Tun German people are showing their friendship for America by contributintr generously for the relief of the Charles ton suQ'orcrs. M . BLAINE is reported as doubtful whether ho would care to contest the Hold again with Mr. Cleveland in 1888. The republican uarty is beginning to bo doubtful whether they would care to have him. A iiEvoiiT is current that a son of the Prince of Wales is engaged to Miss Jennie - nio Chamberlain , of Cleveland. This is the first intimation the public has re ceived that Miss Chamberlain is about to enter the theatrical profession. THE report that cx-Uovornor Kirk- wooil , who is the republican candidate for congress in the Second district of Iowa , is steadily gaining ground , is gratifying. But ho has a very largo job on hand in the effort to overcome a democratic majority of 0,000. BISMAIICKis not above nepotism. lie has made excellent provision for Ms son Count Herbert , in the diplomatic service It must bo conceded , however , lha Herbert Is an uncommonly clover fellow and owes his honors quito as much to personal merit as to paternal favor. WHAT is to become of Mr. Manning is still an undetermined and interesting question. It would bo very easily and promptly decided were bo simply a clerk Iii the treasury incapacitated by sickness for discharging his duties. In that case ho would be unceremoniously bounced. VEIVT little effort is required to fan the embers of riot in Belfast into a flume. A street fight on Sunday led to an outbreak wlilch resulted In the wounding of twenty people from bullets fire.I by the police. Iii this case ovor-zcal on the part of the authorities was probably at fault , but the occurrence serves to show the quick sus ceptibility of the popular temper to the least exciting influence , and that there is a volcanic undercurrent from which an eruption is possible at any time. TIIEUE is undoi btodly no substantial foundation for the report that the son o the prince oi Wales contemplates a matrimonial menial alliance witji the Cleveland belle Miss Jennie Chamberlain , who for sev eral seasons baa boon ono of the reigning beauties in London , and who ia nqxr sojourning iu Scotland. The lady has only her presonal charms which are somewhat exaggerated , am n rich uncle , who might not bo over generous in the matter of dowry , to com iKend her to royally , and it may bo doubted whether these modest appurton AIICO.S would satisfy the young man's grandmother , who will have something to say , and who has shown , as in the case of lialtcnbnrg , that she will accept any body who has the Jabol of royalty , bu that the label is indispensable. Being re Btrictwl to an inferior and deteriorating circle from which to select a husband o wife , (3 ( ono of the most serious disadvait tages of being u seion of royalty , and i is one that in time will have to be over .come , if royalty Is uot to become extinct IJie County Koprcscn.tn.Uvos. The two nominees from Douglas county mUidc of Omaha , selected by the late cpubllcan convention , will command a initcd republican support. Both are armors ot experience , citizens of nnbloin- shed reputation , nnd men of high char- ictcr anil ability. Mr. W. G. Whltmoro I.s well known in ) oughs county. As a member of the ast lugislaturo from this district , ho n.idc an enviable record as a faithful , tip- ight and elllcicnt member of the delega- ion. His services to his constituents were ccogni/.ed in the practically unanimous ote which ho received from the convcn- ion on Saturday. Mr. Whltmoro is a clear-Headed thinker , a strong speaker and an earnest worker. He is a pro- . lounced advocatoof General Van Wyck's election , in which respect ho voices the 'venvholming sentiment of the people of lis section of Douglas county. Mr. 1' . B , Hlbbard , who comes from the oahlern part of Iho county , is ono of the jest educated and most successful far- ncrs of the-state. Hois a staunch and Ifo-long republican , an excellent btisi- icss man , who has made farm- ng u sclcntilic and profitable study , and a citizen who has kept dmsolf fully abreast of the progress of .ho times and Iho issues of the hour. Mr. Hlbbard is honest , active , energetic and i man of strong convictions. No butter representative of the farming interests of liis district could have been selected , lie will bo found to bo ono of the strongest members of the delegation , and an ardent supporter of Senator Van Wyck. Jjot Them I'ull Together. There is no reason why the ticket nom inated by the republican convention on Saturday should not bo elected by the largest majority over given in Douglas county. The convention was a represen tative ono. All elements were on the lloor. There were no contested delega tions , no factional wrangles , no scones of discord , no wounds inflicted to leave ugly scars and engender still more ugly resentments. For the lirst time in years the republicans of Douglas county , with out respect to east differences , mot in harmonious conclave , and carried through the business of the hour orderly , peaceably , and in a spirit which bodes well for a successful issue of the cam paign inaugurated. A united republican party in Douglas county means a certain republican vic tory in November. There is no reason why every republican should not put his shoulder to the wheel. Let all factional issues bo