Ii ~ sad story; that OF CARLoTTA, an Elk
press yesterday, maniac to-day. One o.
the touching episodes in the rough course o.
political events. The deep planning man o.
the Tuieries with the shadow Of restles,
ambition in his heart, with the policy of Ma
PoLEoxIc aggrandizement, q motive fixed q,
Fate, squirting him forward, is responsible
for this blighted life. CARLorTA is at the
chateau of Miramar, at Trieste raving in
at the bidding of NAroLEos, three years ago
across a hemisphere to found an Empire. II
is the old tragedy of Lady JANE GREY over
again; everything lost through the ambition
of Northumberland.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Ford tells the story tells it well.
CARLorTA was q simple ArchsDuchess when
those three years began mistress of little
household and remote chateau. NAPOLEON
said she should be an Empress. He had 8
new Nostrum he would experiment with; i.
was his scheme Of restoring the supremacy
OF the Latin race. 1t might succeed or it
might fail. Failure would be ruin and death
to the party experimental upon. 1t was
naught to him save personal fear that fall
ure might fasten the charge of empiricism
upon himself. He cared nothing for his VIC
Tins. CARLorTA was one Of them.
For MAxIxlrLIAs and CARLorrA went to
Mexico. The little bright sky that they
hailed joyously upon reaching their capital
was lost shortlyin clouds; clouds whose folds
got thicker.
Now the Worlds correspondent shall tell
the rest:
''Money ceased to come from abroad. The
new Emperor's credit was dishonored. He
became q less worshlpper and more Q mon
arch, and he sequestrated the chat.els of the
church. They retorted with menace and con.
spiracy. The vanity Of anticipation fell to
poverty in his vile. She rsigned in her wife

came in her heartfelt eyes. Stricken in this
short dream, her prayers grew more frequent;
but now she prayed With doubt, because the
