who was the indirect cause of the war of
1870. hear that Prince Napoleon and
Princess Mathilde are trying to negotiate
a match between Princess Hohenzoilern,
(of this Catholic branch) and young
Victor. and that the object of Prince
Leopold in seeing the ex:empress was to
ascertain to what an extent she is dispos-
ed to forward the pretensions of Victor
by her generosity towards him.
Victor was appointed, it will be re-
membered, by the late Prince Louis Ma
poleon to succeed to the imperial purple
His appointment was an afterthought, and
made in the codicil of will. It was also
made in the teeth of two formal recorni-
tons of Prince Napoleon's presumptive
heirship by the late emperor. the senate,
and the plebiscitary vote. Prince Hohen-

con and is an out-and-ou Victorian. After
hurried breakfast-the hurry being the
consequence of sleeping late-the widow
OF Napoleon III. started for Mouchy lie
Chatel, the seat of the Duke and Duchess
de Mouchy.
The king and queen of the Greeks have
made only short stay in Paris. Their
ma]esties were not very accessible. dare
say they were afraid of being Intercepted
ON the eastern question, and thought least
said soonest mended. King George talked
with me about weather in the Scotch high
lands, where he has been staying; the ex-
ceilent effect of the long sea voyage on his
two nephews (the sons of the prince of
Wales), and on the wonderful expansion of
the Greek people. He said that he was in
some respects like the pope of Rome in the
days of the temporal power. His territory
was small. But he was the sovereign of a
very numerous and thriving people,
engaged in commerce in most of the
great cities of the world. The Greek mer-
chants in London, Constantinople, Mar
settles, Trieste, and Barcelona, were cut
ting the ground from under the feet of the
Jews. They had the money-making ca
pacity of the Hebrew race, but were su-
perior in adventurous spirit, manly pluck
and generosity.
Queen Olga is tall, rOund-faced,
motherly looking woman. She has six
children, who are staying, she said, with
their aunt, the duchess of Cumberland, at
Gremuden, near Vienna. They were &C.
customed to very dry climate, and as the
weather has been phenomeullay rainy in the
west of Europe, she thought it better not
to drag them about with her at the risk of
colds and other infantile diseases.
Both she and the king speak French and
English. Her manner of accentuating the
English language is better than his. He
has cultural way of pronouncing the R
which is not agreeable. The queen dresses
very plainly when here, wearing gray
dress of a strong wooden stuff, dark
brown ulster. and a round hat trimmed
with dark fall of Spanish lace, the front
part of which was thrown back from the
face. Her majesty is comely, and must
have been pretty as girl. The hot, dry
climate of Athens is telling on her
complexion, (which used to be fresh,
but is now sallow. She has very beau
tiful hands, and wears magnificent rings.
Her watch and watch chain are of sill
yer, nearly made, but not in any way re-
markable for artistic workmanship. The
king spoke very kindly of his Turkish sub
jects. and does not seem in any haste for
the "bag-and-baggage" policy to be real
lied. Queen Olga had in her lap mops
dog. The hair of her favorite canine is
soft as floss silk, the body the color of wood
ashes, the snout and paws black, and the
ears lined with yellow. It has beautiful
bright eyes and good-humored look. The
bellies of the court of Charles II. all had
mops dogs. Sir Peter Lely introduced the
mops into some of his most famous por-
traits. The queen of Greece has only one
specimen of this canine race. She is less
fortunate than Queen Victoria, who has a
whole family of mopses, which includes the
great-great-g rand-decendants of the pair
sent to her years ago by the late car.
When Alexander made her this present it
was agreed that her Britannia majesty was
not to suffer the race to become vulgarized.
The Russians are serious duelists. The
hostile meeting between Prince Schac-
hovskoy and Count Stolypine was a Kill
kenny-cat offair. Both combatants were
old friends; both had been pages of the
car Alexander H., and both were officers
in the guard. A lady of quality, who was
mo better than she ought to be,'' was the
cause of the quarrel. She had appointed
some days previously to meet the count,
and forgetting all about her engagement,
accorded an designation to the prince.
They both met in her boudoir, and, Of
course, glared in each others eyes.
The duel took place at daybreak in q
clearing in the forest of Levaschovo, at
the distance of thirty PAGES. But as the
combatants were admirable marksmen
they aimed true, and hit each other. The
count was shot through the heart and fell
dead, and the prince through the groin,
and fingered for half an hour in excrutiat
ing pain. He was almost Partisan, and
belonged to the Mirlitons and other cir
cles. The lady is connected with the
Orioff and Davidoff families, and holds a
situation in the Czarina's household. Old
Prince Schachovskny has gone mad from
grief.-P0ris Cor. Neau York Tribune.
