Brevities Pasadena, April 4.—At the regular meeting of the Shakespeare olub on Friday afternoon the first paper pre sented was one of unusual merit, by Mrs. Bandini, on Robespierre. Mrß. Bandlni gave a review of his life and the characteristics tbat brought him fame and popularity, maintaining that it was the fact that he always had a definite purpose, backed by a strong will to carry it out, that carried him to the great point of ascendency tbat he enjoyed. Her picture of tbe condi tion of the French nation at the time of the revolution was a graphic one, showing nt the same time much study and research as to the causes leading op to that crisis. A paper waa read, written by Miss EmmaLsntz, a member of the club, who is at present in Denver. It was ou Napoleon, and gave a rather unusual view of the great general, showing up his weak points, whioh are usually for gotten in the great admiration of his biographers for his genius as a general. She cited many instances to show that he was a man destitute of any generous sentiments and even lacking in com-| mon truth and honesty; in fact, that he was an unscrupulous tyrant, not oiring how he obtained his power, if only be obtained it. She sent also a paper by Charles W. Everett, a lawyer of Denver, whioh gave another view of Napoleon, dealing with his strong points in an able manner. Miss Lent z gave extracts from the writings of M. and Mme. de Bemueat in support of her position, and also read extracts from a catechism said to have been actually prlntsd aud used in Spain with such questions aud answers as th- following: C illd, what art thou? .V Spaniard by the grace of God. Who is our enemy? Tbe emperor of the trench. What is the emperor of tbe French? A wicked being, the source of all our evils and the center of all our vice. flow many natures has he? Two, the human and the diabolical. What are the French? Apostate Christians turned heretics. Mrs. Webh read a beautifully written poem, and then the election of officers was proceeded with. Mrs. Ooleman was elected president for next year; Mrs. Bandini and Mrs. Na9h vice-presidents; Mrs. Crtlly, secretary; Mrß. Braddock, treasurer; Mrs. Chapin, Mrs. Bandlni and Mrs. Webb were named as program committee.
