PARIS, Dec. 1.-The town house Of
Prince ana Princess Joachim Murat,
placed at the disposal OF President and
Mrs. Wilson during their stay In Paris
at the request OF the Government,
soon will be completely renovated and
ready to receive the American Chief
Executive and his wife.
The Rue de Monceau, in which the
house is situated, while one OF the
most fashionable neighborhoods Of
Paris, contains oil sorts of houses.
Adjoining the Murat house on the
right is the Ste. Marie Institution, a
large school for children. consisting Of
many buildings aud a playground.
Across the street lives a woman artist
and n physician, and there are Il
group Of Offices and a butcher shop.
On the corner there is the familiar
little French cafe. with a few iron
tables and chairs on the sidewalk in
front, and where signs announce
that wine and beer are for sale.
Although the Murat mansion Ia
rapidly becoming known as La
Naison Blanche de Paris" 1t Is not

house itself is hidden from the street
by stone wall ten feet high, in which
there are two little narrow wooden
gates, besides a big double door for
vehicles in the centre.
Spacious Grounds at side.
Inside the gates is a large gravelled
space on which the house itself fronts
and in which the guard OF honor will
be stationed. A low ornamental iron
fence on the side away from the school
separates the court from the spacious
grounds and gardens stretching away
for half a. block. all of which are en-
closed by the same stone wall. but
where the gardens begin a twenty foot
lattice on which dense banks OF ivy
grow has been erected. The wall
gives complete privacy.
Broad Rravelled walks wind through
green lawns under trees Of great size.
A stroll around the gardens gives a
view OF elaborate conservatories az
the rear Of the house In which large
purple grapes and all kinds of flowers
grow. At the rear also are the SER

outbuildings, which are reached by a

hUINED BY THEIR FREEDOM
Of the Emancipated People of
Athens.

On memorable occasion the assem-
bled Athenians declared 1t monstrous
that they should be prevented from do
ing whatever they chose. No force
that existed could restrain them; and
they resolved that no duty should re-
strain, them, and that they would be
bound by no laws that were not Of
their own making In this way the
emancipated people of Athens became
a tryant; and their government, the
pioneer Of European freedom, stands
condemned with a terrible unanimity
by oil the. wisest Of the ancients. They
ruined their city by attempting to con-
duct war by debate In the market
place. Like the French republic, they
put their successful commanders to
death. They treated their dependen-
cies with such. injustice that they lost
their maritime empires. They plum
dered the rich until the rich conspired
with the public enemy, and they crown
ed their guilt by the martyrdom of
Socrates.-LOrd Acton's Essays.
