SCAN. MAG.-The present complications in
the European Courts, viewed relatively to the
immortality of some imperial and royal person-
ages, are curious enough.
Louis Napoleon, Emperor of the French, is
said TO have bad only putative father in Louis
Bonaparte, King Of Holland, for short time,
while his real father is reported to be a Dutch
admiral. His principal Minister, in whom he
places most implicit reliaLcN, is Count de Nor
ney, whose father was that same Dutchmsu.
while his mother was no less than Hortense
BeauharRAis, eI-Queen of Holland Thus at
any rate, Napoleon III. and Count de Morney
have had the same mother. The Count, it may
be recOllected, acknowledged himself father Of
one of Rachel's children. ....
Another pillar of the NapOleonic dynasty is
Count Walewski son Of the first Napoleon, by
a Polish lady Of high rank and much beauty
one of the few persons who remained true
to him when he abdieated at Fountainebleau in
1914.
Thsre has long existed belief in Germany,
that the present Emperor, Francis Joseph, in
stead Of being son Of the Archduke Francis
Charles, by the Princess Sophia, of Bavaria, his
wife claims a different paternity. Butler says:
The child whom many fathers share,
Shall never know fathers care
Francis Joseph, however, has been well cared
for, and was elevated to the Imperial throne of
Germany, while yet In his teens on the abdi-
citlOn Oi tue tnPcHoi reIuinhuu, MS uucio
yiennese gossip has forked out into two chan
nels respecting his birth. OGe account declares
him to be son of Count Itterburg, ex-Crown
Prince Of Sweden.
This gentleman's real name was Gustayus
Essa, and his father was Gustavus ~, who
was deposed in 1872, and died in Switzerland
in 1887. This young Prince travelled through
Scotland and Ireland in 1920, and eventually
entered the Austrian service, where he obtained
command of n regiment at Vienna and n
Chamberlainship at the Imperial Court. The
other putative father Of "His Imperial Majes-
ty, Francis Joseph, Emperor Of Austria" and
90 forth, Is said to be mono other than Napoleon
Ii, better known as the Duke de Reichstadt,
ex-King Of Rome, who died in July, 1882, aged
81. Frsncis-Jossph, it may be rccollected, was
born in August, 1880. -... s.. is..

down to the steeYage deck, without appear
ing to pay any attention to the culprit, who
was standing in defiant attitude on the
lower step. Taking up, his position at the
side of the unsuspecting Ilibcrnian, he
quickly stopped down, seized the fellow by
the ancle, and forced one foot from the
foor. So sudden and unexpected was the
act, that the fireman was thrown completely
of his guard; and as he made an effort to
place his foot again on the floor, Hayes,
taking advantage Of the upward impetus
which this attempt gave to the fellows
body, fairly lifted him from his tracks, an
sent him sprawliny halfway up the steps
vigorous persuadcr elevated him clean from
the hatch, and the pick pocket was in the
hands of the kentuckians. TO strip him to
the waist, and lash him to n stancheon, was
but the work Of u few moments; and as
large crowd had gathered, it was not nee
essary to 'call all hands to witness the pun
ishment."
About fifty lashes we'll laid on, were nd
ministered, and as many more would have
been given, had not the clerk interposed
and saved the miscreant from almost Ger
tain death. AS it was, the Kentuckians
were not done with the fellow. Cutting
him loose, they replaced his clothing, and
then commenced binding him to a stancheon,
which stood in the most conspicuous part
of the boat. facing the main cabin compan-
ion-way. With balls Of marlin they wound
him snug!y from head to foot, allowing
him only space for respiration, and left him
as complete a counterpart Of living num-
my as was ever seen. lie remained in this
position for several hours, until tho clerk
who happened to be passing, noticed that
his lips. and such portions of his fnce as
were visible, were black and bloodshot.-
lie INN cdately cut the fastenings, and re-
leased the wrecth from his bonds but he
sank inscnsihlc, to the floor, and for some
minutes it was thought he was dead. Slow
ly, however, he began to recover his breath,
and at last regained sufficient strength to
stagger below. Here he remained until the
arrival of the vessel at Cleveland. 1t is
needless to add, that he was about the first
man ashore, and that he left the Empire
State with the firm resolve never to set foot
again upon her decks.
