A curious bit of history, showing what
narrow escape the ex Empress Eugenie had
from becoming the wife Of an American gem
tleman, has Just came to light The fact ia
thus reoited by relative Of one Of the parties:
"In 1851 the uncle Of the writer resided as
American minister at Paris, with large fami-
ly around him. At this time there appeared
in society there Eugene Maria de Guzman,
Countess de Montiio, lovely person and aris-
tocratic name securing her brilliant conquests
in that society, and constituting her one Of the
famous ladies in Paris. II was thought, and
indeed freely remarked, that her mother was
more ambitious than herself; that the mother
designed her for some great alliance, while Eu'
genie herself appeared model Of simple sin

heart in any matrimonial affair. Her sistei

wick, alineal defendant of James IL, Of Eng

for the more beautiful Of her daughters Blu
