On April CO, 1702, tho national assombl y ot
France voted for war with tho oniieror ot
Austria. It was a solemn moment, for it
was tho ojieniug of a itruggle which was to
last for thirty years; a struggle in which
France, singly handed, would have to con- I
tend against tho armies of Europe. If reason
had been alone consulted, there seeuied no
hope of success.
Strasburg, in the month of April, 1792,
was in a condition typical of mast of tho
great towns throughout France. Its streets,
its squares, . ere filled with ieople of all ages,
but chielly with young men. The bells were
tolling, nnd mothers and sisters were hurry
ing to tho churches, for tho dread boom of
cannon was heard at intervals. Hut the new
hope, the new faith, rendered tho voting full .
of joy, and fetes and banquets, singing, em-'
bracing and handshaking were the order of
the day
The mayor of Strasburg entered with all
his heart into tho opular feeling, and on the
day after thu vote for war he entertained
tome ollicers at his house. Among them
camo a young man from Frnncho Comte,
named llouget de l'Isle. Horn at Lans-le-Saulnier,
in the Jura, tho son of u barrister
connected with tho provincial parliament,
well educated, and already known as a poet
und musician, this young man of 'SI repre
sented tho undent und generous impulses that
distinguished the youth around htm. Mayor
Dietrich's nieces and some other Alsatian
ladies who were present added to tho enthu
siasm of the gathering. Tho wish was ut
tered that some poet might be inspired to
express in a national song the intense feeling
which at the moment made Franco a jjeonle.
The host turned to Hougetdo l'Isle und urged
him to try to do this, nnd the company pres
ent joined in the uppeal.
There is more than one account of the cir
cumstances which attended this request, but
n note is preserved m tho Hibliotheque Ra
tionale, nt Paris, written by M. Delabarre, a
friend of Kouget de l'lsle's, which is said to
give tho facts as narrated on tho poet's own
authority:
"M.Dietrich appealed to him to compose
both words und music of thu song required.
All concurred in tho request, und about an
hour before midnight lie returned home, and
finding his violin on his bed hu took it up,
und, lull of tho idea of that winch ho was
requested to do, ho began playing ujwu the
upper strings for n tuguo for tho air. 15o-
lieving hims-rlf to have found it, ho immedi-
ately composed the words. Trusting entirely
to memory, .md not committing anything to
Iaper, ho went to bed. Tho next morning,
rising at 0, no fortunutely recollected both
music and words, lie took them himself to
M. Dietrich, to whom he submitted it, and
who w.is not a little astonished at its very
prompt in.s,n, it ion. He was in his garden,
and after acuisory perusal of tho song ho
said: 'Let us go into the drawing room, that
1 may try your air on the piano.' Ho was
struck with its beauty, uroused his wife, who
was still in bed, and directed that each of
the guests of the night before should bo bid
den to breakfast, as lie hud something of im
portance to coinmiinicato to them. All came,
believing that ho had already received news
of blows struck in thu war from Gens. Luck
ner and Lafayette. He would not satisfy
their curiosity on tho point until they had
breakfasted. Then ho sang the hymn heart
ily, and it produced immediate admiration."
According to Michelot's version, some one
had said that "Allons" should bo tho key note
of tho hymn; and now, as tho poet entered
tho room, he came singing thu strophe:
Allons, enfauts do la putrio!
Tho friends listened with ever increasing
emotion; it seemed, both words and music, ns
a Hash of light from heaven; it expressed, in
a way characteristic of u true inspiration,
tho feeling of every heart. Franco had not
only realized her unity, but found tho gift of
ipeech.
Tho song, once sung, passed liko wildfire
from mouth to mouth, and in two mouths
was all over Franco. Tho poet called it
'Hymn of the Army of tho Khine," and he
cent it tho same day to Uen. Luckner, who
was at tho head of this jiortion of the French
troops. It was immediately printed on a
half sheet in oblong quarto, und those who
could not obtain a copy made one for them
holves. The orchestras at tho theatres gave
It, and tho band of tho national guard played
it on the following Sunday.
Who coinjKjsed the music Undoubtedly,
as wo have said, music und verso were of ono
and tho sumo inspiration. Germiiuy has
claimed tho music as taken from a mass by
Iloltzmann, but research has been unable to
And tho mass in question, or thut such u com
poser over lived. Tho x)int is settled by tho
fact that in the original impression, dedicated
to Luckner, and published at Strasburg in
170",', tho music is there, and that content
jioriiries who knew Hougetdo l'Islusay that it
was ho himself who composed it. It would
bo difficult to find a national odo filled with a
patriotic fervor more intense, but tho music
Is undoubtedly superior to tho words, nnd I
venture to say tho most inspiring tho modern
world j assesses.
Tho Austrian emperor had mado three de
mands. Submission to tho first two would
have reduced Franco to a fief of tho empire.
Tho third was still more odious, for it meant
a return to tho old order of tilings.
Tho uuswer cumo in this "Hymn of tho
Army of tho Hlilue."
In Juno, 171W, it was sung to tho volunteers
departing from Marseilles, and to each was
giveuueopy. Three days after tho mani
festo was issued, tho famous "Six hundred,
who knew how to die," entered l'uris, siuging
what had now become the hymn of tho ruvo
lution. Henceforth it was called tho "Hymn
of tho Murseilluise," und theu simply tho
"Marseillaise." It did at onco terrible and
effective w ork; for to its strains thoTuileries
were taken nud tho French mowrchy over
thrown. Valmy und Jemapjes followed, and
tho invasion collnsed. Wliut the odo did in
battle tuny bo seen by a demand of ono of the
ltepubliom generals: "Send mo 1,000 men
and a copy of tho 'Marseillaise,' "-Leisure

