Mouchy.
Next year she went on a pilgrimage to
Zululand and visited the very spot where
the prince had fallen. On the return jour-
ney she insisted on stopping for short
time at st. Helena, bringing back with
her a number Of weeping willow cuttings
taken from the famous tree at Longwood
under whose shade the mortal remains
of the greatest of all the Bonapartes had
found their first burial place.
Greatly to the relief OF her friends, the
imperial exile was now persuaded to leave
the house which held former only gloomy
memories for the charming estate at
Farnborough, where she ever since spent
she greater part Of the year. Thither
she transferred the embalmed remains Of
her husband and her son to a memorial
chapel built for the purpose around
which the Longwood willow cuttings have
shot up to vigorous life Here, also, she
gathered together all the relics assoc:at-
ed. with her past HE and the great ira
ditions left her by three Napolons.
In Marlborough She lived. in complete
retirement, receiving only those friends
who had retained a peculiar right to her
affection and gratitude. Her household
consisted Of only one secretary and two
ladies in waiting. She found her chief
solace in her devotions, attending mass

an enthusiasm that far surpassed the
feebler welcome accorded to her husband.
At this time she set off her superb beauty
by dressing with such elegance and taste
that her costumes became the models for

She took a keen interest in political mat

much of the policy of the French emperor
toward Italy has been attributed. The
pope and the ultramontanes generally
courted her. But the treatment she re-
ceived from the royal families of Europe
was wounding to her own pride and to
that of her people. @7 .~'-
From the first days of her marriage
She vainly sought to obtain recognition at
the hands of her royal and imperial sis

Which were never accepted, and paid

But there is an educational tendency
abroad now which is certain TO reduce
the size of this class and to work a very
great change in the attitude of some edu-
Gated men toward business in its humber
forms. 1t involves not only manual
training, but industrial and commercial
education. The schools of technology
have already done a great deal in har-
monizing theory and the severest prac-
tice. Their work, however, has been in
the direction of training engineers, who
can rightly claim to belong to one OF the
most important professions. The higher
trade schools, which specialize the begin
nings made by manual training, are doing
more than this, for they show how the
Dry and practice can be combined with
profit and adequate remuneration in the
most strictly economic side of life. They
give a training which takes the place of
actual work in mills during the younger
years and is far better in its ultimate re-
suits. The commercial schools carry the
same idea into another phase Of business
life.

The life led in Chiselhurst by the three
exiles was monastic in it's quietude and
calm. Occasionally a faithful friend or
humble adherent of the Bonapartes
would make his way into the Swallowed
household. But gloom which nothing
could dispel hung over the emperor. Dis
ease and melancholy had marked him for
their own. His death, on Jan. 9, 1873,
came almost as a relief. .---. .-.
Naturally the empress found her chief
solace in the company of her son, whom
she loved with an intensity that was

taught her to regard the struggle as a
question Of the life and death of the
church So occupied was she that the
crisis which occurred on the capture of
the emperor found her utterly unpre-
pared for it's terrible realities.
The story of her flight from the Tuil-
cries is the most dramatic episode in her
history. The first vague news of the en-
peror's capitulation had reached Paris on
September 3. Up to noon of the next
day there was no popular disturbance.
Then crowds began to overflow into the
gardens Of the Tuileries and roll toward
the palace in long, slow streams. Not
yet was the crowd stormy or turbulent,
but its quiet strength was irresistible.
AT twenty minutes past two Signor
Nigra, the Italian ambassador came to
warn her that her life was in danger. It
was time to fly. She babe a. hurried
ad1eu to her friends, most of whom; n en-
as we'll as women, were dissolved in tears.
Then, in company with her devoted at

Ferdinand de Lesseps, she descended to

RESUBMTSSION.

The Legislature is making an effort to re-sub-
nit the prohibition question. We are sorry to
say, too that Senator George Campbell, the
Populist senator from Labette county, took the
initiative in the matter in the senate. We like
Senator Campbell. He has made good record
in the legislature, and is clean man, person
ally, and we are surprised at his action regard
ing this question. However we'll we may like
a man, though, we shall not hesitate to con-
denim that in him which we consider wrong.
The lower house is equally anxious to re-
sumit the prohibition question. The pot can't
call the kettle "Blacktace. But that does not
excuse Populist who works for the measure.
We are glad to see that the action in the leg
islature has awakened the temperance people of
the state, and that they are deluging the legis-
lature with circumstances.
If the Legislature wants to re-submit this
question, it might give us the Initiative aud
Referendum and Direct Legislation. Then the
people can submit or re-sutnit any question,
and there will be no kick coming

WE notice tendency the part of some
Democrats to change the ratio from 16 to to
some other ratio, or to drop the matter of ratio
altogether. To change ratio would destroy the
legal tender of the present coinage and destroy
silver completely. This will not do. If the
ratio is changed or dropped, we will have to go
back and make the fight all over again.
We cannot help believing that there are
enough Democrats who are true to the present
ratio to prevent stampede to the leaders who
want to ignore the ratio.
