someone noted the fact tNt an ami

France was near. The government
took cognizance of the fact and a call

come to Paris.
The old man, trembling with en-

presented himself at the Tuileries he
found the greatest men of France had
assembled in his honor. The presi-

senate and the chamber of deputies
paid tribute to him. Paris was iiu-
minated I'm his honor. His praises
were sung by poets and statesmen.
The grand cross of the Legion of
Honor was bestowed upon him. and
he was hailed as n OF the noblest

And then, when It was all over. he
was escorted back to his home by a
