He has been busy, ever since he came into power IN
having up treasures OF hatred and contempt against an
evil eay and ne must time, and that not iar

As for the for this war furry, You must
ask statesmen dare say they will tel you that apart
from the real deep settled hatred Of Prussia, mingled
with wholesome fear her their hatred greater for that
fear which rgukle i'm the minds of the vast majority oi
the French people, ANA makes them 20 seize on any
prctcxt FOR war, however nmsy unrighteous apart
the cries OF the opposition backed ny the cry nom
the provinces, " II you VIII keep this oversro"n,
ruinous standing army, in Gods, or the DeViPs
name WHY don't You use itl" and that this cry
go up Of late increasingly there is no doubt apart
from these considerations there Is political intrigue at
the bottom Of the business in which the Empress plays
no little part For It's she than the Emperor who
pushe, the war, and makes him. all equity rheumatic
and every way physically shaken he i, consent 10
begin war that no one can end Of This intrigue
is TO get the Prince the Asturas ISabella on the
throne of SPAIN Looked in this light the late farce of
abdication at the Hotel Basilewsk not so much
farce as the epiogue TO- what was meant for tragedy
but may turn out to be high comedy.
II is hardly possible that an attempt TO restore the

as indeed, he has than once declared before II
would certainly appear that neither Prussia nor spain
contemplated the possibility of such an outbreak Of feel
/ ing as We witnessing to-day in France. We do not
! know that the King Of Prussia Bismarck had any
| hand in the affair at all Those to whom Bismarck
is a bugaboo and those who think him supernaturally
clever are convinced It's cake OF his compromising ana
hate or admire him all the more for his skill IN H. ont
there nothing like proof forthcoming to show that nc

the success Of Prince Leopold. However, know, as
Won may believe nothing about il, and will stick to
any last recording event they take place without "l
tempting the dangerous task Of accounting for them
Tie women nay he pleased TO know how great a part
their sex has played in stirring up this trouble say
nothing OF the Empress, who when not at her prayers
| and charitable deeds scoldng her poor maids OF
honor or going on like 2 wildcat at her unfortunate
dresslnaBer Is always trying put heT finger into the
political pie; say nothing either, of Madame olNler
who IS sort of what ThacheT1y SAID the
| Raphaels ala Belle Jarliniere" j. and who
drives about in these days with her husband
| in his cab TO visit the unhappy Prussian and
Spanish Ministers; women seem ia have had pretty much
the management of the whole affair The name OF the
Princess of Flanders sister Of the Prince OF Hohenzo
lern was the first that mixed up in the matter
twas said had urged her brother to accept the span
ish throne he had declined It, and the Frehch
were almost ready for fight with Belgium in couSe
ouence. Now, it would that the whole
! thing could have been kept secret if women
could only have kept from writing letters. For, rumor
has it, that the Prince, having accepted sent copy OF
his letter his aunt princess OF Baden the aunt tee-
graphed the news the Princess Margaret wife OF Don
Carlos and thence the news was sent 10 the Ieglust
nerspapcrs in Paris As to the letter that the Prince
wrote to Prim accepting the throne 1t came not TO f
! but TO the minister who for the time being filled
Prms place. who not being able to keep the secret and
having no rushes to whisper it TO- whispered II TO the
newspapers which answered WELL and let the secret
out before its time.
Twill fill up my letter with fancy story of Madame
Olivier which dare say is true. The Minister Is very
uxorious and very ayaricious he dOas upon his new
Young wife but his delight in her is not strong enough
TO make him forget his pocket, and he will not allow her
/ TO dress as handsomely pretty woman would
doubtless ike. But he is hypocrite ne DISCUSSES TINS
stingness with the plea that he wishes To strike
blow at the frightful luxury of the time, &c &c In
this by the way he shows his concc for I is not his
wife who sets the fashion, but the Empress and she does
not like simplicity and will have none Of it. However,
