| One day Miss Mary noticed her lover
speaking pleasantly to Lord Beaconsfield
at Brompton, on the occasion of the mar
riage of the Duke and Duchess of Nor
| folk. Naturally she thought that for an
ordinary individual he had very aristo.
cratic acquaintance. Shortly afterward
she saw in the window of a picture shop
cross OF the Legion of Honor. That was
how she first learned his identity. But
the romance continued all the same.
Just as she loved the private individual
she continued to adore the Prince. When
the child was born the mother came to
London and lived at 50 Germyn street.
to which address the Prince often wrote
to her. To be precise. he gave her in all
1896. including e400 on his departure for
Zululand, whence he was destined never
to return.
At this time the enemies of the Bona
partists represented the son of Napoleon
III. as O. young man of little intelligence
and with a disagreeable temper. 1t was
even added that he failed in his examina-
ton at the end of the year in the military
college of Woolwioh. But all that was
nonsense. AS a matter of fact, it was
we'll known that the Prince Imperial was
a talented young man, and that, far from
having failed in his examinations at
WoolWicl1, he came out among the first,
his number being g. Documents to that
effect are in existence. He was favorite
in London with every body on account of
his cordiality, which contrasted SO
strangely with the reserve of the English
officers.
Here are two letters of undisputed au-
thenticity, addressed by the Prince to his
mistress at SO Germyn street, London.
The first bears the postmark of the 18th
of April 1873. 1t is as follows:

Great interest prevails throughout
military circles in Delaware in regard
to the succession TO Colonel /. Pusey

Regiment, whose resignation has been
announced. Colonel Wiokersham had

naturally suggested as being in the line
Of succession, Governor Tunnel, upon

to consider several other names for the
place.
The name most prominently suggest
ed in military circles OF this city Is
that Of Adjutant-General Garreto j..
Hart, OF the governors ktaff. General
Hart, 1t is understood, would not be
averse to becoming a colonel OF the
regiment If there was a prospect ahead
of active military service. but does not
feel inclined to accept a position as
commander OF a regiment that would
have nothing beyond garrison duty to
look forward to.
Colonel e. p. Stacey, OF the COVER

able man FOR colonel OF the regiment
Captain Evan G. Boyd, OF Company G.

alton Of Governor Tunnel.

SUFFERING HUMANITY REJOIOE5
IN HEALTH-GTvING BREEzEs
. ONCE MORE.
For almost the first time in the past
six weeks the people Of this city were
enabled to sleep last night without
complaining about the heat.
The welcome change in che tempera-
ture came with a rush yesterday after
noon, and the flying dust and tapping
OF awnings caused by the heavy wind
reminded one for a time OF old-fash-
ioned March weather. Eyes were fill
ed with dust and headgear chased along
the streets in a merry manner, but
everyone was in a good humor, for the
great black clouds and high wind were
looked upon as what they proved to be
the forerunners Of a break in the
hot spell.
The wind kept up for a half hour,
and the clouds opened and let down
pour OF rain, which was alike beneficial
to the country folk and the city resi-
dents, who have been compelled to
\ chew the dust which the Street and
Sewer Department has endeavored tc
; keep down without the use 0f sprink-
4 ling carts.
/ The Thermometers of the city "tcol
a tumble to themselves" and descended
\ from the ninety to the seventy mark IL
an incredible short space of time. anC
4 people were not at all sorry to see theii
downfall.
Wraps and light top coats were ever
found to be comfortable last night an'
heavier clothes needed on the bed.