forgotten , and the ticket nomi nated in Saturday's convention will bo as certain of election six weeks hence as a republican senator is of election in the next legislature. The AttHtrlnu Mission. There are renewed rumors that Secre tary Manning will retire on October 1st from the treasury department , and that upon his retirement he will bo at once nominated to the va6ant Austrian mis sion. This piece of news is in contra diction of the generally accepted de- cisibn of the administration to leave the mission to Vienna vacant during the re mainder of .Mr. Cleveland's term. The public has accepted for some time , as the correct view of the differences between our government and Austiia , the alleged discourtesy on the part of the latter in the Keiley matter. Soon after the rejection of Mr. Keiloy by the Austrian court , Count Kalnoky , the Austrian prime minister , recalled Baron Schaeflbr , the representative of that coun try at Washington. It is now asserted by those who are in position to know , that the real cause of the trouble was as follows : Baroji ScliaclTor communicated to Secretary Bayard certain instructions ho had received from Count Kalnoky. Ho did this for Mr. Bayard's personal information. In return for this kindness the secretary violated the confidence placed iu ' him by Baron Schaeffer , and embodied this in formation in his ollicial dispatches to the Austrian government , which were pub lished. Kalnoky , exasperated at the publicity given to his orders , at once re called Baron SchaciTcr , and at the same tlmo told the Mccrotary of state vor\ plainly his opinion of the blundering di plomatic methods of the administration. This open slap in the face of Mr , Bayan he has resented by refusing to tnko anj stops to fill the vacancy at Vienna Whether the story bo true or not , it is quito of a piece with the remainder o : Bayard's blundering diplomatic perform ances. The "Delaware statesman" has been a bull in the state office china she | and the smashing of diulomatio crockery and the precedents of ordinary business transactions has boon mortifying to the American nation ever < since ho assumed charge. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Dohrlngjijoti Seizures. Secretary Bayard haying expressed the opinion that the seizures of the Canadiai schooners engaged in seal lishing ii Behring sen are likely to raise an issue which will lead to a lively diplomatic con trovorsy. and in the same connection hav ing suggested or implied a doubt as to whether the claim of the United States to the supreme control of that sea would bo allowed or can bo mahuainod , it becomes interesting to know the basis of the claim now for the lirst time brought into con trovorsy. Alaska was purchased by tlio Unitci States in 1807 , and while it was a Russia ! possession there had never been n ques tion regarding tlio absolute jurisdiction of that government over the entire waters of Bohring sea. When the purchase was made the fur trade was regarded as the interest of first importance. Indeed until the mineral resources of the country were discovered , a number of year afterward , the fur trade was thought to bo the only source from which the government could expect any return fo iu outlay of seven million dollars as pur chase money , The Aleutian islands am adjacent waters , as the ! breeding nut hunting grounds for thoscal , were , there fore , at the time deemed the most yalu able parts of the acquisition. Hence the United States government was careful to have the rights coded by Uiihsia tcrri torially described in the most exact tun explicit manner. The convention by which Alaska was conveyed to the United Statcii follows ii its description the western line .of delimitation limitation , which starts at a point it Uelirin. Straits on the parallel of 05 de grees 80 minutes north latitude and ex tends north to the Arctic ocean , run southwest from the same point throng ! the straits nnd sea of Bohring to the me ridian of 173 dpgrooa west longitude , and hence continues southwest , passing mid- vay between the Alton and Copper .stands , so as to include the whole of the Vlcntlan islands cast of that meridian. V reference to the map will enable the cador to readily delineate the course of hcso Ilnci , from \vblc h they will be scon ' o embrace nearly the whole of Behring soa. When the cession was made there v.is no question from any source as to he right of Russia to make it , and this act Is to be taken as a virtual acknowl edgment of her right. Tlio government of tlio United States evidently never en ertained a doubt that Its jurisdiction was complete , congress having enacted that 'no per/son / shall kill any otter , mini : , narten , sable , or fur , seal , or > tlicr fur-bearing animal within the imlt of Alaska territory , or in the waters hereof , " prescribing severe penalties for each offense , and further that "all ves sels , their tackle , apparel , furniture and cargo , found engaged in violation of this section , shall bo forfeited"but providing .hat "thosccrotary Df the treasury shall nivo power to authorize the killing j > f such mink , marten , sable , or other fur- joaring animal , except fur seal , under such regulations as ho may prescribe ; mil It shall bo the duty of the secretary .o prevent the killing of any fur seals ami to provide