A BIT or SECRET HISTORY.
How an American Diplomat and
His Wife Upset a Scheme.

Edward Everett Hale, in his work en-
titled James Russell Lowell and his
Friends" tells the following story. Tt ap-
pears that among the schemes devised by
Louis Napoleon for gripping HI Ameri-
can republic was that OF altering the pre-
sent admiralty rule OF the world SO as to
extend national jurisdiction over the sea
to the extent of three leagues from the
shore instead of one. He succeeded IN per-
suading the Spanish Government to join
him in this scheme. and before our secre-
tary Of Legislation at Madrid, Horatio
Perry, got wind of thea affair. orders were
sent from Spain to the West Indies in
structing the local authorities there to
extend three-fold the range of their DOM
inion over the sea.
Mr.. Hale says: What Mr.. Perry did In
this issue was wise. He told his wife. She
went Immediately and told the Duchess Of
Montpensier. who had none too great o
for Louis Napoleon, the nephew of his
uncle and the occupants of Louis Philippe's
throne. She told her sister, the Queen.
The queen sent at once for Mr. Perry.
He told her what the Emperor mad done
and what her own Ministers had done. l
D he said: You are injuring your
best friendSzat the solicitation OF this
intriguer whom you hate and who is your
worst enemy The Queen said this was
the first she had heard of the matter n
d would send for her Prime Minister.
So she did. And he came. And she asked
him if this thing had been done. And ne
confessed that It had. Her Majesty had
signed the order on such or SUCH a Gay:
But no one told me what it meant, SAID
poor Isabella. No one told me that TINS
a heavy blow to my American allies.
.No; no one had told her The minister
explained thai as we'll as he could. II ner
Majesty disliked it he was sorry. Y II
TOO late to help. Why TOO late. the
Queen asked. Because a steamer nad
zone to he West Indian fleet with the
orders which changed one league TO three
leagles. Then Queen Isabella spoke the
words which. as l counted 1t were the
best words of her life. It is not too late
far me to accept your resignation. AND
when it came to that 1t proved the senior
did not want to resign and the otneI
senorsdons did not want to resign, ana
they found a fast steamer 10 take OUT
orders recjnding the other orders. And
so the Emperor Napoleon got a slap N
face and SO the blockade was main

Over One Hundred and Fifty Guests
Entertained In a Big Wine Cask.
Over $50 guests were recently enter
tanned in a gigantic wine cask at Nancy,
France. The great tun, which is to be
one of the sights of the Paris exposition,
was made to the order Of NJ. Fruehins-
holz, a wealthy wine merchant. Its con-
struction occupied the entire working
time Of 154 men for a whole year. 1t is
twice the size Of the famous tun in the
cellar of the castle of Heidelberg, which
is Sc feet long and "a feet high and holds
upward Of $4,000 gallons. Some idea of
the size Of this tun at Nancy can be gath
cred when Is is realized that covers were
laid for 154 guests who had been invited
to the feast.
To reach the interior Of the great cask
the guests walked up a shallow fight Of
stairs extending from a platform. AT
the bottom of the cask a floor had been
laid, and the interior looked very little
different from the interior of an ordinary
building except for the curving formation
