THE ARcHDucHEss MATnDA.-Two days
before the coronation at Pesth the House of
Hapsburg lost one of its members by tragic
death. The Archduchess Matilda, daughter
of the Archduke Albert, some days before,
while leaning out of the window to talk TO
one of her relatives, inadvertently trod on a
luciFer match lying at her feet on the floor.
Before she was aware of it her Summer
dress was in blaze, and before any one
could run to her rescue she sank to the
ground in an agony of pain, from which
only death released her. The deceased
Archduchess was born on the Goth Of Janu-
ary, 1S49, and was therefore in her nine
teenth year. She was the second daughter
of the Archduke Albert, the victor of Gus
tozza, and granddaughter of Archduke
Charles, who distinguished himself as an
able general in the war against the first
Napoleon. Her grandfather being the brother
of Emperor Francis 1. (the grandfather of
Francis Joseph, she was second cousin OF
the present Emperor. 1t was understood
that she was soon to be betrothed to Prince
Humbert, the heir to the throne of Italy
BY all accounts she was endowed with rare
gifts of person, mind, and heart.

Two CHILDREN FALL FROM A CUPoLA OF

Sunday afternoon at Bay Ridge, whereby
two children, through the negligence oi

facts of the occurrence are stated as follows;
Residing at the Bay Ridge Hotel is family
from this city, consisting ofa Mr.. Archer, MS
wife and three chlldyen, one an infant, the
the others boy and girl, aged respectively
seven and three years. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. and Mrs. Archer went to church, leav-
inc tbo children in their room in the care oil
nurse employed for that purpose Ouring
their absence, however, the woman, 1t is
stated, left the little ones alone in the apart
ment while she went down stairs to gossip
with the servants Of the hotel. But Whlle
she was thus amusing herself the little boy
and rirl left the apartment, and ascendee

house. Having reached the top, however
and attempting to return, both OF the chil
drep fell from the platform at the cupola to-
10 the floor beneath. The girl struck on he
head, hacturing the skull so badly that til
broins oozed out. The boy suffered sever
bruises about his head and body. Medici
attendance was promptly summoned, but
last accounts the life of the girl was despai

A REPORT having been set afloat that the
Emperor of China was coming to Paris to
visit the Exhibition, the London Star doubts
it, and says: "Toung- Chi, the monarch in
question, is only twelve years of age. He
succeeded, in July, 1861, his father Hen
Foung, who died from an excess of rage
after the conquest of his palace and capital
by the English and French. Toung-chi,
whose name signifies love of order and
right reigns under the regency of Prince
Kong, the most civilized of the Chinese,
and who has concluded with the Europeans
all the later treaties OF peace and regulated
the relations of foreigners with the interior
of the empire. At so tender an age as that
of the Chinese Emperor, the utility OF a
visit for him to Paris may be safely called in
doubt"
