seal taste and correctness ofcar for which the
inhabitants Of that part Of France are noted;
while, on the broad boulevard that traverses
the lower end Of the GlIee, a crowd Of recruits
whom the Consumption had recently called
under the colors, stood gazing In open-mouthed
asto1lshment and infinite delight at some rude.

under the trees, putting forth clouds Of TO.

open carriages, smart tiIburies, and dapper
hoTSemen were careerlng.
Among the various groups throngIng the
promenade was one which, in II yde Park or on
the Paris bouevards. would have attracted
some notice; but the persons composing il
were of class too common oflate years IN the
south of france TO draw upon them any atten-
ton from the loungers. The party in question
consisted of three men who, by their bTonZed
compilations, ragged mustaches, and sullen,
logged countenances, as we'll as their whole
air and tou1nure, were easily distinguishable an
belonging to the exiled and disappointed fac.
ton of the Spanish Pretender. Their thread"
bare costume still exhibited signs oil their late
military EMPLOYMENT, probably from lack oil
means to replace 1t by any other garments
The closely buttoned blue frock OF one OF them
stM had upon its shoulders the small lace
straps used to support The epaul9ts, and anoth-
er wore for head dress boina, with its large
starlike tassels of silver cord. The third and
most remarkable of the party, was a man IN
the prime of life and strength, whose counte.
nance bore the impress of every bad passion.
It was one of those faces sometimes seen IN
old paintings of monkish Inquisitors, on viewing
which, one feels inclined to suspect that the
artist has outdone and exaggerated nature.
The expression of the cold, CLASSY, gray eye
and thin, pale, compressed lips, was one of IN.
relenting cruelty; while The c0areely moulded
chin and jaw gave a sensual character to the
lower part Of the face. The scar OF sabre

natural appearance to that feature ne

IT was the moment of the shclt twilight that
in the south of France intervenes between day
and NIGHT. The Carlsts had reached the up.
per end of the walk, and turning round began
to descend it again three abreast, and with the
man who has been particularly described IN the
centre. On a sudden the latter stopped short
as though petriied where he stood hie
naturally sallow, became pale az
ashes, and, as if to save himself from ialling'
he clutched the arm of one OF his companions
with a force that made him vince again, while
he ga1ed with distended eyeballs on a man
who had halted within half-a-dozen PAGES OF
the Spaniards. The person whose aspect
produced this Medusa-hke effect upon the Car
list was man about thirty years otage, plainly
but elegantly dressed, and OF progressing
but somewhat sickly countenance, the lines OF
which were now working under the influence
of some violent emotion. sFhe only peculiarly
in his appearance was black silk band which
passing under ais chin, was brought up on both
sides Of the head, and fastened on the crown
under the hat.
