Ac tion off Rntppprr. i At all the great crises of Fren.di life the element i f )ireternatmal mif pii ioij Iikh flayed an Important port. Like some mischievous l'uck it hovers over the land, whisperlinj tlonlits hero, mid (,'ivinnH there, converting tho whole na tion into iiinnchartlft, whoso btiMlneMi it in to set a vv.irrh on their neighbor tiny mill niht. We bnvo such a profound admiration for many qualities of tlin French people, snch a sincere belief in t'jf; necessity of a powerful French fac tor in the complex nich of modern civilization, that wo ran afford to bring this charKe of miduo suspicion aguitMt France a a whole. No student of French history can fail to nee thn con fusion it has wrought. It in not the growth of yesterday, bat it in almost as evident in tho memoirs of the Franc of the seventeenth century as on the Paris boulevards at the present moment. It pervaded the court and the official elates in the time of Richelion, it win constantly present in the mind of Muzu riu when negotiating with Cromwell, mu1 it in visible all through the panes of the memoirs of De Heta. This spirit of preternatural suspicion naturally at tained its climax in the French revolu tion, when, for the first time, tho mon archy was involved iu ita infinite on taui'lenient. From tho moment when tho national assembly met nt Versailles to the day when Napoleon was banished to Klba universal suspicion filled the air and dictated the cruel aspect of French pol icy. Tho queen was, of course, inspect ed, and justly, ia political matters, and perhaps it was not ul together uniensou ablo that tho suspicion in which she was enveloped should have attached to ber wenk but perfectly houost huslinud, who wax assumed to be absolutely un der her fatal influence. Tho attack ou tho Bastille was ani mated not merely by memories of the past, not ia the least because of actual cruelties at the time, for. there waa none, but mainly becauso it was sus pected that the Bastille was to be utilized as an armed fortress to overawe Paris. The day if the "black cockades" and tho march of the Maenads (to use Car lyle's graphic phraseology) were due to excited auspielon. The assembly had scarcely organized itself before tho demon of suspicion spread its dusky wings over that body, and Mirabeau and Baruavo, at llrst popular idols, became surpected of intrigue with the court The vigorous personalities who came to the frout all suseoted one another. To then the famous warning which Benjamia Franklin addressed to the founders of the American republic "Gentlemen, we must bang together or we shall hang separately," would have been useless. They could not bang to gether, and they did hang, or were guillotined, separately. It wasDuntou's suspicion of an aristocrutio plot which caused the September massacres. It waa pnro suspicion that created the most re volting and unjust of all tho revolu tionary excesses, the tribunal of Fou-qnter-Tinvillo. Danton in his tura was suspected and full. . We may, of course, justify the suspi cion of Dnmourioz, but what possible explanation cau be given of the suspi cion of the barm less astronomer I'ailly, with liis precisian virtues, who paid with his head for the dangerous folly of ineddUug with thiuga be did not un derstand? It was obviously question of war to the knife between Jucobiu and Qirondin, for each took an absolutely different view of both foreign and in ternal politios; but why could not the struggle have boen confined to party wnrfare within the walls of the con vention? Why was it necessary to deci mute the Giroudin chiefs? The only answer that can be made ia that suspi cion bad grown to such pitch that the very existence of Girondism was con sidered incompatible with the seourit. of tbo repu' 'io. Men bad become fren zied, insane, through oonstant spying on one another actions and perpetual at tempts to fathom one another's inwa thoughts, and the "law of suspect was simply a formal expression of na tional crtizinoss. That way madness lies. In the persiu of Robespierre pretermit ural suspic in attained ita most com plete incarnation. His feline uuture wo ever on the dart for ita prey. He ooul not bear a good word said of any man but be instantly began to revolve in bit mind the question as to whether there were not some concealed motive in the praise. The shout of triumphant relief which reverberated over France when Robespierre's heud foil into the basket marked the broak of the straining point of that suspicion which had created an J sustained the terror. Wbea we remem ber that but for an aocident Carnt.t would have fallen a victim to Robes pierre's suspicious and that thia suspi cions disposition had led a man of senti mental virtuo to become a wholesale . murderer, we can understand that feel ing of relief.