for the execution of the pro visions of thisscctlon until it is otherwise provided by law ; nor shall he grant any special privileges under this section. " The passngo of this law and its pre valence until now attests the view which this government has held for nearly twenty years regarding its rights in Alaskan waters , audit remains to be seen whether Iho English government , having made no objection to the transfer of jurisdiction by Russia and never having questioned it since , will now , to gratify Lho pique and malice of Canada , serious ly iittcnipt to disparage the claim of the United States to the exclusive and supreme control of this sea , a right that is indispensable to the protection of a most valuable interest. As yet the mat ter has not reached the state department in an ollicial or diplomatic form , but in the present temper of the Canadian gov ernment toward the United States , there can be no doubt that it will make all pos- sihle haste in bringing the subject to the attention of the homo government and insisting that it shall tnko cognizance of it. In the meanwhile our state depart ment ought to bo so well prepared lo meet the issue as to avoid the stupid and ImmUiatiug blunders which have char acterized its treatment at the outsrst of other matters with which it has recently had to deal. Uoml Calls and tlio Surplus Bondholders are declining very gener ally to surrender the o per cents which the government has called in for redemp tion. Out of the ten millions which the government olio red to redeem between' the end of August and the middle of Sep tember , only $878,000 were presented for cancellation. The compulsory call of last week will withdraw ? 10ODOOtO addi tional by the 10th of October , leaving after that date only about 100,000,000 of the 3 per cents to bo called. Including the last call , the amount of bonds called within the fiscal year , beginning ' July 1 , is $52,000,000 , exclusive of the ? 10000,000 voluntary call , of which , as already stated , less than $1OCO,000 has been 10- deomed. The soundness of the demands of the Morrison surplus resolution has been freely demonstrated by the heavy re ceipts of the treasury within the last month , which during that lime have averaged a million a day and have boon largely in excess of the expenditures. Should this volume of receipts be main tained the whole of the outstanding 3 per cents will have to bo called for redemp tion before the Fiftieth congress meets in December , 1887. This consideration will doubtless impose on the present congress at its next session the duty of taking measures to enable the secretary of the treasury to apply the surplus revenue to the purchase of bonds not due or of making n substan tial reduction of the tariff in the interests of American nruiufacturcrs by an en largement of the free list. The demands for free materials for use in our factories are increasing m.tho very hot beds of the high tariff men , as manufacturers sou that by such a course now markets would bo opened and additional employ incut would bo afforded to labor. The only alternative to a rational tariff revision for revenue reduction will bo the purcliaso of bonds in the open markets. The ! } per cents redeemable in 18U ! are now selling ni $1.12 and the 4 per cents of 11)07 ) at $1.20. * Should the government enter the market as iv purchaser they would go still higher. The Business Situation. If the long expected boom has not ar rived at lost , all signs fail , All eastern markets report unusu.l activity. In Now York the fall trade is said to bo of unpro cedentcd volume. Elsewhere through out the country the distribution of all kinds of merchandise for homo trade re quirements continues largo. The only noteworthy decline in prices during thu past week has been in the grain markets , where it results from the pause in for eign buying and the steady growth of domestic stocks. Wool continues lirm and docidely more active , owing to the advance in Australian wools in foreign markets. Dry good are more in demand with stocks in all de partments cast well sold up. The iron and stool trades continue strong at all points , with a favorable outlook for fu ture business. Wheat prices have declined 3 to 2j cents a bushel under the pressure of ac cumulating stocks in this country and a comparatively light demand for export. Stocks in sight , including the amount afloat and in transit from all parts of the world to Great Britain nnd the Conti nent , show an increase of 3,000,000 bush els. The movement of winter wheat at primary points is smaller , but receipts at sprilig wheat centers continue large. Foreign markets are weaker nnd exporters are Holding oil' . The situation is favorable for n good export business during the balance of the crop year , but foreign buyers are evidently inclined to allow the depressing influ ences now nt work in American markets to spend their force before they again make free purchases. Corn has de clined : } to 3 } cents per bushel under free soiling in-all grain centers , induced by largo receipts and more favorable weather for the growing crop , which will very soon bo secured from tlio risk of injury by early frosts. There is very lit- , \o \ export demand for corn nad stocks an ? increasing. Local reports show a satisfac'ory business among Omaha job- jers.

