��edandent��elasttoberel��as the description of the first national fair at tokio may not be uninteresting, we will copy from a letter to a new york paper, by one of its correspondents who was in japan at the time. after describing the opening ceremonies, which were attended by the emperor and empress, together with many high dignitaries of the government, he wrote as follows:����taplotwasp��omtessede��tiniesoffran��lonnewasex��stsiloindes��gstrai��esofitsmast��askedh��
between mesdames and their nephews and nieces [180] there was always the most tender affection. they had adored their brother, were inconsolable for his loss, and devoted to his children, whom they spoilt to their hearts�� content, giving them everything they liked, and allowing any amount of noise, disturbance, and mischief to go on in their presence. madame ad��la?de, who was extremely fond of the eldest boy, would say to him, ��talk at your ease, berri, shout like your brother artois. make a noise, break my porcelaines, but make yourself talked about.����the stately order, the devotion and charity which filled the lives of the sisters de noailles; the absorbing passion for her art which made the happiness, [282] the safety, and the renown of louise vig��e, were not for t��r��zia. her very talents were an additional danger and temptation, for they increased the attraction of her extraordinary beauty; and in the set of which her friends were composed there could be no principles of right and wrong, because there was no authority to determine them. for if god did not exist at all, or only as a colourless abstraction, then the words ��right�� and ��wrong�� meant nothing, and what, in that case, was to regulate people��s lives? why not injure their neighbours if it were convenient to themselves to do so? why should they tell the truth if they preferred to tell lies? to some it would seem noble to forgive their enemies; to others it would seem silly. to some, family affection and respect for parents would appear an indispensable virtue; to others an exploded superstition. it was all a matter of opinion; who was to decide when one man��s opinion was as good as another? but, however such theories might serve to regulate the lives of a few dreamy, cold-blooded philosophers occupied entirely with their studies and speculations, it seems difficult to understand that any one could really believe in the possibility of their controlling the average mass of human beings; who, if not restrained by the fear of a supernatural power which they believe able to protect, reward, or punish them, are not likely to be influenced by the exhortations of those who can offer them no such inducements. nevertheless, these ideas were very prevalent until napoleon, who regarded them with contempt, declared that without religion no [283] government was possible, and, whether he believed in it or not, re-established christianity.��the comte d��artois did not hesitate to give 1,700 louis for a race horse, or to lose four or five hundred thousand francs in an evening at cards; and the emperor joseph ii., when under the name of count von falkenstein he paid the celebrated visit to france and his sister, wherein he made himself so disagreeable and gave so much offence, was well justified in the contemptuous sarcasm with which he spoke of the squandering of the revenues in racing and gambling.��mme. de boisgeloup, however, received the children with the greatest kindness, her two boys were companions for the young cabarrus, and as for t��r��zia, she loved and treated her like a daughter. they lived in the rue d��anjou, and when the following year her father arrived at paris and bought a h?tel in the place des victoires she still spent less of her time with him than with her.������i am not joking, messieurs, and i am going to give you the proof of what i say. griffet, the procureur, who was one of my ancestors, made a large fortune and gave his daughter in legitimate marriage to a sieur babou de la bourdoisie, a ruined gentleman, who wanted to regild his shield. from this union was born a daughter who was beautiful and rich, and married the marquis de c?uvres. everyone knows that of la belle gabrielle, daughter of this marquis, and henri iv., was born a son, c��sar de vend?me; he had a daughter who married the duc de nemours. the duchesse de nemours had a daughter who married the duke of savoy, and of this marriage was born ad��la?de of savoy, my mother, who was the eighth in descent of that genealogy. so after that you may believe whether great families are without alloy.�� [68]��to which she had to answer:����
