around the ball dress I wore, upon •leaving
home; while a large bundle of hay in. the
chaise served to protect my feet, simply clad
in thin shoes and silk stockings. Islept
restlessly, but dreamed pleasantly, for you
were my dream. Oh,'how amiable, low
beneficent the god of imagination pictured
you! What happy words I read in your'
eyes! My soul was blended with yours; I
knew what you felt, and yet I experienced
infinitely more than you. Oh, that this
should merely have proved a dream! Did you
but realize,fascinating Amella,what heavenly
joys are yours to bestow, you could not
possibly act otherwise in reality, than in my
dreams! No matter how frequently the in
fernally unmerciful head and rib jolts aroused
me, I always closed my sleep-intoxicated
eyes immediately thereafter, and forever
again it was you who led me back to the lost
Elysium.
When I finally regained my energies from
the stupifying sleep,l discovered with affright
that the morning had already dawned. My
calculating had been to reach Blonie soon
after midnight. . I drew aside the curtains
and discovered that we were driving into a
town, which I had never in all my life had
the honor of seeing.
"Where in the world are we?" I asked of
the driver.
'At Kutio!" responded the fellow, dryly
enough, and drove onward.
"At Kutno?" cried I, beside myself with
rage. "Has the devil incited you; scamp, to
drag me to Kutno? To Blonie, to Blonie
would I go!"
The scoundrel feigned to have no ears,
drove onward, and finally stopped in front of
an inn. I alighted immediately, for my en
tire body ached as though it had been broken
upon the wheel; but I felt theAtrongest
temptation to belabor the accursed boy in the
middle of the street. Meanwhile he main
tained that the French officer, who had
engaged him to drive, had named Kutno to
him, or at least he had so understood it.
And thereto he adhered, gave the whip to his
weary horses, and hurried off. Through the
landlord I discovered that my godless coach
man had already been absent, upon requisi
tion, from Kutno, his home, for eight days,
bad probably been dragged around hungry
and well maltreated, according to mili
tary usage, and had now doubtless
availed himself of the nocturnal oppor
tunity to slip homeward with his team,.
the more that he found me out to be a Pole,
and not a Frenchman or an officer. This in
telligence, furnished by the sagacious land
lord, might be accurate enough, but of no
avail to inc., I now sat in Kutno, and was
not in Warsaw, not Wen in Blonie. My host
comforted me with a wretched breakfast and
the good hope of finding an opportunity to
return to Sochazew. He really took great
pains to secure me a vehicle. I, too, ran all
around the muddy little town, throughout the
entire yesterday, in my silk stockings, but
without result. Everything has been levied
upon for the army service. I even humiliated
myself to the extent of searching for the
despicable rogue who had br•tught me to
Kutno. In my anxiety I forgave all his pre
vious transgressions; and, with eagerly ex
tended purse, besought him to take me back
to Sochazew. Nevertheless, he swore that
his horses and vehicle had been seized afresh
.tliat same morning. My acute landlord, how
ever, ventured the opinion .that the ;all-rogue
must have hurried his team to some secluded
country place, to save it from further requisi
tion,
To-day I have finally closed an agreement
with a French engineer officer, who is quar
tered upon my host. He journeys to Kla
down. I shall accompany hum to that point,
where he is to deliver the vehicle to me, with
full power to use the same as a requisition
conveyance as far as Bionic and Warsaw. I
shall therefore first be compulsorily carted to
Kladowa, then back to Kutno, in the midst
of the most terrific weather, merely to secure
the means of transit. For if I did not ac
company the vehicle to Kladowa, I should
incur the risk of losing it altogether. An un
speakable misery reigns throughout the coun
try. Our deliverers make us pay dearly for
our deliverance. Bread is scarcely to be had
at any price. But I must close, or I shall
miss the post-courier. Oh, how I envy this
fortunate sheet, whiCh will appear in your
apartment two days in advance of me!
Simultaneous with this letter I send another,
written yesterday to my sister. Pacify the
dear girl, and tell her, that I shall surely be in
Warsaw the day after to-morrow: Adieu!
I am almost dead with impatience to see you
again. More than once yesterday I was on
the point of starting to tramp back to War
saw, through snow and mud, in my dancing
shoes. Farewell! Would that you could
feel the burning kiss I impress upon your
beauteous hands in spirit, etc.
THIRD LETTER.
POSEN, Jan. 26.—Verily, I am bewitched.
