FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE
LETTER FROM PARIS.
georrempondence of the Plialadolpltis Bullbtln.
.reltiti, Feb. 11, 1870.-LA.ll , Paris is in:lying
merry over Gustave Flourens's article in the
Reorme.' You will ask; perhaps, who Gigtave
Flourens is, and , what the article in question
Consists of? Well, 1 will endeaVor to tell you,
and, in so doing, convey to your readers Horne
true idea of the events which have hoen
ing around us for the last three days,—a more
Cl:greet idea, — perhaps, than that' which you
May have gathered 'from the sensational
telegrams which have no doubt been
flashing , across the Atlantic. Gustave
Flourens, then, is the son of a highly respect
able, but somewhat eccentric father, a man of,
science and member of the Institute, whose
writings attracted a good deal of attention •a
sew years ago. And no wonder, seeing that
they professed to teach people the method, if
-riet, exactly of living forever, at least of attain
ing the respectable longevity of a hundted of
,a hundred and fifty years. ai. FlourenS, Sr.,
professed to assure us that there was no
'reason, save our own fault, that we
should not all arrive at that comfortable
period of senility. The son goes upon a dif
ferent tack, and seems desirous, if possible,of
making his career a busy and short one. He
has long led what . French people call a vie
Qrageuse, a " stormy life." It was he, you may
'remember, who, at the funeral of poor Victor
Noir at Auteuil, quarrelled with' Rochefort
because the htter opposed Flourens's , propo
sition to carry' the corpse to Pere In, Chaise
through the streets of Paris. • " No, no," said
Rochefort, "there are those nastysoldiers on -
the road, and I, ain not going to
expose my person to those 'vile Chasse
pots." " The two demagogues exchanged some.,
very tharp language in the newspapers. But
they seem to have come together again,for (and
here we arrive at the immediate incidents of
the moment) we find them, both about to at
tend the same meeting at Belleville, on his ap
proach to which Rochefort was arrested.
That sagacious gentleman gave himself up, as
you are long since aware, with the best grace
in the world; suffering no oue to fight for him,
and, above all, taking care not to tight for
himself. 1 believe the simple truth to be that
Rochefort is not sorry to be out of the hands
of such. thorough-going confederates as
Flourens, and likes far better to play the
martyr, With a whole ,skin, in Sainte Pidagie,
than to be barricading the street of Paris with
such a ilre-eater, as the,man above mentioned.
At all events be goes quietly off into his six
months' limbo. Not so Flourens, who, left
free to follow his own impulses, comes out at
once in the heroic, or rather, perhaps,
should say 'the tragi-comic line. Brandishing
a sword-cane over his bead, he tires two or
three shots from his revolver in the air, and
forthwith declares himself "in a state of in-
6urrection." A state of siege would, per
haps, have been nearer the mark; but, however,
he declares war in his own person against
the Government and proceeds Immediately
to open the campaign. Like Cesar, he writes
his own commentaries ; and we had, yester-
day, in the Reforms, the article above alluded
to, containing a detailed account of his opera
tions from their commencement to their con-'
elusion. I ;wish I could send you
the entire narrative verbatim. • It
is certainly the very finest serio-comic
epic I ever read. It is eo " immensely ridicu
lous" that .it is barely possible •to conceive
any man writing and publishing what so dubs
himself an ass. Flourens tells us that, having
declared war, his first act was to make a
' prisoner.. So he seizes the luckless Commis
sary of Police, who was to Ave been present
at the meeting in question, and marches rain
triumph with this poor man of peace, who
begs bard of his doughty conqueror to be al
lowed once more to see his wife and children
°before he dies. " I had only around me,"
Flourens says, " a band of a hundred, but all
of. them heroes ;" and then he adds,
a .line - further on, " and these soon
dwindled to sixty. Yet with these,"
he cries, " I held a whole Faubourg of Paris
for three hours." Munchausen himself never
performed such a feat! To be sure, Flotirens
does not tell us against what or against whom
he and his sixty heroes held their ground ; the
Simple fact being that, for the moment, there
was nobody there to interfere with them ! By
and by the illustrious band marches on again,
and these "sixty Men" meet "two soldiers:,
" We disarMed them," says Flourens, " as
gently as if they had beet, brothers.' After
this tremendous achievement of taking
their side-arms from two " real" sol
diers, the party once more advancds.
