to be unaware of the existence of /
such a person as the Duke OF Cam /
bridges wife, but privately she and !
Mrs. Fitz George were good friends, |
and her majesty was represented at
the funeral by an equerry.
Young Abraham Lincoln, who has
been lying at the point of death in
Versailles for the past ten weeks, !
was taken to London as the only
means of saving his life. The in
competence Of the French physicians
has been a great drawback to his re-
covery ever since the blunder of one
Of them in operating upon the car
buncle laid the boy low. Minister
Lincoln and his entire family have
been at the bedside from that time.
Three weeks ago the child was
thought to be recovering, but re-
lapse came and the French physi
clans said he could not recover. DR..
Sidney Jones, one OF London's most
eminent surgeons, was called to Yer
sailles and said that the only hope
was to take little Abraham to Eng
land, as the depression caused by as
sociations with the scenes of his
sickness and mutilation would mill
tate against recovery. It was decided
t. make that experiment, and it was
successfully carried out. The Am
erican minister was treated with the
u most kindness. The Nord railroad
of France sent a special Invalid car
riage to Versailles, and Alfred
Throne, the American agent OF the
| London, Calais & Dover railroad,
took charge Of the party at Calais.
The trip across the channel was, of
course, the most serious part, but the
invalid, in swinging bed, made the
journey without discomfort until
close to Dover pier, when he was
taken sick. Fortunately he was
landed too soon to suffer seriously,
and special train, with an invalid
carriage, took him safely to London.
DIR. Jones thinks his recovery is pro
bable, though the boy is still very
sick.
The outrageous sentence of MIR.
Parke is to form the subject of
much questioning of the ministers
when Parliament meets. Mr.. La
bouchere is to lead the attack, and
will in accordance with his original
intention, discuss the whole ques-
ton, of the Cleveland street scan
dals, and the supineness of the
authorities. In connection there
with, particularly, will he dwell

of Judge Hawkins, who turned out
the regular Judge in order that he
light try the case, and the bitter
ness OF whose comments equalled
that of the prosecuting counsel. Parke
may have been misled, but no one
who knows him doubts he went into
this matter solely with the idea of
purging London, if possible, of uL-
speakable crimes, and of bring.
ing the inhuman perpetrators to JUS
tice. Under those circumstances
Hawkins scarcely acted with Judicial
dellberation when he gave Parke
twelve months Imprisonment. The
feeling among the populace may be
guaged from. the fact that Lord
Euston was loudly Kissed On leaving
the court. Some journalists are
specializing as to whether the Con
sentative Standard has not also laiG

"We have no sort of sympathy with
the prosecutor, Lord Euston, who

tastes and pursuits to show that be

admitted, during cross-examination
that he went to Cleveland street
under the impression that 'pose:
