The ex-Empress of Mexico is IN an
alarming condition. She has become
perfectly idlotlc. She rarely quits her
bed, and consequently has become so
obese her physicians are beginning to be
sfraid she will soon be suffocated by fat.
At tImes she screams with the utmost
terror she is haunted by the fear she
will be poisoned or smothered. The
royal family Of Belgium is sorely tried.
The Prince Royal Is doomed. He was
recently punotured, which was some re-
lief. Before the operation he was so
swollen with water he looked as II be
had the ehphantissis when he stood up
his legs looked like bags; when he laid
down his head was swollen like an
Oriental water skin, and looked like
nothing human, The King cannot bear
the sight OF his child he wsndeFs about
the palace, weeping, and cannot tear
himself, nevertheless, from the child's
chamber. The Queen never quits the
child except to snatch g mouthful of food
or fsw hours sleep, or to make pill
grimsge to the Notre Dame de Schent.
There is no Joy In the palace. 81 .

Auber n. the Cous.rva,o,re

Despite his eighty and odd years,
Auber, the great French composer, has
preserved the full vigor and freshness of
bis mental faculties. He is President OF
the Partisan Conservatoire, and presides
IN this capacity at the meetings OF the
Jury that has to decide upon the value Of
the compositions submitted to 1t. While
his colleagues take q great deal OF trouble
In studying the compositions and quarrel
about the distribution of the prizes,
Auber sits seemingly half asleep, as Ii
utterly ignorant of that which is geing
on around him. Suddenly he starts up,
finds in one OF the compositions beauties
which escaped his colleagues, calls their
attention to them, and surprises them
by the keennses Of bis appreeiations.

Sometime since q deer escaped from
the forest Of FOn taineblesu and took
refuge in village near NemouFs, where
it devastated the peasants fields. The
owners went to the Mayor and begged
him to abate the nuisance. He put on
his blue stockings, new wooden clogs,
official tri-eolOred scarf, iuto which ne
thrust his red umbrella, and set out to
Fontaineblesu to speak to the Emperor.
Introduced to his Msjesty, he said
:. Sire, a deer which has escaped from
the Imperisl Menagerie, infilets on my
constituents very heavy losses. l come
to ask your Majesty topreyent the afore-
said deer from tTespassiug on nay said
constituents" The Emperor asked
" What is the amount of loss sustained
by your constituents 2" May 1t please
your Majesty, the loss Is at lesst-thirty
francs" The Emperor gave him five
hundred franc bank note, saying: PAY
them with this. Moreover, l authorizs
to kill the deer if you see it again in
your fields, although the hunting season
IS not yet Open." The Mayor returned
home Supplied with joy. The next day
the whole village turned out to kill tbs
deer and that night two immense bar
rels of wine were opened aud drank on
the public square cf the village, which
was illuminated, aGd all the villagers
danced around the deer, which was
rvastod and eaten.

Even during the terrible heat OF last
summer Auber was present at ali meet
ings, and seemed not to be at ail ex-
hausted. In fact, this extraordinary
mortal, to all appearances, needs but
very little repose. He does not go to
bed until two or three in the morning,
sleeps only two or three hours, and Is
often at day break already at his writing
table. He then goes to the CoDserva-
toire end performs his official duties.
Afterward he takes q long walk, dimes at
six, and from eight till several hours
after midnight he is TO be found every

The queen of spain In Tears.
The st. Sebastian correspondent of the
Paris Temps writes as follows:
Her Majesty and the King Consort ar
rived at midnight at the iation, followed
IN other carriages by their children and
some ladies of honor; her Majesty was
in tears, and walked up and down fn,the
portico, and the persons who had gsth-
cred at the spot uncovered but main
tainad dead silence. "Let us CO." at
last said the Queen, and she entered the
railway carriage. The royal party being
seated, the locomotive was attached, but,
at the moment when the conductor OF
the train was about to give the signal for
starting, two dispatches were brought,
and they must have been Of exceeding
gravity, for her Majesty immt diately
sliehted. and to NJ. Gonzalez Ersvo, who
implored her not to return to Madrid.
said "If could wear mans attire, /
should at once proceed 10 my capital"
Isabella then covered her face with her
hands, and with streaming eyes re-
gained the waitlug-room, and thence her
residence. The Minister said to her Ma
jesty, while conducting her back:
+" They are perfectly respectful, but ali
be.ray you.b The royal carriages hsv-
ing departed, the Governor of 81. Ssbas-
tiau placed his own at her Msjesty's ser
vice, and returned to his hotel on foot.

