It is barely remembered by many that the estate of Eiigimie was greatly cur- tailerl by her voluntary act about fifteen years a<fo. In 1882 the munii-ipality of Marseilles set up a claim in court to the imperial residence at Point Pharo, near the city. This estate, valued at »1,'),()00,OI)0, had Ijeen given to l.ouis Na- poleon by the citjr while he waa Emper- or, presumably with the not wholly un- selfish purtMise of attracting to I he merchaats the advantages of a near-by court. Th« gift was unsolicited, anil the same little Princess. Verily, to 1 was eveji accompmied by an urgent re be Eiven quest that the Emiieror would gracious him or her that hath, shall be given. A strong bond of affection joins the widow of Louis Napoleon to her name- aake, the granddaughter of her friend, Victoria. The latter's kindness to the exiled Ejupress is of forty gears' stand- ing. It dates from the imperial visit to England in 1857. Eugenie was then in the glow of her beautj;. When Napoleon brought her to \\ indsor tiie Queen and Prince Albert were en- ra,ptured with her grace and beauty. Victoria forgot that this newly made Empress was the granddaughter ofooe of her forbear's own subjects, and that the Elnperur had only lately dwelt in >|><werty in Ix»d<» itself. The good- natured Loui<3 pointed out to her Sla- Jeety from the royal carriage the gar- ret in which he had starved while waiting for lus siiip to cocoa in, and th» Queen laughed with him at the change. "How wonderfiil," she wrote in her i Emiieror would gracious- ly be pleased to accept it. Twelve years after the thrifty Mar- seillaises repented of a gift which could no longer react in their favor, and sued the widowed Empress to regain possession. Their petition was in marked contrast to the sycophantic deed of gift. "We hlive summoned," said the Coun- cil, "the IDame Marie Eugenie de Gus- man, Countesie of Teba, widow of the Sieur Chaj-les Louis Napoleon »Bona- purte, without pn>feaBion, domiciled and living in Chine 1 hurst. The comiMBition of formal dc»u- ments affonied to the French lawyer great facUitiea for addre,asing gratui- tous insults to the widow under guise of descriptive words. None of these facilities was overlooked. On the iMjn- trary, much ingenuity vraa displayed in making the document as offensive as puHsible, journal that ni«ht,.:'that he should .be spi^il: Vge^^eTn^ht V^a^^'lo"": with us now as Emperor." As for Einfcnie she could find no word.s to de- scribe her bea.uty and grace. Beatri<», best beloved of Victoria's end and won it. The petition was thrown out of court and the great pro- perty remained in the rightful posses- uKxxLruxs, ixtn. ueioveu oi vicioriaa «;„„ nf ii<,<».an: , it ,. „â-  ViT .it ,u daughters,, iniierited her mother's love Si,rls cL^,;^ne Jf Th^ m«" grtef^" for Eugenie. an<l when the little Princ ese was born named her after the sad- faced woman at ChiseJihurst. Only a few weeks ago Princess Beatrice made an extended visit to the exile, who seemed greatly to enjoy her guest's so- ciety. Of recent years Eugenie has shown appreciation of so few earthly pleasures that the circumstances was noted as significuint. L'ndoubte^lly this bond between the three royal widows has bridged over many differences of tem- perameht, education and feeling. It tas certainly resulted happily 'for the lit tie Princess. How much has the widow of Louis Nat>oleon to bex^ueath? Much more, probably, than she h.id at the death of Ler hu^liujid. When by the aid of the acts of her life. She gave the wirk and nmnsion of Pharo to the people in perpetuity in a spirit which is best de- scribed in bej o\vn words : "In defemding my rights l)efore the tribunals I was chiefly actuai;d by re- spect for the French magistracy, for to suppose my cause lost beforclund would have been to assume that pss- sion or iJersoual interest coul<l in- fluence the decrees of our country's justice.

He said that few colonies of (he British Kmpire had made more remarkable progress and de- velopment within the iu»i quarter of thecratury than the Dominion of Can- ada, and the construction of the Cana- dian Pacific riii'way, to which the pre- sident had referred, had intensified am- ong other people, noL only the feeling of unity as far as th»'y were personaJly concerned, but of attachment to the Mother Country. He had the honour of journeying over that grejit railway in company with the pre>«ent Lord M.:iyor of Liverpool a year or two ago, and the reception accorded to the Lord Mayor was such as even the Prince of WaJea might have fell proud to receive. No man, probably hod done more to pro- mote Hritisih interests, British feeling, Briiish unity, and the feeiing of at- tachment to the Uriticih Empire than the presejit Lord Derby when he pre- sided over tJie dcBlinies of the Domini- on of Canada.

This fortune hod not grown leas. It is a saying; that Eugenie has learned frran her friend Victoria habits of t hrift, but a juster view ia t hat re- vealed in the memoirs of MM. de Lano an' I d'Herrison. that the Empress was always fond of money. It was a proverb thirty years ago that the Fri'iich ilmrress w.i« the most ex- travagiuit woman in Europe. Indeed, •he dul spend f.al)uJoits sums upon her dress, her jewels and her laces. But even so partial a historian as M. de Lanodeclared that under this lavishness lay a strain of caution or even parsim- ony. Her intimates said she was with- »I a "stingy Empress." She checked ui> all her o\vn iJressiuakcrs' bills and laid strict injuclion of economy upon the ladies of her court. Perh.ips it was the tx-otlish strain in her bloixl, Eugenie's son, the unhappy Prince Im- perial, made his will before starting to his death in Zululand, The document Is eoLtant.

And they were only tokens to l>e subtracted from the magnificent total left to his mother. < There was even something of irony in the poor young iliair.s making a will at all, since, if many obar<rvi>rs are to be believed, the old lady led bira a hard lUe in his last years, watching ex- penditures as if be were a schoixllx)y, opening hi.s letters and ruling him with a rml of iron. It w-is even said that he fled to the waa" to escape from her loving tyranny. Chiselhiirst was sold five years ago. The Empress is living now at Farn- borough, an e.xtcnsive domain in Hamp- shire, quite splendid enough for a royal heiress.