I now believe in every sort of enchantment—
I, who never before put faith in any except
that of your gracefulness. No longer do I
doubt the power of goblin and of the mali
cious Devil. This day I expected to be,
should have been in Warm*, in your bou
doir, at your feet, my adored, and every
conceivable misfortune conspires to take me
to Posen, where I made my entree as a pri
soner, besides. Do not be alarmed. I have
already been set free. My experience seems
like a horrid nightmare. The more rapidly,
I seek to hasten forward, the farther back
ward do I slip. Has ever, since the creation
of man, a human being encountered the con
b./Amps of leaving a ball for a string of
pearls, and of being hurled forty miles out
into the rough world therewith? All of my
desire, my impatience, my zeal, my wisdom,
my ferethought has availed no more than to
expedite me farther and farther backward,
even as the tempest dashes the adroitest and
most zealous mariner far out to sea from the
port toward which he steers.
The Engine . er officer and I had driven in
company to Kladowa, as determined upon.
In this wretched nest sat a sort of plaec-
CO7ll mandant, to whom the Engineernt once
reported after our arrival. There found
orders to repair to Sempolno without delay.
He came back and announced to me, with
many shrugs of the shoulder and millions of
apologies, the misfortune of his inability to
keep faith with me; everything must yield
to the service. I was wellnigh speechless
with fright, besought, cursed, paraded my
dilemma before him—all to no purpose. lie
must go to Sempolno, and shrugged his
shoulders afresh.
While the hostler was feeding the horses,
the Engineer hurried to the Commandant,and
accompanied by a squad of soldiers,Went into
all the stables and houses for the means to
secure another conveyance.. I followed him.
We found nothing beyond a spacious dung
cart., In order to keep my hold upon the
vehicle,' decided to ride farther to Sempolno,
where I could hope to secure a relay if
necessity demanded, as well as more endur
able lodgings than in this squalid,
miserable nest, styled Kladowa. The Engi
neer approved of my resolution. Neverthe
less, I remained out of temper; nor was either
of us quite so loquacious and friendly
upon the way as before. Nay, there
even now and then arose 'an uncomfort
able interchange of words; at Sempolno we
coldly separated. I treated my coachman all
the more generously, however. We decided
to remain over-night, to allow the horses
their, needful rest, and to travel back 'with
the earliest dawn of day. My liberality grew

apace, and I was ensconced, in the vehicle at
earliest twilight, face Warsawward, by way
of recompense therefor. We had scarcely
completed a half-hour's ride from Sempolno
when we perceived three . French chasseurs
galloping with loose reins-in - our..
rear. My coachman, full f anx-,
ions presentiment z urged his team
onward with all his powers. I found his
solicitude as superfluous as his haste fruitless.
The French speedily overtook us,commandecl
us to halt, cursed tbo driver, whom they?
alleged to have eluded the requisition, ordered
him to turn back, and even hinted at the
death sentence. My Phaeton understood not
a word, but, guessing the import tram the
features of the world-conquerors, cast a sor
rowful glance upon me. It was now my
opportunity to intervene. The scamps appear
to have expected as much; for, turning toward
me, they inquired, with much politeness,
who I was, and demanded my pass. I had
none. Thereupon, in the most gracious
expressions imaginable, they declared me to
be suspicious, and besought me to have the
goodness to make myself satisfactorily known
to the place-commandant.
No doubt the polite 'ruffians, who without
further ceremony turned horses and convey
ance back to Sempolno, were fully convinced
of my harmlessness. The commandant, on
hearing that I had clandestinely deprived the
requisition of its vehicle, and that I did not
possess so much as a pass for myself, in the
first place declared me suspicious; secondly,
an enemy of Napoleon, and, thirdly, a pri
soner. My protestations merely contributed
to a permission to justify myself at head
quarters in person. And two hours later I
really attained to the honor of driving to
Posen, in company of a corporal and a first
lieutenant who were about to journey
thither.
As long as it is simply a matter of trivial
contretemps and unexpected railleries of
fate, loss of patience easily supervenes, pro
bably because of the hope to triumph in the
end. But when misery crowds too thickly,
the affair again becomes amusing,because the
victim, when he overrules himself and sees all
resistance futile, falls back upon his innate
pride, and no longer fearing aught, despises
all. In proportion as the accidents of the
previous days had annoyed me, it now
seemed ludicrous to me to be buffeted back
to Posen and to the confines of Poland, and
that, too, as a prisoner and in ball costume-
In reality, the misfortune was not so over.
whelining after all, and I am convinced that
you will laugh as unrestrainedly as I. I have
naught to complain of but the loss of those
glances which . I could not encounter in any
other presence than yours, my amiable Coun
tess. See now what trouble may be entailed
by the contention of two pretty women.

lam now truly glad to be in Posen, and
found myself well received at headquarters.
