NOW EIGHTY-FOUR YEARS OLD Ex-Empress Eugenie Says Her Past Seems Centuries Ago. Paris, Feb. 28—"I have lived; I have been; I do not ask more. I ask not to be remembered. “I am the past. I am the distant horizon where exists a mirage, a shadow, a phantom, a living sorrow.” So spoke with the infinite grief that possesses her the Empress Eugenie to an Italian journalist at her Villa Cyrnes, Cape Martin, on the Riviera. She was the lovely empress of the French, whose husband died in exile at Chiselhurst, Eng.; whose son, the prince imperial, was killed by Zulu assegais, permitted herself to be in- terviewed, this journalist says. Bighty-four years of age, the once countess broke the reserve which she has nourished and maintained for well nigh forty years. “Between my past and my present,” said the woman who reigned with Napoleon III., “there exists not half a century, but ten centuries. Men have changed, times have changed. Men no longer pursue herolc ideals,” she added, sighing, as if regretting the gal- lantry of the second empire.
