Site for Charlemagne.

Charlemagne, though Interred at Aix-la-Chapelle and regarded as an ancestor by the German emperor, Is nevertheless claimed ns a Frenchman by the majority of modern Gauls. Their Interest in the great emperor, however, does not extend to the point of providing a definite site for his monument, which for twenty years has occupied a temporary wooden pedestal on the bank of the Seine, within the precincts of Notre Dame. A movement Is now on foot to have an appropriate pedestal set up for the statue, which is covered with waterproof canvas.—New Orleans Picayune.