C. F. Gunther, the candy man, has a col
lection of memorabilia of the world's great
men which is probably unequaled in the
United States. Tito elegantlv decorated fire
proof room forming the second story of his
State street store is completely tilled with
I rare relics. l?csidos these Mr. Gunther has
I enough more relics to fill five rooms of equal
size. Many of these are too valuable to bo
' exhibited, and an exhibition safe is now
being built for them. They include nil tho
deeds, etc, by menus of which George Wash
ington proved his ownership in Mount
Vernon.
( "Oh, you want to see tho Lincoln collec
tion," said Mr. Gunther to n reporter. "Well,
here's a jiart of it. My Lincoln collection
entire would fill a whole sido of this room.
Here you see is a well worn leaf from one of
Lincoln's copybooks when ho w as u boy. You
t see he didn't make any mistakes even then.
Here are several of his bills for legal services.

There are Ids spectacles not much liko those

uscript of tho act freeing the slaves in tho
District of Columbia. There is Lincoln's
favorite poem written by himself. You seo
it begins: "Oh, why should tho spirit of
mortal be proud f" There are two original
photographs taken lieforo his inauguration.
All tlie.su broil A, gold and silver medals com

"That manuscript there is one of the most
valuable here. You know tho original
emancipation proclamation was burned in
the Chicago fire. Well, this is a juigo from
Lincoln's lust message, written after Leo's
surrender, in which ho ullirms tho emancipa
tion proclamation. You seo it savs: '1 re-
jient the declaration nuulo a year ago that
while I remain m my present ositioii 1 shall
I not attempt to retract or modify tho eman

j that proclamation or by any of tho acts of
' congress. It is the only document in exist
ence in tho original which proves Lincoln's
acts in reference to the abolition of slavery.
In connection with this you see this ro.solu-
tion of congress abolishing slavery here. It
is the original document, engrossed on
parchment and signed by Colfax, Hamlin
I and all the members of congress who voted

Orrut Depth of the Saunnny.
Tho river is probably tho deepest stream in
tho world; excepting in a few places tho
general depth is from 000 to JXX) feet; and tho
bottom of tho Saguenay at its mouth is COO
feet below tho bottom of the St. IjiWTcnce.
Thu3 a low jioiut of rock at tho shore or an
island is really tho top of u great lull, spring
ing up steeply fl::i tho bottom; and many
of tho cliirs aro not half out of water. As tho
spring tides riso about eighteen feet, tho cur
reuts of tho river uro violent nud eccentric;
iu some places tho ebb stream runs from
four to six miles an hour; tho eddies along uui. """"o"'". u.in.ieuv, tuu
tho shore aro liko those on a rapid; and tho I tudo still remains to n Chinaman for tho
undercurrents sometimes lay hold of a vessel 1 development of much plain speaking. It
and turn her about cr hold her still in spite I
, of a tow boat.
Before tho uso of tow boats, n vessel left
helpless by a calm sometimes drifted against
tho rocks, lodged on a lodge, and when tho
j tido fell cujisized in deep water. As unchor
ago is very rarely found, large iron rings
were lot into the rocks, and vessels oven now
sometimes tie up to tho dill's and await a
fair wind. The tide, for somo unexplained
reason, advances with extraordinary rapidity
in tho Saguenay; thus, notwithstanding tho
fact that the ebb current very rarely ceases
to flow out of tho river, yet high tido arrives
nt Chicoutimi only forty-fivo minutes later
than at Tudousae seventy miles. On tho
St. Lawrence tho tide udvances In tho same
time only from Tudousuu to MuiTny Bay
about thirty-five miles. C. H. Faruhain in

