The London Besos concludes an article en- the
coming trial in Paris between the heirs Of Prince
JEROME with these remarks:
There is something truly noble and touching in
the constancy and courage of the remarkable
man who forms the not least conspicuous portion Of
the singular family picture thus exhibited to the
world Young gifted and beautiful, she found her
self deserted bv worthless husband. and her place
openly given to another from motives Of the merest
ambition. No lure could induce her to accept rank
or riches at bis hands or these of his allpowerfu
brother. No temptation could begnile her into
parting with her son, who to do him justice, seems
to have inherited the true dignity and spirit OF ms
mother.
In vindicaton Of her own insuIted honor and that
OF her family the Legislature Of Maryland passed
an act OF divorce, by which she set free, while
IN the bloom Of womanhood, to make another choice
Tor life. She did not do So but was eOntented %
llYe sngle unti her son was grown TO mans estate
/ and her grandson had entered the army cf France,
to win distinction in Its heroic ranks and she out
\ lived the man who wFonged her and tire princess
who suPplanted her. She has lived to see the off
i spring OF her girlish love recognized after fifty
years, the lawfully born kinsman OF the Emperor
| of the French; and she only waits to hear the
| Judgment of a French court Of law acknowledging
/ as her due that simple recognition which she has
never ceased TO claim. A characteristic trait nav
be mentioned Of this singular woman that indicates
! at once the moral and intellectual nature combined
/ in her. When offered the estate and title above
! mentioned in lS0S, her answer was, "Westphalia
may in his opinion, be great kingdom, but in
| mlne il is not large enough for two queens" It
| were an intOIerabe wrong if such a woman SHOULD
pass away before the battle of her life is won.

Yesterday morning terrible encounter tool nIooe
at Astleys Amphitheater. An undergroom named
Smith was literally throttled to death by one Of the
lions which played so promlnelt part in the holi
day entertainments, at that tavorite place of
amusement. The lions. three in number are con-
fined in a cage at the back of the stage. When the
nipht-watchman left the theatre yesterday morning
rev minutes before Z, he reported salI right
Shortly afterward Smith, the deceased entered the
place and found the lions prowling about They
had torn off a heavy iron bar which crossed the
fcout of their cage, and then burst open the door
Smith was alone, and not being familiar with the
animals he attempted to escape into an adjoining
stable-yard. His situation was frightful one, and
most men would have acted precisely as he did I'M
der similar circumstances; but the probability Is
that IL he had stood his ground boldly his life would
have been saved Unfortunately, one OF theihens-
that which is known by the name of Hayelock-
caught sight OF his Petreating figure and instantly
sprang upon hIm 1t seized hum by the haunches,
pulled him to the ground, and then liked Us teeth IN
his throat Death must have been almost Instanta-
neOus but, as Smith was found good deal cut and
bruised at the back of the head 1t is supposed that
the lion, after burying its fangs in his throat,
dragged him about and dashed his head against
the ground. 1t seems in fact to have worried
him, though the wourds inflicted by the
brute are neither numerous nor severe as
might have been expected There was no cries for
help but sort Of shutting noise was heard by
man in the stable yard. He suspected what had oc-
which Smith had endeayored to escape but he gave
the alarm, and in a few minutes was Joined by seV
eral grooms and others connected with the theater
They were all however to much afraid to enter
the place, and nothing was done too ascertain the
fate of Smith until the arrival Of Crockett the Lion
Conqueror, to whom the animal belonged. As soon
as he reached the spot he passed through the door
alone, none Of the others daring to follow.
The body of Smith was lying face upward few
feet from the door, and Havelock was crOuehing
over it as hungry dog hangs over apeace of meat.
Crockett Immediately threw the animal of and drag
Yed the body into the yard. 1t was still warm, but
/ life had been extinct for some time.
a sergeon was sent for. but of course he could
render no assistance Crockett lost time in secur-
| ing the lions They allowed him to capture them
easily enough Even Haveloek did not offer any re-
| sistance, Snd the other two. which had taken no
part in the terrible with Smith seemed rather
afraid tEan otherwise In q few minutes all three
were back in their cage again, and last night they
went through their usual performances before a
| crowded audience.
