Value of French Titles.

The periodical efforts OF this or that
jealous legislator in France to do
something towards abolishing French
titles of nobility have been made to
languish, temporarily, at least, by an
utterance of the Prince de Lucinge-
Faucigny, who says: What prestige
do titles of nobility confer in these
days? They are sold. bought, and
often taken. so they are no longer OF
much Importance. The names OF the
old French families can well dispense
with any handle" So he declares him
self in favor of the complete suppress
sion of titles, since. with the abolition
of the genuine ones, all the sham IT,
ties, which throw ridicule on the real
aristocracy, will disappear.