Tho nriucattri Chinaman Can Dire tho
American Point on Poll tonrsn and He
flnrmrnt In the Conduct of Epistolary
Corrrspnmlrnre.
It has probably fallen to the lot of
most of us to have met peoplo who,
without tho excuse of an unconscious
liabit, have tho knack of asserting tin
Jleasant truths, and who value tho nn
rracious practice ns n sign of honesty.
There are others, such as tho Quakers of
bygone days, who regard every expres
sion which may not bo in strict accord
ance with absolute truth as n sin against
their consciences. To such ieoplo tho
Idea of subscribing themselves "Yours
truly," or of beginning a letter to a
casual acquaintance, "Dear So and So,"
is abhorrent But public opinion has
been too strong for them, and wo con-
' tinilO, Mid shall contillll
' c.. l10lcls together, to
ther tem9 of emlea
continue so long as bo-
adtlress one an-
udearment and respect
which nro not required to correspond
with our sentiments.
Orientals have surpassed us in this re
gard na much as tho brillinnt sunshino
to which they nro accustomed excels tho
murky atmosphere of Europe. Tho de
scriptions of ourselves and of our corre
spondents pale before tho glowing ex
pressions of objective admiration nnd
subjective self abasement which ndorn
eastern epistles. Vo nro content to con
fine our wishes and compliments to tho
present life; but such a limit is far too
narrow for an Asiatic, who delights in
wishing that his friends may livo for
ever and ever, and that tho ancestors of
his enemies may bo condomned to over
lasting disgrace.
We are satisfied to speak of "1" and
"You," but an oriental loves to heap ad
jectives of contempt upon himself and
of glorification upon his correspondents.
KI-KVATINO AND DKMKAXIXQ SIMILES.
In all cases ho avoids the uso of tho
personal pronouns. By a system of cir
cumlocution necessitated by this omis
sion, ho describes himself as "Your
i younger brother," tho character repre
senting his expression being written
small, and partly at tho sido of tho col
' umns of words, and ho designates him
self and others conjointly as "Wo ants."
But tho person ho is addressing figures
Bg -Your excellency," "My benevolent
elder brother," or "Your honor," liter-
ully, "You who nro at tho steps of tho
council chamber." His own house is "a
mean dwelling," or, as tho parts of tho
character signify, "a stricken and broken
dwelling;" but ho is unable to think of
his correspondent's habitation as any
thing but "an honorable," literally
"basket-of-pearls palace." In the same
spirit of self abasement ho feels obliged
to wind up his epistlo with tho phrase,
"Your stupid younger brother, So-and-So,
bows his head to the ground." Tho
character for "stupid" is drawn for us
by two hieroglyphics, meaning "mon
key hearted." To bow to his friends is
also pictorially expressed by n colloca
tion of "a head" and "turf," suggesting
tho act of bowing tho head to tho earth.
If his correspondent proposes to call
upon him ho hastens to assure him that
"at tho appointed hour, with bowing
hands, ho will await tho timo when his
excellency shall abaso himself by driving
j his chariot to his oflice." His friend's
letter is "the revelation of Ins hand,"
and ho takes pains to mako him nwaro

On expressions of thanks
particular
emphasis is laid by tho Chinese, and
with true Oriental instinct, in their effort
after hyperbole, they aro accustomed to
give a physical interpretation to their
mental feelings.
POWKItFUI, HYPERBOLE.
For instance, a correspondent who
wishes to say that ho is profoundly grato-
ful, writes, "Your kindness is very deeply
engraved and enveined in my heart." If
ho hears of tho illness of a friend "ho
cannot help being hung up in suspense,"
and tho symbol ho uses shows to tho eyes
tho heart of tho writer tied up, while at
the same timo ho urges him "totakocaro
of his person as a pearl." And on tho
receipt of better news ho breaks out,
"How shall I bear tho joy and pleasure!"
Having finished expressing tho object of
his letter, ho winds up by "availing him
self of tho opportunity to wish his corre
spondent all tho blessings of tho season,
and," if ho is on tho road to honor, "all
tha promotion ho deserves."
is as possible to "slit tho thin spun life"
with a stiletto us with a broadsword, nnd
in tho most finished periods a Chinaman
finds himself quite able to express cither
withering contempt or remorseless hate.
But ho has other ways also of giving
vent to his ill humors. Tho very punc
tilious rules of letter writing enable him
to convey his dislike by omission as well
as by commission.
Chinese is, it may bo explained, writ
ten in vertical columns, beginning on
tho top right hand corner of the page.
In ordinary circumstauces each column
is completed to tho bottom of tho page;
but long usage has established tho cus
tom that, if the namo or attributes of tho
lerson addressed occurs, tho column is
cut short, and tho characters representing
theso subjects of honor begin tho next
column at an elevation of the apnea ol
ono or two characters, as tho case may
bo, above tho general level of tho text.
It will now be seen what a ready weapon
lies to tho hand oj a Chinese letter writer.
To writo "Your Uxcelloncy" or tho namo
of tho correspondent's country or sover
eign in tho body of tho column is to in
flict udiru insult upon him, and is equiva
lent to tho exprowioii of thu bitlcrcat
contempt in ICiiroixmii epistolary stylo.

i he ask yon the rciuon why it is no good,
! tell him just because. If this .' nswer does

still persists, toll him that it is a new-fan
gled idea. 1 his will probably prove eliect

don't give up, hut insist with the powerful
j argument that your grandmother never
heard of it ; that you can't see how mcr

proved upon, and that the old schools of
medicine must necessarily have exhausted
all the stock of wisdom, and that therccan
not possibly be anything left to learn. And
