PITIABLE CONDITION OF THE Ex-EM-
PRESS OF MEXICo-"Poor Carlotta."
Hers, indeed, is melancholy fate, and
most melancholy in its hopelessness. To
those who remember the brilliant Princess.
happy as the hridn of gifted yor. h,f,.less
happy, perhaEbd.s wife of an Ar axe.
bat assuredly unfortunate in that imperial
state which gave her no happiness, save
what she found after unconsciousness of
the present, the story of her condition told
by the Nord is sad Indeed. She that could
command by her position and her gentle
ness, is now close prisoner in the chateau
Iervueren 1t is to be believed that,
although closely watched" she is scarcely
allowed any longer to take her long walks
In. the park, because she has several times
endeavored to elude the vigilance of persons
charged to keep her in view" To common
thinker this would seem reason for guard
ing her closely, but to those-in whose
eyes, at 10 st, she was an Empires =, charged
with her cure, it is reason for her incar-
ceratlon. Is it any wonder, then, that
''she supports with great impatience this
violent fit of passion ?" The Nord in
addition to these facts, gives us some
interesting particulars regarding the Prin-
cess disorder Her mania is an idea that
the people want to poison her. She
requires every dish to be tasted before she
will eat it herself, and she never sits at
table during her meals. The officer, whose
duty it is to dine with her, places her
plates on the corner of the chimney piece
The most troublesome effect of her disease
is constant desire to telegraph complaints
to..all tbs Soyereigns of Europe These
are sent in her presence to the Court of
Brussels, and she waits in the telegraph
Office until answers return.

EDUCATED FARMERs-Farming is a
profession, not to say science If any one
doubts this statement let him leave his city
home-for no one bred in the country will
doubt it-and undertake to cultivate even
a garden of half an acre for the Summer.
He will then find that knowledge is as
essential to the ri ght use of the spade as
of the pen, and that there is as great diff
ference between the scientific farming of
Flanders, where literally not weed is to
be seen, and that of many farmers, the
wealth Of whose soil is about equally divid-
ed between fruits and weeds, as between
the trade of modern commercial city and
the barter of backwoods settlement.

mo SOLDIER NEED APPLY.'-1es-
terday, an old soldier, with white hair and
halting gait, applied to the Ladies Union
Relief Association for aid, telling pltiful
story He gave his name as Patrick Cahall,
and said he had that morning been turned
away, with sixteen other soldiers, from the
Kings County Aims House, at Flatbush,
After breakfast, Mr.. Murray, the Warden,
called up sixteen of the inmates, all of
whom had seen service under the Stars
and Stripes, and bore sad evidences OF 1t
in the empty sleeves and crutches, and in
formed them that Mr.. Delaney, the Super
intendent of the Poor in Brooklyn, had
sent him word to turn them out.
To their anxious inquiries concerning
the cause of this harsh action he replied :;
g You soldiers must leave here, because
you are Republicans and voted the Re
publican ticket" Mr.. Cahall then told
Mr.. Murray that he had no money and If
he was turned out in this cruel way he
would make the affair known. Mr.. Muir
ray replied that he couldn't help that, he
must talk to Mr.. Delaney. So the poor
fellows were compelled to depart, penniless
and homeless IN. Y. Tribune, Dec. 25

Here is funeral speech which a Paris

Here is funeral speech which Paris
paper assures us was actually pronounced
at Montmartre, the other day, by father
at the grave of his son: ''Gentleman,"
said the father, in a voice full of emotion,
"the body before me was that of my son.
He was young man, lately in the prime
of life, with a sound constitution, which
ought to have insured him hundred years
OF existence. But misconduct, drunkenness
and debauchery, OF the most disgraceful
kind, brought him, in the flower of age to
the ditch which you see before you. Let
this be an example to you and to your
children. Let us 60 hence"

A BAD MovE.-Gov. Haight, in his
late message, comes out in favor of the ad-
mission Of Chinese testimony. The Gov
ernor dose this, singularly enough, while
admitting that they are notorious liars, and
have no respect for an obligation to tell
the truth With all due Difference to the
eminent authority from which this recon-
mendatiCn emma .s, we sincerely trust
that the Legislature will refuse to admit
Chinese testimony. 1t would be simply
an invitation to wholesale perjury, and we
have no desire to see the lives and property
of the white people of the Pacific Coast

1HE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.-The
Sacramento Record says:
Has the Fifteenth Amendment actually
gone into operation ? is question which
might well be asked by any one on j street
yesterday, who witnessed the ludicrous
scene Of an intoxicated white man walking
arm in arm with pure African OF the
same sex, but who was perfectly sober
The white man was a prominent California
Democrat, who has now before the Legis-
lature claim for damages alleged to have
been sustained by having his printing office
Quilted by Union soldiers during the war

the pair commanded the greatest respect

manly darkey, endeavoring to care for his
white companion, or the Democratic poll

a Snake s.ccse in Hsasl Esocn.

4 very interesting and exciting scene
occurred at a ball not many miles from this
city few evenings since. Among the
persons present was young lady, who had
great horror of snakes, and always i'm
agincd-no matter what the scason--if she
experienced any unusual alarm, snake
in unpleasant proximity. After dancing
awhile, she was greatly distressed by feel
ing a sensation as though a serpent had
fixed itself beneath the folds of her dress.
Grasping the head of the monster tightly,
she screamed aloud for assistance, A
hasty consultation among the gamest of
the ladies was held, when it was determined
that young disciple of A1culapius, who
was present, should be called to their as
sistance. He was quickly on the spot, and
being a man of uncommon courage, was
not many moments within the circle of
half f-fainting females before he caugh the
tail of the snake, and wound it around his
hand, telling Miss NJ. that she must let go
the moment he jerked, and to make the
act as instantaneous as possible, he told her
that he would pronounce the words one,
two three, and that at the moment he pro-
nounced the last word, she must let 90
her hold, and that he doubted not that he
could withdraw the snake before it would
have time to strike. All stood in breath
less horror, awaiting the act oflife or death,
and the momeut the words were pronounc-
ed the doctor jerked out the longest and
most diabolical hustle that ever was seen.
The whole affair was soon explained the
fastening of the machine had become loose
during the dancing, and it had shifted its
position in such way that it dangled about
and induced the belief that it was a snake
with an enormous head Omaha Herald.