Many apologies for the severity of the mill-,
tary- service were tendered to me, nor could
any one restrain his laughter over that un
merciful mood of fate, which had forced me,
in silken underclothes, from a ball-room in
the capital into the midst of war's tumult on
the confines, in the worst of the winter. My
first business here shall be to equip myself
anew, for I present a sorry appearance. I
shall no longer depend upon requisition-con
veyance; have purchased a sturdy saddle
horse, that shall bear me back to you; have
ordered swarm traveling-suit, whose military
cut cannot fail to command respect- among
the corporals of the world-conquerors ; and I
have furthermore secured passes whereby I
shall reach your ante-room unhindered.
Nothing,then, restrains me from flying to your
feet but tailors and shoemakers. I foresee
that I shall not be able to leave until the day
after to-morrow. Mortals SS goer most de
pendent upon the smallest of circumstances.
Time becomes painfully long, for I have
long since wearied of gazing upon the war
like confusion reigning here,and the hundred
fold uniforms of passing and repassing troops.
It may be classed among the most remark
able contradictions of this enigmatical human
race, that all the world curses war as the;
greatest plague of life. Every one bewails
its hardships and fears death, and yet thou ,
sands voluntary surrender themselves to ward
to misery and destruction.
My only enjoyment is .to think of you; 0
caress you, alas, only in spirit! To admire
you now in the dance, now at the pian i
again at the toilet, in the fascinating negli
of your domestic routine, and as the queen
all beauties in every charm bestowed upott
you - by nature and art.

FOURTH LETTER.
- -
MAGDEBURG, April 2.—Heaven knows, 11-
loved Countess, whether you have receivxl 1
the letter I sp hastily scribbled with pencil at
Dresden; heaven only knows whether tilde
lines will ever reach you. I shall therefoOe
briefly repeat to you what I penned at Driti:-
den, as well as my petition that you 41
direct your entire influence, jointly with ttat
of my relatives, upon the Government Cod
mission and the French authorities, to hate
me released.
I have already recounted to you how
were surprised, surrounded and captured ,
a Prussian raiding party, a short. distar e
from Posen, between Schwersens ~d
Kostrzyn; that an officer and one private ; f
the French detachment, in whose compart. I
was riding, lost their lives; that all were pl + -
dared, and that I had rescued myself fr.'
further indignities through my ability to y
to the Prussian commander, in German, . t
I was no military personage, but a civ' n
traveller, who had casually joined I.e
Frenchmen. This, together with my pi s,
which confirmed my depositions, and ' e
declaration, made in my anxiety, that so : r
from making common cause with Napole ,
1 was a true Prussian subject who longed , r
naught so much as the disenthrallmeu f
Poland from the French flood, served mt u
good turn. The Prussian officer was av. y
Amman() man. When I announced to h. ,
in answer to his query concerning the ni .1 -
ber of troops in Posen, that doubt
several regiments would take the roldelo
Warsaw that very day, he tbrthwith decit d
upon a retreat to Silesia, but simultanem y
indicated to me his inability to set me frectt
once; his peculiar position forbade it. 9.
Without suffering the treatment of a -
/
soner, I was yet in the condition of one. e
arrived in Silesia several days thereafter, r
miserable roads, half-starved, half-froth.
What mattered it whether I cursed or 'angina?
Lprudently concealed Sophy's necklace as
well as I could, and equally sb my snail
stock of money; for I mistrusted the vicittli
tudes of war, and thus did wisely. Our c*-
mander, who bore the title Of major, enc. -
aged me on the following day to serve 1 e
flag of the king; like a loyal Prussian -
jest; if even only as a volunteer. I d
not possibly reject the honorable offer, w -
.out violating propriety, or placing my -
' triotism in a suspicious light. I there!) e
performed adjutant's service with the tith f
lieutenant, and impatiently longed for a t
sing opportunity for escaped My coul p e
sunk, however, the deeper we penetri d
into Silesia. 1,,,A
We suffered indescribably from frost,sniW,
t
and the want of food. Wherever we c e,
we were compelled to take the needful t :et
armis. Most pitiable were the prison° of
war, whom we dragged everywhere after .
Despite all this,' , the Poles, whose luctesa
ate I Most willingly sought to alleviate re-
pulsed all my goodwill with pride and dis
content. I read in the eyes of my countrymen
that they .held me for a traitor, a' reflection
more painful to me than all the other misery.
I also soon experienced the consequence 3 of
tbeirhatred. _
The Major had diMeted his course . ' to Glo
gall; a place we failed to reach. One morn
ing, when. dur couple of companies had
ranged themselves in 'marching , order, in a
certain town, some French hussars rushed
forward. They seemed startled at the sight
of us, and as quickfy, withdrew. As we ad
vanced from the town, we were attacked and
surrounded by a squiidron of light cavalry.
