THE LAST or The B0NAFARTES--Nlen are
very charitable toward eyil-doers who long
have been dust. 1t is easy for Frenchmen
to forgive Louis NV for bringing the War
of the Spanish succession upon France, with
all its defeats, for he died in l7l5 ; but it is
not easy for them to forgive Napoleon Ill.
for bringing another ignominious Spanish
succession war upon their country, for that
has not been ended two years yet. and they
are groaning still under the terrible task Of
paying the cost of being conquered by those
whom they most hated. Such was the lega-
cy left by Napoleon Ill. to Napoleon ~,
and when Frenchmen see, a. they must see
whenever they tdrn their minds eye 10 the
subject that they owe their cOuntry's deg
radiation to the last Bonaparte that mis-
ruled it, they cannot fail rigidly to resolve
that he shall remain the last Of reigning
BoLapartes. 50 far a France shall have the
ordering of the destinies Of the race founded
by the Child of Destiny, a the Germans
called him,-a COrsican race that Is no more
French IN blood or origin than the royal
house of England'is English.
The only child of Napoleon I'LL is yet un-
known to the world lie may prove himself
to be a man Of genius, and in that ease he
might make bold and successful effort to
regain the place forfeited by his father
But, Judging from what little has been said
Of him by those who have had opportunities
to observe him. he Is not a person of much
ability and that he is not likely to set the
Seine abla,e, would seem to follow from
the mental character of his mother. Ex-
Empress Eugenie Is a woman of exemplary
character and excellent conduct. but She Is
not woman of talents. Now, genius and
talents come to men from their mothers.
The ablest man that ever lived could have
no son like himself, if that son's mother had
been a stupid person. Had the Duke of
Reichstadt Napoleon is only legitimate
son) lived, he would have been a wooden
headed fellow, for his mother was foolish
woman. As the youth styled Napoleon ",
was born of woman of the most common
place character, we are al liberty TO assume
that he is nothing but commonplace per-
son. and that such person he will remain.
