MARGARET OF BURGUNDY.-There seems to be
great deal of unnecessary speculation afoat
among the press, as well as in private circles,
as to who was the Margaret of Burgundy to
whom the Duke of Alba saw fit to compare Mrs
Soule, rs she appeared at a diplomatic party in
Madrid. Beyond all question, we think, it was
to that Margaret who was the wife of Louis x,
King of France, who was put to death for alleged
adultery. She is immortalized in a drama,
written by Alexander Dumas, called the sc Tour
de Nesles,'' the details Of which are SO utterly
Infamous as to have called for the interposition
of the police to restrain their representation on
the stage. - z7 tss5 .5
1t was probably the fancied or accidental re-
semblance of the costume worn by Mrs. Soule,
on the evening alluded to, to that of the heroine
of the drama, as exhibited on the stage, that
formed the basis of the Duke of Alba's insolent
sheer. The Boston Post favors the opinion that,
considering the time, placs, and all the attending
circumstances, this was part Of a premeditated
and contrived conspiracy, the object of which
was to drive Mr.. Soule, by insult and ridicule,
from court where his growing popularity
rendered him formidable . the intriguing Ma
poleon iii. Such conspiracies, the editor Of the
Post goes on to remark, are not rare in French
history; the Infamous conspiracy Of Nine Mont
bacon and the Duke of Guise against the sister
Of the Great Condo, and which led to the fatal
duel Of the Duke of Guise and Collgny, seems
like this as to justify the belief that it served
Is model. t s7
The editor of the New York Express has been
searching for information in regard to the actual
costume worn by this same Margaret of Bur-

thought of his wife and children at home,
with the cold weather close at hand, and

little ones stood shivering by the faint en-
bers. "God forgive him and pity them"
said she. with tone of voice tremulous with
emotion. "But he was bailed out" said
