Nine. Friedland, nee Marie de Persigny, is
the daughter of former Minister during
the empire, and grand daughter on her
mothers side of the Princess de Ia Mos

young couple was soon exhausted but it
Is true that an income of 25, 600 francs

and so on. 1t was she who built an i'm.
meuse house at the corner of the Rue
Latitte and the hue Lafayette. When
persons came to rent it they perceived that
there were no entries into the apartments.
'Oh, they wish ante. chambers, said the
Princess. Very well, shall not
rent it. And the house remained ten
years without inhabitants. When the
Duchess de Persjgny naturally found her
self embarrassed IN her surroundings by
the avarice of her mother, she made up her
mind to borrow, and borrowed to the ut
most. All the insurance companies OF
Paris and other associations know her well.
She thus pursues on a lower level all the
elegances and Injuries of other times,
scarcely living for other than herself, and
little concerned, it appears, about the future
of her children, and she even profted by
the importunities of her daughter, the
Baronne de Friedland, with regard to the
promised pension, to quarrel with the
young couple. In despair, the Friedlands
applied to the Princess Moskowa, After
great deal of hesitation the Princess, in
stead of giving money, gave draft for
thirty thousand francs. With the ex-
penses and successive renewals this sum IN
the end amounted to hundred and ninety
two thousand francs The furniture of the
house in the Avenue de rOpera was sold
two months ago. When the Baronne
de Friedland went to implore her grand
mother for the amount then falling due,
che answered her shall not sign any
thing more, and if necessary to recount
all that happens at this moment, she must
have added You tire me in the end

light which traversed this mind already so
troubled.
WHO MAY KNOW
Who VIII say? The truth of it is, in the
evening the Baronne de Friedland returned
home, and placing in the hands of her hus-
band draft for 1872, 600 francs, signed La
Moskowa, appeared happy and eased of a
great weight, that which, brave wife, she
had lifted from off her disheartened hus-
band. The Princess de Ia Moskowa denied
before the Tribunal Of Commerce that she
had signed them, and for the first time MIR.
and Nine, Friedland were arrested, then
set at liberty. Eighty two thousand francs
of these drafts had been discounted by the
Baron de Rothsehild, the rest by others,
Mr. de Rothschild, alone of all the others,
through an elevated sentiment, which it
is but just 20 admire, categorically
refused to briag suit, but the rest
suffieed for that purpose. After the scandal
was once smothered one can imagine the
steps taken, the supplication, the Bonded
knees and weeping eyes. First at the
house of the Princess de la Moskowa-ir-
flexible, implacable in all the rigidity of
her sordid old age. Next at the dwelling
of the Duchess de Persigny. Listen to

farther on. The family had closed their
doors, and they went to knock at that door

1t is also lamentable, that in a family where
there is so much wealth, one of the men,

In the whole three generations presented
