De La Roche Francis, OF New York.
who recently appeared as a witness
IN the Pollard Breckenridge case.
While he was 1avOring WASHINGTON
with his ariSto ratio presence in the
winter of 1862. he was naturally the
subject of considerable social atton-
ton. On one occasion a very swell
dinner was given in his honor. 1t
was Il decided failure, however, because
Of his non-attenGence. What made
the Disappointment especially keen
was the fact that he had accepted the
invitation ard had failed to give any
notice of his inability to attend. Two
days later he called on the lady who
gave the dinner and a%pologizcd for
his apparent rudeness by saying that
me had made every arrangement to be
present and had actually left his
apartments for that purpose, when it
suddenly occurred to him that the
date set for the function was the an
niyersary Of the %beheading of Marie
AntOinette and that, as it was the
rule of his family to observe that
lamentable event by fasting and
mourning, it would have been man.
ifestly improper for him TO take part
in the festivity organized III his honor.
He made this explanation in evident
sincerity As amply sufficient for his
apparent lapse and at the same time
to impress his hostess with his SYM
pathy and famil arity with the Gus
toms Of the royal families of Europe.
