AN AMERICAN LADY IN FAVOR AT COURT.

Correspondence of the MOntre Herald.
The Emperor and Empress not unfre-
quently take great liking to persons
accidentally presented to them, invite them
to their most select parties, make much of
them, and sometimes rousing little .jeal-
ousy by so doing among the persons
belonging to the Cour.. Of the ladies
officially foremost, the reigning favorites
are Princess Metternich extremely clever
and piquante, who invents the oldest
tOillettes, dances the oldest dances, and
says the oldest things; the Marquise de
Galifet, whose past life is a romance, not
altogether according to the French proverb
Citing school girl reading), but who is
very handsome, brilliant, merry and auda-
cious; and two others, the haEdsome
wives of men high in the employment of
the Emperor. These la.ies spent enormous
sums ON their toilette, and are perpetually
inventing some merry and brilliant nom
sense for the amusement of the Empress.

a very amiable temper, and wonderfully

apartments few nights ago, the Imperial
hosts and their guests sat down to an ex-

the party. During the supper one of the
ladies began playtully to tease Mrs. -
about her hair, declaring that no human head

trous hair, and inviting her to confess to

tons to the locks of natures bestowing.
Mrs. - m0destly protested that her
hair, such as it was, was really and truly
her own; in right of growth, and not of
purchase. All present speedily took part
in the laughing dispute; some declaring
for the opinion Of the lady of Honor, the
others for that of Mrs. -. The EN-
peror and Empress, greatly amused at the
dispute, protested strong desire to know
the facts Of the case; and the Emperor, de.

that some little disappointment may have
been caused to some of the ladies by this
magnificent torrent of hair. displayed by

Coin versus Paper.

There has been in the California Legis-
ture hard fight between these two pow
ers. 1t was upon bill to repeal what is
called the Special Contract law, which pro-
vides in all suits on obligations for the
payment of specific kind of money, the
judgment shall follow the contract, and
that persons receiving money for others
shall pay it in the kind of funds they re-
ceive. Most contracts in California are
now, and have been for long time past,
payable specifically in coin. The object
of the bill, over which there has been such
a struggle, was to get rid of this provision.
In other words, it was to substitute in
California paper currency for the present
one of gold. sc o
The friends of the repeal and paper en-
listed various agencies to accomplish their
objects. Among them was a telegram
from Secretary Chase, who, in answer to
a dispatch from some of the members of
Legislature, replied:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1864.
To Thompson Campbell and E. w. Roberts:
| am clearly of opinion that the California
gold law is against the national policy, and
shall be much gratifed to see California de-
clare herself in favor of one currency for the
whole people, by its repeal.
s. P. CHASE.
The repealers were in high spirits on re-
ceipt of this missive.
Mr.. Campbell Expressed the opinion
that so soon as the loyal masses of his
constituents should hear this authoritative
declaration, they would range themselves
in favor of the repeal of the specific con-
tract law, in spite of all The powers of
money and hell"
The sense of the Senate was, however,
against the repeal, the final vote showing
fourteen for it and twenty -four against it.
The leading journals of California were
all opposed to the repeal; and so, we
should judge, is the large mass of its pop
ulatlon. A Sacramento correspondent of
the Alta writes: The masses of the hard
working, honest and worthy men Of this
commonwealth have crushed the daboli-
cal plot of the unprincipled politicians to
bring ruin upon them. Tie people are
still omnipotent, for to them in their
primary capacity is the defeat of the radi-
cal measure to be attributed. Their Pc
titions, unsolicited, spontaneous, and all
but unanimous, could not be disregarded
by their legislative representatives.
Great satisfaction at the result is ex-
pressed in the journals, and probably no
question was ever settled more decidedly
in accordance with the sentiments of the
substantial PARTON of the people.-.S. |

THINKING.

Here is an exquisite little picture, which i
angible "gold and purple, our readers woul
ike to see framed before them:
Through the clouds ofgold and purple,
Slowly the sun is sinking,
Fetlock deep within the river
Stand the cattle, drinking;
On the bridge above the mill-strcam,
Rests the maiden-thinking,
Nut-brown hair that mocks the sunset
With its golden cleaning,
Hands above her pitcher folded,
With the graceful seeming
Of an antique-sculptured Neridd,
By fountain dreaming.
As tender thought had swayed her,
Ger tAestream she's leaning,
While her red lips curve and culver
With sudden meaning,
And quick nod shakes her ringlets,
All her features screening.
For there comes sound of laughter,
And merry cheering;
And the cattle turn their faces
To step that's nearing
And she waits for words low spoken
In a tone endearing.
Low behind the western tree-tops
Now the sun is sinking
Toward the bridge the weary cattle
Turn themselves from drinking
All! they never guessed as did,
What the maid was thinking.
