MAXIM [MAN'S WILL.-A letter from Vienna to
the Paris Libertii contains thp following statement
of a curious testamentary arrangement between
Maximilian and Carlotta :
Two wills, perfectly analogous, were drawn up
by the Emperor and Empresi. Each of them, in
case there was no issue of the marriage leaves all
the property to the survivor. Thus, Maximilian
being dead, his fortune, estimated-at from ten to
twelve millions of florins, only calculating his
property at Miramar, Lacroma, and the artistic
wealth collected there reverts to the Empress
..Carlotta. The will 'of' Maalmilian is there •td
attest it.
But now comes, the strap' e affair. It is as
, serted that the Empress Carlotta's will, written
with her own hand, and which was carefully
locked up in one of the rooms at Miramar, has
suddenly disappeared, nobody knows how or
whore. From that circumstance it results that,
as the Empress Carlotta has no win and is not in
a state to make one, seeing the almost complete
absence Of her mental factdtics, all her fortune,
including the part coming from her husband,•the
Emperor Maximilian, and which ought Injustice,
after her death, to revert to the Austrian: imperial
family, will now legally fall to the royal on e o f
Bolglum. .

JOHN QUILL AT THE SEAL-HIDE•
(Cortespondenee 'of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
ATLANTIC CITY, July 26, 1867.—A man wag de
sires to establish an 'extensive newspaper cor
respondence from such a sleepy old border town
as this, must either be the happy owner of one of
those' luxuriant and prolific imaginations which
can conjure delightful folly from unsuggestive
fact, and glve an air of romance to wretched
reality; or else he must falls back on those corn
, mon-places which cruelly relate to city readers
the remarkable difference between the sultry air
of town and the cool sea-breeze, and paint in
glowing but somewhat tiresome colors the ad
vantages to be enjoyed in the way of "dips in
old ocean," strolls on the beach, and in the other
amusements to- which loiterers by the sea-side
arc usually ,disposed. But I forbear. I know
that it would require very little effort for me to
perpetrate that favorite joke about the sand
which-is around me, or to draw with graphic pen
the advantages to be received by fleeing from
Third street brokers to Atlantic City breakers.
I might easily compel mild pleasure, even if I
did not induce wild ,conjecture, by leading off ;
with that ingenious conundrum, the answer to
which happily plays upon the words "raglan'
surfs." I forbear, I say, partly because I knoy „ s i r,„ i
)1. is considered vulgar in polite-society- to- guess-
conundrums, as this would be guessed, and
because, despite the fact that "hops" - and other
fashionable excitements are not of frequent
occurrence here, there is enough material to '
write about without trespassing on the ground
occupied by the worthy gentlemen here whose
opportunities for observing the doings of the
dwellers on the shore are not as favorable 'as
Mine.
Wily a congregation of dancing people is'
.
called a "Lop," when It occurs at the sea side,
and a "ball" when it takes place inland, I do not
know any more than I do why the former name
should be enjoyed simultaneously with a beer
producing plant and an ungraceful species of
progression on one leg, and the -latter by a can
non shot as well as an evening entertainment.
These things arc as Inexplicable as the arbitrary
law which dooms the Bird of Freedom to be
styled the American a? yile, even by the most en
thusiastic admirers of his aerial flights. This I do
know, however, that hops, balls and routs of all
kinds do not occur with that frequency just now
that is demanded by the sanatory enthusiasm of
the Atlantic City world. It Is strange
that the salt air should affect people so. • A man
who.is quiet and peaceably disposed at 'home no
sooner has his nostrils well filled with the sea
air,- than he straightway feels an impulse to put
his legs in motion, to stand up in a dining-room
