BOURBON PRINCES.

The Count of Faria Revisit. the United Slate, with Hia Son. “I am glad—l am delighted—to step once more upon American soil,” were the first words spoken by the Count

of Paris, as he stepped from the gang-plank of an Atlantic steamer in New York recently. The royal traveler was accompanied by his son, the Duke of Orleans, the Prince of ’Joinville, and several other distinguished

rovalist leaders. during the civil American interest war. in the Comte de Paris is based mainly upon the fact that he and his brother, the Due de Chartres, participated in the war for the Union as officers on the

staff of General George B. McClellan. Their coming at that time reminded the people of this country of the gen-

erous and distinguished services of Lafayette in the war of the revolution, and the young French princes received a hearty 1 welcome. The attitude of Napoleon 111., then in the heydey of his pow-

er, was most un- dug d’ Orleans. friendly to the cause of the Union, and Americans accepted, perhaps too readily, these scions of the house of Orleans as representing the better sentiment of France. The Comte de Paris was then but 21 years of age, and he was anxious to show the French people that the young man who aspired to be their king was made of sterner stuff than the later Bourbon kings had shown themselves to possess. In 1886 the Count of Paris and all other pretenders to the throne of

France, and all descend an ts of former reigning families were expelled from France by the enactment of a special law and prohibited from setting foot on French territory. That law has since been abrogated in the case of the Comte’s uncle, the Duo d’Aumale, in eon-

sideration of former good service in the army and his splendid contributions to the cause of science. ThewellestablLhed connection of the Prince and his followers in France with the Boulangist plots has destroyed all hope of its revocation in regard to any other member of the Orleans family in the lifetime of this generation.

MARQUISE LANZA.

A Fair American Woman Making a Name in Literature. Marquise Clara Lanza, daughter of the famous Dr. William A. Hammond, has found time, in the midst of her social duties, to write several books that have a large sale, and now she has been turning her attention toward dramatization. Her first attempt in this direction is with her novel, “The Righteous Apostate,’"which makes a really powerful play. The leading character is two women—played by one—who must be alternately angel and devil. They look so much alike that the angel’s lover vault tell her from the “real devilish” one for a long time, and there bangs the play. Mrs. Langtry wanted to buy it outright, following her usual motto, “All or nothing,” but madarne la marquise, who is an uncommonly shrewd business woman, for all she is so pink and white, with curls of baby gold hair,,js resolved not to part entirely and irrevo-

cably with the first dramatic offspring of her prolific brain. It is dMarquise Lanza’s practice to lock hetself up in her study from 10 to 1 o'clock every day. devo'ing herself during that time strictly to work. Her latest book, . “Basil' Morton’s Trans-gie-sion,” has been classed by the critics w’ith the erotic romances of the day, but in spite of them it has made a marked success. Parisian Anglomaniacs send their linen to London to be washed.
