French Politeness.

There is an agitation in France
against the fowery politeness which
winds up a letter. Frenchmen are
asking why they should write: "Ac-
cept the assurance Of my most distin-
guished sentiments and believe me
your very humble and obedient serv-
anti? 1t is long and abject. your
devoted" is considered more digni-
fed, as we'll as concise, If the person
addressed be man. But IL one is
writing to a woman he may be flow
cry still. There is story Of Victor
Hugo, who was listening to a speech
from an old republican colleague. The
orator addressed his audience con-
stantiy as "Citoyens, citioyens." At
last Hugo broke in. 81 am pretty
good republican" he said, but when
address a woman / call her my SOW.
ereign, my queen!" The company
seems to have taken this protest with
perfect gravity.

The prisons are now empty Marat
and Billaud issued, in the name OF the
municipality of Paris, a circular letter
to other municipal bodies urging them
to initiate what had been done in
Paris. In some cities the advice was
acted upon the prisoners murdered"
In August, 1898, the commune or
Paris sent an army Of 10000 men
against rebellious Lyons. The city,
after a prolonged siege and the en-
durance of innumerable woes, was
captured. The convention decreed
that it should be utterly destroyed,
and that over it's ruins should be
reared a monument with the inscrip
ton, Lyons made war upon liberty,
and, behold! Lyons is no more!" Six
thousand of the citizens of Lyons per-
ished in the massacre following the
capture of the city.

city's gates, and Danton secured the
passage Of an order for the hosting
of the "black flag of death" upon the
towers of the city hall.
Even as the voice of Danton had
echoed and re-echoed through the
great hall of the assembly" says His
torian Watson, "the shrek of doomed
prisoners rang wildly through the
streets. The September massacres
had begun. Some 200 butchers were
let loose upon the helpless men and
women huddled in the prisons and
told to wreak vengeance upon them
Commissions signed by municipal Off
GERS authorized suitable agents to hold
courts in the prisons, to deliver in
slant judgment and to have imme-
date execution done. The prisoners
are dragged from their cells, are halt
ed for a moment before this sham
tribunal, are examined with brevity
and are delivered over to the murder
ers, who stand ready at the door.
Death before the dishonor of swear
ing allegiance to the terrorists was
the answer of all heroic souls. Con-
duct madam out, says the judge, and
madam is led to the door, is struck,
is stabbed, is brutally beaten, till life
is gone; is hewn asunder, her head
fixed on a pike, her dripping heart

PEN PICTURE OF GEN. GRANT.
How Famous Soldier Looked in Early
DAYS of the War.

How Famous Soldier Looked in Early
Days of the War.
In Col. Clark Carr's 1.-THE Illini,"
the author tells how Gen. u. S. Grant
looked in the early days of the war:
while thus waiting l noticed gen.
tleman come down the gang plank
and approach us, seemingly for the
purpose of speaking to us. He was
of medium height, had broad and
rather rounded shoulders, auburn
hair, sandy whiskers, clear blue eyes,
very quiet, modest expression and
appeared to be perhaps little more
than 80 years of age. He wore
blue sack coat and blue trousers,
somewhat worn, but well brushed and
cared for, which l afterward learned
was the fatigue uniform of the Unit
cd States army. He was smoking
cigar, which he removed as he came
near us and raised his hat, but gave
us no other greeting. We soon saw
that instead of being interested in
rs he was interested in Roses Ken
lucky mare. He looked the mare over
With great interest for a considerable
time, pulling away at his cigar, but
without speaking. Then, again re-
moving his cigar and raising his hat,
he returned on board the boat"

Aue and Diplomacy,

While corporations are refusing to
employ men older than 80 years, Jo-
seph II. Choate, at the age of rs, is
to return to the active practice of
the law in New York city, says the
New York World. There are undoubt-
eddy many corporations, as well as
individuals, who will be glad to avail
themselves of Mr.. Choate's services,
despite the fact that he IS more than
twice as old as the age limit which
has been arbitrarily set by so many
employers.

Reid, is CT. So is Gen. Horace Por-

Cavalgnac. 1t was fearful slaughter
and the strikers and their sympathiZ-
ers were terrorized and for the time
subdued. The commander of the
troops, "Cavaignac the bloody" was
named for president of the republic,
but was overwhelmingly defeated by
Louis Napoleon, the man whom a
coup detat afterward made the en-
peror of France.
Among the bloody deeds perpetrat-
ed in France in the days of the COM
nune following the great revolution of
1889 a foremost place in history is
given to the massacre in the fields
of Mars" Sunday, July II, 1871.
That day petition was to be signed
asking the national convention to ar
raign for trial the craven king, Louis
XVI, who had fled in terror from
Paris. Rumors of riot and carnage at
the place where the petition was be-
ing signed, the Field of Mars, reached
Danton, Marat, Robespierre and the
other revolutionary leaders, and La
Fayette was sent with troops to quell
the disturbance. Stones and mud were
thrown at the soldiers and they fired
into the dense unarmed mass, killing
and wounding.
"The slaughter was great, the panic
complete" says Thomas E. Watson in
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1905-03-11

dren among the slain, to whom 1t had
been Sabbath outing. The petition
was scattered, but its leaves were
gathered up, and they are now to be
seen among the archives Of France"
In the reign of terror following this
great revolution in France occurred
the so-called September massacres,"
the victims being 5000 prisoners con-
fined in the dungeons of Paris by the
revolutionists. They comprised no
bles, priests, anti-revolutionists and
victims of private malice. The COM
mune reported that the Prussians
were marching on Paris, were at the

Massacres of defenseless people are
recorded in the history of many ma
tions, but there are only few such &C.
currences affording anything like a
real parallel to the slaughter OF Rus
sian workingmen by the troops of the
car at st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.
In the French revolution of 1915
the first great uprising of wage-earn-
ers and hence described in history
as the first revolution brought about
by economics"-a large crowd of
workingmen were fired upon in mid
summer in the streets of Paris by
troops under the command of Gen.
