From this time until election day the stats will be flooded with the penny sheets eontaining the songs of calamity, ruin and Blight that will surely fall over the state if ‘Mattooed Tom Majors is not placed in the governor's chalr. The committee has al- ready sent confidentia! agents east to mis- represent the actual situation in Nebraska &nd to secure from eastern capitalists and bankers letters pointing out the solute eertainty of financial ruin to follow the election of Judge Holcomb, These agents re instructed to represent that Majors lands for the business credit of Nebraska and that Holcomb represents {he anarchists and wild-eyed populists. Bastern business men will be assured that if Holcomb s elected Nebraska will repudiate her Indebt- edness and that the legislature will pass laws prohibiting the foreclosure of mort- (BAges, reducing rates of Interest and per- mitting almost Indefinite postponement of the payment of judgments. Eastern capital- ists will be told that if Holcomb is not beaten Nebraska bonds will not be worth the paper they are printed upon. The paid emissaries of the Durlinglon organization will run the whole gamut of the song of Woe, regardless of the effoct that thelr dire predictions may have upon the future credit of tho stato. As soon these agents are actively at e work the returns y be expected to come in. The Burlington Journal at Lincoln will be filled full of threatening letters from leged eastern capitalists and Investors to the effect that the east demands the election of Tom Majors in the interests of capital. Many of these letters will doubtless be gen- uine, for the writers may be imposed upon by the suave methods of the oily-tongued rallroad representatives. But the large ma- Jority the letters will be expressly man- ufactured for the oceasion. Thesa letters will decefve no one in Ne- braska. The people of this state know that the real issue in the coming campaign is whother or not the B. & M. railroad can forco a dishonest and obnoxious candidate down the throats of the people, or whether the people will throw off the railroad yoke Wwhich they have been compelled to wear for 8 many years. The credit of the state i8_not threaiened In the least. Referring to the outrageously false and misleading statements now being made to the effect that Nebraska's credit will rulned by the election of Jndge Holcomb, a gentleman well known throughout the state says: “In their zeal to overcome the tremen- dous opposition to Majors the men who are managing, or rather mismanaging, his cam- paign, aro falling into a serious orror. They are asserting with well simulated, confidence that the election of Judgs Holcomb means financial ruin for Nebraska. They assert that it Holcomb is elected Nebraska can dispose of no more bonds, that farmers can- not renew loans as they fall due, that far ors cannot secure ncw loans on real estate urity, that rates of Interest will advance and that a general repudiation of debt will tollow. “Now, what will these zealous gentlemen say In the event of Holcomb's success? What will Mr. Kountze say to the eastern parties whom he hopes to Interest in his canal pro- Ject? What will he say to the men who are asked to invest In city bonds for public works? Will Mr. Kountze assure these gen- tlemen after Holcomb Is elected that his statements made now before the election has taken place were mere campaign buncomb, in- tended to frighten people into foisting a rallroad tool upon the people? Or will he tell them that Douglas county bonds are a dan- gerous Investment under a populist governor? “What will our investment agencles say to the men who own the money that is every year being loaned on Nebraska farms? ‘When Holcomb is elected, will these brokers g0 out of business, and tell their eastern principals that no more money can be loaned in Nebraska untll a populist governor has rved his term? Or will they admit that they were merely lying for campaign pur- poses? “What will these people say to eastern investors who may demand the higher rates of interest when Holcomb is elected? Will they rustle .around in a hopeless endeavor to loan money at 9 per cent when thelr com- petitors aro offering to loan at 6 per cent? Or will they admit that they were simply talking through their hats? ““Nebraska will have fo face this situa- tiei, Tt Judge Holcomb is elected the state will continue business at the old stand. Honds will be issued and sold, farms will + be mortgaged, Interest will be paid, enter- prises will be inaugurated, capital will seek © investment. These men who are preaching . calamity aro simply injuring the state, and they are inflicting a greater injury than a popullst governor of Judge Holcomb's worth _could possibly Inflict if elected to the office of governor for life.” HAS A NICE CONTINGENT FUND.

