THE DEATH BANQUET OF THE GIRONDINS. A FRAGMENT. "The Girondins spent the last night of their captivity in the great dungeon that Hall of Death. The tribunal had ordered that the still warm corpse of Valaz should be taken back to the prison, carried on the same cart with his accomplices to the place of execution, and buried with them. * * The gendarmes placed the body in a corner of the prison. The Girondins, one after the other, kissed the heroic hand of their friend. They covered his face with... his mantle. ' To morrow ! ' said they to the corpse ; and they gathered their strength for the coining day. It was near midnight. The deputy Bailleu), proscribed like them, but concealed in Paris, had promised to send them from without, on the day of their judgment, a last repast of triumph or of death, according as they might be acquitted or condemned. By the help ot a friend, he kept his word. The funeral supper was spread in the great dungeon. Costly viands, rare wines, flowers, and lights covered the oak table of the prison.
