AS to the opinion of Mr.. Thiers, this
is it. Such 1 knew it in 1870, the day
after the 31st Of October, after the check
of negotiations for an armisfice. Mr.
Thiers, having returned from Paris, was
walking feverishly up and down in his
parlor i'll he hotel where he lodged al

Versailles when suddenly Mr.. Thiers,
who could not forgive the Communists
in Paris for the check, turning towards
me, said these words, which ring yet in
my ears: t'It was to be expected. Do
you know what NJ. de Bismarck told
me? He said:

that he started, at that hour our lines

Denis, Chevalier Of the Legion of Hon.
or, ancient Almoner of the Crinea,
Mexico, etc.:
In regard to his ambition, one night
in the grand parlors of the Pessado
family, one of the first and most illus
trious families Of Mexico, said to the
numerous visitors present: "You sh onld
be satisfied. You have an Emperor the
brother of the Austrian Emperor"
1--WE would have perferred that
they would have given US for EN-
psror Marshal Baz,ine. We know
him. We know that he is war
rior. We need IA general rather than
Prince" The next day, breakfasting
with the Marshal, l repeated to him
what / had heard the day before. The
Marshal turned to me and said, "My
dear Almoner, prefer the Baton of
Marshal OF France to the Crown of
Mexico" "But," said I, "the Crown
of Mexico is not to be disdained."
"Without doubt" answered he; "but
the Baton of Marshal of France is
more solid.'

zaine had amassed quite fortune in
Mexico. Certainly, the cruel position
in which he was placed afterwards
did not prove this.

head Of the projected railroad enterprise
between Mexico, Tacaulaya and San
Angel, came to see me one day and beg

of this railroad. He prom

dertooiS the affair, but ] observed to
Mr.. Gonzalez that the Marshal would
certainly refuse the stock. submitted
the plans TO the Marshal, who studied
them, approved them, but thanked me
for having refused the shares: "I do
not like these moneyed transactions;
you were right in refusing for me-"
When we were about leaving Mexico,
some spectators desired to purchase the
palace OF Bonavista, which was given
him by the Emperor. I spoke OF it to
Col. Wiilette. He answered that the
General would not sell. l took courage
and spoke TO the General personally.
This was his answer: cit was given to
me and l will not sell it.'' "But" said
1, "the 2)urOs will confiscate it," To this
the marshal shrugged his shoulders and
said, "NNhat do l care"
And this Marshal, who would not
sell a palace, would certainly not sell
