A POPULAR PRESIDENT.
M. Loubet (says a Paris correspondent) has the most sympathetic face I ever saw in a public man. He literally breathes of good humour and good nature, and his face does not belie him. But he is a man of .re■solution and nerve. When, in those terrible, times of fire years aigo, th« Pomte Christiani rushed at him' in the Presidential tribune at Auteuil "faces, and smashed' m his hat, the myriads of his enemies were certain of hfs. resignation.- He sternly replied, "1 did not come here for any pleasure, and I will not go away for the pleasure of anyone." Thas was the turningpoint, and hi"? popularity to-day ranks with that of Carnot.