Liningcr , who heads : lie republican legislative ticket , stands n no need of an introifjiction to the citi zens of Douglas county" Ho is one of the foremost of our successful and ontorpri- ng business men ad ono of the best nown ami most highly respected clti- /.ens of the stale. HP is an American In the fullest scnso of the word and in every respect n representative man. Although lie has travelled all the world over , ho bo- liovcs in America and American institu tions. Starting out in life with no silver spoon in his mouth , Mr. Liningor has car.ved Ins way up to competence by hard work , lionest dealing and largo executive abil ity. Ho has been identified with most of our manufacturing enterprises in their Infancy , and has been directly and indi rectly n heavy employer of labor. In his sympathies Mr. Linluger is outspoken in favor oi liberal pay and fair treatment of Iho workingman , and stands squarely upon the labor and railroad regulation platform adopted by tlm convention. While temperate himself , Mr. Liningor' bnllovcs that prohibition does not pro hibit , and favors high license as the proper solution of the temperance prob lem. lem.It It goes without saying that Mi. Llnin- gor is heartily in favor of returning Gen eral Van Wyck to the United States sen ate for nnothor term. Mr. Liningor is not a politician. Ho is. a republican from principle , but has never sought office and declares that ho will not solicit votes personally. The only olilce. ho has hold in Omaha is that of councilman from the Fourth ward. In that capacity ho proved himself a very useful and olliciont public servant. It may not be out of plsice to add that to Mr. Liningor Omaha is largely in debted for the success of her rccont ex position , of which he was the superin tendent , lie gave up six weeks of his valuable time , free of cost , and labored night and day to make the exposition worthy of the name. If elected to the senate , as ho doubtless will bo , Mr. Liumgor will bo the peer of any man who will hold a seat in that body. Mil. S.N"Ktr. , who misrepresented Jeffer son and Thavor counties in the last legis lature , is up again' ' for rc-nommat'on. Mr. Sncll was one of ctha republicans elected on anti-monbpoly pledges which were no sooner malfo tljan broken. Ho introduced sovcraUniphjctlcable railroad bills , which ho knc\y could not pass , anil finally was a warm supporter of the rail road commission fraud.1 * ) Mr. Snell ought to he loft at home. " Jl NOAV conies the , ituq ; , of war between the "slotter" house } indi"packing , house" democracies , Ma.vor IBoyJ , with Pat Ford as his right bdwer , , is already hard at work to rally tiro.pacjdng'house forces , They boast that Jthgjrv will crush the Charley Brown oufli.tan'thc coming prim aries and teach them liow'to submit and behave in the future. There's ) music in the air all along the line , and don't you forget it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THE "Dolphin" now belongs to the navy. Secretary Whitney has made the last payment of $20,000 in settlement.of John Roach's claim of $15,000. Having saved $33,000 by the transaction Mr. Whitney feels that he is square with the veteran ship-builder whom ho has bank rupted for the sake of gaining a tem porary notoriety as an economist. TIIKKB is wailing and gnashing of tooth among the boodle loaders who took the contract to deliver Douglas county over to Church Howe and the enemies of Senator Van Wyck. Republicans who have party success at heart are satisfied with the situation. THE next great political act in Douglas will bo the attempt of "Hiz/.onor" Mayor Bo.yd to mop the lloor with the Brown brigade. Pat Ford says it can bo dona nnd that the Third ward can bo counted solidly to canvass "packing house" polit ical hams. Mu.

