Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1867-09-27

The poet Barthelemy, who died lately
10 France, received some odd obituary
notices. Here is one from the Saint
PH6lc, Of Lyons : HE served all par
ties, and took money from all dynasties
and governments Of France. His poeti-
cal talents were very inferior. The less
there is said about him the better.p
The "fnest woman in the world " is
being exhibited 10 q booth on the
Champs de Mars. Those who visit her
are addressed by her in the following
modest style "I am the most beautiful
woman ia the world. No, empress, no
queen, can compare with me. You are
st liberty to touch me, n1essieurs you
will find that there il no cotton about
me.p Very few Of the visitors, however,
avail themselves OF this permission.
The telegraph Office at salzburg took,

Napoleon and Francis Joseph, more
money than it received during the pre-
viOus five years. "The correspondentof

There is a good deal Of talk in the pO-
litieal circles Of Brussels on the interview
which poor Carlotta had, a few days ago,
with the Duke d'Aumale and the Prince
de Joinville, and at which she gave more
than n proof of sound understanding,
although some persons consider her
hopelessly insane. The queen Of Bel
GUM was at Tervueren when the Orleans
princes arrived there, and il was she who
introduced them into the room where
the empress was at the time. "CarlOtta,1
she said to her, in her usual
familiar manner, "here are our
uncles from England, who come
to bid you good day" "Ah, my
uncle Henry exclaimed Csrlotta, hast

after embracing him, she added, "and

Duke d'Aumale replied 10 her,
and told her all about America,

tiently now at him, now at his brother,

Mexico. But, az the Duke d'AUmale

him what he thought Of the Brs8iliaa
She then spoke of Paraguay, Mar
Unique, and almost all countries adjoin-
ing to Mexico, as if to compel her uncles
to touch the question which interests her
above all things. But this was Of no
avail. She did not succeed In attaining
her object, and she herself did not utter
the word which she seemed to have con-
on her lips. She spoke with a
great deal of understanding, and o
without q certain dslicacy, OF the affairs
of the different American states. How
ever, every other moment her wild, en-
baTrassed name returned. She trem-
bled, without any reason whatever, and
turned around so wildly, as if she was
afraid that some one would stab her in
the back. Finally, the unfortunate en-
press took leave of her visitors, in a
cold manner. She seemed to be
at their silence about Mexico.
