Coming still further on, we find a let
ter from the Empress to the Emperor,
written from the Nile in October, 1869
The major part of the letter is of no par
ticular importance, and indeed it i
throughout chiefly remarkable for its
bad spelling, to which the editor draws
attention from time to time with (sic, J
The meaning, too, is somewhat confused,
as when she says: when one sees
other nations, one judges and appre.
ciates better the injustice of our own. !

MOTTO be discouraged, but to march IN
the path you have chosen. Good faith
in the concessions given-as, for that
matter, one thinks and says is good
thing. i hope, therefore, that your
speech will be in this sense. The more
one may require force later on, the more
one should prove to the country that one
has ideas, and not expedients. ] am
far away, and ignorant of events since
my departure, to speak so; but ] am
deeply convinced that the following OF

not make coups detdt twice in the same
region"
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times says that an unpaid bill of the
Emperors for. furniture ordered during
his stay at Philadelphia, has naturally
afforded much satisfactionto the Demo
cratic journals-l ought to say, n bill de-
claredto beunpaid, for there is nothing to
show that the Emperor really owed the
money. A. NJ. iiippolyte Haranchipy
de Rostaing writes respectfully to inform
his Majesty that, having heard him ac-
cused publicly in Philadelphia of owing
1900 francs, he had mself at once paid
the money, " in order that France and
its ruler might be respected" ;" NJ. de
Rostaing adds that he is far above all
considerations Of repayment; he would
be incapable of such bascness. His only
desire was to know if he had not been
the dupe dinfamss frip9ns," decidedly
singular reason for going to so much
trouble and expense, and unluckily, we
are not told whether the writer's disin-
terested patriotism met with its reward.

PEG WOFFINGTON.
The Famous COquette and Her Re
Iafions with Garrick. as Described

At Drury Lane, Garrick found himself
associated with his old friend Macklin
who was deputy manager, and with that
'dallying and dangerous beauty, Peg
Wellington, under whose spell he ap
pears to have fallen as early as l74O. AS
an actress, she was admirable for the
life, the nature, and the grace which she
threw into all she did, set off by a fine
person, and face which, as her por
traits show, though habitually pensive in
lits expression, was capable Of kindline
! into passion, or beaming with the sud
den and fitful lights of feeling and fancy
She had literally been picked out of the
streets of Dublin as a child crying half
penny ballads and trained by.a rope-dan
Ger, Madame Violante, as one of q Lilli
putian company, in which she figured in
such parts as Capt. Macheath.' y Like
Rachel and many other celebrated
women, she contrived, it is hard to say
how, to educate herself so that she
could hold her own in the conversa-
ton in any society; and such was her
natural grace that she excelled in char
acters like Millamant and Lady Town
ley, in which the well-bred air of good
society was essential; FRANK, klhuiy
and impulslve, she had also wit at VIII
to give plquancy 10 the expression OIL
every independent turn OF mlhd; one
never scrupled 10 avow that she pre-,
ferred the company OF men 10 that OF