with a girl in loud costume and unreasonable
trinkets, and whirl madly over the floor to the
squeak of horsehair and cat-gut, treading on
trains, ripping out "gathers," dislocating hack
hair, and violating the sanctity of corns, until in
a deluge of perspiration he stops and goes out
to cool himself outwardly with the ocean breeze,
~pitick, in w' at ay fl Vlll7
Fe, ed by a Vacuum to 'ascend throidill a.'straw:
'-'4-1/e44l.wr-so-rarelrhere tiat : the
ardent lovers of the dance are unsatisfied, and are
fain, to content themselves with fishing and gos
-sipping. -The latter is -carried on upon the
porches every morning and evening, to the in
tense satisfaction of -the' participants7and -- to - the
verbal ruin of the gossipped. The ;ladies arc of
ei,iirse arrayed in their most gorgeous and ex
], IL:ivy-attire—prepared expressly for this occa
ion—and as their costume's are of a different pat
tern every morning, mental criticism upon each
other is , the first thing upon the progrjuume.
Having obtained a full and perfect comprehensioa
of the cosi, tastefulness and fit of the garments
of their friends,, the ladies fall-to upon the absen
tees and discuss theM with relish. It is pro
f-14MA d 'in Locking, bed taste for
31rs. Wilkins to have worn that
chintz dress four mornings in succession, and
wonder is expressed that her daughter should be
pumitted to flirt so scandalously with young Fitz
:_'mythe, who, you will remember,. is the son and
heir of old Fitz Smythe, the retired army con
tractor. Of course, all the mammas , who lite
marriageable daughters consider Miss Wilkins a
disagreeable creature, and show how much they
commiserate Fitz in his suffering by endeavoring
to beguile him into prolonged conversations with
their own offspring.
• Old Mrs. Foofoo, who eats so heartily at the
table, comes in for a share of comment also.
There are ladies who sit twenty plates distant
who can give you the exact weight of Mrs.
Foofoo's daily bread in avoirdupois, and who re
cognize in the delicate_ grace with which old
13i owne helps her to butter the existence in the
hatter's breast of a tender passion which would
find its fidlest gratification in controlling,her
bank account. Mrs. McTavish, the dashing
widow, whose antecedents arc considered doubt
ful, and regarding whose entombed husband
there are rumors of a too free use of other men's
names on discountable paper, is known, to have
desimas on young NoOdle, of the Board of Bro
kers, who accompanies her to the beach every
evening, and, I am credibly informed by the
ladies who always happen to pass at the time;
sits in the summer-house with her, and has but
one arm visible to the inquisitive, the other
being hid away within the widow's shawl.
That odious Miss Ferguson persists in hum
ming at the'piano, and producing a succession
of sounds which she fondly . imagines can be
classed under the head of vocal music; and White'
and Green, the two Market street clerks, who are
here spending their week, bend over her and
turn the music of "By the sad :ien, waves," and
luailt defiantly at each other, and feel as if they
could commit murder on the spot, when the one
or the other asks the fair reviler of the modes to
take a dive. Mrs. De Jones has her infant
prodigy with her, as she helps to discuss these, her
friends, and that phenomenon persists in falling
off the porch, crying, annoying pecple with a'
tin whistle, and wiping its sticky hands on the
elegant toilettes of the ladles, who scowl upon
the infant and hate it in their hearts, while they
call it "a little dear."
This daily feast of gossip, with the,"feeding of
the animals" three films a day, the - gtithing, the
driving and the occasional sailing, maim up, as
everybody knows, the round of amusenat and
daily occupation at such places as this. About
one-fourth of the people who come hero en
joy themselves like intelligent human beings,
while the balance loiter around the hotels, and
,cause one to winder what on earth they came
Mere for.

