How the Depossa Dynastiss Of France Have

Pail Mall Gazette.

The manner in which the various dynas-
ties in France have deposed each other 10
curious enough to notice for o moment
when it isa question whether Prince Napo-
poleon could be legally ordered to leave the
country. In 1914, after the first all Of the
Empire, no exceptions we're were taken
against the Benaparte family bnt after
the Hundred Days and Waterloo the whole
Imperial family were banished forever. Af-
ter the fall of Charles <. perpetual banish-
ment was decreed against the elder Bour-
bon branch, and ths prescription or the
Bonapartes was renewed. After the reyo-
luton which drove Louis PHILIPPE from the
throne, the Republic decreed the perpetual
banishment Of all the families which had
reigned in France. This was in May, ls4s,
and IN the following October the law was
repealed as far as it concerned the Bona
parties, and the law has never been re-en-
acted. In 1871 the Bonrbons were like

CATTLE EXPECTATION.
THE TEMPORARY CHECK CEASED AND THE
BUSINESS MORE ACTIVE THAN EyER.g
New Yovk Telegram,

The temporary check to the expectation
of live cattle to Europe has ceased, and
more are being sent than ever before. A
single New York firm has shipped over
$500 head since the 18th Of July, and the
increase has been very great among others.
There is an unlimited demand for Ameri-
can live beef, but competition has become
30 brisk that there is not a large profit in
the expectation The France, of the Ma
tionai line, took 400 on Saturday, and the
Reiyetta, of the same line, l43 more.
Twenty more ship loads had been sent mp
TO the 28th of July than in the correspond
ing time last year. Dealers here take all
the svsiiable room in single ship, SO as
not TO mix their stock with that of some
other man, and as the steamships that take
cattle sre somewhas limited, there is quite
lively competition for them. Neverthe-
less, there is much complaint among ship
pers at the smallness of the profits. One
man who sent q cargo to Belgium says he
lost money thereby. Thrse-feurths of all
the beef imported from New York ID taken
on ,ths hoof and delivered alive In the for
eign ports. A single dealer had 9, 900 head
afoat q few days ago. The prospects for
yet greater increase are considered good.

Mr. Grow was in favor of man
from Grant parish for both dele.

that Catahoula and VIM had had

them to suffice for the present.

After some discussion it was de-
termined to instruct the delegates
to stand for u man from Grant

recommended IN the choice of the
convention for the position, but
the delegates were not bound by
the choice.
