Paris, Aug. 25.-The French people

ting mixed up with the sharp claws
of the league Of the rights of man.
which proposes to fight the police at
every turn wherever, they interfere
with the sacred claims of individual
liberty" The leagues cause for COM
plant is as follows: Among the large
Russian colony in Paris there are 800
Nihilists, mostly quiet, peaceable stu
dents at the Sorbonne, none of whom
is known to have committed any act of
violence in the carrying out of the
ideas. Nevertheless the prefecture of
police issued an order
Forbidding These Nihi1ists
from leaving their houses during the
presence of Gar Nicholas in France.
This order is accompanied by the
warning that if they are found on the
streets they will be dealt, with sum-
marily. The league intends to prevent
such a travesty on justice by any
means in it's power and will go, if nee
essary, even to the forming Of cohort
to protect the Nihilists While on the
streets.
The president of the league of the
rights of man said: 1T looks as if the
shameful and humiliating ignomies
perpetrated during the czars visit in
1896 are to be repeated If SO, warn
the police that the imperial sojourn
instead of a triumph may prove a
scandal. This society condemns all
kinds of violence, but particularly Off

Persons interested in wild flowers
are endeavoring to create-and to Or
ganize-a sentiment for the protection
of our native plants, especially near
large cities. The pond-lily, trailing
arDutus, native orchids, fringed gen
tian and many of the evergreens have
been gathered in Massachusetts for
sale in such quantities, and so steadily
sought by frequenters of suburban
woods, that their extinction is threat
ened. The remedy suggested is that
care be used to cut rather than pull
the flowers, so that the roots need not
be disturbed; and that those who
gather rare plants for the market
should be discouraged by lack OF
patronage.