one this morning;—prove himself aye* . Aneas of
a Colin, and sail out over the briny deep while
Dido mourns him amid,her friends on the shore.
If embarks—as she does when wisdom =Mrs
lids for its own—she has a fine chance to display
a delicate timidity, and to scream when the boat
rocks,,so that she can Induce her intrepid com
panion to calm her fears with soft words, and
prove Lis familarity with nautical matters by
using sailor slang in conversing with ,the boat
man, who, of course, is bewildered thereby.
Outside the bar the great emetic rolls cease
lessly, and the ehanceS are that Colin and Phyllis
will both experience those unpleasant sensations
which Usually afflict the trespassers on the do
main of Old Ocean, and, of course, sentiment Is
at a discount. Colin pays the boatmen deject
edly and goes home in a horse car with Phyllis
sick upon the cushions, and disposed to blight his
affections permanently. It is singular how the
heart is affected by a sick stomach. It Is no more
strange, however, than the riot the
breakers make with female beatify. There
is that angel In the grenidine. What a mag
nificent creature she is in the parlor. A face. that
would have driven Aspasia into disgrace; a form,
that would have induced desperation, affd probaz
bly matrimony on the part of jealous Diana.
She is a queen. a goddess, a divinity in real dia.;
monds and her own hair. But look at her now,
as she comes out of the.surf, a damp, limpid,
draggled, lank form in blue flannel and a
crushed hat, attended by a Satyr In grey trousers,
with his Hyperion curls all out of
twist, and the fragment of a jelly fish
tangled in them. Were , there ever two
more - forlorn creatures: And yet he prefers
her in that guise.; he is happy when he takes her
hard and entices her Into the surf, and, her little
affected shriek as the breaker dashes over her is
music to his car. The beach is his Elysium:
teaching her to float, even though she is com
pelled by the breaker to kick him so that he
tumbles over. to him is bliss. Yon would think
it would kill sentiment. but it does not. It ell
courage it. or the satyr would not have conic
up to my room. and after an hour's ineffectual
struggling with the Muses, have left this upon the

MEXICO.
Point tor History—The Rivalry at,
Queretaro_ iletureen • Illiramon and
.
Among the pa`pers captured at Queretaro with
the Imperial prisoners was the following blotter
of a note addressed to Maximilian by General Mi
ranion. It explains the reason why General
:Marquez would not let Senor . Parada and Genetal
Portearrayo leave Mexico city to aid in deftaiding
the Emperor on his trial. The document is not
si-ned and bears 114date,but appears to be in the
handwriting of General liamirez Arellano :
Your Majesty's letter has given me great
pain. for its contents amount to a reprimand
which Ido not think I deserved. Perhaps my
previous letter was not interpreted-truly in the
sense which I wished to convey, hence I must
explain myself to your Majesty.
said in that letter that from the moment that
General Marquez was appointed to the eonmund
of the army, I could no longer remain under his
orders, and that solely out of attachment for
sour Majesty was I willing to accept command
pt the infantry ceps (Venn«, before taking part
in the first battle. The -publicity given to the
weighty reasons which I had for'such a course
made me omit repeating them in my letter: but,
as I am anxious to satisfy your Majesty, and am
unwilling to be reckoned as insubordinate, when
I atu always first to obey, I feel compelled to ex
plain those reasons to your Majesty.
General Marquez was made a brigadier at my
recommendation. Afterwards. When I' was head
of the nation, 1 availed myself of the first oppor
tunity that presented itself to promote him to the
bichest rank in the military service. This general
sii,,wed his gratitude by au attempt to proclaim
General Santa Anna President. ignoring my.au
thority and obliging me to march to the citpital
Of Jalisco for the purpose of putting him ,down
in : , erson, as I effectually did, and compelling
hill: to return to the capital to undergo his trial
for revolt. General Marquez having always been
under - my orders, I could never look upon him as
my superior; I would rather retire to private life
than submit to se; hard a blow, Which would do
injury to all my past career mad wound my dig
nity and self-respect.
Your Majesty says that he has deserved your
confidence as chief of your stall and that I like
wise have in the exercise of the important com
mand that has devolved upon me. It being so,
I have nothing to say on the point, because the
chief ofstaff is not my superior, but rather a
medium through which your Majesty conveys
me his orders. Such a proof of your confidence
in him does me no injury: but it was quite the
reverse when I heard from your own, lips that
General Marquez was the General-in-Chief of the
army. For this reason I decided to address your
Majesty confidentially, so as to avoid by that
course- , --not a pernicious example—so much as
the publicity of my resignationiwere I to send it
through the Secretary Of War.
I am anxious that your Majesty be persuaded
that my attachment to your person is sincere;
and, as the cause of my resignation has been re
moved, seeing that General Marquez is simply
your chief of staff, and not General-in-Chief of
the army. I will continue in the command
which I owe to your goodness, disposed to sac
rifice myself as the most devoted general of your
Majesty. - Sire, &e.
It will be recollected that Maximilian appointed
General Marquez lieutenant-general on March 19,
and That the latter stole out of Queretaro on the
night of the 21st for the capital, where he ar
rived on the 2fith, and began his outrageous do - -
ings there which drew from the Emperor a scath
ing note, under date Queretaro, May 3 (published
in the Herald of June 14). The fact that no an
swer to the numerous despatches by courier scut
from Queretaro to Marquez ever was received,
and the noticeable circumstance that Marquez re
signed the command at the capital to General
Tabera only a few days before its capitulation,'
and is yet the only prominent man of the em
pire who is missing, leave room for serious doubts
as to his loyalty. The above letter 'in this con
nection becomes of no little value as throwing,
at least, a eimnier of light upon the inside
workings at Qiteretaro. • ; ,
When the,.lKniperor came to 'Mexico 'in 1834,
General Marquee used his utmoat mideavore to'
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
.In the earlier part of June rumors were con- '
' stonily coming into headquarters, to the effect 1
that several Comanche and Kiocili bands were !
busily collecting , along the base of the Wachita
e - s • - ilk.W.YsW . ,,_ 0. , 1

