Beg~ The Mexican correspondent OF
the New York Herald, tells pretty
and feeling story of the visions and
dreams of the ex-Empress "Carlotta,
the bereaved widow of the Emperor
Macmillan, who was shot in Mexico
by order of a Military Court Martial.
She cautions the present Queen OF
Spain to beware of her fate, and pre-
diets that the son of Victor Eman-
uel, the present King of Spain, will
share the fate of her royal spouse OF
Hapsburg memory. Let the exiled
Emperors and Expresses betake
themselves to the United States, and
nobody will touch q hair of their heads.
Let poor "Carlotta," whom General D.
BankheaI Magruaer described as the
ne plus ultra of feminine excellence,
grace and beauty, come to the ylrn-
itv of Mechanicstown, or the Valley
of st. Joseph's and she will be treat

addressed the wild Indians in the

There is no mist,king the destiny Of

There is no mist,king the destiny of
this town. The career Of Mechanics
town is onward and upward. Good
wine needs no bush, and the many
and salient points which
cluster around this village cannot be
hid from the public eye. Her pride,
her spirit and enterprise are aroused,
aad they must overcome all obstacles
which stand in the way of her onward
growth. Her prosperity is evidently.
decreed by fate and the progress OF
events. In view of certain results her
citizens can afford 10 be generous and
not view with a jaundiced vision the
prosperity Of her sister-towns, Craze
ham, Emmitsburg, Crcagerstown, Sa-
bilasvile, and the new city to spring
up on the Summit Level near the
Monterey House. Live and let live
should be our motto, and let all grow
and flourish together.

The most delightful view in the
whole vision was the manner of the
people towards each other. | know
not whether the times Of the latter
day glory had appeared or not; put
trulv MrV loycl orc o7'othcr, and tried
to do each other good. If some held
to Paul and others to Apollos the
paulines did not fight the Apollorlans,
because these latter sought their
Heavenly home in the common faith
under their own chosen name.

could not be ascertaincd whether the
want of GRAY hairs arose from the use
of hair dive, or whether the purity OF
the water and the health-glving vir-
tues of the mountain air combined at
once to produce bodily visor and pro-

The chief item of political intcr's

The chief item Of political interest
at Washington city, in Senatorial
Halls, during the present week, was
the speech Of the Hon. Chas. Summer,
of Massachusetts, deliberately pre-
pared, and uttered with great vigor,
in opposition to the purchase of San
Domingo, and the policy of President
Grant for the annexation of that trop-
zeal Island of the Caribbean Sea. He
was replied to by Senators Morton, OF
Indiana, and Howe, Of Wisconsin,
Mr.. Carl Schurz, of Missouri, spoke in
defense of Summers course, and the
deb ,te thus opened in advance of the
Report of the San Domingo Commits
soners, who have just returned from
their mission seems to have startled
the country. The whole question now
appears to be surrounded with great
peculiarities, and will undoubtedly
create as great a sensation in the pub
sic mind as did the annexation OF
Texas during the administration OF
John Tyler and James K. Polk.
