Marshal MacMahon, ex-president of the French republic, is reported to be in exceed' ingly straitened circumstances, and to have fallen on that account into a morose and despairing mood. It is a bitter reaction from the pomp and pride of a few years ago, when the gallant soldier felt called upon to emulate the splendors of the empire and bankrupted himself in the foolish effort No Republican campaign badge has yet been adopted to our knowledge.
