Than Cannons and Bayonets—Origin o( ♦he Famous Song—Its Elfect on the Army. 'hi April 20, 1792, the national assembly of Frence voted for war with the emperor of Austria It was a solemn moment, for it wa.» the opening of a struggle which was to lav" for thirty years; u struggle iu which France, single‘handed, would have to con tend against the armies of Europe. If reason had been alone consulted, there seemed no hojte of success. Strasburg, in the month of April, 1792, was in a condition typical of most of the great towns throughout France. Its streets, its squares, were tilled with people of all ages, but chiefly with young men. The bells were tolling, and mothers and sisters were’ hurry ing to the churches, for the dread boom of cannon was he«rd at intervals. But the new hope, the new faith, rendered the youug full of joy, and fetes and banquets, siuging, em bracing and tuuidshakiug were tlie order of the day. The mayor of Strasburg entered with all ■ mg, and auu on ou the me 1 his heart into the popular feeling, he _________ entertained _ day after the vote for war L- uou». Among meui some officers at m. his house. Among them from r Franche < came ___ . a _ young ,___„ man ___ ;____ _______ Comte, c____ , : ~ ............ ~ named ‘ Rouget de I’lsle. Born at ~ Lans-le- 1 Saulnier, in the Jura, the son of a barrister connected with the provincial parliament, well educated, and already known as a poet and musician, this young man of 23 repre sented the ardent and generous impulses that distinguished the youth around him. Mayor Dietrich’s nieces and some other Alsatian ladies who were present added to tlie euthu- , siasm of the gathering. The wish was ut tered that soine poet might be inspired to express in a national song the intense feeling which at the moment made France a people *Thft tiirnpci to tz» Rouget ria s I m «nd The host turned de VT i’lsle and uro-ad urged him to try to do this, and the company pres ent joined in the appeal. There is more than one account of the cir cumstances which attended this request, but a note is preserved in the Bibliotbeque Na tionale at Paris, written by M. Delabarre, a friend of Rouget de l'lsle's, which is said to give the facts as narrated on the poet’» own authority: “M. Dietrich appealed to him to compose both words and music of the song required. A'l concurred in the request, and about an hour before midnight he returned home, and finding his violin 011 his bed he took it up, Slid, full of the idea of that which he was requested to do, he began playing upon the upper strings for a fugue for the air. Be lieving himself to have found it, he immedi ately comiMwed the worda Trusting entirely to memory, and not committing anything to paper, be went to bed. The next morning, rising at 6, he fortunately recollected both music and words. He took them himself to M. Dietrich, to whom he Submitted it, and who was not a little astonished at its very prompt inspiration. He was in liis garden, and after a cursory perusal of the song be said: ‘Let us go into the drawing room, that I may try your air on the piano.’ He was «ti uck with its beauty, aroused his wife, who was still in lied, and diratted that each of the guests of the night liefore should be bid den to breakfast, as be had something of im portance to communicate to them. All came, believing that be bad already received news jf blow» struck in the wnr from Gens. Luek- oer and Lafayette. He would not satisfy their curiosity on the point until they had breakfasted. Then he sang the hymn heart ily, and it produced immediate admiration.” According to Michelet’s version, some one had said that “Allons” should be the key note at' the hymn; aud now. as the poet entered the room, he.came singing the strophe: Allbus, enfants de la patrie! The friends listened with ever increasing emotion; it seemed, both words and music, as a flash of light from heaven; it expressed, in a way characteristic of a true inspiration, the feeling of every heart. France had not (inly realized her unity, but found the gift of «neecu. The song, once sung, passexi l.ke wildfire from mouth to mouth, and in two months was all over France. The poet called it “Hymn of the Army of the Rhine,’’ and he lent it the same day to Gen. Luckner, who was at the head of this jxirtion of the French troope It was immediately printed on a half sheet in obloug quarto, and those who xiiild not obtain a copy made one for them- jelves. The orchestras at the theatres gave it, and the band of the national guard played it on the following Sunday. Who composed the music! Undoubtedly, as we have said, music and verse were of one and the same inspiration. Germany has :la:med the music as taken from a mass by Holtzmann, but research lias been unable to hud the trass iu question, or that such a com poser ever lived. The point is settled by the tact that in the original impression, dedicated to Luckner, and published at Strasburg in 17U2, the music is there, and that contem poraries who knew Rouget de I’lsle say that it *as he himself who oomjiosed it. It would be difficult to find a rational ode filled with a patriotic fervor more intense, but the music is undoubtedly superior to the words, aud I venture to say the m<«t inspiring the modern world possesses. The Austrian emperor had made three de mands. Submission to the first two would have reduced France to a fief of the empire The third was still more odious, for it meant a return to the old order of things. The answer came in this “Hymn of the Army of the Rhine.” In June, 1792, it was sung to the volunteer» departing from Marseilles, and to each was given a copy. Three day s after the mani festo was issued, the fatuous “Six hundred, who knew bow to die,” entered Airis, ginging what had now beccnxe the hyrnu of the revo lution. Henceforth it wus called tho “Hymn Of the Marseillaise," and tbeu simply the “Marseillaise.” It «lid at once terrible and effective work; for to its strains the Tuileries were taken and the French monarchy over thrown. Valmy and Jemappes followed, and tlie invasion collapsed. What the ode did in battle may be seen by a demand of tine of the Republican generals: “Send me 1,000 men and a copy of the ‘Marseillaise.’ ”■ —Leisure Hour. ____________ Natural Gas aa4 Fat Chickens. Somewhere in the book of Job the Har- monites found authority to drill into the earth for fuel, and, acting upou such author ity, discovered a reservoir of natural gas 1,800 feet underneath their hearthstones. It has been piped through the village, and serves for both fuel and light in every Lome. Cool, wood and oil are no longer used. At every street corner are elevated pipes where flames burn night and day, winter and sum mer. They are never extinguished. Econ omy is certainly the best lighted village in America; one can read fine print in almost any of the tret‘a at midnight. “Do you like natural gas, August F we ask. “Goot! goot! It makes my sine kens fatl" “Makes your chickens fat!” We can only look our surprise. “Ya, »0 fat like peegs. Bugs come at night, ’ big bugs, little bugs, tail sends! Dey fly’ in de gas blazes, uud drop down. Hens ketch ’em, like die” August opens his mouth and closes it, with a mighty smack of the lips.

A writer in The Economiste Français esti mates the total loss to France from tbs rav ages of the phylloxera since 187$, when this scourge of the French vineyards first made its appearance, at the enormous sum of 10,- 000,00”,000 of francs, or about £«».000,000. This estimate is based upon French official statistics giving the aggregate area of vine yards destroyed in the country at about 2.SOO,- 000 acres; and on the assumption that. I d ad dition to the acreage of vines thus utterly de stroyed, the extent of vineyards more or less infected with the phylloxera amounts to about 500,000 acres; making thus together 3,000,000 acres.
