"La Paroisse," of Mme. Doublet de Persan, was the salon of the sceptics and was under the constant surveillance of the police. All the members arrived at the same time and each took possession of the armchair reserved for him, above which hung his portrait. On a large stand were two registers, in which the rumors of the day were noted—in one the doubtful, in the other the accredited.

If the raven fails he turns the shell over and over until the impatient crustacean allows a claw to emerge; he is then seized and immediately devoured. Huber, Nouvelles Observations sur les Abeilles, t. ii. p. 291. If there is a question of hunting larger game like a Hare, the Raven prefers to take an ally.

Our word 'army' also came to us direct from the French, who still apply it equally to both services arméede terre,arméedemer. It is a participle, and means 'armed, the word 'force' being understood.
It was at this juncture that appeared in the "<Nouvelles a la Main>" those infamous articles, collected in what they call the Collection of Bachaumont. From the same source proceeded the songs <a la Bourbonnaise> which filled Paris, and were sung about everywhere.
