The Empress Eugene few days since
told deputy du midi little anecdote,
quite pendant to the history of similar
episode in the life of the Empress Josephine.
Said the Empress to the deputy: lone day
in the summer of 1850, being very fond of
the Pyrenees, as my wont usually was,
was at the Eaux-Bonnes, when was met in
the country by an old woman named
Marianette, who was universally considered
to be crazy. She begged, and l gave her,
much to her establishment. a piece of gold,
upon which she looked in my face fixedly
for moment, and then said: They say I
am mad, l know, but am not mad, though
l speak as others do not; as a proof, remem-
Der this: one day, and soon too, you shall
be an Empress" Her majesty said, ''At
that moment so improbable, as a Spaniard,
was any such prospect, that | only enter
tanned it as wild raving, but on the very
day became an Empress, the fact reverted
wildly to my mind, and caused inquiry to
be made for Marianette. with the desire to
grant her pension for life, but learned,
with regret, that she had died two days be-
fore"

The New York Standard saws:

1t was quite time that Governor Holden
of North Carolina came to Washington for
advice and aid. He says that in one Judicial
district three hundred whippings and four
teen murders of known Republicans have
been chronicled, with a number of rapes
and barbarities too horrible for publication.
In one case a burning stick was thrust into
wOman's mouth to keep her from scream
ing. The civil authorities entirely failed in
their attempts to prevent or punish this
lawlessness, and the Governor organized two
regiments Of militia, with which he hoped
to preserve the peace. The President has
sent down two companies of United States
troops, with the assurance that more can be
had if necessary. How long is this violence
to continue! North Carolina has again
been obliged to send to her physician for
medicine. Woe betide her if the Doctor
himself finds it necessary to march down.

A New York dispatch saws:

Among the arrangements which have
been repudiated since the Vanderbilt party
acquired the controlling influence in the
affairs Of the Lake Shore road, is said to be
one by which the Erie line was to be allowed
to run into the Union Depot at Cleveland
on condition that Gould and Fiske aban-
doned the project of building through line
to Chicago. Having been notified of the
notification of this agreement by Wander
bilt, Gould and Fiske have, it is said, en-
tered into arrangements for the immediate
commencement of the construction of the
Erie and Atlantic and Great Western lines
to Chicago from Cleveland.
The new Erie extension will wind along
the lake shore to Sandusky and Toledo,
from which latter point it will strike out for
Chicago by an airline. 1t is asserted
that the project meets with great favor
throughout the West, and leading capitalists
of Cleveland and Chicago and other promi-
nent men interested in sections to be bene-
flied by the opening of the new line have
agreed to subscribe all the capital required.

UNITING MISSISSIPPI AND TEXAS.

The jackson Pilot presents this infOrma-
fdson about the proposed Meridian, Riverside
and Texas Railroad. 1t contemplates the
opening of new line Of railroad, uniting
Texas and Mississippi, and leaving New Or
leans out in the cold:
BY careful perIsal of our railroad maps,
it can be easily seen that by the completion
of the road from Chattanooga to Meridian
known as the Alabama RailrOad), and the
above named road to the vicinity of the
mouth of Red river, thence across the State
of Louisiana, almost an air line road will
connect the city Of New York with the State
of Texas.
We understand that the incorporators of
this road intend running two lines from
some point near the mouth of Red river
One to run through the Opelousas country,
to connect with the Central Texas road,
thus opening the commerce and wealth of
Texas to us, bringing cheap beef and stock
from the prairies Of Louisiana and the
ranges of Texas.
The other road is to go through the parish
of Avoyelles, thence to Marshall, Texas, the
present Northern terminus of the Southern
Pacific road.
Those well acquainted with the topOgra-
ply of the country which this road will ira
verse, will readily perceive the advantages
the road will have over the Memphis, Little
Rock and Marshall road, as well as other
contemplated roads, since we find very little
swamp lands this road is to go through,
which is not the case with other roads re-
ferred to. We especially invite the atten-
ton of the Legislature to this road which
will place our State in direct comm,lnica-
ton with New York and Texas by means Of
a grand trunk line.
But outside of these extraordinary con-
alterations it will secure to us many other
advantages, in the development OF our ag-
ricultural resources, resulting from easy
transportation of our products.
We learn that line Of this road will be
by WoOdville to Riverside, SO that a short
line from Natchez to this road would put
that city in direct communication with
Texas, New Orleans and the Northern
States. We are not in favor of railroad
rings, neither will we aid them; but in this
instance, if the incorporators do not ask
too much, inasmuch as our Legislature has
not passed any general railroad bill this
session, and possibly will not, we would
suggest that they take up this bill at the
earliest day possible, and act upon it.
Let them accomplish the act of giving us
at least one road before their adjournment.

Referring to the declination of Mr.. Cor
nell as Assistant Treasurer of New York,
the Albany Journal remarks:
No one cOvets the Assistant Treasuryship
of New York. In view of its enormous re
sponsibilities it is the poorest paid office in
the United States. The principal is not only
held responsible for the good behavior OF
his subordinates, but is required to make
good all losses which may result from any
cause whatever. 1t is said that Mr.. Cisco,
after five or six years service in the office,
retired with the loss of his entire salary and
$4,000 besides. To man of large wealth
this was small matter: but it would have
ruined man of moderate means. 1t is,
no viewer, very honorable office, and who
ever passes through its ordeal safely has a
certificate of integrity which will open to
him any position Of trust he may covet.
