" La Mort Du Prince Imperial."

" LA MORT DU PRINCE IMPERIAL . "

NOW , how do our readers think the death of the Prince Imperial occurred in Zulnland p Most of us think we know bow he fell . The story is sad and pitiful ; it is full of pain , sorrow , and shame for us . Pshaw ! There is not a word of truth in the generally received version . The Prince Imperial was murdered by the Freemasons You may laugh . Bub Adrien Papilland baa written a book under tbe title of " Crimes Maconniqaes" —one of which was , it seems , the murder of the poor Prince—prefaced by a letter from Baron Tristran

Lambert , in which that gentleman , formerly Napoleonist , then Legitimist , now Orleanist , pronounces a touching eulogy on the young Prince , and , in answer to the question " Why did he go to Zulnland ? " gives bis reasons for that unhappy resolution . " They were multiple , " says the Baron . " There were , first , his personal characteristics—hia patriotism , which led him to seek ' la gloire incontestable d ' une action Jteroigua' for tbe sake of bis country—and , finally , tbe influence of his military tastes and education in England , Do not believe tbe lies

which attributed bis sudden resolve to domestic causes—never were

more devoted and affectionate mother and son . " So far , Baron Tristran Lambert . Poor gentleman ! How little he knows the facts of the case ! The Prince was , as we shall see , really entrapped by a strange combination of agencies to go out to Africa . There his death waa cunningly devised beforehand by the Freemasons , who , it appears , according to M . Adrien , worship the Devil , pray to Lucifer ,

and abuse God or Adonai . The " Chevalier Kadoach " is a very far advanced Mason who is bound to obey tho White Masonry . This White Masonry is neither more nor less than " the revolution in permanent action with a view to tho establishment of Dovil worship , Masonic law , and Masonic socialism . " Tho Prince Imperial was known to bo an enemy to Freemasonry . " When he was fifteen , he

told Baron Lambert he would never encourage it under any form . " Freemasonry disposed of him as it did of the Dao de Berry , of Count Rossi , Prim , and ultimately of Gambetta ! Gambetta was in dread of the Napoleonic legend and of the Prince Imperial , its representative . When he came to power , Gambetta was the Grand Master of the Freemasons of France . If he could secure the friendship of the

Prince of Wales he could command the Masons of England . But why should the Prince of Wales hurt the Prince Imperial ? There was a reason . The young Prince fell in love with the Princess Beatrice , and , after a short visit to " Oxborue , " his love was returned . AH the Koyal Family , except the Prince of Wales , approved of the projected alliance . Thus there was something of a common interest .

The Masons of France promised to pub Gambetta en rapport with the Prince of Wales . They did so . In 1879 the Prince arrived in Paris j ho invited Gambetta to dinner at the Hotel Bristol . What passed there ? No one knows . But any way—by an unfortunate chance , no doubt—a few days after that dinner the Prince of Wales made the Prince Imperial , whose death Gambetta had sworn , sot out for the

depths of Africa ! How this was managed is not very clear , it is only suggested . Papillon flies from one fact to another in a distracting fashion 5 but it seems that the business was done by indirect agency . The clubs the Prince Imperial affected were " the Army Clnb " and "the Bag . " Soon after the Gambetta dinner , " Lord L n , a member of one of the first families in the United Kingdom , a great friend of the Prince

of Wales , and very hard up , " just back from Paris , entered the " Bag . " He told the Prince , whom he mot there , " that I'rance was waiting for him , and that if lie could perform some action militaire , no matter how small , he would be acclaimed almost unanimousl y before the year was out as Napoleon IV . " And then said Lord L n , "You have received your military education in ¦ hng land

—you are the guest of England—why not fight for her ?" You . open my eyes , " exclaimed tbe Prince . " Thanks , my Lord ' . 1 will go off to announce to my mother my unalterable resolution . " Uespite the Empress-Mother and M . Ronher , thus instigated he set out for Africa . Ho went out alone . Lord L n advised him to do so . M . Papillon , not knowing the great difficulty the Prince had m obtaining leave for himself to _ o . snm > nsfiH hia Tmnnrial HiVhnpcn

could have had as many friends as he liked with him . But before he loit England he wrote the letter which was his legacy to France . As soon as that letter was received in Paris , the Vcnerables of the i-reornason Lodges assembled , under the presidency of Gambetta ,

" La Mort Du Prince Imperial."

and " decided on sending out five delegates " ( Chevaliers Kadosob , we presume ) " to Africa " ! One was to stop at Cape Town , to send the news of the Prince's death , which was to be effected by poison on the way out ; but , though he was ill , he landed safe and sound . Hia two horses , however , were buried at sea . The Prince had an attack of fovcron his way in the " Danube ; " he had another at Durban . Curious ! li The Radical papers in the pay of Gambetta and the Freemasons were the first to hoar tho news of his illness !"

