In connection with the presence in Paris
of the Empress Eugene, a highly interest
ing letter written by her to Madame COrnu,
foster sister of Napoleon III, has just been
published. 1t is believed that the document
was given out by NJ. Franceschini Pietri
though this is not known an absolute
fact. Madame Cornu. while the emperor
was in the hands of the English surgeons
in January, 1873 at Chiselhurst, asked for
news of the patient, whose painful malady
had been diagnosed before the outbreak of
the Franco-erman war by Dr. Nelaton.
Dr. Ricord, DR.. Fauvel, DIR. Corvisart and
Dr. German See. The empress replied:
MY Dear Madame Cornu: l have just re-
ceved your letter, and l lose not a moment
in giving you news of our very, very dear
patient. 1t would be impossible to tell you
all that he has suffered. He has, l think
felt the largest part of moral and physical
suffering that 1t has ever been the lot of
any one man to bear AT last they have

Wealth and Wickedness.

Occasionally you may come across a
wicked arstocrat or wicked working
man. but wicked pickpockets and wicked
stock brokers are much more easily en-
countered. The reasons for 1t all are fairly
obvious, amounting. indeed, to mere ques-
ton of wealth. If you are very rich you
cannot really be very wicked.
"All our leading dukes and millionaires
are VIGOROUSLY men of austere and vir-
tuous life. AS for the working classes. IL is
a fact that butter simply will not melt
In their mouths, But when you come to
the middle people, who are always short of
money, and the low-down people who have
no money at all-ugh.''
The reerage is chivalrously defended
against the assaults of"Rita" and Miss
Marie Corelli. Rita may take it from Us"
says Mr.. Crosland in editorial fashion
that countesses and even duchesses and
princesses can love their husbands with as
sincere love as the plainest Mrs. OF them

1T is impossible for the upper classes as
a body to indulge In any kind Of down.
right wickedness: they have no incentive to
wickedness; they are placed beyond the ne
