IT would be interesting to know Why the
cx-Empress Eugene thought it necessary to
60 to Paris in order to extend s'family SYM
pathy'' to the Princess Mathilde just at the
time she did. The princess may possibly
have felt worried because her brother was in
prison, but she certainly did not expect TO
be conferred by anything Eugene could
say. The ex-Empress kept her sharp tongue
wagging quite too freely about Pon-Plon
when she was in a position to make her
opinion of consequence to appear now in the
character of chief mourner for his doleful
arrest and incarceration. She would have
had him banished from France athSusand
times over if she could have doneso without
making distuf UssEiie5sfn the family. It was
not to express sympathy that she went to
Paris.

Now it is in Indiana that a gold mine has
been found. Experts have visited it, of
course. They always turn up on such ocea-
sions. They say, moreover, that the 'fcre
rock" will pay to work. This is of course,
too. What wonld an expert he good for
II he couldn't find pay dirt when anybody
wants itp The Hoosiers in the neighDor-
hood of the mine will do well, however, not
to run in debt for too many air castles,
trusting to get enough of the yellow stuff to
pay the bills. There are mines and mines,
