BRIDE OF BRAGANZA.


| PARIS. April %
The Comte and Comtesse de Paris must begin to
feel old. Their eldest daughter s to be married on
| May % to tho heir to the Crown of Portugal and
their eldest aspres TO student life IN the o-
! ieman quarters of the town along with his cousin,
Prince Henri de Chartres. The Royal youngsters
who have been mewed up in a monarchlcal circle
are about the age. each having entered his
nineteenth year. The Duke is styled by the parti-
sans of his house /" lie Dauphin,' q title which has
not been in use since the revolution which brought
Louis Philippe TO the top and overthrow Charles X.
This Royal stripping is built like a tongs-
| n sort Of figure hereditary In his
family He has long legs aud short
body with q crane neck surmounted by small
round face The eyes the merest Sits. but look
wide awake. His cousin. Prince Henry, would be
better looking If his upper teeth did not project to
phenomenal degree above his under teeth so as TO
render it impossible for him to keep his mouth
shut He has hunchv lips neither Of which Is sus-
ceptible of being stiflened by resolution. We'll. the
prIncely cousins havo placed themselves under the
| plotagc of n Hebrew damsel of free and easy man.

night Young de Chartres IS a cadet at St. Cyr lie
and young dOrleans, who have been brought up
that they could not do better than pass last Sunday
evening in rhe society Of the pretty Jewess. She
entered hanging on to both "Le Chat Noir" Cafe,
in the Rue Laval, the hnmors OF which they had
desired to witness. They made their entrance
there late in the evening when a gay song was be-
ing sung and the place filled with young art stu
dents and artists. lie Chat Noir' Is a cafe got
up like the Lion d. Or. in imitation of the od-fash-
Ioned avern. It Is managed by an artistic Hebrew
named Sails and has for its sign a black cat. The
walters are dressed ike acade nlcians and the es-
tablishment is chiefly patronized by art students
and those single ladies VINO so numerous in the
QUARTER Breda.
Well. as | have said, the pilot and her
Royal adorers entered abreast, with each of
her arms linked IN one Of theirs. After they
sat down and books placed before them
she went to the landlord to reveal to
him their rank and to beg that the singer should be
asked to give something in compliment to them.
Sails bowed low to her and hastened to make
salaams to the Dauphin and to his cousin. to the
astonshment of most of his other guests He then
went to confer with singer who unfortunately
did not know aslngle Orleauist ditty, but as they
say here, attacked" i. O., 0pwled out, a rlbald
lampoon on Gr6vy and the Republic. The song ex-
cited general indignation. The pilot screamed ont
Respect your princes" an Injunction that seemed
to arouse the Indignation or not only one
"Chat Nolr" but of scores of excited
felines. She then bethought her of trying on them
the effect of Respectez Ionslgneur 10 Dauphin."
That title was quite too od-fashioned for the
mirh it caused not qucl the anger which the
song excited. Unfortunately, the diva at this
phase of the proceedings began to vocaze another
lampoon on the excellent Madame Grevy. This
too much for the nerves OF the majority. Inc
glasses on the table made to shake with the
cries that we're raised of "VIve la Republique A
bas les Princes! la porte les Prnces!' Some stu
den were about to provoke tner Royal Highnesses
to fight them when a side door close TO where the
latter were was opened by the landlord, and on a
sigu from HIM the Due d Orleans and his cousin
the Prince de Chartres, disappeared. L don't see
how they could have helped fighting according to
the French code of honor If their checks had been
slapped and visiting cards flung in their faces. |
An English officer who witnessed The scene told me
that the lady dId her best to get up row so to |
advertise her. and that they dId not seem "up to
her little game" If they had not been |
able to beat q sudden retreat and |
the matter had been brulted in the |
Gil Bias and Radical papers it would have been a
bad thing for the Due a. Orleans. His father-and |
