PARIS, February s, 1888.
| The expulsion of the princes
seems to partake of the character of
''Much Ado about Nothing" and
storm in tea cup. 1t has now
been discovered that the govern
ment has even the right to expel a
disagreeable citizen under the vaga-
bond act, and that any officer aim
ing to be marshal or a generals
simo can be made to walk the plank.
The result Of the agitation in the
press and the Chamber for the ban
ishment of hereditary pretenders-

part in the row, hps been, to unite
the divided Bonapartists, to eXtol
the OrleanlStS as martyrs and the
elect, and to induce sundry Iegiti.

fixed by not only Providence, but
the astrological, [ mean to say, as
Economical clock.
The anarchists at their recent
meeting voted mem con that the So
luton about what to do with royal
princes with great expectations on
the brain, was to shoot them; to
this rider was added, that the de-
puties be similarly disposed of. M.
Andrieux, the leader of the most
whirligIg of all the weathercock
lotteries in the country proposes the
formula of j. j. Rousseau that as
all men are born equal, they ought
to be treated equally. 1t is only in
France that the Irishman's cOntrGt
social is acted upon, namely that
one man is as good as another, and
a great deal better. Another deputy
proposes to exile all who are not
republicans, while a third would
declare every member of the SOW
ereign people eligible for the crown
of France.
The senators are now dealing with
the expulsion bill, and are inclined
to reject it. But it does not at all
follow they Will do so; tinkering on
the most scientific principles will be
applied to amend the measure,
masterpiece of eXpediency. Flo

Senate throw cut the bill, the ex-

question for the revision of the
constitution, and which has for
chief end improving the Senate out

But the 0rleanistS will not be al
lowed TO slip out of the moose. If
the Senate reject the new
laws, it is contemplated to repeal

Prince Napoleon has been re-
moved to private hospital, the
prison cell having really affected his
health. As he personally pays for
this special doctoring and as he is
only under the preventive arrest,
the equality boys ought not to
trump up a charge of favor against
the authorities. Crowds of visitors
call to leave their cards on the
Prince, and the same political sym
