Under each capital letter were written names followed by very characteristic remarks. Thus, "Q. Bannerel, 8 guns, 83 cartridges. A safe man.--C. Boubière, 1 pistol, 40 cartridges.--D. Rollet, 1 foil, 1 pistol, 1 lb. gunpowder.--E. Tessin, 1 sabre, 1 cartouche-box. Punctual.--Terreur, 8 guns. Brave," etc. Lastly, this carpenter found in the same enclosure a third paper, on which was written in pencil, but very legibly, this enigmatical list. Unité. Blanchard: Arbre sec. 6. Barra. Sixteen. Sall au Comte. Kosciusko. Aubry the butcher? J. J. R. Caius Graccus. Right of revision. Dufond. Four. Downfall of the Girondists. Derbac. Maubuée. Washington. Pinson. 1 pist. 86 cart. Marseillaise. Sovereignty of the people. Michel. Quincampoix. Sabre. Hoche. Marceau. Plato. Arbre Sec. Warsaw, Tilly, crier of the _Populaire_. The honest citizen in whose hands this list remained learned its purport. It seems that the list was the complete nomenclature of the sections of the fourth arrondissement of the Society of the Rights of Man, with the names and addresses of the chiefs of sections. At the present day, when these obscure facts have become historic, they may be published. We may add that the foundation of the Society of the Rights of Man seems to have been posterior to the date on which this paper was found, and so it was possibly only a sketch. After propositions and words and written information, material facts began to pierce through. In the Rue Popincourt, at the shop of a broker, seven pieces of paper, all folded alike, were found in a drawer; these papers contained twenty-six squares of the same gray paper, folded in the shape of cartridges, and a card on which was written:-- Saltpetre . . . . . . 12 oz. Sulphur . . . . . . 2 " Charcoal . . . . . . 2 1/2 " Water . . . . . . . . 2 " The report of the seizure showed that there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the drawer.