For it thu people sulfor an almost unbearable burden of taxation , and not that this military spirit depresses their culture and keeps their manners rude and boorish. Military rigor is enforced in the school-room , and the questioning spirit of military obedi ence bids fair to quench all individuality of character. No wonder that above all others Count Moltko is worshiped , forte to him mainly is dun the cuicicnt state of the army and its brilliant victories. The career of tins great military genius is uniiiuc iu one respect there is , perhaps , in all history no other man who rose .so high and yet had attained his (18th ( year without attracting tne notice of the world. It was not till after Sadowa that the name of the "Groat Taciturn" be came famous as a household word over the entire globe. Retiring as the man , is his home in Silesia , Of the great soldier's peaceful .surroundings a correspondent of the Jsorddeutsohe Allemcino/citung recently gave an interesting description. Two hours ease of Schcwcidnitz is the quito hamlet of ICrcisau , ho says. Twenty years ago the name of it was not known in wider circles. Only after the wars of 1SUO and 1870 had created a powerful , united Germany became Kreisau , like Varan , through its owner , far-famed. Here , in rural quietness , Field Marshal Count von Mollke has created a tuscula- nuin , whore he rests iroin his arduous labors for a few months of every year. " Gathering new strength for his work" and perhaps shaping plans for anothergigan- tic campaign , lie keous company only with his nephe > v and a few of the lords of manor in the vicinity. It is rarely that a traveler comes to Kreisau , for it is far oli' the great routes of the public traveleven far otl'the ordinary couutryroad. Count Moltke's homo is not , a proud , feudal cas tle. It looks more like a plain , unpreten tious seat , mellowed by ago , of an Eng lish country gentreman than the abode of n man whoso present rank is but a creation of a few years back. It is a sim ple , square structure , one-storied , with high gables. Broad , iron-bound stairs lead to the portal over which the coat-of-arms of the von Drosky the former owners looks proudly down upon those who enter. Count Moltko bought this pleasant coun try seat \\ith money from the donation which a grateful country made him after the Austro-Prussian war. The entail , which was granted in ' 08 by the then King William , comprises Kreisau , Nicd- orgraouitz and \Viorisshau. Moltkc loved this quiet home from the time ho first saw it , and so ttid the countess. Sha died after a few months and was laid to rest on a little promontory in the magni ficent park whore the count built a mau- soiem over the nioinul of the partner of his days. Outwardly stofn though he seems , Moltko has a warm and tender heart. Of this his undying affection for Ins wife is a proof , while innumerable stories of unobtrusive , thoughtful acts of kindness to friends and perfect stramrers still further testify to his amiable dispo sition. Strange that a man with so gentle - tlo a spirit , so loving a nature , should bo utterly devoted to a profession so cruel and ferocious , regarding it not merely as a sad temporary necessity , but as a divinely appointed institution. There is a stone bench near ttie mauso leum , almost hidden by the boughs of trees and the foliage of dense shrubbery. Ilcro Count Moltko remains alone for hours , looking thoughtfully into the wide iilain which stretches below to the far-olT Silcsinn mountains. Count Moltko's wedlock was childless , and his nephew , William von Moltkc , a captain on thu general' stall' , is a heir to the estate and to the title. A younger brother of the captain lives at ICroisau , and attends to the management of the es tate. Ho receives the rare visitors cordi ally and makes the most amiable guide through the wide halls and spacious rooms at Kreisau. To both sides of the . - tone stairway which leads into the hall rest mighty cannon trophies from Mount Talariou , the great Parisian bul wark , which the emperor presented to the count. The silent weapons of war are of bron/.o and covered with roliofs , and finely chiseled ornaments. They boar the three lilies of the royal bourbons , but the inscriptions wore destroyed by howlinir sans culottes long before the mementoes of a great past came to Km- sail. sail.We enter the baronial hall. Three mngnilicont equestrian statues , cast in bronze and placed on mighty pedestals , greet us. The one in the centre repre sents Kmperor William in military cloak and holniot. It is a present of the cmpororanonttho sixtieth aniversary of the military career of the count. To the right is a masterly copy of Hanch's great monument of Frederick the Great in Ber- lin. Tliu third is the equestrian statue of Moltko himself a present from the oilcurs ! of the general stall' . Heavy oaken doors load into the sitting-rooms of the building. They are plain almost to ex cess , and exemplify more than anything else the si in ill a character of the count. In the library wo Jind the plain , Iron camp bedstead , thu same as Is furnished the common soldier. Close to It is the desk of the chief of the general stall' , ami maps of every description cover the walls. , In the uppur rooms are the family pie- lures of tlm MoHkos and the numerous presents of which the present illustrious bearer of the name has boon made the recipient since ho soquickly rose to famo. Hero also is the massive bureau which contains the addresses and certificates of honorary citizenship presented to the count by hundreds of Gorman cities , Another huge ouken press contains the collection of arms niailo by Moltke dur ing his extensive travels in Turkey and the orient. There In the yatagan of the Turk anil the spuar of the Arab side by side with a magnificent sword which is a present of tlm sultan.

