1 HE STORY OF DON CARLOS.
It will be remembered that Gustave Bor
jTDrclli wan enyajjed ia an exaniinalioa of
Hpnnihh State rniiern for the Master of the
KoIIh when he was Btrnck down by feyer in
the bcgintint,' of the present year at Madrid.
His very last discovery was a detailed ac
count of the Arrest, trial, and execution of
Don Carlos, son of King l'liilipll, purporting
to be written by Fray Juau de Avila, the
l'rince's confessor, and an eye-witness of the
proceedings he describes. A summary of
this document is given by Mr. Cartwright in
the "Memorial Sketch" of IJergeuroth, which
be has just published in London. In repro
ducing the substance of this vivid and start
ling murrative, it is needful to nay that Her
penroth died, before he had fully satisfied
himself as to its genuineness. Tho story is
na follows: "Don Carlos was a young prince
very much inclined to do what pleased him
without ' any respect for others. He
was, however, on good terras with
his father, King Hiilip, until the King
married his third wife, Isabel of France. Isa
bel was of the same age as Don Carlos, and
nncommonly handsome. Don Carlos fell in
love with her, and made her a declaration in
forma, which the Queen was weak enough to
answer, begging him to desist from his suit,
because she, being bound by the most sacred
ties to his father, could never be his. This
letter miscarried, and came, the priest says
tie does not know in what way, into the hands
of Philip, who, finding it by far too warm,
htrongly' reprimanded his wife and his son,
nnd forbade them, undor severe penalties, to
Hce each other or to write to one auother.
Don Carlos, instead of repenting, conceived a
very strong hatred of his father, and relished
any misfortune that might befall him." One
result of this was that he entered into corre
spondence with the Prince of Orange and
Counts Egmont and Horn, promising to join
their movement, and, if possible, to persuade
Lis father to give him the command of the
troops in the Low Countries, which he
could then transfer, together with himself, to
the ranks of the insurgents. Again the Prince
was unlucky in papers revealing the project,
or, at least, suggesting a scent of it, falling
into his father s hands. First, the King pro
fessed to believe that it was a case of heresy,
and arresting Don Carlos referred him to the
Inquisition. They pronounced the Trince to
be a good Catholic, and the King next resolved
to proceed against him for high treason. He
himself dictated the accusation, which was
nigned by three priests, of whom one was the
Prince's own confessor, and the author of
thiB memoir. "The King told them to keep
the proceedings secret in order not to make
Enblic the shameful conduct of his son, and,
e added, although ho was perfectly justified,
'there are people who would think him bard
and sanguinary if they were to know the
truth.' He intended, therefore, afterwards to
have the rumor spread that Don Carlos had
died of illness, or something similar."
At first Don Carlos denies categorically,
and in the most determined manner, all the
charges against him. Torture is threatened,
but he still persists in his denial. Torture is
then actually' applied; the hangman, who,
with his assistant, has been brought blindfold
to the house, fastens the cords to his hands,
and he and his assistant give four turns. The
accused heaves a deep sigh and remains as
though he were dead. They throw water
over his face and he recovers. When the
executioner prepares himself to continne, the
Prince declares that he will . tell the truth.
The same questions are read to him which he
had denied. He confirms all of them. The
court declares the inquisition concluded, and
decrees that the cause is to be "heard." Then
the. record proceeds as follows:
The conrt assembled. Antonio Perez repeated his
Declination, and asked that Don Carlos be beheaded.
Kscovedo (who Is spoken of throughout as counsel
fur Don Carlos, but who was really one of the Judges)
repeats his defense, and asks at all events a milder
punishment. Antonio Perez and Escovedo take their
ncatfl at the table at the right and left of the Pre
sident. They confer. The President pronounces
the sentence of death and confiscation of all pro
, perty against the Prince Don Carlos of Austria.
(The sentence, dated lilst of February, is verbatim
inserted.) The sitting concluded at daybreak. The
judges and friars went, however, to sen the king.
