Consequently, the newest functionary In offloa odnsldered he was boond to be forever signing psssports, oompcalng peraonsl descriptions, giving vifor, granting reoommandstions. and.

That endemic disoae-of tbe French police, engrafted on the ayatem of terror, produced the moat extraordinary specimens of cillg' rapby that were ever eeen.
