who has but lately become part of the family.
The empress has lately written to several friends
in Paris who once formed part of her household.
In her letter she speaks of her husband and of her
admiration of his heroic death. She has besides
sent to them photographs Of picture drawn by
herself representing the Emperor Macmillan in
the costume of a sailor gresping the Mexican nag
whilst sinking on a shipwrecked vessel. On the
reverse she has translated into Spanish the gospel
read at Miramar during the last mass at which she
and her husband were present before sailing on
their fatal expedition.
The Earl Of Shrewsbury died last week, and
the last scence on which his eyes fell was the
marrisge o. his daughter, Lady Adelaide Talbot,
with Earl Brownlow. The young couple (they
are both of an age, twentyfour) were married at
the diving mans bedside. The ''Shre wsbury case"
WILL doubtless, be in the recollection Of many of
your readers. Lord Ingestre, the new peer, is not
likely to set the Thames on fire.-LLoudon letter.

a visit to Charles Diekens-By Hans Chris

Translated for the Cincinnati Commercial from Andsrsens
Heart and World "
As soon as ! stepped into the house. Dickens
came to meet me kindly and cordially. He looked
somewhat older than he did when he babe me fare.
well ten years ago, but that was, perhaps, in part
owing to the beard which he now wore; his eyes
still sparkled as they had done at that time, the
same smile played around his lips, and his dear
voice sounded as sweet and pleasant, nay,
more so than formerly. Dickens was new in the
prime Of life, still so youthful so active SO elo-
uuent so rich in the most pleasant humor, through
which his sterling kindheartedDess always beamed
forth. As he stood before me in the first hour, so
he was and remained during ell the weeks which
passed in bis company, merry, goodnatured, and
full of charming sympathy.
We always like to find in the immediate sur
roundngs of poet the archetypes OF the char
acters whom we have learned to love in his works.
A great many persons had told me that Agnes, in
David Uopperfed, resembled Dickens's wife, and,
although il may have been quite unintentonal on
his part to make her his model, know OF no
character in his writing that comes nearer to her,
in all that is good and amiable, than this Agnes.
/ found in Mrs. Dickens a tranquility, something
so feminine and delicate, and when she spoke, her
large, mild eyes smiled so peculiarly, and such
good natured smile played round her lips, and her
voice was so pleasant, that cannot now fancy
any other Agnes than one looking precisely ike
her.
In the room where we assembled with some Of
the children round the breakfast table, 1t was so
Quiet and pleasant, so Sundsy-like; wealth OF
roses surrounded the large windows on the out.
side, and the view extended over the garden, the
beautiful fields beyond the hedges, and the hills
bordering the horizon in the rear of Rochester.
An excellent portrait of Cromwell hung over the
fireplace, and, among the other paintings adorn'
ing the walls all around, there was one which at.
tracted my attention particularly. ltrepresented
a caleche in which were seated two young ladies
absorbed in reading book, whose pages were
headed, Bleak House." The little groom, seated
in the box behind, bent forward, and furtively
read also in the book few birds 10 cages sung
the more merrily the more animated the CONVEX
sation grew in the dining room.
| During the meal Dickens took the seat Of the
head of the family at the upper end of the table
and, according to the English custom, said shor
prayer after be had seated himself; my seat wa
| by his side during the whole of my visit.

young Parisian travelling in Germany, took
the road from Strasburg to Berlin. In the car
rage he selected were four other persons, two
mammas and two daughters. The two mothers
were face to face in one corner the young man
took the opposite, and found himself face to face
with the young ladies'. Presently the collector
appeared and inquired for the passengers tickets.
The Partisan put on distracted and absent air,
and paid no attention at all when the request was
MANY times repeated. Reused at last from his
reverie in the presence of the ladies, he had re-

"What are you sayingS" be said. why do
you not speak French A"
The collector then explained by signs, the
ticket was examined, the young man returned to
his revere but not to enjoy it long, for this time
the young ladies routed him. They began in
full voice
"This young man is a very handsome one"
said one.

"Only ordinary" was the reply.
"You are too difficult to please. He has

he is too pale, and besides, you know l do not
like dark men,"
"And you know prefer dark to fair. We have
nothing but fair faces in Germany. 1t Is monot-
