ments, titles and family papers among the Parlla-
mentary Archives; and they were not returned
to him, nor was he allowed 20 enjoy any OF the
rights and privileges of his rank until he retired
from business for good. To-day very little, II
any. of this old prejudice remains, and in the
highest ranks Of society are found many prlncely
and noble tradesmen. The Paris Exhibition has
been the means Of drawing public attention To THIS
fact for among the recipients of important awards
are several Princes of royal lineage, and con-
siderable number of high and mighty noblemen
The Due d'Aumale received a prize for the
Zucco wine which he grows on his estates IN
Sicily. OF course the Due does not sell his wine
himself, but has leased his vineyards to com
pany. He, however, permit his coatol-aruhS
and coronct to be printed on the label of each
bottle of this delicious wine, fact which Is sup
posed to enhance both its marketable value ana
its flavor His brother, the Due de Moh'pensIfr'
Infant of Spain and brOther-in-law of eX-Queen

The King of Hollands beer from the Brasserie-
Royale was also rewarded by the jurors, and Is
said to rival that brewed and retailed at Munich
in the IIOp-Brauhaus by the Royal Family OF

The GOOD anti-slavery apostle has superintended
the culture of his vineyards himself, for he eX-
meets TO make a considerable sum by the sale OF
the Juice of the grape. Several Algerian Radl-
Gals blamed him for his avOwed intention OF de-
irving money from such source, but the worthy
ecclesiastic's answer was to ask them with what
they expected him to pay the numerous mission
aries whom he sent TO Central Africa, where they
spread the good Word, bring life and liberty TO
those in bondage and firmly plant the French nag
where the banner of slavery has been rooted for so
many centuries past.
Among the French noblemen however. who are
connected with commerce by very much closer

Prince Bismarck is one of the most enthusiastic
of timber merchants and a successful paper manu-
facturer. He superntendS the sale of wood from
his forests of FREDERICKSBURG. and his powder-mllS
and pasteboard factories constitute a certain and
