The second anniversary of the death
of the Prince Imperial of France occur
red on the 1st of June. In, Paris it was
celebrated quietly and with little demon
stration. A somewhat smaller number
of persons assembled in tho Church of
st. Augustin than Inst year, though the
church was fairly we'll filed without
being crowded. Baron Hausmann was,
Of course, there, and many other we'll
known members of the Imperialist party,
but the Bonaparte family, from some
cause unexplained, sent no direct repre-
sentative. Paul do Cassagnac was at
Vichy, but ho forwarded letter of
regret, in which were these despairing
words: "Our faithful adhcreats will
bend tho knee in our churches to ask
God whether .He has not yet disnrmcd
His wrath, and whether He will not soon
show us somo mercy. He has driven us
from the throne Ho has taken tho old
GOLDEN hearted father, the old Emperor;
He has taken tho young man with his
brow Of glory; He has made us bow
before tho triumphant republic, and, aa
q supreme and last blow, He has sown
terrible discord in our already troubled
camp. My God is this enough? Is it
not too much ?"

Oriental Nonsense,

Calling on giddy girl, who has moth
ing under heaven to do but to follow the
fashions, I found her reclining on n
lounge in her boudoir. She wore what
is called tea-gown, shaped not unlike n
long, loose paletot, with elbow-sleeves,
or angel-sleevcs, looped and gathered up
ut the wrists. The material of the gar
ment WAS combination Of brocade in
gold and silver with silk gauze. Any
thing moro Oriental could hardly be
found out Of the Orient itself. Over her
bosom was n fichu of lace, laid over the
shoulders and crossing in front; q bunch
Of red flowers was fastened at her belt
her abundant black hair was brushed
back with q well-counterfeited negli,
gence; tho toes Of her extended fee,
were stuck into embroidered sandals
and her stockings were true flesh color
A glorious creature she looked, truly, as
she lay there in her studied careless
ness Of flnery. But what set out t.
say was that incense was burning at he
side. Yes, fragrant smoke was rising
lazily from IN incinerating pastile in
bronze dish. This is q new freak Of til,
girls. The scent-bottlc is put aside, an,
rooms and clothes are perfumed will
Incense. If the practice lasts long tn
cannibal who eats o fashionable girl viii
find her smoked through and through
ike @ ham, but great deal spicier.

tho hearts OF his cOuAtrymen."
So fast did the articles accumulate
that devised plan to get rid of them,
and one day, when my wife was visiting
her mother, I engaged truck and two
men and had the contents of the back
attic carried off to nh auctioneer's estab-
lishment; then locked the door and
hung up the key as usual.
The next afternoon, when seated at my
window, 1 saw loaded truck drive up to
the door, and my wife came rushing in
breathlessly.
II have just bought tho greatest bar
gain yon over saw in your lifc-a lot
marked "A, No. L. which I got for
twenty-five dollars. I never saw any
thing 80 cheap in my lifo. The men are
bringing the things in now. Come and
look Mt them"
It WAS with frightful misgiving that
[ accompanied her. My very worst
fears were realized there were the very
same antiquities" which I had paid
three dollars to havo cartcd away the
day before. I looked at them dumb
with dismay, while my wife ratified on !:
II never saw SO valuable q lot go off
so cheap before. Only twenty-five dol
lars for MI of these antiquities. See
this bedstead this was slept in by
Lafayette when he was last in this coun-
try"
"Why, did you not tell me that Louis
Philippe slept and dreamed in this bed
stead when he was in this country?"
ooh, no that's the one in the attic
What are you talking about?"
''Well, this is the ono that was in the
attic"
"Folly."
"I can prove it. Come with me to the
attic"
rushed up the steps, followed by my
wife. She seized the key and opened the
door. She looked around her in be-
wildered way; the antiquities had van-
ished-the room was empty
"Did you do this?" she said, solemnly,
when her Consideration gave her voice
to speak.
"Do what ?"
"Clear this room of the antiquities?"
81 cleared the trash out of this room
by sending it to auction, little dreaming
that you admired it so much that You
were willing to pay twice over for it,"
She burst into tears.
"It's scarcely worth while crying over
it," said. "Let this be lesson to you.
1t is n costly one, but we must pay fol
our experience, you know"
Perfectly crushed by this last disaster,
| my wife could find no words to express
her feelings rs we walked out Of the
| room. The articles were carried up
stairs and locked in the attic, and thore,
| covered with dust, they remain. Some.
times, when she looks over the papers,
forgetting her experience for q moment,
'T SEQ there is to be q sale of Mrs. Dc
Garlands furniture to-day )" or " there
will be bargains at the sale of the estates
of Courtland this morning. think

| I simply say, Remember the antiqui
ties" and she becomes rs meek as laml
in al instant, the old war-tire dies out Of
her eyes, and she says nothing moro
about going after the rcd flag, on which
is the dangerous announcement

TRI-W.EEKLY EDITION
a SONG OF LIFE.

In the rapture Of life and OF living
lift up my heart and rejoice,
And thank the great glver for giving
The soul Of my gladness voice.
In the.gloW Of the glorious weather,
In the sweet-scented sensuOus air,
My burdens seem light as feather
They are nothing to bear.
In the strength and the glory OF power,
In the pride and the pleasure Of wealth,
{For who dares dispute me my dover
or talents and yOuth-timc and health y
can laugh at the world and Its sages-
am greater than scers who are sad,
For he Is most wise In all ages
Who knows how to bc glad.
I lift up my eyes to Apollo,
The God Of the beautiful days,
And my spirit s0ars Off like a swallow,
And Is lost In the light of his rays
Are you troubled and sad2 Ibeseech you
Come out Of the shadows of strife
Come out in the sun while teach you
The secret OF life.
Como out Of the worltl-come above it
Up over Its crosses and graves.
Tho the green earth is fair and love 1t,
We must love 1t rs masters, not slaves.
Come up where the dust never rises
But only the perfume of flowers
And your life shall be glad with surprises
or lcautlful hours.
Come up where the rare, golden wine is
Appollo dlstlls in my sight,
And your life shall be happy as mine Is,
Ana as full of delight.

jewelry and will now have an opportuni-
ty of gratifying his passion for some
time. This is rather unique manner
OF greeting ones friend, isn't it?"
All this time Mr.. Smell, under cover OF
my revolver, was with many imprecations
encircling his wrists with the handouts,
and my cousin looked like petrified en-
bodlment of the contending emotions.
1t was indeed Mr.. Smell. A certain
instinct had directed me to that conclu-
sion when first I saw him with my cou-
sin, although he was greatly altered and
disguised. 1t was this impulse that, not
ing that I was unrecognized by him,
suggested this simple and effectual trap.
Once more the press rang with
praises. had, so the papers said, with
my usual unerring aim, followed Mr.
Smell to the country, and had effected
his capture while he was engaged in WIN
ming the affections of beautiful heiress.
The fact was, of course, that I went to
the country in search of health in the
abstract, not as personified in the person
OF Mr.. Smell. I acquired large quanti-
ty of that commodity in q short time.
That Mr.. Smell happened to be visiting
ut the same place, and knowing his pas
sion for jewelry, bribed him with
some, and that, in addition to some
other persuasives with which he
was equally familiar, but of which
he was not so passionately fond, T
induced him to return to town with
me. While all this, to the press, may
have deep air of premcditation, my
readers have been informed (strictly in
confidence) That it came about all by &C
cidcnt.
