veritable successor in the leadership of he Republican party Born among the Vosges mountains in jS3 3I Ferry now in the prime of life freIDS to have imbibed the strength of the oaks beeches and firs that cover their lecp sides He is tall aud large with broad shoulders and the deep chest which Tyndall holds is necessary for success suc-cess in the struggle for life Almost any pleasant afternoon he may be seen walking walk-ing along the south bank of the Seine in front of the Esplanade of the Iiivalides enjoying a constitutional before going into in-to tlie study hall of the Chamber of Deputies De-puties Jules Ferry carefully husbands his physical forces and never lets an oc cathon pass to increase his stock of bodily j rigor He is sometimes one of President Orevys party for a days shooting in the forest of 3Iarly near Paris and flies to his country home for air and rest whenever when-ever he can slip away from the capital With Dryden M Jules Ferry believes that it is far I Beterto hunt the fields for health unbought I Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught I If you happen to be in one of the galleries gal-leries of the chamber when M Ferry enters you will notice that he has not the fame easy erect carriage as a few moments mo-ments befole when you saw him on the quay You might exclaim with Shake j tpeare I do not know him by his gait The hands arc clasped behind him the I chin drops on the breast and the eyes are riveted on the floor turning neither to I te one side nor to the other When he Caches his seat in the middle of the f front row he seems to be himself again The explanation of this strange bearing is 1 very simple Whether M Ferry enters the Chamber by the door to the Tight or j to the left he must pass in frpnt of the j ferried ranks of his political enemies and I in some instances work his way among I them if they are standing in the open space before the Presidents or Speakers I fek If he comes in at the right he is in midst of the Royalists and Bonapart sj if he comes in at the left he is in the alst t of the radical Republicans Both categories of Deputies detest M Jules Ferry the former because he is an insur ontable obstacle in the way of the re ROTation of the monarchy the latter bet 1 be-t u he is determined to preserve the I tfpablic by keeping it conservative So he PM3 to his seat without noticing his yaents and thus avoids embarrassing taslf and them too fctvhenM Jules Ferry goes up info fotfhne to speak he is not the same man You might think him on the PFonce more His head is now thrown wet the pectoral muscles become

from the aroused and energetic brain He stands lor > a moment in this position calmly sur Jfflg his audience and waiting for ab wiute silence Then he assumes a new and more insinuating pose A moment ago he was the bold journalist now he is the vnly lawyer He plants his big hands palms down on th6 broad marble Ebb of the tribune while his muscular mns support the body bent and inclin log fOlward His head droops again as Fhen he first into came the chamber From rom the ne galleries face you cannot see the only the crown of tho herrd which tblsnttitude WI1 SOOn be bald Ho begins to speak in
