PARIS. June 81, 1S9l.-The Empress Eu-
genie spent several days in Paris, and dur
ing her visit woman named Chaussenot
insisted on obtaining admission to her Mai
esty's presence, preteXting that she is daugh-
ter of the unfortunate eX-Empress. Almost
as soon as the ex-Empress arrived in Paris
Nine. Chaussenot went to the Hotel CONT
mental to be received. 81 am n daughter,
anxious to see her mother. and you who
drive me away are only my servants"
The next day she returned and tried to
enter the bed room of the ex-Empress.
Nine. Lebreton, the faithful dame de conf
pagnie, barred the way. But l am her
daughter" said the woman, and then wendell
her steps to the Police Commissioner. To
him she said: "They will not allow me to
see my mo Their, the Empress Eugene; help
me to triumph over those who separate two
persons that sincerely love each OF her"
The Police Commissioner asked that she
give her name and address. Then he dis
covered that she is Nine. Chaussenot,
cashier of a restaurant in the Fauborg
Saint Denis. She is inscribed in the regis
tiers as daughter of sage-femure named
Froma int. but according to declaration OF
Mime. de Lermcs, she was born at Com
piegne in 1854, and her mother is the Emf
press. At the age of IA she was m arried by
special permission of tine Emperor. Nine.
ChauSsenot says that she has often been
considered insane, and that several times
attempts have been made to poison her.
The Police Commissioner advised her to
write to the Empress and the following is
copy of the epistle sent to her Majesty:
LAS l know your Majesty'S extreme good
ness and kindness of heart, l ask that your
Majesty reveal to me the secret of my birth.
The last words of NJ. Cairo, Commissioner
of Railroads, to my adopted mother on her
deathbed were only the Empress knows
who is the mother of your adopted daugh-
ter! have a royal crown under my chin,
L on the thumb of my left hand, the
file UT de lis on my left side, and l bear other
marks. i was married at the age of IA by
special permission Of the Emperor"
This letter was marked refused" and re-
turned. The clerks of the Hotel CONT
Mental were requested not to allow this
woman to annoy the eX-Empress, but the
day of her Majesty's departure Nine.
Chaussenot entered the hotel unperceived
by any one and reached the apartment of
the ex Empress. There she again demanded
her mother-"l wish her to swear by the
cross that L am not her daughter. When
she does that shall be satisfied"
Then she brandished an enormous brass
crncfix, and the servants seized the IN
fortunate woman, placed her in an immense
hamper and sent her downstairs by the
dumb waiter. Furious, she went to the
Police Commissioner, who told her to write
another letter, that should be sent by the
later. saying that the ex-Empress had left
Paris an hour before.
The last words of Nine. Chaussenot to the
Police Commissioner were: Il shall see
my mother"
In an ordinary boarding house, not far
from the Arc de Triomphe, lives Isabel
Fernandina of Bourbon and Bourbon,
daughter of Don Francois de Paule and
Princess Louise of Naples. bona Isabel is
sister-in-law of Queen Isabella and great
aunt OF the present King of Spain. Those
who see her now, sha0bily dressed, living in
the most quiet manner, can hardly believe
that fifty years ago this Spanish lnfanta was
the heroine of scandal that caused the
widest excitement at the courts of Spain
and France. Count Gurowski was Polish
| noblemau, handsome, distinguished and
| well received i'll society. Don Francois de
| Panle, father of the Infanta. resided at the
! Galiifet house, Paris, but the Infanta her
| self was in convent from which she es-
| capped by forming ladder of towels and
| sheets. Then SHE accompanied Count
| Gurowski to Belgium, where minister
was found willing TO perform mar
ment was known the irate father dis
| patched messengers in all directions
| and the governor Of the royal prncesses at
| last found the fugitiveS in Belgium. With
the assistance of the ptlice they were ar
| rested, but the Count was given his liberty
| while the lnfanta was brought back to
| Paris. Don Francois de Paule refused to
| receive his disObedient daughter, but was
| forced to give formal consent TO tho mar
| riage. Soon as the Infanta heard that con-
| sent had been given, she said, Order
| horses, am going TO my husband" Queen
| Ameie was 6roken-hearted because OF the
scandal and disgrace that had fallen upon
| her family. Don Francois de Paule seized
| the occasion to cut his daughter off without
| tie proverbial shilling. Strange to say, not
| long after this wonderful love marriage the
| couple separated by mutual consent. Count
| Gurowski died about three years ago. and
the Infanta Isabel is an old woman, poor
and neglected.
| A book of intense interest is 'PEvene-
| ment de Varennes,' by Victor Fourmel.
| The Kings flight to Varennes is one of the
| most touching episodes in the history of the
| revolution, and Mr.. FOurmePS version is not
| only the most interesting but the most au-
| thentic. When the flight was decided upon,
| when Louis XVI at last yielded to the wish
of the Queen, everything seemed to be against
the fugItives. Nine. de Tourzel will not be
| separated from the royal children; the
King stops to talk with La Fayette; the
| Queen loses her way; the royal fugitives
| are delayed by the appearance Of wedding
| party, and as result Of all this the waiting
| escort is missed, and then comes veritable
| flight without assistance. The Kings car
| riage is very conspicuous, and Whenever il
appears in Il village is Surrounded,by curious
crowds. At Sainte Menehould, Drouet recog-
| niZes the King and rides to VareEnes,
| where he announces that the Kings flight
| must be prevented. The bridge is barri-
caded and the people called to arms. The
| carriage arrives; the passengers descend,
| show their false passports-the King and
| Queen are Nine. de TourzePs children. SO
] great Is their assurance that the people
| think DrOuet must be mistaken, and send
| for IA judge who has seen the King in Paris.
The Judge recognizes Louis and exclaims ::
"Ah, srep'
Louis XVI begs Drouet's aid, but the peo-
| pie exclaim, sour King has been given to
u.s." and but for assistance Louis and Marie
| AntuiDe.te would have been guillotined on
| the spot.
NJ. Fourmel relates the fate of each actor
in this arrest of the King. Drouet CON-
manded the National Guard was arrested by
the Prussians and visited by Goethe. He
began life as stable-boy at Saint Denis
and contributed much to the downfall of
the monarchy. Guilaume, his aid, was
found drowned in a well and Nine. Sance,
the woman from whom Marie Antoinette
begged assistance, also was found dead in q
we'll. Her husband received large sum Of
money for his participation in the events of
VarenneS, and became Sheriff of a reyolu-
tionary tribunal. Radet the inn-keeper,
led Plus VII from the Quirinal.
