On the declaration of war against Prussia, both -ie Cussagnac aud Jlitchell t&rew down their ins for the sword, and enrolled tltenitarlves as vol unteers in tiie First zouave. Both were personally known to the Emjieror Napoleon III, who saw them almost every day, and now these two distin- jruished authorities have come forward to traverse the inference suggested by M. Eruile Zola in "La Debacle" that Xapoleou 111 at Sedan had resorted to a cosmetic to imjiiirt iinii.-ttural rosiuesa to Lis coiuj.ltxii'ii. M. Zula descriues the uijK-rr as having glowing cheeks, and .!.ls, 'A.-surH.liv he had hu f.K-e paint ed." M. de Cassauac has emp!uttic;illy etated that during his ce us-ociatun with Napoleon before the liattle Le iiever noticed a trace of paint on the imperial countenance, and in this deuuj lie is corrolwrated by M. Robert Milch ell, who declares his certainty that the then ruler of the French oiJe used no pigment whatsoever during the opera tions leading to the capitulation of ielan. The question, although intrinsically r.ui!i:ortant, is very curiuas, inasmuch as this is not the first time that the change of complexion of the son of Oietn Hortense bus lxm made a mat ter of public discussion. The anony wons writer of that most eutertiiiniuj medley, "The Eiili.shman in Paris," who first met Prince Louis Naoleon at the Ilotel tiu RUiu.

Provukiniy enough the Eng lishman Las nothing to say touching the prince" complciion at this stage of his career. The late Jlr. Kinglite Las, on the other hand, a Kivat deal to state touch ing the facial hue of the third Napoleon. In his prologue to the history of the Crimean war the writer decriles the emperor as apt, on days of great peril, to turn facially green, and on this cir cumstance Le founded the opinion that the emjieror, either at the period of the conp d'etat or on subsequent occasions as momentous, did not, so far as could be judged from Lis apiearance, suggest the conclusion that he was a man of ex ceptional courage. It is said, indeed, that when Napoleon III read the first volume of Mr. Kingluke's history Le observed with a smile to one of his con fidants, "This," pointing to the sea green passage, "must Lave been written by a woman," and anti-English French jonr- naliste of the period did not scruple to insinuate that Mr. Kinglake's strictures on the persoual appearance of the em peror were due to the inspiration of an Egeria well knowa in Parisian society, who hated the third emperor as bitterly as the first one had been detested bv lime. De ttat-L The authority, however, of the Listo rian of the Crimean war was naturally bo highly valued in England that the ftory of the emperor turniug green on days of battle or revolution obtained universal credence, and to some extent it was used to bulstT uu the absurd ac cusation of H-rsonaI cowardice which the ultra republicans constantly brought gainst their imperial foe. It remained for an illustrious English surgeon, not long deceased, to point out the indubita ble verity th.it a man has no command j . , . i . . . over nis oiooa, aunougn oy me exercise of his will he Las every command over Lis muscles. Meanwhile it must be frankly admitte-d that in circumstances of emergency the features of Napoleon 111 aid assume a peculiar hue. The cjlor was certainly not ruddy, nor was it swarthy or sallow; it was a curious leaden gray. But that such a leaden gray Lad nothing to do with the emperor's capacity for incurring danger without wavering there is on recxrd first the observation of the distinguished Eng lish medical man to whom allusion Las been made, and next to the personal tes timony not by any means exclusively that of MM. ue Cassagnac and Mitchell of people who Lad constantly len close to the emjieror, and who had ob served Lis physical mice frum the eariv ftages of Lis care-er to its mournful and inglorious close. He was undoubted v as brave as Lis uncle, the Hreat Napo leon, who. ly the way, was frequently accused in the English press of being an at'ject coward. r-i i , - . x ue u.irum scarum au vent ore ol ,M ras burg and tho madcap escapade at Bou logne showed that poltroonery was ik.t aiming Lis shortcomings, and although Jlr. Kinglae would have us believe Napoleon 111 turned green at tSolferino and Magenta, there is plenty of evideuce from eye witnesses who were near to the emjieror throughout those moment ous battles to show that whatever tint the face of the emperor took, it was cer tainly not a verdant one. As to Sedan there is the further testimon v cf Princess Mathilde, who declares that she never told any one that the emperor was iu the habit of using cosmetics. Since the appearance of M. Zola's statement sho Las questioned jiersons who were at the battle and they all assert that "the leg end is .-ebsolutelv false." The princess adds, "1 cannot believe that, eveu with a good intention, Le could have eni- juoyed that actor's trick under such grave circumstances. "London Te-le-era Close Observers sf Nature.

The Freemasons Lave resolved to take a more energetic part in tiolitica. At the last assembly in the Lail of the grand orient of France tho conduct of certain members tru discussed who had shown a disposition to act with the. Clericals. Masonic deputies were censured for vot ing endowments to church institutions. There were several protests, some con tending that it was too sot in to insist upon the separation of church and state, as that would make the Radical party unpopular. These protests were hooted down, and several Masons thereupon re tired from te order. Carried on by this same spirit the Masons passed a resolu tion to vote for all reforms "necessary for the final evolution of the republic," for the separation of church and state, for the suppression of the public worship system and i f the embassy to the Vati can, and that each Mason should have a civil funeral. There was a general icsistance upon the confute secularization of every public institution, tho removal of reli gious emblems from every court Louse and street corner, and the suppression of chaplaincies ia barracks, ships, prisons and hospitals. Paris Letter. hj KovelUts Do Not Write Play. Ouida has contributed an article to the series being printed in the Pall Mall Gazette on the subject of why novelists do not write plays. She says that the French style ailows a wider latitude in situations. A French audience appreci ates an intellectual character and esprit of the play which an English audience finds unintelligible and tiresome. Ouida adds that if Racine and Moliere were alive they would write plays for Mounet Sully and the Coquelins. Were Shakespeare and Sheridan alive they would certainly write poems and novels. An audience capable of accepting Mary Anderson as a tragic actress is incapable of knowing good from bud. English audiences are uncultured. With few exceptions En lish actors and actresses act ill. They never merge themselves into the char acter they represent. These, according to Ouida, are the reasons that Lave kept writers of eminence off the Englnh stage since the days of Lytton. A Precious Pusny. A certain young woman of this town who dotes on cats was made the happy possessor not lcrig ago of a cat which was rescued from a sinking vessel in midocean. Sailors Lave a superstition that a cat reocaed at sea becomes a mas cot This particular cat was the List living creature to leave the foundertd bark Alumbagii, from which the life boat of the steamship La Chain pa gna took off sixteen men on the morning cf Aug. 22. There was great competition among the passengers on La Champagne to obtain'the cat, but a gentleman with a persuasive tongue and a long purse, who knew of the aforementioned young woman's bobby, secured the animal and presented it to her.

