Zulu was to be seen. The party dispersed

THE SURVIVING PRINCE.
Prince Napoleon, who has become the head
of the line, is democrat In politics, and is dis
tasteful to the entire Bonapartist following
He has two sons aged, seventeen and fifteen
years respectively. Party loyalty has fasten'
ed around the name of one of these sons,
but for some time imperial counsels must be
distracted, and the possibility of return OF
the empire appear more shadowy than ever
