Splendid Apartments in tho French Im-
perial Palace

Twenty millions of francs have becu ex-
pended in embellishing the Imperial apart
ments at the Tuileries. A favorte saloon in
the apartments occupied by the Empress,
named the Flower-room,n has just been
finished, and it would be difficult to imagine
any thing more graceful than the paintings
with which the walls and ceiling have been
covered by the artist Chaplin, and which
represent flowers fancifully ide llized aud de-
veloped into female heads. The ceiling con-
tains group Of al egorical fgures-paintiug
sculpture, engraving, architecture, history,
and gination-surrounding the Empress
aud doing homage to ber as their proteetress
under the group is the motto, "Super gressd
es uniUersas,'-the famous, "Thou hast ex-
celed them all" addressed, in the "Song of
Solomon" to the most virtuous of women.
This piece of Biblical: :dattery was suggested
by village curate, who most assuredly pos
sesses the instinct Of courtly adulation.
In the room adjoining, Dubufe has painted,
above the doors, the portraits of Mesdames de
Moray, de Walewski--wives of the brother
and cousin of the Emperor in virtue of the
"bar sinisteY"-de Malakoff, cousin of the
Empress, de Bassano and de Cadore. The
walls of thisroom are charmingly orname nted
with panels of birds and flowers by AppeTt.
In the Empress's private parlor is the Louis
XVII, of Wrappers. The Empress dressing
room, like that of Marie AntOinette at FoR-
tainebleau is lined with mirrors, adorned
with exquisite paintings executed upon the
surface of the mirrors. The entire suite /;
furnished in the most luxurious and magnif
cent style, and enriched with inuumerabl'
works Of art, and the most splendid produc
| tons Of Sevres.

AIl-Saints' Day in Paris-Fctc of the
Dead

OF the hundreds of thousands who visit
the burial-places of Paris on the anniversary
of All-Saint's Day, scarcely one goes empty
handed; pots of roses and Yioets, garlauds of
black white and yellow imnlorteLLes, tinsel
flowers and cruciixes of every style, are pro-
cured from the dealers who inhabt the pur-
lieus of the cemeteries, and deposited on the
graves by the relatives and friends of the
denizens Of these "cites of the dead" Paris
offers few more striking sights than its great
burial places on the recurrence of this day.
The Enclosures themselves, and all the ap-
proaches leading to them, are thrOnged with
dense crowds of persons Of both sexes and
every age nearly all dressed in black, and
carrying some memeuto of affectionate re-
memblance to lay on the graves and tombs
they come to visit.
The humid ground, the ''sere and yellow
leaves" the cold winds common TO the sea-
son. the masses of mementoes-some fresh
others of many years standing and slowly
decaying-the irrepressibe weeping and
agitation of so many of the kneeling visitors
at the graves, and the unwonted gravity of
all, show the inhabitants of this lively,
thoughtless aud brilliant city under an
aspect totally different from that under
which they are seen during the rest of the
| year.
The constapcy with which this otherwise
| inconstant city cherishes the memory of its
| dead, may he judged of by the fact that, dur
| ing the last ten years, not less than 100,
OOO,0 600 francs have been expended on the
| three great cemeteries of Paris-a sum which
| would suffice to erect houses for a pOpula-
| non Of 10000 persons.

FoslnI D efecte in thc RussInn Empire.

Among the many reforms most urgeGtly
Roeded IN Holy Russia is that of the post.
II is calculated that the chances of a letter
being lost in the Russian PoStoffiee are about
equal to those of its being received by the
person TO whom it is addressed; couse-
quentiy, the Russians arc unwilling to pre-
pay their letters although their prepay yment
is declared by the law to be obligatory. H.
is not sufficient 10 drop a stamped letter into
the letter boxes, the sender must 90 into the
office and make declaration of the prepaid
missive. 1t is ouly with difficulty and the
aid of bribes that n Russian, travelling in
Russia, can obtain the delivery of letters ad-
dressed to him to the pOstOffice of any given
locality, unless he happens to present him
self ct such postoffice at particular hour.
Travellers who chance to reach post
town later, even by few minutes, than the
specified hour, during which the pOst-restante
is open, are frequently compelled TO lose II
day by having to wait until the next day to
get their letters The rece ption of pre-
paid foreign letter involves payment by
the recipient ofa sum one. third greater than
that charged upon foreign letters that are
not prepaid. Although the new lines of
railway are now in operation, the mails are
still conveyed everywhere by horse posts, as
before.
Letters are constantly opened at the differ
ent postoffices, an immense number never
going beyond the hands of the censors, The
Government insists on receiving from the
postoffce a sum of two millions of roubles
annually; the remainder of the net proceeds
of this department finds its way into the
pockets of the postofiice employees, and moth
ing is left for the amelioTaton of the exist
ing system.

