The DEMOCRAT goes 10 us reaueEn
this week 10 Its own original form.
We lay aside the patent sheet and
go out an aIl-home paper as this
paper did up to about Is months
ago.
At the time TIE DEMOCRAT adopt
cd the patent sheet the present edit
or was not interested, more than
regular reader of the paper. When
we bought the paper with all its IN
terest in December, 1887, the patent
sheet was still running. The bust
ness of the paper at thaC time was
such that we could net abandon 1T.
though we knew that there is all the
time sentiment against the use Of
patent sheets.
And even now We are constrained
to believe that ii Is only sentiment;
for we have had experience with both
the all-home sheet and the patent
sheet aud nothing but the demands
of the public and a desire to manage
our own advertising space would in
duce US to change. We still think
that the selections as a rule with the
patent sheet are better thaD what
are made at hope. The patent sheet
has the files of the world 10 select
from and we have only the few ex
changes we can read.
F.. But be that as 1t may, TIE DEM
OCRAT now assumes its original
homely aspect and hopes to con-
tinue go. It is generally understood
that an all-hOme pepper costs more
than patent sheet. That being so,
we now incur additional expense :
and we hope eur readers will re-
member it, and so pay us rs they
ought. Especially DO We expect
more iiacral l,i::5Ja5 = from soma o!

EYDID THE wORK.-Our short

there are numbers of bonnets without strings.

This brought her To her feet. Take

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.
His Quarrel with Boyish Friend-How
Eugenie Was Told of Her Sons Death.

.He was very fond of his young COM
panions, above all Louis Conneau"
(the son of the celebrated Doctor Con-
neau. Napoleon Ills friend in exie)
"was particularly dear to him, and
they were daily together" says MAJ
dame Carette in her "Reminiscences"
"However. sometimes there were
storms. On one occasion. when there
was grand dinner at the TuilerieS.
the prince, who was not allowed to be
present, had asked permission To invite
Louis Conneau to dine with him, and
in order to prepare pleasant surprise
for his companion he had also asked
that they might have some strawberry
cream, of which both were very fond.
During the day, however. 4 quarrel
arose, and Louis Conneau, highly in
censed, asked to be allowed to return
home. The prince, not wishing to
seem as If he cared about this deser-
ton finished the day by himself, but
very sadly, for both the children had
promised themselves so much pleasure.
When dinner time came the prince sat
down to the table, and ate as usual,
but on the appearance of the straw
berry cream his heart overflowed, and
viz AOuS tC0tS biOhC AOt bis
Take the cream to Conneau,' he said
to one of the servants, 'and say that l
have not the courage to eat it without
him."
This trifiiug but characteristic anec-
dote contrasts tragically enough with
the description of the scene which took
place when the Due de Bassano broke
the news to the empress of the princes
Aaok1 ssnn Aa -
o'clock in the morning, the queens
chamberlain, Lord Sydney, VINO had
been selected by her majesty to be the
bearer of the dreadful news, arrived
and asked for the Due de Bassano.
The due was very fond of the prince
imperial and was overcome with grief.
Lord Sydney begged him to prepare
the empress. Never said the due,
can my lips pronounce such a mes
sage But consider said Lord Syd-
ney, that the empress may learn the
news from journal or through some
vulgar indiscretion.' So the duo ac-
cepted the mission. The empress, sur
prised that he should present himself
to her So early, had him admitted at
once. You have news from Zululand?'
she inquired before he had spoken.
1cS, NudQdtlt, OUT HOt SOOu ueWS--
Louis is i'll. Very well, my dear due.
we will start at once and go and nurse
him. There has been battle said
the Due de Bassano. He is wounded? /?
The due bowed. We can even start
to-day. We shall certainly find boat
in London which will take us to Suez;
boats leave every day. And calling
her women. the empress gave few
rapid orders for the necessary prepar-
ations to be made Immediately. The
wound is seriousp' said the empress,
not daring to interrogate or even to
look at the dine, who had not advanced
further than the door of the room.
Then she went straight up to him, and
gazed on him tixedly with an agonized
look. Tears were rolling down his
cheeks. The empress uttered terri
BILE cry. She had understood. During
all that day she was several times in a
state of syncope. i shall not even be
able to die, she exclaimed, and merci-
full God will make me live a hundred
years."
