THE STORY OF MISS HOWARD.
A melancholy interest attaches to the
fale of Miss Howard, whose name is bet.
ter known than the circumstances of her
life. The story, as given in detail by
Griscelli, is as follows: "On night of
such fog as they have in London, man
was walking up and down the Hay
market. His heighth was some five feet
and several inches; he was thick-waist-
ed, short legged, with a paliid face,
small eyes, mustache, buttoned to the
neck and carrying loaded cane, with
out any hat The passers by might
have taken him for policeman. Sud
denly door gave entrance to lady
elegantly dressed. The man exclaimed,
/. Halo, madame, alone so late, and in
such bad weather.
Without any invitation he followed
the lady who, arriving in her parlor and
thinking him civil policeman, offered
him two shillings.
Madame! Money-to me?'
And who are your
l am the Prince Louis Napoleon.
Next day the conspirators of Stras-
bourg and Boulogne, the escaped from
the fortress of Ham, recalled himself to
the memory of his followers by sending
them some English gold with which to
still consplre against the government
that had twice left him his life. From
this day the misery which had over
whelmed the son of Admiral Verhuel
was driven away by the bank-notes of
Miss Howard While he was president he
had called Miss Howard to Paris, and
had taken for her a huuse. number IA
Rue de CRY. Miss Howard, who had
given 100000 (of francs) to Napoleon
at the moment of his elevation, was con-
.sidered and considered herself as the fu-
ture Empress. But the daughter of AL
bino counted without him who when he
speaks, lies; when he is silent, plots
One day Napoleon sent Miss Howard
to Havre in company with his accom-
plice, Mocquart, promising to come and
see her Sunday. Saturday he married
Mile. de Montijo. Taking her tea the
morning of the day when she should
receive the visit of him who owed every
thing to her, Miss Howard read of the
marriage in the Moniteur Official. Pre-
cipitately leaving the Hotel Frascati,
she engaged special train and reached
her home in Paris, where she saw the
strangest spectacle. Furniture, cushions,
papers, notes letters, contracts-some e
we're broken, others emptied and some
stolen. Pietri, warned by a dispatch
from Mocquart, had gone to number IA
Rue de CRY. He was able to hear, and
others heard like him, the insuIted En-
glish woman call Napoleon an assassin,
swindler and robber. Next day, upon
her awakening, Miss Howard was sa-
luted by Mines. Fould and Fleury with
the title of Countess Of Beauregard. At
the same time they gave her the deeds
of ownership to property bearing this
name, situated upon the route of Yer
sailles. Several months later the new
Countess left France and established
herself in Florence, where she built a
splendid palace upon the banks of Arno
But ten years after ennui seized her and
she wished to again see Paris. Every
day at the moment when Napoleon and
the Empress came from Tuileries, Miss
Howard showed herself in a superb
equipage and dazzling toilet. Rnmor
said the Emperor was furious. Some
days after a performance at the Italiens,
during which the English woman, cover
ed and occupying box directly in front,
had amused herself by eyeing through
an opera-glass the woman who had stol-
en- her Poleon,' Miss Howard was found
sufocated in her bed" y
