A Stoet has appeared in the French papers about the late Marquis de Boissy, which appears to be too good to be true. The eccentric marquis, as is well known, in spite of his furious onslaughts on la perfide Albion in the Corps Legislate was a complete Anglomane in private life. He dressed in the English fashion, entertained English "guests, and kept up his household with English servants. During his last illness a lady called upon him, and as she sat by his side she remarked, with some alarm, that her companion played carelessly with a revolver. " I beg your pardon, madame," said M. de Boissy, "but all my servants are English j and I am obliged to be on my guard, as the rascals are capable of anything."
