After all. the present duko deBcrves

after his father's death, was far from

great French reformatory of Mettray.

It may b,> doubted whether there is
I In the Dragoon regiment which young
Augusta d0 Morny has Just Joined, any
o?i .?? or trooper who Is possessed it
.i more extraordinary lineage than him?
self Through Iiis mother he is a
grandson of obi Guzman Blanco, the
Venezuelan Dictator, and through hin
Russian grandmother lie Is. according
to common report in Russia, a great-j
grandson of Czar Nicholas 1.
Tlie first Duchesae do Morny was by
birth a I'rlncesr, Sophlo Troubetzkey. i
Her mother. Catherine Pushkin, daugh?
ter of Russia's most famous poet, wits
unhappily nie.rrie? to Prince .Sergius
Troubetzkey. The prlncetss, a very
pretty woman, was tho object of sucn
undisguised admiration on the part of
Nicholas I., that when her little girl,
Sophie, was born, her paternity was
ascribed to the Cznr, a report to which
color was lent later on. when on So?
phie's marriage to the late Due do
Morny, she received a dowry of a mil -
I lion rubles from Emperor Alexander II.,
supposedly h.r half-brother. Sergius
Troubetzkey at any rale was convln cd
of the truth of the 3tory, and he deter?
mined to bid,-* Iiis time and to ?et
ev< n with Nicholas, In a manner cal?
culated tO humiliate him.
Not long afterwards Nicholas became
I Infatuated by the beauty of a Mine.
Lavlnla Jadlmlrowska, who had only
been married about a couple of year .
and who on liur arrival in St. Peters?
burg nad at once, by reason of the
wealth and rank of her elderly hus?
band, and her own cleverness and fas?
cination, taken up a very conspicuous
placo In the Great World of the Rus?
sian metropolis. The Emperor caused
It to be Intimated to the lively Lav
inla that she had attracted his att.-u
| tlon. To his amazement and disgust
j Lavlnla declined In a very categorical
I and haughty manner the advances of
her sovereign.
^? - Accepting his defeat, he said nothing,
[ attributing the lady's attitude to vlr
I tue, which he regarded as so rare as
! to be worthy of respect, and to af
I feotlon for her husband. But his an
j ger knew no bounds when some Weeks
later Serge Troubetzkey. who hart
learned of the matter, succeeded In In?
ducing Lavlnla to elope with him.
Tills was more than Nicholas could
bear. He had the fugitive couple ar?
rested just at the moment when they
were about to cross tho frontier Into
Austria, and brought back by the police
to .st. Petersburg, where by his orders
the lady was restored to her husband,
while Selgius Trounetzkey, deprived of
his military rank and princely title,
disappeared In the direction of Siberia,
and waa never heard of again by any
of the members of his family.
The late Hue do Morny. as ofllclolly
and publicly stated in the Almanuch do
Gotha, waa a natural son of Queen
Hartonse Buonaparte, (daughtot ol
Empress Josephine) and of her Chutn
berlaine. Count Charles do FlauhaUlt.
In fa.-t there was no concealment about
the matter, since Napoleon III., recog?
nized the duke as his half-brother;
whllo the latter hod his oscutchoon
adorned with a Hortensia, In order to
Indicate that ho was the offspring of
j Queen Ilortenso.
As for the Comte do Flauhault, his
1 mother was an Illegitimate daughter
i of Louis XV. while the real father of
! tho Comte de Flauhault was not his
! mother's husband, but the then Abb.-'
Talleyrand, afterwards Prince of that,
flki and so famous as a statesman,

tion several times tills week, several
iinmenso cannon balls having struck
Hie earth near thnt village. Thoio
balls were tired from the big guns at
Indian Head, on the Mai s land side of
tho Potomac ltiver, a few miles away,
which Is tho proving grounds of the
I'ni ted States Navy. Tho big balls
have been fired from the heavy guns
at a steel target near Stump Neck, In
the Potomac River, and it Is presumed
that some of these balls glanced tiff
and went to the Virginia shore. The
whistling caused by tho ball as It
wont whizzing through the air sound?
ed like an approaching tornado un?l
alarmed the people and scared the
llvo atock. Ono ball, which fell at
Quantlco on Tuesday, was llrCd from
a twenty-Inch gun. ft was eighteen
inches in diameter, five feet long and
weighed 1,400 pounds, It tore up tho
earth where It struck for a space ot
eight to ten feet, and went so deep in
the ground that It hns not been locat?
ed, yesterday another sh.n struck
close to Quantlco. It struck the hill
side, skipping several hundred yards,
but did not go Into th" ground. It h
been examined by a number of people.
The balls are of steel. Compl/ilut has
been made to the United Stutes gov?
ernment, and unless ' thfl firing In
Stopped, tho residents of Quantlco fear
tliot people will he killed and some of
their houses demolished.
