Lieut. Col. Schnitz-for to that rank he
was raised ipstanter acquitted himself with
all the dignity that might be expected from
q preux eheralier Of commanding person and
address. having bent his knee before and
saluted the hand Of the Empress, be said it
was bis happiness to state that be left his
Majesty in excellent health, and that be es-
teemed it high honor and most distin-
guished privilege to be deputed to present to
the Empress Regent in the name of the
whole army-happy 10 the idea Of seeing the
trophy in her Msjesty's hands, color taken
from the enemy-and the acceptance of
which was besought as q new pledge Of that
army's affection for herself and its devoted
ness to the Imperial dynasty.
The Empress, overcome by her tears, had
some difficulty in uttering the warm express
sons which rose from her heart. In
everybody seemed moved; and :, ,ne ,,srIv
tones Of the gallant messengers voice had
not subsidized before the humid eyelids OF

The Empress examined the beautiful stand

though pierced 10 numerous places by mus
ket balls and grape, and then placed it in the
hands Of the little Prince Imperial, who
seemed exceedingly inquisitive about the
whole affair.

WE LIKE THAT WoMAN's SrYLE-It is re-
lated 10y the Sacramento Star, that lately a
young couple, just married in the country,
went to the city. The wife did not take a
comb or other head fixing apparatus, and
finding none in her hotel room, and wanting
to g'out mighty bad in the morning, "she
made vociierous calls for her escort, who
quickly appeared and gallantly handed her
down to the barber shop, fronting on the
street, where she took her position in front
of one of the looking glasses and combed and
brushed to her hearts content. Having fin
ished her toilet, she again lovingly took pos
session OF the arm of her partner and wend
ed her way back to the hotel, much to the
astonlshment of the colored gentleman who
presided over the razors, and greatly to the
amusement of the fashionable lockers on"
There are always enough to be greatly
amused at all such sensible and womanlv de-
parture from the refined nicety of fashion
For our part, we like that woman's STYLE
