DE Blowitz deplored the action of the
government, urging that exile placed
the claimants to the throne in the best
position they could wish-that of being
able to conspire at their ease.
An intensely dramatic story is told
which relates the circumstances under
which Due Deeazes, minister of for
eign affairs. heard that Lord Derby had
bought 100000 shares of Suez stock,
which gave England control of the
canal 1t was in 1875 and De Blowitz
writes that he was at the house Of the
minister watching him play game OF
billiards with a lady. Opening tbs

Suddenly he became red. then pale and

Then, as If maddened, with an ire

cue, which he had put down, struck IL
on the rim of the table, broke il across
his knee and threw the bits into the
fire. The persons present, it may be
imagined. were in a great state OF
mind. Suddenly approaching me, his
teeth set with anger, he said: DO you
know what have just heard? Derby
has just bought 100000 Suez shares
from Ismail. while every possible eff
fort has been made to conceal from us,
not only the negotiations. but even Is

The boil weevil is a beetle with a
huge proboscis, and came originally
from Mexico. The extension of cot
ton growing in the southern counties
of Texas made bridge for him to cross
the Rio Grande, and he was first no

agricultural department experts pro-
posed to the Texas legislature to stop
growing cotton along the river for two
years, and starve the assassin out. who

Since then the beetle has travelled at

good an opportunity as anyone then
living, when he opposed an appropria-
ton that was intended to establish

great statesman electrified congress
with these words;
