Princes in Custody.

The COncieTgerie, where Prince Napo.
leon was confined. has twice served as a
prison for members of his family. Prince
Louis Napoleon, afterward Emperor, was
shut up there in 1910 when he was
awaiting his trial before the Chamber OF
Peers for his Boulogne expedition. and
Prince Pierre Bonaparte was detained
there IN 1870 after his manslaughter OF
the Journalist Victor Noir. Louis Napo-
leon. who was defended by the eloquent
Legitimist orator Berryer, received sem
tence of imprisonment for life,' q
penalty which did not exist on the stat
ute-Dook, but which the Peers decreed
$50 that they might not attach the de-
grading punishment of penal servitt,de
(trdDdur forccs) to the great name OF
Napoleon" The Prince was at once
conveyed to the Fortress of Ham, in
Picardy, whence he escaped in 1916.
Prince Pierre Bouaparte was tried in
March, 1870, before a high court. spe-
Cially constituted, and sitting at Tours.
He was acquitted of willful murder, but
was sentenced to pay f1.09 damages
10 the family of his victim. Touching
the arrest of Princes. it may be observed
that the police of Paris have under all
regimes had experience in this kind of
business. Some of the arrests have re-
manned memorable owing to the intense
public excitement which they caused.
In 1748 the arrest of Prince Charles Ed.
ward, the younger Pretender, at the
door of the old Opera House, and by an
ordinary police official. produced COM
motion of which tSaces may be found in
all contemporary memoirs. Voltaire
wrote that the Prince had suffered a
gross indignity. But perhaps the most
amusing affair of this sort was the at
tempt to arrest Duke Charles of Bruins
wick under Louis Philippe reign. The
Duke, having been expelled from his
dominions in 1880, took refuge in Paris,
and began to give trouble to the French
Government by his intrigues. After the
Government had borne with him for
some time. it was resolved that he must
leave the country, and Count de Mont
alivet, the Home Minister, signed a war
rant for his arrest and expulsion. But
the Duke was warned of what was COM
ing. and hired an obscure actor to take
his place, he himself retiring to the house
Of friend. The actor, who had con-
trived capital makeup was ar

In post-chaise. escorted by a troop of
horse. All through the journey he was
treated with royal honors; but this so
frightened him that soon after reaching
Geneva he quietly decamped without
waiting for the remittance of his fee.
Meanwhile the real Duke had sent friends
to intercede for him with Louis Philippe,
and the King was so much tickled at
hearing how his Minister had been out
witted that he got the order of expulsion
quashed on the Dukes promising to be
of good behavior--L0s1don Times.

Xantippe.


The typical shrew in every age has
been Xantippe the unfortunate wife OF
Socrates. She is pictured as brawllng,
scolding woman, following the philoso.
pher to the market-place and ordering
him home, and sometimes even drag.
ging him by the cloak in order to give
force 10 her arguments. She is COM
monty understood to have been liberal,
even to prodigality, in the use of her
tongue. by no means scrupulouS in point
of broomstick and firewood, and when
the occasion seemed to demand, she had
little hesitation in using a bucket of
dirty water, which she Kept handy for
emergencies. Socrates thoroughly I'M
derstood these peculiarities of his ex-
cellent'wife, and thought none the less
of her on account of them, but some of
his friends, who saw her faults without
approaching her good qualities, have
represented her in the most I'M
available colorS. The truth was
that Socrates was so much of a
talker that he often neglected to
provide for his family, and Xantippe,
being most estimable housewife, re-
sented his forgetfulness By the only
means in her power. No doubt she had
her trials. The old philosopher, in his
search after the ''Unknowable," often
put on his cloak after breakfast and went
down town to meet his friends, entirely
oblivious of the fact that the wood had
not been cut and that Xantippe had told
him to bring home the loaves and the
roast in time for dinner The dinner
hour would pass unnoticed. while the
"True, Beautiful and Good" was the
subject under discussion. and late in the
afternoon here would come old Socrates
and gang of his fashionable compan-
ions. whom he had invited to dinner with
not stick of wood cut and not thing
in the house fit to eat. No doubt Kan
tippe demonstrated many a time, bat the
old fellow always tried to comfort ker
with the sentiment; IF they are worthy
men. that cold hash and those biscuits
left from breakfast will satisfy them. If
they are upstairs, such fare is good
enough for them" This was no doubt
true enough, but like great many
truths. perfectly unsatisfactory. aud
there is some reason to excuse Kan
tippe's violence when so thin a dodge
was resorted to for the hundredth time.

The Mule as a Trainer.

where disputes of almost all kinds are
