The Bosom Friends of Louis Ma
poleon.

Persigny and Walewski, with Gen
Fleury, who was never a Minister, were
the Emperor's amis de caur; his purse
was open to them; their power was en-
ormous and subject to no fluctuations,
and whatever indiscretions they COM
mitted these never led even to a pass
ing arrangement between them and
their master, because the Emperor,
knowing them intimately and being
quite alive to theil faults, was not afraid
to scold them. De Morny's influence
was of n different kind, and has been
generally misunderstood and exagger-
ated abroad. The Emperor disliked
this witty, polished, astute, and ambit-
ious statesman. 1t is no secret that De
Morny was connected very closely to
him by illegitimate blood relationship,
and in 1852 Just after the coup d'etat,
the further Duke, who was then Minist-
er of the Interior, was so incautious as
to boast of this kinship in a speech at a
| public dinner. 1t was owing to this
that he had to resign. The resignation
was generally attributed to the Minis
ter's repugnance to the decree which
eonfiscated the property of the Orleans
family; but this was a mere pretext.
The truth was that Louis Napoleon
deeply resented De Morny's presump-
| ton, and marked it for ever afterword by
maintaining a strict punctiliousness of
manner even in his most confidential
relations with the statesman, who was to
do the empire such good and showey
service in many ways. With Persigny
and Walewski, on the contrary, the
Emperor was on such terms that he adj
dressed them as Tu, and Persignv was
a man of so passionate and impulsive
temper that he sometimes forgot himself
to the point of saying Tu, in return.

Wall Street Unhappy.

It's condition is pictured in this para
graph from the New York Herald: Az
the lunch counter at Delmonico's re-
Gently there was pointed out Il gentle
man who stood making a luncheon OF .
cake and a glass of water, who two years
ago made his wife Christmas present
of 500 900 in government bonds. He
was worth outside OF that probably half
a million dollars. To-day he is without
a dollar, his wife's bonds having been
thrown in the same whole with his own
fortune. Indeed, the lunchroom at Del
monica's Broad street house is always 2
pretty accurate barometer of the for
tunes of stock brokers. During the flush
times from 1879 to the beginning Of 1882
the tables there were always crowded
from noon until half-past one, and a5
nearly every table champagne was drank
Now beer is the popular beverage, and
the tables are very often deserted, their
former patrons preferring to stand ut
the counter down stairs and indulge III p
sandwich or a cake and a cup Of coffee. p"

THE FARMER CASE.

The W amer case Is the most mysterious OF
all the recent scandals. The central Tact APP
pears to be the wrecking of Il valuable estate by
its administrator, who after making ducks and
brakes of the property, and utilizing his own
credit 10 the utmost, has disappeared in the
usual fashion. The case is com plicatcd, how
ever by a story Of pois oning, concerning which
it needs to be said thar nothing thus far pub
lished amounts to plausible theory or justifcs
the fixing Of suspicion upouany one. In fact, the
statements that have been ma 10 are incompre-
hen,ibly irrelevant, incohcrent, wild and incOn-
sequcntial, and sound more like Old wives
fables than narratives of actual occurrences.
All that can be clearly made out
is that Warner has cleaned ont the Albion Bank
completely; that he Ia, probably diss.pated the
Burrows estate; and that he has left his own
family destitute, after swindling impartially
every friend who had faith in HIM. 1t might be
thought that this was black enough record,
but there is a plain determination to connect
the dcfaulter if possible, with one if not two
murders also. 1t is plain enough that the man
is a scoundrcl, and capable of a great deal, but
nothing in the nature of evidence has yet been
adduced in regard TO the alleged poisoning of
young Burrows and the supposed suspicious
death Of the other man.
Wall Street as usual is named as the agency
which tempted Warner to his rum, but it is
worth while perhaps to reflect that no honest
man could have been tempted to speculate with
other peoples money. 1t is usually dangerous
TO put too much stress upon the temptations of
" the street" This has served far too often as
an excuse for the rascaities of rOgues who
never could have done what they did had they
not been devoid of principle in the first place.
The truth is that Wall Street tempts" men
precisely as the sight Of a watch and chain
tempts pickpocket. 1t is because he is pick
pocket that his greed Is aroused Just
so with men like Warner. They pre-
pare ruin for themselves and their con-
nections by resolving to make money without
regard to the character of tho means used.
Such men would be knaycs under any circum-
stances. They have no scruples and no moral
standard. They are often hypocrtes, and,
curiously enough their hypocrisy generally de
ceives these who think they know them.
Asto the outcome of Warmers affair." it is to be
feared that it depends somewhat upon whether
hehas made a heavy haul. lie hasprobably COM
mitted extraditable offences, though it will not
do to lump TO conclusions on that head seeing
how interpretations vary nowadays. SO far as
the public can see, no has done enough To de-
serve the penitentiary for life. But 1t would be
rash TO express the positive belief that he will
suffer any penalty whatever.

were it not that they are well aware that the
great mass of the voters wh) have been heard

light that is thrown upon the canvass indicates
the success of the Republican ticket. Take an
example. Some weeks ago The Post took The

added Possibly The POST which Processes to

challenge. 1t prefers to dcscant upon ~quict Re

pcst-ofce addresses are unknown.
P,tnch once declared that astronomers arrived
