Finances Of the Bonapartes.

SlQCe IQe ucdGQ Oh The TRUCE In
perial his mother, Eugene, is in
possession of shares of landed prop
erty the interest and profits of
which bring her in the annual sum
of l, 100000 francs. OF this amount
she has 100000 in her own right,
and as regards the remaining 400,
900, they..form the interest on the
money which belonged originally to
her son, but which he bequeathed
her on the understanding that on
her death it shall fall into the
hands of Prince Victor Napoleon.
When Prince Jerome's eldest son
attained his 10 ajority the ex-empress
allowed him $4,000 francs annually
in order that, with whatever finan-
cial assistance his father and moth
er might render him, he could live
in accordance with the dignity of
the position he was to occupy in
French social and political life.
Prince Jerome was only able to lay
down 5000 or 5000 francs a year,
and his spouse, the king of Italy's
sister, was too poor to contribute
anything worth speaking of. The
result was that the young prince,
com pelled as he was to assume a
show of eclat and grandeur, could
not make both ends meet, and sub
mitted his grievances TO the wealthy
Bonapartists alluded to, who re-
solved to allow the youngster 81
900 francs annually on the 400, 900
francs annual income, into the pos
session Of which he was to fall on
the occasion of the ex -empress's de-
cease-the interest as well as the
principal of the amount lent to be
drawn from the estate or the in
come when the legacy would be in
Prince Victor's hands.
The condition OF loan was that
Prince Victor should leave his ia
theirs house, set up for himself and
consent to be recognized as head of
the house of Bonapartrs. These
terms were acceded to; but scarcely
had the Juvenile abandoned the
Lares and Penates of his worthy sire
than Eugene then withdrew her
$4,000 francs pension and rebuked
the rebellious son for his far from
filial conduct. Prince Victor is,
however, doing well on his $4,000
francs per annum, although his
moral and intellectual obtuseness
and the extravagances he INDUCES
in are disgusting many imperialists
to such pitch that there is serious
question in Bonapartists circles of
setting him aside altogether and
proclaiming as 'heir to the throne"
his brother Louis, who is remark
ably clever and sensible youngster.
1t is understood that the ex-
Empress Eugene and Prince Napo-
lean would not be at all displeased
if the latter eventually came about.

Mr.. Sanders complains that in
justice was done him in the Ameri-
can of Feb. Is. 1t is therein stat
ed that Mr.. Sanders voted with the
republicans against the White reso-
luton indorsing President Cleve-
land. 1t is due Mr.. Sanders to
say that an examination of the re-
cord shows that he voted with the
democrats to table the Haynes
amendment, and announced himself
opposed to the adoption of bun
combe resolutions Of any kind. Mr..
Sanders is one of the most conser-
vative members of the house.
Though he beat the democratic

votes with the democratic side, and
was represented by proxy in the

Harper's Weekly says of national
aid to education: National aid is
invoked as a provision for the ma
tional safety, which is directly i'm
periled by the alarming illiteracy in
certain states, and the inability OF
the states to remedy it. The
scope and tendency of the plea,
however, are not to be concealed.
If the government may aid educa-
ton in state, it may, by the same
authority, support it altogether.
The answer to this plea is simply
that the country must decide
whether, having emancipated the
slaves, thus casting upon impover-
ished states a burden Of education
entirely out of proportion to that OF
other states, it will not give them
such assistance as may be necessa-
ry to come oyer the great disprOpro-
ton, and enable them to reach
the average condition of other
states. The methods of distribu-
ting such aid may not be easy
to determine, but that is not the
kind of difficulty which should be
fatal. The. constitutional question
may be considered as settled by the
action Of congress at various times
The practical squestion is whether
the outlay for such purpose is jus
tifiable upon public grounds.

his family to California to live. The

standing he differs from Gen. Grant
in politics, been one of the generals
warmest friends. The scheme, in
which several of our most promi-

to buy a large bearing vineyard,
having a residence and other neces-
sary buildings, and tender the en-
tire property to Grant as loan. Ii

Daniel Webster's Eyes.

Boston Advertiser.
Mr.. Webster was once spending
the summer in a town near Boston,
and, as was his custom, attended
church regularly, both morning and
afternoon. On one occasion it fell
to the lot of an unaedged youth to
try his wings in that pulpit. He
rose, as was natural, with some ire
pidation to begin the service. This
trepidation gradually increased, till
toward the close of the hymn he fall
tered perceptibly, and as he sat
down by the side of the minister of
the parish he whispered Doctor,

to the approaching death of Gen.
Grant. He said: "Thou hast laid

great desire and a vehement petit
ton for him that lies in sickness
before whom, ere long, opens the
gate to let forth FROM life. Thou
hast granted him to be of great SER
vice to his day and land, and by
him thou hast borne the banner OF
victory, and thou hast out OF dark
ness wrought light, out of confusion
order. Thou hast laid upon thy
servant a very heavy yoke and bur
den, and now, through suffering, he
draws near to the end thereof. God,
be gracious to him, and fill his
room with thy divine presence and
give to his soul the consciousness
of Gods forgiving soul. May he
be patient and gentle, looking ever
more to the better life. May he en-
dure to the end, and rise through
the unspeakable bounty and grace
of Jesus to the Immortality of the
blessed. May all their servants re-
member him who remembered them
in the dark days; and grant, we be-
seech thee, that his family may be
prepared and blessed for thy will
Lord, where are our fathersi
They are with thee. Where is the
host of those with whom we walked
in cheer in youth? They rest
they are gone. We are coming to
