SEVERE CRITICISM.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Times Paris
correspondent, commenting on the death
of Prince Napoleon, deals severely with
the attendant circumstances at the death
scene. He says the religious fanaticism
and human ambition made at the sick
bed, where modern science had prolonged
for a fortnight a life otherwise ended long
ago, the church and throne disputing for
NO ion Of fhn bo1 ttyh, h,nh y, ,Tlr
sired to convert into a trophy, and the
bigotry on one side and thirst for power
on the other, added prolonged horrors to
the dying agony. Each had recourse to
lying in order to simulate success. Pub
lie opinion revolted by the hideous zeal
of those who torture the dying in order
TO make them clients for the confessional.
1t revolted still more by acts the rebel son,
who still persists in rebellion in order to
secure an ephemeral useless power.
The confessions of cardinals, nuns and
other religious people have shown
| willingness to revive all the horrors of
| the Middle Ages only. The one who
leaves the scene with higher reputation
| is the Prince himself, who preserved in
| tact his force will to die as he had lived,
with horror counterfeit in soul and with
| contempt for hypocrites on his lips.
HIS MISSION TO ROME.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Paris corre-
| spondent of the Nea0s says: Prince Ma
poleon went to Rome to counsel King
Humbert on the dangers of the Driebund
to the House of Savoy and to advocate
the plan of the Duchess D'Uzes to have
Prince Naples marry Princess Helena of
Orleans instead of Princess Letitia, whom
the Duchess had destined for the Due
D'Orleans. Prince Napoleon gave copies
of his will and memoirs to several trusted
| friends, in order to prevent tampering,
| and ordered that the memoirs should not
be published during his lifetime.
Ex Empress Eugenie says Able Puiol
administered extreme JUNCTION to enable
King Humbert to give state funeral.
Prince Napoleon's memoirs establish
by written evidence the fact that he did
never agree with Napoleon III, even on
the day following the disavowal of the
| Ajaccio speech. That he always remain
ed Frenchman, and had nothing in view
| but the interests of France at the time of
! the Italian affair. The memoirs include
the Princess correspondence with Ma
| poleon III. up to the time of the latters
| death.
