Of which were fatal on Thursday, 10 cases, 10
Of which were fatal. In Edinburgh and neigh
borbood the disease still fingers. Since Oct. 4.
there have been 200 cases, Of which 1863 were
fatal. Notwithstanding the prevalence of chol-
era in London, the number of deaths for the
last few weeks has fallen below the usual aver
age. Every prccaution is taken by the Board
Of Health to prevent the disease from spreading"
IRELAND is quiet, and no further mention Of
rot in the potatoes.
Indian corn has now become so popular in
Ireland as food, that the potato deficiency will
not be felt rs iE 1916.
The English Government has inclined its ear
TO mercy. The horrible sentence passed upon
Smith O'Brien, one that will forever disgrace
the tribunal that uttered it and the age in which
il was utiered-has been commuied 10 transport
ta,ion to some penal settlement Meagher, Me-
Manus, and O'Donohue will share the same fate.

FRAScE.-The principal news Of interest is
the in,rigues and speculations relative to the
election of President Of the Republic, which
takes place the 10th of December. The chief
candidates are Lsmartine, Cavaignac, Ledru
Rolin, and Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte,
of whom the latter is the most prominent. The
Paris correspondent Of the n. Y. Courier and
Enquirer gives the following sketch of his his,o.
ry:
Charles Loui. Napoleon is the son Of Louis
Bonaparte, ex-king OF Holland, and Horiense
Beanhamais, daughter of Josephine by her FIRST
husband. lie was born in the Spring OF 1905,
ard is consequently now in his 4lst wear. Upon
the restoration in 1918 he fed with his mother
first to Augsburg, then TO Switzerland. His
mother had purchased the chateau of Arencn-
berg, in the Canton Of Thorgau, and il was
there he received his early education. In 1880
his family hoped that they would at last be per-
mitted TO return to France. They were disap-
pointed, and he and his brother proceeded TO
Italy and took part in the important revolution
AIRY movements Of that year. In several en-
gagements they sustained the honor Of their
name. The brother died at Forl, from disease
contracted in the service, and Louis Napoleon
himself fell dangerously i'll. His mother repair
ed TO his bedside at Ancona, and Us soon as he
was able TO travel they left Italy, and in March,
1881, arrived incognio in Paris. Hortense re-
ques;ed permission to remain till her sons health
should be restored. II was refused, and they
returned to Arenenberg, where he devoted him
self to the preparation for the press of his
Literary and Politicd Consider atoms upon Sirit-
zeridnd'
This work procured for him the honor Of cit
izcnship from the Hevetc Republic. In 1884
he received the commission Of Captain in the
Swiss service. In 1885 he published a Manu-
al of Artillery for Switzerland During his
military residence in Berne he had intimate re-
laiions with several French officers, particularly
with Col. VAndrey. 1t was with this gentleu an
that he concerted his first revolutionary move
ment as pretende- to the French crown Ridi-
cule and prison instead Of glory and throne
were the result of the day at Strasbourg (0cto-
Der 80, 1850. He was arrested, conducted to
I Paris, whence in few days he was conveyed to
the coast and placed on board French frigate
which bore him to the United States His stay
! with US was very short. His mothers illness re-
called him to Arenenberg She breathed her
last in few weeks after his return.
Louis Philippes government was disquieted
by ihe so near residence of the Prince, and re-
quired from the Swiss authorities that it should
no longer be permitted. The Prince then re-
paired to England In 1889 he published his
'IdesS NdpOleonnisnes.' During his residence
in London he founded La Cdpitole, journal de-
voted to the support Of his pretensions to the
Imperial Crown. He exercised in England 4
large hospitality, and formed about him as it
were a little court, composed of the old officers
OF the Empire. Since the death Of Joseph b.
naparte, Louis Napoleon is the legal heir to
whatever imperial rights Napoleon has transmit
ted. There too he planned, and with the aid Of
some three score deluded fellows he executed his
famous descent upon the French coast near b.
logne, August 5, 1910.
This expedition terminated more disastrously
than that Of Strasbourg. The would-be Empe-
ror, in the melee which ensued, severely wound
ed by pistol shot from his own hand grena-
der who resisted the attempt. The Prince
himself was once more taken prisoner. Some
OF his fellows attempted to escape butwer fired
on. Some were killed, and the survivors, with
the Edinburgh Castle steamer, which had
brought the expedition over the channel were
all seized The Pretender was not let of so
easily this time. He was brought to Paris, tried
before the Court OF Peers, and sentenced to per-
petual imprisonment History is silent, | be-
lieve, as TO the fate of the famous lire eagle
symbol Of Empire, which accompanied the
Prince. We only know that it did not fly from
steeple TO stecple,' and perch upon the towers
Of Notre Dame The Prince was sent to the
castle Of Ham, where he was suffering the sem
tence of imprisonment pronounced upon him,
till tho 25th Of May, 1916, when taking advan-
tage of the occasion offered by the execution of
some repairs in the prison he escaped in the
disguise of a workman. He Immediately re-
paired to England, where he resided in unob-
trusye gentleman-like style till the breaking out
Of the Revolution in February. He wrote from
London several letters which were published in
the papers soon after his escape. They showed
that the hero of Boulogne, II six years older,
was not much wiser, than previous to his impris-
onment and all persons seemed satisfied that
nothing but an extraordinary conjuncture OF
circumstances would ever make him dangerous
rs pretender- that the only capital at his dis
posal was the name and fame of his uncle"
A ROYAL NosE.-At a table where the En-
peror of Austria, then the only heir TO the
throne, was guest, question arose as to which
