Eugenie's s Son

How great il the sorrow which weighs
down the beautiful and unfortunate
eT Empress of France, who for years
was the admiration Of the world not
only because of her brilliant position
but for her loyablc and loving qualities
of mind and heart. and who is Just now
bowed down "A no other woman with
the great sorrow that has destroyed her
hopes aud deprived her OF son that
she idolized. In pcrusing the articles
that concern Eugene at tho present
time the question of politics will scarce
ly cast It's shadow upon the mind Of a
sympathetic universe:
The fortitude and endurance with
which she bore up at the time Of her
husbands death has deserted Eugcnie
now. Why should she not give way 10
her grief and die. for what has she To
live fort Her throne, her husband and
her son all gone, and she an exile
Life holds out no inducements and
death offers her everything. Poor won.
an Unhappy Empress! The humblcst
mother in the land, as she clasps her
children to her heart, pities you and
would not take your place. And this
lonely, sorrowing woman, lying on her
stately couch at Chiselhurst, is the same
who 80 often held her baby in her arms
at q window Of the Tulleries while his
Emperor father threw kisses TO him a.
he reviewed his troops in the court yard
below. How bright and CAV life was
then. How dark and gloomy 1t is now.
Plus Il amour, plus dss roses
Home they hrouEh; ny ~srrisr daal
Home they brgaEht hia slain vlib spoar.
The above tender lines, copied from
an article entitle "EGgenic" which ap-
pcared several weeks ago in the New
York Herald, beautifully describe the
present unfortunate condition of the
stricken ex-Emprcse. On Saturday
the last sad scenes connected with the
funeral Of the Prince Imperial Of
France took place. The body rests
now in the little Church of St. Mary
at Chiselhurst, by the side of the dust
Of Napoleon III. A day Of mourn
ing and of woe it has been, not only
in the pretty little Kentish village Of
Chiselhurst, but in the whole of Eng
land. Queen Victoria mourned with
the bereaved Empress, and the large
number Of distinguished visitors made
the funeral a royal one indeed. The
Empress waited at her lonely home
while the funeral cortege bringing her
dead boy wended its way over the hills
beyond Woolwich.
Eugene remained with the dead
body of her son most of the time be-
fore the funeral took place, which
was pompous and magnificent. Queen
Victoria was there together with n
large number Of the notablcs Of Great
Britain, and relatives of the Prince.
The ceremony was very brief, and for
long hours a procession formed of
those who desired final look of the
dead face passed through the aisles.
Thus end the earthly hopes of Eu-
genie. We hope her dead boy has but
changed his uncertain hopes of En-
pirc here on earth for a moro lasting
and more princely crown in another
world.

How Ioun< cau,i-r wrote.

e. IL'seiaiy Voiius1
In 1888 "Mademoiselle de Maupin"
was begun. It was written in his room
at his parents home, on the Place
Royale. This work, with all its fire,
wearied Gautier excessively. The poet,
then lion and fashionable parsonage,
much preferred to rhyme gallant SON
nets to fair young damsels, and to
promenade the boulevarls with his
transcendent waistcoats and marvellous
pantaloons, rather than shut himself up
before lamp to blacken sheets of paper.
And, beside, being a thorough roman
ticist, he detested prose, and looked upon
it as the prime accomplishment Of a
Philistine. SO when he went into the
house his father would lock him up in
his room and lay out his task.
"You are,not to come out" he would
cry through the keyhole, until you
have finished ten pages of "Maupinp "
Sometimes Theophile was resigned; /;
often he crept out through the window.
At other times his mother, always fesr-
full that her son would fatigue himself
with 50 mlach work, came to release
him. II
