HIRAM MAXIM ON THE WAY TO

The Cunard line steamship Etrur1a,
which arrived Saturday at Sandy Hook
Lightship from Liverpool and Queens
town, made the run across the ocean from
Daunt's Rock in five days, twenty hours
and fifty-fiv minutes. Among the pas
sengers who arrived this morning per
steamer Etruria was Hiram S. Maxim.
the Maine inventor of worldwide fame.
Hiram S. Maxim, the famous small
arm maker, says that he intends render
ing an account of his stewardship, and
has brought over from England all the
things which he considers necessary to do
SO. On the dock he added: Yes. am
the Maxim who works with his hands,
but there is another Maxim who talks
with his mouth"
Mr.. Maxim will remain for few days
at the Hotel Manhattan, in New York,
after which he will visit his mother In
Maine.

(From the Independence Belge.)

(From the Independence Belge.)
The stroller who loiters in the evening
| at about O'Clock under the arcades of
the Ruc de Riovli may notice an old
lady, stopped and leaning with difficulty
upon cane. She is usually accompanied
by another lady older still. From time
to time the first old lady gazes sadly upon
the garden where the Tuileries once
stood. This feeble old lady with white
hair is the ex- Empress Eugene, the once
"bewildering beauty" Every evening
she takes u little walk and returns in ST.
lence to one of the cosmopolitan hotels
looking out upon the Rue de Rivoli,
which was the scene Of so many brilliant
spectacies in the days of the Second EN-
pire.
What powerful motive induces the
former Empress to come to the city where
she once knew the joys of triumph AMI
where so many scenes mast bring back to
her most painful recollections? The SER
wants who accompany her viii tell you
that she comes to Paris to be treated for
some internal malady, and that she seeks
the services of some famous doctor who
will not consent to cross the Strait.
But is there not another motive? Evil
IDENTIFY there is. For a long time the ex-
Empress has visited Paris every year, in
spite of age and her inirmities. The
truth is that she comes simply to see the
son of the Prince Imperial, the young
man who, after having been pupil in
one of the lyceums, has recently passed
his examination for Bachelor of Arts.
One can easily understand the airs of
Indignation of the personages belonging
to the old Bonapartist party when this
grandson is mentioned. But Princes
have a right to have sweethearts just like
other mortals, and it is foolish to affect
establishment ct the simple statement
that young man of twenty years had q
mistress and a child. At one time it was
believed that there was secret marriage
in the case, and Prince Jerome, who "a
membered the trouble caused in the Bon
aparte family by the marriage of u Napo-
leon to young Baltimore lady named
Patterson, investigated the affair, and
was convinced that it was si-aply a
liason.
The Prince Imperial was 20 years of age
and pupil at Woolwich when he first
became acquainted with Miss Mary Wat
kins. The Empress, who was always
stipgy, deprived the young man of the
money which is usually allowed TO per
sons Of bis rank. Consequently, when he
met the young girl he told her that he be-
longed to small family in business and
that his resources were limited. The
couple became smtten with each other.
Miss Mary was good, beautiful and &C
,onplished girl. Her father was a sort of
lief or head gamekeeper of the Queens
forests. This was the commencement of
he romance. The sequel follows:

With fondest love, I am yours
When the child was born and the ex-
Empress was informed of the fact her
rage was intense. She had planned for
tue marriage of her son with the young
est daughter of Queen Victoria. Conse-
quently, wishing at all hazards to break
this liason, sho induced the Prince to go
to Zululand. After the death of the
visited Chiseihurst, but was not received.
Then she came to Paris and gave her
son to a lady named De Bercy, who raised
the little fellow with the greatest care.
Miss Watkins went to Melbourne, Aus
tralia, where she earned her living houor-
ably as q school teacher Princess Matii-
do, hearing of the affair. wanted to see
the child, who was then about ten years
old. Two or three years afterward the
Empress Eugene herself welcomed the
abandoned one, and she was often noticed
in the Bots de Boulogne in company
with a young schoolboy.
Most of the letters of the Prince Impe-
rial that had.avoluntarily slipped from the
hands of Miss Mary Watkins were bought
by the Empress. In January, 1878, the
Times published the following ADVERTISE
ment:
THE PRINCE IMPERIAL:
Persons possessing direct information
respecting the late Prince ana the young
Engllshwoman recently referred to in the
English and Continental press are re-
ouested to communicate with MIR. Henry
Slater, Manager Slater's Detective offices.
% Bosinghall street, London.
Such are some of the authentic exhibits
in this love story. 1t is short and sad
ohspter. and however unfortunate the
role played by the Empress Eugene may
have been for France, 1t must be admit
ted that touching picture is presented
when the young man, returning from a
successful examination, meets aud em-
braces the feeble old lady, who recognizes
in his accumulated features portrait that
doubtless brings tears to her eyes. The
imperialists may deny this story as far as
they can, but they had better not meddlo
with it, because 1t can be proved CO nclu-
sively by the production Of further docus
.ments, if necessary.
