A SPECTACLE TRULY FRENCH

n SGEClACLE TRULY FRENCH.
The reception by the Empress Regent of the great
councils of the State at the Tueries was not only
splendid but distinguished by display of emotion
very characteristic Of the French. 1t recalls the
magnificent rhetoric of Burke. Eugene is "the
delightful vision now, as Marie Antonette was
then, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere
she NOV in, glittering like the morning star full
OF life and spendor and ioy A Paris letter gives
vivid account Of the greetings:
"Ihe Senate awaited the Empress in the Sale du
TrOne, the Corps Legislatf in the Salon d'Appol-
lon, and the Council of State in the Salon Blanc
The Empress passed through each of these drawing
rooms leading the Imperial Prince by the hand,
and accompanied by Prince jerome, the ministers,
the chamberlains, and the ladies of honor. NJ.
Granier de Cassagnac, describing the ceremony in
the Pays, says that the young Prince, dressed in
white, with his pretty fair hair curling naturally,
smiled and waved his little hand NJ. TropIing in
the name of the Senate, Count de Mornv for the
Corps Legislatif and NJ Baroche for the Council of
State, pronounced addresses, to which her Majesty
returned answers After the speech to the Corps
Legislatif, NJ. de CaSsagnac, who was present saws
Prince jerome, taking up the young Prince in his
venerable arm, presented him to the assembly, and
all the deputies rushed toward the child, disputing
with each other the honor of touching his little
hands, which they covered with kisses The En-
press was moved to tears, and, saws the same re-
corder, everybody present cried and diffused the
general emotion by conuulsiUe shnkjng of hands,"
The Count de Morny doubtless indicated in his
speech not only the popularity OF the Emperor and
the Empress, but that feeling of chivalrous LOYALTY
present which would
cause ten thousand swords to leap from their
scabbards to avenge look that threatened
her with insult" The age of chvairy is not yet
gone. The Count said
"MADAME: The Corps Legisatf before separating,
is happy to have the honor of being admitted to
your presence, and to see the Imperial Prince
We are about to return to our departments We
go there to encourage the feeling of patriotism
which present circumstances call for. But we
shall have little occasion to our influences over
population in whose hearts the love of glory and
honor ever vibrates. The absence of the Emperor
may have caused some uneasiness in the minds of
those who do not know France But the generous
nation understands the incest decacv of feelinr
and when the Emperor leaves France to share the
perilS OF our soldiers and defend the honor of our
flag, it displays, if it be possible to do So additional
respect for your authority and affection and de-
votedness for your person. 1Ou may, therefore
Madame, reckon upon universal support, and upon
all those sentiments which are your due regent
and as mother."-Constitution
From the Memphis Tenn AppealI
About thirty years ago, Mr.. Joseph st. Clair
built a cabin in Arkansas, far up toward the head
waters of White River. 1t was then all wilder
ness country for many miles around and game was
very abundant. There was no lack of bear cata-
mounts, wolves and panthers. In fact, that coun-
try was, at that date, perfect Paradise for the
practiced hunter.
Mr.. st. Clair had no family other than young
wife and one infant. He was fond Of hunting, but
he cultivated few acres in corn and vegetables
At first it was fully ten miles to his neigh
bOrs, but during the ensuing spring a man named
Williams made settlement. within a half mile of
st. Clar's, and the two families became neiphbors
and quite intimate.
Mr.. Williams a man in humble circumstances
and had large family, mostly of grown daughters,
and small children. One day in the month of
July 1929, (the first summer that Mr.. st. Clair
lived there his wife was at home with the child,
and Mr. st. Clair was off with his gun. About 10
o'clock in the morning she left her baby asleep in
the cradle and went to the field to gather beans for
dinner. On her return the child was gone. She,
however, felt no alarm, because she supposed that
her husband had come home during her absence
and had hidden somewhere about the house with
the child merely for little fun so she busted her
self in preparing dinner In hour or two her
husband returned from the woods bearing his gun
and young deer that he had killed, and on in
quiry declared that he knew nothing of the child.
They now supposed that one of Mr.. Williams
daughters had come in while Mrs. st. Clair was out,
and finding the baby, of which she was very fond,
she carried it home The theory was to them quite
satisfactory, for there were other neighbors and
the child could not go away, unless carried. How
else could it have happened?
Dinner being over, Mr. st. Clair walked over to
the neighbours, to bring back his treasure of baby
that Miss Lucy had borrowed that morning. Miss
Lucy said that she had not borrowed the baby-she
had not seen it that day. Mr.. ST. Clair was hard
to be convinced that of the family had taken
the child, but ali assured him that they knew moth
ing of it,
1t was now time to be alarmed. "What has be-
come of the poor chid?'' was his exclamation, and
he ran back home in great agony The mother, in
like manner, was almost frantic! They could not
conceive who had taken away their child.
Mr.. Williams family joined in the grief, but
could afford no aid, no consolation. Thev could
invent no theory, nor devise any plan by which the
child had, with any degree of probability disap-
peared. Who was to take it away? Why would
any one wish to have it? They were utterly at a
loss.
Finally, it remembered that occasionally
there were parties of Cherokees hunting through
that country. 1t was surmised that they had
happened to come to the house while Mr.. st. c.
was in the field and had stolen the child and carried
1t away. This was at once received as plausible
and quite probable. - -
Early next morning Mr. st. Clair and Mr.: Will
liams set out to seek for the Indian camp and Mrs
ST. c. was left alone at home. She was sitting in
silence, weeping tears of bitter anguish, such as
none but mothers ever shed, and wondering In her
heart what had become of her darling babe. 1t was
now about the hour of the day on which she, the
dav previous, had gone out Ere she was aware, a
large panther, with stealtby tread came to the
door and looked in toward the cradle. Mrs St
Clair screamed and he ran away. The fearful truth
was now apparent, and no new light has ever
been cast upon the subject.
DIscovERING OF THE TOMB OF PHARAoH AMos1s
letter from Cairo, in the Constitutional saws
that the general subject of conversation in that
city is the discovery which has just been made NV
the well known archaologist, NJ. Mariette Hehas
found at Thebes, after long and difficult research
es, the tomb, still intact of Pharaoh Amosis Tho
KING is lying In CONN, completely covered with
gold leaf, ornamented with large wings painted on
it. Thirty jewels of great value were found in the
same coffin by the side of the king, was also a
hatchet of gold ornamented with figures in apis
lazuli.
Some years ago NJ Mariette had a similar piece
of good fortune, in finding in the tomb of Apis the
jewels which now form the principal ornament of
the Egyptian Museum of the Louvre. The jewels
of Amosis still more valuable, from their num-
Der and quality. This discovery of royal tomb
intact is the most importapt one that NJ. Marlette
has yet made in Egypt.-Boston 7rare2er, Jtme IL.