They found him saying prayers. Vaiyas informed him
that the sentence was pronounced. The King read all
tli u proceedings with great attention, and especially
the final judgment, lie asked, "Is all conformed to
law V "Yn, sire," answered Vargas. "Have all
means or accusation and derense been exhausted ?"
"Vts. sire." repeated Vargas; "we have conducted
the case as though the Prince were a common sub
ject, and this is the result." "1 observe here an
omission In the questions," said the King; "the
' Prince has not been asked how many accomplices
he has, and who they are." Vargas excused hiinseir.
The King was not angry, and said if the Prince
should confess he would not sign the sentence.
We all were astonished at the firmness of mind
cnUrrza) of the King, for, according to our
manner of understanding (a neuxtto modo de
eittender), he should nave shown sorrow
for the fate that was prepared for his son. lie, with
a serene face, and without betraying the least sign
of grief, serenely and calmly signed the sentence of
Ills son." The King retained the papers, la order to
examine them more at leisure. The judges and wit
nesses went to ask the Prince about his accomplice.
The Prince said he had none, and if he had, be would
not betray them. Vargas admonished him, but to no
purpose. W hen they returned to the King, and In
formed him of the answer of the Prince, he ob
served: "lie la very generous, but I wish he were
less so." The King delivered the sentence to
Vargas.
The next night the judges and witnesses went to
the room of the Prince, whom they found in lied,
aiid who seemed to be surprised, as there was no
clerk, Vargas read to him the sentence. The Prince
was frightened, and exclaimed, "Is there no help?"
'No," answered Vargas, "the King has already
Mgned." Tho Prince broke out In lamentations.
Tt is impossible:" he exclaimed, "that my father
pushes things to such extremes. I want to see him.
Ooand ask Dim to come; be will perhaps nullify the
sentence." The Prince broke oat in tears. Those
who were present were moved. Escovedo
went to inform Philip of the wishes of his son. Philip
answered that he would not see him, because
he had already delivered him Into the hands of jus
tice, and the Judgment was just. Although the sen
tence must be executed, he forgave him. When
Escovedo came back with this answer, the Prince
was in despair. Those who were present comforted
Jum, and the Prince, being a young man of high
fpirils, became calmer. "When am 1 to be exe
cuted 7" he asked. Vargas answered, "In three
days." The Prince begged to be executed on the
lipot, or next day at latest. As he wished to be left
alone, all, with the exception of the confessor, went
to inform the King of his demand. The Kiug
granted it.
The conversations of the confessor with
the Prince are next given, the Prince declar
ing his only desire being to do justice to the
Flemish, who against all reason and justice
were oppressed; and that the Queen was en
tirely innoeent. Then the narrative describes
the preparations for death :
A chapel Is prepared in a contiguous room, Into
which the sacred vessels, etc., from the Royal
Chapel are brought. The Prince confesses. Muss
is said. The Prince prays with his confessor until
Vargas, Perea, and Kscovedo enter the room. The
I'rince takes a crucllix from the hands of the con
fessor, and put it on his mouth, for it was clear he
iwre still very Ill-will towards his judges. Tho
JTince forgives his father. The confessor exhorts
him to forgive also his judges, leading him slowly to
the room where the execution Is to take place. The
JTince says, "J forgive all." .
They enter a room where a large arm-chair Is
placed, surronnded by a great quantity of saw-dust.
The executioner stands near It with his knife. The
Prince is not f rightei d by that sight. He is seated
on the chair. The executioner begs his pardon, and
the Prince In a gracious manner gives him Bis hand
to k;KH. The executioner ties bis legs and arms with
"aulas" tl do not know that word, says liorgenrotu I
fit Cologne to the legs and urms or the chair ; ties a
tiandupe of black silk round his eyes, and places
kuubtlf, with ma ki.ife lu his hand, behind the
Prince The Prince says to the confessor, "Prsy for
niyscui." The coufetmor ay the ('redo, ami the
J M.e mpibdH in a ctur and firm voice. When he
pronounced the words "unlco Iijo" only Son the
executioner puts his knife ti his throat, and
a stream ol blood rushes down on trie saw
dust. The Prince struggles little: t.'ie knife, txdng
very sharp, had cut well. The exec.utl ner
takes the bandage from the eyes, which lire closed.
