How the shams Live.

L have been to see Mrs. Shaml
Fisrt she came to see me- she was
splendidly arrayed in silk and satin, and
her fingers we're encrusted in diamonds,
and she descended from an elegant car
riage with the superb air of one at home
in such belongings; she was somewhat
fussy and condescending, and talked a
good deal about her colored servants, her
nurse, her cook, but l felt a good deal
impressed with her magnifcence and
her diamonds, and forgave her oc-
casional bad grammar and slang phrases
on the score of a carriage. And when
she went away and | stood choking in
the dust Of her chariot wheels, | thought
how easy it was to sacrifice republican
simplicity to the bonus of wealth and po-
sition. 1t may he healthy to ride in a
wheelbarrow, but | think i prefer a
coupee. rrr-r
Well, | went to see Mrs. Sham. found
her aristocratic house in a fashionable
part of the city, and rung the silver door
bell with little shivering rush of awe
for the splendor was to witness. The
door opened, and slatternly mulatto
girl confronted me, greasy, ill-natured
and stolid. / offered her piece of
pasteboard, which she did not deign to
notice, but jerked herself along an inodo-
rous oil-clothed hall, to door, where she
held whispered conference, and was
beckohed in. There | found Mrs. SHAM
my beautiful pink and white, smiling,
elegant Mrs. Sham, in disordered
calico, with no hair on, and no complex
ion. A weary, jaded woman, who kept
a fashionable clearinghouse, that she
might dress up one day in the week, and
press outsiders with the glory Of her po-
sition. | heard the little Shams quarrel
ing in the basement ! saw old Sham
skulking in the hall, dishevelled and
blear-eyed. Their magnidcence van
ished, like Cinderellas at the striking Of
the clock, and left, sadly wondering if
the bubble were worth the effort to blow
it; if one day Of bought pleasure were
indeed an atonement for weeks Of care
and privation-living life of monu-
mental lies = Cricket, in Chicago Jour

Marrying Young,

A few days since we'll dressed and
handsome youth, of some eighteen years
of age, appeared before one of our city
magistrates and asked if he could en-.
gage his services to perform marital
ceremony. The reply was in the affirm,

shortly afterward returned, accompanied

The town of st. Cloud, from which the
royal residence takes its name, is stu.
ated in the department of Seine-et- Disc
five and half miles west of Paris, on
the slope Of hill on the west bank Of
the Seine, and on the line of railway be-
tween Versailles and Paris. The popu-
lation is about FIVE thousand. The cha
teau, which has just been destroyed, was
originally the property Of the Orleans
family has long been the favorite sub
urban residence Of French monarchs,
and is intimately connected with some
of the most important events of French
history. Henry IV was assassinated
here BY Jaques Clement in 1889; IT was
here that Bonaparte broke up the assem-
bly, Of FIVE hundred, and was made First
Consul, November 3, 1893; and here, too,
Charles X, July 10, 1880, signed the
famous ordinance which ended his reign
and the Bourbon dynasty. st. Cloud
was surrounded by a beautiful park, en-
belhshed BY antique fountains, choice
shrubbery, and all the appointments Of
imperial luxury. The building itself
was one of the finest palaces in Europe,
and the paintings. tapestry, statuary and
historical relics which il contained were
beyond all price. That II should have
fallen a victim to those who most desired
10 preserve this monument Of the past
and glory Of the present is certainly
sad commentary on the desperate strng-
gle now going on in France.

posted at Tours on the I'd of October,
three other letters written to ourselves
on thin paper backed with fine cloth

to have formed part of the fabric of

NAPOLEON AND MAxIMlLIAx.

Another letter refers TO a very different
subject. and will at this time possess a
melancholy interest, 1t is from M2xi-
milan, the unfortunate Emperor of Mex
leo. In this letter we have traces of the
chief points in the character and position
of that ill-fated monarch. His warm
gratitude to Napoleon and respect for
his wisdom, his earnest hopes for Mex
leo, his untiring energy in reorganlzlng
the country, the reluctance with which
his gentle nature adopts measures OF
harshness, even against undoubted Grim
inals-all these things can be seen in
this interesting document. And it has
some words which give us a picture,
perfectly complete, Of one whose fate is
still sadder than that Of her husband.
The Emperor speaks Of an intended visit
which he had given up; the matters.
however, which this journey had refer
ence TO were Of great importance, and
could not be left in the hands Of Sc or