Among his comrades in Africa was a Lieutenant Carey , who organised a subscription for the French sick and wounded in tho War of 1870-71 . Carey had thns entered into relations with Gambetta , who proposed his name for the Legion of Honour . When Gambetta had need of an English officer to aid him in his culpable projects he thought of Carey , who , though lately married ,

set out for the Cape at the same time as the Prince . Carey was _ Freemason ! The Prince arrived at Headquarters . Always attended by Carey , bo was allowed to ride out on reconnaissances . It was perhaps natural that tho Prince , who was giving great uneasiness to Lord Chelmsford by his desire for adventure , should have au officer of the Quartermaster-General ' s staff attached to him ?

Caroy was with the Prince on excursions on 16 th and 18 th of May . On the latter day he was with a party of twenty horsemen under Colonel Harrison . When night came on they found themselves at tbe foot of a mountain , on which the Zulus' camp-fires were blazing . " They were not attacked . Why ? A mystery no one can pierce !" Carey , who a little later managed the business so that tbe Princa

was disposed of " by arrangement" with Zulus and Freemasons , was surprised at the escape on that occasion . Carey , who had already " sharpened the Prince's appetite for adventures , " had on these two occasions ( 16 th and 18 th ) " dragged him into the midst of the greatest dangers . " M . Adrien admits that the Prince bad solicited employment on both of them , but doubtless he was urged to

do so by Masonic advisers . ' Of the causes of the catastrophe of 1 st June there can be no doubt . It was a deliberately planned assassination ! Lord Chelmsford did not engage in the affair , but he is to be reproached for his miserable inaction . ( There is some justice in this remark ) . Lord Chelmsford had under his orders regiments of cavalry . It was a . moonlight night ,

as clear as day . It was , however , Lord Chelmsford a interest that the body should nob be found , for tbe unspeakable shame of the discovery to the English Army would have been avoided . Left out all night , the birds of prey and the wild beasts would have disposed of it ! He gave six volunteers as escort to the Prince . General Marshall set out at 9 o ' clock next morning

with all the cavalry , the volunteers , Cafres , and a troop of Bassutos They came first to the body of a volunteer , so disfigured as to be unrecognisable . The dead Prince , on tbe contrary , though stripped , had , beyond his wounds and an incision in the belly , no injuries Why ? Because " Carey had ordered the Zulus not to cut too deeply his delicate limbs ! " Gambetta must be satisfied of his death .

Carey took care that he himself should not be killed . Carey arranged the party—this in the midst of a surprise and a sauve qui pent for the horses— -so that there should be on the right two volunteers , who were destined to be slain in order that there might be an appearance of reality in the ambuscade . On tbe left were the men whom Carey had prepared beforehand and who knew what was coming . When the

Zulus fired on the party Carey was not wounded—of course not . The two volunteers on the right of the Prince fell mortally wounded , but tho Prince was not touched . How provoking ! It had been arranged by Carey that the Prince should be killed by a bullet ! He ran to his horse ; he seized the holster-strap to mount—it broke in his hand But the groom declared the strap was quite sound that morning ! Is

it not evident it had been tampered with ? Some one , divining that the Prince would try to mount his horse by the aid of the holsterstrap , if ho was not hit by the authorised bullet , had out it ! And then , again , the chain and medallion placed under the head of the dead man ? " Comment les Zoulous , si amateurs de verroterie , auraient-ils laisso la ces deux objets ? They did so " by order , " to

aid the party in establishing the Prince ' s identity ! There we leave M . Papillon . Well aware though wo are that no French gentleman or soldier could pay any attention to the infamous charges of the contemptible person who has given it to the world , we have thought it right to give some account of this scandalous production . We venture to say that , from the august lady who reigns over this great

Empire to the lowest of her subjects , there was in these islands but one feeling of pity for the death of the Prince Imperial . We believe that his untimely end aroused far mora sympathy and sorrow in England than it did in France . That Lieutenant Carey was an Eng . lishman was regarded as little less than a national dishonour . Ho was culpable enough , and he paid tbe penalty—not sufficient , wo

admit—for a moment of weakness in a common danger . No one has ever attempted to vindicate his flight . Bub to describe him as a deliberate assassin is worthy of a writer who accuses M . Gambetta aud the Prince of Wales as his accomplices in assassination , and who seeks to cast suspicion on the honour of our Army and of its officers . —Army and Navy Qazelte .

A correspondent sends us tho following extract : — The death is announced , after a short illness , of Mr . Fin lay Finlayson , editor of the Swiss und Nice Times , and formerly of tho JVeiw York World and other American papers . Mr . Finlayson , for some time before uis doath , was far from well , and accepted tho

editorship of the Nice Times chiefly because he thought a residence in the mild climate of the Riviera would reinvigorate his enfeebled system . He was the author of a " History of Freemasonry , " and nob long since wrote the libretto for an opera , to which Mr . F . Cowon is Belting music .