THE PRNcE OF WALES IN AMEMcA.-The
London Times, in the last issue received
here, observes
II is not every body who can best do that
which is his most natural part, for it is the
highest merit to he just that which a man
ought TO be. The commonest form Of error
is to attempt part not ones own, or TO
combine tv o in one. The Prince Of Wales
has only shown himself in his own proper
character as the head of the young British
gently, the future sovereign of n consttu-
tonal county, and the representative of
an empire whose best interests are to be at
peace with all the world, and which neither
hopes for aggTandizement nor fears any foe.
He has expressed to the Americans the real
sentiment of every British heart to that
great cognate nation. There is none in
hicb we are all so interested; none the
successes and glories of which we all hear
with such unmixed satisfaction; none with
which we so identify ourselves. The Prince
of Wales, while showing the feelings of a
true born Englishman, has elected tue feel
ings of all true-born Americans, aud so
brought the two face to face, and made them
feel they are brothers .-

LITERARY ARsoN-Loss Of Intellectual
Tredsues.-Literary arson has inflicted no
slight losses upon the world. To say moth

at Alexandria, Wat. Tyler burned the an

libraries and papers of Lord Mansfield and
DR.. Priestley; on his retreat from Torres

posted in the Convent Of Alcobaca Warbur-

concluding volumes of his History Of the

Important matrimOBie-Legnl Question In
Franoe-A Young Woman Married to a
Convicted Assassiu,
A legal question of some importance is
about to be submitted to the judgment of the
Paris Court of Cassation-tbe Supreme Court
ofAppeals from the decisions of the lower
tribunals. A young work woman Of ire
proacbable character, named Zoe Herbin,
was courted by an ouUrier who had worked
for a year in the Same establishment, and
during that period had behaved well, and
won the good opinions of his employers and
fellow-workmen. He stated that he was an
orphan from the south Of France, produced
the various legal documents required in
France for ones identity; and made out so
plausible o story that the young woman's
parents were satisfied, and the marriage
took place.
For few weeks all went well with the
young pair but the wife happening to enter
the room one day when her husband was
dressing himself, she perceived to her un-
speakable surprise the terrible brand of the
hulks on his shoulder. Disguise and subter-
fuges were alike useless, and the man con-
fessed that he had been a prisoner in the
hulks, to which as the family of the unfor-
tunate wife now discovered he had beer
condemned for the crime of assassination
| The wife and her family, all honest, hard
working people, of good name and much re
| spected in their sphere-were, however
| stricken at the discovery.
The young woman declared that nothing
should ever induce her to regard as her hus
band man who had committed SO foul
crime and whose alliance was o disgrace
Her parents took the same view of the mat
ter, received her again into their house, AM
applied in her name to the proper tribuna
to have the marriage declared null, on tn
I ground that, in contracting this union, tn
woman had been deceived as to the identit
of the other party. This demand was re
iected. and the marriage declared to be valid
despite the admitted error of identity. Con
siderable interest is felt here in the issue q
the appeal from this verdict.

