Paris Letter.
Since yesterday Albert Grimaldi is the
reigning prince of Monaco, and his ap-
preaching marriage with the widow of
Armand Chapelle de Jumilhac. Duke of
Richelieu and Fronsac, is the sensation
in Europe at the present moment.
Some time ago | wrote of Prince AL
bert's first marriage and its unfortunate
termination. His wife was daughter of
the Duchess of Hamilton, princess of
Baden, and her son. Louis, now nine
teen years of age. is heir to the throne
of Monaco The pope annulled the
marriage in 1880, and the ex-Princess of
Monaco, granddaughter of Sophie de
Beauharnais, became the wife of a
Hungarian noble, Count TasSilo Feste-
ties de Tolna.
Two great historical names, Riehelieu
and Mazarin, are now to be united. The
Prince of Monaco is the great grandson
of HOnOre ", who, i'll the last century,
married Louise Felicite. Victoire
d'Aurmout, heiress of the Duchy of
Mazarin, and in this way the Princes
of Monaco are Dukes of Mazarin. The
Monaco rulers are really French, for in
a direct line they descend from an old
PRINCE OF MONACO.
Brittany family, the GOyOn-Matignons,
who gave several marshals to France.
1t was jacques de Goyon-GatignOn,
heiress of the Grimaldis, Princess of
Monaco, and thus the arms of GOyOn-
Matignon were substituted for those of
Grimaldl. The mother Of this young
princess was Marie of Lorraine, the last
of the Guises, and through her the
Princes of Monaco inherit the Duchy of
Mayenne.
Cardinal Richelieu was made duke of
Richelieu in 1921, and the duchy was in
herited by his grand nephew, Armand
Jean de Vignerot. But i'm 1882 title and
estates passed by substitution to Ar
mand de Chappelle de Jumilhac.
The DuchesSe de Richelieu is beau
tiful woman, tall, blonde. with aristO-
cratic features; she is not only beauti-
full. but also very intelligent, very ac-
compIished. She is a musician, an
artist of merit and speaks all modern
languages. Her salon has been the re-
sort of many academicianS, and the la
mented philosopher, Caro-, was one of
her devoted friends. The duchess has
two children, Odile de Jumilhac,
daughter, aged ten years, and son,
now Duke de Richelieu, aged thirteen
years. For him NJ. Michel Heine
is rebuilding the castle of Richie
lieu, in Touraine. The duchess was
born, Alice Heine, and is daughter of
Michel Heine, the head of the old bank
ing house founded by Napoleon's ia
nous minister. Fould. The duchess is
also niece of Heinrich Heine, the poet,
and cousin of the celebrated Mime. Fur
tado-Heine, recently decorated with the
legion of honor as recompense for her
generosity to the poor.
The only daughter Of Nine. Furtado-
Heine has twice been married. Her
first husband was the Due d'Elchingen,
grandson of Marshal Ney, and some
years ago she married the Duke Gle
Rivoli. The eldest son of the Duchesse
de Rivoli is the Due d'Elchingen, and
her eldest daughter married Joachim
Murat, eldest son of Prince Murat, who
will soon marry Miss Caldwell.
The new Princess of Monaco will be a
very graceful sovereignof very small
country, and it is probable that she and
Prince Albert will allow the traditions
established by the house of Grinaldi
and seek only the welfare of Monaco.
