NUMBER 81
The Duchess De La Valliere-

This celebrated French ladv was of ON
ancient family, and maid of honor to Hen.
rietta of England, wife of the Dnke of
Orleans. She became the mistress of Lo,;s
AlV. OF France. by whom she had son and
a daughter. She is thus described bv con-
temporary writers '' She was most lovely
woman; the lucid whiteness of her skin. the
roses on her cheeks, her languishing blue
| eyes, and her fine silver -colored hair. were
altogether captivating" To her Choisy ap-
plies the following line:
And grace still more charming than beauty.
Z" That La Villiere," says Anquetil, in his
Memoirs, "who was SO engaging so win
ning so tender, and so much ashamed of her
tenderness; who would have loved Louis for
his own sake had he been but private man !;
and who sacrificed to her affection for him
her honor and conscientious scruples, with
/ bitter regret"
In tit ofmingled repentance and jealousy,
| she one day left the court, and retired to a
convent at st. Cloud. The king, when in
| formed of this, seized the first horse that
came to hand, and rode hastily after her.
He at length prevailed over her pious resolu-
tions and carried her back in triumph.
| " Adieu sister !" said she to the nun who
opened the gate for her you shall soon see
me again"
| From that time La Villiere, stunning the
! public gaze, lived in retirement; and conse-
| quently the king mingled but little with the
circles of the court. In 1866, however, in
obedience to her lover, and from tenderness
to her children, she ventuFed once more to
/ appear IN public, and accepted the title and
honors Of duchess.
Some time after, the beauty, wit and Vi
vacity Of Madame de Montespan acquired
| Tor her such ascendancy over the tickle
monarch, that La Villiere was again driven
! by her jealousy to the convent and she was
again induced, by the tears and entreaties of
Louis, to return. But being convinced that
his affections were iTretrievanly lost. she re-
solved to carry out her purpose, and took the
VOWS IN the presence of the whole court,
under the name Of sister Louise, of the Order
Of Mercy, June 9Th, 1915. She survived
this sacrifice for thirty six years, devoted to
| the performance of the austerities of con-
ventual life. 1t was proposed to elevate her
/ to the rank Of abbess but she declined, say
| ing, " Alas after having shown myself in
capable to regulate my own conduct, shall
presume to direct that of others? ?"
Madame de Montespan went sometimes to
see her. Are you really as happy"
asked she, at one time, as people say ?"
= am not happy" replied the gentle
! Carmelite, ." but content"
Her daughter, Mademoiselle de Blois, was
married to the Prince of Conde; her son,
Louis of Bourbon, Count of Fermandoise,
died at the siege of Ceurtrai, in 1858.
ALAS, my God !" said La Valliere. when
informed of her misfortune, "must | weep
for his death, before my tears have expiated
his birth ?''
She died in ITO, at the age of sixty-six.
She was much beloved for her meekness,
gentleness and benefeence

FISH IN THE DEPTHs OF THE EARTH-The
statement has been frequently made of late
years that with the water thrown up from
many of the artesian wells, recently bored
by the French in the Northern district of
the Sahara desert, small fish have been
elected from depths Of $50 to 200 feet This
statement, which has been generally dis.
credited, is now, however, proved to be true !;
NJ. Desor, the eminent Swiss naturalist, who
has recently returned from an exploration of
the northern Sahara, testifying to It's authen-
ITCHY. lie states in recent letter that he
found the fish in the stream leading from one
of the wells at the oasis Ain-Tala, where
the fish were observed when the water first
rose to the surface 1t is impossible that
these fish should come from anywhere else
| than from out of the well, for the water
! stands in no communication with either
| basin or river. The fish belong to the fami-
| ly of carps, and if | am not mistaken, to the
proper species of Cyprinodon. The most
| curious is that these fish, although coming
/ from the interior of the earth, from depth
of more than $50 feet, have nothing sickly or
misshapen about them they are of a most
remarkable liveliness, and. what is especial
ly worthy of note have fine, large complete
ly healthy eyes. We know that the fish and
other aquatic animals which are found in
the subterranean ponds of the Adelsburg
cavern in Steyermark, and in the Mammoth
cavern in Kentucky, are all blind. Their
ocular organs are stunted, and often nothing
is left OF the eye but the optic nerve. Some
naturalists, therefore, have tried to classify
them as species of their own, while Others
maintain that every organ deprived of the
opportunity to exercise its functions must
necessarily degenerate at last, and become
defective. But here we have fish from the
interior of the earth, with perfect eyes
How are we to account for this? l confess
that this phenomenon puzzles me, yet
think | have found the key to the riddle
The subterranean basin, which feeds the
artesian wells. must be of considerable di-
mensions, as the water springs up on space
of many square miles, wherever it is bored.
Besides these artificial wells, there are ponds
in several oases, especially that of Trina, fed
by rich sources, and from which real brooks
spread in different directions. These ponds
harbor the same little Cyprinodonts which
rise in the water Of the artesian wells, by
which | cohclude that a subterranean connec.
ton exists between the ponds and the wells.
Probably they visit these ponds periodically,
perhaps to spawn this would explain why
their eyes, and their formation in general
show nothing bnormal-Annual Of .Scien-
tifc Discovery.

