When one thinks of 1T all, it really seems to be al

passages OF the earlier days of the poor Empress

must have borne her splendid fetters

made her appearance, saying she was ready to ac-
company Her Majesty anywhere in a carriage! At
winch the unlucky Empress exclaimed somewhat
tartly, that she neither wanted carriage nor her
company This is the answer on record. And
mysteries and nervous attacks ensued and the once
SO independent Mile de Montiio was shut up, for
goOd ana all little children term it, and left to
mediate on the recent change in her habits of life
For two years this continued, until at last certain
acts on the part of the Emperor gave his consort
the right as she thought to her liberty of action

press managed most innocently, as we should think

A TERRIBLE SCENE-A MAN BURNED TO DARN
The Memphis Appeal, in its account OF the great
hre OF the l4th ult., relates the following:
Although the fire had spread so wide it was all

hteen persons were in the room, a portion of the
dividing wall fell, and the ceiling above, with the
mass upon 1t, had fallen from the upper stories,
came down upon them. At the first rattle of com
ing destruction a number of those within rushed
from the doors, and appeared more or less bruised
and bleeding, being struck as they neared the
doors. These were helped to Farnsworth's and
Mansheld's drug stores, where all assistance was
speedily applied. Inquiry showed that all had not
escaped. Several of those who escaped stated that
at least one member of the No. SIS, Bob McManus
fisherman residing at the foot of Beak street. was
burned beneath the blazing ruins.
The fallen mass had closed and held fast the
doors; these were assaed by axes and torn down
boards, beams and other lumber were cleared AWAY

Scarcely had he given his name, when another

Shakspeare's House, at Stratford, together with
the garden in which it stands, is about to be put

orchard-such as orchards were in the poets day-
