The New York .Stodts Zeitung says
that Eugene became Empress only
after other offers and adventures by the
Emperor. He first offered himself to
his cousin, the Princess of Wasa, the
granddaughter of the Grand Duchess OF
Baden. but the necessary consent could
not be obtained at the Austrian court
His second and less honorable venture
was with the daughter of a certain
Countess Montijo, who were residing in
Paris very expensively, and whom Ma.
poleon drew into his court, where be
INDUCED in every kind of gallantry to.
ward the daughter, who, however,
quickly gave him to understand IT, at,
despite her coquetry, she was just as
careful of her honor. as he was of his,
and would yield in no way to his pas
sions unless he allowed her the legiti-
mate place at his side. Eugene was
also living in Paris, and, it is said,
when the Wasa offer failed, contrived to
procure an invitation to Compiegne,
and there, in the freer intercourse with
Napoleon, and with the aid Of bril-
liant toilette, in which violet-wreaths
amid her blonde hair had an especially
strong effect. she succeeded, through the
magic of her personal appearance and
her splendid conversational powers, in
SO alluring him that he, still sensitive
over the result of his former plans, and
with the firm determination of meeting
the crowned princes of Europe as a par
venu, suddenly offered her his hand,
and to the universal astonishment not
alone of France, but of all Europe, raised
to the position of Empress a woman OF
doubtless descent and of an equally
doubtful past The Tadts Zeitung sug-
gests that if Napoleon now looks back
over the period of eighteen years, and
calls himself to account for the infiu-
ences which since then then have been
brought to bear upon him from the side
of his wife, and by means of her have
been made effective, he can scarcely do
otherwise than curse the hour in which
he entered into this alliance.

The NEW MODE OF VoT1NG. sys-
tenn OF free or cumulative voting has
been submitted to the people by the H.
linois Convention, in such manner,
that, il adopted, the members of the
Lower House of the Legislature will
hereafter be elected upon this plan.
Each Legislative District will elect one
Senator and three Representatives. I'm
der the system now submitted, voters are
permitted, in voting for the Representa-
tiyes, to cast one vote each for the three,
one and half votes each for two, or
three votes for one. It is assumed that
the two political parties will, under this
provision, each nominate only the num-
ber of candidates its votes will enable it
to elect leaving the opposing party to
nominate the number of candidates its
votes will elect. Thus, if district has
5000 votes, of which 1890 are Demo-
cratic and $500 are Republican, in elect
ing three members, the $500 votes, if
concentrated upon one man, are sure to
elect him because the G,70O votes, divid.
ed among three candidates, will give
them only 2,233 votes each. To elect
ono minority candidate among three,
therefore, it is only necessary that the
minority party shall have barely more
than fourth of the total vote. If, how
ever, the min nority party is grasping, and
attempts to elect two candidates out of
three, it is liable to lose its Representa-
tives altogether. For instance, if the
Republicans have $500 votes, and the
Democrats $500 out of the 5000, the
Republican vote, divided among three
candidates. will give them 1888 votes
each, while the Democratic vote, divided
between two, will give them only 1,75O
each. and Republicans. exclusively, will
be elected. At the same time, it is Us
dangerous for the majority party to grasp
more than they are entitled to, as for the
minority. If, for instance, out of total
vote Of 1000, the Democrats have 5, $50,
and the Republicans $3.50, if the Demo,
Gratis should attempt to elect three can
didates, their votes, divided among three,
would give them only 1.7S3 each, while
the Republican vote, divided between
two, would give them 1895 each, and
thus the Republicans, though in a mi.
nority of the popular vote, would get
two out Of the three members.

New Orleans on Monday to introduce
colored children into two Of the public
schools. A committee of eight, with
three boys (ooIored) made the demand,
which was refused, upon the ground that
instructions for the admission of colored
children had not been given by the Su-
perintendent Considerable excitement
prevailed, and the police were called to
disperse the crowd. Trouble is antici-
pated.