Byron Beall of Lincoln Resds n Sympostum of Letters on the Toplc In Connection with His Sunday Night Sermon. LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. 7.—(Special)—The Interesting sermon of Rev. Byron Beall, D.D., the pastor of the Third Presbyterian church, tonight was on the subject of “‘Sui- cide.”” He took for his text the words: “And he cast down the pleces of silver in the temple and went and hanged himselt,” from Matthew xxvii, 5. The discourse was ar- ranged under four heads. The history of suicide; causes; moral character; the cure. The minister stated that he preached on the subject becauss of the Increasing tendency to suleide, and because of certain defenses of sulcide appearing of late In the public press. Under the heading, “History of Sul- cide,” it wag noted that the crime was most common In the German nation and found least among the Jewish people. The pro- portion of men committing sulcide was three- fold more than that of women. Under the heading ‘‘Causes,” where the man was sane he considered infidelity the greatest. He held that the act was cowardly, and mur- | derous, and therefore sinful. The cure was declared to pe a Letter understanding of physical law and obedience to all laws of God. Probably the principal feature of Dr. Beall's address was a symposium of letters from Nebraska pastors, writlen in answer to the question: ‘“Suicide: Is it Right?' Among them were several from Omaha. Rov. Joseph T. Duryea, D.D., pastor of the First Congregational church, writes: “‘Suleide Is not justified by the law of God, either as revealed in nature or In the scrip- tures, Life Is not created by us, but is an endowment, and He alone who glves. It has a right o take it. He has placed us here for a purpose, and It is our duty and privi- lege to soek the fulfillment of it and remain until He takes us hence.” Rev. Frank Crane, D.D., pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal 'church, writes: “‘Suicide Is the legitimate fruit of hopeless- ness. Hopelessness is the result of distrust in the Father. It is the natural end of in- fdelity. It is perfectly in keeping that the greatest living infidel should eulogize suicide. Christianity teaches that this life is a privi- lege and has in It the seed of eternal bless- edness. Suicide Is therefore wicked and the result of a wicked heart. The suicide is to be_pltied.” Rev. Asa Leard, D.D., pastor of the Knox Presbyterian church, writes: "I expect your question Is a kind of double-barreled affair. I think it a great thing for the community to be rid of some people. Yet I suppose we would be a little particular about commend- ing the manner of their taking away. Nover- theless, who is pot committing ‘suicide? I am. You are. My dear sir, beg your par- don, but I want to be frank. Overwork, overeating, and what not. Cutting close the sunny side of life. What is a man's life for but to bo burdened down to the socket, and then flicker and go out? The brighter the flame burns the sooner the candle is done. Are we not told to keep our lights burning? This means consume life as fast as possible. There, now, I think I have made out the case. You see it all depends on how a man goes about It as to whether it is right or not.” WHAT AN ABLE JURIST THINKS. One of the most Interesting of the opinions in Rev. Dr. Beall's symposium was that of -Chief Justice Samuel Maxwell. It is: God's care and protection are over all per- sons. Bach one has a mission, viz: The faithful _performance of duties, humble though they be. He asks us to trust Him in the assurance that He will do right, and that not_even a sparrow falls to the ground without His notice. Thus He tried Abraham, and we all have trials somewhat similar in kind, but differing in degree. He requires us to be dilligent, and use the opportunities we have, and if we faint not, doors will be open, which were unexpected, to supply our needs. God is near to every one of us. ‘There {8 a divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we may,’ and when work is finished He will call us home. We have no right to lay our burden down and rush unbidden into Hls presence.” Rey. W. W. Harsha, D.D. L.L. D., of Te- cumseh, one of the brightest Presbyterians in the state, writes: ‘‘Suicide is murder, when commilted by one responsible for his acts. This has even