When It Is Hearty, tha Batliifartlna Is In "Rating It All Vonrwll." .lames Prosser, a famous colored ca terer of this city, dead long ago, fur nished thn following formula for pre paring and serving terrapin, which was published in n gastrowmil Jounn-1 at the time when ho was on earth: "Yon enn't enjoy terrapin nniess tm day Is nlppln. Temperature and terra pin (to hand in hand. Now, es to your terrapin. Lies you, there is all thn iM (Terence in the world in them. Thn Morn northerly is the terrapin found tho aetter. You cut H Florida terrapin yon needn't despise it, for terrapin is terra pin everywhere but yon get a Chesa peake nun or a Delaware buy one, or, better still, a Long Island one, and tlie.ro is Just the difference between $10. a tioren and $:tl. Warm water kinder washes tbo delicate flavor ont of them Don't yon let Mr. ISergli know it, but yonr terrapin must be boiled alive Have a good big pot. with n hot Are un der it, so that he shan't languish, mid when it has got on a full head of steam pop him in. What I am roIii to give i a recipe for a single one. If you are aw fully rich and go in for a gross of terra pin, just use your multiplication table just as soon as be caves in watch him and try his flippers. When they part when you pry there with yonr finger nail, he is good. Open him nicely with knife. Billn of him dislocates the snuffbox There ain't overmuch of it, more's the pity. The most is in the jiuts of the legs and side lockers, but if yon want to commit murder Just yon smash bis gall, and then your terrapin is gone forever. Watch closely for egg ami handle them gingerly. Now, huv in got biiu or ber all into shape, put the meat aside. Take three fresh eggs you must have them fresh. Uile 'em hard and masl) 'em smooth. Add to that a tnblespoonful of sifted flour. three tnblespoonfuls of cream, salt and pepper (red pepper to a terrapin is just depravity) and two wineglasses of sher ry wine. Wine as eosta 13.60 a bottle ain't a bit too good. There never was a gotega in ail Portugal that wouldn't think itself honored to have itself mixed ap with a ten-apiu. Now you want quite a quarter of a pound of the very best fresh butter and put that in a porcelain covered pan und melt it first mustn't be browned. When it's come to be oily, put in your terrapin, yolks of egg, wine and all. Let it simmer gently Bilin up two or three times does the business What you are after Is to make it blend. There ain 't notbin that must be too point ed iu terrapin stew. It wants to be a quiet thing, a suave thing, just pervad ed with a most beantiful and natural terrapiu aroma. You must serve it to the people that eats it un a hot plate, but the real thing is to have it on chufln dish, and though a inau ought not to be selfish there is a kind of divine satisfaction in eatin it all yourself.

The two maid servants of the postmaster distributed through the city the daily letters, which they carried in the same basket with thn family marketing. Letters wore carried out of tho city by postilions. There was a number of couriers, aud as a surety against inistakos there hung iu the post office, beside tho curious mail bags, u hugo whip, with which, when the com mission hud been given to the courier, a powerful blow for the strengthening of hi momory was dealt him. Coaches aud post wagons were inno cent of any suggestion of comfort a high, clumsy wooden box waa secured by thick leathern straps, and in the cavernous bottom were confined together packages aud passengers. Up and down bill, over ruts and rocks, tho cumbrous vehicle rattlod on ita way, the hapless travelera being ever on the defousive against the assaults of tumbling boxes and bundles. And then the weary slow ness of tlio .uyl Formerly the journey from Stuttgart to Tubingen waa made in 1 ii hours. The same journey ia now made in four hours. The postilions alighted tu take refreshments when it pleased them, and one traveler has left a dismal record of a journey that ho ouce made, during which the driver took tho horses from the carriage aud attached them to a hay wagon that had been left mired in the mud. The muu drove the wagon into tho next village, aud wbeu there he joiuod the grateful uoighbors iu a carousal, while the tired passengers languished on the dusty country road. Elise J.
