DE MoRNY's wANoEUvRE.
As . relief to these stories may be re
counted q clever trick played by NJ. de
Morny. When that distinguished gen

appeared in several Northern journals a
paragraph announcing that he was abont
to marry . court lady Of the aristocracy.
No sooner was this published than tho
Comtesse de Lshon, with whom the duke
had sustained very intimate relations,
wrote to him, stating that be must imme
diately contradict the rumor, or she
would dishonor him by making public
some documents concerning the coup

scandal, De Moruy." Pietri was sum.
moned, but turned the affair over to
Griscelll. While the latter was talking
the affair over with the emperor news
came that the all important papers had
gone to London to the Due D'Oreans.
Griscelli did not believe this, and 80
offering to make his words good, for the
reason that the Comtesse would not part
with the papers until the Duo had an
swered her letters, be was intrusted with
all the power he wished, and departed to
seek them. Calling upon the Countess,
with whom he was already acquainted,
he asked to see her son. As they were
talking the young count entered. TAX.

down stairs, into the street, and then had
the house surrounded, so that no one
could enter or leave. Naturally, the
the youth demanded the cause Of this
treatment. Griscelli replied: "If !
were not your friend should not act as
l am doing" at length saying. "Only
to day your mother has been denounced
to the authorities as having sold some
valuable papers to the Orleanis's."

papers of NJ. de Moruy are in mother S

my hands to day."
So talking Griscelli lod him to the
study of the emperor, who received him
very kindly when he was Informed where
the papers were. And the count wrote
to bis mother: "Dear mamma. l beg
you to hand to our friend Griscelli the
little box of papers so that he can bring
them to me in the study Of the emperor,
where I write, and where, dear mother,
have been received with so much good
ness that l am penetrated by it,"
G.iscelli ran to the countesss house.
No sooner did she see him than she
cried, "What have you done with my
son ? You have assassinated him. | am
guarded by the police before my execu,
ton. Ny son. my son! What have
you done with him 7"
His sole response was to hand her the
letter. When read, "Never neveri''
she exclaimed go loudly that Piotri
rushed in to see what was happening
At sight of him she vociferated. q
yield to force. / will protest before Eu.
rope against this government Of the
sword and spies."
Following her, Griscelli took the box
and carried it to the emperor. Opening
it his fa,e shone with satisfaction.

price for papers which she could not
otherwise have used. "Yes," said the
sb,ef, "and add that De Moruy was her
accomplice."
