The Grand Place and Cathedral. TOURNAI, the oldest city In Belgium, onee the capital of the Merovingian kings, is truly a city of romance, whether we think of the tomb of Chll deric, the father of Clovis, with its wonderful treasures, discovered after being lost to sight for nearly 1,200 years, or of the poor, deluded youth, I’erkin Warbeck, the tool of the York ists, and through them brought to an Ignominious death, says a writer in Sphere. For us In England perhaps Its primary interest centers in its be ing the birthplace of Perkin, whose real name was Pierce Osbeck. This strange impostor was the son of a simple Flemish weaver. Made a pup pet of by some of the Yorkist party, in cluding Margaret of York, dowager duchess of Burgundy, to personate Richard Duke of York, whom they de clared had not been murdered in the Tower with his brother, but had es caped and been concealed, only await ing an opportunity to declare his royal birth, he succeeded for a time In ex citing n formidable revolt against the king, Henry VII. After many strange adventures ant. much ill success, in spite of the recog nition of his claims by the kings of Scotland and France, Perkin, finding himself insufficiently supported in his sorry fraud and realizing that he "had not the heart of a king,” but only “the heart of a weaver’s son,” made confes sion of his imposture and was im prisoned In the Tower. Soon after, on attempting to escape, he was hanged at Tyburn, finishing with a rope round * his neck instead of the promised crown upon his head. Tomb of Chllderic. An interest wholly different from this passing futile deception, however romantic some of its circumstances may have been, attaches to Tournal when we think of it us the seat of the Merovingian kings. In 1653 some workmen, whilst digging foundations for a hospital, came upon a collection of gold ornaments, a sword mounted The golden bees had been discovered in considerable numbers, nnd were thought to have decorated the royal robes, nnd it is interesting to recall that Napoleon, ever entering into the spirit of historical display, chose this decoration for his coronation robes. Has Beautiful Buildings. Tournal claims to be the oldest of the cities of Belgium, and Is certainly one of tlie most interesting and most picturesque, and contains a large num ber of beautiful buildings. There lias always been great sympathy between the people of Tournal and the F'rench, and much intercourse between tlie town and Lille, just across the fron tier. In the Grande p ace stands a statue of the Princess d’Epinoy, who distin guished herself in tlie defense of Tournal against Alexandra Farnese in 1581. She fought in full armor and saved the town by her energy and courage. The beautiful cathedral is one of tlie finest examples of the Ro manesque type of architecture, and challenges comparison with the splen did churches of northern F’rance. CANNOT RANK AS DIPLOMAT General Smuts Disqualified Himself b> His Unseemly Employment of Plain Language. The language of the low is the most formal in the world and the most pre cise. It seeks the definite so ardently that, with its repetitions und where ases, it confuses its own message and only that rather perverted form of in tellect, the legal mind, ean wind through its labyrinthine verbiage. The language of diplomacy, borrowing something of formality Irfan the law, is nevertheless far more dignified. The law deals merely with estates and pri vate contracts. It decrees the fate of tlie Individual. But tlie fate of na tions may hang on the phraseology of diplomacy. Its greater importance lias The Pont des Trous Over the EscauL with gold, some remains <*f human bones and a gold signet ring hearing the inscription, “Childirlei.” Here was the key to discovery, fur the presence of tjie ring led experts to consider that this was the burial place of ClJIderle, king of the Suliaii Prunes, whose capi tal Was at Touruat, and who died In 481. This conjecture was further strength ened by an examination of the differ ent objects, which were of such line • ~ workmanship that they could only have been wrought for some great chief or royal personage. The hilt and scabbard of the sword were mounted with gold, enriched with a mosui<^of garnets and other precious stones held in gold clolsons. Gold ornaments in the form of bees, and having the wings outlined with an inluy of garnets set In gold, and also a small votive object In the form of a bull’s head, with the solar disk on the forehead, recalling Mycencun examples, formed part <jf the treasure, and on the ring bearing the king's name was engraved the bead of a man with the long, straight hair worn by the Merovingians, and with the gold torque or collar round his neck. Perhaps this was meant for a representation, as near as might be, of f Childerlc. This rare treasure, after changing hands two or three times, eventually found its way to the Cabinet lies Ale dallles, Purls. In 1831 thieves, In an evil hour, broke In and stole almost the whole of It, leaving behind them only the mounting of the sword, two golden bees, u libula and u l’ew stray fragments. imparted to its d fart ion greater dignity. And tlie purpose of words In diplomat ic lixtdiangcs being to conceal thought, a« Talleyrand said, the lungunge of chancelleries Is far more liquid. It must lit the cast of the particular die Into which It Is poured. So we must conclude that General ’ Smuts Is not a diplomat. He has not the diplomatic method of expression. When the general met a diplomat, •rained id the school of ,Metternlch, tv> { discuss Informally a separate pence with Austria, he put the question of such a peace squarely to the be rlbboned, bestarred representative. There was hesitation and equivoca tion. “Good-night!” was the general's exclamation as he left the confused diplomat. General Smuts may not wear shirt sleeves In diplomatic councils, but this use of the vernacular shows that his verbiage at least takes Its coat off. The add touch of a bit of slang put an end to the prolonged ambigui ties and deceits of which diplomacy Is so fond. His Retort.
