He did not blow his brains out, as the victims of that famous establishment so often do, but retired to his elegant rooms and entertained like a lord until he could get a remittance from some friends in England.

Band« of Guerillas Who Flourished Darinf the Franco-Germau War. Between Laon and Rheims. I passel through Chalons and Epernay, at whir'll places I saw, for the first time, the Francs Tireurs, or free-shooters, a corp, to which I must devote a few lines by way of description. The corps was, is the. most comprehensible possible mean­ ing of the word, irregular. The men who composed it were not only irregular in every thing they did. but appeared to glory in their irregularity. They seemed to have very few officers, and the few they had were seldom, if ever, to be teen on duty with the men. The latter had evidently souls above obedience, forthay did very much what they liked, and In the manner they liked. They evidently hated the regular army, and the latter returned the compliment with intereat. When at Epernay I witnessed askiwnish between a battaiion of regular infantry and a small party of German Uhlans, who were evidently feeling their way, and trying to find out what was the strength of the French troops there. The officer commanding the French out­ post behaved with great judgment, try­ ing by retiring his men to draw on the Uhlans, and find out their numbers. He had almost succeeded in enticing the enemy to advance, and had managed to hide tile strength of his detachment, when all at once a body of Irancs Tireurs came up, ami without waiting, or even asking for orders, they began at once to blaze away at the GermanA causing the latter to retreat. The of­ ficer commanding was very angry, and sent orders to the irregulars that they were to cease firing forthwith; but they took no notice of what was said, many of them declaring in a loud voice that the regulars were playing the game of the enemy, and did not want any of the latter to be defeated or killed. When an attempt was made to find out who was in command of the Francs lireurt no such person could l>e found, and on an order beinggiven that the command­ ing officer would cause an official in­ quiry to be made into the conduct of IM irregulars the whole corps, not less than five hundred strong, vanished and is- persed, so that they could no nioic found.— All the Year Round.