oruAtity item the fact that parties of old war-worn
Comanchet, hungry, and destitute, and feeble
women were occasionally reporting at the fort
and representing them - selves as lost from the main
tribes and ignorant of the whereabouts of the
young men and warriors. Those best acquainted
with Indian habits and especially familiar with , 1
the traits of the Comanche regarded these
stories as a cunning ruse, designed solely for de
ception, and looked upon these visits of the "old
folks" as Wended to spy out contraband infor
mation, and , merely as precursors of visits of a
- very different character.
Nothing, however, occurred until the night of
the loth of Jane, when a band of Comanches ap
proached to within two hundred yards of the gar
rison limits and drove off two mules and six
horses without being at the time discot ered, The,
following day. disclosed what had taken place,
when the commanding officer of the post de
spatched a party of Caddo scouts in pursuit. It
is to be borne in mind that twenty-live Caddo In
dians have been regularly mustered into the ser
vice of the G'overnment, and are on duty at Ar
buckle. The Caddos came upon the Comanches
at a point about thirty miles northwest of the
post, engaged them, and, after killing three of
ilieinnumber; recovered the stolen animals. .
Since this occurrence the Comanches have made
no hostile demonstrations in the vicinity of Ar
buckle; but his reported that they have formed
an offensive affiance with the Kpaches, Arapa-
Lacs, Kiowas and Cheyennes, for the purpose of
wa g ing war on the whites in the western portion
of this Territory. It is generally supposed; that
these same Indians were recently in front of
General Hancock, and along the lines of western
communication. Some of them have made ad
missions to that effect. At all events, it 'is it fact
that'these tribes, together with the Wachitas, are I
now collecting in the Terrtory southwest of the
Arkansas River, at a point called Cottonwood i
Grove, about one hundred _miles from Fort Ar- '
buckle.
A few days since Lieut. Mark Walker, Nine
„teenth United States Infantry, being then com
manding. officer at Fort, Arbuckle, purchased the
liberty of a white boy of old Esa Hobe, one of
the Comanche chiefs. -.The child was stolen-from
Texas in September, • 1866, by Horse Back,
another Comanche notable, and by hini sold to
Esa Hoba for two ponies and a quantity of pro
visions. The boy's name is Theodore Adolphus
Babb, and his age 1314 years.' .Licut. Walker
paid in ransom money' $2lO, beside about s2b
worth of clothing and subsistence stores. The
child is now waiting a requisition from its parents
or friends. —
Esa Hoba alleges, as an excuse for the appa
rent exorbitancy of his demands, that had ho
taken the child to. Col. Leavenworth, in Kansas,
he would easily have netted Blur five hundred
dollars. He also informed Lieut. Walker that
Horse Back bad in his possession seyeral more