and falls in with "a sergeant and
three armed men." Flonrens is particular in
telling us that they were " armed." This was
a more serious aflitir ; three armed men and a
sergeant wore not to be trifled with, so Flou
rens 'at first tries a parley! "I addressed to
them," he says, in picturesque language,
"friendly words!" And how do you think
these. " miserable slaves of discipline'," as lie
calls them, had the bad taste to reply.? By
" lowering their bayonets and threatening to ,
fire upon us!". After such a specimen of fra- .
ternity as this there was nothing for it but
to be off, and declare, like Dogberry,,
that ' this sergeant and three armed
soldiers were no true men. " We continued
our march," says Flourens, with exquisite
nairefi, " putting out the gas as we went
along." Encouraged, seemingly, by this suc
cessful attack on the gas-lights, these doughty
warriors actually laid hands upon several
. " empty omnibuses "(they do not seem to have
ventured upon any " full" ones), which were
lying at the depot, and overturned them
across the street. Their next achievement
was to "carry by assault" an empty bouse,un
, dergoing repairs, in the flue de Paris, at
Belleville, and appropriate' the scaffold
ing to " make barricades." At this
'Moment a brilliant idea • suggested
" Some one reminded me,"
writes Floureris, " that there were guns at the
Denville theatre." Stage guns, "property-room
-guns," murderous utensils,-no doubt ; such as
might be expected to be found in a suburban
theatre, and.had Hashed powder in many a
bloodless fight. To the theatre, then,' was the
cry. But alas ! by this time the sixty had
diminished to ten, wile alone still followed
their undaunted leader on this last and most
desperate expedition. It is asserted that when
the manager heard he was about to be at
tacked be " drew up his troop" and "gave the
• word," but that " all the guns missed fire." I
do »et,:l.ewever,,answer fOr this fact,which is
not mentioned by Flourens. All he tells us is
that by the , tinie be got into the theatre he had
but "one brave and excellent yoUng man" at
his side. lie avows that he and his friend were
set upon by three or four people inside, who
speedily drove tbeni out of the home. After

on "Pussy," by Prof. Sobel() de Pere, with il
lustrations of uncommon originality and re-
search; confessedly borrowed from 'Champ

erudition brought to bear on the essay may be
guessed from the following extract.
PIT Ski IN LITiCIIATURE.
Who does not know Tasso's charming sonnet
to his . cat?--One of the bright* among his
smaller gems; and Petrarch is said to have
loved his cat only less than his Laura; so that
What he could not do for the latter he did for
his pet—he had her embalmed, and kept her
as long as lived. Cardinal Wolsey never
sat on his almost regal, throne, when he oft-
dated as Uhaucellor, without having one
or two of his . favorite cats by ..his side;
and Richelieu's• grim humor required the
constant presence of a number of kittens,
whose merry tanibols alone could elicit a smile
and sooihe his temper. Cliateaubri q nd was'so
passionately fond of cats that the Pope, to
whom he.went ai ambassador, could not find
a more suitable and acceptable present for the
devout son of the Church than his- predeces-
sor's favorite cat; and when the great author
was growing old he fancied be was , also' grew
ing like bis pets; from bia close intimacy and
great 'fondness. Nor have 'other authors dis-•
dained to sing the praise of Pussy;: .Canning,
and Gray, and Cowper have left ; their tribute
to their ftffectionatk friends; Hoffmann - intro
ducedrthem into all his quaint ' and fantastic
tales, of which "Rater Murr" is not the least
attractive ; Edgar Poebore cheerful witness to
their grace and strange attractions ; and Victor
Jingo rarefy is seen without his magnificent
Angora—
The second illustrated article is the highly
poptilar sketch of Frederick the Great. Then
comes a pretty, twaddling poem of Alice
Cary's, "Shadows." Lyman :Abbott treats of
the circulation of water in, a splendidly-em
bellished paper called "Nature's Common
Carrier." Moncure D. Conway's charming
"South-Coast Saunterings," still devoted to the
Isle of Wight, bring up finally at the figure of
Tennyson,with the following agreeable piece of
personality
CONCLUSION OF A VIM ; TO TENNYSON
