The great doubt baa been lifted from th0 heart of France. the accomplishment of this was tho grandest deed of French arms In all the year of Armageddon which decide the fate of France geograph ically, but Its Influence upon the spirit of the country was, and still is, incalculable. For notwithstanding the "solidarity" accomplished in stantly and spontaneously on Augint 1, the day the genoral mobilization order was posted, a great doubt weighed like lead on the hearts of those who marched away singing as well as those who stayed behind and wept. Everybody remembered 1870. Tho old remembered the swift de feat In tho Franco-Prusslun war and the horrible nightmare of blunders The young bad heard the stoi-' time and agnln.
