Paris, June.21.
The Gazette de France says that before | starting for Zululand, the Prince Imperial made a will appointing Prince Victor, eld-
a
est son of Prince Napoleon, his heir.
Cassagnac, in the Journal de Pays, after an outburst of grief for the dead Prince, | puts the question :—‘‘Does the Empire die | with the Prince?’ and he answers it in the same breath: ‘‘Ne. There is an heir whom the Prince has designed should be (his suacessor-—Prince Victor, the eldest son of Prince Jerome Napoleon, a youth of warin heart and bright intellect, whom his pions mother had rendered woyth of us and France. Were there no Prince Victor, there would be still a great dominant idea of the system which prevails and im- presses itself. Were ever Bonapartism in peril, Imperialism wonld be stronger than ever.
At a meeting of the Bonapartist Senators and Deputies at M. Rouher’s, yesterday, a suggestion was made and received with con- siderable approval, that all immediate pro- pagandas for the restoration of the Empire be suspended, but care taken to keep alive the Imperialist sentiment until the elder son of Prince Jerome arrive at a majority, when, if affairs mareh rightly, an attempt for the: restoration of the Empire will be made.
It is rumored that Rouher has a testa- ment of ‘the Prince Imperial disinheriting Prince Jerome Napoleon and constituting Prince Victor, the eldest son of the latter and the Princess Clothide (danghter of the late Victor Emmanuel, of lLtaly), as heir to the French throne. Prince Victor is now seventeen years ohkl. MRonher left for Chiselhurst to-day.
THE VICE-REGAL FISHERS. Merapepia, P. Q., June 22.
The fine and beautiful weather which has prevailed since Wednesday has given a fresh impulse to the salmon and trout fish- ing on the Restigouche and Metapedia Rivers. Reports received last evening at the Indian House say that the Vice-Regal party are having very good sport and had taken nine salmon up to 6 o’clock last even- ing. Her Royal Highness, the Duke of Argyll and the Governor General are the suceessful ones, the Princess having cap- tured the largest fish caught and which weighed 28 pounds. All are in good health and the best of spirits.
Lord Elphinston and Col. McNeil have added ten more to their already large record, which now amounts to sixty-one. Mr. and Mrs. Whitcher, whe commenced fishing on Wednesday last are having grand success, and Mfrs. W. has hooked and landed seven fine salmon in the-three days. Mr. Fearing of New York, with two of his friends, have just returned from a short excursion up river, and triumphantly bring nine fish as tropics of their success, the largest weigh- ing 38) pounds.
The arrivals at the Metapedia Hotel since yesterday are: John Richards, Prince Edward Island; Jos. Hammond, Camp- bellten ; W. Campbell, Ottawa ; Peter Me- Kenzie Montreal; R. A. Clive and J. B. Thomas, Philadelphia.
- JOURNEY. Hauirax, June 22.
Captain and Mrs. Goldsmith, in the boat ‘“*Uncle Sam,” arrived here at 8.30 last night, on their trip around the world— twenty days from Boston. To-day thou- sands of persons visited the craft and the courage of the adventurers was the subject of general adiniration. Your correspond- ent had a long interview. with the travel- lers. Both were in the best of health and spirits, and have enjoyed their trip, thus far, immensely, although they have experi- enced not a littie roughness. Birs. Gold- smith was sitting in the boat dressed ina navy blue suit, her hair hanging in one braid, and was writing’ a letter to her friends. She is a good-looking woman, 5 feet 3 inches high, and 23 years of age. Her maiden name was Annie McConnell, and she was bern on King street, St. John, N. B., ina house adjoinimg the Waverley Hiotel. Her father was a journeyman tailor. When about four years old she re- moved with her parents to Boston, where she has resided ever since. They propose to sailon Tuesday. If the weather is favor- able, they will make direct for England. If unfavorable, they will coast along the Newfoundland shore, from England down to the Mediterranean, through the Suez Canal, call at Alexandria, thence to Aden, Bombay, Ceylon, Signapore, Heng Kong, Shanghai, Yokohama, Yeddo, San Fran- cisco, and return overland to Boston.

ATKINSON SHOOTING TERY. Sackvitte, June 22.
Atkinson continues to improve rapidly, and will probably be out in ten days. The shooting is involved in as deep a mystery as ever, but the prevailing impression is that Gratte, whose wife keeps house with Atkinson, committed the act. Against this theory are the circumstances that both Atkinson and Mrs. Gratte are very respect- able, the former having a young family needing a woman's care; that Gratte had ceased to support his wife for over two years previous to her entering Atkinsen’s service ; that the shooting was dene with a shot gun which Gratte could scarcely bring there from Boston without being seen or noticed by some one.
Telegrams have been sent to Boston ask- ing for his whereabouts, but no reply has yet been vouchsafed. ‘The Sheriff intends offering a reward of $200 for information leading to the apprehension of the shooter.

THE MYS-
—~- <> 000 eo - - — Parting ot Bugenie and the Prince Imperial.
Now that the Prince Imperial is no more the following account of the parting of tlie Ex-Empress with her gailant young sen, written by Olive Logan to the Cincinnati Enquirer, acquires an additional interest :—
‘J went to Waterloo station io see the last of young Napoleon, who is olf to the Cape to have a look at the Znlus. He was accompanied as you know, by Eugenie as far as Southampton. It really gave mea pang to behold the once peerless beauty, to whom I was presented in the days of her utinost splendor both of fortune and
o
fame. Her appearance was so pathetic that it made, the tears spring to iny eyes. She was attired in a style which we
ladies understand as half-mourning, and she carried in her beautifully-modelled hand a large bequet of early spring violets, the chosen emblem ef the Napoleonic dynasty, and the odorous harbinger for us all of lovely days to come anon. Her hair is still the beautiful blonde so inseparably cennected with her name, and this is some- thing that puzzles ine, unless I accept. the explanation which has been given by some observers—that she wears a Wig. Certain- ly there is not a thread of grey visible. Otherwise she was aged indeed. *She looked positively haggard, pale as a ghost, her droeping, fatigued eyes encircled with the blue rings of care and anxicty. Her faded appearance formed a great con- trast with that of her son, a rosebud of a young fellow in the first blush of joyous youth, up to anything you like, you know; and evidently just bubbling over with plea- surable excitement at the thought of going out to the seat of war with members of the greatest ‘sweils’ inthe Britisharmy. One has only to see these two relics of the im- perial shipwreck to fully understand what a fearful sacrifice it must be to Eugenie to give up her boy, even for the short period of four months, which is supposed to be the length of his stay in Africa. She is the French mother to the very letter. quite a different being from an English or an American maternal parent. She has no sangfroid with him: her eyes are incessantly upon him ; idolatry is legible in every glance. Since his depart- ure, her condition, | hear, has been really alarming. Tears, sobs, and fainting fits have sneceeded each other almost uninter- ruptedly, while cries of ‘O mon fils! mon fils, cheri ? have wrung the hearts of her listening attendants. Itis said that when the Prince Imperial called to take formal leave of Queen Victoria, she received him with almost maternal kindness. Thanking him in a tremulous veice for his interest in England aud itsarmy, she drew him toa sofa, sat down by his side and talked to him in a real motherly syle. Then, when he rose to depart, she too a ring from her finger, and placing it on ‘is, bade him wear it asa mark of her gratefal regard.
