The Empress Eugene Of German De-
.r.rs.. scent.

Tt is probably known to few readers that
tho Empress Eugene has German blood in
her veins. Gustave Rasch, German
tourist traveller, who generally manages to
scrape up all the interesting and qiquant
items of gossip in his wanderings, has
lately been through Spain. In one of his
letters to an Austrian paper he says:
''ln Malaga, many years ago, there lived
poor German toy dealer, who had q very
beautiful daughter, to whom the third son
of Count Montijo, wealthy Andalusian,
began to make love. The toy dealer's
beautiful daughter was IS sensible as she
was beautiful, however, and repelled the
advances of the yonng count, saying,
Without marriage, no love The young
count was, however, really lii love with the
poor girl and, in spite Of the opposition
Of his father and his whole family, he
married her. The old count was enIaged
at this, Withdrew every, income from his
sou, and the married life of the young
couple was ut first very gloomy. But the
young countess had fortune the two older
brothers of her husband died. and the
latter became the heir to the title and pos
sessions of his rich father. The daughter
of this poor German girl is the Empress OF
the French the wife of Louis Napoleon. y

From the New York Herald, July g
what the Word Cooiie Means
Most Americans and Europeans, who al

Most Americans and Europeans. who are
unacquainted with Chinese life, imagine
that the word coolie embraces in its NEAL
ing oil the population Of the Chinese en-
piie which is devoted to agriculture and
the varlous departments of productive in
dustry. This is an error. The word coolie
is Bengal, and signifies laborer, and is not
Chinese at ali. 1t is used by the popula-
tions of the scaboard towns, who, for the
most part, speak, in common with the for
eign residents whit is called "Pigeon
English, to designate particular class of
employees. There are s. coolie Eiggers,' -
"coolie carpenters" SO coolie deck hands, y
house coolies," &c, but they form q
separate class from the population around
them. In like manner the word mandarin
is generally supposed in this country and
in England to be Chinese term bnt it is
not It is also Pigeon English, and is de-
rived from the Portuguese word man
dar," to command. Being accepted by the
foreigners OF the seaboard as entirely salts
factory, tho Chinese themselves, VINO take
kindly to the absurdities and facilities of
the " Pigeon English" for the transaction
of business, have adopted it into their
vocabulary. In like mannor many other
words, common to both natives and
foreigners in China. are misunder-
stood in the homes of the 81 out
side barbarians,'' and being mis1nder-
stood, are of course misapplied. For in
stance tho epithet " coolies" applied to
emigrants from China to California, and
fastened on these enterprising people in
the Golden State, is a misnomer. Yet
thousands believe that the Pacific States
are being overrun by different class OF
Chinese laborers from what they actually
are. The Chinese, who labored SO faith
fully and we'll in the building of the Pa
eitic railroad. and who form so important
and valuable an element in the laboring
population of the State of California are
not coolies properly so-called, but emil
grants from China seeking for higher re-
muneratiOn and better means of subsist-
ence than was afforded them in the central
fowery land. Very many Of them, it is
true enter into contracts with wealthy
merchants of China, to do specified
amount Of work and stay a certain length
of time in the territory Of Uncle Sam, and
agree to terms understood and agreed upon
before they leave the coast of China, just
as coolies agree with coolie agents at Chi,
nese sea ports; but they are entirelya diff
ferent class of people. The majority are
emigrants from China, Who have volunta-
rily left the shores of the Celestial Empire,
just as Irishmen have abandoned their mud
cabins in Connaught or Munster to seek
wider field and higher scale of remune-
ration in the teeming West and like the
Irish they pay their own way, and are
" free and independent from the start

beneficial to the south. .. .a..

A Strange Incident of the Late War
Brought TO Light. ....

While our newly-appointed register OF
the land office here-Mr Maxwell, colonel
of the First Michigan cavalry during the
war-was bnsily engaged in his office, a
tall, military looking gentleman walked in,
whom he instantly recognized as Mr.. Henry
E. Lee, nephew Of General Robert E. Lee,
and colonel Of the First Virginia cavalry
during the war. The recognition was mu-
tual, and called up bitter and painful remi-
niscences Of events that occurred during
the terrible conflict between the armies of
the North and the Southern Confederacy
IT appears that during the war the First
Virginia and First Michigan cavalry hap
pened to be arrayed each against the other
and the feeling of animosity between the
two regiments was as bitter as that enter
tanned towards each other by two single
persons who are deadly enemies At the
famous battle of Gettysburg the two regi-
ments fought face to face, each learning to
respect and hate the other for blows given
and the courage displayed.
Between Colonels Maxwell anil Lee the
leaders of the two regiments, the hate en-
tertained by the respective members of
each regiment seemed to concentrate, and
when the contending armies were engaged
on James river, the two colonels met face
to face, and there swore to fight it out in a
personal conflict. The resolve was no
sooner formed than executed, and deter
mined and deadly conflict Immediately en-
sued, the two regiments for the time being
mere spectators. The result was that Max
we'll received a sword thrust ia the groin,
and Lee had his shoulder disabled
Since that day up to yesterday we sup.
pose that the two men have never met, and
it may well be supposed the meeting was a
strange one, and that singular feelings
were evoked OH the occasion. They both
bear the ineffaceable marks of hard service
Colonel Maxwell has lost one leg and has
sustained other serious physical injuries,
while the left arm of Colonel Lee is disa-
bled by the wound received in his conflict
with Colonel Maxwell -Des, U1ah, Ne,cS.

New York Journal of Commerce says:
Professor Lorin Blodgett, U. S. APP
praiser at large, whose office is in Phila
delphia, was sent for by Secretary Bout
we'll to examine samples of the sugars seiz-
ell 10y revenue officials at st. Louis for be-
ing entered and sent from New Orleans
without payment of dnty. The first lot of
samples which were forwarded to him at
Philadelphia, proved to be all foreign su-
gars, but upon reaching here he found
that many Of the other lots, in fact about
half the entire seizures, were of domestic
production. At Mr.. Blodgett's suggestion
the Secretary has reserved his decision in
the case until he shall take the samples to
Philadelphia and inspect them in compa-
ny with the other experts in his office

AFTERNOON SESSION.

The meeting was called to order at q p. m. by
the Chairman, who stated the question to be the

and his Direc had met and appointed their
officers.
Several good humored jokes were passed.
Ool Cowan arose and said that all this joking
was out of place, when such serious questions
