I find a striking proof of this new frame of mind in the history of France for the use of schools, published by MM. Aulard and Debidour. Concerning the Terror we read the following lines: ``Blood flowed in waves; there were acts of injustice and crimes which were useless from the point of view of national defence, and odious.
Loitering one day in the neighbourhood of the Bourse, his eye lighted upon comic papers with cuts published by MM. Auber and Philipon. Their shop windows were full of caricatures, and after a long and intent gaze the boy returned home, in two or three days presenting himself before the proprietors with half-a-dozen drawings much in the style of those witnessed.
They were filled with the nobility and well-armed soldiers. "Afterward came the boat of his Eminence, to the stern of which was attached a little boat, which conveyed MM. de Thou and Cinq-Mars, guarded by an officer of the King's guard and twelve guards from the regiment of his Eminence.
"A snare, my dear comte, in which a man does not let himself be taken twice." "And where was monseigneur taken in a snare?" "Where? at the Louvre, mordieu." "Was it the fault of MM. de Guise?" "I do not say so, but they never assisted me to escape." "It would have been difficult; they were flying themselves." "It is true."

Taking the relative resistance to be the area of immersed midship section, divided by the square of the screw's diameter, it will in the case of the Rattler be 380/100 or 3.8. From the experiments made by MM. Bourgois and Moll on the screw steamer Pelican, they have deduced the proportions of screws proper for all other classes of vessels, whether the screws are of two, four, or six blades.
They were followed by MM. Azais and Pozzi, who recited some choice pieces of poetry in the Gascon patois. M. Mistral came last the celebrated singer of "Mireio" who, with his faltering voice, recited a beautiful piece of poetry composed for the occasion, which was enthusiastically applauded. The day was wound up with a banquet in honour of M. Dubray, the artist who had executed the bronze statue.

"Oh! nothing but insignificant orders; such as guarding the castle, guarding every lodging, allowing none of M. de Gesvres's guards to occupy a single post."
At six in the evening we arrived at the port of St Louis. It would be in vain for me to paint the various emotions of my mind at that delicious moment. I am bold to say all the colony, if we except MM. Schmaltz and Lachaumareys, were at the port to receive us from our boats.