It had been a stormy evening, and the night
was of pitchy darkness when I started out,
against kind invitations to remain, to go to. the
"Albion" inn near by. Tennyson insisted on
showing me a nearer way, but amidst the dark
ness got off his bearings. Bidding Me walk
close behind him, we went forward through the
mud, when suddenly I found , myself
precipitated some „ eight or ten feet
_
downward. Sitting in the mud,
called on the poet . to pause ; but
it was too late; he was speedily seated beside
me. This was seeing the Laureate of England
in a new light, or, rather, hearing him under a
new. darkness. Covered with mud, groping
about in the darkness, be improved the odd oc
casion with such an incessant run of witticisms
and anecdotes that I had to conclude that we
had reached a condition which had discovered
treasures of fun and humor in him before un
siaspected. Ilis deep bass voice came through
the congenial darkness like a mirthful thunder,
not without flashes of light; and the shades of
all who ever stumbled in the night seemed
around him, and to remind him of a whole
literature of such emergencies. Vexation was
at least not among the shadows that encom
passed us, though for a time we were wander
ing in a muddy field, with no objeet,,not even
the sky visible. " That this should have . hap
pened after dinner !" be exclaimed. " Do not
mention this to the temperance folk." Tenny
son's love of fun, his wealth of witty stories,
were from the first a surprise to me. But. ,
indeed, he is personally very different in every
way from the man I expected to see. Tall; of
daik complexion, with a deep and blunt voice
and manner. almost' Quaker-like in its plain
ntss, fond of the homeliest Saxon words, he
seemed to be the last, person one would have
picked out as the delicate and superartistie
idylist. In conversation he neVer, rose into
anything like the heroic strain; except when
si;eaking of England. his pride in his country
amounts to a passion. He had also a keen lo
ftiest, in all scientific subjects, concerning
which he has eVidently read a great deal: He
spoke much of the philosophical questions of
the day, also, his interest in which has led to
the formation _ of_ the meetings__ for: „discussion
between Huxley, Tyndall, Dr. Manning,James
Idartiuesu, himself and others. Next morn
ing it Was found that Mrs. Tennyson had di
rected the gardener to make some improve
ments at that point whielibad not been corn,
pleted. A walk was in' existence there, how
ever, at the close of the next' day, to which was
given a name commemorative of the catas
trophe, which was happily, without any un
pleasant results.
An article on Civil Service ReforM, full of
heartburn about what we lose in collecting re
venue, is by A. R. Dlacdenougb. Col. Adam
Badeau, with the President's Inauguration al,.
lusion to the Alabama Question for a text, an
alyzes our present relations with England. A
portrait of Bolivar, as Liberator of South Ame
rica, is enthuslastically drawn by Mr. Eugene
Lawrence. Of fiction, the continuation of
"Anteros," by Mr. Lawrence, author of "Guy
Livingstone ;" that of "A Brave lady," by the
author of "John Halifax," and several short
tales, make up the complement. 'The Easy
Chair is light and felicitous in its touch upon
Robertson's play of Ours, at Wallack's, on
American imprudence in not forestalling acci
dents, on Jenkins, and other bores. The new

THE FBEEDHIEN'S CHOOLS ON SW
HELENA ISLAND. S. C.
Highly Interesting Cetter.
The lbßowing letter, addressed to the Freed
men's Relief Association of this St4e, will be
found intensely interesting : ' '
FEOGMOEE, ST., HELENA ISLAND, S. C.,
Feb. 5 18'70.-71 inclose the reports for the
tlgee schools in. this district. .They show even
fuller numbers, though the average is not quite
so large. It is very good yet, being a little
over seventy-live per cent.; but it. must, de
crease,as soon as the working season fairly
opens. It is so warm now that 'those who are
"fore-handed'' are already beginning. Every
year we see improvement hi the work and
mode of doing it. This must be so, as the
freedmen get used to owning laud, and
dwell in Security upon it. Their interest in its
improvement grows with their attachment to
it. Some who own low land are ditching,it in
a most thorough and admirable manner.
