COUNT DE CHAMBORD, liking of
France by right divine" died IN Paris
last Friday, aged SO years. The
Count was the leader of that party in
France known as the Legitimists, and
never ceased to claim his right as the
monarch of that country. There were
many to sustain him in his claim,
and at his death the Gaulois said !:
Henry the Fifth is dead long live
PHILIPPE the Seventh" meaning the
Count de Paris. France is becoming
too firmly established as "a Republic
to be greatly disturbed by royal
claimants, but so long as there are a
few impetuOus Frenchmen to gather
around man of royal blood and pro.
claim him leader. there will be more
or less agitation. The Count Is high
ly spoken of by the leaders of both
parties, having kept himself above
those sensatiOnallsts who made his
cause so unpopular.
