" ' 1 History In Brief of the Late Count Paris HU Services as a Volun teer In the United States Army. Ww Louis Philippe Albert, Com te de Paris, whose death occurred recently, writes Pierre Cominges in Golden Days, claimed to be the king of France. He was, however, never on the throne and never acknowledged king in France. The monarchical governments of Eu rope, as a rule, professed to believe that he really was king1, hut, of course, to .preserve their friendly relations with the republic, they were forced to recofrnize the president as the chief ex ecutive of that country. Nevertheless, 'Louis Philippe was re garded as a king by quite a strong par ty, who will now turn to his son, Louis Philippe Robert, a young man of twenty-five, who is very much in earnest in his pretensions to the throne of France. Comte de Paris was born in Paris on August 24, 1838, and became, by the death of his father in 1842, the imme diate heir to the crown his grandfather, Louis Philippe, had picked up when Charles X. dropped it in his flight from Paris, after the "Three Glorious Days" of July, 1830. When he was ten years of age Comte de Paris was, with his grandfather, King Louis Philippe, driven from France by the revolution of 1848. Though too young to remember hia father's death, Comte de Paris doubt less always remembered the scene when his brave mother took him and his brother to the chamber of deputies, only to escape therefrom at the peril of their lives. After many dangers, the fugitives succeeded in crossing the frontier, and went to live at a country house belonging to the grand duke of Saxe-Weimar. The exiled king and queen reached England, and there the ex-king died in 1850. Ever afterwards Comte de Paris has occupied the position of pretender to the French throne. CHc has lived a very quiet life, en livened by very slight conspiracies, none of which involved any very dan gerous schemes, and as a result he has been very little before the public eye The only time, indeed, when he came very prominently before the world was in 18G1, when, accompanied by his brother. Due de Chartres, and his uncle, Prince de Joinville, he came to America and offered his serrices as a volunteer to aid in the preservation of the union. Gen. McClellan, then com mander of the army of the Potomac, made him and his brother officers on his staff, with the rank of captain. John Jacob As tor, whose name will always be a jyncn3-m for millionaire in the United States, was also on the staff of the general. Both the distinguished foreigners were obedient, well-behaved and thoroughly acquainted with the duty cf their petitions. Comte de Paris was repeatedly intrusted by Gen. McClellan with important and dangerous commissions, which he ful filled with credit and ability. For more than a year, the comte partici pated in the varying fortunes of the army of the Potomac, accepting no pay for his services. France began shortly after this to in terfere in Mexican affairs, and there arose a coolness between this country and the comte's, which led . to the co.iite's resignation, lest .he might be called upon to fight his own people. He thi refore resigned his commission, in spite of Gen.' McClellan's efforts to re tain his services. The overthrow of Napoleon III. and the downfall of the second empire at last enabled the comte to return to France.' The third republic, very soon after it was established, fell into the hands of a coalition of royalists, who permitted the Orleans princes to return to their native land and restored them their estates, which had been confis cated by Napoleon III., with forty mil lion francs as an indemnity for the deprivation of their revenues. The comte received his share, and also his ancestral estate. ' 1 For awhile it seemed very probable Chat the monarchy would be restored; but, as the partisans of the other claimants refused to help them, the French people at last got tired and be came for the most part good republic ans. In 1873, when it was too late, to do any good, all the claimants to the French throne, except the Bonapartists, (cognized the comte as de jure king of France. A royalist demonstration in 1886 led to the exile of the comte and all mem bers of his family. He took up his residence in England, and from that country issued mani festoes declaring that the men who were ruling France had lost the confi dence of the people, and the only sal vation of the nation was to restore the monarchical form of government. The new head of the French royal house Louis Phillippe Robert is quick, intelligent, active, energetic, passionately fond of movement, and uncompromising in the expression of his thoughts and feelings. In dispo sition and temperament he is singu larly unlike his father, who was one of the best informed men living, a deep thinker and a scholar. What influence the new pretender will exert on the destinies of France cannot be guessed, but the probabil ities are that, like his father, he will live and die a mere pretender a king without a throne or a crown. . RISE OF SHORTHAND. An Ancient Art That Has Been Greatly Improved. Bon It Has Come Down to Vu Throujrb. tbc Centuries More Used In Europe Than In tbe United States. The student of shorthand to-day has rl..ri im nfivento over those who went before him in a period prior to 1837, when Isaac itman, then an unknown teacher, made euch improvements upon the systems then in use that he is called the father of modern shorthand. Charles Dickens and his father, when they began the study of stenography, about the year 1824, adopted the best method then in existence, but they were compelled to learn the use of more than 100 signs and symbols, many of which were arbitrary. Samuel Pepys, author of the ''Diary," wrote his inimitable work in a system of shorthand known as Shelton's, which demanded the use of nearly 300 signs and symbols. What appears strange in this matter is that the people of the United States should be", as they are, far behind Eng land, Germany and France in general, practical knowledge of this important work. Americans are so active, ener getic and inventive, seeking to over come time and distance in all that they do, easily leading the world in the mat ter .of labor-saving machinery, that it would seem that the eebnomic value of shorthand would have. been recognized at once. Such, however, has not been the case, knowledge of it being restrict ed chiefly to those who follow it as a livelihood, while in other countries named it is pur&ued as a study by those who expect jto follow professional life, because they realize how valuable it may be to them in their several pur suits. The old Greek and Romans were wiser in their day and generation, be cause their students of all classes and stations carefully mastered the systems then in use, employing them generally in correspondence, recording' of minutes of various assemblies, etc Such of the speeches of Demosthenes and Cicero as were not read from manuscript were taken down in this manner, and after ward "longhanded." Those Greek and Roman systems were the only ones known to Europe until the tenth century of the Christian era, one or other being adopted indifferent ly by the various countries until the di vision of the Catholic church. While it is commonly said the art became lost for a century or more, and was then re vived in an improved form, this is alto gether erroneous. It was simply that both systems failed to meet tie re quirements of the literature of that age, which was chiefly religious and largely confined to the dwellers in monasteries. The common sense monks gradually changed it to meet existing conditions, adding a number of sign3 and symbols as substitutes for words of a purely ecclesiastical nature. Thus the monk of the eleventh century really set the foundation for the present apparently perfectsystem of sign writing by sound. Shorthand is o'e of the arts that has never been lost. It lived in one form or another, and always, with the cen turies, in an improved and improving condition, because there have lived in every age those who appreciate its economic value. It is believed that it was practiced in Phenicia before At tica existed as a people, and possibly llso at Babylon. One finds no traces of it n China or Japan, primarily because the first named country has always, and :he second until recently, opposed all manner of labor and time-saving' de rices. Besides, theirs is a kind of char acter writing, to which there might be difficulty in applying a practical short hand method. The present history of shorthand hows conclusively that it is in more reneral use in Europe than in the United States, the older countries having1 tried md proved its merits some time before it was fairly introduced upon this side -f the ocean. Their judgment in this matter being ripe and their experience established, a following of their exam-' pie could be accotmplised only with good results. The civilization of Europe, and especially of those three countries in which shorthand is in greatest use, does not differ so much from that of the United States that what is of practical and general benefit there would be less eo here. It is due this country, however, to say that none of these can offer a sys tem or method that shows any improve ment, upon the whole, of the best that are taught and practiced in the United States. Indeed, methods of teaching here are more direct and to the point. Take two persons of equal intelligence and with equal educational advantages, the one in England and the other in the United States, each under instruc tion, and the American should be first to attain a thoroughly practical knowl edge of the art.
