DOVECOTS.
Times must be very bad indeed if a faithful
few are not still left to keep the sources of
society sweet and wholesome. When cor
ruption has gone through the whole mass and
all classes are bad alike, everything comes to
an enfl, and there is a general overthrow of
national life; but while some are left pure and
unspotted we are not quite undone, and we
may reasonably hope for better days in the
future. In the midst of the reign of the girl
of the period, with her slang and her bold
ness—of the fashionable woman, with her
filial of duty and her madness for pleasure—
we eeme every now and then upon a group
of good cirls of the real old English type, the
faithful few growing up silently among us,
but none the less valuable because they are
silent and make no public display—doves
who are content with life as they have it in
the dovecot, and have no desire to be either
eagles dwelling on romantic heights, or
peacocks displaying their pride in sunny
courts. We find these faithful few in town
and Country alike; but they are rifest in
the’ country, where there is less
temptation to go wrong than there is in the
large towns, and where life is more simple
and the moral tone undeniably higher. The
leading feature of these girls is their love of
home and of their own family, and their
power of making occupation and happiness
ont of apparently meagre materials. If they
are the elders, they find amusement and more
in their little brothers and sisters, whom they
consider immensely funny, and to whom they
are as much girl-mothers as sisters; if they
are the youngers, they idolize their baby
nephews and nieces. For there is always a
baby going on somewhere about these
houses, bames being the great excitement of
home life, and the antiseptic element which
keeps everything else pure. They are pas
sionately attached to papa and mamma,
whom they think the very king
and queen of humanity, and whom
, they do net call by even endearing
slang names. It has never occurred to them
to criticize them as ordinary mortals; and as
they have not been in the way of learning the
prevailing accent of disrespect, they have not
shaken off that almost religious veneration
for their parents which all young people feel
naturally, if they have been well brought up ]
and are not corrupted. The yoke in most
middle-class country-houseß is one fitting very
loosely round all necks; and there being no
power of using greater freedom, if even they
Lid it, the girls are not fretted by its pressure,
and are content to live under it m peace.
They* adore their elder brothers who are from
home just beginning the great battle of life
for themselves, and confidently believe them
to be the fihest fellows going, and the future
great men of the day if only they care to put
ontthoße splendid talents af
perhaps,in' favor of the brothers’ friend, whom
they place on a pedestal of almost equal
height But they keep their mental archi
tecture a profound secret from everyone, and
do hot suffer themselves to let it grow into
too solid a structure unless it has some surer
foundation than their own fancy. For, though
doveß are loving, they are by no means love
sick damsels; they are too healthy and
natural and quietly busy for unwholesome
dreams. If one of them marries, they all
enife in loving the man who comes in
among them. He is adopted as one of
themselves, and leaps into a family of idol—
izing sisters who pet him as their bro
ther—with": just that subtle little difference
in the petting that it comes from sisters
unaccustomed,and so has the charm of novel
ty if not the excitement of naughtiness. But
this kind of thing is about the most dangerous
toa man’smoralnaturethatcan befall him.
Though pretty to see,and undeniably pleasant
to experience, and though perfectly innocent
in every way, still nothing enervates one so
much as this idolatrous submission of a large
family of women. In a widow’s house, where
there are maDy daughters and no sons, and
where the man who marries one marries the
whole family and is worshiped accordingly,
the danger is of course increased tenfold; but
if there are brothers and a father, the sister’s
husband, though affectionately cooed over, 43
not made quite such a fuss with, aDd the as
eociation is all the less hurtful in conse
quence.