These caused our commander little concern,
but we soon found- ourselves engaged on, all
sides with several companies- of infantry.
We had fallen into_a column of Vandamme's
corps,. and our bravery proved futile. The
Prussians foight with unexampled rage, and
even captured two of the field-pieces that had
been bearing upon us. The end of the game
after all was that, overborne by superior
numbers, we found ourselves compelled to
surrender. We had several killed and many
wounded on our aide.
No one was joyous save the now liberated
French and Polish prisoners of war. The
'latter at once pointed me out to the French
General as a recreant Pole and enemy. of Na
poleon, who had betrayed and surrendered
them to the Prussians, and had forthwith ac
cepted service with the latter. And as our
major, in counting out the prisoners to the
victors, really designatelme as his lieutenant
and a volunteer besides, no attempted justifi
cation availed me. The Posen passes only
served to intensify my guilt; horse, watch
and money became the spoil of the conquer
ors. With the rest of the captured, I was
compelled to wade in mud and snow, and
taken throughLiegnitz and Dresden. Here I
announced my misfortune to you. We en
joyed several days of rest in Dresden. Then,
with a squad of other prisoners, our road lay
by way of Leipzig to Magdeburg.. I have
been for eight days within this fortress; the
inhabitants extend much sympathy, and kind
ness to us,they who need the same in the high
est grade themselves. Nowhere have. I
found so much dejection as in this city.
Every one curses the French. The towns
folk cling with unremitting ardor to their un
fortunate King, nor by any means abandon
the• hope of seeing the Prussian eagle once
more upon their ramparts.
To all appearance I shall be compelled to
await the upshot of the war as a prisoner
within these walls, unless my case be taken
in hand and pushed at Warsaw with the most
unremitting zeal. My stock of cash com
mences to melt rapidly. By all means do 1
conjure my good sister to send me a remit
tance in an accompanying letter, to the
address indicated above.
The 'Governor is a gracious man. I had
an opportunity of recounting to him, one
after the other, my accursed adventures. He
found them so singular as to provoke his
risibility throughout, and even to arouse his
incredulity! He is personally acquainted
with my friend Felix. But he declares my
liberation to be totally beyond his power.
He commends me to long suffering and better
patience; but has meanwhile promised to
forward this letter to you, as well as another
to Felix. The play of fate has become almost
too rough to• be longer comical. And yet
despair can avail me naught. lam as cheer
ful as possible in the midst of circumstances
thus unpropitious,and my health is inexhaus
tible. , Be at ease, therefore, concerning me.
Comfort dear Sophy. I shall now count the
days, hours and minutes until I receive your
reply. It will seem to me as though I had
you in person, when I shall once again
behold a line from you, etc.
PIFTII LErren. _ _
NANCY, May 20.—Comical! My affairs
progress swimmingly. I believe that my
lucky or luckless star will at last lead me to
Paris, Lisbon, to St. Domingo, Otaheiti, to
the Esquimau', the Hottentots, across Asia,
,past the small'footcd Chinese belles, or the
pious disciples of the Brahmins, perchance
through the Persian gardens to Warsaw. I
no longer doubt it for a moment. My affairs
really go on swimmingly, but I do wish them
at a stand still. See me already in France.
lam as near to Lisbon now as to Warsaw;
and once in the former city, what matter
whether I reach you through Asia or Europe.
But neither the Teutonic maidens, among
whom are found the loveliest faces—neither
the French Mlles., the Spanish Senoritas,
nor the budding beauties of the Friendly
Isles, can ever mhke me faithless to you.
Far as I have journeyed, I have failed to find
the same quota of fascination, grace and
worth as I left at the ball in Warsaw. Ala,
would that I had but a line from you!
Who knows whether letters from you, or
from Sopby, may not be lying in Magdeburg
for me? But who ,in Magdeburg has the
faintest idea of my location? I was sent off
with an immense squad of prisoners, after
mailing my last to you.
They told us our testination was Mayence;
there rumor assigned us to Lyons; who
knows what will be the word when I arrive
at the latter place? The mass of prisoners,
with whom I crossed the Rhine, has . been
scattered into a hundred directions. They
took up, their march for all parts of the
world. As before remarked, I no longer
doubt that 'shall have to make a circuit of
the globe. Would that I were with the
Lama in Thibet, withlthe Prophet in Mecca,
or at the Caspian Sea; I should heartily re
joice, for I would be well on my way back
to you.
What wretched beings we are, forsooth !
