THE WHOLE ART OF REVOLUTION.

Among the papers lately distributed by the party of action in the soldiers barracks at Paris are some which enable the young recruit to grasp the whole art of revolution down to the minutest details. There is one, for instance, which tells the revolutionary soldier what lie ought to do immediately there is news of an insurrection, He must set fire to his barrack. To enable him to do this, he must make for where straw and other inflammable matter may be lying. In any case he must set fire to the mattresses. For making a fire he must employ a compound, if it is at hand, of petroleum and alcohol, of petroleum simply, or use a candle, if no better means are available. When the fire has commenced to burn .up, he must turn on all the jets of gas in the.corridors and apartments. In the midst of the confusion he must either force the officers to join the revolt, or slay the recalcitrants, «o that no one shall remain standing. He must then join the people in the street, and help to burn the pnbiicbuildings, begining with the police offices. Besides alcholized petroleum, he should be furnished with a yet deadlier agent, which is petroleum essence saturated with white phosphorus, There .are other directions, including the whole duty of the revolutionary soldier, which perhaps the organs of order are a little rash in publishing.
