It is reported that one of the reasons which prompted the Marquis of Eslisbury, fo go to the Riviera after leaving London was the derive of the Queen that her daughters, the Princess. Christian Beatrice and Princess Louise, should be made Duchonses in theif qwe' right. It is added that Her Majesty was also desirous of conferring a dukedom upon the Premier, which honon ho declined a fow years ago.

BELGIUM'S QUEEN WEARY OF LIFE,
Rome, 29th March.
It is now known that the malady which prevented the unhappy Queen of the Belgians frota being present at the wedding of her niece is the result of an attempt to commit suicida Last satuma at Spa. It was stated at the thes that she had sustained a fracture of the jaw through e fall from her horse.
The publicity of King Leopold's intrigues with Emilienne d'Aloneca and Mlle. de Merode, both of whom he has brought from Paris and established in the most annptnous fashion at Brumele, has probably been the main case of the Queen's act. Then, too, she is distressed beyond maneure by the knowledge that her basband has squandered in his Congo enterprise the entire fortune of his demented, sister, DK- Empress Carlotta of Mexico, who inherited from her father nearly $15,000,000.
This poor Empress Carlotis is the only lady
