And, ludeed, when, after a few minutes’ rest, I again passed through the charming little town which to-day attracts so much attention, I found a number of streets already full of peo- ple. There were groups of new arritals, some resting on the curbstones, others {niprovising o tollet at the fountains, many enjovliy the pro- visions they had taken the precaution of bring. ing with them. Jn seurner of the Place de la Carriere, at the foot of the statue of Jucques (allot, a group of four or five peas- ants in the picturcaque costume of the Alsatians, plpe in mouth, were conversing in undertones.

When T returned to the scorched tenement In which I bad found a refuge it was nearly 7 o'clock; cannon were being fired off, the ehurch- bells began to ring, crowds were filing the streets, and the sele commenced in carnest. Groups collected’ round the bills announcine the programme of the day, talking of the almoat. legendary “petit Thiers,” as the Lorrainers call him, Lorrainers and Alsatlans from over the border narrating how things get along there to groups of French peasants. Others were talking of the arrival of tha five Ministers and the enthusiaam M. Thiers’ memory evokes, They are unaware’ that the Bre Ministers who have come to Nancy have come, it 1s said, to strugele against the eloquence of M. Jutca Simon, who now, by a change strange even in this country of changes, has placcd himeclf on the platform of true liberty to combat the fl- Nbera} tendencies of Cinuse 7, und laa be cone the leader and hope of the real Liberals. By a singular yet foevitable logic of events, Clause 7, indeed, has ceased to be the line of deinareation between Catholics aud antl Catholics, and hes become the battle-tleld ba- tween the moderate and the ylolent Republic-, ans, No occasion or spot could ba more pro- pitious than the Nancy festlval, the unvellluy of the statue of M. Thiers, who declared that vic- tory would be to the most prudent, and that the Republic could ‘exist only on conditfon of mod- eration, It {a natural that the erection of the firat statuo ralscd bv Franco to Thiers’ memory ehould mark the treat measuring of strength between the Moderate Liberals and the Fepublican absolutists. It {6 this which bas manda the Nancy festival a reol event. ‘The man whose statue is unveiled, the founder ofa Republic singularly modified tn the hands of luis successors, had a horror of all violence and repression.
