The ontrance to the mansions are in the Rues do Tilsit and Presbourg, and on the sides fronting toward the arch are rectangular gardens, protected by high iron railings with gilded spikes. Ono of thesomansions is the Paris home of Mrs, John W, Mackey, and two doors away, at the corner of the Rue do Tilsit and the Avenue de Friedland, is the residence of Mme. Blanche de Cassin, certainly one of the most remarkable of the Aspasias who are the peouliar product of the life of this modern Babylon. Those who drive up the avenue on their way to the Bois de Boulogue: may almost any fine allarnoon #8s the ovAl face and pale blonde hair of the old girl herself, whose monogram “C. B.,” in gilt lottors, or. nament the windows of all four floors of the house, peering out from ono of them, Now in reality this handsome mansion: although righly furnished, filled with ser, vants and crowded with art treasures, is little better than a gilded prison for its mistress, Its ealons (there are four of them en suit) are something wonderful in the way of interior decorations, very rich and gorgeous indeed, but still with some- thing about the showy colors of satins and heavy Genoa velvets of the furniture and havgings which betrays that loud taste common among women of the class to which Blanche de Cassin belongs. This fastuousness extends to all the de- tails of the establishment, which is run on a soale that none but a purse several times millionaire could stand without bankruptey. There are twenty carriage and oight saddle horses, not to speak of many vehicles, in the stables. On the walls sf the gallery and in the glass cases of the salon are pictures and rare bronzes valued at 2,000,000, among them being & Raphael that ranks among the greatest works of that greatest of masters. It was rumored the other day that Blanche de Cassin contemplated turning all these art treasures into solid cash, but those who are in a position to know de- clare that they will never pass under the auctioncer's hammer, for the old lady, anxious to hand her name down to post- erity, has made a will leaving thom all to the Louvre on the sole condition that, like the La Cuses and Theirs collections, they be placed in a room apart, to be known forever as the Salle de Cassin. I don’t know whether °the French government will, when the time comes, accept such_a bequest, but I happen to know that Blancho does not get much satisfaction out of her wealth and luxur- ious surroundings, Sheis in constant terror that thieves will break in andsteal, and to this fear is added the haunting vision of prison cells and dungeons, for this “‘vieilla garde” is firmly convinced teat she has a political past which, if known to the powers that be, would inevitably lead to her arrest as one of the most dangerous enemies of the republic. These fears are perfectly gronndless, for her share in one of the many conspiracies of the 16th of May, is quite as well known to everybody as is the rest of her notorious and vicious career. She began life as a washerwoman, and very pretty one she was, too, when one morning as she brought his washing she attracted the notice of an English earl, who took her from her ironing-board and launched her forth on the current of ‘‘le monde ou l'ons’amuse,” The noble earl, who found her a costly investment, soon broke off the liason, and went back to England a poorerif not a wiser man, Then a rich contractorof public works—it was during the days when Baron Haussmann was transforming Paris into a city of palaces—fell into her clutches, and she cleaned him out so completely that when she exchanged him for a crowned head he gladly accepted au allowance from a mistress who had cost him, all told, 12,000,000 francs. The crowned hea dthat succeeded the con- tpantar waa Napoleon IIL, and she proved ynite as compromising a mistress L uvpnew of hif uncle” as ever Marquerite Bellenger had been. During the latter part of the second empire her salon had considerable political import- ance, and as she was known to have the ear of the master the courtiers of the courtesan were perhaps as numerous ns those of the emperor, When Nuapollon 111, died Blanche went into deep mourn- ing and even made pilgrimago to Chisel- hurst, where she remained for hours on her knees before his tomb. Under the government of the 16th May Blanche de Cassin put her pretty little hands into one of the many con- spiracies formed against the third re- public. Once a week there were mysteri- ous gatherings at her house, and those who attended them—they wereall promi- nent members of the imperialist party— took all sorts of precautious to avoid af tracting notice. Gen, Fleury was always the first arrival, and it was Blanche her- self who, on these evenings, opened the door to the conspirators, for great care was taken to give all the servants a holi- day inorder to avoid eaves-dropping. The object of the conspiracy was Lodevise some way of re-establishing the empire by means of a coup d’etat similar to that which founded it on the 2d of December, 1851, and the conspirators thought they were on the high road to success when, with Blanche's assistance, they secured the neutrality, if not the complicity, of licer of high rank,occupying an official position on the staff of the marshal-presi- dent. When first approached on the subject, this offictal flatly refused to have anything to do with the plot, but Blance arranged that he should make the ac- quaintance of a pretty friend of hers, who soon got such an influence over the gal- lant colonel that he consented to do everything that she asked of him, This consyiracy, all the others, came to nothing, and when the republicans got control of matters Blanche AIne B0 frightened lest she should be called to account for her share in it that she wanted to sell out and leave the country but on those unsettled days no one felt disposed to invest in real estate, and, as her house was worth between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000, she abandoned her pro- ject. Kor a long time, however, she kept out of sight, avoiding the Bois, and theatres, and the uther public places, where women of her class are so fond of JUNE 4, 1884 ‘eonlplmy in forgotten, and ahe some- times has attacks of nervous fear that aro none the less palnful because they are purely imaginary. I am certain that the troubles in Spain must be giving her a world of anxiety, for when the French police