MOtIey's Pen POrtraIture OF the Prohignte
Henry of VaIOIs.

He had not been born without natural
gifts, such as Heaven rarely denies to prince
or peasant; but the courage which he once
possessed had been exhausted on the field on
Moncontour, his manhood had been left be-
hind him at Venice, and such wit as Heaven
had endowed him withal was now expended
in darting, viperous epigrams at court ladies,
whom he was only capable of dishonoring
by calumny, and whose charms he burned to
outrival in the estimation of his minions II n
With silken hounces, je Weled stomacher,
and painted lace, with pearls of great price
adorning his barred neck and breast, and
satin-slippered, feet of whose delicate shape
and size he was justly vain, it was his de.
light to pass his days and nights in cease
less round of gorgeous festivals, JOURNEYS,
professions masquerades, banquets and balls,
The cost of which glittering frivolities caused
the popular burden, and the popular execra-
ton to grow, from day to day, more intoler-
able and more audible.
Surrounded by q gong of "minions," the
most debauched, and the most desperate of
France, whose bedizzened dresses exhaled
perfumes throughout Paris, and whose san
culinary encounters eyed every street in
blood, Henry lived life of what he called
pleasure, careless of what might come after,
for he was the last of his race.
The fortunes of his minions rose higher
and higher, as their crimes rendered them
more and more estimable in the eyes of a
King who took woman's pride in the valor
of such champions to his weakness, and
more odious to a people whose miserable
homes were made even more miserable, that
the Golfers of few court favorites might be
filed.
Now sauntering, full-dressed, in the pub
lie promenades, with ghastly little deaths
heads strung upon his sumptuous garments,
and fragments of human bones dangling
among his orders Of knighthood, playing at
cup and ball as he walked, and followed by
a few select courtiers, who graVely pursued
the same exciting occupation; now presiding,
like queen of beauty, at a tournament to
assign the prize of yalor, and now, by the
advice of his mother, going about the streets
in robes of penitence, telling his beads as he
went, that the populace might be edited by
his piety, and solemnly offering up prayers
in the churches that the blessing of an heir
might be vouchsafed to him-Henry of
Valois seemed straiDing every nerve in order
to bring himself and his great Office into
contempt.
AS orthodox as he was prohigate, he hated
the Huguenots, who sought his protection
and who could have saved his throne, as
cordially as he loved the Jesuits, who passed
their lives in secret plottings against his
authority and his person, or in fierce de-
nunciatiOns from the Paris pulpits against
his manifold crimes. Next to an exquisite
and sanguinary fop, he dearly loved monk.
The presence of friar, he said, exerted as
agreeable an effect upon his mind as the
most delicate and gentle tickling could pro-
duce upon his body; and he was destined to
have fuller dose of that charming presence
than he coveted. FH '4g

Marvellous FeaIs of CngIiOstrO the Wiz
Hrd-His Resurrection of the Dead at

Marvellous FeRIs of CnGIIOstrO the Wiz
nrd-His Resurrection of the Dead at
Paris.
At the Park de Monceaux says the Paris
correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune,
Cagliostro anticipated all the wonders of our
modern table-turners and spirit evokers and
displayed Others none of our contemporaries
pretend to perform. Where is the spirit evo-
ker who has, as he did, raised spirits from the
dead and made them visible to mortal eyes,
as she of Endor raised Saups soul2
This astonishing feat Cagliostro did per.
form, and hundred people have avouched
they saw him do so with their own eyes.
He would evoke them in dimly-lighted
room. There would be twice as many chairs
around the table as there were persons
(quick, not dead) present.; at each living
mans side there would be q vacant chair
he would select the partner he wished to
rescue from the grave.
These chosen, Cagliostro would evoke
them and the shadows would glide noise
lessly into the room--not pale and shrouded,
but glowing with all the attractions of life
and attired in the prevailing fashions of the
day. Women were usually evoked-Asp-
asia, Cleopatra, Lais, Diane de Poitiers,
Mary Queen of Scots, Ninon de PEnclos,
Louise de la Valliere. They would look
around the room in the most natural man.
ner, talk easily and gracefully, speak of their
own lives and times, and then disappear.
repeat, these wonders are authenticated
for true and numerous witnesses. At one of
these curious experiments there was a gem
tlemaD, one Marquis dArmincourt who
could not bring to mind anybody he wished
to see. Don't smile There are many peo-
pie around you who live so completely in aHd
for the present hour, they are ignorant of
their yesterdays bosom friends.
''Shall | evoke your wifeW asked Cagli-
ostTo, by way of jogging his memory. "My
wife ! The DEVIL" exclaimed the Marquis,
and the company laughed so heartily at the
involuntary epithet, (which they knew so
well merited, for the defunct Marquise was
vlrago who would have made heaven itself
hell, and they had heard the Marquis say,
as he returned home from the graveyard,
"This ride will do me goodP Cagliostro de-
termined to treat the Marquis dAmincourt d
to a sight of his dead wife,
This made him so furious he rose from the
table, and ran to take his sword, which he
had laid aside when he sat down at table,
and insisted upon CagliOstro's crossing
swords with him, for he frankly declared he
had a great deal rather die than see her
again. The matter was compromised by the
Marquis choosing an ancestor who died in
Palestine about the time of the Crusaies.
Dead wives seem to be horrible objects to live
husbands. ga

