Excellency, IN the seclusion OF a small
private chamber adjoining the sale du

his desk on which were strewn papers

"Yersailles-a mob! Sugar-plums to
placate them! Sugar-plums!" he re-
peated: and, impatiently turning away,
walked TO the window. There for
some time he stood peering out, when,
the current of his thoughts slowly
changing, he took from his pocket a
watch. and examined the jeweled
face. Time they were back" About
