THE COUNT De CRaG1B0RD.

Count dc Chnmbord is tho only man whom tho
"uistoriau Of tho Future can record as tho re-
Jcctor Of throno aud crown for what hc (dc o.
regards ns principle; nnd, while a!1 aro ridlcul~
ing and Jooring tho obstinacy aud fooliahnoss Of
tho Prince. much can DO found to admire When
NO couatder tho appatent brilliancy Of the offer
which he rejects. Thoro aro two or throo points
In tho negotiations which arc points Of differ
onco, aud to theso a briot epace will DO glren. .
It is said that his persistent adherence to the
vhito lag OF his house is childish, aud proves
tho man to bo in his dotago; that tho ldoa Of re-
fussng throne for such trilie ia the voric3t
nonsense. But let us look first aud geo what tho
white flag, In contrast to tho tri-co1or, aigni0os
to him; FortY.four years ago, yers interesting
tabloau Was onactod on tho ba1cony Of tho PALMS
Royal, by Louis Philippe and Lafayette. These
two conference.-the one q willy politician, nlld
tho other as puro Republican as Franco Inns
eyor producod-loaned lovingly towards oacll
other, and tho tri-color's ample folds embraced
them both; and then all the pooplo rhoutol
"Long 1.-Two onr Citizon-King!" While
this scene carried joy to many hearts,
ts effect WINS for different upon tho young
Count do Ohnmbord ard bis mother, Who from
safe Distance, saw TINT flag and heard those
ahouts. At tho sight, tho Princess coyorod ho1
| fuce aud wept bitterly while tho yonng Prince
| wondoringly aakol hor tho reaRon and tho mean-
| Ing. "It meanH, my child, that your uncle OF
aud has robbed you Of your biEtllrght, and re aro
! exiles, perhaps forever" With this IDEA and
actual fact ever before him, from tho carly ago
Of 10 years to manhood, mud from manhood to
middle life, Is it surprising that no bates tho
Orleans family md tho tri-oolor aud that the
| glory which the French Of to-day attach to that
ilsg only means fur him revolutions, uBurpations,
| aud wanderingH7 .
again; bis continued reluctance to hold cor
| dial relations with tho heir OF Louis Philippe,
tie Count Of Paris, is severely cousprod. Tho
Count do Chnmbord knows tho history Of his
family in all its branches, aud ia probably too
thoroughly human perfectly to overlook the In
tures ind tho inBults which, IN tho time Of tho
Orleans ruio, wero heaped upon him and upon
his mother, the Duchess do Dorri. AS q
loving and dutifal son,-whlch Aa always
was, be Was deeply mortified at tho dlHgraco
Louis Philippe attempted to attach to that prin-
fort to regain the heritngo Of her eon. and to
raise Legtitnint revolt sho was taken prisoner,
and kept SO till her child was born. 6ho lad
very privately married again, which fact Lonta
foiguea sorrow, onjoned profound secrecy rola;
tive thereto; but hfs cunning wisdom permitted
lsmpoona, caricaturcs, aud stinginG doggeres to
bo widely circulated, bringing tho Whole aiialt q
into great publicity, y,-he knowing full woll that
rldioulo kills moro speedily anu moro ofractualy
than the sword. The Count himself mas not o.;
lowed to recoive his fnilhful friends, who atIll
beloved him the rightful he!r, through the leal
ousy OF the eyor-watchful Citizeu-King.. Willie
