Ivan against Felton, Of the With California District
Sullivan, the Democratic contestant seems to base his

There never were, I think, no many
royal widows in the regal circles of
Europe in existence at one time as
there are at present. Beginning with
Quecn Victoria, the Empress Eugene,

gnsta and Victoria, there are now
Queen Christina, of Spain, the Duch-
css of Albany, and, latest of all, the
Grand Duchess Stephanie, whose aunt,

has put on widows weeds, as she
in in daily expectation of the arrival at
her present home of the emperor
Macmillan. What a brilliant destiny
that unfortunate Prince threw away
when he left the charming shades Of
Miramus tn run after the will-o'-the-
wisp grandeurs of a visionary empire
in the new world. He would have
been now, by the death of his nephew,
Prince Rudolph, the heir to the Aus
trim throne, and popular and beloved
as he was, he would have been raptur-
ously hailed as the future emperor by
the nations under the sway Of Austria.
Napoleon III. did his most fatal work
when he lured the intelligent, amiable
Macmillan from his conjugal happi-
ness and the brilliant possibilities of
his future to work out his own sinister
designs, which were not for the ag-
grandizement of the unfortunate arch
duke, nor ven for the regularization
of French claims in Mexico, hut which
were simply covert acts of hostility
against the United States. II have
carved you an empire out of a block of
silver" was the remark of Napoleon to
Macmillan when the latter came
to take leave of him. It was not an
empire, hut a sarcophagus that the
crowned Mephistopheles had followed
out for his luckless guest, and not
from a block of silver, hut from one oi
granite-not in sunny Mexico, hut in
the dim funeral vault of the Haps'
burgs.-Pdris Letter.