—The expectation, so prevalent a few weeloi
since in military circles, that the garrison at Fort
Arbuckle, which at present consists of two com
panies of infantry and one of colored cavalry,
would soon he called upon to defenditself against
the eneroachnientis of hostile Indians, has not as
yet been realized: nevertheless recent develop
ments have clearly shown that the apprehension
Wannot without cause.
George Washington, Chief of the friendly
Caddos, brings the information- that the head
men of those tribes have made overtures to him
to join them, and that they have gotten together
as many as two thousand warriors. That they .
mean fight, after a short period of rest, he ;kinks
there is no shadow of doubt.

BANK DEIFAI.CAT lON IN SI[IDGE-

---
Fifty Thousand Dollars Izivol
(From the New Duvet' Journu(, July 26.)
4 Last Saturday, W. Howard Barnum, teller of
the
_Pequonnoek Bank . , in. Bridgotiort, asked
leave of absence to go to Saratoga, promising: to
return on Tuesday morning. No suspicions of
anything wrong were entertained, but circum
stances led to a precursory examination of the
books, and. enough was discovered to warrant
the conclusion that false entries had beet in:lde
and that Barnum watra.defaultei to the bank.
It was subSequentiY ascertained that he had
run- away with, about 1150:000 , in money belon.g -
Ing for the most part to depositors, and - that h
had no f t.stolen the bonds belonging,to• the bank.
The investigations which are in progrese are
rendered somewhat difileo4 owing' to the fact
that &rnnm took away Wnilini many of the
depositors' books, which; had been• left to be
written up. It is said that Barnum rae, lately
married, and that In his flight he is- acelmpanicxl
by another women, to whom, he had' become
attached. It is thought that his , defalcations
have been the work of more than six months'
time, and have been concealed by means-of false
entries.
We understand that he is a son of Sheriff Bar
num, of Fairfield county, a brother of lion. P.
T. Barnum, who, we are told,. is one of ilia
bondsmen.
Barnum bas been generally esteemed rather a
fast young rnan, fond of driving a fast horse. and
given to other similar peccadilloes r tint was not
considered in any resFect a vicious fellow..
The Bank Commissioner, Mr. A. B Mygatt, a
gentleman of large experience in banking. mat
ters, states that in no event will the holders
or depositors loss,-and no uneasiness x 1 there
fore he felt by any custoiner.of,4lQ,,kank or tile

Charge of Breach of Discipline Against
Bev. Stephen 11. Tyng, Jr. ,
An in cresting question touching the right of
episcopal clergyman to officiate in Eli ecclesi
astical capacity in the churches of other denomi
nations has been raised and presented to. the
standing committee of this Episcopal diocese.
The complaint alleges a charge of irregularity
against the Rev. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., of-this
city, in having violated the' sixth section of
canon twelve of the Church, by officiating at
the morning and evening services in a Metho
dist church at New Brunswick,, N. J. It is
stated that this action on the part of Rev. Mr.
Tyng was remonstrated against- by the Rev.
lir. Stubbs, rector of the parish, and that a pro
hibition 'as also issued. The presentment , was
formally made to Bishop Odenheimer. of New
Jersey, who transmitted it to the standing com
mittee of this diocese for their consideration.
This committee, which is, in the absence of 'gallop-
Potter, the ecclegastleal authority empoweredlo
take eognizanee . bf the,case, assembled yesterday
afternoon at Trinity church to Investigate the
charges. An extended correspondence is stated
to have taken place, prior to the presentation of
the accusations, between the Rev. Dr. McClintock
and Dr. Stubbs, which the latter gentleman
requested the Methodist clergyman not to cast a
firebrand into the Church by. approving or
sanctioning the action of the Rev. Mr. Tyng
in the, alleged insubordination. The mem
bers 'of the. standing , committee present
yesterday were as follows : President, Dr. Me-
Vickar; Secretary, Dr. Eigcnbrodt; G. C. Ver
planck, Dr. MORT, Stephen F. Nash, George T.
Strong and Floyd Smith. The section of the
(.'canon referred to as having been.violated- by. Dr.

