At Christmas sent presents to my rela-

CANT trifles used to give at that season I
bestowed as follows: Several bushels Of
meal, peas, bacon, butter, lard, eggs, sau-
sages, soap (home-made), rope, string, and
a coarse basket all which articles, am as
sured, were most warmly welcomed, and
more acceptable than jewels and silks

miliarized that we laugh at these changes
in our ways of lite, and keep our regrets
for graver things. The photographs Of

would have smiled to have heard my daugh-
ters designing their present fashion from

must know that, amid all the woes of the
Southern Confederacy, her women still feel
their utter ignorance of the fashions when
ever they have a new dress to make up or
an old one to renovate. l imagine that
when our intercourse with the rest of man
kind is revived we shall present singular

ternal appearance thrust we shall have gain
ed in sublimer virtues and more important

Social Life i'm the South.

The London Times publishes the follow
ing extract of letter from the wife of a
rebel General to friend in Europe:
There are many little things in which our
daily life is changed-many luXuries cut off
from the table which we have forgotten to
miss. Our mode of preparing necessaries
is very different and far more complicated.
The condition of our currency has brought
about many curious results; for instance, l
have Just procured leather for our negro
shoes by exchanging tallow for It, of which
we had quantity from some five beeves
fattened and killed upon the place. ! am
now bargaining with factory up the coun-

the old scraps of fine worsteds and dark
silks to spin thread for gloves for the gem

These home-knit gloves and these home
spun dresses will look much heater and
nicer than you would suppose. My daugh-
ters and being In want of under garments,

AnImperiaI Family Row.

The acceptance by Maximilian of the
crown and sceptre, the coronet and apron
of feathers, whereby the decency and dig
nifty of the empire of Montezuma are to be
maintained as in the days of yOre, has not
gone off without some of those little differ
ences to which even imperial families are
subject. Gossip and ca,cda are of course
let loose in Paris, and it seems that the OBJ
stinacy and pigheadedness of the brothers
being exactly of equal amount, admit of no
idea of yielding even to circumstances on
either side; and thus 1t is that after much
angry debating, quarreling, and bandying
of reproaches, the new Emperor, who was
to have started without fail on the 10Th,
finds himself still detained, Through indis-
position" at Miramar. The story goes that
amid the storm OF angry passion, in which
the long pent-up truths got abroad-one OF
them concerning the Archduchess Sophia
and which had never before seen the air in
the family, although pretty well ventilated
in Vienna, was so startling and terrible that
the subdued lady, after q most violent scene
with her eldest son, rushed from the palace,
and set off by express train to Munich,
where she will remain till the departure'of
Macmillan renders the recurrence of such
a scene impossible.
The breakfast given in honor of the de-
parture of the new Emperor must have been
whole history of Austria. The Archdukes
and Emperors, the Princes and the delegates,
all held in the check by the one solitary
benker, who refusing to pay down at Mira
mar the money understood to be raised for
the expenses of installment at Mexico, pre-
vents the embarking of the Sovereign elect,
who had reckoned upon that very sum for
distribution amongst his creditors, who
stand in grumbling. and discontented
grounds around the palace. The consequent
reproach and reprimand to which the
Archduke is subjected by his wise and prl-
dent brother, the retaliation and defiance
exhibited by the poor spendthrift, and the
concluding outburst which sends the Arch
duchess Sophia in hot haste and Indignation
out of the room-out of the palace---out of
the city-nay, more, out of the empire to
seek refuge from the dismay and desolation
occasioned by the sudden divulgation of
certain dark secrets heard above the bub-
bling noise of the family linen as it soaks
and seethes in the boiling cauldron of op-
probium In which the Archduke was
plunging it in such hot fury, that the stains
and spots will remain forever fixed instead
of being removed-all tn is has formed
a curious though sad contemplation to the
philosophers about the Court; and private
letters from Vienna are full of this great
family wash, in which every article, though
plunged into boiling water, has come out
none the cleaner for all that. Depend upon
it "the indisposition" which prevents the
future Emperor from starting. although
sneered at and mistrusted, is far from being
feigned, and that it will be doubled In in
tensity should the money be refused by Ma
