The Lovely Face.

/ know face that Is WondrOus fair,
For the finger of God has written there,
Aud the eyes are full Of q loving light,
And strength to do what is true and right,
Bright smiles Ger the sweet lips come and 50,
As the sunbeams flicker to and fro;
While the tongue speaks words Of thoughtful love
Like pearly drops from the fount above,
And the cheeks glow rich with the sweetest blusl
As the generous feelings heartward rush;
Yet few who bow at Beauty's shrine,
Would cast thought to this friend Of mine
For the face they see is almost plain
As the hull that hides the golden grain;
'Tis the magic touch Of Friendships hand,
Like Fairy Queens uplifted wand,
That can bid the jewels fash TO view
Their heavenly luster clear and true.

Neglected Jewels.

There is many gem In the path Of life,
Which We pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's hoard of treasure.
1t may be the love Of little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup Of water given.

HISTORY.
Correspondence by Telegraph between Gar
Alexander and Empress EHgenie.

New YORK, August ga Lon
don dispatch says that letter of EN-.
press Eugenie's to the Gar, just pub
iished In the Paris journals, alludes
to a friendly power which had ex.
pressed a desire to intervene in favor
of France, after the surrender OF Sc
dan; that power was Russia. Alex.
ander sent dispatch to the Empress
Regent Immediately after the sur
ender OF Sedan, Offering to intervene
on basis of integrity of the French
army. Alexander, in the same dis
patch, informed the Empress that he
had earnestly recommended to the
King of Prussia to open negotiations
for peace, and not to insist on the ces-
sion of French territory. Disintegra-
ton of France would be dangerous
to the peace of Europe. The prospect
of Russia's Intervention was, how
ever, spoiled by the outbreak and
revolution, September 4th, and the
flight of the Empress, which took
place a few hours after the dispatch
had been received from Emperor
Alexander.
On hearing the news that q Repub-
TIC naQ D6en prOclhiu1ous EupcIOE
Alexander withdrew his proposed in-
tervention, and notified the King OF
Prussia that Russia would remain
neutral, July 4th. All former mem
bers of the government, of Septem-
ber 4th, knew Of the existence Of this
dispatch, and it is said to have been
found, after the flight Of the Empress.
among the secret papers OF the En-
peror, but withheld from publication
by the government Of National De-
fense. These revelations are appar-
emily to be made public, on consent
of the Empress Engenie. Republicans,
chiefly Jules Favre and his former
colleagues, viii probably deny the
proposed intervention Of the Gar,
but the truth Is that the facts related,
can be completely established.

POLITICAL.
The North Carolina Elections.


NEW YORK, August 5.-The follow
dispatches are published:
To the Editor of the Tribune:
Sir: We have carried the State
against the Convention by 10000
majority.
CSignedj JOSEPH C. ABBOTT.
Wilmington, n. c., August 4th.
Special to TribUne.I
WASHINGTON, ID. O., August A
Returns from North Carolina, re-
ceived by the Executive Committee
here, indicate a positive defeat of the
Constitutional Convention party, and
the triumph of the Republicans.
Wake county, in which is the city Of
Raleigh, gives Republican gain OF
200; Halifax county, 100; Meeklen-
burg county, 275; New Hanover, 514.
The dispatches also say that the Con-
ventionists admit their defeat. Ex-
Governor Holden, who is here, has
received many kilograms, and says he
is confident that the Convention is
defeated by about 10000.
WILMINGTON, n. c., August 5.-In-
dications seem more favorable to-day
for the defeat of the Convention by a
very small majority. The Republicans
claim the State by 5000 to $4,000 ma
jOrity, while the ConVentionists still
think the issue doubtful, with chances
in their favor. Returns have been
received from only one-tbird of the
counties, and they are not official.
