The long tragedy of Macmillan and
Carlotta, of Mexico, the most pictur-
esque and pathetic story in its way of
our times, has not yet reached it's close.
1t was rumored year ago that the un.
happy Carlotta was at the point of death,
and for long time, indeed, her life how
cred in the balance. Those who hold to
the Christians hope of another and q
better life beyond the grave will hardly
think it q merciful dispensation by which
her weary spirit was denied rest. The
health of the ex- Empress is now perfect;
but her mental condition is inexpressibly
strange and sad. She is in the world
but not of it. She believes herself to
be continually surrounded by beings of
another sphere, with whom alone she
converses. She never utters q word to
any of her servants or attendants, and
the presence of any human being throws
her into a fever Of ennui and vexation.
Her sister-in-law, the Queen of the Bel
gians, comes once q month to visit her,
in company with her physician. The
ex-Empress receives them with cold
courtesy. The physician asks after her
health. I am very WE'LL" she replies,

If my love smile:
So twinkle stars, through nights by moons

So landscapes beam meath summer suns I'M
rolled.
If my love laugh:
So play in song glad waves along white sands;
So harps of leaves laugh meath -Eolian hands.
If my love speak:
So ring the merry voices of the woods,
That cheer alike sunshines and solitudes.
If my love blush:
So morning tiushes up the dimpled skies;
So ewes carnation with the twilight dies.
If my love weep:
So fall the crystal tears of night in dew
Skies weep that earth may bloom more fair
and new.
If my love love:
So bliss leaps gladly from blest heart to heart;
Nor life nor death shall find our souls apart.

Some years ago it was proposed to him
to purchase farm in the neighborhood

When the purchase was completed his

had such bargain, as the seller was in

There is mosaic table in one of the
grand saloons on which every day she
lays down her commands in writing.
These notes are taken by the servants at
a regular hour and duly attended to. She
draws up every day the menu for her
table, composing it with good gastronom-
ic judgment, and dimes with good ap-
petite. If by accident any dish which
she orders is not served she makes note
of the fact the next day, but never with
one word of complaint. She is very care

When the weather is fine she walks in the
park-always at eleven o'clock, always
along the same path, and with very
rapid step. OF course she is carefully
watched by invisible sentinels, but she
has never manifested any disposition to
suicide. She plays exquisitely on the
piano, and passes hours in that way. She
paints and draws also extremely well,
and still keeps up this art. The marked
feature of her case is the absolute horror
which she shows of all company but that
of her visions and her memories. One is
reminded by it of the curiously similar
experience of a very clever German
writer, Justinus Kerner, the author of
the "Seeress of Prevorst," who used to
live absolutely with what he called "his
ghosts" One of his friends describes
him standing at the doorway of ball
room, with detected face, and saying
to himself: ooh, me! oh, me! Why are
not all these pleasant ghosts?" To this
widowed, childless wife, this exiled and
discrowned Empress, what society of the
living, indeed, could bring happiness or
peace, or hope?-Neao York World.

Educational Value of Museums.

At the annual meeting of the Sheffield
School of Art MIR. George Goodwin
spoke of the value of collections of an
tique art as suggestives and excitants.
He said: A museum is silent lecturer,
and, especially when it consists of OBJ
jects allied to the manufactures and pur-
suits of the locality, will often produce
effects little expected. Remember hear
ing the late J. NJ. w. Turner, the great
est landscape painter we know of, say
that it was the contemplation of an en-
graved silver salver belonging to one of
his fathers friends, and the rampant lion
on which he was led to draw; that first
inspired him with a love for art.
Our sleeping visions, waking dreams,
Receive their shape and hue from what
Surrounds our life.
A chord often is struck when least ex-
pected, and the world is made all the bet
ter because one mind has been awakened
by the work of another. Our governing
bodies are not 50 alive to this fact as
they should be, and no other proof in de-
Tense of this assertion is needed than
the armory in the Tower of London. We
have there collection of arms and armor
of great interest and value, in some re-
spects, indeed, unique, without a single
person in charge of it who knows
anything of the subject, or who is
competent to increase it when op-
portunities offer. The result is that
fine1 specimens are allowed to leave the
country, there being no one at the Tower
able to Judge of their value and arrange
for their purchase. Abroad, as at Turin,
for example, the national collection of
armor is finely housed and every facility
is afforded for the study of it. mention
the Tower armory in particular as an in.
stance of neglect, because in Sheffield,
the capital of steel, It ought to have pc
culiar interest. Apart from the value Of
delight, apart from the effect of art IN
refining and elevating life, the material
value of art to country is immense.
Look to the crowds Of pilgrims taken
from all parts of the world, year after
year, into Italy, for example. by the fame
of those grand works with which pre-
ceding centuries have endowed her.
Look to the noble heritage left to our
own country by the Middle Ages in the
cathedrals and churches, full of beauty
-" sermons in stones"-with which the
land is studded. 1t is marvellous, the in
terest with which every piece of stone,
glass, and metal, every piece Of furni.
ture-a lock, a chest, a lamp, tobacco
pipe-no matter what, the produce of
particular periods, is regarded; techni-
cal skill, Imagination, humor, feeling,
have all been enlisted in their produc-
ton and have led to this result. We
moderns have fallen back in this respect.
