Original Text:
BIXIO.
Plus désintéressé encore que les grands hommes de Plutarque, Bixio n'a consenti à passer qu'une semaine dans le palais du Ministère du commerce, - le huitième jour, ce nouveau Cincinnatus est retourné arroser ses laitues Romaines.

Translation:
BIXIO.
Being even more altruistic than all the great men of Plutarc, Bixio did not want to reside more than a week in the Office of the Ministry of Trade. - On the eighth day, this new Cincinnatus retired to his farm in order to water his Roman heads of lettuce.