There is also arising considerable emulation
in houses. Two-stories, with glass windows
•and brick chimney, are now considered re
quisites. Floors have long been felt to be a
.necessity, and lofts, in which to stow away the
young men of the family. Formerly they all—
girls, boys, father and mother, everybody—
slept on heaps of clothing on the mud floors in
the poorer places, but for a long time they have
had floors and lofts. Only this winter, and
perhaps last year in a few instances, did this
ambition for " shingle palaces" arise. We hail
it as an excellent omen. Yet, in speaking of
the security which encourages thrift, I must
mention a shock it received this winter. The
old rebel owners have entered suit against
several of the Northerners, and, of the freed
men who have' bought land , of the
Government. . They claim ten thousand
dollars damages in every case for trespass on
their property - ! The freedmen were,of course,
'alarmed, but the other purchasers and occu
piers,such as myself,had no fears,and we have,
think,shown the freedmen there is no ground
for apprehensions. The plantations were duly
taxed; the proper advertisements made in
Charleston and other papers. The contu
macious owners would pay no tax to the
United'States Government, and their places
were sold for taxes in the legal way. They
were allowed two years in which to redeem
them, but they were still rebellious, and,
though fully aware of the lawful method of re
covering them, they refused to take it. Their
plantations were sold and resold. Divided into
ten-acre lots in some places, they were sold to
freedmen who were generally born on the plan
tations on which they have settled. They
. cleared the land, built., houses, and have occu
pied it five years in some cases. These suits
were to be tried before the court in Beaufort,
last mouth, but the old owners deferred the
trial, and so they always do, knowing that
legally they have no valid claims. But,despair
ing of a legal decision in their favor,they now
petition Congress, hoping that "magnanimity "
will prevail over justice, as in so many cases
heretofore, and knowing that the'rock upon
which they split—Stanton—is gone. They
have the coolness to propOse that Congress
should give them back their lands, and set
apart public lands elsewhere for those to whom
it legally sold theirs, after giving them- time , to
redeemtheM if tey wished. That is, they
would have . all these thousands of freedmen
ejected from their homesteads and sent to,
settle new lands,, that a few dozen
aristocrats might rebel ,at their leisure
in future in their old homes, and make
trouble for Government without fear of penalty.
. I wish every member of Congress knew the
exact facts of the case, and then there would
be no fear of the result of this petition. But 1
dare say few will inform themselves, and so a
deal of sympathy will be wasted upon those
who were the first to incite to rebellion and
the last to forgive defeat. They have, hoWever,
never shrunk from 'aid from the Government
they would have destroyed, and for a long time
one of the signers of that petition received
rations-for thirteen of his family, while at the
same time he refused to sell one of his many
plantations to his former slaves, who offered to
buy it at a fair price.
tanton was fully informed on the subject of
these lands, and much interested in their dis
poSition. I hope Grant shared his views.
I think the public ifeeling here is, being
aroused against the whisky-shops, that have
already done so much harm on the island.
There are .to'kensl of •an awakening to the
danger of hiving them so plentiful and acces
sible.
Our little "St. Helena Band of Hope"
ready numbers over one hundred and fifty
members, and includes many of the most
respectable and influential young men of the
island. The meetings are held every twqq,
weeks,at our schoolhouse or that on Fregmore,
and are quite interesting.
• Yours, very respectfully,

A V itsrr BY THE POPE TO THE &MEW
CAN COLLEGE IN ROME.
A liothatt ',correspondent of the Catholic
.Stombuyi writes as follows :
11°2%1E, Jan. 213, 1670.—Bishops Wood and
Shanahan are at the, American College. Both
at' preient enjoy - excellent health: Indeed the
writer has never belbre seen Bishop Shanahan
look so hearty and so strong. Bishop 011ara
always seems in good spirits.
Nome and the Vatican now, as
,you are
aware, are exciting great comment, and clamor
in the journals of Europe. We have mites-
Fthdents here from every quarter, They ex
pected: no'donht, to be admittedte the sessions
of the Connell:in virtuj. of their•Oflice,. but, for
' innately, or unfortunately as the case may be,
they were not admitted, nor can they ferret out
a single item of •reliable: inforniation. Renee
they adopt another method. They .would not
give truth at all events, and falsehood is good
wheie truth would be unpalatable. They tell
ns gravity.that thirty of our American
Bishops are, opposed to a declaration of the
dogina'of infallibility.
These gentlemen, in their eagerness to pander
to - the wishes of their patrons, forget their usual
tact, and falsehood and pure mental fabrication
am evident on every page. Truly, they pay
great deference to the judgment of an en-
lightened age and people. All in their estima
lion must be mental- pigmies with the excep
tion of themselves..