been the judgment of enlightened Christians, and is plainly taught in scriptures, Acts 16-28, To hold otherwise, substitutes paganism for Christlanity, im perfect human reason for divine wisdom; encourage cowardice instead of courageous manhood In the face of difficulties, and shrouds the world In black despair.” Rev. J. W. Stewart, pastor of the York Methodist church, writes: “‘Sulcide is self- murder. If committed when insane the suicida 1s not held responsible in the sight of a just God, only so far as the Insanity is the result of known and intentional sins. It committed when in a sane state of mind it fs the act of a cowardly murderer, and nothing can justly be said in its justifica- tion, and It must and should meot the same punishment. in the future as if another pe son had been murdered instead of self. As to whether this horrible crime is ever com- mitted by a sane person Is a question about which I have no doubt. Some people do murder their fellow men, and he who would murder another would, upder certain eir- cumstances, murder himself. Were all good people and the pulpit and press to denounce this crime and not undertake to palliate and excuse it there would be less of it. Rev. L. Groh of the Lincoln Lutheran church denounces sulcide unsparingly. He writes: “Thou shalt not kill any person. Suicide s murder. Deliberate murder is sin against God and man, If a sane person violently ends his own life he is a criminal. Religious indifference and unbelief increase the number of sulcides. Intelligence without is no remedy agalnst It. Compare statistics between cultured France and un- tutored Spain. Even superstition in this re- spect is better than lack of all faith. As anarchists and violent unbelievers increase in our land this crime increases. Sce statis- tics. That Is logical, why should ome who thinks death ends all bear the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune? Will a sane person murder himself? Certainly many do, unless you hold all to be beside themselves who are out of God and Christ. Roman and Greek regard it as honmorable; so do many French and others. It is a cowardly act.” JOB, PAUL AND PLINY. Rev. Robert L. Wheeler, pastor of the South Omaha Presbyterian church, writes: “Suicide is the climax of a sinful life, unless one's reason is dethroned by impaired health Job's wife sald: ‘Curse God and die,’ but Job pleaded his integrity and a Sovereign God upheld him, as He will any man who puts his trust in Jehovab. Paul had mora sorro from ‘Old King Trouble' than Job, and Paul said: T live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.’ Suleide 1s wicked, because it interferes with God's plan with the individual lite, and is a confession on the part of man that the devil is mightier than the Son of God." Rev. Edward H. Curtis, D.I)., pastor of one of the Presbyterian churches of Lincoln, re- calls the night Paul and Silas spent in' jail at Philippl, and writes: “Paul said to the Philippian jailer, when he was about to com- mit suicide in true Roman fashion: ‘Do thy- self no harm.' That is the spirit of Chris- tianity. Life was given us by our Creator to be preserved and used as a sacred trus we therefore bhave no right to surrender o our own caprice, or when for any resson it has become burdensome to us. Self-murder is the betrayal of a trust which God alone has the right to recall. Self-murder is the cowardly abandonment of our station in the battle of life without the consept of our Comfander-in-Chiet. It is, therefore, either insanity or sin."" Pa hilosophy gives Rev. N. Chesmet of the Fremont Presbyteriap church & thought. He writes: “I'regard sulcide as & cbwardly way fof a man 10 rid hlmself of the trials of life, 1t i a orime fainst God, who . and afainst controls the affajrs of this man's own soul. The elder Pliny says: ‘Among these so great evils i hy estowed upon man take his own life by will o of am eftets pullosophy, but o an expression of Christian sentiment in this enlightened age; sulcide is & violation of man's most sacred rights. First, it s con- trary to the express declarations of God’s holy law. Second, It fs contrary to the moral convictions of mankind, Third, It is a crime against a man's family, Fourth, an expres- sion of the basest cowardic CHANCELLOR CANFIELD'S STAND. Chancellor James H. Canfleld of