NAPOLEON AND EUGENE "A Paris letter
gives'the following description Of the personal
appearance Of the Emperor and Empress, at
the recent grand BALI at the Tuileries: "The
Emperor looks a shade older and more care
worn, and has a still more fshy CLASSY look out
of his eyes than last year, but it is Yard to at
tach to his general appearance the signs of the
fatal disease under. which he is said to be Ian
gushing. The GEmpress,4lit cannot be dis
guised, grows visibly older Her bright smile
has vanished, the lines the face are becoming
hard, and there is a look of anxious care invad-
ing her physiogn only, which betrays more than
the Emperor's expressionless mask that there
is something. to dread in nsthe future. Her
Majesty is still beautiful, stllfu of grace, but
the mark Of time is upon her."

LEGISLATURE OF VIRGINIA. In the Senate,
on Friday, there was debate in regard to the
bill to Incorporate the Danvii,c Real Estate
Manufacturing Company. Mr.. Ould, Of Rich
mond, and Mr. McRea, of Chesterfield, made
able arguments against the bill, and forcbly
presented the grounds Of its unconstitutional
~. Senator Keen ably advocated it, but
it was defeated by an overwhelming majority.
The House bill to amend the fence law, vas
passed The amendment prcscribcs the height
and character OF legal fence.
The bill to extend and define the corporate
limits Of the city Of Richmond was laid on
the table with certain amendments proposed
by Mr. Coleman but will probably be act
cd on early next week. Mr.. Robinson gave
notice that he will call up Monday and propose
as the order Of the day for Tuesday the till
known as the > Consolidation Ralroad
Scheme. :" -. 81. ~. .........- w..
The Senate determined to take recess until
Monday in order to afford the committees time
to prepare business for action. This recess
vas necessary on account Of the accumulation
Of bills before the committees.
The House was engaged principally in dis
cussing the resolution to print the laws in some
newspaper, and finally dismissed the resolution
by vote Of ayes, Al noes 81. The Standing
Committees made reports Of different matters
referred to them. Several bills of local inter-
est only were passed. House bill to regulate
express transportation was taken up and passed
by, and a substitute offered therefor by Mr. Il.
Turner ordered to be printed.-R1ch. Eng.
In the House Of Delegates, on Friday, House
bill 1877, to Incorporate the Alexandria Dock
Company coming up, Mr.. Kilby said the bill
allowed the company to borrow money at ten
per cent, and he thought it unjust as we'll as
inconsistent to refuse to individuals the rights
granted to incorporated companies Mr.. Robert
son said The House had allowed the privilege
to many com panes, and hoped it would not
refuse TO grant it in this instance. Mr.. Kilby
did not oppose the bill which he should vote
for, but he thought the conduct Of the House
Inconsistent The bill was passed by.

L01au,S LOYALTY.

As John A. Logan has recently delivero
himselfOf violent invective against tie
South, in which he took occasion to say
that had he been the captor of jeff. Davis
he would have hung him on the spot, it is
well to inquire who is Logan, and what
claims can he rightly set up to loyalty
1t is well known that in 1861 Logan was
disloyal-the most ultra secessionist in
Southern Illinois. He made no secret of
his denunciations of the war and its OBJ
ject. In May of that year, he was attend
ing court at McLeansboro. in Hamilton
county. Bills were posted around
town announcing that there would
be Union meeting" at the court
house, and that the meeting would be ad-
dressed by the Hon. S. S. Marshall, then
judge of this judicial circuit. In antieipa-
tion of the meeting, some of the boys raised
the stars and stripes over the court house.
Shortly after this Logan came out of one OF
the hotels, in company with the late Ches-
ter Carpenter, and seeing the flag wavin g
over the courthouse, asked, vii h an oath,
what it meant? Upon being informed, he
commenced In the most vehement manner,
to denounce the war and Judge Marshall, ,ad-
dine that "he would not speak under that
Cd id flag" and at the same time pull
ed out his knife and started il the direction
of the flag, with the evident intention OF
cutting it doom! He was. restrained bv the
counsels of Mr.. Carpenter, Cloyd Crouch
and others. Noo0 this is a fact, and we make
the charge publicly. We can furnish the
testimony OF plenty of better men than
Logan to substantiate what we charge
According to his own idea of the penalty
which should attach to treason, he ought
himself to be "hung without Judge OF
jury."-M. YerRon (Ii) Free Press.

The Rocks of Calvary.

In Fleming's fChristology,p tits stated
that an unbeliever, visiting the sacred
places of Palestine'w was shown the clefts of
Mount Calvary. Examining themnarIowly
and critically, he turned in amazement to
his fellow-travelers and said, !" have long
been a student of nature, and l am sure
that the rents and clefts in this rock were
never done by nature, or an ordinary earth
quake;. for by such a concussiono the rock
must have split according to its veins, and
where it was weakest in the adhesion of
parts; for this" he said.t u have observed
10 have been done in other rocks when sep
arated or broken after an earthquake, and
reason tells me it must always be so. But
it is quite otherwise here; tor the rocks are
split athwart and across the veins, in a
strange and preternaturalt manner and
therefore," he said, ~ thank God that
came hither to see the standing monument
of miraculous power by which God gives
evidence to this day of the delivery of
Christ" .;fr -. a...s -.-- ,.., ..,r. t.-,.

Henry Benedict Maria Clement Stewart,
Cardinal York, the last male representative
of the Stuart family, was born in Rome in
1725, died in Venice in 1907. He was the
Younger brother of the Pretender, Charles
Edward (the Prince Gharly of Scottish
songl, whom he was preparing to aid with
a body of French troops assembled at Dun
kirk, when the overthrow of the Jacobtes
at Colloden ruined the Stuarts cause in
Britain. He subsequently, took orders in
tie Roman Catholic Church, and in 1747
was appointed by Benedict XIV Car
dihal. On the death of his brother, in
1873, he assumed the title of King of Eng
land as Henry TX, grGtiG Del non Uolu1ttdte

be struck of the occasion declared He
was sub eqdently obliged to take refuge
f ON French invasion in Venice, and dur
ing the last years of his life was dependent
upon the British Court for means of sub
siStenee. He was the last male of the Stu
art family. and with his death the line be-
came extinct. Its chief branches in the
female line are the houses of Savoy and
Orleans and the Duke of Modena, all de-
scended from Henrietta Maria, daughter o
Charles |. of which king the present Duke
tof Modena is the lineal representative
being thus, but for the act of settlement
heir to the crown of England. There are
two families of the name of Stuart on this
continent that claim falsely to be the de.
scendants of the Stuarts, and if they are
descendants they cannot be the Legitimate
lineal representatives. because the last male
of the line died a priest, and was neve
married; and the females, on marriage
changed their names. One of these female