Napoleon III. and His Generals.

A correspondent writes to the Allge-
meine ZsitlRg from the Camp of Cha
ions "On Sunday I saw the Emperor
and his whole stsff at the high mass.
By his side stood BIzsine, Regnsult de
St Angely, Canrobert, Vsillsnt and
Montsuban. II case there should be war
between France and Prussia, which of
these officers would become General in
chief of the army2 In French military
circles Bazsine Is believed to be the man
in whom the Emperor reposes most con-
fidsnce. CaHrObert is q good enough
Bonapartist, but an eXcreable General
Valiant is seuile Sybsrite, who never
amounted to much as a soldier; MOntau-
ban, though a clever General, has such
bad character that the Emperor does not
even venture to confer a maTsha's baton
on him and, as for Ragnsult, he is very
old, ana there was, some time ago, even
talk OF the Emperor's intention 10 re-
move him from the command or the
Guard, McMshon will, no doubt, be left
in Algeria, il there should be war bs-
tween France and Prussia; both the
Emperor and the Empress suspect him
strongly of Orleansism F.; and old Random
is not fit to lead q brigade, much less to
command e host of several hundred
thousand men. The soldiers and line
officers in the camp are convinced that
war viii bresk out next fall, and most of
them, espseislly the non-commissioned
officers, seem to be very anxious for that
event. The Emperor would be nomi-
nalIy ommander-in-chief,b but remain at
Strasburg. He is no longer able to bear
the hardships of campaign. Generals
Trochu aud Lebeuf will be the real
leaders of the French army. The soldiers
speak very highly of them, but pretend
to despise Bazaine."

Confederate Officers.

We sees a Virginia paper 4 long list of Confcdcr-
ate officers headed Present whereabouts and Occu-
rations of Men prominent in the Confederate Ser
vice, and although it is well known that North
Carolina officers and soldiers the backbone of
the Confcderacy. and that without their aid the
would havG proven utter failure two years before
is close, We do not see the name of Il single North
Carolinian in the list. We merely mention the mat
ter to show how the services of brave North Caro-
lnans have been ignored by Virginia papers and
others.
Those who prepare suck lists must be very ignOr-
ant indeed if they do know the whereabouts and
occupation of many North Carolina officers. Here
in Charlotte we have living three General officers
who did much any others for the cause of the
South. Maj. Gen. d. IL. Hill from Colonel to
Of the highest commands in the Army. and now
publishes Of the popular Magazines in the
country. Brig. Gen. II. d. Johnston went into the
war Lieutenant in 1861, and came out
Brgadicr Gencral-hc fought hravcly all through
the war. and was severely wounded in the head and
neck on three different occasions. Gen Rufus Bar
ringer went in Captain and was promoted to a
trigadier General of Cavary-he too. did good
vice and WAS woundcd-both are practicng Law in
,tNarlote-but You never their names or that Of
any other North tarolinian in the Virginia papers or
in the humbug histories gotten up in Virginia. We
don't like such treatment.
Besides the three General officers named above we
have living here Col III c Jones of the 9th C.
Regiment, Col. W. Lee Davidson of the It'll Col f.
4. Osborne of the 18th, Col z Vance iex-Ciov of

E=y"A meeting of the Republican party of Raleigh,
week before last nominated Judge Chase for Prcsi-
dent. Joseph W. Holden, Esq, made speech and
EXPRESSED preference for Chase. lie preferred that
Gem Grant should renal at the head of the army.
While on the subject Of Presidential nominations,
it may be interesting to what Washington cor
respondent of the y. Y Express says about the mat
ter, follows
.Gcncral Grants letter to the President endorsing
the corrupt and dcsl,"tic Stanton, has mate rIa Y
damaged. if totally destroyed his prospect for the
nomination. Mr. Speaker COlfaX declared to a Dem
ocratic friend. that Grant would not secure the
nomination. Others. equally well informed, declare
that Chase will have every of the southern dele
ratcs that this is fixed fact. and that he, beyond Il
prradvcnturc, will be nominated on the first ballot.
The truth is Chase has been engaged i'll pipelay ing
for the last years, for thus very object. ana to
promote it. Slragues money has been freely used.
The National Banks. moreover have not been back
ward in coming forward for their great rrogenitor.
This is the way the immaculate Chict-Ju>tice and his
sattelitcs have blocked the game against all COM
pctitOrs
