LETTERS OFTEN INDIScREET.
Lord PaImerston's Fall an Instance
of the Way They May Wreck
aCareer.

Letter writing has long been consid
cred an art. but there are often times
when the writer's of certain epistles
wish that they had been a little more
discreet before posting the same. A
great many lives have been ruined and
careers wrecked all because Of one in
discreet letter, which 1t would have
been better not to write.
notable case of this kind is the
letter which Lord Palmerston, in 1851.
when he was minister of foreign af
fairs for Great Britain. wrote to the
prince-president of France, Louis Ma
poleon. 1t was when Louis executed
his famous coup d'etat. Regiments Of
Infantry, probably at his direction
swept the boulevards with rifle balls.
The streets OF Paris ran with blood
and out Of the crimson mist rose Louis
Napoleon, no longer prince-president,
but rather president for life, and soon
afterward emperor Of France.
All Europe was Mortified at this
bloody leap to power, and no one more
80 than the queen of England. Lord
Palmerston, however, admired the new
emperor. without consulting his Off
cial chief and much less the queen,
Palmerston wrote a letter to the Brit.
ish ambassador in Paris expressing
his approval OF the coup d'etat When
the queen heard Of this unauthorized
action she was deeply indignant. She
sent for the prime minister, and he
soon afterward oficially notified Lord
PalmerBton of his dismissal In the fol.
lowing words:
No other course is open to me than
to ask her majesty to appoint a sue,
cessor to you in the foreign office"
All this on account Of a letter. / ord
Palmerston was one Of the foremost
men In the kingdom. But this one act
OF indiscretion was the end of his
famous career. .....
