news that the French Government has given notice of its intention to abrogate, at the expiration of a given time, all commer- cial treaties now existing between her and other nations. The mest important of these treaties are those with England, Bel- gium, Germany and the United States. The exact purpose of this notification is not |

| yet positively asceriained, but it is believed

to be only a measure intended to procure better terms with Germany and Austria. Under existing treaties, both of these countries claim from France, under the ‘most favored nation” clause, all the privileges that she gives England, Belgium and the United States. Now Prince Bis- marek proposes to make modifications which will seriously injure French interests, and against which France can guard only by abrogating all present treaties and nego- tinting new ones. “es An Oijid Soldier.

Alphonse Demers lives in Pointe Lane, off St. Joseph street. He isa relic of the grande armee of Napoleon I, He was born in the town of St, Etienne, France, and is just verging upon 93 years of age. When 20 years of age he was conscripted into the French army, and served under Napoleon in nearly all his campaigns from that time. He served in the disastrous march to Rus sia, the evil etfeets of which he speaks with horrer and dread to this very day. On his return he was drafted into the bnperial Guards, and did duty with them through- out the Prussian campaign, and finally fin ished his career as a soldier on the field of Waterloo. Being a strong supporter of Napoleon, he was subsequently arrested, but, eflecting his escape, fled to Canada, where he las since resided. His body is one mass of sears, honorably gained—a sword cut on the head at the battle of Hylan, the loss of the left arm at Waterloo, an eye at Leipsic, the left thumb at Fried. land and innumerable other cuts. In fact, it is truly surprising how the aged man is so hearty to-day. While narrating his ex- ploits, his only eye glistened and bright- ened with the enthusiasm and ardor of his youthful days. The Legion of Honor was pinned un his breast by the Emperor him- self, immediately after the battle of Dres- den. He was subsequently offered a com- mission in aline corps, but he preferred remaining in the Imperial Guards. The old man is well worth a visit by anyone wishing to see such a grand old relic of the former days of the French Napoleonic grandeur.— Montreal Post.

Canadians Honored.

There are at present ten Canadian knights and two baronets. Sir John A. Macdonald was created a K. C. B. in 1867 for his services on behalf of confederation. Sir Alexander T. Galt was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George for similar services in 1869, though he had expressed himself in favor of the independence of Canada. Sir John William Buell Richards, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Dominion, was knighted in 1877 with Sir A. A. Dorion, Chief Justice of Quebec. Sir Francis Hincks was knighted many years ago,when, after a stormy political career in Canada, he was appointed to a colonial governor- ship in the West Indies, which he abandon- ed on his return here in 1868. Sir Edward Kenny, of Halifax, and Sir Narcisse Bel- leau, of Quebec, were knighted in i877. Sir Albert J. Smith was knighted for his services as Minister of Marine and Fish- eries during the Halifax Commission. Sir William Young, Chief Justice of Nova Scotia, was knighted in 1869, and Sir Hugh Allan in 1869. Sir John Rose Bart., of the London banking firm of Morton, Rose & Co., was knighted for his confederation and other services to Canada, just before leaving this country, and has since been made a baronet. Sir James L. Robinson, Bart, is the con of a former chief justice of Upper Canada, who was created a baronet for his services to the Crown. The present Sir James is now a clerk ata small salary in the law courts over which his father used to preside. Hugh Miller, in ene of his works, tells of «a Scotch baronetcy which was held by a hod-carrier, to whom the masons were went to cry, ‘Sir So-and-So, some more mortar!” In Os- goode Hall the lawyers call on Sir James Lukin Robinson, Bart., to register this or make another copy of that with the utmost disregard for Ins dignity. Besides these there are a number of C. B’s and C. M. G's. Dr. Tupper, M. Langevin, Mr. Tilley, Mr. McDougall and others are Commanders of the Bath, while many prominent Goyern-

ment officials have been admitted into the Commandery cf St. Michael and St. Ceorge.

The Dukedom of Bedford.

(From the New York World. )

There is a rumor in London that the title and estates of the Dukedom of Bedford will be claimed by a person professing to be the eldst_ son, by a private marriage, of the eighth Duke, who died, ostensibly ‘un- married, in May, 1872, and was then suc- ceeded by his cousin, Francis Charles Hast- ings Russell, eldest son of Lord George William Russell and grandson of John, sixth Duke Bedford. ‘The present Duke is an older brother of Lord Arthur Russell, M. P., well-known in this country, and of Lord Odo Russell, now British Ambassador at Berlin. Thirty years ago he married the eldest daughter of the fifth Earl of Delawar, and by her has four children, the oldest-of whom, George William, called by courtesy the Marquis of Tavistock, was married only the other day. A successful law suit brought by a new claimant would make a tremen- dous tempest in the social teapot of Londen aristocratic life, for the fortune of the ducal house of Bedford is one of the largest held in the Peerage. Much of it came into the family through the plundering of the chureh in the sixteenth century, when John Ras- sell, of Berwick, in Dorsetshire, got him- self into the royal favor under Henry VIT., and contrived to keep in that wholesale sunshine through the reigns of Henry VIIL., Edward VI., and Queen Mary, being created Earl of Bedford by Edward VL, and made a Knight of the Garter by Mary. The Earldom became a dukedom under William IT in 1694. The family own an immense estate in the wetropelis, which has increased in yelue greatly during the last half century.

Generali Grant in Ireland.

ee

The llerald’s Londondery special reports that Gen. Grent left Dublin quietly on the éth inst. At Dunlak, Armagh, Straihane and other stations large crowds assembled. The people cheered, putting their’ hands into the cars, and shaking hands whenever possible. The expression of ill-feeling Cork had aroused the Protestant sentiments of Ulster in his favor. At Derry, an immense crowd assembled. The Mayor welcomed Gen. Grant cordially, and he left the ata- tion amid great cheering, mingled with groans from the Nationalists who called out ‘* Why didn’t you receive O’Connor Power.” The great majority of the crowd cheered madly, and followed Grant’s car- riage to the hotel. The ships in the harbor were decorated, and the town en fete. A remarkably cold driving rain set in just at Gen. Grant drove in state to the anciens town hall. The crowd was so dense near the hall that progress was difficult. At the entrance the Mayor and Council, in their robes of office, received the ex-President. An address was read extolling the military and civil career of Gen. Grant, which was pronounced second in honor only to that of Washington. General Grant then signed the roll, thus making himself an. Ulster Irishman. He said no incident of his trip was more pleasant than accepting citizen- ship at the hands of the representatives of this ancient and honored city, with whose history the people of America were so fami- liar. He regretted his stay in Ireland would be so brief; he had originally intend- ed embarking from Queenstown direct for the United States, in which case he would have remained a much longer time on the snug little Island, but having resolved to visit India he was compeiled to make his stay short. He could not return home without secing Ireland and the peopie in whose welfare the people of the United States took so deep an interest.