1t Is somewhat amusing to see with
suars the fire-eating " last-ditchers come
10 their milk under the iron hand of the
Yankee" Savannah has been as inso-
lent and brasgart city as the loud
moGthed blow. hards of the South could
boast within their borders, and has had
as many :" die in the last ditch" and I" one
10 five" Falstafs as Richmond or Charles
ton. sherman marches through the en-
tire length q the Empire State of the
South. knocks at the gates of its chief city
and seaport and Hardee the Terrible and
his chivalric hosts sneak away in the night
like scared wolves. Sherman sends in two
or three regiments of his Yankee horde"
to take possession of the city, and the cit
liens headed by the Mayor make formal
surrender Of the town. Sherman issues
his stern military edicts for the govern
ment of the town. The authorities and
the people hold public meeting "aecept
the position" and pass resolutions. For
q copy of those resolutions, we refer to
the telegraphic dispatches in our columns.
One of those resolutions IS rich. The au-
thorities "do not put themselves in the
position of conquered city, asking terms
of the conquerors." They don't don't
they We should like to read the South
ern last-ditch definition Of what consti-

They don't TASK terms of their conquer
ors." 1t is full as well that they don't,
for they viii be compelled to take just
such terms as the crazy Yankee" sees
fit to dictate. They now begin to "elaim
immunities and privileges, lay aside diff
ferences and by-gones, and to ask the
Government etc., etc. They talk pretty
about " the President" and never mention
that ape at Washington" Bah! One
would have supposed that during this long
war there would have been at least one
"ditch" dug IN the vicinity of Savannah
wherein the chivalry of that hoastful city
could have found room to /" die" and save
themselves from the bitter cup of humil-

erAx1Na THE MINRs. ?


.I In glAneing over the proceedings Of the
Committee Of Fifteen at its session held
yesterday afternoon, we were somewhat
puzzled at perceiving that the question of
taxation of the mines formed subject Of
debate. We could not, at the first glance,
discover what committee, appointed by
citizens of Storey county to draft and re-
pert bill for the municipal government
of the county, could have to do with a
question of State policy, the control Of
which was vested in the State Legislature.
Upon inquiry of Mr.. Paul, one of the
committee we find that the question came
up naturally, in estimating the probable
taxable property and sources ofreyenue of
Storey county. Whether or not mines
would be considered taxable property; was
Of course matter of Legislative discretion;
but the probabilities upon the. point were
proper to be considered in estimating the
rsyenne. The proposition that ore /"
af1e it1renovalfr from the mine is personal
properly end consequently liable to tax
alton wa admitted; and one object of the
discussion was to suggest to the Lesisla-
turs the propriety Of exempting ore Of an
iSeripr value. Another object was (taking
for granted that such an exemption would
be made) to estimate the amount Of tax
able ore likely to be produced in the eoun-
ty during the coming year. The ehsrge
of inconsistency which the Usio" makes
against Mr.. Paul IN working against tax
atom of the mines when the first Constitu-
ton was before the people and voting for
e On he present. occasion. Mr. Paul ex-
pliins BY statins that he Is still opposed
70 such taxation; but IN anticipation Of
such policy being adopted, hesvotes for
the exemption above mentioned.
