ANnTHER EREECH F1LLURE

Making living by ones wits depends for
ira responsibility upon the magnitude Of the
operations. When the ex-EmperOr of the
French played for crown, robe, and scepter,
and partly bulied, partly cheated the nation
out of them, he became as reverend instantly
AS Charlemagne. The world is not oyer-par-
ticular-there may have been intrigue, con-
spiracy, massacre, personal outrage, ana all
manner of dlsreputable prellminaries; but
kings king for a that, and, while he keeps MS
winning, the hinges of the worlds knees VIII
continue to crook to him. Indeed, once
crowned, he can never be larry I'M
crovned-at least he is KING IN
history, and even an ex-kng mas
flavor of something royal about him. IL
he has any money left, can keep up snmptu-
Gus establishment, patronize tradesmen aud
nav their bills his viii, for long time, con
tinue TO be n name to conjure with. witness
.Joseph Bonaparte, whilom of New-Jersey ana
always rcspected in that State. Witness also
L,ouis Napoleon, of Chiselhurst, in England
A case illustrative of the hard death Wh'cn
Majesty dies, unless Majesty's head be chopper
off. is reported to us from England. AT the
MiddIesex Sessions on the 9Th INST, Agnes
Arnavon, a French woman, was charged Win
obtaining the sum of CD t0s. and 400 francs OF
Annette Dusoir, by representing that she
WAS on intimate, we may say friendly
We may even say affcctionate terms
with His ex-Sacred Majesty, and that
she could make him do anything she
pleased What Annette Dusoir wanted MN
| TO do is not stated. She soon found out that
| if she wanted him to do anything, she must
seek some better go-between than Mad. Arna-
Won and having discovered the worthlesSnesS
of that wOman's pretensiOns, she naturally
wanted her money back. And just as natu-
rally she did not get it. Whereupon she IN
troduced Mad. Agnes Arnayon to the atteh-
tion of the police, and the police lgno-
miuiously locked mp that enterprising woman
! A search discovered all manner OF forged leu
| ters from Baron CervisaTt, the eX-lmperal sec
retary, and also a photograph with autograph
of tbe late monarch. A little investigation
disclosed the fact that this entcIprlslng wo-
man had been carrying on a swindllng cam
paign with great industry and ingenuity, ras-
! inc money to a considerable amount upon the
strength of her amcable relations with Il. NJ d.
! So the Judge sent her to gloomy dungeon
for twelve calendar months. She had met
with her Sedan.
So much for playing little game for con
temptble stakes If this French widow had
been bit more inspiring-if she had asplrec
to throne-if she had lied, swinded, cheated
and intrigued her way to that throne-ii SHIT
had then broken all her promi5es-if she hac
murdered and onslaved the people she pre-
tended to love-if she had put herself upon
the historic record as a murderer, thlef Z
liar and an imbecile, why, instead of being a.
she now is, locked up for a year at hare
labor she might be living, we will say a
Chiselhurst surrounded by every comfort ant
every luxury, and with Baron for her private
secretary. II his ex-Maiesty had been gov
ernod by proper feelings he would have
attended in court, and would have said: lie
Z" the poor lady go, your worship. | did the
"samc thing myself and failed rs she has.
