little girl whose birth recorded in the
local Paris register twenty-four hours later as
'the female child of the Comte ct Corntesse de
JoinvilIe' The duke and duchess, being most
anxious for boy, effected a change with Chl-
appini and while the latter's boy grew up as
the son of 'Egalite." Duke of Orleans and
eventually became King of France, the princess
was educated the daughter of the CHAP
pinis figured for few years on the ltallah
stage as leading danseuse under the name OF
Maria Stella, and died the wife of Lord New
borough, whose great-grandson, the present
lord of that ilk, is now married to an Ameri-
can girl Miss Grace Carr, of Louisville.
XIV | may add that this story was vouched Tor
not only by Emperor Nicolas l. but also by the
late Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King at Arms,
and the greatest of ninetee!th century genealo-
gists who, after careful researches extending
over number of years, publicly proclaimed
that King Louis Philippe had not had one drop
of Bourbon blood in his veins.
The same Emperor Nicolas at first refused to
recognize Napoleon III as q brother sovereign,
taking exception to the revolution and san
culinary coup detat 10y means Of which he had
obtained possession of the imperial crown of
France, while queen Victoria availinS herself
OF her constitutional prerosutive dismissed the
that time all powerful Lord Palmerston from
the office of Secretary of State for Foreign At
fairs for having directed the British Ambassador
at Paris to recognize Louis Napoleon En-
pe.or on the morrow Of the coup 1'etat, with
having previously obtained her consent.
Nor it until after the Crimean and
death Of Nicolas l that the new Gar of Russia
could be induced to address Napoleon III as
mon frere." Russia as well as Prussia, de-
clined for many years to recognize either ISa
bella Queen Regnant of Spain Maria della
Gloria sovereign of Portugal the ground
that they had usurped the legitimate rights of
their respective uncles, the late Don Carlos and
the late Dom Miguel, to their thrones; it
until after 1870 that Emperor Alexander II con-
sented to recognize Victor Emmanuel King
of italy, having up TO that time refused to ac
knowledge his annexation Of the kingdoms
Of Naples and of the two Sicilies, obtained
through Garibaldi's insurrectOn of forty
three years ago. In more recent times
find not only the late Emperor of Russia,
but Likewise the present Gar, declining to
recognize Prince Ferdinand as ruler of Bulgaria,
on the ground that he had violated his plighted
word given to Alexander III. and that his pres
ence on the throne of Bulgaria and of Eastern
Run.eia constituted infraction of the stipu-
lations of the Treaty of Berlin of 1878 Nor was
II until Ferdinand had submitted to the most
hun1iliating terms imposed by the Court of St
Petersburg including. among other things, the
conversion of his eldest boy, Boris, from the
Roman Catholic Church to the orthodox rite
that he at length secured recognition by Mic
olaG II as Prince of Bulgaria.
It must not, however, be inferred from this
that Russia abstained until then from all Off
cial intercourse with the Bulgarian Government.
Quite the reverse the case. For she main

moment Of Ferdinand's accession to the throne
until his recognition, directing, however, her
representatives to abstain from any relations
