Darwin has given, and see nothing there but a "derniere erreur du dernier siecle " a personification of Nature leads us indeed to cry with him: "O lucidite! O solidite de l'esprit Francais, que devenez-vous?" M. Flourens has, in fact, utterly failed to comprehend the first principles of the doctrine which he assails so rudely.
Aristote disait que 'Si l'art de batir etait dans le bois, cet art agirait comme la nature. A la place de l'art de batir M. Darwin met l'election naturelle, et c'est tout un: l'un n'est pas plus chimerique que l'autre." And this is really all that M. Flourens can make of Natural Selection.
It is formed at once; it is formed at the single individual moment at which the conjunction of the male and female elements takes place." It will be observed that M. Flourens uses language which cannot be mistaken.
Duval's column flees; its defeated leader is promptly shot by the merciless Vinoy. Fierce De Gallifet rages on the field his troopers sabring the socialists without quarter. Flourens' dishonored body lies, riddled with bullets, on a dung heap at St. Cloud. Eudes steals away, to sneak out and hide his "loot" in foreign lands. Red is the bloody flail with which McMahon thrashes out Communism.
They were under the command of three generals, Bergeret, Duval, and Eudes. With Bergeret rode Lullier, who had been a naval officer, and Flourens, the popular favorite among the members of the Commune. The three divisions marched in full confidence that the soldiers under Vinoy would fraternize with them.
I need not say that this influence has not been restored by the absurd arrest to which he was subjected by Messrs. Flourens and Blanqui. November 6th. So we have declined the armistice. The Government deliberated exactly five minutes over the question.

"I took an order from the Citizen Flourens to the public printing establishment. After him followed several other citizens, who proposed resolutions, which were put and carried. At ten o'clock the venerable Blanqui announced that the sitting was over, and the public noisily withdrew. An attempt has been made by the respectable portion of the community to establish a club at the Porte St.
Two days later the poor child came to tell me of the heroic death of Flourens. He had refused to surrender, and, stretching out his arms, had shouted to the hesitating soldiers, "Shoot, shoot! I should not have spared you!" And their bullets had killed him. Another man, not so interesting, whom I looked upon as a dangerous madman, was a certain Raoul Rigault.
Did M. Flourens ever visit one of the prettiest watering-places of "la belle France," the Baie d'Arcachon? If so, he will probably have passed through the district of the Landes, and will have had an opportunity of observing the formation of "dunes" on a grand scale.