We are like ants, whose mounds are de
stroyed by the chance step of a horse; like
insects, blown into all regions of the atmo
sphere by the storm winds, and anon de
posited in distant lands. flow came I into
Nancy? What does the war concern me?
I send you these lines to assure you at least
of the safety of my life. Heavens, it seems
twenty years since I parted from you. What
lands, territories, rivers, nations separate us !
No one can guaranty that I shall not atter all
have the honor to become your antipode.
Alas, most fascinating antipodess, what
would life be worth then ? How easily might
you die away from under my feet, without
my knowledge.
They allow us captured heroes of war
many more liberties this side of the Rhine
than on German soil. I can go about at my
pleasure, provided I report to the command
ant at the designated hour. I can also live
as I please—eat and drink what my appetite
listeth, of course for my own money. Had I
only provided more of the.latter, when I
drove to your ball—twenty years ago, I
believe.
I shall soon write again, and from that
point where I may have reasonable hope of
.an abiding habitation until the declaration of
peace, and au opportunity of answers from
Warsaw. It is more than probable, however,
my beauteous antipodess, that my next lat
ter will be dated from, the island of Teneriffe,
or Madagascar, etc., etc.
SIXTH LurrEa.. _
Auxs, June 27th.—My point has been
gained at last. I•am assigned to this town
until an exchange of prisoners or to the dec
laration of peace. In this wise I have fared
more tolerably than I could have expected at
the outset. To have behn buffeted from
Warsaw to the Spanish boundaries verily is
no trifle. I shall therefore visit neither Ota
heiti nor the East Indies, notwithstanding'
their superior attractions for eight-seers - over
these solitudes on the Adour. Every French
man I ever matin Poland cursed my father
land; I repay them with double measure here
upon their own soil. What a wretched,bald,
flat, needy land this 1 I strongly suspect the
French Government of waging war for no
ether purpose than the ,peopling .of •these
trackless solitudes. There are• as many pris
oners of war as inhabitants.
The little town is crumbling to pieces; my
host however piques himself inordinately
upon its antiquity. Let him enjoy the vanity,
He has a young daughter, mere interesting
to me than the oldest town. Ho commends
to me the warm baths of the place, with a
belief thattheir wonderful properties are not
equalled upon the globe. But the man is
manifestly a fool. ,ViTarm baths—and that in
a local temperature already hot to saffoca-
tion!
I am sunburnt to the color of a mulatto,
and can scarcely comprehend how the above
mentioned' maiden of the ancient town can
have preserved a hand so pure and dazzling.
The prisoners of war are quartered upon
the inhabitants. We have nothing gratbi,
however, save our lodging; and we
are left to purchase everything else,
unless' we prefer starvation. My
entire wealth consists in Sophy's necklace,
which I was to have brought to your ball and
am now compelled to devour near the Py
renees. I hope that my dear sister may bear
patiently the temporary loss of ornament for
her neck, and even be happy that her string
of pearls serves to protect her hapless brother
from hunger and thirst. I have already sold
several large diamonds and pearls to a jeweler
of this town, who, hOwever, was not in con
dition to pay cash for them. He was forced
to obtain the money in Bayonne, 'a town
distant about twelve French miles from here.
.Since then I have again been, enabled to live
quite decently, to keep a servant, to ride out
into the neighborhood for pleasure, exchange
visits, and even to alleviate the condition of
my fellow-prisoners, etc., etc.
SEVENTH LETTER. *
Aexs, July 13.—Tc Deum Laudamua?
Peace has been declared ! Everybody calls
to wish me joy of my speedy deliverance
and return home. And of a verity does a i
journey from Acxs to Warsaw need the best
wishes of sympathizing friends, for my trust
in fate is weak. The French speak of nothing
. save Tilsit, and laud their Napoleon above
the gods. According to them, neither Julius
Cesar, nor Alexander the Great, if they had
lived at the present day, would be worthy of
performing adjutant service under him.
The Mayor of this place, in an oration in
honor of the peace, declared Tilsit to be on
the confines of Asiatic Tartary, away up
North; furthermore, that the lett wing of the
Grande Arinte had pushed its outposts far
beyond the eternal ice-fields of the North
Pole, where no mortal ever act foot be
fore. The good people of A.cxs, no more sa
gacious than so many badgers-, chilled at the
bare idea of their worthy Mayor. Doubtless
their first recourse, after the speech alluded
to, was to the warm baths, by way of keep
ing off the Polar frosts.
I shall each day now await the results of
- the Tilsit peace, the order for my return, and
still more impatiently a few lines from your
beautiful hand, amiable Countess, until I
(perhaps) set out.