The life of these girls is by no means
stupid, though it is quiet and without any
spasmodic eveDtß or cataclysms of fortune In
any way. They go a great deal among the
village poor, and they teach at the Sunday
sehool, and attend the mothers' meetings and
dothing-clubß and the like, and learn to get
interested in their humbler friends, who, after
all, are Christian sisters. They read their
romances in real lile, instead of in three
volume novels, and study human nature as it
is—in the rough, certainly, but perhaps in
more genuine form than if they learnt it only
in wbat is called Bociety. Then they have
their pleasures, though they are of an unexcit
ing kind and what fast girls would call awfully
slow, Thej have their horses and their cro
quet parties and their archery meetings; they
have batches of new music, and a monthly
box from Mudie's, and they know the value
of both; and they go out to tea some
times, and sometimes to dinner,in the neigh
borhood; and enjoy the rare county balls
with a zest unknown to London girls who
are out every night in the week. They
have their village flower-shows, which the
great families patronize in a free-and-easy
kind of way, and which give occupation for
weeks before and subject for talk for weeks
after , their school feaßts, where the pet par
son of the district comeß out with hie best
anecdotes, and makes mild jokes at a long
distance from Sydney Smith; their periodical
missionary meetings, where they have great
guns from London, and whore they hear
unctuous Btories about the saintliness of con
yertedxannibals, and are required to believe
in the power of a change of faith to produce
on ethnological miracle; they have their
friends to stay with them school-girl
friends with whom they exchange deep con
fidences,and go back over the old days—so old
to their youth! and their brothers come down
jjp tie summer; and their brothers' friends
come with and do alittle spooning in

spiced entertainments. mi
Doveß know very little of evil. They are
not in the way of learning it; and they do not
care to learn it. The tew villagers who are
supposed to lead ill lives are spo
ken of below the breath, and care
tully avoided without being critically Btudied,
When the railway is carried down past
their quiet nest, there is an immense excite
ment as the report goes that a knot of strange
men have been seen scattering themselves
over the fields with their little white flags and
theodolites, their measuring lines and levels.
But when the army of navvies follows after,
the excitement is ..changed to consternation,
and a general sense of evil brooding ruth
lessly over them. The clergy of the district
organize special services, and the scared
doves keep religiously away from the place
where the navvies are hutted. They are lit
tle better than the savages, the deputation
tell them about once or twice a year, and
create almost as much terror as an encamp
ment of gipsies. They represent the lawless
forces of the world, and the unknowii evu ot
strong men; and the wildest story about them
is not too wild to be believed.
The railway altogether is a great offence to
the neighborhood, and the line is assumed to
destroy the whole scenic beauty of the place.
There are lamentations over the cockneys it
will bring down, over the high prices it will
ereate, the immorality it will cause. Only
the sons who are out in the world, and have
learnt how life gees on outside the devecot,
advocate keeping pace with the times; and a
few of the more strong-minded of the doves
listen to them with a timid admiration of their
breadth and boldness, and think there may be
two sides to the question after all. When the
dashing captain and his fast wife suddenly
appear in the village—as often happens in
these remote districts—the doves are in a
state of moral complexity. They are
scandalized at Mrs. Highflyer’s
costume and complexion, and
think her manners odd and doubtful; her
slang shocks them; and when they meet her
in the lanes, trailing yards of Bilk behind her
in the mud, talking bo loudly and laughing
so shrilly with that horrid looking man in a
green cutaway, they feel as fluttered as their
namesakes when a hawk is hovering over the
farm-yard. The dashing captain, who does
not use a prayer-book at church, and who
stares at all the girls so rudely, and has even
been Been to wink at some of the prettier cot
tage girls, and his handsome wife with her
equivocal complexion and pronounced fash
ions, who makes eyes at the curate, are never
heartily adopted by the local magnates, though
vouched for by some far away backer; and
the doves always feel them to be strange
bodies among them, and out of their rightful
element somehow. If things go quietly without
an explosion, well and good; but if the truth
bursts to the surface in the shape of a London
detective, and the Highflyers are found to be
no better than they should be, the consterna
tion and half-awed wonderment at the exis
tence of so much effrontery and villainy in
their atmosphere create an impression which
no time effaces. The first clash of innocence
with evil is an event in the life of the inno
-1 cent which nothing ever destroys.
The dovecot is rather dull in the winter,
and the doves are somewhat moped; but even
then they have the chureh to decorate, and
the sentiment of Christmas to enliven them.
The absent ones of the family, too, gather
round the old hearth while they can, and as
the great joy of the dovecot lies in the
family union that is kept up, and in
the family love which is so strong, the
visits of the absent bring a moral summer as
warm and r-w- i many or
the Tioves marry men whose work lies
abroad; these quiet country-houses being the
favorite matrimonial hunting-grounds for
colonists and Anglo-Indians. So that some
are always absent, whose healths are drunk
in the traditional punch, with eyes that grow
moist as the names are B&id. Doves are not
disinclined to marry men who have to go
abroad, for all the passionate family love
common to them. Travel is a golden dream
to them in their still homes; but travel pro
perly companioned. For even the most ad
venturous among them are not independent,
as we mean when we speak of independence
inowomen. They are essentially home girls,
family girls, doves who cannot exist
at all without a dovecot, however
humble. The family is eveiy thing
to them, and they are utterly unfit for
the solitude which so many of our self-sup
porting women can accept quite resignedly.