Nothing of what transpires in the secret
sessions of the Council can be known outside
of it, for all admitted there are pledged to
secresy and silence, until tLe decrees are 'pub
licly-aunounced: -So these strange. facts and
startling announcements from a Protestant and
Free-thinking presS you may estimate fir just
hat,theyare worth and 110 more. ,
knowing that anything- . connected with' our
Holy Father will be read with 'pleasure by the
pat r ons'of the Standard. I avail myself 'of an
event which forms indeed an oasis in the deSert
of a student's life,.and.one which will always.
be a pleasing souvenir for all who had the hap
piness of enjoying it with us—the visit of his
Holiness Pius IX. to the American College, in
Rome. It was a joyful surprise when we were
told that he was coming on the morning of the
2ittli. • Preparations were hastily made. We
longed to welcome him in a right royal way,
and if our Collego lacked •in suitable external
appearanees; we Could only hOpe that such
would be overlooked. Our joy was Unbounded
when We realiied that we Were to receive
the successor of Peter--4he venerable Pius
—in our home. Our corridors were hung
with festoons of bright flowers, and orange
trees with their-dark green, foliage and laden
with their golden fruit, added acharm tt many
before silent and deserted walks. Carpets
Were laid along the way where the Pope
would pass after descending from his carriage.
Front the entrant* in , front' th 4 stairway
leading.' to :oar Hector's rooms, stretched a
beautiful pathway arched overhead with gar
lands, and at either side, statues and paintings
and Nature's loveliest plantd. About midway
stood a lovely Madonna in marble, so well ex
ecuted that it drew the attention and elicited
the adMiration of and. 'Aim the Holy
Father himself the exelaniatior4 " Cite Della
Madonna!"
We are all assembled in our little, church,
with many, visitors who came to sllat4 with j - us
our jey.'' 'The' yellow sand thrown along the
way from the Vatican to the College was the
signal to Rome that the Holy Father was corn
ing to see us, for the fellow sand ended, at , trut
door. A large crowd - was gathered ' outside,
but none who were not previously invited
could effect an entrance, for our doors were
now guarded by a detachment of the Swiss
guard. Soon we,heard the platter,of the Noble
guard, arid 4mid,the Pealing of, ; 'bells and the
vivas , of the people the Pdpe' entered the 'Col
lege. Ile came immediately to the church,
accompanied by three of the Cardinals,Patrivii,
Barnabo and';.Alartaltii followed our
American Bishops together kith about fifty
from other countries. , „
iNlass Was' - celebrated' by one of the' ' Papal'
Chaplains, the Holy Father kneeling on a Prie,
(licit placed near the'allg. Wheu'it was finished
the Pope was 'c'enducted to a throne ' PrePtired
for him.. This was most beautifully situated.
:Now we could have a near vie vir of that venera 7
ble old man who has So long been the objeef of
interest with princes and the people• ,
was mild,'.eretin and calm: There is; iick
dent sigh of feebleness or failing health:, 'His
eye is yet bright'and his brow bears scarcell
lle way live many wore years, and
make his 'eventful pontificate - more eventfiii
still.
.He evidently.will make an exception to
that current ,saying which. 18 tolAl-ta evert Pope,
and which is now in the opinion of many,
moils than tnorally , certain, but which the last
Gregofy said was de' fido—"tit non videbia
anoos Petri."
Now was read the decree de virlubis in the
'cause of the Beatification and Canonization of
John Aneina, Bishop of SaluzZo. He was one
of the early disciples of St. 'Philip de Neri.
klevas born' in Fossario in .Piedmont, and
consecrated Bishop. of Saluzzo by Cardinal.
Boighese, afterwards, Paul the in 1602,
and akthe close of 1004 died. ills life is now
published in a little pamphlet.
The Pope then made a feeling addreSain the
Italian language, to the
,Bishops present; lie
Alltided,to the occsion, and exhorted' them to
'fortitude, patience and : perseverance. .1.16 told
the 4,b use discretion In word and deed, but
when time and circumstance's called them,
they should boldly combat error-and preach the
trutheto all. ills voice is loud and strong, and
his earnestness in speaking is remarkable.
Several the*Oratorians returned thanks in a
brief.Jort beautiful :response. This 'finished,
the'Holy Father with the Cardinals and',Bish
ops, repaired to cur Saila, or;' ball, whete re
freshments were prepared. . .
