here different story about her from that usu-
ally told, and I give it as it came to my ears
She was the ilegitimate daughter OF French
officer and an Irish widow of position ana
brilliancy, who became attracted to each other
in Paris. Her mother lived In Dublin, but
came TO Limerick to c0ceal her condition
The child was given to an honest ana respect
able family to rear rs their own, receiving
liberal sum for its education and support At
ten the little Eugene was sent to convent III
France, where she displayed remarkable pre-
cocity, and at thirteen was considered q para
gon of beauty At fifteen she had formed a
clandestine correspondence with Spanish OH
Ger, who had seen her while visiting his SISTER
at the convent. She eloped with HIM 10 Mad
rid, and' after living as his mistress for year,
was deserted by him. She then returned TO
Paris, where she had numerous udlS0nS, ana
while travelling in Italy is reported to have
fought duel with al Italian count, and wound
ed him, because he had insulted her III the
street. She had acquired various manly ac-
complishments, especially in the use OF arms
and suffering from the outrage offered her as
a woman, she donned masculine attire the day
following and threw u glass OF wine IN the
face of her nsulter in one OF the fashionable
cafes of Milan After various adventures and
ntrigueS. she went upon the stage, and ms an
actress won the heart of the old king OF BaVa-
ria. After that her life became well known
Her neither lost all traces Of her alter the
elopement aud tried in vain 10 trace her, She

A TEIBrTE TO GIN. LEE.--Thc celebrated
English scholar, George Long. has published Il
new and revised edition of his translation ot
the "Thoughts of the Emperor NJ. Aureilns
AntOninus" In his preface he complains that
the American reprint OF his book has been
dedicated by the publishers without consulting
him, and then adds the following eloquent trlb-
ute to General Lee:
IL have never dedicated d book To any man,
and if dedicated this, should choose the man
whose name seemed to me most worthy to be
Joined to that OF the Roman soldier and phllos-
ophcr | might dedicate the book to the sue
ccssful General who is now the President OF
the United States, with the hope that his M
tegrity and justice will restore peace and hap
piness, 80 far as he can, to those unhappy
States which have suffered so much from war
and the unrcIenting hostility of wicked men
But, as the Roman poet said.
victrix causa Deis placuit sed victa Catoni.
and if dedicated this little book to any man,
| would dedicate it to him who led the Conted-
crate armies against the powerful invader,
and retired from an unequal contest defeated,
but not dishonored; to the noble Virginia sol
der, whose talents and virtues place him by
the side of the best and wisest man VINO sat on
the throne OF the Imperial CRsars.'
