to her unwonted hour Of solitude. She
had loved her youngest daughter even
more devotedly and fondly than she
had her other two children, but she
was not grieving over her departure
now. Instead she was reveling in the
first taste Of freedom she had known
In years. for her children-the prac-
teal Walter, the domineering Julia and
the spoiled Dolly-had each and all in
turn and en- concerto ruled each move
ment, great or small, of her life.
When five years ago her husband
had been the hero Of a little adventure
that had shocked a shocking world and
her fond. foolish heart would have for
given him AS he desired, Walter had
taken the affair into his hands, ably
seconded by his sister Julia, and before
the Frustrated, bewildered wife had
fully grasped the situation she had

A Samson Pawned the GuiIIotine.

The SanSons have n place in French
history, not only because they contin-
ued so long to hold their odious office,
but because two of their number, a
father and son. held office during the
evil days OF the reign Of terror, when
they were kept SO busily engaged with
their guillotine. The last Of the San
son dynasty was dismissed from his
post in the reign Of Louis Philippe, in
1S4T, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited a cOmfOrta-
BILE fortune from his father, the exc
cutioner of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties and was guilty Of
pawning his guillotine, surely the most
lugubrious pledge ever taken by NOR
tai pawubroker. An order CaGpe from
the procurator general for the execu-
ton OF criminal. and the necessary
apparatus was not forthcoming The
prison authorities had perforce to get

The Stuart Kings.

The family name of the Stuarts was
originally, as Mr.. Bayley observes
Fttzalan. The original Walter Fitz-
alan, brother Of the ancestor OF the
dukes Of Norfolk. was lord high stew
ard Of Scotland, and from this cir
cumstance his branch Of the family
appears to have adopted the name OF
Stewart When the change began ia
not certain. but II was probably not
later than the time Of Alexander, the
eat-grandson Of Walter Fitzalan. for
both his sons-James, the grandfather
Of Robert II. and all the Scottish Stew
art kings, and John, the ancestor OF
Lord Darnley-appear TO have borne
the name Of Stewart. = Notes and
