MEMPHIS TENNESSEE WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 49, S7

The Emperor was one day Frustrated
by an epileptic attack in Marguerite
house. The frightened girl called in the
nearest doctor, and he, with commend
able desire Of making the best of the
windfall, hailed passing cab, and took
the stricken potentate home TO the Tnil-
cries. The story was too appetizing ia
keep from general currency, and Made
moiselle Bellanger was requested by an
agent Of the Empress TO leave Paris.
She politely declined, saying she found
the air OF the capital remarkably good
for her lungs. Her airy insolence saved
her from further molestation. But
shortly after, her empty head being
turned with success, she had the indie
cent effrontery to drive across the head
Of the Empress horses in the Bots, and
this time the project of the police packed
her out of the city to Belgium, where she
remained year; and on her return fresh
fields and pastures new had allured her
tickle shepherd, and their relations were
never resumed. ot
But the pale cheek of Marguerite had
like Lady Corisande's, received the seal
of majesty, and she never after lacked
homage and protection. She moved
through the little world of Paris with
something Of goddess bearing-a We
nus Anadyomene, although sprung from
the foam of the maternal soapsuds,
There is nothing so loyal. as vice, and
any Of the petits crepes Of Paris felt
almost as much honored by having La
Margot on his arm as by wearing the

At the assemblies in the Rue de Ia Vic
toire, which Mr.. Perrin used to call, in
his florid style, evenings of youth, where
people went purely to dance, you could
frequently see this frail, fairy sprite,
dressed with richness and care that at
tested how more than Pactolian are the
sands of time when kings hold the hour
glass, surrounded by little gaudins, whom
she snubbed and scorned, and dancing
all the waltzes with the fiery possession
of a Menad.

and street-walkers skip over

in the salons of society, where awkward
youths and maidens go humping through
incumbered space in the touching de-
fusion that they are waltzing-but if you
would spend one fortunate hour among
the thoroughly broken goers of Laborde S,
you would then appreciate why Strauss
was born and the Blaue Donau was
written. There are women there so old

THE WEST INDIES.
Quesada's Expedition Sails from
CuracOa-The Largest Effort Yet

Quesada's Expedition Sails from
CuracOa-The Largest Effort Yet
Made.
PoRT-AU-PRINcE, October 24.-News
has come to hand of another liberating
expedition in favor of Cuba, which, from
all information gathered on the subject,
promises to be one Of the largest efforts
yet made. 1t appears that the British
schooner Billy Butts, Capt. Jackson,
which left New York toward the latter
end of August, has arrived at the island
of Curacao, having ON board $4,000
worth Of arms, consisting of gun.car-
riages, small arms, large quantity of
shell, aud sundry other war material, in
her cargo. Among her passengers is q
gentleman who says that he is the super
cargo, but it is rumored that he is
Quesada. Since her departure from
New York she has been ac-
companied by the steamer Virgin, an
English-built steamer, long, fne-look-
ing craft, and of light draught. Her tom
mage is small, being about five hundred
tons. The surmise is that she met the
Billy Butts at sea, and conveyed her ever
since. These two vessels left Curacao
with the intention of making landing
in Cuba. Curacao being a well-known
port of call forvessels which are engaged
in flibustering expeditions, no vexatious
questions were asked as to the vessels
destination, and the clearance papers
were handed to their respective captains
without any difficulty. What the steam
err carries is not known, but from the
company she keeps it is almost certain
that she also is freighted with war-like
material.