PHILADELPHIA, February 22.-The multi
tudinOus early risers of this morning have
been ten-iOld increased, and now, at noon,
the streets are densely thronged with peo.
pie. The WOrkingmen's procession is now
passing the corner of Third and Chestnut
streets. A large number are in line all
the various trades are represented. The
machinists drag along in carts their imple.
ments of labor, rendered uselessssby the po-
litcal troubles of the country, giving TO the
parade most melancholy significance. Sa-
lutes are being fired as they march along to
their destination. They proceed to the Ma
tional Hall, where the National Convention
of Workingmen will be held this afternoon.
There is liberal display of flags in all
portions Of the city. The weather is fine.
The celebration of Washington's Birth
day began at daylight, by salute being
fred. Shortly after seven o'clock flag con-
tanning thirty four stars was hoisted by Mr..
Lincoln from a platform in front of Inde-
pendence Hall, after appropriate prayer and
other ceremonies.
Independence Square was filled with
mass of people, whose enthusiastic cheers
were worthy the occasion. A national sa-
Lutte was fired as the flag hoated out in the
morning sun.
The day promises to be brilliantly cele-
brated. The workingmen are mastering in
great force in procession.
Mr.. Lincoln leaves here at nine o'clock.

The AMENITIES OF SOUTHERN LEGISLATION.
An interesting incident transpired in the
lower House of the Alabama Legislature re-
Gently. Mr.. Clitherall, in the course of his
remarks, denouncing the stay law, just
passed by the Legislature, took occasion to say
that, had he supposed such a measure would
become a law, he should have preferred to
live for four years under Mr.. Lincolns rule.
This elected a hiss from some member, and
Mr.. Clitherall retorted, by observing that if
the gentleman who hissed would show him
self he would put his mouth in such con-
dition that he would not repeat the opera
ton for a week to come.
Thereupon Mr.. George G.. Henry, Of Mo-
bile, arose from his seat and stated that he
was the sibilant individual, and that he held
himself responsible for the method in which
he had disapproVed of Mr.. Clitherell's remark.
The next moment he was dodging an ink
stand which that gentleman launched at his
head. AS the combatants were about COM
ing to close quarters, the bystanders sepa-
rated them. '....r s-H

Presid9n. Madi.On's Letter H0.Deotins


the BOnapRrte-PattersOn Marriage.
This is the copy of private letter from
James Madison to Robert R, Livingston.
then United States Minister to France, dated
Washington, October 3, 1903.
Dear Sir: Jerome Bonaparte, who came
to this country with view to more secure
passage to Europe, has been smitten, it seems,
with a young lady in Baltimore, and the re-
suit is to be marriage, which will probably
have taken place before this leaves the port
to which it is sent 1t is to be hoped that
the connection will be more auspicious to the
happiness of the parties, than the sudden
ness of it and other considerations may De
thought to promise.
But considering the relation of one of the
parties to man who has so much influence
on the course of human affairs, and whose
private feelings may mingle themselves in a
certain degree with his public sentiments
the event is not without Importance. In
every view it may be we'll that you should
be apprised OF it, and be enabled to give such
explanations as will accord with truth, and
prevent erroneous impressions. l follow,
therefore, my own sense of propriety, as well
as the wishes of the friends of the young
lady, in informing you that her parents have
had 10 share in promoting this distinction
of their daughter, and that their station in
society and their independence of fortune
place their acquiescence in it far above any
suspicion of indelicate considerations.
Mr.. Patterson, the father, is a man of the
fairest character of real respectability, of
very great wealth, perhaps near a million of
dollars, and has received sufficient proofs of
the esteem and confidence of his fellow-citi-
zens. By marriage he is connected with
very important family in Maryland, to which
you are not stranger; Mrs. Patterson being
the sister of Mrs. Smith, the wife of General
Smith, we'll known in our public councils,
and at present Senator of the United States,
and herself also of a very respectable family.