the Uni- versity of Nebraska puts his views . very tersely: “I have but a moment to spare for your question, ‘Is suicide a sin?' and am re- minded by It of the question asked by Leigh Hunt In one of his storles. ‘What would be thought,’ he says, ‘of & horse that at tie end of every furrow should look anxiously around to tl as If desirous of getting his harness off?' I think that no man who has any just appreciation of the duties and re- sponsibilities of life will commit suicide.” Rev. John Hewitt, D, D., pastor of the Holy Trinity, Lincoln, explains the attitude of the Episcopal church thus: My indi- vidual opinions on the subject of suicide are of no importance to the public. In answering your question, therefore, I will confine my- g0lf to a statement as (o the attitude of the copal church toward sufcides, That at- titude I think Is fully expressed in the law concerning the wuse of her burlal The law saye: ‘Here is to be noted t the office ensuing (the burial office) is not to be used for any unbaptized adults, any who die excommunicate, or who lay violent hands upon themselves.” Suloldes are divided into two classes, those who have wil- fuily murdered themselves, and those who have killed themselves while in a state of Insanity, But the law of the church applies only to the first named class. The suicide is a murderer; and St. John says by the spirit that ‘no murderer hath cternal life abiding in him.' This being so, the hope a joyful resurrection is cut off. Honce the office which expresses that hope in commit- ting him to the ground cannot be used. So far as Christians are concerned this seems to determine the morality of the act of sul- cide. If there is any other standard by which it Is measured, it is one which the bible Christians cannot accept.” Rev. D. R. Dungan, A. M., LL.D,, chancel- lor of Cotner university, Lincoln, writes: “First, suicide is murder, ' Second, cowardly, as it shrinks from facing facts in future events, Third, robs the people of their proprty in the man murdered. Fourth, robs the fam- ily of the help and support it should have. Fifth, the doctrine which justifies it extends to those who cause the oppression, hence it is a part of nihilism. The source: First, ma- terialism, universalism, unitarianism, spirit- ualism. The remedy: First, respect for self and others. Second, sympathy, help, heart, hope. Third, a proper sense of the sin Fourth, & wholesome falth in future punish- ment. These would save all but the insane and Irresponsible.” Rev. E. E. Fife, pastor of the United Pres- byterian church of Lincoln didn't go far for his authority. ““The teaching of the sixth commandment, “Thou shalt not kill," has al- ways seemed to me to furnish sufficlent answer (o all questions on the subject.” There were many other interosting letters in the collection, which were read by Rev. Dr. Beall during his discourse. Affaies in #oyd Connty. BUTTE, Neb, Oct. 7.—(Special.)—Saturday morning a party coming from Spencer brought a report that a dead horse hitched to a buggy was lying in the voad about three miles east of Butte, and that a man’s cap was found near the buggy. Appearances indicated that the horse had been struck by lghtning, and it was feared that the man, becoming dazed by the shock, had wandered away and perished, as it was a very cold night and quite dark. A party was at once orgnized and a search instituted, but with- out finding any one. About noon John Pence, 1iving near Butte, came in with the informa- tion that the rig belonged to hiih and he had succeeded in getting home all right. The liorso had dropped dead, and, leaving every- thing, he started for home, intending to re- turn next day. A petition will shortly be presented to the county commissioners praying them to recall the proposition recently submitted for a spe- cial electlon to vote bonds to pay the in- debtedness of the county and asking that a new proposition be submitted to vote bonds to construct an irrigation ditch through Boyd county. It Is conceded that the first propo- €ltion cannot receive even a majority vote, and as something must be done to help the people, it fs believed that enough money can be voted to commnce the ditch and furnish employment to all Boyd county farmers who desire work. blg base ball tournament s scheduled here for October 11, 12 and 13.

