Aron Bollleau, who was sentenced to
imprisonment by French court for
his connection with the Memphis and
lei paso Railroad affair, is confined in
Coucorgerle. lJefure his trial NJ
Boillcau had abandoned all his fortune
and that Of hi1 wife, in favor of the
Stockholders of the Memphis and FL
Paso Railroad. Madame loilleau is

10 many people in Missouri this
brief paragraph will convey more than
Il pNssing interest. Nine or ten years
ago, Baron BoileOu was the French
consul at New York City, trusted and
respected by his government, andpopu-
lar and accomplished in his Intercourse
with The people of America. lie
married while consul at New York;
san, q daughter OF Colonel Thomas II.
Benton, having met this lady in WASH
iunton CITY a few months ptcVios. The
marriage was Il most happy one, and
between the two there existed only the
utmost confidence and perfect affection,
Baron Boilcau WAS afterwards up-
pointed Minister TO Ecuador, South
America, and it was while performing
the functions of his office in this local
ity that he was recalled and disgraced
bv Che French authorities, Dqring his
STAY in New York he had become in
yolved in the meshes of frcmoDps net
and had been induced, in an eNll hour
to recommend, in his capacity as an ON
cial agent of the government, the Mem
phis and FL Paso Railroad bonds. In
this he violated the plain law OF his
country. Rigid in all such matters,
and forcibly in contrast with the
known indifference or collision of the
United States, the French Government
carried out the law to its utmost ana
imprisoned whom il before honored IN
the ConcieIgei or debtors prison, thlls
making the example all tile more spg,
gestive. 1t will also be remembered
that Fremont is n brothcr-in-laW OF tne
Baron, and that the same court when
tried and found his connection guil'y,
also sentenced the General TO serve q
term of years in the same institution
He has made good his escape rom
France, however, and in the absence OF
ANYTHING like an extradition treaty,
will probably keep it good.
Time brings about strange events
There was a period in the affairs OF
Missouri, when Col. Benton was us po-
litical aut0crat. Thirty years III the
Senate gave him something OF the ~
tense imperialism of the Roman ne
tolerated no opposition, compromises
With no resistance and died as he had
lived, with the war-harlless on; llV"-
bles not n few have come TO those ne
loved. Mrs, Fremont Is inc WE VI
man WHO has been declared ieioh,
because of speculation which mas
ruined his brother n-law, hankrupted
His family and consigned his VIE ana
children 10 charity. Another daughter,
Mrs. VIM. c. Jones, now resident oi
San Francisco. a widow, has felt most
teribly the misfortune Of life, ana
though enduring all the priVatlens OF
extreme poverty is supporting herstii
md children on the small wages pau