It cannot be doubted that the popular ity of matrimony has materially de clined in recent years, and that a kind of general hesitancy secnis to prevail re specting the negotiation of such alli ances. There was atimewhen the young people of the country hastened to pair themselves with birdlike eagerness and delight as soon as they were out of school, and society not only encouraged them, but practically commanded them to take that course. They were con sidered superfluous and burdensome un til they got married. The true work of life could not begin with them, they were taught, so long as they remained single. It was their duty to become yoked without unnecessary delay, and it was a disgrace to miss reasonable oppor tunities in that relation. But it is de cidedly, different at the present day. The practice of wedlock is no longer im perative, nor does discredit attend the nnmated state, even when prolonged in to the thirties. There is as much ad vice given against marriage as in favor of it by the wise and experienced of both sexes, and the result is a steady de crease ia the proportion of actual weddings to possible ones. The causes which have produced this marked change are not sufficiently def inite for satisfactory analysis. It ia probably true that our extravagant style cf living as compared with that of former times is one of the effective influences. The cost of supporting a wife and rais ing a family is much larger than it used to be, and this feature of the matter often gives pause on both sides. We have come to measure so many other things by money that matrimony has not escaped the rule. The young people arc disinclined to start in a humblo way and gradually improve their situation. They want all that their parents Lave without waiting and striving for it. Many proposals are unquestionably de layed or rejected on this account. Then it is well known that the new avenues c-f employment open to women Lave made them more independent, and probably also more exacting as to the qualifications cf husbands. It is not nearly so common as it once was for girls to marry simply ia o jer to secure a home and a living; they are able now to earn good wages and to take their time about assuming the duties of wives and mothers. We may safely believe, moreover, that the progress of women in education and in social power has led them to look less favorably upon the connubial condition by subordinating their hearts to their Leads, so to speak. And finally it cannot but be that the abundance of criticism to which the marriage system has been snbjected by writers of pronounced vigor and skill Las served to weaken it in the popular estimation, and to disjiarage the quality of sacredness that is iu highest churn to respect and honor. There is no reason as yet, however, to lament the prevailing tendency as a national misfortune. The amount of marrying is still large enough for all ordinary purposes, and it may be that less rather f ian more of it would best promote the interests of society. Such unions should be formed with some other ol ject than that of merely propa gating the species. They involve the most serious obligations and responsi bilities of human lif e, and if people are learning to be slow and careful about making contracts of so much impor tance it is Lardly a sign of decay or a threat of calamity. St. Louis Ulobe DeuiocraL A Quaint Old Austrian Custom. The quaint old Austrian custom of a bride being cant off, as it were, by her countrymen when she takes to herself a foreign husband, was an interesting fea ture at the recent marriage of the Arch duchess Louise of Tuscany. The arch duchess entered the church followed by a long train of royal and noble Austrian ladies. They stood in a semicircle around her until the moment the bride groom placed the ring upon her finger; then they turned and left her, for 6he was no longer a countrywoman of theirs. For a moment the princess stood alone unattended; then a u umber of Saxon ladies ranged themselves behind ber she had become a Saxon. At the marriage of Marie Antoinette, this custom, why h in her case was ob served only on the French frontier, had a pathetic denouement. When the Aus trian ladies attempted to leave the new Dauphiness of France she refused to be left, aud as if foreseeing what her fate would be in her adopted country clung to them and entreated them to take her back to Austria again. Actual force had to be used to separate her from her i-tttn-laiits. Paris Letter. Slanj Questions but for Mirrors. It is doubtful whether men would gain as much time as women would by tho hiss of mirrors. Aside from the fact that they don't have the chance to spend so much time at their looking glasses as women do (if they did you may be sure they would), it is likely that a man would have to stand as a kind of substi tute for the mirror in Lis wife's toilet.

New York Sua. Irikh pie nd Informers. The recorded emoluments of these Lisa infuttaers were enormous. As to their indirect profiu it would be idle to speculate. One Remolds, a spy of very secondary importance, received on March 4, 1799, a sum of 3,000 from the secret service money, and was further gratified with a secret pension of sonie tandreds a year. He afterward ob tained the office of British postmaster ft Lisbon, the emoluments of which amounted daring his four years of serv ice to nearly .'6.000. He was subse quently appointed to more than one well paid consulship, and at lensth. re tiring in middle life from the public service of his country, he chose Paris as his final place of abode, an 1 ajoved bis pension to the day of Lis death, having arawn irom the exchequer of a hated government not less in all than 45,000. Armstrong is said to have received close oc 30,000 for hi information; and Magan, who took np the business as a needy barrister, left over 14,000 to his sister.
