THE FRENCH REVOLUTION 
26th . — The tumour has separated, and the opening has become 
pletely filled with granulation. The surface of the wound is about 
an inch and a half in diameter, and quite firm. I cannot feel the 
least opening into the abdomen, though this cannot be properly 
ascertained, on account of the swelling around the parts. In a few 
days after the wound had cicatrized, and the opening was per-

Sic Venit gloria mundi. 
At the end of March we find M. LE Redacteur, in the same 
patriotic ardour, recounting with feelings of pride and satisfaction 
the part which the students at the Alfort Veterinary College played 
during the “ glorious” revolution. 
“ The grand events of the month of February,” says M. Bouley,
