But it would be pity that God

IsoIaEnG's RIVAL.

Prince Philippe de Bourbon is giving much
trouble, including the apprehension Of scan
da1, to his relatives. This youth is the scion
Of the Neapolitan branch Of that luckless
house, his father being the Count Of Acquila,
first cousin to the ex-king of the two Sicilies,
and his mother a daughter of the Emperor
Pedro I. Of Brazil. There are six lives be-
tween Prince Philippe and the succession to
the shadowy crown Of Francis IT,, 50 that
his highness probably feels at liberty to act
unfettered by the sense Of too grave respon-
sibilities. His follies have hitherto been Of
q modest kind, chiefly confined to the Dor
rowing Of money which he found impossible
to repay. But it was hoped the prince, who
is SO years Of age, would yet make a brilliant
marriage, and redeem the past with his wife's
money. Some weeks ago this was very nearly
the case. Few are aware that Philippe de
Bourbon was the rival Of Roland Bonaparte !;
yet SO it was, and the prince Of the older
family was in high favor with Madame
Blanc, who lent him a good deal Of money in
sums Of a few thousand francs at a time. AT
ter a while, however, Madame Blanc discov-
cred that the descendant of Hugh Capet was
not noble enough for her daughter, and the
fair prize Of the contest was awarded to
Prince Roland. Now the Bourbons can not
understand how even a Bonaparte could de-
scend so low in the social scale.
