The Orleans Family.

Perhaps the members of the Orleans
family have not all gone to Geneva to buy
watches. Precisely why they have gone
there just now it would doubtless trouble
all our detectives to tell. That they should
be seized with an epidemic desire to see one
another, and should travel from their sew
eral homes to the neutral ground of Swiss
city for the indulgence of that amiable in
clination, and that this maneuvre should
have no other significance than that, is I'M
likely. 1t ought to be equally unlikely
that their gathering can have any mis-
chievous purpose. These prosperous rich
men have too little chance for advantage in
the direction of conspiracies to imperil on
such account the actual status of any men,
Der of the race. But this family council
has at least family Importance. Perhaps
there is royal act of abdication on the
part of his quasi-Majesty Henry V. to be
read and considered. At the time the
Orleans princes subordinated their pre-
tensions to those of the Count de Cham
bord it was part of the compact that the
Count de Paris was recognized as the heir
uppuIcue w thut IiuCe titic W
the throne of France. Perhaps Henry
wants TO become monk and to pass the
sword OF st. Louis on to another, and the
family is called together to consider the
case. Perhaps it is called to consider only
some little marriages and the disposition
OF some minor crowns. Some changes have
occurred IN the world recently that are not
to the disadvantage of this family. 1t is
the beneficiary of the mislortunes of rival
pretenders. There were plenty OF pre-
tenders but few years since. There were
Bonapartes, Bourbons and Orleanists. Now
there are only Orleanists. The Bour-
bon pretence has died out, and there is
scarcely candle snuff lett of it. Bona
partisan is mere scramble for small coin,
and the Orleanists remain the only pre-
tenders to the throne who have preserved
as much prestige and dignity as will ever
be wanted in bourgeois monarchy Has
the fact that they now the only pre-
tenders startled them into mistaken
activity? Do they want to lay down
positive programme OF conduct tor such
contingency as the repetition of the 10Th of
May by some man prepared to repeat the
operations of de Broglie? Perhaps the
Swiss authorities will want to know the
object of their deliberations.
