CATCHY SONG OF RIOTERS.

CATCHY SONG OF RIOTERS.
The Carmagnole, which the thous-
ands OF rioters sang in Paris Sunday
night, is French song and dance of
the revolutionary era. 1t greatly con-
tributed to exasperate the people
against Louis XVI. and Marie Antoin-
nette, who were lampooned in 1t as
Monsieur and Madame Veto The mobs
in the streets during the revolutionary
era danced to the music of the song
amid the widest enthusiasm, which
was equally displayed in the theaters
and on the battle field when it was
played by the military bands. 1t was
suppressed by Bonaparte after the es-
Enlistment of the consulate. The
name is said to have originated from
the walsteoat worn by the Marseilles
men who took a conspicuous part in
the Instruction of August 10, 1892, the
song appearing soon afterward; but
the name Of its author remained un-
known. The songs name was also ap-
piled TO the costume of the terroristss
to the most violent Jacobins and to the
soldiers of the republic. The waist
coat thus called is said to have origi-
mated in Carmagnole, near Turin, It.
ally. The first stanza of the song, in
French, will give an idea of the catchy
jingle. 1t is as follows:
Madame Veto await promis,
Madame Veto await promis,
De faire egorger tout Paris,
De faire egorger tout Paris!
Mais lie coup manque!
Grace nos cannonniers.
Dansons la carmagnolei viye lie son,
vive lie sonl
Dansons la carmagnole! Vive lie son.
du canon!
An English translation of the en-
tire song, which, of course, lacks the
French jingle and rhyme, is as fol-
