Socialism has invaded the police of
the Elysee. The male domestics have
sent a petition to the chief of state
requesting permission to wear mus
tache. This petition sets forth the
right of every citizen Of the French
republic, no matter what his station,
to complete liberty and equality in the
matter of hirsute adornment, and
maintains that in democracy found
ed by sons of the revolution no man
was entitled to inf1ict badge of servi-
tude upon his neighbor. But NJ Fal-
Heres cannot acceede to the prayer of
his male servants without committing
gross violation of the protocol, says
the Boston Herald. All the male do
mestics at the ministries and embas-
sizes in Paris are obliged to keep their
upper lips free from hair. Why not
then regard the clean shave as the
height of fashion, as it is in this indie
pendent country? That might put a
new color on the sign Of servitude.

A Dire Threat.

II is well known that certain vaga-
bonds desire nothing better especial
ly when the cold weather comes on,
than to be arrested and locked up, in
order that they may be taken care of
a while. One of this fraternity sue
ceeded in getting himself arrested for
vagrancy, and on the way to the lock
up he was so much overjoyed by the
prospect of not having to sleep in the
open air that he behaved somewhat
boisterously.
