Sketch of the Empress Eugenie.

The Empress Eugene, now so promi-
nent in the European world, was born a
Countess Thcba dc Montijo, and is d.
rect descendant of an Irishman by the
name of kirkpatrick, merchant of wines
and fruits at Malaga. kirkpatrick had
four daughters, of whom the youngest was
distinguished already at an early age, not
only for her great beauty, but by her ex-
traordinary talents and accomplishments.
Accident made her acquainted with for
mer Spanish officer of artillery, the Count
de Montijo. He was poor. but belonged
to the oldest Aristocracy of Spain, and
Miss kirkpatrick removed to Madrid and
entered the highest social circles as Count
ess de Montijo. Eugenie, the present En-
press of the French, is one of her daugh-
ters. The Countess Theba de Montiio,
Eugenie's mother, by degrees became one
of the leaders of fashion in Madrid, and at
her entertainments were to be met the
leading men of the timcs-diplomats, au-
thors, artists, politicians, all were con-
stantly to be seen at her brilliant soirees,
for the Countess was not only beautiful
but also most talented, witty, and ac-
complished lady. She had great influence
at court, and her two daughters, beautiful
and accomplished like herself, were early
in life appointed ladies of honor to Isabella
III. Queen of Spain. The elder daughter
was married to the Duke of Alba, a noble
man of high degree, and one of the oldest
and proudest names of the Spanish aris-
tocracy.
1t is said that he hesitated long upon
whom he should confer his hand titles,
or great wealth, and it seems that while
he loved the older sister best and finally
married her, he was most beloved by the
younger, Eugene, the present Empress
On the evening on which the betrothal
wat made public by her mother to a bril-
liant company of guests assembled, she
retired suddenl y to her own apartments,
and, after search had been instituted for
her, she was found senseless on her bed,
with an empty fagon along side of her,
Medical assistance was at once summoned,
and they succeeded in saving her life, but
up to this day, in consequence of it, she
is subject to nervous attacks, and often
succumbs to kind of nervous depression
which gives her a sad and listless look,
although it only makes her great beauty
the more attractive and interesting. She
always had numberless admirers, and many
offers of marriage, amongst them not only
Spanish and French noblemen of the high
est degrees, but also a royal prince of the
house of Orleans, but she declined them
ALL
On visit to Paris in 1S49, in company
with her mother, she participated in hunt
on horseback, at Compiegne, where Ma
polcon first saw her. She attracted his at.
tention at once by her glorious beauty,
royal bearing, and accomplished and bold

just at break of day, he had the first sight
of the beautiful Mountain Queen:
1.-THE boat had touched this silver strand
just as the hunter left his stand,
And stood concealed amid the brake,
To view the Lady of the Lake.
The maiden paused as if again
She thought to catch the distant strain
With head appraised and look intent,
The eye and ear attentive bent,
And locks flung back and lips apart,
Like monument of Grecian art,
In listening mood she seemed to stand
The guardian naiad of the strand"
On our left, rising high overhead, is
Benvenue, the highest of the neighboring
mountains, as well as the most celebrated
of the Highlands. Its name signifies
"Small Mountain" but this can only be
applied when speaking of the loftier Ben
lomond and Benled.
At the head of the lake we were shown
a crevice, where Bob Roy, in 1908, held
for three days aud three nights Killarn,
the chamberlain of the Duke of Montrose !;
and. after relieving him of all the rents
which he had collected for his master, set
him again at liberty, with receipt in his
pocket for amount received.
On the west side we were shown the
celebrated Coir-nam- Uriskin, 4" Cave of
the Goblins," which has not little space
in Highland tradition. It is simply deep,
upright cash in the base of Benvenue, o.
verhanging the lake At the top, it is a.
bout two hundred feet in diameter, and on
either side are strewn innumerable frag-
ments of stone, overshadowed with ash
and birch trees, making it almost impene-
trable to the rays of the sun-a fit place
for the haunt of the bandtti and outlaw.
The "Urisks," from whom the name of
this wild shelter is derived, were supposed
to be race of "wild or shaggy men,"
and Sir Walter says they were a figure
"between a goat and a man," in short,
however much the classical reader may be
startled, precisely that of the Grecian
satyr!
Whatever may be our belief in the leg
ends connected with Loeb Katrine, we
cannot fail to see in their absolute and
permanent existence the wonderful power
with which the minstrel shook his magic
wand. OF all of Scott's poems, the Lady
of the Lake is the most true to nature, and
yet not the less romantic
''One FURNISHED sheet of living gold,
Loeb Katriae lay before him rolled
In all her length far winding lay,
With promontory, creek and bay,
And islands that empurped bright,
Floated amid the livelier light,
And mountains that like giants stand,
To sentinel enchanted land.
High on the south, huge Benvenuc
Down to the lake in masses threw
Crags, knolls aud mounds confusely hurled,
The fragments Of an earlier world.n

THE CURoULIo.-A writer says ON
strong, vigorous-growiug trees, tho fruit
soon outgrew the crescent-mark, while on
trees that made only feeble growth, a
great deal of the fruit was injured. am
thoroughly satisfied that the jarring pro-
cess will not protect the fruit from the ra-
wages of this insect. The best safeguard
is to keep the ground in the orchard rich,
so that the fruit may have abundant nou-
rishment. This, with thorough system
of thinning the fruit, are the only practi-
cal methods that 1 know of to grow fruit
to perfection and profit, beside thorough
culture.

will insure good work for quarter of a century.
3 1t sews the lightcst cambrc and the usual
shoe leather without any strain whatever.
1t has feed bar which can be lowered or
raised at will, thus adapting it to all kinds of
material.
1t is impossible to get the machine out of or
der unless by rust, dust or taking apart. 1t will
never get out of order by working.
1t has the highest attainable speed, making
1900 stitches per minute by foot, and 5000 by
steam.
1t is the lglitest running shuttle machine.
1t makes the most beautiful lock stitch.
1t has the handsomest appearance.
10 1t has the 81 trongest, most convenient, hand

II 1t has the best hcmmcr.
Is 1t has the most complete attachment the
ack-of-all-radcF, hens, fels, binds, bastes,

advantages of all the sewing machines now
known, while obviating all their faults.

MY CASTLE IN SPAIN,

MY CASTLE IN SPAIN.
Written for the Mdllctown Transcript.
BYM.
My castle, in Spain, is cottage fair,
A nd stands in a fertile plain.
While, all around it are orchard trees,
And fields of waving grain.
The corn-tassels whisper in the wind,
The bearded wheat bows low,
And the oat bells ring silvery chime,
As they wanton to and fro.
The birds build in the apple trees,
And fit through the rosy bowers,
And sing with joy, as they softly float
Through the wind awakened showers.
Rosy urchins play upon the lawn,
And their daughters merry sound,
Is like the gurgling of q brook,
As it ripples DER pebbly ground.
