BTOUIEM OF EI'GKNE FIELD.
Tales of tli." I'oot I hat Are Told Among
III* Chlcftgn Friends.
New York Sun.
During one financial crisis that was
especially severe, Eugene Field could see
no way out of his difficulties except to ask
for a raise of salary, and that was as ab
horrent to his fine neture as it would have
been to do a mean action. Several days in
succession he came to the office resolved to
make appeal to Mr. Stone, and each diy
he w.-nt liom«\ ha\ ng fail*" tr> nerve him
self up to the speakimr point. Finally he
formed a thoroughly characteristic resec
tion. and for a week was not seen In the
ofti eat all. The® one afternoon he mar di
ed into Mr. Stone's oftl e followed by four
of his little children. the five of them pre
senting such a pit.able apjtearance as
wo ild have urung tears from his employer
had his heart and h;s name been synonym
ous. whieh was far from being the case.
Father and children were dressed In ra«rs
and tatters from head to foot. The chil
dren's toes were sticking out bare through
holes in their shoes, their fact * were un
washed. and their «>es red. as if thy had
} nt rying. F• Id himself was In no better
plight, an 1 ther<» the five stood in front of
Mr Stone, speaking not a word, but iook
iiuf at h'm wth appealing glances. All
this. of course, had t»een arefuly r hearsed
by Field during the week of conspiracy,
and the result was simply overwhelming.
At last PI. M broke the silence, looking at
) s employer, who was also h'« best frie.id.
out of these big e>es so full of human
kindness, and said:
•T»n you think you can see your way,
Mr Stone, to raisin* my salary?"
Needless to say. he got the raise.
One of Field's happiest Impromptu verges
was written on the fly leaf of a book he
] r. rented to Francis Wilson one day wh-le
they were together in what Fie! i called
the Saint's and Sinner's Corner in a Chi
cago bo« k store. Strangely enough, the

Paris. Jan. 18.—Charles Thomas Floquet.
ex-prescient of the council of ministers,
is dead.
' harles Thomas Floquet was born In
France, October 5, lfcili, an J was educated
a? a lawyer. He was a zealous Republi
can during the latter Jays of the empme
of Napoleon the IJttle. In 151JT the < zsir
of Russia was the guest of Napoleon HI.,
and with him was visiting the palace of
Jus ice. \\ hile at the palace there was
heard a cry of "Vive la Pologr.e. Mon-
E>,jr ' (Live the Pole) addressed to the
ruler of all the Russia?. The cry came
frutn a lawyer standing in a group of his
colleagues to watch the passing of the
imperial party. That cry, which has been
so much spoken of, and which for a t.me
was attributed to Gambetta, and which
might have had most serious consequences,
came from Charles Flo<juet, then a promis
ing young aivocate. noted at the t:me for
his extreme liberal ideas. He became at
once celebrated and fortune smiled on him.
He appeared as counsel for the accused in
numerous political trials dur:ng the sec
oid empire. In February, 1871, he was
elected to the natrmal assembly, but re
aimed because unable to effect a reconcil
iation between the government and the
commune, llemg charged w:th complicity
with the commune, he was imprisoned for
several months. He served five years in
the municipal council of France as a Rad
ical. and became president of the council.
In IS7'» he was elected a member of the
chamber of deputies, ani acted with the
extreme left. He was appointed prefect of
the S' ine in Jv'O by Gam:»etta. and worked
In perfect harmony with the municipality
until he was compelled to rrsign because
of his sv mpathy with the autonomist de
mands of the Parisians. In October. I*S2.
h» was elected a deputy, and was chosen
president of the chamber -when M. Bris
son became premier in ISSS. He presided
over the chamber with dignity and impar
tially-. No man in France was his supe
rior as a presiding officer. He was well up
In parliamentary law. understood all the
deputies, and knew how to appease their
wrath and moderate their excitement. Al
most without effort he calmed the worst
tempests, and by a few appropriate, witty
words ma ie adversaries of the republic
complaisant. If not orderly. His good taste,
his finesse and common sense, backed up
by a quickness of repartee that was as as
tonishing as it was agreeable, enabled him
to command the respect of the entire cham
ber an l the admiration of his own party.
In May. I*B7, Floquet was called upon to
form a ministry, but failed. On April 3.
he formed a Radical cabinet, in which
he was president of the council and min
ister of the interior, and Immediately an
nounced his Intention of "dealing with pre
tenders. whether draping themselves in
the flag or speaking in plebiscitary enig
mas." This was a direct declaration of
war on that notorious humbug and would
be Napoleon, Boulanger.
When Gen. Boulanger was presented for
the first time as a candidate for the cham
ber in four departments. Gen. Ix>gerot.
minister of war, sought an Interview with
h.m, and after receiving his positive denial
that he had taken any part in the election
maneuvers, told him to return to o"lerm int.
the headquarters of tfle army corps which
he commanded, and take care that h:.* name
should not be improperly used by his friends
In the future. Not many days afterward he
broke his parole by going to Paris in dls
(Lruisii, where he was recognized by an armv
officer, and on investigation it was found
that he had personally directed the elec
tioneering campaign by means of cipher
telegrams. For these acta he was reliev. i
of his command and placed on nun-activ
ity, and called before a court-martial con
sisting of five on March 2»>.
Tl. s was the signal for demonstrations for
and a? aicst Boulanger, an 1 while his trial
was pending 1 he was a candidate at Mar
seilles. receiving a small vote, and in Ai3ne,
where he healed the poll at the primary
election, although as an orticer In active
service he was Ineligible, and then with
drew in favor of one of h.s partisans. lie
defended himself before the military court
by saying that he came to Paris to visit, his
s k wife, and denying his participation in
the electoral canvass, but when confronted
with the telegraphic dispatches he made no
answer. The court voted unanimously
against him. and I'resident Oarnot signed
the decree placing him on the retired list.
Freed thus from the restraints imposed by
military duties, he openly took the
Held as a candidate for the department of
Xord. with an address in which he accused
the chamber ot suppressing the defense of
the nation, and the senate of checking ev
ery reform, and his Judges of condemning
him for reasons they dared not avow. His
ondemnation gave bim a greater promi
r« nee than he had before. The antagonists
of the third republic— Imperialists. Cleri
cals. Royalists and many extreme Radi
us and S weialists—supported him, openly
and secretly, as the representative of dis
satisfaction with the existing order cf
th ngs and w ,th th- men who controlled the
I oi)x? Of the nation. His popularity rested
htetly on the military reforms that he had
effected as minister of war. He was regard
ed among the common soldiers and the
I ,c intrv is the creator of an army that
was < apable, or soon would be, of avenging
S ian. and in h:s speeches he hinted vague
ly at war. The rural voters, who formerly
a thered to the empire, at the be k of Bona-
I artist leaders, now turned to Boulanger as
th* embodiment of the idea of personal gov
f rnm-tit, whi h is strong among the French
p asantry. Boulanger called himself a
d'-m-K'ratic republican, althotigh h's po
ll; a I friends a;. 1 financial supporters were
Bonapartist«, and In h s demand for a re
vsion of the constitution he hinted at a