Hot that they are necessarily useless as bread
winners. They could work if pushed to it;
but it must be in a quiet womanly way, with
the mother, the sister, the husband as the
helper, with the home as the place of rest and
refuge. Their whole lines are laid in love
and quietness; not necessarily in inaction,
but their wishes and their aims are all cen
tred within the home circle. If they marry,
they find the love of their husband enough
for them, and have no desire for other men’s
admiration; their babies are all the world to
them, and they do not think maternity an in
fliction as so many of the miserably fashiona
ble think it; they like the occupation of
housekeeping,and feel pride in their fine linen
and clean service, in their well-ordered table
and neatly balanced accounts. They are kind
to their servants, who generally come from
the old home, and whose families they there
fore know; but they keep up a certain dignity
and tone of superiority towards them in the
midst of all their kindness, which very few
town-bred mistresses can keep to town-bred
maids. They have always been the
aristocracy in their native place; and they
carry through life the ineffaceable stamp
Which being “the best" gives They are es
sentially mild and gentle women; not queens
of society even when they are pretty, beoause
not cariDg for social success, and therefore
not laying themselves out for it; for if they
pleaße at home that is all they care for, hold
ing love before admiration, and the .esteem
of one higher than the praise of many. If
a fault iB to be found with them it is that they
have not perhaps quite enough “salt" for the
general taste, used as it is to such highly
seasoned social food; but do we really
want our women to have so very much char
acter? Do not our splendid passionate
creatures lead madly wretched lives and make
miserably uncomfortable homes? and are not
onr glorious heroines better in pictures and
in fiction than sealed by the nursery Are, or
checking the baker’s bill? No doubt the quiet
home-slaying doves seem tame enough when
we tlpnk of the gorgeouß beings made fa
miliar to us by romance, and history, which
is more romantic still; but as our daily lives
run chiefly in prose, they are better fitted for
things as they are; and to . men-who want
wives and not playthings, and who care for
the peaee of family life and the dignity of
home, they are beyond price when they cau
be found and secured. So that,on the whole,
we can dispense with the splendid creatures
of character and the magnificent queens of
society sooner than with the quiet and unob-

A series ofletters from Constantinople re- PA7, A N U |)0 n.
cently published in the Per sever anza of \J\J la
Milan contain information about , the Court
and domestic life of the Turkish capital. The
following are interesting: t r
“The Sultan is an indolent man, of lym
phatic temperament; he has hot had much
education, and understands no European lan
guage but French, of, which he can speak a
few words. His favorite occupation is to
look after his poultry yard, which contains
the rareßt specimens of . hens, ducks, geese,
swans, &c. He gives enormous prices for
rare birds, and-passes hours in feeding his
hens and watching his cocks fight Among
the higher officials of his court there are a
few able men, but the great majority of them,
like the general body of the employes of the
state, are ignorant and inefficient. All the
places under government are given by favor,
which is usually gained by services that can
not be openly acknowledged. But the inef
ficiency of the administration and the nullity
of the sovereign are a small evil compared
with the influence exercised by foreign di
plomacy and foreigners in general. * * *
There are really at Constantinople as many
governments as foreign representatives, each
of whom gives his countrymen far more pro
tection than they would be entitled to at
home. , . ,
“The Power which exercises the greatest
influence is Russia. She is the real promoter
of the demands of the various nationalities,
and especially of the one hundred thousand
Greek inhabitants of Constantinople, who
still dream of the restoration of the Byzantine
empire. Even in outward appearance the
Russian embassy is easily distinguished from
all the others. It occupies a magnificent
palace, which, being built on the heights of
Pera, commands the whole of the capital,
and. looks down upon the residence of the
Sultan, the Golden Horn, and the distant
roofs of Stamboul, as if its wide portaU only
awaited the entry of the Czar. During the
winter season the palace is opened to all the
higher society of the town, and in the bril
liantly lighted rooms balls and concerts are
frequently given. At Constantinople an am
bassador is respected and feared in proportion
to the magnificence of his surroundings.
