Twice a year the Empress Eugene,
who once reigned by right of beauty,
the most f1attered of sovereigns, passes
a few weeks at Paris on her way to or
from the south. This year" writes
Count F1eury, "the illness, then the
death, OF her cousin, the Princess Ma
thiIde, kept Empress Eugene in Paris
longer than usual. She returns merely
as a traveller, and she holds to the
strictest incognito. From the windows
of the Continental Hotel her sad eyes,
now slightly dimmed, gaze at the gar
den of the Tuileries, from which she
was torn by a whirlwind of revolution

triumphed, the temple of her resplend-
ent beauty. Sometimes in the Conti-
nentars arcades passersby are attract

walks leaning on cane, dressed in the
deepest mourning. TO which she has

ate Prince Imperial. Instantly they

10 the Editor pf The Ledger: The
recent sad death of that unfortunate
girl, the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of
the late Prince Rudolph of Bavaria,
recalls to my mind an incident which
may be of interest to you or your read
ers. In May, 1873, I was a passenger on
board the American mail steamer for
New Zealand and Australia, touching at
Honolulu by the way. On my coming
on deck after two or three days sick
ness, | noticed young man standing
at the edge of the steamer deck gazing
out over the sea. He never moved
either his attitude or his position as
long as | stayed on deck The next day
when | came up, he was standing in
the same place and in exactly the same
position as before, gazing out over the
ocean IN fixed way that attracted my
attention. The steward had placed my
chair near him. and the sound of moving
it caused him to turn around and look
at me- He had large, melancholy, black
ewes and a sallow complexion. My ex-
preston must have been kindly, for

he looked as simply pleased as a child.
He told me his home was in Austria,

him if he had come alone, and he said
he had been accompanied as far as Chi
cago by two gentlemen, but they became
frightened at being so far from home,

be very much surprised at his courageous
act. | looked at him incredulously; |
could scarcely believe him to be serious.
I thought he meant it as a joke, and

lips relaxed into complacency: Not,

only remark | ever heard from him
anent the affair.

A week later Tia appeared with her hair
in a new fashion. Instead of fiat but
terfiy at the back of her head, it was
piled in a marvellous fan-staped roll on
top. She expressed great surprise at my
ignorance in not perceiving at once that
she was no longer '.o-jo'-san. but %

housekeeping in his erstwhile bachelor
bedroom.