were hunting high and low for Don Carlos after the last Carlist uprising, she gave hospitality for ono night to the Spanish pretender, 1t fs, perhaps, in Paris alone that such a strange career is possible, & carecr which,,beginning at the wash-tub and passing over the lower steps of the throne, has led to wealth, to power, and toa certain kind ot social llll]lll\‘(lfl\cl\, — SUSAN WY'S FORTUNE, T.ll"l\l'\l‘ll'lll‘(wll‘l A Girl Who Was Helr to an Estate Which She Never Got, Nrw Havey, Conn, May 81— About the year 1837 Lewis Lo Foy moved from Kingston, Jamacia, to Branford, Conn, There ho met a Miss Belden of Kingston, N, Y., and after an acquaintance of a your they were married. The only child was & daughter, whom they callod Susan, In 1841 Mr. Le Fey died, and his widow, with her child, went to Flor- ids, where sho married a man named MoArthur, Susan proved an incum- brance to her stepfather and she was sent to her aunt, Harriot Bolden, who at that timo, was a teacher in the parish schools of the Asconsion church, Now York city. Her aunt, unable to assume the wholo burden of the support of the oight-yoar-old child, put her in the Bloomingdale Orphan asylum. The Ja- maica Lo Foys wrote to the widew when they learned of the death of her husband, but she had gone away, and the neighbors did not know her address. They offered to take charge of the child, but the aunt had resigned hor rights over it to the asylum, In 1849 Grandfathor Lo Foy, a wealthy Jamacen planter, died, leaving one son, Richard, and his granddaughter, Susan Lo Foy, as his sole heirs. Richard came to New York in the fall of that year and visited his nioce in the asylum. He told her that the estate, ostimated at about $170,000, had boen left to her and him- self in equal shares; that he had been appointed her guardian in the will, pro- vided her mother and the ofticors of ' the asylum could be prevailed on to give'up th ir legal authority. He said he had written to her mother to come north and look after her daughter until he returned. He thought it would take three years to sottlo tho estate. His stay in New York was brief and his one interview with his nicoe 80 hurried that her recollection of him is poor. During that winter Susan remained in the asylum and did not hear from her uncle or mother. In the spring of 1850 her mother came from Florida and called on her daughter, She brought a letter from Richard LeFoy, saying that he hoped to settle up the estate sooner than he had said, and would then come fur her. Until that time he directed her transfer toa private school in Kingston, N. Y. The ofticors of the asylum objected, since they had bound her out toa farmer near Bing- hampton, where sha was to ba sent in the summer, They told the mother that if she could have the contract changed.the, would surrender the girl. With thi promise Mrs, McArthur went away, and sinco that time Susan Le Fay has not soen or heard from any of her relatives. At the appointed time Susan was sent to the Binghamton farmer. Here she was 8o cruelly treated that she ran away away, and finally got to Kingston, N. Y. where she hoped to find her aunt, Harriet Belden, but failed. She made other friends, however, who aided heg, and she stayed with them until she meWand ma ried L. A. Merriam. Snce then she has been unable to meet her kindred or se- cure the estate. Owing to lack of pecu- niary means she has not been able to take steps to secure her rights, Her home is at present in Branford. e — THE CASE OF LAURINE MOLLER A Puzzler for the Doctors—The Body Examined and Pronounced Dead. San Francisco Call, The case of Laurine Moller, the domes- tic who was asphyxiated with gas on Saturday night and whose remains were found on Tuesday to have such a lifelike appearance as to puzzle everybody who viewed them and to suggest to many the idea that she was not dead but in a state of trance, excited a great deal of atten- tion yestorday and many porsons visited the receiving vault in the Odd Fellow’s Cemetry and viewed the remains, which were but little changed in appearance from the preceeding day. There is cer- tainly something remarkable in the case, though further particulars of it w were loarned yos- ter day seemed to proye, not only that she is dead, but that she was so whon the remains were taken to the cemetery. When the body was given into the hands of the undertaker he placed it in one of a number of patent ico chests which he had received from the Kast, manufact- ured especially for the purpose of pro- serving dead bodies. One part of the process is to surround the abdomen and stomach with ice; and this alone being in contact with that portion of the body for nearly thirty-six hours, as it was in this case, would have been suflicient to produce death, even supposing that she was in & state of trance when received by the undertaker. The fact that she practically was frozen solid when taken to the cemetery is also offered in explani tion of the seoming perspiration which manifested itself as she lay in the receiv- ing vault. Buv her lifelike appearance even late yesterday afternoon is & puzzle even to the doctors, though some of them suggest that she might have been an ar- senic-eater, which would, they usser fully explain the phenomenon. City Physi cian Charles Blair, made an examina- tion of the body yesterday forenoon and pronounced it dead, though he confesses that the case is one of the most singular that has ever come under his observation. He says that a fllm has covered the eye which'is a practical evidence of death. That the body is now limp ke explains by saying that when death ensues a body becomes rigid, but that this rigidity is relaxed in generally from twenty-four to forty-eight hours after death, At the time Dr. Blach imparted this information & well-kuown chemist was present, and beiug appesled to said he had known a case in Yreha, some time ago, almost similar to this, saying that the woman died from natural causes, Her friends wowid not believe the verdict of doctors that she was dead, for the reason that sho had every appearance of being alive, and only aslecp or in a trar They refused to allow the remains to be interred, but kept them five days, when a very sudden change took place, and ex- tremoly quick decomposition set in THE CHEAPEST PLACE IN OMAHA TO BUY Foll el Tolefef Is AT DEWEY & STONE'S, One of the Best and largest Stocks in the United States to select from.
