous "or'!cn do