Spencer and Georgs Bowing of Stuart were in the city last week making arrange- ments for the construction of a telephone line from Stuart to connect Dustin, Grand Rap- ids, Naper, Bonesteel, Fairfax and Butte With that town. A bonus of $300 was asked of Butte citizens, and the amount was quickly subscribed. The line will be buiit this fali. 7.—(Speclal)—A sad story comes from across the river in Saun- ders county, near Mead. The little 3-year- old child of Mr. and Mrs. E. Chasling fell down the stairs and struck a bottle at the landing, and a piece of the glass was driven into the skull and broken off even with the surface. So firmly was it fixed that the doctor was compelled to chisel around the glass in order to loosen it sufficlently to admit of its removal. The operation was a painful one, but this morning the little suf- ferer was resting easily. The populists held a primary last night and nominated a straight precinct ticket.

Instead of putting in three new spans on the Platte river bridge at this point, as was stated in The Bee a few days ago, nine spans are being put in, and the work will last until Christmas. “There are thirty-five spans in the bridge, each being sixty-four feet in length.

When Rice returned and found the machine man there he drove both him and Mrs. Rice from the house with a shot- gun. He then began to stash up the fur- niture and shoot out window lights. FHe held possession of the house the remainder of the day, not allowing officers or any one to enter. 'Some time during the night he made his escape and skipped the country.

AMUSEMENTS. “The Police Tnspector,” the newest of the stage storles to exploit phases of police life In New York, and for that matter all over the country, for the police departments of all metropolitan citfes are largely patterned atter the Gotham institution, was given a hearing yesterday at the Fifteenth Street theater. Tnspector Byrnes, whose name is a terror to wrongdoers and whose skirts remain absolutely clean even under the close scru- tiny of a Lexow committee, stands as the type for the hero of the performance now being given at the Fifteenth Street theater. The play deals with incidents of the seamy side of life in_the metropolis, and the author, Mr. Will R. Wilson, an erstwhile police re- porter on one of the New York dailies, has made a close stidy of the modern Vidoeq, with entire credit to himself, even though he has allowed the sensational to run away with the dramatic situations sometimes. It 1s a play absolutely suited to the patrous of Mr. Burgess' theater and two Immense houses testified appreciation of the perform- ances yesterday. Inspector Byrnes, who Is Impersonated by Ogden Stevens, 15 herein reprosented as a man of undaunted courage, a champlon of the weak and oppressed, a relentless foo to all criminals and a defender of the fair sex wherever a strong arm and a stout heart are needed. The actor who is entrusted with the duty of playlng the inspector has un- doubtedly made Mr. Byrnes a very close study, for in make-up, and even in voice, he Is much like the original of the pleture. “The Police Inspector,” is primarily a character study and maybe the men apd women who are ‘‘kinetoscoped” for the pleas- ure of the audience are but witnesses of the power of Inspector Byrnes, but somewhat distorted for stage purposes by their anti- types. The drama might, with perfect ju tice, be called “The Road of the Rough, for Byrnes makes it very warm for all wrongdoers who come within his official power. Thero are a number of clever specialties Introduced to relleve somewhat the atmos- phere surcharged with ‘‘crooks,” burglars, murderers and others of like kidney, making altogether a good show for those who de- JIght v having their feelings harrowed up by dark deeds and herolc self-sacrifices, Py FOR HO.

