thrice miserable woman who mourns at Chiselhurst but apart from this the: pervading feeling is that which comes with the snapping of a gfeat tension and it is expressed in the cry that with this event ends the imperial lineage of the man of 'Austerlitz and of is something strange in this for dynasties do not so easily The long train of personages that stretched from Charles to Cardinal York and Mary of "Modena showed how little likely it is that a family which has once worn royal robes will abandon the hope of resuming them Only in rabsolpte extinc tion not of a line alone but of all its col

worshipped 'will now find fresh illustration The Republic may not like it the house of Bourbon or of Orleans may riot like At but for all that just as surely as there was a Napoleon the qurth there is

to be placed on bis conduct in tbe cases des cribed but Ibero can be no doubt that he is the kind of man te whom Napolbon tbe irst would have written insulting let ters and to whom be would have assigned humiliating offices: He is scarcely a man in other words to stir up the military en thusiasm of the rench people' i Prince Napoleon has becncordially detested by the party of the Empire The
