THE MARSEILLAISE.'
Romance of the Famous Song of
France-Its Composer
From London Tit-Bits.

From london TitBits.
The full story of the origin Of the
national war song of France is one of
peculiar interest, and provides a re.
markable illustration of that inspira-
tIon which sometimes leads Il man to
compose masterpiece on the spur of
the moment. 1t is fairly well known
that the words and music of The
Marseillaise" were written and COM
posed in 1892 by Rouget de Lisle. Off
GER of engineers at Strasburg: but the
circumstances which led De Lisle TO
write the song in single night are
not very familiar.
De Lisle's poetical and musical gifts
had given him access to wide circle
of friends in Strasburg, with whom he
was great favorite. One of these was
the mayor of the city. Baron Dietrich.
at whose table De Lisle happened to
be dining one evening in 1892 The
baron's resources had been so greatly
reduced by the misfortunes of war that
the only dinner he could give his guests
consisted of 4 few slices of ham and
some bread
Dietrich, apoloeizing for the meal
offered to bring forth his last bottle Of
Rhine wine if it would inspire De Lisle
in the writing OF a patriotic song. The
bottle of wine was sent for, and after
dinner De Lisle returned to his room,
and there and then composed the words
and music of song which he called
The War Song of the Army Of the
Rhine" The next morning he took IL
to the baron. in whose house it was
first sung, and excited much enthusi-
aSm.
Some few days after this it was per-
formed III public at Strasbure, and
June % it was sung at a banquet al
Marseiile, and made such an impress
sion that it was forthwith printed and
circulated among the volunteers of the
battalion just starting for Paris. The
soldiers entered the capital singing it
and calling it the Chant deS Mar
seilles.' the words and tune soon be-
coming as familiar as household words
all over France.
The Marseillaise played an impor-
tant part in the French revolution, and
had such a magic influence on the peo-
pie that when its strains were heard
men left their work and ran to join
the ranks of the republican army.
