THE BLUE HANDKERCHIEF.

About the end of October, 1
was returning on foot from Or
leans to the Chateau de Bardy.
A regiment of the foreign guard
was marching abreast Of me on
the same road. / had FASTENED
my steps to hear the military mu-
sic, which 1 liked so much; but
the band ceased playing; a few
taps of the drum from afar alone
marked the measured steps of the
soldiers. Soon the regiment en-
tered a small field surrounded by
a clump of fir trees. 1 asked a
captain whom 1 knew if they were
about to exercise.
No, said he, they are about to
judge, and probably shoot a SOL
der of my company for having
robbed the man with whom he
was quartered.
Whatl said I, to Judge, con
denim and execute at onceP
Yes, said he; it is according to
our articles Of capitulstion.
For him this was unanswerable,
as though all been provided for in
the capitulation-the crime, the
punishment the justice and even
the humanity.
If you are curious, added tn q
captain, I win get you place. 1t
won't take long.
I had always a passion Tor these
sad spectacles and followed the
captain.
The regiment was formed in a
hollow square; behind the rear
rank, and on the edge of the wood
some soldiers were digging a
grave. They were commanded by
a First Lieutenant, for everything
in regiment is done with order,
and there is a certain dignity in
digging a soldiers grave.
In the center of the square eight
officers were sitting on drum
heads, the ninth on the right and
more forward, was writing a few
wordsupon his knees.
The accused was called. He
was tall young man, of a noble
and honest face. A woman ad-
vanced with him, the only witness
who was to testify in the case, but
when the colonel was about to in
terrogate this woman
It's useless, said the soldier: l
will confess all. stole the hand
kerchief from this woman's house.
The colonel---You, Pierre! you
were always an honest fellow.
Pierre---It is true, colonel. l
have always tried to satisfy my
officers; and it was not for myself
that l stoleit, twas for Marie.

EMPRESS CARLOTTA OF MEXICO.

The long tragedy of Macmillan
and Carletta of Mexico, the most
picturesque and pathetic story in
its way of our times, has not yet
reached its close. 1t was rumor-
ed a year ago that the unhappy
Carlotta was at the point of death,
and for a long time indeed, her
life hovered in the balance. 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 continu-
ally surrounded by beings of the
other sphere, with whom alone she
conv IS. She never utters a
word to any of her servants or at
tendants, and the presence of any
human being throws her into fe-
yer Of ennui and vexation. Her
sister-in-law, the Queen of the
Belgians, comes once a month to
visit her in company with a ply
sician. The ex-Empress receives
them with cold courtesy. The
physician asks after her health.
l am very well, she replies, and
turning away, walks out of the
room. She manages her whole
establishment, which is worthy Of
her exalted rank, at the palace of
Lacken, by letter. There is a mo-
sale table in one Of the grand sa-
looms on which every day she lays
down her commands in writing.
These notes are taken by the ser
wants at a regular hour and duly
attended to. She draws up every
day the bill of fare for her table,
composing it with good CASTRO
nomic judgment, and dimes with a
good appetite. If by accident any
dish which she orders is not served
she makes a note Of the fact the
next day, but never with any
word of complaint. She is very
careful with her toilette, and
dresses with all her old taste and
dis tinction, dressing her own hair
and dressing it in the fashionable
/" bandeaux" which were fashion
able when she last saw her hus-
band and was with him in the
dark hours that preceded the
bloody eclipse and midnight of
Queretaro. Her waiting maid is
never admitted to her toilette;
but after preparing her bath and
her dresses leaves the room to
come back only in the morning.
When the weather is fine she
walks in the park-always at IL
o'clock, always along the same
path, and with a very rapid step.
OF course she is carefully watched
by invisible sentinels, but she has
never manifested any disposition
to suicide. She plays e1quisitely |
on the piano and passes houTs in
that way. She paints and draws
extremely well and still keeps up
the arts. The marked feature of
her case is the absolute horror
which she shows 10 all company
but that of her visions and her
memories. To this widowed,
childless wife, this sxiled and dis
crowned Empress, what society of
the living could bring happiness,
or peace, or hope to her?
