NEXT IN THE LINE.
Prince Napoleon, who has now become the
head of the line, is Democrat in politics and
is distasteful to the entire Bonapartist follow

the name of one of these sons, but Ior a time
imperial councils must be distracted, and the
possibility of return of the empire appears
more shadowy than ever.
