In 1872, hold Count de’Chambord had gone to a sor t 0 j Mnr t at Antwerp, and was gen¬ 8ra ll y thought to be on the eve of getting restored to the French throne, M. Thiers sent spies to watch his movements.

The spy, of course, pricked U p bis ears, and soon he must have been convinced bie that he was discovering most va ] ua secrets. The young menre i a fed marvelous stories about the Prince's pj-mg, the number of adherents he was gathering in France, and spoke of a grand coup d’etat which waa being prepared for him. by a number of statesmen and Qenerals who hoped to take the country by surprise. In great excitement the 8 py flashed the news to Versailles, and M. Thiers, who had no wish to seethe Count de Chambord restored, communi cated them to his private organ, Le B>ai public. That credulous newspaper be came remarkable during the next few days for publishing the most extraordui ary news from Antwerp. Every day the spy had something new to relate out of what he picked up at his cn/c, till at length one of his hoaxers having let fall a letter as if by accident, the spy dis covered (as he fancied) an elaborate plot for kidnapping M. Thiers. The letter stated, in effect, that the Count do Chatn boru, having resolved to seize upon the throne, was going to have M. Thiers ap prehended in the middle of the night by a certain General, whose name was men tioned, ami that meanwhile another Gm eral would arrest M. Ganibetfa. M.
