Some Frenchmen have a playful way of pouncing upon foreigners against whom a claim of debt can be concocted, and of using insolent policemen and prison- cells as means of terrifying the victims into the payment of what is sometimes nothing more than black-mail. In 1855 Horace Greeley had an experience which resembles in some respects the Mentone incident. He had been one of the directors of the New York World’s Exposition of 1852-3, and while visiting the French Expo- sition in 1855 with his wife and children he was arrested at the instance of a Parisian sculptor who swore that he had contributed to the New York exposition # statue in plaster which had been broken or mutilated, and for which he de- manded of Greeley as a director $2,500. When he was brought before the judge, the latter in- dicated that Don Piatt, secretary of the Ameri- can legation, would be a sufficient security for Greeley's appearance, but after the judge had gone away the sculptors lawyer refused to take Piatt as security on the ground of his exemption asa diplomat from arrest on local process, and after “high words” and imminent danger of a scuffle the wrathy editor was whisked off to prison. His guardians affected great fear lest he should eseape, and when the carriage in which he was driven to jail came into violent colli- sion with another in acrowded street they made an impressive display of vigilance and pistols. He was kept separated from his wife and children and locked up in Clichy, the debtors’ prison, with sympathizing jail-birds from Saturday till Monday afternoon. ‘The case against him died the moment it came toa hearing. The real demand in his case, as apparently in the Mentone case, was not that he should pay a debt, but that he should pay somuch money to be saved insult and imprisonment. The extortion seems tohave been successfully practiced upon the frightened and defenceless women, while it failed im its application to the obstinate philsopher with his hot temper and exuberant wealth of expletives. The old hornet broke through the web which held the flies. But Greeley did not relish the discipline which he resisted, and took no great pride in being dragged to jail at the pistol point as if he were a desperate criminal. Ther» is an undercurrent of feeling in his apparently philosophical com- ment: “Let whoever will sneer at human progress and uneasy, meddling philanthropy, I am grateful that I have lived in the age which gave the death blow to slavery and im- prisonment for debt.” It may be discovered in the Mentone case asin that of 3.eeley that there is no serious national cause of complaint in the matter. It may appear that the sworn averments of the er made a case, which under the French law justified the detention of the Americans, and that the recourse of the latter is against the dressmaker on the charge of perjury, causing false imprisonment, The brutality of the officer in the manner of per- forming his duty may also become a ground of complaint against him individually, But what- ever the technical legality of the procedure in the case, it lies in the power of Americans to make the use of it adopted in this and similar instances as unpopular in France as it is offensive to our countrymen. In Greeley’s case the directors of the French Exposition then in progress were induced to take a lively interest in securing him fair treatment by the suggestion that if the ridiculous case against him as an _ exposition director were pushed they could never step foot outside of France after their own exposi- tion had closed without being in danger of the prison onsome trumped-up charge. The sug- gestion in the Mentone case is even more clear and pointed. Thousands of Americans are crossing to France in this exposition year, and are spending vast sums of money there, much ofit in purchases. The tradesmen of France cannot afford the check to this profitable cus- tom which will be threatened if American in- dignation at illegal, or, if not illegal, at any rate brutal treatment of Americans shill take practical shape. France, which wishes ‘o sell to the world, will not draw customers by per- mitting such treatment of unprotected women among the American visitors of her exposition, oo Patriots of ancient times held it to be sweet to die for one’s country. The people of the American Republic hold it also to be sweet and pleasant to honor by annual observances those who have thus died. To-day the graves of the Union's soldiers who fellin the civil war are decorated with flowers, and their deeds of courage and self sacrifice are recounted anew by the orator and the poet, The careful collec- tion and consignment to honored graves of the bones of private soldiers killed in war and annual observances by a whole people consecrating a holiday to the sacred duty of keeping fresh the memory of the na- tion’s patriot dead mark a more notable and more appropriate tribute to the mass of those who have found it sweet to die for country, than has been bestowed by any other nation. Else- where, as well as in the American republic, the memory of the great general has been kept alive by statue or triumphal arch; but nowhere else is the dead private soldier honored by the celebration of an annual holiday in which the nation lays a loving tribute on his grave. The conception of the memorial and the method of ite observance are distinctively democratic, It is well fora people in an age of selfish senti- ment-deriding tendencies to give evidence on proper occasions of an abiding love of country and of an affectionate remembrance of those who have perished in their country’s defense, Bo long as the spirit of Decoration Day prevails among the people, the virtue of unselfish pat- riotism will not depart from the American re- public, oo ‘The overcast skies which ushered in the Morning are too commonly associated with Decoration Day weather to cause any serious disappointment. It is a curious coincidence, but one which no watchful person can have failed to observe. If it were any thing more, we might fancy that nature, like the children of men, had tears to shed on the graves of the mation’s dead, oT The coroner's jury investigating the canse of the death of mind-reader Bishop have reached the conclusion at which most people have al- ready arrived. They find that was dead before the autopsy was made, but that Dr. Irwin “through overzealousness acted in some haste respecting the direction of the perform- ance of the autopsy.” It is safe to say that Dr. Irwin will never do so again, Gasur Roepvertoxa. ‘In order to reduce our extensive stock of Imported ‘Bonnets and Round Hate, and also those of our own design, we will offer the same from this date at greatly prices. ‘We cordially invite our customers to call.
