EugenleIs Hand In Two Wars,

That the Empress Eugene was large
ly responsible for the decision taken by
her husband when, in 1870, he ordered
that march to Berlin which terminated
at Sedan, is one Of the undisputed facts
of recent history. 1t is, however, much
less generally known that this unhappy
woman had also no small share in the
declaration OF another war. According
10 Count Kisselef, who acted rs Russian
Ambassador at Paris after the Crimean
war, it WAS the Empress who decided
the iresolute Napoleon to make war
against Russia. The story, as told by
Count Kisselef, is given on the authority
OF the Empress herself, who told him on
the 10Th or 18th of May, 1867, that it
was she who was responsible for the
declaration OF war. When the Cars
letter arrived, the curtness of which
VIGOROUSLY embittered Napoleon, the
latter handed it to his wife with the
remark that it was cold. "No," said
she, after reading it, cit is more than
cold, ellie est grossiere. The Emper-
or read the letter again, and said :
"C'est vria, je me'en occuperai."
From that moment, said the Empress,
Jar was decided on. Count Kisseler
replied: "Then it is your Majesty
who has been the cause Of the death OF
90, 900 men, and OF the loss of seven or
eight miliards of francs p Yes"
she answered, indirectly, and
| do not repent of it. Such perturba-
tons are sometimes necessary in the
existence of peoples. 1t was necessary
Tor France to take her rightful place

Of the alliance with England, and by

Who Mns NemISls?

In Grecian mythology Nemesis was n
female divinity who appears to have
been regarded M the personiiication of
the righteous anger Of the gods. She is
represented rs inlexibly sovere to tho
proud and insoleut. According to He
hiod, she WAS the daughter Of Night,
though she III sometimes called u daugh-
ter Of Erebus or of Oceanus. The
Greeks believed that the gods were enc
mics Of excessive human happin IS, and
that there was power that preserved q
prope. compensation in human affairs
from which it was impossible for the
sinner to escape. This power was en-
bodied in Nemesis, and she was in an
epecal manner the aveuger of family
crimes aud the humber of the oycrbear
ing. There was celebrated temple
sacred to her ut Rhamnus, one Of the
horoughs OF Attica, abont sixty stadin
distant from Marathon the inhabitants
Of that place considered her the daugh.
ter OF Oceanus. According to myth
preserved by Pansanias, Nemesis was
the mother Of Helen by Jupiter, and
Leda, the reputed mother Of Helen by
Jupiter, was only in fact her nurse, but
thls myth seems to have been invented
III later times to represent the divine
vengeance which was inflicted on the
Greeks and Trojans through the instru-
mentality of Helen.
