Death Of Mrs. Beauregard.

ooSN'1S;i- =
sse|act;on and inauguration Of Governor Hahn, >
writes:
Ca the morning Of >he same day, in another
ptrt Of the city, services Of quite 8 different
character were made requisite by one Of those
inevitable out sad events to which the highest
and the lowest are subject. The day before
It was announced In simple paragraph II uost
of our papers that Mrs. AIargnerita Caroline
Deslonde, wife OF General ?. I. Beauregarl,
&. S. A., had died, and that on the 4th Fri
day) the funeral would proceed from her resi-
sence % Esplanade street at s. A. NJ, to con-
vey her body to boat, by which it would be
taken to the family tomb in the parish Of st.
John the Baptist.
The deceased was allied by birth and by
n arriage 10 some OF the most respectable fam
lies both Of this State and of France, and her
husband has proved himself TO be one Of the
first commanders Of the age.
Between him and bis wife there existed the
tenderest sympathy and affection. lie loved
bis frends and his creole home, and left it
only when military necessity called him imper-
ativey to leave. During the early part OF the
var. Mrs Beauregard remained at the house
OF her brother-in law, Hon. {. j. Vlllere,
member Of the Confederate Congress, some
ten miles below the city; but SO eager was her
desire to hear Of and from her husband, that
she came up nearly every day to meet the daily
telegram which he sent her. Finally she sent
age, tc ioin their farther, to whom and to
whose cause she was SO deeply attached.
Failing into bad health, she has been gradu
ally sinking for more than year past but
she would not suffer her husband to know 1t,
nor 20 where she might be burden to him.
She kept, indeed, her illness as much from
theworL as possible for fear that news Of it
might reach MIN, and give him unnecessary
pain Ali that could he ione for her was
attended to by attached friends; and thus her
way to the tomb was made rs easy as it could
have been had he been present.

A lady pianist has lately appeared in Hol-
land, WHO employs the singular advantage, to
one in her profession, Of having ak fingers on
each hand-the supplementary finger adjoining
tho little finger, and resembling the thumb Of;
another hand. This popularity is hereditary,
one of her ancestors, whose portrait was paint
cd by Reubens, exhibiting the same digital for
NATION. She plays the piano with great bril-
liancy, making much use Of the supplementary
finger. Her six fingered gloves are manufac-
tured expressly for the lady by Paris ganticr
and she seems rather proud than otherwise of
her peculiar superfuity. All the members Of
the family who thus have six fingers aresequal-
" favored as to toes.

hundred and seventy in number,
many Of them Of large size, and all
of the most elaborate execution, ap-
piled only as far as the first floor of
the building, at which stage it had
now arrived. The structure will be
the largest Of the kind in the world,
and in the richness of decoration and
perfection of internal arrangements
for the audience, the artists employ
ed, and the purposes to which it, is
devoted, will be superior to anything
now existing in Europe. The follow