“Though the interior of a harem is still—
notwithstanding the spread of European no
tions among the Turks—strictly closed to
all male visitors, the society of foreign lidies
is eagerly sought by the wives of all the
higher functionaries. The rooms they oc -
cupy, even in the wealthiest houses, are low
and dark, and furnished in very bad tiste,
chiefly owing to the mania of Turkish wo
men for tawdry ornaments from Vienns or
Paris. By the side of the finest specimens of
Oriental art may frequently be seen a vasj of
common Bohemian glass, with dusty wax
flowers, which they prize more highly .han
many of the beautiful ornaments of theirna
five manufacture. The saute is the case vith
their dress * * * which is a caricature
of the fashions of Paris. They have discarded
the velvet jacket and trowsers, for.says,
boots, long trains and immense chig
nons. * * • It has also become the fashion
to learn music, and a teacher on the piano
forte (of course a lady; has made a fortune by
giving lesßons in the harems. Another
fashion is to have you* portrait taken. Their
favorite artist is an Englishwoman—a jMiss
Curtis. Some time ago this lady was com
missioned to paint a full-length portrait of
one of the Sultanas. The Sultana was short
and stout, and Miss Curtis painted aer; ac
cordingly. This, however, gave great of
fence, and the Sultana insisted on her being
made a foot taller, saying that as »he was
only nineteen years old, she would be sure to
grow to that size. But instead of growing
taller, the Bultana only grew
ommsi unrecognizable. Miss Cams was then
requested to paint the picture a third time,
and it is now nailed up to the coiling of the
harem."
A. Stolen Boos Restored—Tbe “His
tory of tbe Bouse of Conde” and Its
rate.
Six years ago the sheets of several hun
dred copies of the first two volumes of a
“Hißtory of the House of Conde” were seized
at the printer’s in Paris, and confiscated,
without trial or warning, by order of the Min
ister of the Interior, M. de Persigny. The
sheets were consigned to the cellars of the
Prefecture of Police, and when the publish
ing firm to which they belonged appealed to
Persigny for the restitution of their property,
it was conceded, on condition that the sheets
should be delivered to them beyond the fron
tiers of France. As the Oauloia says, it' was
as if the authorities had pulled down a lot of
houses built on speculation in the environs of
Paris, and then authorized the proprietor to
rebuild them somewhere out of France.
The author of the volumes, the Due d’Au
male, and his publisher, were not satisfied
with this generous concession, and appealed
to the law for redress. From the Tribunal of
First Instance to the Court of Cassation, and
from tbe Court of Cassation to the Council of
Btate, the case was carried, and every one of
these tribunals declined to interfere, on the
ground that the seizure of the volumes was a
purely administrative measure, and conse
quently not amenable to legal jurisdiction.
Such, it seems (Bays the LondoniVews), is
equality before the law in France. The
highest and the lowest functionary are alike
above the law. They can only be prosecuted
by permission of the Council of State, which
is itself an administrative body. Tuereupon
the eminent legal advisers of Due d’Aumale
resolved to try the question as one purely and
Bimply of stolen property, and drew up an
opinion to that effect, which appears to have
attracted the notice of the Government. At
any rate, the present Minister of the Interior,
M. Forcade de la Roquette, has suddenly re
stored the Bheets to M. Michel Levy, and has
offered a certain sum in compensation for the
damage caused by their six years’ sequestra
tion.
It was understood that the two confiscated
volumes only brought the history down to
the end of the seventeenth century, and that
there could be nothing in them calculated to
give umbrage to the House of the Bonapartes.
To this, however, it was ingeniously replied,
that M. de Persigny’s “historic conscience”
had probably looked forward to a later date
in the “History of the House of Condfi”— to
the date of the death of the Due d’Eughien in
the fosse of Vincennes, by order of the First
Napoleon.
—An editor in New Hampshire says that the
recent auroral display of Thursday evening was
as if “some celestial mercer had unrelled two or
three dozen pieces of silk ol the most beautiful

SARATOGA WATER.
A STAR
SPRING,
SARATOGA, NEW YORK.
The analysis proves that the waters of the
SARATOGA STAR SPRINGS
have a much larger amount of solid substance, richer in
medical ingredients than any other spring in Saratoga,
and shows what the taste Indicates—namely, that it is the
BTRONGEBT WATER.
It also demonstrates that the STAR WATER contains
about
100 Cubio Inches More of Gas
in a gallon than any other spring. It is this extra amount
of gas that impaitß to this water its peculiarly sparkling
appearance, and renders it so very agreoahle to the taste*
it also tends to preserve the dolidons flavor oi the water
when bottled, and causes It to uncork with an efferves*
ence almost equal to Champagne.

CH AMPION SAFES
UNSUCCESSFUL BURGLARY.
LETTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWS <& CO.
New York, April 10,1869.
Herring, Parrel & Sherman, No. 251 Broad
way.