Ing Gen. Boulanger showed a deterrnina
t: >n to make the di.»l fatal, rushing into
close quarte's with impetuosity, and aftei
the interchange of siight wounds on botij
sides M. Floquet, in parrying a thrust,
pierced him in the throat, inflicting a se
vere wound to the carotid artery. Tha
result was humiliating to the soldier, par
ticularly so because M. Floquet had a rep-|
tnatlon of not knowing how to handle a
sword, and had not practiced for twenty
years till the preceding winter, when he
fenced for the benefit of his health. On Au
gust 1? he was a can iidate in the elections
that were held in the department of the
Nord. where his majority was only 2T..*X> in
the Charente- Inferieure. where he receive!
67,000 votes to 42.<K«0, and in the Sorame,
where he had 75.000 votes to 41 W for his
Republican opponent. After this electoral
triumph, which caused much alarm
throughout Europe. Gen. Boulanger disap
peared. and traveled Incognito in foreign
lands, not returning till October. On the
24th of that month he appeared before the
revision committee of the chamber, having
two days before taken his seat as a mem
ber for the Sorr.me. On October 30 the Paris
police seized the pictures of G«?n. Boulan
ger that were being sold on the streets.
Floquet then waged vigorous war on the
Boulangists. and although he resigned on
March 30, IMS. because of the uncertainty
of his majority, the following ministry
adopted his poli y. Boulanger was desert
ed by his Socialist allies, wo were using
him onlv as a tool, was convicted of em
bezzlement, anl fled to Brussels, where,
penniless and friendless, he committed sui
cide at the grave of his mistress, Mme. de
Bonnemaln. The net result of Boulangisin
was the emptying of the Bonapartist cof
fer- and the strengthening of Radicalism
In France. Floquet was at one time editor
of the Temps, and later of the Slecle. He
favored the separation of church and state,
and was influential in obtaining the banish
ment of all the members of royalist fam
ilies from France. Floquet was unfortu
nately smirched by the Panama canal ex
posure. and, though small blame attached
to him, he was retired from public life.

BACK IIMM THE CITY OF SI.EEP
Over the edge of the purple down.
Where the single lamri-iight gleams,
Know ye the road to tne Merciful Town
That Is hard by the Sea of Dreams—
Where the jtoor may lay their wrongs
away.
And the rich may forget to weep?
But we—pity us! Oh. pity us!
We wakeful: ah, pity us!
We must go back P li -man Day-
Back from the City of Sleep!
Weary they turn from the scroll and
crown.
Fetter and prayer and plow—
They that go up to the Merciful Town,
For the gates are closing now.
It is their riirht in s baths of Night
Body and soul to steep:
But we—pity us! ah. pity us!
We wakeful: oh. pUy us'—
We must go back with policeman Day—
Back from the City of Sleep.
Over the edge of the purple down.
Ere the tender dreams begin.
Look—we may look—at the Merciful Town,
But we may not enter in.
Out asts all. from her guarded wall
IJack to our watch we creep;
We—pity us! ah, pit> us!
We wakeful: oh. pitv us'
We that go back with Policeman Day-
Back from the City of Sleep.

devoted to his art, he is. nevertheless, very
appreciative of applause. It is evident that
the people of Atlanta do not appreciate the
artistic plays which I have taken so much
cart» to produce. I have brought a very
expensive company to Atlanta, but the to
tal receipts from my three performances
would not pay for raising the curtain :n
the first play. I understand that my friend,
Henry Irving, will soon come here, and I
presume that he will carry away a great
