The Prince Imperial.

Paris Correspondence Of the Leadon Timosl
The Republican papers animadyert
severely on some of the passages in NJ.
Loudun's pamphlet which convey the
Impression that the Prince Imperial
expected to ascend the throne BY a
coup de force. Thus the prince is
made to say, "IfI return by a plebis.
cite, adding, after a pause and with a
smile, which is not probable, where
upon NJ. Loudun gushingly ex-
claims: All prince, how glad you
make me. You see the truth. A ma.
ton does not choose its government 4;
1t takes it; it is an invariable histori-
cal law; revolutions end and o
ernments establish themselves only
by. one method-force." The
prince does not contradict him.
de, himself, only seems TO
blame Marshal MacMahon for giving
way in 1877, but writes on the eve Of
starting for the Cape, Patience and
good spirits should now be our motto;
nothing serious will happen before
next year the moment at which
(here the quotation abruptly breaks
off, Now, NJ. Loudun has certainly
done the prince a very questionable
service by publishing fragments of his
conversation and letters but many. at
least, OF these passages are manifestly
answers to leading questions, the
prince simply asserting to the inter
viewers ideas. On the other hand.
the prince during the crisis of 1877
wrote to a then prominent member of
his party, blaming the cooperation of
the Bonapartists in that enterprise.
and declaring that he would never
like his father, trail a coup d'etat
behind him all his life. 1t cannot be
expected that a young man of twenty
three should have settled political
views, and he was evidently apt to
agree for the moment to any view con-
tidently enunciated by a correspon-
dent or interviewer of greater age and
experience. Even the Ordre feels the
necessity of accepting the pamphlet
with reservations, as revealing only
one side of the princes character, and
it mentions his willingness to listen to
all opinions. AS to the succession
question NJ, Prax Paris, a leading
Bonapartist deputy, has written a tell.
reply to NJ, Granier de Cassagnac's
strange denial of hereditary claims,
reminding him that Napoleon III
liked the order of succession, and
hat to the 18th of June he himself
would have secuted the notion of any,
body but the Prince Imperial being
declared emperor.

Grew the Wood for His Coffin.

wheeling (W.Va.) Register
A remarkable story is told of tn,
late Captain Stone, of Moundsyille
who was buried at the beginning Of
this week. T~hirty-fve years ago he
came from New Orleans to Mounds
vile to make his home, and brought
with him two seeds of mahogany-like
tree that lourished near his formor
home. These he planted, remarkine
to his family that he would have hi,
coffin made from the tree. One of the
seeds died but the other fourished
and grew. From a shoot it became a
sapling and, finally, in the course Of
twenty years, grew to a ine tree.
About eight months ago a severe wind
storm passed over Moundsville. and
Captain Stone found his tree laid pros
trate. He had it dried, sawed into
lumber and sent to a Pittsburg firm.
In a short time it was returned to him
IN the form Of a beautiful coffin. and
Tor four months it was preserved in
his residence. About two weeks ago
ne contracted a sickness that culmi-
mated in his death, and his desire
being fulfilled, he was laid awayin the
coffin he printed thirty-fve years ago.

Burning for Thirty. Six Years

Charlotte On. O.) 0bserver.l
About three years ago the Observer
reported the case of a citizen of this
county who, having: married in 1913
lighted a fire on his hearth-stone as
soon as he had carried his bride to his
new home, and had kept it burning
ever since. The citizen was in town
yesterday, and, being questioned about
the matter, stated that the fire was
still burning, and that throughout all
these thirty.six years it had never
been allowed to 60 out. Questioned
as to whether or not it made the house
uncomfortably hot in torrid weather.
he said the extra heat thus generated
was not perceptible. In reply to an
other question, he said in summer
weather, when it was necessary
for comforts sake to keep the FIRE
burning very low, he had to get up
frequently at night to replenish it
slightly, but that ne counted this MS
nothing when he contemplated tic
idea Of that fire going out. He las
evidently formed for it a strong at
tachment, and yet one would not take
HIM for a sentimental man. But this
hre IS to him a constant reminder of
the day when he first brought home
his bride. Around it his children
have grown up into manhood and
womanhood, and their children have
gazed into It's light. 1t was the last
light that fell upon the eyes of his
wife, and IL hopes that it will be the
last that will fall upon his. Viewed
thus, his sentiment in the matter can
be understood, and so strong is this
sentiment that with the old man il
amounts almost to a passion.