parish or within the parochial cure of another
cler* . tuan, unless die have received permission
for that purpose from the minister of the parish,
or cure, or, in his absence, from the church war
dens and vestrymen, or trustees of the congre
gation, or a majority of them.
Upon the question being put to the-eommittce
it was unanimously resolved that a-committee be
appointed to investigate the charges, and that the
committee assemble on Monday, the 29th inst. It
is thought probable that the Rev. Dr. Walton
will be appointed chairman of .the .committee.
The Rey. Mr. Stubbs. who made the presentment
to Bishtip Odenheimer, was present at the meet
ing yesterday.
It is a singular fact, in connection with the
present case. that the father of Stephen H. Tyng
was iu 1859 in a jositiou similar to that in which
the son is now situated.' The senior gentleman
was at the time charged by a missionary at
Schooley's Mountain with having officiated in
his parish against his desire and authority. The
standing committee assembled In St. John's
chapel for the purpose of investigating the
charges, but, in consequence of the Bishop of the.
Diocese having failed to present a copy of the
charges, the case was'ultimately abandoned.
The case, if it should be brought on for trial,
will attract considerable attention. as well from
its novelty as in consequence of the principles
involved.—N. Y. _Herald

A letter from London to the Boston Post says:
Society is making ready for its autumnal flight
into purer air. The season is practically over; .
but seasons die hard,ancl that of 1867 is no excep
tion to the rule. Amateur performances continue
to he among our favorite excesses. -The English-
Man, of coese, is staid, reserved, self-contained;
but at any rate lie has his little weakness. Try'
him with - a
negro melody or i< break-down dance,
and you will see bow much he minds his personal
dignity when exposed to these peculiar tempta
tions. For the wife of a Bishop, and for a Duch
ess, of course, negro melodies and break-down
dances would be a trifle too gay, even in this par
ticularly free and easy age; but twenty years
ago, the appearance on Exter Hall platform
of two such ladies as the Duchess of Newcastle
and Mrs. Ellicott, as public singers, would have
beet' impossible—even in an oratorio. Do you
like oratorios? The particular one in question—
It was Schachner's—was bad; but there is always
to any mind n Aearisome weight about your ora
torios. Ifiiiiirbe musical high treason to say
so; but the mere piling up of sound Is a poor
substitute for variety and brightness of invention.
The house .of Newcastle seems smitten
with a passion for publicity. The Duchess has
been singing at Exeter Hall; the Duke's brother,
Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton, has been acting—
well, perhaps, "acting" is . hardly the
correct term!"—at the Strand Theatre.
But the peculiarity of Lord Arthur's ap
pearance is that it was for the benefit of the man
tievress. Whether,or no It is desirable for, the
English , aristocracy to appear upon the stage at
all is a question which, with your kind. permis
sion we will systematically not dis Cuss on this
particular oceasion• ' but at any rate if the patri
cians wi ll act, let them give the proceeds to some.
charitable institution. Side by side with Lord
Arthur, and eminent in the " break
down,"
was the Marquis of Townsend.
The Marquis of . Townsend Is a benev
'olent gentleinan who passes the greater pOr
tion of his time iu wandering about the streets
and giving little gins Into custody—hoop soft

He is a combination of Sir Galahad, `*hose

the Suppression of Mendlcity. He' is anxious—
honestly and loyally anxious—to get our poor

mentably wanting in the commonest discretion ,
that he really does more harm than good by his
well-meant efforts. • Acting in Bcron'shurleaque