The face Is pale, like that of a corpse, out h.w pre
served Its natural expression. The executioner un
ties tho corpse, wrnps It In a black batz cloth, and
futs It In a corner or the room. That done, Antonio
rer. files all at once at the executioner, accusing
him of having stolen the diamonds of thu prince.
The executioner denies, Is searched, and Perez
finds, In one of the folds of his dress, the diamonds.
The executioner grows pale, and declares that that
Is witchery. Sscoveilo Is sent to the King, and soon
returns with two arquebusliTS. Tho King, he says,
has ordered that, the executioner Is to die on tho spot
for the heinous crime of having robbed the corpse ef
a prince of the blood rovaU Tho executioner con
fesses, protests nis innocence, is leu out oy wiu sol

Ight of the 23d of February, 15GS.
That was on the n
The Cairl of the lrcciit and llic
A'nt.
When you press an assailant of the girls
of the period for the definite grounds on
which he attacks them, and repudiate his
vague generalities against mysterious, un
known women, he has two points on whieh
he relies. He alleges that the present out
rageous fashions and changes in women's
dress, and the greater freedom In girls' man
ners and language in their intercourse with
men, are certain indications of an inner de
terioration of character, liut what amazing
ignorance of past fashions and customs do
these assertions display ! Can any five con
secutive years be named during the present
century in which tho revolutions in women's
dress were not as rapid, as foolish, as
(slavishly dictated by milliners and dress
makers, and as productive of ugliness, ex
pense, and inconvenience as they have been
during the nhort time while the girl of the
period has been attaining her present
growth ? 'When one hears people reprobate
the indelicate dccolkte style of modem even
ing dress, one is tempted to ask what such
censors remember of the ball dresses in vogue
when they themselves were young? We have
caricatures enough of the extravagance of
the costumes of to-day; has no one any colloc-'
tion of the caricatures of Cruikshank and
other satirists of the costumes fashionable
under George IV and William IV? If we
want to learn what was the amount of perso
nal charms displayed by the girls and the
mothers of those good old days, we may easily
satisfy ourselves by a study of the satirists
who exhibited the "dress" and the "undress"
of that rigorous period, llemembering what
we were accustomed to in tho golden age of
George IV, wo shrug our shoulders, just as
when we hear of n Lord Chamberlain's com
plaints of the shortness of ballet girls' petti
coats, and remember what the goddesses of
the opera wore or, rather, what they did not
wear in that happy era of delicacy and dig
nity, when all the cardinal virtues seemed a
spontaneous growth among the gentry and
aristocracy of England.
As to the change which has come over the
daily familiar talk of young ladies, it is sim
ply a consequence of that enlarged freedom
in the use of words which we have all of us
deliberately adopted. The old bigotry which
forbade the introduction of new phrases is
now treated as an extinct superstition; and
our new liberty of speech is a consequence of
a general shaking off of the shackles of un
meaning tradition. If our young-lady talk
is now furnished with terms which their
mothers would have been severely punished
for uttering, this fact indicates no fondness
for Blang, as such, or any want of dolicacy of
idea. Such terms have ceased to be low, or
vulgar, or to imply a coarse freedom of ideas.
The line between the licensed and the unli
censed vocabulary is still as distinct as ever;
and the only reason why the fast and free-and-easy
girls of the past indulged in a less
copious phraseology of the masculine sort,
lay in the fact thnt they had a far more
limited choice ready to their hands. So,
again, in tho diminished formality of inter
course between girls and their elders and
persons of the other sex. Formality of man
ner is nothing more than a fashion, and no
more indicates true respect and affection than
a stiff and padded coat implies a well-formed
bodily figure. We have ceased to go about
in buckram, either in our clothes, our man
ners, or our thought; just as we have ceased
to use the words Sir, or Madam, or my Lord,
as our grandfathers used them. Yet the dis
use of there ancient modes of address ia
nothing more than a recurrence to a still
older set of customs, buen formalities were
unknown to Jewish and classical and Chris
tian antiquity; and yet yon may find old
ladies and gentlemen by the score who de
plore tne crowing disregard of tnese "re
spectf ul" phrases as piteously as the obscu
rantists of a past generation groaned over the
abolition of the episcopal wig. ins urapuc
Etiqnette at the White House).
