THE BEREAvED P
Scenes at Chiselhurst- --HOW Eugelle
Bears her Great Loss.
A London dispatch says /.


Campden house, Chiselhurst, the
residence of the now doubly bereaved
ex- Empress, has all day long been the
scene of great cOmmotion and excite
ment. The morning boats from
Calais and Boulogne brought num-
bers of intimate friends of the En-
press, who hasteaedtO her side at the
first news of the death Of the prince.
The afternoon steamer brought NJ.
Rouher, and at this moment there is
at Campden house almost as large an
assemblage of more intimate friends
of the Empress and adherents of the
Imperialist cause than were present
at the now memorable festival which
took place on the occasion Of the
prince attaining his majority, when
he read to the distinguished and
brilliant assemblage which gathered
there to do him honor on the occa-
sion, his first official pFonunciamento.
The utter p%rOstratiOn of the Empress
which followed her first reception OF
the news of the death of the prince,
continues. At intervals Her Majesty,
by great exertions, tried to maintain
outward compOsure, but the con-
straint which she put upon herself
proved too great. and she relapsed
into a condition of stupor, which gave
great anxiety to her medical attend
ants. During Saturday afternoon the
Duchess of Mouchy arrived. This
lady, during the days Of the empire.
was one of the most intimate and
highly esteemed friends of the en-
press, and her arrival seemed at the
moment to give to the empress heI
first substantial comfort. NJ. Rouher
was received by the empress a few
moments after his arrival. He brought
with him a sketch of the resolutions
which were adopted by a meeting Of
the ~Imperialist party in France, and
which resolutions NJ. Rouher had
himself written before leaving Paris
They declared the death of the Prince

rialist party that il still survives
that the succession has not lapsed, and
the empire still lives in the affections
Of the French people. The empress
expressed a wish that upon the arriya.
Of the body of her son in England, il
should be brought to Chiselhurst and
buried in the same tomb, IN tho little
church of st. Mary, in which reposei
the body Of his father. The grounds
around Campden House have beer
filed all day long with visitors from
London, all of whom inscribed their
names in the visitors book kept at the
lodge Of the house. Many of then
have sent cards of coincidence 70 the
empress. Eugene was greatly cheered
BY the arrival Of the Princess of VALE.

The relations between the princes,
and empress have always been of thC
most cordial and friendly character
and this visit gave the empress much
qualification.

Lincoln ana Dan Rice.

st. Louis B0publican.l
The veteran Snowman, Dan Rice. is
on a professional tour through Illinois,
and a rural Republican editor there,
whose loyalty has been touched by
some of his ring witticisms, calls him
"one Of those bitter and aggressive
democrats known ip ante. bellum DAYS
as fire eaters" Though Dams poii-
tics are Of very little consequence 10
himself or anybody else, it is only fair
70 say that he claims to be IAN old line
WING" Whether II was this devotion
TO the dead party which reused Mr..
Lincoln's sympathies, or-what is
more likely-he wanted to draw upon
the inexhaustible fund of fun for
which Dan is so famous, it is certain
they we're always warm personal
friends. Aud, singularly enough. this
friendship-whieh began, probably. In
Lineoln's early days--was continued
by him after he became President,
and when it might be supposed the
pressure Of care aud responsibility
would drive all circus memories out Of
his mind.
Whenever Rice visited Washington
with his show during the gloomy
years from 1861 and 1865, he was In.
vited to come to the White House
after the evening performance. and
usually the Presidential carriage was
waiting for him, 30 that he might get
there as soon as possible. Lincoln
received him in his private Office, and
all ceremonies being laid aside. the
two would exchange stories and
jokes, live over by-gone times and
scenes in which the humorous pre-,
J dominated, and have q mutually re.

The Ohio Nationals are having.
apparently, o tolerably hard time.
One wing IS charged by the Democrats
with selling out TO the Republicans
and the other by the Republicans with
having sold out to the Democrats.
Perhaps, however, each wing will con-
sole itself with the reflection that il
at least has the confidence Of one
opposing political party, which is about
as much as one party can expect, when
parties, as a rule, only possess the
regard Of themselves. Democrats
have two advantages one in having
the support Of the only reputable
wing of the Nationals, and the other
IN having proof of the charges they
make as TO the other wing.