I shall secure a comfortable as well as dura
ble traveling conveyance; and so soon as I
shall be liberated and have the requisite
passes, you will find me flying across the
Rhine toward our beloved Vistula. I shall
bring my servant, an honest devil from Gas
cony, with me. He has conceived a wonderful
fancy for me, and rejoices in the celebrated
Roman name of Pompey. The strange fel
low has but the one fault of incessant garru
lousness, without any regard to subject or
sense. He will chatter for two or three
hours concerning an over-salted soup. But
there are times when I even fancy an inun
dation from his cceaa of meaningless words;
as for instance when I do not desire to give
my thoughts their play, when I would sup
press my home-sickness for you, and withal
find it impossible to compose myself at once
for slumber.
Write no reply to this, nor yet to my
surely-following letters in the immediate
future. Your missives would no longer find
me here.
.Accompailying this, I forward you my
diary. Let it prove my forerunner—to re
count to, you, more circumstantially than my
flighty letters, my experiences, observations,
and adventures. I penned it during my
leisure mornevis, of which I had not ii . few
at my disposal. You will recognize therein
my innermost being, and within the sanctum
of that innermost life, fOrever and again your
own adored self.
Perhaps y6nr eyes may 'compassionately
drop a tear for the haplesa man upon the
Adour—possibly before you have finished
reading and weeping I shall kiss the beauteous
teat drops from your blushing cheeks.
EIGHTH LETTER.
PAIM PELONA, July 26.—Take the that, best
map of Spain, my lovely Countess, seek out
the Kingdom of Navarre; in
.Navarre, the
capital city, Pampelona, at the foot of the
Pyrenees, and what think you—here am I!
lam followed by a veritable goblin spirit,
which ever draws me farther away from you,
the more confidingly, 'I trust, to rejoin you
speedily. The Whole world concludes peace
—I alone am compelled to wage war with
mankind, and to tussle with Alcadee, Regi
doris, Procurators, Eacrivanos, and God only
knows what other men of distinction. Now
that I have really passed the Pyrenees, how
ever much against my will, a journey to Lis
bon, Madagascar, Calcutta, Ispaban and Con
stantinople becomes likely enough. Depend
upon nothing more that I may announce to
you concerning my return to Warsaw.
I had received your package of letters, en-'
closing those of dear Sophy, of Uncle St—,
of friend W— and of Count S—. Your
words bad transported me into the seventh
heaven; I enjoyed the sweetest recompense
for all my surmounted difficulties. At that
moment evil fortune sent the body servant of
the Mayor of Acxs to me; the former con
ducted me to the latter; the latter to a judge,
and the last mentioned into an apartment,
filled with various personages, among whom
I only recognized the jeweler, or goldsmith,
to whom I had sold - a considerable portion of
Sophy's pearls, about three weeks before, to
cover my needful outlays. They displayed
the sold valuables in a small casket, with the
query "whether admitted having disposed
of these to the man of Bayonne?". They
pointed the jeweler out to me. I glanced at the
articles,recognized them; and replied affirms;
tively,with narration o many collateral cir
cumstances. They sentenced me to prison;
sealed up my property; led me to Bayonne,
instituted fresh examinations; asked me
naïvely concerning the whereabout of my
accomplices, and I now first discovered that
a Princess of high rank had been plundered
by highway robbers, just as she had reached
the Spanish boundary, at Irun. I proved my
innocence to the judges by producing the
remnant of Sophy's• necklace, corresponding
piece for piece with the gold' stones and
pearls. They clapped their hands, took
away the string of valuables, placed me into
closer confinement, informed me furthermore,
of the identical resemblance between this
necklace and that of the Princess, according
to. description, and held out hopes that if I
could produce another casket with ten costly
rings and a diamond cross belonging to the
plundbred lady, I might possibly escape with
,a life-long sentence to the galleys.
I answered according to the circumstances.
Eight days, thereafter „I was packed upon a
'mule, taken to Pampelona under close sur
veillance, whither the so.mdled Virey had
led ha - prison some of my' rumored accom
plices, and whore he desired the necklace
for inspection, as well as my person for con
frontation with the highway robbers.
WhateVer may result from this infernal
business, I nevertheless write to you InAarder
that You may knoW the cause of my absence.
More than this I shall not put upon paper,
'V event lettere between the forming sad the present
*paeana to have been.lost. •
however, because I am compelled to send the
letter, unsealed, for the perusal of the police,
before it can be despatched to you. Comfort
my sister. If I. should be hanged in Spain,
the caul will be yours, for Bulling me away
from the ball after that godless necklace.
But even' on the gallows, 1 shall yet have the
honor to be, etc., etc.
