TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Birthday of Danton, French Revolutionist- Oct. &c

To-day is the birthday Of Danton, In
1859, one OF the men. more than any other.
whom the French revolution threw TO
the surface and realized the full popular
idea of a reyOlutionist. He was born at
Arcis -sur-Aube OF well-to-dO farming
people. and was educated for lawyer.
In person he was almost gigantic-tall
and muscular His head was largo and
covered with stiff black hair. His fea-
lures were bold and irregular, and by
some called ugly; but when lit UP by the
fire OF his intellect their coarseness dis
appeared in harmony.
Danton's voice is said 10 have been
powerful-in the outbursts OF his oratory.
terrible-and was likened to thunder and
a lions roar. He began practicing law
in Paris. and. having revolutionary tend
encies, which wers easy 10 foster at the
time he sought out the acquaintance Of
such men as Mirabeau, Robespierre. and
Marat He lived economically and spent
his days IN the assembly and his nights
at the clubs
Danton attached himself 10 the Giron-
dists, and says Lemartine; Mime. Roland
flattered him. but with fear and repug-
nance, as a lamb would pet lion"
Daily. however, he grew in popularity.
Tho court sought his influence by brides.
and in the pride Of his strength he ex-
claimed. = shall save the king or Kill
him.
The revolution. however, was greater
than Danton. He who would live IN II
was forced TO run with 1t or be trampled
in its path. After the flight OF Louis he
advocated his dethronement. When Prus-
STA, in 1892, invaded France in vindication
OF royalty, and spread terror on every
side, Dlnton, by his brave words, gave
courage to the nation. Legislators,
said he. 1T is not the alarm cannon that
you hear: IL is the 'pas-de-charge' against
our enemies. To conquer them, TO hurl
them back, what do We require? To
dare. and again to dare, and without end
to darer'
In few weeks fourteen republican
armies were in the field, repeling the
allied forces with a vigor and success
which set Europe aghast In the course
of events Robespierre and Danton came
face TO face as rivals for the Leadership
of Paris and in France. Danton was
luxurious, reckless, generous, and frank;
on the other hand, Robespierre was as
celtic. cold. severe. cautious, and uncom-
