It Is quite probable that Jean Francois Marie Sadi Carnot would have been spared to the public During his journey President Faure's guard consisted, first, of the special brigade of the Elsee palace, a carefully picked body of men composed of fourteen Inspectors, and commanded by a brlgadter-genera- l, second, of what Is now known throughout Paris as the New Brigade, consisting of twenty detectives carefully chosen from out of the ranks of the entire Parisian police force, third, the commlssalres of police in each city that he visited during bl tour, each backed by a carefully selected platoon This latter force did not, of course, accompany the president on the train, but was simply drawn up at each depot, and formed an outer guard during his stay In that particular city. In regard to the special brigade of the Ely see palace mentioned above, it is Interesting ter note that the brigadier In" command Is a man of considerable imiortance in the French state, and draws a salary of 3,000 francs per year a large sum In Paris), besides getting 25 francs a day when the president Is on one of his Journeys, He Is also given tbe Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor when he retires from office The special policing of the rulers of Franc has been a subject that the government has for the most part paid a good deal of attention to, During the days of the last empire the guard that protected the person of Napoleon HI was kept on duty In the palace day and night At functions within, and whenever the emperor went without, a hand-fulJmen In plain clothes continually surrounded him.

Tlriers had also his trained body of special policemen, headed by one of the cleverest French "sleuth hounds of the day. During one of his tours an amusing Incident occurred at Havre. One of the Inspectors, while prowling through the cafes heard a man say in a low tone that was full of meaning: Do you know M. Thiers? Very well! He is done for It is a sure thing that he will never return alive to Paris. Upon hearing this the inspector at once detailed one of the most vigilant men of the corps to shadow the fellow whp had thus spoken. This the men himself Boon perceived, and, going up to the detective with an air of bland unconsciousness, he told him that he knew exactly why he (the detective) was following him up In this way, and that he proposed to afford him every He Invited the facility In his task. shadower to walk by his side instead of behind him; to come to the house he was staying at and dine with him; to sleep In his bed; to be constantly within finger touch of him, until President Thiers should have quitted Havre. This proposition the detective accepted, and did not find the slightest thing to arouse his suspicions. It was never found out whether It was a Joke played upon the police force or simply an unthinking mistake based on mere rumor on the part of the suspected citizen.
