At no period 6(l' fashionable 'society been so brilliant' in i'New (Menus ns Ith the winter of 1815. !-Those familiarvith it then have not forgotten a young Cuban belle who reigned an neltntledged queen of society.

' Indeed, few suck women us Nina Br tliitto are met with in a lifetime. ,The rrcly beanty'of the tropics was hers. Tall and quipilly, , the majestic figure wjts , fittiltlOsS in, Willowy outline Mid ?yin*. try. There was a , namelei.s gracit everything she said and did. The bitge black eyes were lustrous, fathomless, and the piirplish black hair, liing and shining ) Weald have rivalled the Mythi• cal tresses of Berenic . l3 herself. She had the happy faculty, of E 0 dispensing - smiles that, while over surrounded witlva num. kir of admirers, each supposed himself the special object ,of attentiPii. She never permitted herself to inifnlge 'thu foibles of the coquette—ifeverteassumed the :variable and frivolous eccentricities of the flattered beauty i but always cour teous, alwais seemingly pleased with at tention?, she. never failed to exert an all controlling influence over her admirers., Om) person, however, seemed to be es• peeially singled qut as an' object of pecn• liar favor. It was a young creole named Paul Connet. All the arts of the prac• ticed woman of the world—all the fasci nations none other knew better how to use were brought to bear on a heart al ready passionately in love. But at times, when ho left, the'elose observer might note a cod glitter in the dilating eye, a fierce compression of the lip that argued 'any other sentiment titan love. But if this emotion, seen for an instant, was in dicative of hate, it Was strongly belied at bar next reception. I 'I Itumor had it that they would.marry. Tho Cuban, deaf to all other solicitafioo, it was said, yielded her heart to the young Creole. So the winter passed, and the balmy spring and the flowers wore near. Of evenings they were 80011 strolling along the avenues, enjoying the murmur of the leaves, and the' perfume from lawns blooming with roses, and whispering of the wedding clay, ono evening he ro• turned from one of their interviews, strangely affected. A dull, chilly torpor had been creeping over him for months. Whenever ho bad been in the presence of the Cuban he left it with a flower or bon• quct, and the strange languor doubly in creased. But this evening it hall grown intense, and a faint like death came ovel him. That night he died 1 The strong man died in agony. Every ►nuscle and nerve thrilled with anguish. The brain felt like fire, and burning cools scoa►ed to - scorch and wither mind and sense ; And when his reason fled under, the torture 'Of the strange'dlsease, he "raved of a fair young girl ho lad ruined years before—a youPg Cuban girl, ,who loved forgot her faith and all the wealth of ‘iirtue for lore of him. ITo raved of her tt►e betrayed, but said no word of the stranger to whom so'fild'apd heart were given.. And even a rumor went out into the city that he had been poisoned. Mr. I-- and myself were sent for to investigate the ease. It was a curious ono and full of many mys• tots. °thing was bid from us. Ilia f?mile submitted everything to our inspection. A correspondence of many years : { every event connected with his life was hunted =I One day I fell on a bundle of old let ters. They were from a lady. Beading them, I learned tlie.story of the young girl of whom he raved, The last' letter i t was written by another and, and said that she bad died. I6v s a sister who wrote; and a vague three in the „Niter promised retribution. Somehow the thought occurred to me that the Cuban beauty then in the city wroto ,this letter. The more I thought of it the deeper the impression grew. - Some way I possessed myself of some of her writings. It was the same. Allowing for the lapse of time, one could readily detect that both were' written by - the same person. - Here was :a due. It did not require much siad.city to discover tho agent by . whom his death was procured-now. But there was another essential-- I had no roof. To a detective my conclusions were sufficient; but a jury 'would !tot connect the . linksi had traced, out, wit/f -ont other evidence. And rbeside' I I bad growirstrangely loath 'to prosecute the case, The girl was right, I thought , — She 'tad used a subtle weapon for re venge, but could her weak hands have used a different one? -- lie bad brought ruin and death on one r she loved; oho had brought rein and death' On, him. Months ,- slipped mbar in this - useless struggle, and the, criminal:lA 'left for her home. T he ,uni rf ier mile ankient, and 'I watched' 'eagerly - tiii her I.epirn. But' she never came.

The terlible effects of the fire Q ra rogi• ment nrinekl with breech loaders shows that the only,ktbod of preventing the total annihilation of the opposing force is to' thoroughly instruct troops in the art of rapidly improvising defences, A 1 •1 though every tree, bush,,lnd,large stone, 1 1 4 well Its the i unduititionti of,thc ground cover,` yet to only matini to in terpose an artificial parapet is to quickly throw up a hank with ditches; or dig a large ritle•pit. The soldiers must, them fore, learn bow to defend, themselves by the use of the spade. This branch of military - education is - Carefully taught to the French troops, but in England very little instruction on tho subject is given. The French method of entrenching field artillery is described, its follows : The battery having been drawn up in line, a distance of ECV'ell feet is Inhrked out on either side of the muzzle of each gun, and a breadth of three feet three inches is measured to the front, • On this long rectangle of fourteen feet by three feet three inches for each• gun, a -para pet:— is built up, the mirth for which is obtained from a ditch, three feet three inches in width and in depth,alug in the front. At each extremity of the face, an epaulment, twelve feet long, and of similar dimensions,' is built nt right angles to the earth parapet, but 01(61401 is made in the interior of the work. Ex periMent:3 were recently made in England in reference to this method of entrench• ing, and the parapets for two, gutis ro• (inked an hour for their construction. On the other hand, it I stated that the protection was not as complete as that obtained by4mtrenehing the guns hi a pit with a parapht three feet high "in front and flank,„an operation which was ne• complished in half an hour. 86, too, it is asserted, that the space %vithit the en ,trenehments on the French plan hi too limited, and that the gun; wh e n directed so as to deliver a , divergent fire, - recoils into the flank ditches, Experiments are being' conducted at Woolwieh to ascertain the most effective methods to protect troops in the open field, and theresults, when announced, _will cbuvey very valu able information on the Subject; of which - the officers in the V. service should avails-thernselves, IZAI'ACITY Of' eltoCol)ll,KB.—The cura tor of a museum at Agra, India, gives the following list of articles found in the stomach of a crocodile captured tear Agra; About a dozen largelpinebes, pel lets, of hair probably, human; sixty. eight rounded pebble stones, averaging in size from nearly three inches •to ono inch in diameter; , ono large ankle bangle ring of mixed metal ; twen ty-four fragments of various sizes, ofglais armlet rings, called "ehuries ;" five bronze finger rings ; ono small' sliver neck-charm,'conaisting of a small defaced silver doin, with a metal loop, for sus pension, attached to it ; PO' gold bead, abotiNne-third of =an inch sgtiar,o ; ono largish bead, of black stone veined with white, - and thirty small red necklace heads, --lA. despatch from Richmond, Va., mates that trouble io brewing hi North Carolina, on the subject of inixed schools.
