of -t5is great country. Last winter, it will
ba remembered, he had fully made up his
lind to visit the United States, when a

THE DUKE OF ORLEANS
had gone to Paris to claim his inscription on

His sons adventure arres, ed his further
nroyress in America, aud he reluctantly re-
traced bis steps toward Europe. But he has
ever since entertained the prospect of a
fresh Journey in that direction. What now
more especially prompts him to undertake

ING a period when personal action on his
mart is unnecessary. Then, again he fears
that by further postponing the tri p be may

companions in arms, whose ranks are
daily Trimmed by death.

would have followed her husband; but the
care of her younger children prevents her
leaving England.
As for the young Duke of Orleans, whose
name is now popular, and who is known as

at the idea of treading American SOIL where
he hopes to renew those hunting excursions

THE CoMTE DE PARIS
has chosen his travelling companions with
much diScernmelt. They are all men of
culture and of broad. liberal views. They
will have their eyes about them and if any
have a fancy to put their impressions of
travel into book form the result can not fail
to prove valuable and interesting.
The foremost among these gentlemen is
the Count d'Haussouville, not on account of
age, bat because of the intimacy that exists
between him and the Comte de Paris.
