In her rage, she proceeded nt once to ex
trcmo measures. Tho year had been one
of famine. The people everywhere were
ulferlng for bread. There enme ou n unl
vcrsal Gnlllo cfTervcscenco In which all In
crcdlhlo things were bclievi'd In and ex
pected. France Imagined for the hour thnt
the suite general, which soon resolved It
eelf Into tho national njwembly, could make
bread m well as u now coiistltutloui but
tne nrcau dirt not npicar
ParU, now thoroughly hungry, made a
rush for Versailles. Tho passion of the
hour took this form that the king and the
court, an well tho national njMctnbly.should
be transferred to ParU. tho cnnluil. whnm
we patriot might teach tlioin all tho way
to liberty and bread. So In the early days
of October Louis and his family wore htir
ried from the palace of tho Bourbon kings
at Versnlllea and brought to the Tullerlea.
Very tamo the king and hi party had now
become, and between the monarchy and
the notional aaeembly, holding Its sessions
lo the Salle de Manege, or riding hall, only
a ehort dUtance from the Tullerlea, very
friendly relations hod been established.
The new constitution waa completed, ac
cording to the Gospel by Rousaeaii, and
uddenly all minds became possessed with
the belief that the new era waa at the door.
There waa o univorwil faith lo Imminent
deliverance and plenty Thla state of f
fairs supervened In the early partef J7W.
As the summer enme on, an Ida took
oseesslon of the French mhid. The tier
aaetltatloaal monarchy had, bees trovM
est, that fat, the paper form of it, by the na
tional assembly, nml King Loafs, glod to
hove pence, had agreed to Its nrovbilons.
Aye, he would swear to maintain It swear
for himself and his son, and his posterity.
Already, in the first days of February, his
majesty went over in person to the Salle de
Manege, making a little milk-and-water
speech, and between him nnd the national
assembly there was great fraternity A
national oath wna prepared which all must
take or rather which all will take for
spontaneity suddenly conies with a flame,
and everybody swears and then swears
again. The president or the assembly
swears. All the delegates nwear Outside,
old llallly, mayor of Paris, awuitrs A cer
tain Monsieur Danton, not unknown to
tho Revolution, declare that "the public
would like to partake" In the swearing!
King Ixtuls receives tho tltlo of Restorer of
French Liberty, and all Freuchincn-except

Paris love him and will support blm nnd
his constitutional monarchy always.
Would It not be well, therefore, O French
people, happily delivered from your sor
rows by tho goodness of your king, by the
new constitution, and by the Gospel ac
cording to Rousseau, t hat a great day
greatest of nil dnys should bo appointed,
Id which the French nation, by representa

shall be for lis and posterity And what
place shall we find fitting for such a cere
monyf What place but our great Champs
de Mars, lying yonder on the left bank of
the Seine, between the Ecole Mllltalre and
the river.
About that placo all the history of an
cient France, back to tho days of tho Ro
mans, seems to hover. There the warrior
chieftains of tho Franks, from tho days of
Merovwus to the days of Pepin, were wont
to usscmble and toss their kings on their
bucklers, with coarse shoutings thnt signi
fied much of fealty nnd devotion. There
Charlemagne himself was wont to review
his soldiers and to hold his court of May
Day. Thore all the Capetian kings, down
to the Great Henry, and from him to our
beloved I nils, have been accustomed to go
on national days to review the soldiery of
France and U receive the homage of tho
nation. There then, certainly our new

of hatherland were swung on high to Iron
srnues great pans or incense, to be lighted
for tho nostrils of Liberty and of all pa
triotism. With tho early morning the
crowds began to pour Into tho Inclosure, If
that might bo called an Inclosuro which
seemed of limitless extent. The citizenship
of Paris and of other cities camo in shoals
and by thousands All were dressed in
gay upparel, and the trl-color ribbons
floated and fluttered everywhere. The dis
tant housetops and steeples of the city
were block with people. The soldiers came
under Generalissimo de lnfayotte, who,
from tho young enthusiast at the sldo of
Washington, has grown to such stature as

He Is simply Citizen Motler, or at most the
Sleur Motler. But he Is commandant and

lowest estimate places the assemblage at

It waa a scene of enthusiasm and won

tory may be searched In vain. Tho pans of
incense ore lighted. The cannon boom.
All flags and banners are unfurled. Tho
military evolutions are performed before
the altar-or Fatherland. Then Lafayette
advances, ascends In tho sight of the mul

the altar pronounces the oath of fidelity
"to tho king, to the constitution and to the

swears, so thnt the (icoplo hear. Tho court

they bo borno back to distant quarters of
