Sketch of Emperor Maximilian.
Ferdinand Macmillan, Joseph Archduke
of Austria, aud so-caled Emperor of Mex
leo and the head of the Mexican branch of
the Hapsburgs, was born at the Austrian
Imperial residence at Schonbrunn, on July
6, 1882, and is consequently in the thirty
fourth year of bis age. His father was the
Archduke Francois Charles Joseph, Arch
duke of Austria, and his mother Sophie
Dorethee, daughter of Maximilian l, King
of Bavaria He had the misfortune to be
a second sou, and has in consequence be.
come sort of royal adventurer. His faith.
er was never Emperor of Austria, as has
been stated, but being like Max, second
SON, was only Archduke 1t was Maximil'
ian's uncle, Ferdinand, who was the prede.
cessor of Francis Joseph. When his uncle
abdicated, in l84S, the father of Maximi!.
ian and Francis Joseph reDounced his place
in the line of succession in favor of the
present Emperor The abdicating Emperor
in giving up his throne unequally divided
his dover, and gave an advantage to the
Archduke Maximilian, to the detriment OF
his elder brother Such is the origin of
the constant, and at times, very warm diff
ferences which have arisen between the
two.
Maximilian was brought up at the gayest
capital in Germany, but does not appear to
have much taste for frivoities. He spent
greater part of his youth in travelling, lie
has been a sailor and has seen good deal
of the world of waters, at least for an Aus
trian Arohduke. In his early years be
sailed about the Mediterranean, and visited
all the adjacent countries-Greece, Italy,
Morocco, French Algeria, Spain and Por'
tugal-with great zeal and activity. AT
the close of twenty-five he was placed at
the head of what is termed by courtesy the
Austrian Marine, and with squadron Wis
tied the coast of Syria aud Palestine. He
went also to the Red Sea, and took great
interest in the works of the Suez Canal,
which was then just beginning. In all this
be showed himself young man of proper
manners and active habits, desirous OF E.
mancipatng himself from the fetters OF
worn out and obsolete habits, aud the mar
row. minded principles and punctilios of his
race and family. 1t is related of him that

"Dear Sir : have your letter enclo'
sing q petition to the Congress of the Uni.
ted States, asking to be indemnifed for the
loss By fire of your house, and contents, at
the time of our occupation in February,
1865. assure you that I feel deeply for
you and all others who lost their property
in the fire but if the United States were
to assume the liability, it would be an ad-
mission that We had done wrong. This is
not true. The rightful authority of the
National Government had been resisted In
the State of South Carolina for years, and
We were compelled, at a great cost of life
and money, to conduct thitber vast army,
and our progress was resisted by all the
force the State could obtain. Your own
citizens resisted our approach, not only with
arms, but by burning the bridges over the
Edisto, Congaree, Saluda and Broad rivers.
They burned the depot in Columbia before
we entered the city, because it contained
corn and stores they supposed we needed,
and set fire to thousands of bales of cotton
rolled out into the streets, and which were
burning before We entered Columbia. 1
myself was in the city as early as noon and
saw those fires, and knew that efforts were
made to extiuguish them, but a high and
strong wind kept them alive. I gave no
orders for the burning of your city, but, on
the contrary, the reverse, and l believe the
conaagration resulted from the great impru'
dsnce Of cutting the cotton bales, whereby

The shifting and scrapiug came again,
and Ned Bowers, with immense gratilica.
tion recognized the presence of his late Ca
nine friend.
sWalla-Wslla = be whispered.
The dog gave low cry of recognition.
you we're right Walla, boy2' said
Ned. The stranger a0as rascal-though
he seemed to know your dear young mis-.
tress and all about her But his coffee was
too strong for US !
At this moment there was the report Of
pistol-shot in the cavern, and in the con-
fined air of the place it was very loud,
quite startling Ned who was on the point of
leaving the cask.
You iufernalbrute r exclaimed ho,rse
voice, Il hope bad you there!' 1t was the
voice of Moore, who had been left in
charge.
i hope you didn't thought Ned, as the
echoes of the pistol-shot died away.
I All was still-The dog made no sound.
Then Ned heard the voice muttering:
Oh, hang them all hang them all 1
only just wish I could get hold of my share
of the swag-I would, and leave them all
to swing! But Kin Kaid keeps it so close
and he won't divide till the five years are
up, which we swore to-and which he
makes US keep! A wonderful man is the
Captain! We may be pirates, and we may
be wreckers-but be makes US do just as
he likes Yes! a wonderful man is Kin
Kaid But what the deuce did that dog
want here, wonder?
The man who had uttered this soliloquy
now gave himself sudden hoist, and sat
on the top of the cask beneath which was
Ned Bowers. He sat quiet for moment
and then commenced drumming his heels
against the cask, finally broke out in whis'
tie, and then spoke in tone of soIiloquy
as before
That Witch is the cap'n's weak point 1

Ned Bowers now listened as intently as
did the rufian seated on the cask, aud he
thought he heard footsteps on the. rough
pathway which led from the beach to the
level country, though he could not imagine
how it was that the cavern was so near the
gorge as to enable him to hear footsteps
upon it. He determined to suddenly make
an effort to overturn the oask, and then
grapple with the rufiau but be remem
bered that he was entirely uuarmed while
the pirate had pistols. He resolved to wai'