"Canto ot oamlide" erst waegen , daiin wagon first weigh , then risk the ancient motto of the Moltko family , and one to which their youngest descendent has remained faithful , has boon inscribed upon many of those valuable presents. In 0110 of the rooms wo tind the life-size pictures of Moltko iu fatlguo uniform and liismarck in slouch hat and smoking jacket mosterpiccs of Lonbach's brush. In n plain gold Irnmo is a miniature portrait trait of the latu King Victor Kmmamiol , with an autograph dedication for the count.

At Kreisau , Count Moltko relaxes a lit- lie the iron rules of Ins dally routine life. He Invi-s hi.s little farm back of tin- manor house , and he spends hi.s moral nu hours in supervising his laborers. Thru hi1 attend.in person to his garden Aiul his nursery , especially the latter , which he musters as strictly as if the young sap lings were a regiment of recruits , lie prunes weakly or dead branch/ ! with his own hand. It is oneof the silent soldiers most prominent characteristics that hit hates all that is incompetent , all that H nnlltted to its task and purpose , The outer aspect of the man is true to hi.s character. Spare , tall , upright , his figure is not bent by the burden of four-scon * years ; one sees at a glance that this man is born to command. The man that had inscribed over the tomb of his departed wife "Lovo is the fulfillment of the law" is the ideal impersonation of a German olllcer reticent , tinquestionahlv devoted to his sovereign , narrow-visioued in his patriotism , wanting in imagination , self- negating , of stern , unbending , unolastio devotion to his profession and Its duties. Ot him , when nature shall claim her dues. Germany may well say , in the words of Hamlet : lie was a umu ; lake him for all Iu nil , 1 shall not lonk upon his like main.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette : An in teresting story is related by a well known school principal in the east end districts , who over the nom do plume "Sonox , " writes to correct an error that appeared recently in an item m one of the daily napers referring to an incident that hap pened on the Monougahela City wharf ' when Henry Clay once went 'up the Monongahela river via Brownsville and Cumberland to the capital. U was then stated that Clay was fascinated by the Dcauty of one of the reigning btllos ot the vicinity , as suggested by a note on the late demise of John Flack. "Souo.\ " says : "An old Monougahela City boy Dogs leave to say that ho was on the wharf when the 'Brownsville boat' landed on that Wednesday. The wharf had been crowded all the week , day after day , by the expectant people of the town and 'all the kontr.v round' to see 'Harry of the west , ' not then sainted as the'Sago ot Ashlnnd.

"Tho day was snowy , not 'rainy. ' Mr. Clay stepped off the boat with alacrity and cheerfulness.

A beautiful girl , the teacher of the only school in those days 'kept' by a female and who still resides in the town , adorn ing its most rclined circles of society and commanding the respect and veneration of the entire community in their widow hood , was the irrepressible , bright-faced girl who on that day kissed Henry Clay. " A. Now Kalian Vessel. A correspondent writes from Naples , under date of August 25 : "Tho princi pal event of the week has been the launch of the Tripoli from the government yards at Castcllamaro. She is not one of those monster vessels which have been built at Custcllaniaro , but is ono of a class of four vessels now in course of construction , corresponding as nearly as possible to the new typo of fighting ves sels , to the larger of which they will be powerful auxiliaries. The 'Iripoh is seventy motors in length , and seven and seven and eighty-eight meters in breadth. She will bo provided with six boilers , ai d it is calculated will make eighteen miles an hour. As usual , the launch was a per fect success , thousands of visitors were present , and , besides crowds from Na ples , Sorrento anil other places of villo- giatura were emptied for the occasion.

It Is said Unit the organizers of the exhibition are on the lookout for souvenirs of the revolution. They are after Marat's Imth , which was recently sold by a Drcton euro for several thousand trancs. They will probably also try to got the original guil lotine , it it was not it which the com munists burned , or hunt up thu red cap of liberty which Louis were when 1m put his head out of the window in thu Tuil- cries.