It may not be tiresome to recall a few of the incldents. My first visit to Paris dates bafk forty-one years. It was not then, as now, flooded with Americans. There were none of those signs which are now so plentiful, ““American Bar,” American Drinks.” There were no American churches, and the Paris papers did not contaln any articles on “L’Americanisa- tion de Paris.” Comparatively few of our countrymen crossed the ocean, and there was only one line of steamers from New York, the Colline line. We would think it very slow today, but the boats were comfortable. Something was wrong about the manage- ment, for they all came to grief. It was tho time of the second empire, 1853, and the new emperor was very popular. He had been married only a short time, and the Crimean war had not yet begun. The em- peror's fete day occurred while T was there, and T enjoyed to the full the festivities, for I was only 23, eager to see, and, as I spoke Fronoh fluently, able to appreciate what [ saw and heard. Though Paris was not then what it Is now—for the wonderful and mag- nificent changes Louls Napoleon made in it were as yet on paper, and the lovely Bois de Boulogne had not been laid out—yet in com- parison with New York it was as wine to water, and my own city, Chicago, was then only an overgrown village of ugly wooden houses, EMPEROR AND BRIDE. Two things connected with that day stand out in my memory. One was the ride of the emperor and empress through the streets in an open barouche. There were no guards near them, and the crowd pressed close up to the carrlage, so close that men could take the emperor's hand and kiss it. 1 was not four feet from it, and ran along by its sige for nearly a block. On the front seat sat the emperor and a gentleman, on the back seat the empress with a lady. On his face there Was 1o sign of emotion. He wore the im- porturable mask he always wore, and looked dull and stolid, as he always iooked. The empress was deadly pale. She was beauti- fully dressed, and her vell was thrown up, but sho kept her eyes closed most of the time, undoubtedly from fear. One could' not blame her, for any one could easily haye stabbed or shot her or the emperor. The carriage had 1o go at a foot pace for fear of liurting some one, and there was ample time for any fanatic to dccomplish his purpose. It must have been a hotribla ride for her, in spite of the shouts of applause which every- where followed them. Tho other thing I recollect was tne tight- ropa dancing of Mme. Saqui In the Place de la Concorde. It was not that the tight rope was any noveity to us Americans, but the pe former was nearly 70 years of age, and had performed often before the Parisians of the first empire at this same fete and in this same place. You could not have believed that a person 50 aged could be so agile. I next saw Paris in 1855. It was the ttme of the second universal exposition, the sec. ond of the grand series, begun by Prince Albert, and which culminated in the Chicago exposition of 1893. Of course it could not be compared with that, but, at the time, it was a magnificeht spectacle, and crowds from all parts of Europe flocked to see it. The Palace of Industry in the Champs Elysees, now used for the yearly exhibition of plo. tures, was built for this exposition, and I was in Parls on the day it was opened by the emporor and empress. Again I stood near them as they alighted from their car- riage, he, as becfore, stolid, without one trace of triumph on his face, although it was a very proud moment for him; she, not paralyzed with fear as before, but radiant With beauty and joy and grace, as lovely and as interesting a woman as could be found in the world—every inch an em- press. Even in the two years since my last visit, and with all the expense and worry of the Crimean war, very much had been done to beautify th y, and the pageant on the Champs Elysees every was worth a long journey to behold, THE EVE OF WAR. 1 next saw Paris in 1570, memorable for it was the year of the Prussian war, I was in the fated city on the very day war was declared, July 19, 1 happened tha cevening to be at the Theater Francals, the home of Moliere. The play was ““A Lion in Love." At the end of the second mct the audience, who were evidently laboring under great excitement, rose as one man, and shouted for the “Marsefllaise.” There was some delay on the stage, but at last the manager came forward and sald there was nobody ready to sing it, but in a day or two It would be given. And it was, and was a great nulsance, for every evening the play was Interrupted, and the whole company gathered on the stage around Mile, Agar or Mlle. Sass, and sang the famous hymn, the whole audience joining in the chorus. If one can get tired of a tune, I did of that. It had been forbidden for many years, and it seemed as it the Parisians could never get enough of it. You heard it everywhere— from bands, {rom groups at the corners of the streets, from regiments as they marched to the station, I remember being on the top of an omnibus, and the people in the