brother-in-law that he must remember that
in Spain he is in her dominions, and that
she will not permit him to insult the empress
of the French, whom she has recognized and
with whom she is on terms of amity.''
The Count de We'll Castel abomin stes
Prince Napoleon He writes of him as fol-
lows in 1854: 'The first impression pro-
duced by Prince Napoleon is not favorable,
and when you learn to know him you despise
him profoundly. If he were brave we might
pray that the enemy's bullets would rid us of
him, but we have not that resource"
An anecdote from Spain of the same year:
THE news from Spain is very bad. Queen
Christina, after having read the proclamation
of Queen Isabella to the Spaniards, boxed her
daughters ears in the palace before the whole
council, saying, You degrade the mon
archy.'"
The accusation of undue economy is made
by the author against the empress. He
writes in 1860: This evening the empress,
under the name of the Duchess de Tascher
gives grand ball at the Hotel d'Albe. The
expenses of the fete will amount to $50, 900,
but there is no money to be given to the art
galleries for the augmentation OF the collec-
tons. The empress, l regret to say,
only thinks of herself and of Tersuad-
ing the emperor to give her diamonds, jewels,
money, etc. She canuot imagine why money
should be spent on works of art. The en-
press receives $4,000 per month for pocket
money, and all her expenses are paid. The
Louvre has S14, 600 annually for its aceuisi-
tons, and the imperial treasury gets all the
product of the cataIogs, costs, etc. Fould de-
tests art and fully coincitles with the views OF
| the empress"

conduct of Prince Napoleon, then but few
weeks married, towards his young bride
''YoU cannot imagine how he treats the poor
child, nor with what roughness he speaks to
her. Last evening at the Tuileries, seeing
that she was dancing and enjoying herself,
he took her away at II o'clock, and when
demonstrated with him he answered.: cat
home, where | am amused, 90 to bed at II
| o'clock; so | surely have the right to go away
| at the same hour when | am bored" His
| young wife has not yet recovered from the
amazement caused by his behavior. He will
not breakfast with her, and never sees hel
during the day. He has forbidden her ever
| to come to see him, and il she has anything
to communicate to him she is forced to write
! to him.
The wicked wits of Paris got up the follow
ing anecdote about Prince Napoleon on the
occasion of the death of his father, Prince
Jerome: They say that he in sisted, just be-
fore his fathers death, on approaching The
bed to ask him how he did. DR.. Roger sale
to him: DO not disturb your father, Mon
| seigneur; it would be wholly useless. for hC
would not know YOU The Prince still in
sisted, and went up to the bed. At hi:
approach Prince jerome seemed to rouse VI
from his stupor, and he murmured: is tina
you, my brave fellow!'
=" You see, Mouseigneur,' said the doctor
reproachfully, he does not know you.' "
NJ de Viei-Castel declares that public
opinion in France was wholly on the side o
the recognition of the son of Miss Patterson
as the legitimate offspring of Prince jerome
He says: I'm the year 1854 the emperor
wrote to his uncle: L must recognize as
relative the man who is your legitimate sor
according to French law Despite which NJ
Bonaparte-Patterson will lose his lawsuit. ,
