or one Of Bonsparte's wives-the ex-
mistress OF Batras-and present discarded
Josephine, we had the following account a
lew years ago, extracted from French
work, published in October, 1908.
Madame Napoleon never puts on any
plain gown twice, and she changes her
dress four or six times every day. In the
summer she makes use Of four dozen ofsiIk
stockings, and three dozen Of gloves and
shoes and ia the winter she uses three
dozen Of the best English cotton stockings,
and two dozen OF French silk stockings ev-
cry week. She never wears any washed
stockings nor puts on twice the same pair Of
gloves and shoes. All her chemises are
OF the finest cambrick, with borders OF lace
that cost ten louis d'ors each six dozen Of
chemises with lace, are made up for her
every month. Every three months she
exchanges her diamonds and jewels, or has
them newly set according to the prevalence
81 fashion. -Four times in The year her
plate, china, furniture, tapestry hanging,
carpets &C. are changed according TO the
seasons She had ordered as her regular
establishment, two new carriages and
twelve different horses every month; and of
of the thirty six horses in her stable, the
master OF the horses has power to dispose
oftwelve every three decades, to be replaced
bv twelve Others Of fashionable color.
Twelve times in The year, all persons be-
longing 10 her household receive new ac-
cou,rcments or lveries. Her own ward
robe is divided every thirty days, between
her maids of honor.
I" Madame Napoleon has four distinct
established wardrobes, different diamonds,
&c for travelling, for The TuiIleries, for
ST. Cloud and Malmaison; and though she
cannot reside but 10 one place at the same
time, in the Tuiileries as well as at ST.
Cloud and MamaisoD, four changes of
furniture, &c. are always ordered for the
same period. Al St. Cloud she has at the
the expence of thousands OF louis impro-
we'd the bathing cabinet of the late unlortu-
nate queen. BY touching certain springs,
she can command what perfumes her ca
price demands 10 mix with the waier, the
reservoir always containing for fifty louis
d'ors, the finest odours and hes; perlumed
waters, by handling other springs, she cons
mands the appearance Of drawings, or other
pictures, elegant or volnptuous, gay or
lihertne, as her fancy desires. When she |
wishes 10 leave the bath, at the signal of a |
bell, she, is by a mechanical invention. |
lifted without moving herself from the |
bathing machine, into an elegant, moder-'
ately warm, and perlumed bed, where she
is dried in two minutes; and from which |
she is lifted and laid down upon a spIended
elastic sofa, moved without her stirring,
by another piece Of mechanism, into an adj
oining cabinet Tor her toilet, for which the
furniture and decorations cost the sum of
100000 ivers. For the improvements
only OF her luxurious. though less expensive
boat cabinet, at The TuiIleries and at
the French republic has paid
200, 900 livres."

2Sd Dec. 1889.
Sir,--The Legislature of this State meets
on the LIST of next month. The Governor
IS already here and we expect 10 have
stormy session, one remarkable for its vigoT
and energy in all matters relating 10 The
disputed territory. There exists all over
Maine feeling oil deep indignation, which
is on the eve of breaking or on account Of
the military occupation Of Madawaska and
Timscouata by Great Britain, in violation
OF the agreement between Sir John HaT'
vey and General Scott.
We may expect very soon some dgni-
the measure. Every thing seems TO indl-
cate rupture, and this feeling seems pre-
valent even at Washington. Meanwhile
the Governor Of this State, the Legislature
and the whole population will not give
way before The hostile attitude oil me
English government; but on the contrary,
at dnyrisk, they are determined to repel the
insults OF foreign power, who has taken
possession Of the disputed territory conlTs-
~ 70 its former pledges. o
From all that we can learn WAX
between the United States and England Is
INEVITABLE. The British govern
ment is evidently preparing for II, and al
their proceedings for six months past arc
rather warlike. The two last years have
gathered large quantities Of combusIiOs
matter between the ST. Lawrence ana
the coast of the Atlantic,-a single spa'N
will set the whole in blaze. Let Us hope
that providence which watches over 'bs
destinies Of individuals and Of the nations,
will render the events that are TO be very
soon developed, propitious TO the cause o.
liberty and disastrous 10 tyrabts.

hibu The same favorable aspect which was
presented in my last annual message, and

cessors.--The extraordinary powers vested
in me by an act If Congress, for the de-

sidered SO far probable as to require that

government for its consideration. A Just re-
gard TO the delicate state Of this question,
and proper respect for the natural impa-
thence Of the state of Maine, not less than
a conviction that a negotiation has been

on the part of either government, have led
