A KINGS DOWNFALL.

Louis Philippe's Lack Of Nerve When
the Crisis Came.
Baroness Bonde wrote in her diary
the following account Of the abdica-
ton of Louis Philippe of France on the
day Of that remarkable occurrence:
IAN aid.de-camD Of the minister Of
war who was In the kings cabinet
when he abdicated gave me detailed
account Of this most signal piece OF
cowardice. He had reviewed the
troops in the carrousel on horseback,
highly rouged, when cry was raised,
'voici les Faubourgs!' No one had
any orders: no one gave any. The mob
rushed forward. shouting, 'Vive la
garde nationales-vivent les troupes!
and shook hands with the outposts.
The king retreated precipitately with
his sons, and subAeutenant Of the
national guard rushed into the palace
asking to see him. He was admitted
and in the greatest agitation said.
Your majesty must abdicate.' Very
WELL says the king. In favor of my
grandson No. Internationally says
the young and self elected mouthpiece
OF pubic opinion.
"Would you believe 1t? OF all who
were congregated round the royal per-
son Piscatory alone said: Go down
and head your troops. Fight for your
crown and your dynasty He was
overruled. and they all marched out
Of the palace except the Duchesse
d'Orleans, her children and the DUO de
NemOurs,"
