DAILY VIRGlNIAN.
A Cfasy Princess

A Paris correspondent Of the N. Y. CONNER
oia, writing under date Of Oct, l6. gives the
following interesting narrative Of ono Of royal
blood in Europe .4.s. .#4.
Courts have their treacherous friends as
well as causes. and ono Of these treacherous
friends has betrayed the secret Of the delay in
the Journey Of drowned head (the king Of Sar-
diniai) whose intention was to have paid us an
autumnal visit in order TO enjoy the pleasures
of the chase IN the imperial forests with the i'm
pcrial hosts. This delay, falsely attributed to
i'll health by the innocent, 10 asorieed by report
to domestic perplexity oocasioned by the vaGs-
ries Of member Of his family to whom be 10 much
attached, and for whose conduct he consders
himself in some degree responsible. The young
lady in question. perhaps the only Que IN Eu-
rope bold enough to claim her independeuce. has
given her relations much disquietude by her de-
cision to remain unmarried to- travel where she
lists and with whom she lists. taking the care OF
her own reputation upon herself. aud asking for
no protection or patronage from any member OF
the other sex belonging to her family.
Her affection for the last sovereign OF the ooun-
try was unbcunded; and the first symptom OF
friskness which manifested itself in the young
hdy's behavior was ON the occasion OF his MAJ
csty's death in n foreign luud She immediately
repaired to the spot where he hnd died. Purcnas'
ed the hotel where tho sad event had taken place
had the entirs edifice pulled down, built q mug
nificcn, chapel on the spot in the midst Of w'nch
tho death bed Of the king exactly in the snme
state in which il was left at tho moment OF his
dissolution, rises In gay and geudy colors with
its trumpery hangngs and tnwdry fringes' stri-
king the stranger who bcholdst 1t for the hrst time
with astonishnent to behold such an object IN
such place. Last year the young lady repaired
in grand ceremony TO the chapel and there upon
the bed deposited first the royal robe abe Is ent-
tied to by her birth to wear on all State oeca-
sions; then tho broad ribbon, with the jeweled
star she wore upon her breasts and finally knee'-
ing down by the bedside, while the tears stream
cd in torrent down her cheeks. she lifted the
crown from her brow and placed it on the pillow
rubioly declaring her vow to live AM die maid
and never to omit, on every anniversary OF tne
death of her royal relptivo paying a visit to Inc
chapel in order to offer up fcrvent mass tor
the reposc of his soul.
The bystanders were moved TO tears by the
scene, when presently tho young lady arose from
her knees, and standing erect before the multi
tude assembled ip tho chapel, she deliberately
drew from her pocket pair OF scissors, and
loosening her magnificent tresses from the bands
of velvet which confined them. she cut them on
TO the very scalp and laid them beside the crown
she had Just before deposited upon the pillow
which had received the last breath Of the king
70 describe the astonishment produced by the
event would be impos sible-a mixture OF the SUD-
lime and ridiculous in the scene prevented any
Of the bystanders. The princess Is a small per7
sou. and she tripped down the chapel to step in
10 her oarringe. divested of the long cloak With
which sbe had entered--her bair cropped and
bristly, her eyes flashing right and left with a
singular expression of satisfaction at the trick
she had been playing; it was impossible not 70
enjoy the mystifcation to its very utmost. atya
Ever since that day she has adopted male az
tire. and travels us the Prince de ~, paying
her promised visit to the bed around which hum
dreds Of tapers are burning night and day. II
will readily be believed that person Of this cha
ractcr has passions of love and hate equally
strong. She has taken Queen Christiena en-
grippe. and vows that her relative shall not visit
France without her SO long as that talented lady
remains at Malmaison. "rhere is one daugh,,
ter unmarried YETI says the princess; Christ.
ma has the dia5s qu corps. If am not there. tp
protect my relative, no will fall prey to that
all devouring intriguante- therefore desert him
not, he is the sacred legacy of my beloved SOW
eroign and master, and will defend him at any
risk and peril" i, is said that the king is so a.
larned at tho threat Of aid and protection that no
dares not move forward until his fair relative
can be brought to reason.- Paris Letter, oct.

A ROMANTIC INCIDENTAL soldier who was
present at the capture of Sebastopol relates the
following romantic story:-
"A party of men belonging to different regi-
mcnts were paroing from house to house in
search Of plumber. IN house they came across
beautiful young female about II or lS years OF
age. Of course, some ignorance was shown
amongst the party, who commenced to drag her
about, and would have used violence to her had
not u young man belonging to the ''l6th' taken
u musket and threatened to blow tho first mans
brains out that laid finger on her; whereupon
the young woman flew to this man and clung to
to him for protection. She followed him all the
way back to the camp. when coming in sight Of
his camp, he beckoned TO her to return but sho
would not leave him.
"Whether she had fallen in love at first sight
don't know but she came to the camp with him.
AS soon AZ he got there he was instantly confined
for being absent when the regiment was under
arms. She followed him to the guard tent, and
cried after him. The colonel OF his regiment
seeing the affection she bore him, released him,
and sent them both before General Harris, where
an interpreter was got, and she related the whole
affair to them.
at turned out that she was the Generals
daughter. She was beautifully attired, carried
n gold watch, and wore a set OF bracelets OF I'M
mense value. The young man is now about to
be married to her. She will not leave him upon
any account whatever; and If he is not lucky
dog. don't know who is"
