THE EMPRESS AND THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.—'
Sunday, being the Empress's birthday, or rather
fete, for it was the St. Eugenie, there was a grand dinner
at the Chateau, illuminations in the Park, which was
thrown open to and thronged by the public, and later in
the evening amateur theatricals, in which two or three
short one-act pieces, composed for the occasion,were played
by some of the guests present. In one to f these a part had
been reserved for the young Prince Imperial, who performed
it very creditably, although evidently struggling
against a
certain amount of timidity, which is a feeling he appears
.to
throw aside completely when riding on his little pony in
the woods of Compeigne. Some very pretty verses) set t°,
music by two of the guests, in honour of the fair heroine °`
the day, were sang with much entrain, all the amateurs
who had taken part in the evening's performances, stand-
ing on the little stage, and joining in the chorus at the end
of each couplet. The Empress seemed greatly pleased, and
was looking on that evening younger and more lovely than
usual. She wore a transparent white muslin dress spangled
with silver, on each breadth of which ran, from the waist
downwards, a narrow band of green velvet ending in knots,
fastened with diamonds. A. small toque, or cap of green
velvet, embroidered with diamonds, and ornamented with a
diamond aigrette, was placed on her head, and a string of
pearls fastened round her throat, a locket and cross, com-
posed of emeralds and diamonds. Simple as this dress was,
it attracted universal admiration, and did the grace and
kindness with which the Empress did the honours of the
fete. The Princess Anna Murat, who is remarked to be a
special favourite with the Empress, was dressed in white
muslin, trimmed with blue, with bouquets of forget•rae-
nets, and a parure of turquois and pearls.

MALIDSLAY, THE MECHANIST.—As the con-
noisseur in art will exclaim, at sight of a picture,
" That is Turner," or "That is Stansfield," detecting the
hand of the master in it: so the experienced mechanician,
at sight of one of his machines or engines, will be equally
ready to exclaim, "That is Maudslay;" for the character-
istic style of the master-mind is as clear to the experienced
eye in the case of the finished machine as the touches of
the artist's pencil are in the case of the finished picture.
What Oxford and Cambridge are in letters, workshops

as Whitworth, Nasmyth, Roberts, Muir, and Lewis are of
their connexion with the school of Maudslay. One of mi..
Maudslay's old workmen when informing us of the skilful
manner in which he handled the file, said, "It was a
pleasure to see him handle a tool of any kind, but he was
quite splendid with an 18-inch file."—Samuel Smiles.

TBahrutlrestdr,acyame to Aldershott, by his own statement, to have
an interview with his wife, who has been living there as tt
prostitute for some time. He found her at the house of a
Mrs. Niel, and appeared to be on pretty good terms with
her. He had been in the house about two hours when it
was suggested that she and several other persons who were
there should go and have something to drink at the Tra •
falgar beerhouse. They accordingly proceeded there, and
three of them entered the beershop. Bartlett, his wife, and
another person remained outside. Suddenly, and without
any remark, Bartlett seized his wife and threw her down.
She cried "Murder I" and on the bystanders raising her up
a pool of blood was discovered on the ground. It was found
that her throat was frightfully cut. Medical men were ill"
mediately sent for. The first who arrived was Dr. School-
braid, a surgeon residing in the town. Shortly afterwards
Dr. Fortieth, of the Royal Dragoons, was in attendance. It
was then found that the woman's throat was cut in three
places; one wound had partially severed the jugular vein
and also the windpipe, The medical men succeeded in tying
one of the principal arteries, but there appears, from the con"
dition of the woman at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, to be
not the faintest hope of her recovery. Bartlett was immedi-
ately secured, and a razor stained with blood was found
within a few yards of the spot where the woman had fallen.
On the way to the police station the prisoner said if his wife
died ho should die happy, as he came down with the intela.•_
tion to do for her. He also said he should ask the favour of
being allowed to go back to Devonshire, his native counth
to be executed. He is about 27 or 28 years of age.