strect surprised a famous tenor also sitting there. They made the driver stop, and the tenor had to stand up and sing the old song amid wild excitement. It was a very Frenchy sight. All day and all night you heard the cry, “A Berlin.” My sympathies were entirely with the French, and I thought, Just as they did, that it would be a “walk- over.”” How little T or they knew about it. In a few days the air grew thick with rumors, and I noticed how careworn and anxious the empress regent looked as she drove past the hotel on her way to St. Cloud. All night long the windows in the imperial apartments blazed with light, and the boule- vards swarmed with gossiping crowds. All foreigners were leaving. It was too great a risk to stay any longer, and 1 went to Switzerland. FALL OF THE EMPIRE, Some weeks after, going from Basle to Heldelberg, | passed in the railway near enough to see the bombs bursting in the air, and a group of peasants, who had striven by force of arms. to defend their litile property from the Germans, were brought as prisoners and put on our train, their hands tied behind thefr backs, and they were covered with blood from thelr wounds. How my blood bofled! They had only done what any man would do, defended thelr own, and war never looked so hideous to me as then. A week or two after that, as I was nearing Vieona from Triesta, the con- ductor of the train sald {o me: *“Napoleon has surrendered; the emplre is over. It was a great shock. Soon after that Parls was invested. We sailed from Liverpool in great anxiety as to what her fate would be, and 1 remember well that the very first question we called out to the pllot, before he lad time to put his foot on deck, was, “Has Paris been taken?" I next saw Parls In the year 1888. The empire had vanished into nothingness and the republic was In full swing. It was again the 14th of July, the national fste day, and went to see what to me was very amusing, but which the Frenchmen seemed to think was very pathetlc and soul-stirring. On the Place de la Concorde are several carved mar- ble figures, seated on thronss representing the great cities of France. One of them is Strasbourg, and It Is the custom now on the national festival for different societies to march to this statue, make speeches there, cry a little, embrace each other, put fresh crape on the figure's head, take away the withered wreaths and put up fresh ones, shout “Vive la France,” sing “Oh, ma patrie” and other national odes, and gen- erally make & fuss, As I said, 1 thought it was vory womanish and very Frenchy. tainly nothing more unamerican could well be imagined. They have lost the city; let them grin and bear It, and try one of these times at very | Cer- | it back. This mourning over I¥ [ into a frenzy around a statue In vory ohlldish and unworthy of braye men, THE REPUBLIC TODAY. The noxt time I saw Parls was in this year, 1894, and at the same time of the year, How beautiful it looked as I drove through it, just at sunset, to my hotel. The dome of the Invaldes looked as It It were on fire, and the top of the Vendome column and th tower of St. Jacques, and the pavilions of the Louvre, glowed and sparkled as if tiled with burnished gold. The vistas up and down the river were as fine as of old, but the trees had grown and the leafy avenues, the glowing beds of flowers, the spacious boules vards, gave a charm to the already lovely city 1 had never before imagined. I had been in Parls but a few days when that aw- ful tragedy occurred which startled the whole world, the murder of President Carnot. I had never belleved much in the French res public. It scemed to me like children play= ing with edged tools; but when I witnesssd | the calmness, the steadiness with which this xcitable Pari bore that great shock, with what ease and tranquility the election of Carnot's successor was effected, It gave me a confidence 1 never had had before that the blic had come to stay. I saw the funeral procession from a balcony in the Rue d Rivoll, and a most interesting sight it was, There were but few soldiers, for what reason I do not know, but there were plenty of other ants,” as the French say, and it was curious o see all the official bodies of France In their various uniforms, not the least thing being the judges and professors in robes of bright orange, lined with ermina or with squirrel skins, and with sections of orange-colored stovepipe on their heads, The French are great at funerals. 1t they had no uniforms, they put on evening dress and a high hat, and they all walk. The flowers were the most wonderful sight of the Kind I ever saw. The enormous size of the wreathe. some of them so heavy that fous horses had to draw them, the thousands of them, for every hamlet almost in France had sent ono, to say nothing of the schools and societies and official bodles, all combined to make a spectacle not soon to be forgotten. The Pantheon, where the murdered president was laid to rest, Is a magnificent tomb for any man. There are few statelicr buildings in this city of grand and noble architecture.