NINTH LErrEn.
BAYONNE ' August 14 ; —I hope that you
have not allowed my last adventure to
trouble you overmuch. I was set free so
soon as the second day after my arrival in.
Pampolona, for the Princess, personally pre
sent, at once denied the ownership of my
necklace. The confrontation,
the hanging
and the life-long galleys passed away of their
own accord. On all sides apologies were
tendered to me. The Virey even invited me
to dinner, and I was presented to the Prin
cess. Spanish soil, hbwever, burnt my foot
soles like fire.
The Virey had me,taken to Bayonne in his
own equipage. Hero I have been furnished
with passes to Warsaw; Pompey has brought
my chaise from Acxs; everything is ready for
my departure, which is to take place to-mor
row. Whether I shall now go forward to
Warsaw or backward to Patapelona, Madrid,
Cadiz, Tangiers and Morocco, I shall, by 'no
means, attempt to decide. Some magician
must be in love with you and jealous of me,
for magic manifestly has full play. It is not
customary in the natural world to cross the
Pyrenees in the simple act of going from one
street in Warsaw to the other. But were my
enemy to sprite me away into the moon, lf.
should love you equally well there. My next
letter will probably be dated in Algiers. Full
of resignation, I remain your etc., etc. •
TENTH LET E 1
WARSAW, Oct. 3.—1 have just recovered
from the first paroxysms of joy in the arms
of my precious Sophy—having arrived here
but a half hour ago. Oh, Amehal Amelia!
Trembling with ccstacy, I announce myself
to you in these lines. send me word when,
in company of my sister, I may be with you,
etc., etc.

A. Now Phase of Spiritualism in Cal.
n
(From the Ban Francisco Bulletin, 'Nov. 27.]
This is the story as we learn it : TtLC loca
tion—an interior city. The parties—among
the best known and respected of its inhabi
tants. Hard-headed, sensible people, never
before, as far as known, affected with spirit
tialistic ideas or affiliating with those of that
belief. Our informant, also a man of buai
ziess,is well known in, this city• and in the city
in question, whose statements will be taken
unquestioned on any other subject, and who
was never suspected of being possessed of an
imagination likely to mislead him.
In the residence of one of these citizens, a
well-known business man, is a small, hard
finished room, having only a single window,
which, is always •tightly fastened from the
inside. The only other entrance to it is
through the sleeping-room occupied by the
owner and his wife. , In the single bed it
contains, usually sleep three little girls, all
from 10 to 12 years of age.
One night, about one month ago, some
time after they had retired, the children were
suddenly awakened by a deluge of muddy
'water thrown upon their bed, wetting them
thoroughly, and also wetting and staining
the bedding, the • floor, and pretty much all
else in the room. The quantity thus thrown
was evidently at' least a bucketfull. The
alarm of the children soon brought in the
head of the house, his wife and some friends.
Instant search was made for the perpetrator
of the deed. None could be found. The
window was securely fastened as before. No
pane was broken. The door of the adjoining
room was closed. It was occupied, and no
one had passed through it. The water had
been poured by some one from the Inside;
but where was the water-pourer concealed?
Be or sshe., whichever it might ,be,
bad ,at least disappeared. The aston
ishment of the householder and his
wife, and the friends to whom the
matter was mentioned,raay well be imagined.
He had no enemies. Certainly the children
bad none. Who, then, would desire to play
so dastardly a trick,and who could have per
formed it, even if so disposed? The perpe
trators remained undiscovered and unsus
pected.
The next night the same occurrence took
place—the same alarm—the same fruitless
examination. The perpetrator was undis
coverable! No, traces of his entrance or exit
could be found, neither could the source
whence the water came be discovered, for
whatever bad contained it disappeared with
the person who brought and spilled it. All
who know the master of the house, and the
, father of one of the fl little girls who oc
cupied the bed, know that it would be dan
gerous work to undertake to play such a trick
about their residehce, and that the conn
quences of discovery would be likely to.be
unpleasant to the perpetrator.
A watch was set both inside and out the
house. The master of the house and his
wife stood guard over their adopted child,
and with them, within the room, the father
and mother of one of the other children
watched by . the bedside. Astonishing as it
may seem, in the words of our informant,
"night after night for rive or six nights the
water was thrown upon the children and
their bed, before the eyeTof Mr. and Mrs.
