An Incident at a Ball.


Now that | am treating of Bonapartist
themes, let me record q rather AMUSING
incident which took place at the ball
given by Lord Lyons at the British En-
bassy, in honor of the exhibition. The
Princess Mathilde was invited, but de-
clined on the ground that she did not
wish to attend any official balls under
the Republic. But the Prince of Wales.
who holds the lady in great friendship
on account of many ciyilities shown
him during the days of the imperial
sway, went to see her, and begged her to
rescind her determination. - You will
find yourself in England, Madame, nou in
Republican France" was the argument
that he used. In short, she was con
vinced and decided togo. Onentering the
halls of the Embassy, she found herself
surrounded by strangers, but a gentle
man gallantly stepped forward and Of
Tered her his arm, saying. Permit me,
Madam la Princesse, to escort YOU to the
reception room" The lady accepted
the Proiiered courtesy, and after greet
ing her host she asked, 'EAnd to whom
have | the pleasNre of speaking? >" "To
NJ. Waddington, Madame" responded
her conductor with lev bow. Imagine

The fact that General Philippovich,

manders of the army corps, gives an
idea of the extent of the proposed mobil-
ization of the Austrian army, and causes
speculation as to the mission of such a

The late Cardinal Franchi was very
fond of retailing Pho Nono's good say
ings. Here Is one which the Cardinal
secretary of State used to tell with in
tense relish. Complaints had been fIe-
quently made by priests TO the Propa-
ganda of the arbitrary exercise OF author
ity over his clergy by certain Austrai-
ian Archbishop. The Archbishop was
informed that his presence in Rome
would be esteemed favor. He crossed
the seas and arrived in Rome. In due
course he was introduced to Pho Mono,
who was well conversant with the points
in dispute between the Archbishop and
his clergy. Oh, said Pho Mono to the
Archbishop, offering him chair beside
him on the dais, 'you are the other
Pope. Sit down, your Holiness" The
rebuke cured the Archbishop, and he
and his clergy lived happily afterward'