from th Cincinnati Enquirer
A number of newspapers have had some
thing to say recently against an order sup
posed to have emanated from Mrs. want, pre
scribing swallow-tail ooats as the dress for the
doorkeepers in waiting at tne wnite House;
also, that Mrs. Grant has recently bought
some six or seven thousand dollars worth of
fineries in Paris. Now, in prescribing the
dress of her servants, has Mrs. Grant done
more than every other lady of the land does ?
Hasn't she as much right to say that her ser
vants at the hite House snail wear swallow
tail coats as Mrs. August Belmont, for in
stance (the wife of the chairman of the Na
tional Democratic Committee), has to say that
her servants shall be arrayed in a livery which
reminds us of Solomon in h;s glory? And as
to the Parisian fineries, pny what lady who
can anord it but does likewise t llie trutb. is,
that Mrs. Grant is a most excellent lady. Her
demeanor in nil the gradations of public life
through which she has passed from the wife
of an Illinois Colonel to tne hostess ot tne
Presidential mansion has been unexception
able, modest, and becoming. If she has not
the charming grace of Mrs. Madison, nor the
polished dignity of Miss Lane, she has a quiet
nd unpretending ladyhood whioh brings her
to the fit association of the best society in the
country.
All of which, however, shall not deter me
from relating what struck me as quite a gro
tesque expression and incident of recent oc
currence at the White Hodse. I had accom
panied a friend who had some business with
the President, and as I entered the inner
sanctuary I proposed to wait for him outside
,1 was not unaccustomed to the place, and
tooK a seat, as on many loriner occasions,
Just then a "gentleman in waiting" rushed
up to me in something of trepidation, and as
if be were about to storm my works, or other
wise annihilate me. Said he: "Look here
you mustn't sit down. If the old woman
comes along and sees anybody sittin 2 down
here, she'll give me ." So I yielded to
the demands of the new etiquette, and more
astonished at tne republican simplicity of the
doorkeeper s language than anything else,
btood erect.
The resolution to sell the portrait of General
Thomas was laid on the table in the Tennessee
Ilouee of Representatives, by a vole of M to U,
l litre were twelve Jtepubheuuij lu the Jioabe
ItuIIooti VIer of a London I'o;r.
A London pnper says: "On Wednesday
afternoon, when Ixtndon and the suburbs were
enveloped in a dense fog, Mr. Coxwell made
a balloon accent from the liornsey uasworns.
The ascent took place at 2 -10, when the at
mosphere was clear, boon after ;I o clock the
fog extended exactly in the direction the bal
loon wns travelling, and presented a strongly
defined line of vapor stretching for miles in
an easterly direction. The formation of this
fop, as witnessed by Air. Coxwell lrom his
balloon car, was, we hear, one of the most
interesting occurrences in the adventurous
life of the experienced a ronant, and will
no doubt be fully described. Over the
forest, near Woodford, Mr. Coxwell and his
companion were unable to see
the earth at a height of only fifty feet, and
it was only by the aid of a ropo trailing on
the ground that they were enabled to regulate
their course so as to select an open spot on
which to alight. While holding conversation
with some men who were following the bal
loon, and could only hear tho rustling of a
rope among the bushes and trees, the aero
nauts were supposed to be poachers. Keep
ers, who were in close pursuit, rushed upon
the strangers, when Mr. Coxwell cast his
crapnel in a hedge, and creat was their sur
prise when they discovered what kind of a
net and cordage it was trailing over tho park.
So dense was the fog that tho balloon could
not be seen, and the voyagers were supposed
to be running along the ground, although
Mr. Coxwell proclaimed his balloon, but this
was thought to be a ruse to draw off the
keeper's attention. Notwithstanding the dif
ficult position Mr. Coxwell was placed in as
to landing, still a safe descent was made."
