-hdI dIgdItt VI DuF1unuy, queen OF Ma
varre, was one of the most licentious wo-
men of time when licentiousness was
almost at its height in the French Court
She was one of those complying females,
who, like Catherine,
ecould repay each amatory look you lent
With interest," and in turn wont with rigor
To exact Of Cupid's b lis the full amount
Al sight, nor would permit you discount"
She was daughter of Robert the Soc
ond, Duke of Burgundy, by Anges,
granddaughter Of the French King, St.
Louis. In 1899 she was afinanced to
Louis le Hutin, but by reason of her ten
der age the marriage was postponed un-
til 1905. In addition to an extraordina-
ry share of beauty, she possessed great
deal of talent, and strong inclination
FOR pleasure. The licence she enioyed
in the midst of voluptuous Court IA
cilitated to her the means Of forming
amorous intrigues. She selected, as a
companion in her debaucheries, lady
Blanche, Countess of Marche, who was
also her sister-in-law These ladies had
for their lovers two brothers, Philip and
Gaultier d'Aunay or de Launay, gentle
men of Normandy, and as loosely con-
ducted as the intriguants.
The parties usually net at the Alb
hey of Maubuisson. Philip the Fair, the
reclining king, informed of their miscon-
duct, caused the Knights to be arrested.
and had them arranged for high treason.
They were condemned to be mutilated
and fayed alive. Their heads were af-
terwards cut off, and their bodys hung
up by the armpits, to serve as food for
birds of prey. This judgment was exc
cuted at Pontoise, 1915. Inquiries were
then instituted in order to discover all
the courtiers who had ever lived in IA
miliarity with the princesess. Many
persons were arrested, put to the torture,
and, on the slightest suspicion, senten-
ced to capital punishment Margaret
had her head shaved, (the punishment
of an adultress in that day. and was
shut up with Blanche in the Chauteau
Gaalard. But some months after her
lncarcerauons, she was strangled with a
napkin, by order of her husband. This
wretched woman had not attained her
twenty-sixth year when she was thus
brutally murdered. Her remains were
inferred in the Church de Cordeliers de
Fernom. Margaret had had a daughter
by Louis le Hutin, named Jeanne, who
was born on the 2Sth January, 1872
Jeanne was married in 1927 to Philip.
Comte D'Evreax, and succeeded to the
throne of Navarro, by the death, without
issue, of her uncle, Charles lie Bel. She
died at Contains, on the Sth of October.
l349, and was buried beside her father
in St. Denis. This princess had the
reputation of being one of the most virtu-
Gus, as well as one of the most witty wo-
man of her age.

WILD RACE OF LoCoMoTIvE.-The
Cincinnati Commercial of the 3lst ulti-
mo, tells the following story:
A few minutes past 10 O'Clock yester-
terday morning collision occurred on
the Miami road, at Milford There was
no loss of life, but the circumstances we're
quite remarkable. There had been an
unusual heavy fall of snow previous, by
which the track became heavy, and all
the trains fell behind time. The mail
train coming into the city was some thir-
ty-hve minutes behind time at the Mil
ford station, where it is due at 9,25.-
Conductor Osgood was on the platform
helping the ladies to and from the cars,
when the whistle Of the Hillsboro freight
train was heard, and the locomotive seen
coming around the sharp curve above
Milford in full speed. The Conductor
Of the freight train was on the engine,
and told his engineer to check up The
signal was given, but the brakes were in
sufficient to hold the wheels, and the cars
came booming down the slippery track
with abated but dangerous speed. The
wheels were reversed, and the conductor
and engineer jumped from the engine
A brakeman on the mail train shouted
to the passengers to get out, but before
they could escape the descending loco
motive came into the car with perfect
crash, and, aoent nearly through splinter
ing wood and iron, but-and there's the
marvel-killing not one of the twenty
passengers, but most of them had got
well forward before the iron hosre came
laundering over the seats
When Mr.. Watt, engineer of the mai,
train, heard the crash of the collision.
he supposed his own train would be driv-
en- over him, and, with his assistant,
sprang off. The furnace had just been
crammed with wood and there was full
head Of steam on The force Of the blow
uncoupled the locomotive and tender
from the baggage car, at the same in
slant jerking the lever and throwing the
throttle valve wide open! Away sped
the locomotive like an arrow, or, if we
might say, like fat of Omnipotence,
sweeping down the track at seventy miles
an hour God help any helpless train
met or overtaken-help the city, but full
fourteen miles below, for that distance
will be devoured in fifteen minutes.
The escaped engine came 'howling by
Plainviile-visible for an instant to the
appalled, villagers-switched off into the
double track, as lightning from one steel
rod to another divergent, and thundered
on to the city whose spires must now
have been seen from the iron disc of this
fiery comet-but there was none to see,
for rider, or driver, or living human soul,
had the engine none. On, straight on,
the city the city! Happily the furnace
door flew open, the draught ceased, and
little way above the upper engine
house, on heavy grade, the locomotives
breath was spent; it came to dead
stand and stood there silent and cold,
forming as much part of the still win
try landscape as the whitened rock and
shrouded trees on the hillside above.

Bar Austria has not done with Amer

GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE M. E,
CHURoH.-The session of this body on the
Goth instant, was marked by very important
and interesting act. By vote nearly unani-
nous, (there was, we believe, but single
negative,) the Conference determined to ex.
punge from the Book of Discipline all those
passages that condemn slavery. Such action
was demanded by the very principle on which
the Southern Methodists separated from the
Northern; and it was demanded by the gen.
eral feeling and conviction of the congrega-
lions of the Church South. This action
crowns with consistency the position of the
Church and will give them new element OF
harmony and strength among themselves and

sB- The Philadelphia North American
says that Austria appears to be somewhat
alarmed at the latest movement Of the Rus.
sian troops which has been chronicled, and
well her rulers may be, for it places the Rus
sian forces in precisely the same position oc-
cupied by them in lS49, just before the inter-
vcntion in the Hungarian war; The move
ment we refer to is the posting of an army
corps of 10000 on the frontiers Of the Buko-
vina and Pennsylvania. The Bukovina is the
eastern extremity of Galicia, So that this ar
my corps of Russians will be ready to invade
the Austrian empire at any moment. This
exhibits in striking manner the boldness
and energy which characterize all the opera
tons of Russia. While Austria stands hest
tating whether to remain neutral or to de-
clare war, Russia prepares for any emergency
by occupying the Austrian frontier with q
powerful army. Were Russia now to en-
courage Hungarian rebellion, and at the
same time invade Pennsylvania and Gallicia,
the usefulness of Austria to the allies would
be gone; and it is not improbable that this
may be in some sort the calculation of Rus
sin in making this movement London pa
pers speak of it as forcing Austria to make
common cause with the Western Powers, but
under the considerations we have suggested,
it seems more like a rod of terror to keep
Austria from doing so.