Gents : On.the night of the 22d uIL, our store,
No. ; 20 South street, was entered, and A desperate
attempt made by burglars upon one of your safes
in otir counting-room.
The koyto the sale in which we kept onr se
curities was locked inside of our flre-pntof book
safe, the doors, of which wero literally cut to
pieces; from this they obtained the feov to the
other safe and opened it. Fortunately wo had one
of yonr Bnrglar-Froof Bankers’ Chests inside, In
which our valuables were deposited. This they
went to work at with a will, and evidently used
up all their time and tools in vain attempts to
force It. The night was dark and stormy, and
the fact of their knownig where onr key was
kept shows that their plans wore well ma
tured. They tried wedging tho door and body of
the Chest, and tho faithful safe bears evidence of
tho labor and eklll devoted to tho work. Ail was
useless, and it Is with great satisfaction we repot!
that upon opening it we found our securities all
safe, and can therefore cheerfully indorse tho
Burglar-Proof work recommended by you.
You will please send the now safe purchased by
ns to our connllng-bonse, and take the old one
to show that some safes are still manufactured
worthy of tho name. David & Co.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
gravated by the scrofu
lous contamination until
they wore painfttlly afflicting, bavo been radically
cured in euch great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to
bo Informed of Its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfc-lt
tenant of thoorganism undermines the constitution,
and Invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal disease;,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubot
clea may bo suddenly deposited In the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed In tho liver, or it shows
its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer
ations on some part of the body. Hence the occa
sional use of a bottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad
visable, even when no activo symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following.com
plaints generally find Immediate relief, and, at
length, cure, by the use of this BARBAFARJ 1.-
LA: St. Anthony’s Fire, Rose or Erysipelas,
Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald llead, = Rlngu:orm,
Sore Eyes, Bore Ears, and other eruptions or
visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the
more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia,
and the various Ulcerous ouccuo’nß of the muscu
lar and nervous systems.
' Syphilis or Venereal ana BTercurlal Diseases
arc cured by it, though a tong time is required for
subduing theso obßtinatc maladies by any medicine.
ivufe .vuuuuei use or this medicine will cure
the complaint. Lcveorrhcea Or Whites, Uterine
Ulcerations, and Female Diseases, are com
monly soon relieved and ultimately cured by m,
puriiying and invigorating effect- Minute Direc
tions for each case are found ia our Almanac, sup
plied gratis. Rheumatism and Gotti, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
in tiic blood, yield quickly to it, as also River
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflam
mation of tho XAver, and Jaundice, when arising,
as they often do, from the rankling poisons in tho
blood. This SARSAPARILLA is a great re
storer for the strength and vigor of tho system.
Those who are Languid and Listless, Despon
dent, Sleepless, ana troubled with Nervous Ap
prehensions or Fears, or any of the affections
symptomstio of Weakness, will find immediate
relief and convincing evidence of its restorative
power upon trial.

BLESSING IN DISGI/188.
Mine eyes. were • stiffened with tho last, night’s
tears, : : V ‘
And my brow ached too heavily to weep,
Opprcet with sorrow, past and future fears,
Too weary to wake—too sad to Bleep.
With listless hand I drew, away tho blind
To look where lay tho morning dull.and gray,
I heard no whisper of the cold night wind,
I eaw do gleam to chaßC tho gloom away.
■Spread'like a morning veil on every hill
Hung cheerless mist, through which tho dark
dawn crept; ,
Tbo raindrops on the trees lay cold and still,
Like tears of one who In hlB sleep hath wept.
Sadly I turned and lay me down again.
Till sorrow’s leaden trance my sense did steal,
As those who, lulled by very strength of pain,
Forget their ppiu awhUe, and cease to feel.
So passed the hours away, and I awoke;
While I slept the world had traveled on—
The damp mist rolled away, the morning broke,
And, pouring radiance forth, uprose the sun.
Tho purple hills were tinged with living light,
Tho grass was waving in tho morning breeze.
Like spurkliDg gems the raindrops of the night
in rninbow showers were glittering from the
tries.
Then my heart melted too, and the deep gloom
Passed like the dreary morning mist away :
Tho sun shone warm and bright into my room,
And I rose up from my dull trance to pray.
O God, most merciful! ’Us ever so ;
While thankless man feels bat the present
pain,
And lie* steeped in the wearlnces of woo,
Tby step is drawing near to heal again.