"-, as they sat up tor the very purpose of
detecting where the water came from. They
could see it come upon the children as if
thrown from a wash basin, by the hands of
invisible parties. This dirty trick
+continued to be thus repeated,
and to remain thus unexplained
and inexplicable, until it began to be called
a "manifestation," and the agency of "spirits"
in the matter was the explanation (?) that
was apparently readiest and easiest to minds
as excited as were those of the spectators
-under the circumstances. Here the tale be
comes so marvelous we decline to follow it
further, preferring that the local press of our
sister city shall be the "medium" through
which the public shall be advised of the won
ders that there transpired, particularly as it
possesses an editor far better acquainted with
such phenomena than we can pretend to be,
and therefore far more competent to do jus
tice to the subject
Suffice it to say that the visible, bodily ap
appearance of departed friends of both fami
lies is broadly hinted at. It is even intimated
that lengthy conversations were held with
their and instructions and monitions im
parted that have sunk deep into the minds of
of the astonished auditors. The demonstra
tions were said to be "a repetition of what
you have read of the strangest doings
of the isms of the nineteenth century,
only far more market and magnified
than usual." About fifty of the inhabi
tants of our sister city are said to be already
cognizant of these wonderful and startling
facts. (?) Why does not the interior press
speak out and give us the full, true and reli
able particulars of these wonderful latter
day revelations ? Its hydraulic features are
novel and characteristic, and though the river
and the sloughs are full of just such water,
we await with interest and anxiety the answer
to the natural question, "Where does that
'water come from ?"

A Mouse on his e.
About eighteen months ago a drug clerk in
_Nashville captured a burly rattlesnake, about
four feet long, and sporting eight rattles
"and a' button." He brought it home a
prisoner, prepared a handsome glass case for
its reception, and has since devoted his lei
sure to the study and cof the reptile,
and
three other varieties of snakes which he from
time to time secured and placed in the same
case.
These snakes live in perfect harmony. The
-.one with the rattles, being . quite the largest,
paid no attention to his companions, and
they, to reciprocate, paid no attention to him.
In relation to the former, the gentleman gives
the following interesting particulars:
About two months after his capture, his
snakeship changed his coat by shedding his
skin. This he accomplished in short order. ,
Being prepared, he commenced by striking
_his head against the side of the case until the
skin was disengaged, and then, by a skillful
series of convulsions, he Came out with a
new suit, glistening brightly, the•whole pro
cess occupying twenty to thirty minutes.
During the present year he has "shed" three
times—in May, July, and a few weeks ago
—and, it is presumed, this is his regular
habit.
His diet is light. For two months after
.capture he could be induced to take nothing
.on his stomach. For nine months he only
ate one mouse, and nothing else, and was for
:abouit. that length of time without eating at
all. 'Within the last two months he had"a
better appetite, and swallowed thirty-six of
the dainty little creatures. His method is to
strike the mouse with his fangs, and after it
is dead he takes it in his mouth, and then
;"down it goes" in a very few minutes. He
skinks nothing stronger than water, and only
• takes this "thin" beverage about three times a
year. Most of the time he is perfectly quies
cent; sleeps a great deal; when restless,
glides within the case as if seeking to make
bis escape, but makes no violent demonstra
tion.
Latterly, he haa,had three companions—a
chicken snake, a black and a spotted bush
snake.. The first of these took a mouse a
few weeks: -ago; the others!, nothing. Some
six or eight mice have been kept constantly
in the case, but for some Weeks have been un
xnolested.
A. few days ago a fresh mouse was pnt in.
Be took a view of the situation, and resolved
• upon fled. He first "went for the least of
the surrounding "evils." Grasping the least
serpent, he severed his head from his body in
a few minutes, without injury to himself. He
ir •
~;..

'..

~ ~~,,
then, after a brief pause, attacked the nex
larger, cutting off the extremity of Ids tail.
L. this case he met with resistance, and was
ral times bitten,but persh3ted until he hid
kit , d his enemy.
Going for the 'chicken snake;" ho moved , .
uron its centre, was seVeral times stricken
but continued the contest with remarkable'
coolness and perseverance. When in very
close quarters he would retreat aad take
breath.
In the midst of this fight• the rattlevisk
became aroused and moved excitedly about
within the case. The mouse, esteeming this
an act of hostility, pounced upon his new
foe with desperate courage, biting him about
the head, along the sides, and upon the back.
He received fearful warning in the "rat
tling" of his snakeship, but no wound from
him. Quitting this one, he would return to
the other and renew his persistent assault,
and for twenty-four hours he thus continued
the struggle.
The poison he had received 'then began to
work; he sickened, retired to a corner of the
case, and in a few hours expired. This is
perhaps the most heroic passage to be found
anywhere in the "Universal History of the
Mouse."- He was taken out and buried, like
Sir John Moore, "without a drum or funeral
note;" but amid the silent sorrow of admiring
friends.
