Relic of Marie Antoinette.
NJ. Georges Cain, who has written so
many interesting books about the history
of Paris, has identified a relic of Marie
Antoinette which tells a pathetic tale
and contains probably the last word writ
ten by her before her execution. 1t is
her private prayer book. and entitled of
fee de la Divine Providence usage de
la Maison Royale de Saint Louis, Saint
Cyr, ct de tous les F'ideles" 1t was print
ed in Paris by Prault in 1857, in II no.
and is bound in colored morocco, with
Delorme lace ornaments on each cover
and cross in the center. This book has
been the property of the museum of
Chalons for a considerable time, and no.
body till now took the trouble of eXamin-
ing it's value. The prayer book bears
evidence of many mutilations during the
revolutionary period. The fieur de lys on
the binding has been clumSily scratched
out, and certain ornaments have been de-
faced. On the back of page 2l9 the queen
wrote in her own hand what may be
translated as follows:
This day. Oct. 16, at 1:30 in the
morning. My God, have pity on me. My
eyes no longer have any tears to weep
for you. my poor children. Adieu Adieu
Marie Antoinette." The date had been
written as October Is. at first. and was
corrected. by the queens own hand, to
October 16
1t is curious that the only other docu-
ment, the letter written to Nine Elisa
beth on the same morning, contains the
same initial mistake of the date, and the
figure 10 is corrected by that of 16 in
similar way. In this letter to her sister,
