Excerpt from The Communists of Paris, 1871: Types, Physiognomies, Characters The staff quarters of the Comite' Central which Body, having secretly fomented the Insurrection, eventually assumed its direction is one which in itself requires little comment. Here again may be noted the dressy get up of the Civilian Soldier raised so suddenly to his brief span of Power. But to our Memory, the Orderly in attendance is an equally faithful Type, as HE whom the Colourist's brush has decked out in his gay, but not incorrect attire. The long hair, unt'rimmed beard, and be-spectacled features Of him in the background, are no less characteristic in their Way, than the trimly brushed locks and ferocious mustachios Of the Officer in front.

With them the dishevelled beard and long waving hair were Signs of their titular craft though Science or Literature may have owed them no' debt, save in the lowest stratum of Journalism. Some who were old enough had been Actors in the events of 1848; among whom indeed were not a few who lived upon the republican prestige of those days. And the younger ones were apt disciples of the traditions their Elders taught. Not impossibly is the turn Colenel in the foreground but a child or even a tool, in the hands of him with the portfolio of papers.
