The young prince imperial was inscribed.
from the age Of three years in the rolls Of the
First Regiment Of the Impeiial Guards known
as the ''Heroes of the Crimean War" Made q
corporal at the age of five, and sergeant at
seven, he received the rank of sub-Iieutenant
at the opening Of the war against the Germans.
He was loved by all his school mates for his
good-naturedness, loyalty, and unpresuming
demeanor, although he did not hesitate to de-
clare that he hoped some day to become the
emperor Of France. He had thoroughly ac-
customed himself to English life for which he
frequently expressed q decided preference over
the French. He was an expert in all kinds of
sport, especially polo. Among the leaders of
his party in France he admired and trusted
Kouher, but he loved CasSagnac. Had he ever
reigned over France and had not the good
sense with which he was largely endowed pre-
vailed over his feelings Cassagnac would as
suredly. have occupied the most responsible
Offices in the imperial Government
jenkins, a roofer in Cincinnati, was drunken
and brutal. His common diversion when in
toxicated was to maltreat his mistress After
using his fists upon her for several years, and
possibly tired of the sameness of the sport, he
: sehopped- her with q hatchet. She was several
months recovering in a hospital, and ON getting
out She went back to live with jenkins He
tried to be contented with occasionally beating
her, but at length gave way and stabbed her
with knife, very nearly killing her. She re-
joined him before the wound had entirely
healed A few days ago he struck her with the
poker, and then began to cut her with a knife.
She ran, and he chased her. inflicting dreadful
wounds whenever he got within reach. She
begged for her life, but he did not let her alone
until he thought she was dead. Then he fed
Dareheaded, bloodstained and disordered in
apparel. Policemen chased him until, cor
nered on ferry boat, he leaped into the river
and was drowned. The woman said, on learn
ing his death: Poor Ed don't think he
meant me any harm"
For twenty years previous to his death, VIII
liam Lloyd Garrison was on friendly terms and
had regularly corresponded with the Duke of
Argyll who on arrival at New York was much
panied at hearing of Mr.. Garrisons death. The
Duke was an early and cordial sympathizer
with Garrison's anti-slavery views, and has
been all his life long an ardent advocate of
emancipation Of the blacks everywhere He
first made the acquaintance OF Garrison when
the latter went to London in 1910 as delegate
from the American Antslavery Society to the
Worlds Antislavery Convention, but refused
to take his seat because the feminine dele
gates from this country had been excluded ON
account OF their sex. He did this on principle
never waived anything that involved it, lived
and acted by it from his youth to his death.
The Duke Of Argyllis credited with saying, be-
fore our civil war, that no man in history, in
his opinion, had been truer to his convictions
or more jealous and intrepid for what he be-
ieved to be true and right than William Lloyd
Garrison.
Unfortunate as was the death Of young Louis
Napoleon, It was less unfortunate than that of
his second cousin, the duke of Reichstadt, who
was born king Of Rome and heir to the French
throne, and died at twenty-one lieutenant in
the Austrian Artillery. There seems to have
been remarkable paralism in the fortunes OF
these two princes. One died at twenty-one;
the other was killed at twenty-three Both
had brilliant prospects at BIRTH both were
born after long and anxious expectation; both
were only sons and only children; both lost
their prestige and chances by the military
downfall of their imperial fathers; both were
forced to quit their native country; both were
educated in foreign military schools--One in
Austria, the other in England: both were of
delicate constitution; both were amable, gem
erouS and eStimable, without inheriting the
paternal strength; both pined for opportuni-
ties both came to an untimely end. The two
youths were as gentle and lil1eable as cir
fathers were selfish, cruel and treacherous.

The most remarkable love-story OF the
mer is told by the Port Jervis Union. -Four
years ago, a gentleman of twenty-three won
the heart of a lady Of nineteen. She was the
daughter of pious parents, and although she
was not connected with any church, looked
with a feeling akin to horror on anything ap-
preaching scepticism. But the time came
when she learned her lover was . deist; that
he had no veneraton for the Bible. and took
no interest in churches. She was deeply
panied by the revelation She sent for her
lover and endeavored to convince him Of his
error, but he was not satisfied with her argu-
ments. She finally wrote to him a tear-stained
letter bidding him goodbye forever The lady
mourncd but tried to satisfy herself that She
had acted correctly. Two years made her more
liberal than She had been. Tho more she
read the more she distrusted her former deci-
sion and she finally became quite as liberal as
the lover She had discarded. Tho lover, too.
