Jennie June knows all about it. In Paris
letter she furnishes the final chapter.of the TO-
nance OF the ex-empress Eugene, and the
Prince Imperial, as follows: .-.,
"She wrecked her son as well as her hus-
band and her pilgrimage to Zululand was in
the light OF confession, as well as atonement.
1t was perhaps natural that she should never
forget that she had been Empress, and that
her son might be IN the future an Emperor.
Very early every art had been used to gain
the esteem and favor of Queen Victoria, for
the dearest wish of the Empress Eugene 8
heart was that her son should establish his
claims, and consolidate hers, by an alliance
with the great reigning house of England;
I'd Princess Beatrice manifested no unwi-
ngness to look upon herself as his bride,
should the prospect be good of regaining what
his father had lost. But, alas he was only
a boy; good time and pretty face were
more to him than kingdom and princess.
He fell in love with the pretty daughter of a
brewer in Chislehurst, an innocent attach
ment enough-one that he would have been
likely to ontgroW but it made his mother
frantic. She could never get rid of the idea
that military fame is the foundation of all
greatness, and she urged him to become a SOL
der. and show the world lero--a man des-
tined to fill great place. He yielded and
the Duke Of Cambridge yielded to what he
regarded as an 'unmitigated piece of folly;'
and the poor boy took his last walk with the
brewers handsome daughter, and went away,
not caring much what became of him. He
was nice young fellow. with more of his
father than his mother in him; and he died
possibly with less unwillingness and fewer re-
grets than might be imagined of one who had
possible kingdom in prospect, and an illus
trIous princess as a possible wife.

my dear boy can't make him as happy as you
are with the dew ofyouth in your heart, when

upon your upturned face, with the velvet turf
under your feet and the blue heavens above
your head, with the blood coursing through
your veins like wine, with fifty or sixty years
OF life before you, with mirage after mirage of
bright dreams and beautiful illusions and pleas
ant vanities making the landscape beautiful

his gray hair, and wrinkles, and his old heart
you are fool, my boy; and you are scatter

st. Petersburg.

A correspondent of the London Times writ
ing from ST. Petersburg, says A traveller
should always make it a point, when he finds
it possible, to visit a country when it is what
is called its own element. Russia is the land
of snow and ice, and may probably be seen to
advantage in skating and sledge driving
weather. All provisions are here made against
the discomforts ola hard winter. But against
the scourage of the summer dust which sweeps
day and night over ST Petersburg, all the
pumps drawing water from all the four branch
es of the Neya are insufficient There is moth
ing for it but to turn ones back upon it; and
that is what every man does who can manage
it. The city is left to few priests, the police,
officers OF her Britanic majestys squadon,
who are ont weeks holiday, and to myself;
and the Hotel de PEurope, the. best in the
town, is being swept, scraped and painted like
a London club In mid September, Tor this is
the dead season in st. Petersburg, and the
place is really too much. of thing for a man
to have it all to himself.
What town it isl How large, how dis
mally empty How it squats like an immense
alligator half in and halt out of a swamp,
medeled on the Amsterdam, and reminding
one of Venice! What miles and miles of
"prospects, or, as the French would say,
"boulevards;" that endless succession of wide,
open spaces and magnificent distances, of long
straight lines of walls and rows of trees, and
interminable avenues, contrived, as it were, to
allow the town ample room to run out of town!
A CITY of churches, converts and palaces, Of
steepIes and monuments, of gold, bronze,
granite and marble, of buildings in. all styles,
European and Asiatic, quaint originals or in
different copies, many OF them grand and
massive vet strewn over space at haphazard,
on a perfectly flat surface, grouping nowhere :;
nowhere laid out tor effect or worth an eye to
the picturesque. A town of princes, to all
appearances, or of wealthy bankers or traders,
with nothing mean, no black slum, no rag
fair; the homes of the poor, if at all existing,
carefully hidden out of sight; the whole COW
sering scores of miles of ground, maze Of
isles and islets, of bridges and entertainments,
of rivers, and branches OF rivers and canals.
It is a town made by one man, made on a
plan and for q purpose, and when that is said
all is said. 1t is not one of the cities of Gods
own building; consequently, it may be feared,
not one OF those that may abide. Its founda-
ton was suggested by great thought, and it
turns out now to have been mistake. 1t is
questionable indeed, whether Peter the Great
ever meant St. Petersburg for a permanent
court residence and capital. AS late as 1924,
seven months before his death, it was not here,
but at Moscow, that he celebrated the corona
ton of his wife, Catharine, and he spent
much of his time on this spot it was chiefly
because work of such magnitude as he had
undertaken required the masters incessant
,presence, For the rest, all that Peter wanted
here was q port, and he could under the Cir
cumstances find no better. He built it on

| TO lnundation, like the ground of ancient
Rome; for the city has already been destruct-
lively flooded eight times since 17O3, the date of
Its foundation, and even last year the waters
rose more than ten feet above the ordinary
level, driving people from their cellars and
basement floors, as well as from the villas and
gardens of the lower islands. There were
even for many years ominous specuiations as
70 the possibility Of the whole town being
submerged. "The Gulf Of Finland" Peter
reasoned, "runs westward from ST. Peters
Durg,s In the direction whence the heaviest
storms always blow. Imagine storm to set
N from the west in April or. May when the
ice is breaking up, and suppose that this should
happen just when the water in the river is at

the sea would meet those that float down from
the land side, and the collision between The
two opposite masses could not fail to over
whelm the whole city, with its proud palaces,
when princes and beggars would be drowned
permiscuously, like Pharoh and his host in the
Red Sea-" The town, however, has already
stood IT'S years, and the catastrophe seems in
definitely adjourned. As no such combination
OF storm, high water and great thaw as croak-
ers conjured up has yet occurred, sanguine
people have become perfectly skeptical is to

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, has a
proper conception of journalism. In recent
letter to local paper he says. Journalism
has become as much separate and distinct
profession as medicine, or law, or engineering
or agriculture, or architecture or mining, and
every family should have a newspaper if they
expect or care to keep pace with the current
OF events in this fast moving age. Books are
not always accessible, but newspapers are, and
at price that places them within the reach