Then teach us, Lord, to feow beneath the rod,
Even for tho chastisement to love the more,
To trust the mercy of the loving God,
And In the very blow His hand adore.
Bo shall wo walk through ear life’s choquerod
lts noontide heat, Its evening blight,
Till the last hour of gloom’ Bhall pass away,
And leave us to awake In endless light.

Strangs Freak of a somnaiu tint lei.
IFrcm the Galena (IIL) Gazette, AprtH.l
We give below the facts in one of the most
remarkable cases of somnambulism that we
have ever been called upon to chronicle. A
gentleman, in whose veracity we have
thorough confidence, furnishes ub with the
following; •
“I was passing along Bench street last
night at about 11.30. When near Hill street
I saw a strange spectre mounted on the back
of a dark bajt horse. The animal was mov
ing at a very alow pace, which gave me an
opportunity of scanning the remarkable ap
parition. It was a woman in white. As the
horse, moving along at a snail-like pace,came
opposite to me, I took in at a glance the en
tire situation. I recognized the face of the
rider. It was Miss .well known in Ga
lena. Her eyes were wide open. They seemed
to be gazing at nothing. Her hair hung over
her shoulders and down her back. The horse
moved along without being guided by
his rider. My first impulse was to make a
noise, but fearing that a sudden awakening
would throw her into a fit of hysterics, I con
cluded to follow this ghostly rider and thus be
at hand prepared to avert any danger that
might threaten. The horse moved down
Bench street to Spring, turning the corner of
Spring street he swnngaround into Main
street At the corner of Washington street, a
boy, catching sight of the remarkable phe
nomenon, became bo badly frightened that he
begatt'Jiowling piteously. I hastened to the
side of\he young lady, who, as I had antici
pated, was awakened by this fearful scream
ing She lost her balance and would, no
doubt, have fallen to the ground if I had not
caught her In my arms. I eeoured the horse
and conducted the young lady, amid blnsheß
and explanations, to her home.”
The horse .belonged in a stable situated in
the immediate vicinity of the lady’s home.
He had been placed in the stable that evening
and securely fastened with a stout halter.
How the sleeper gained accesß to the stable
and liberated and mounted the animal, is a
mystery that perhaps never will be explained.
Fltz-Oreeue HatlocH.
Among the notable people who visited New
York in 1837,was a well-mannered but some
what silent young man, who was landed at
Norfolk, Va., from a French frigate; in the
month of March, and upon whose cards was
engraved Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.
During his' two months'- sojqurn in New
York, Hailed! became tvoll ' acquainted with
him, meeting “the,, pretender to the French
•crown," as he was i then styled, often In sob
riety, and having a seat next to the Prince at
a large dinner party given by Chancellor
JKent. Times change, says the Latin proverb,
and persons change with them. How aston-
ished old George the Third- would have been
had any one shown in a mirror, like that of
Cdrneliua Agrippe,6uch a vision of the future
as his grand-daugliter being on a visit to the
nephew of a man whom, in his day English
satirists were accustomed 5 to ridicule as “a
little Corsican soldier!” Relating to the poet
my having seen Victoria leaning on the arm
of: Louis Napoleon as they entered, with
Eugenie and Prince Albert, the Grand Opera
at Paris, he remarked: *• ’Tis indeed strange.
I thought him a dnll fellow, which he cer
tainly was while among men, but sprightly
enough when surrounded by young ladies.
He would sometimes say, ‘when I shall be at
the bead of affairs in France,! or ‘when I
become Emperor,’and I then looked upon
him as being as mad as a March hare, or as
my poor friend McDonald Clarke.” To Alfred
Pell he said of the Prince, that he
was “a rather dull man of the order
of Washington." A lady friend of
the poet remembers Mr. Halleck de
scribing hiin as “a person who never looks
you in the face, and who always drops his
eye if an individual, in taming suddenly, de
lects him looking at you;” adding, on her
own part, that “the Emperor still has the
same disinclination to looking any one square
in the face.” The poet and prince exchanged
diDDers, the latter dining with Halleck at
Villegrand’s, while he waß entertained by
Louis Napoleon at the City Hotel. When
Napoleon became Emperor, and confessedly
the first statesman in Europe, until his
laurels as such were somewhat dimmed by
the Prussian Bismarck, the poet was often
asked for letters of introduction to his Im
perial friend, but, with his characteristic
diffidence, declined obtruding, himself upon
the notice of the Emperor, who, however, to
this day, retains a kindly remembrance of his
poet friend. — Wilson's Life of Halleck.
