dergone the shame of public degradation,
and ths prompt and terrible justice of q
military commission impended over his heed,
the hapless widow could think OF nothing
but her loss. She was therefore more asto-
nished than alarmed, when early on the
next morning a French aid-de-camp waited
waited upon her with request from the
commander in chief that she would repair
Immediately to the Hotel de Vile. Without
q word of inquiry or remonstrance she
arose, took her child in her arms, and fol-
lowed the messenger of the General.
Led to the council-chamber at the moment
of her arrival, Madame II. found herself
surrounded by all the glories of the repubi-
can army; by those celebrated men for
whom such wondrous destinies were re-
served; by whom crowns were to be won
and lost, and of whom, in after years, so
many were to lose on battle fields, amid the
intrigues of cabinets, or the corruptions of
court, the honor for which they now were
painting, or the lives they were now so
ready to peril in its winning. There were
Murat, Duroc, Lannes, Desaix, Masena,
Hoche and Bernadotte and in the midst of
them the general, who, with his arms folded
on his breast and his eyes fixed upon the
floor, walked slowly to and fro, as if in
deep and painful meditation.
On the entrance of Madame II. he stopped
abruptly-motioned her to be seated, and
then, after gazing moment upon the face
of her child, with a gentle smile of interest
and affection, resumed his walk. Madame
II. began to feel alarm. This unexpected
summons, this strange reception, the silence
that preyailed around her, all combined, first
to surprise and then 70 terrify her A vague
sensation of anxiety and fear oppressed her
heart, and she could not command her
nerves for the utterance of single word
that might call forth solution of her doubts.
All at once the roll of drum, at little
distance, startled her from her painful
reveries. 1t was quickly followed by
volley of musketry, and the general, pausing
in his walk, placed his hand upon her arm,
and led her to window, from which she
beheld, in the square below, the fearful
spectacle of military execution just &C
complished.
''Look, madam" he said, in a calm vet
impressive tone; ''the man whom YOU see
lying dead upon the ground was French
officer, whom his comrades in arms have
condemned to death for the assassination of
an Austrian, in city taken by assault"
He paused for moment, then glancipp
around upon the officers who stood near
them, he continued:
''You are at liberty to quit Ivree this
morning. General Desaix, whom l have
requested to be your escort, will answer to
the Republic for your safety. Farewell,
madam; report to Prince Charles what you
have seen of the justice maintained in the
French army"
This general, at that time first consul.
was afterwards the Emperor Napoleon.

The Capitol Grounds.

Every one who visits the parks in front
of the Capitol is delighted with them. They
are redelent with beauty; and have snever
appeared so perfectly delightful as they do
this season.
When the fountains that we have advo-
Gated in the Star, and the statues, and the
new walks, and more flowers, shall all be
introduced, the ground will be worthy of
the capitol and of the people who own it.
We would call attention to two facts that
exist with reference to the Western park,
from sense of duty to the public. One
fact is the conduct of some of the young
men who occupy the seats at certain hours.
They are in the habit of taking off their
coats, 1ounging on the settees, and smoking
segars, to the annoyance of the ladies and
children who frequent the grounds. viii
the gentlemen concerned take the hint?
Another fact is the thieving propensities
exhibited by certain ladies towards the flow
ers. We do not see how any real lady can
be guilty of taking these articles away.
They belong to the public, and no one has
right to carry them off, GA word to the
wise is sufficient"

took the IDENTICAL " company Of ladies' just
as they left the Executive Mansion. Mo-
Their tongue was expatiating largely on the
neglected condition of the Presidential
grounds, facing the South front, in which
she was vehemently joined by mother colo
ny, which awoke the long -slumbering wrath
Of mother country.
The whole bevy of fair DANES had now
reached the War Department, and were just
turning toward that of the Navy. We ex-
pected every moment to see an explosion.
But the dreadful catastrophe, we are truly
happy to say, was judiciously averted by
the kind interposition of mother in Israel,
backed up by the well known peaceful pro-
pensities of mother church.
We were about continuing with the now
reconciled coterie, on their way to call on
mother Hubbard and her dog, when we
were hailed by the devil for ''more copy ="

came away.

The Memrhis Convention.

The committee on Wednesday, 1.-THE
third day. reported resolutions in favor
of direct trade, the Pacific railroad, the
Tchuantepec route, manufactures, educa-
ton, and steamers from southern ports :;
an address to Congress concerning the
free navigation of the Oronoco, La Platte,
and Amazon rivers was also presented.
The following are the resolutions re-
garding the Pacific railroad:
LIST. Resolred, That railroad from the
Mississippi to the Pacific is demanded,
not only by commercial and individual
interests, but also by the interests Of the
whole nation.
Cd Resolred, That so soon as the SUR
veys recently ordered by Congress shall
be completed, the general government
should adopt such steps as shall insure
the completion Of the main trunk at the
earliest possible period.
Sd. Resolrsd, That, as the general
government is expected to construct but
one trunk, it should be located on the
route which scientific exploration shall
show to possess the greatest degree of adj
vancement in genial climate, fertility of
soil, cheapness Of construction, and &C
feasibility at all seasons from all parts Of
the Union.
4th. Resolred, That in the opinion of
this convention the General Government
should make liberal donations of the pub
lie lands to the different States, and to
those bordering on the Mississippi, so as
to enable all sections of the Union to con-
meet themselves with each other.
The first and second resolutions were
passed unanimously, but the third was
warmly debated. Mr.. Kaiser moved to
insert the word &" central" in regard to
the location of the road, which was lost
by ten States against one. Mr.. X. then
moved the insertion ofthe word q temper
ate," as regarded the climate, which was
agreed to. The resolutions, as amended,
were then unanimously passed.
Mr.. Thrasher offered a resolution re-
garding Cuba, which was lost, and the
convention adjourned till the afternoon.
At the evening session the other resolu-
tons of the committee were passed with
out material change, which occupied the
time until the hour. of adjournment.
The Hon. John Bell was expected 20
address the convention IN Thursday.
