One GLASS OF WNE.-The Duke
Of Orleans, the Oldest son of King
Louis Philippe, was the inheritor of
whatever rights the royal family could
transmit. He was a noble young
man-physically and intellectually
noble. One morning he invited a few
companions with him as he was about
to take his departure from Paris to
join his regiment. In the conviviality
OF the hour he drank too much wine.
He did not become intoxicated! he
was not in any respect a dissipated
man. His character was lofty and
noble. But in that joyous hour he
drank a glass too much. He lost
the balance of his body and his mind
Bidding adieu to his companion, he
entered the carriage.
But for that extra glass he woulC
have kept his seat. He leaped from
the carriage. But for that extra glas:
OF wine he would have alighted on his
feet. His head struck the pavement
SenseIess, bleeding, he was taken into
a beer shop and died. That extra
glass of wine overthrow the Orleans
dynasty, confscated their property o.
one hundred millions of dollars, and
sent the whole family into exile