A Lions Comtship-LOves of Ihe King OF
Rposfs
The Westminster Reviev observes:

Let us first sketch the story of the lions
life-beginning with his marriage, which
takes place toward the end of January. He
was first TO seek his wife; but as the males
are far more abundant than the females, who
are often cut off in infancy, it is not rare tl
find young lady pestered with the addresses
of three or four galauts, who quarrel with
the acerbty of jealous lovers. If one o.
them does not succeed in disabling rdriving
away the others, madam, impatient and dts
satisfied, leads them into the presence of an
old lion, whose roar she has appreciated at a
distance. The lovers fly to him with the
temerity of youth and evaporation. The
old fellow receives them with calm assur-
ance, breaks the neck of the first with his
terrible jaws, smashes the leg Of the second,
and tears out the eye of the third. No
sooner is the day won and the field clear,
than the lion tosses his name in the mir rs ne
roars, and then crouches by the side of his
lady, who. as a reward for his courage, licks
his wounds caressiRgly.
When two adult lions are the rivals the
encounter is more serious. An Arab,
pefched in a tree one night, saw liones5
followed by a tawny lion, with full grown
name; she lay down AT the foot of the tree
the lion stopped on his path and seemed to
listen. The Arab then heard the distant
growing of lion, which was instantly re-
piled to by the lioness under the tree. THIS
made her husband roar tur ouSly.
The distant lion was heard approaching,
and as he came nearer the lioness roared
| louder, which seemed to agitate her hus-
band for he made toward her as if to force
| her TO be quiet, and then spraug back to his
| old post, roaring defiance at his distant rival
| This continued for about an hour, when a
black lion made his appearance on the plain.
| The lioness arose rs if to go toward him,
! but her husband, guessing her intention,
| bounded toward his rival.
The two crouched and sprang upon each
other rolling on the grass in the embrace Of
| death. Their bones cracked, their flesh was
torn, their cries If rage aud agony rent the
air, aud all this time tive lioness crouched
and wageed her tail slowly in signs of satis-
faction. When the combat ended, aud both
warriors were stretched on the plain, she
arose, sme.t them satisfied herself that they
were dead, and trotted Off quite regardless
of the uncomplimentary epithet.
This, Gerad tells us, is an example of the
copiugal fidelity of milady; whereas the lion
never quits his wife unless forced, and is
quite pattern of coniugal attention.

A LONDON JOURNAL ON THE PRINCE OF
WALEss RETURN FROM AMEmoA.-The Lon
don Newsindulges in this Johnsonese English
on His Royal Highness' return home:
The Prince of Wales brings home, we are
persuaded, a heart thrilling with affection
for the mighty offspring of England and q
deep respect for that energetic freedom and
expanding power. He brings home, too, an
intellect sharpened and strengthened by cou-
tact with the vitality of new cviliza-
ton. He has tasted the life and destiny
of the New World, in the prairie, in
the forest clearing, in populous cities,
where but yesterday the pioneer piled
his ak. He has seen nation of solliers
without an army, civil order without a
police-wealth, luxury and culture without
a Court or an aristocracy. He has learned
to mingle with the busy crowd of men with
out the intervention of chamberlains and
courtiers; he has found respect without GER
emony, and honor without adulation. He
has dwelt too, in England at sea; and no
where can he have better learned the secret
of ofEpglands greatness than in his experiences
on board the Hero in the Atlantic. 1t is
only due to the Duke of Newcastle to say
that the Prince has been singularTy fortunate
in the selection of a Secretary of State to at
tend him on his travels. 1t seems happy
coincidence that at the hour when the royal
squadron was making the English land on
Wednesday night the Prime Minister was ell
oquently acknowledging the hosDitalities
which the Prince of Wales had enjoyed in
the United States.

Pacha, is causing his nieces-daughters of
the late Il-Harin Pacha-to be educated in
his palace where they share the lessons

Tossoun-P Pacha, so well known, in spite of
his extreme youth, in Paris and London,
which he has already visited several times
The little fellow speaks French and English
perfectly. His bust executed in marble by
Miss Susan Durant, of London, is one of the
most successful efforts of this lady, who
promises to become the Reynolds of sculp-
ture. 1t was bespoken by Sir Moses MOnti-
fore, and by him presented to the Viceroy.
The legal wives of thissovereign having pre-
sented him only with daughters, thischild-
the child of a slave-is the Viceroy's only
son, and the idol of the harem, each of whose
inmates seems to have adopted him as her
own 1t is said that these ladies were ex-
tremely delighted when the bust of the child
was received at the palace, and not little
astonisbed at learning that it was the work
of one of their own sex. ..s or.

her TO her fate, hanging provisions enough
