Believes That His Defeat Was Due to His
Want of Cool Nerve.
Paris, Aug. ia sensational rumor,
which is not yet confirmed. is in circu-
lation that the wound Of Prince Henri
Of Orleans is not healing satisfactorily
and that the patient is suffering from
high fever. The physicians, it is said,
decline to give any definite information
as to his condition. According to an
other rumor the Count Of Turin, when
Prince Henri was wounded, hurried
toward him, greatly agitated, and said:
II hope 1t Is not serious"
Although the Republicans would fain
console themselves with the reflection
that Prince Henri's overthrow has
killed Orleanism for generation,
French pride, irrespective Of party, is
deeply hurt by the italian princes VIC
tory. The French anger Is further
stimulated by persistent reports that
Prince Henri was inferior to his oppo-
nent in nerve more than in swordsman-
ship and was completely overborne by
the violent, reckless onslaught Of the
Count of Turin. The opinion Is said to
have been expressed by the counts sec
onds that If Prince Henri had had prop
er self-control he had an opening in the
second bout which would easily have
enabled him to put the Count of Turin
horS de combat.

To lift, to save, just where thou art.

Their ways are hedged by unseen thorna
Their burdens fret. as thine fret thee.
Out yonder, In the broad full glare

And thy sweet song. amid the roar

While these, thy kindred, wandered on
Uncheered, unlighted to the end;
Near to thy hand thy mission lies,
Wherever sad hearts need friend.
