to its slightly situation and 10 the cap
rice Of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who
built there one OF the famous palaces
of the world. That was two hundred
and fifty years ego. Until then, Yer
sailles was a mere hamlet standing in
the midst Of a royal hunting park.
King Louis made il the virtual capital
of the greatest power IN Europe. As
long as the Bourbon kings ruled, Ver-
sailles was the real centre of the social
and political life in France. The ar
mistice that ended our own Revolution
ary War was signed in IN, royal palace
at Versailles, for the French were then
our allies. -,
The French Revolution may be SAID
TO have begun at Versailles, for there
the States General met in May OF l'Ss,
and there was taken the famous oath OF
the Tennis Court, when the members
Of the Assembly vowed never to adjourn
until they had given constitution TO
France. Before long the rcNcluion
outgrew Versailles, and the Assembly
moved TO Paris, twelve miles away.
That was the beginning Of lc:e perlod

the capital of France until 1879, and
the presidents of France must still be
elected BY the National Assembly meet

Her Heart Spoke in Her VIII

Sentiment prevailed TO q large ex'
tent throughout the will OF Miss Mary
Gusts Lee, the last surviving child OF
Gen. Robert E. Lee, which was fled
for probate last week. This spirit
seemed to have actuatci her IL all of
her bequests, and was quite apparent
whenever reference was made to en-
dearing ties of childhood or where the
subject OF memorials 20 her dlstn-
guished father was given consideration.
In giving $4,000 to the o.t Christ
Church at Alexandria, Va, she said:
81 bequeath $4,000 to Christ Church
in Alexandria, Va, for its preservation,
improvement and current expenses of
the church but with the same reserva-
fion as to its clergyman's salary, which
should be raised by the congregation
themselves. II was the old church Of
my parents and grandparents and OF
my own childhood, and is associated
with many OF my happiest days"
In connection with her tequest Of
$1,000 for the preservation of her
fathers monument in Richmond, Va,
she makes these observations:
"CoI. Cutshaw, now dead, was form
erly the official that had it in charge,
and do not know who succeeded him
but whoever he is, know he will be 4
Virginian, TO whom it will be a labor
OF love TO care for this monument, and
who may be trusted to expend the mon
ey carefully and judiciously. Per-
sonally have always wished the re-
moval of the green pantine, or what
ever its technical name and the bronze
restored to its pristine color, as is the
case OF most OF the monuments in
Europe much older than this one. In
the beginning it might easily have been
done and at moderate cost, bu. now

Our friend Vim. H. Staley, Of Selma.
California, writes us an interesting let
ter in renewing his subscription to the
Register. Mr.. Staley was formerly
resident OF this vicinity, and though he
has lived in the far West for many years
he still retains his regard for the old
home community and his friends here.
He rejoices that the war is over, but
says that Fresno county lost many good
men, some of them close friends of his
family. The influenza is playing havoc
again. Last fall for six weeks almost
everything in the town was closed UP by
the epidemic. Then it blew over for ;
few weeks, only to return as bad as
ever. Mr.. Staley's family has escaped
it so far and we hope that none of them
may contract the disease.

Topeka, Kansas, writes us as follows:
