"Husb |" he said; II will trust
more to the princess than a hundred
Escobedos. We will wait for her."
"She ought to GOMEZ" said the
prince, anxiously. "She will do what
she can"
The speaker quilted his seat and
slowly walked the floor. His eye.
glass dropped unnoticed from its
perch. His fingers writhed nerv-
ously behind his back. He tried to
hum a tune, but failed. Macmillan
sank into the vacant chair. For a
few moments he was silent. Then
he lifted his eyes with a pleasant
smile, and spoke:
"You are an American or a Mexi-
can-which ?"
"Both. I was born in Guadalajara,
and have lived in the United States"
Still smiling, the archduke con-
tinued:
"The Americans, l suppose, would
not regret to hear Of my death 2"
81 think they would; they are not
such people; / hope they will not
have to hear of it."
eve shall see" The archduke's
face became sobered, and he spoke
abstractedly. II did what seemed
for the best. They deceived me. l
am afraid they will all regret.
Here he leaned his head upon his
hand, and seemed to be waiting and
listening.
The visitor sat uneasily, regarding
the two prisoners-one motionless,
the other pacing to and fro. The
barking of dog in the street, the
sounds of carousal in an opposite
building, the soldiers voices in the
sa1on, were all cruelty distinct. A
few minutes were thus spent. Then
a hustle was heard outside; the
heavy door was opened, and soldier
announced LA Sonora |"
In an instant Prince Salm Salm
had the new conner in his arms. She
was the voluntary messenger, his
wife. She had just arrived from
San Luis Potosi, from Juarez. Her
face was sunburnt and soiled; her
| shoes were torn: her whole form
trembled with nerveless fatigue as
she laid her hands upon her hus-
bands shoulders. The archduke
came forward eagerly, waiting for
his turn. The prince was heard to
ask in a whisper:
"Had you any success? What
did Juarez say ?"
"They will do what they have
said in the dispatches. They have
granted the delay" She turned to
Macmillan: 40, your majesty, I
am SO glad"
Macmillan took the princess IS
hand and kissed it. "May God bless
you, madame !" he said "you have
been too kind to one who is afraid
he can never serve you"
The princess forced smile. "Do
not be too sure Of that, your majesty.

the prince here yet"
"You will never need to ask that,
madame" responded the archduke.

"But you look weary. You are

Turning his face aside, Maximil-
ian moved abruptly toward the win,
dow. 1t was easy to see why. His
grief was restrained, but almost au.
dible. The prince, with one hand
on the back of his wife's chair, and
with the other uplifted toward the
archduke in mute prostration, could
hardly restrain his own.

PETERBoRo', N. Y, July 18th, 1867.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENTAL few
days ago, one of the most heartrend
ing scenes took place in our town,
that ever fell to the LOT of mortal to
suffer or witness. A colored servant
girl, of Mrs. Overstreet, was filling a
coal oil lamp, leaving the wick burn
ing in the meantime. The oil
caught on fire aud exploded, envel-
oping the girl in the flaming oil.
The clothes being saturated to a
considerable extent, continued to
burn, while the unfortunate victim
run through the yard utterjng the
most unearthly screams Every eff
fort was made by the family for her
relief Water was thrown upon her ;
her clothes Were attempted to be
torn of-but the fire was so sudden
and violent that in a few moments
the fame had been inhaled; and an
hour or two afterwards she expired

no School BOARD OF New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, October 80. = Mayor
Heath has vetoed the ordinance repeating
all ordinances providing for the admins
tration of public schools on the ground
that the Council makes no provision for
any other administration OF the schools,
leaving them without directors or teach
ers. The action of the Council looks as
if it is intended to involve the schools
altogether, since they have tried to. force
negroes into the white schools. The ordi-
nance was passed over the Mayors veto
by the Board Of Assistant Aldermen. 1t
has not been acted upon by the upper
board yet.
Judge Leanmoul, Of the Sixth District
Court, has decided to perpetuate the in
junction granted to the School Board re-
straining the Mayor from promulgating the
ordinance.
\ resolution was offered at meeting
of the Board of Aldermen last night re-
questing the Mayor and the authorities TO
remove the present School Board. Two
blacks voted in favor and four whites
voted against the resolution.

National Suffrage.
Special TO the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, October 50. - Revenue
Commissioner Wells arrived from the West
to-day, where he has been gathering i'm
portant facts for his forthcoming report to
Congress on the internal revenue system.
1t is understood that, as the result Of his
Investigations the past summer in Europe
and this country, he will recommend radi-
cal changes in our internal revenue affairs,
one Of which will probably be that the
Bureau be made independent of the Trea-
sury, and that officers be appointed on the
ground Of merit and honesty, and not with
reference to political influence.
All vacancies in the regular army have
Just been filled, and the President will send
to the Senate, on its meeting, large num-
Der of appointments which have been made
during the recess,
Half dozen candidates have turned
up for the Office Of solicitor Of internal
revenue, including A. B. Slonaker, Of
Philadelphia.
The visitors to the White House have
sensibly decreased for several days, thereby
giving the President much needed rest for
the preparation of his annual message and
the examination of the departmental re-
ports.
A Radical member Of Congress now here
has already prepared bill providing for
national suffrage by act Of Congress. 1t
differs in material respects from similar
bills presented by Mr.. Sumner last session,
and confines the suffrage to elections for
national officials. WALLACE.

FROM mo Lynchhurg Republican
Inc police authorities received a tclc.
graphic dispatch yesterday from one A. B
Conway, OF Powhatan county, informing
them that Z. 7. Toney and Adelaide vii
kerson would arrive on the SouthSide mail
tram, and requesting that they be appre.
hcndcd. Although no charge was specified
against them, the parties, on their arrival,
were met by the police, and were taken
INTO custody, with their baggage. Being
brought up to the police office, they were
mtcrrogatcd as TO the offence alleged
against them. Mrs. Wilkerson, some
what faded relic Of thirty years Of age,
unioded the following narrative: Con-
way was married man, she said, who had
left his wife, and wanted to marry her.
she, on the contrary, had set her alice
tons on Mr.. TCncy, who gracioLsly re-
cclved and returned the same. But Conway
had sworn great oath that he would muir
der anybody who espouSed the bcwitch-
ing widow, and the prudent Mr.. Toncy,
not anxious to be murdered, had thought
1t best TO leave Powhatan and 60 to Bristol
TO have the nuptial knot made fast. The
twain were then informed that if this was
al, VIZ I'hia N.Sl Illdl leu do SoOll
as they chose. The woman then intimated
to Toncy that he had better tell the whole
truth about it: and Tonev, being so
prompted, confessed that he also was
married and had run away from his wife.
Colonel Brown remarked that he must be
as grand a scoundrcl as Conway. Mr..
Toney piteousy answered that his wife
was the very devil and used him very
badly. Mrs. Wilkcrson asked if anything
could be done with them. They were in
formed that they could not be prosecuted
for what they had done so far, but il
they proceeded further, Toncy would be
sent to the pcnitcntiary for bigamy. They
were then turned loose, and left for a
hotel, avowing as they went away their
purpose to return to Powhatan and give
over their matrimonial scheme.
