The Emnress and the Artist.

Lucy II ooper,in her Paris letter to the
Philadelphia Press, tells the following ro-
mantle little story: alt appears that dur
| ing the latter years OF the Empire the
attention OF the Empress, who ever has
been distinguished a. an intelligent and
mUniicent patroness of art, was called
to the works OF a rising young painter
"a Spaniard or an Italian by birth -
who had just completed his studies and
had achieved admission 10 the Salon. She
was pleased with his pictures; purchased
several Of them, and gave him commits
sion for two or three others. Finally, at
his earnest solicitation, she consented to
sit TO him for her portrait, which proved
10 be a striking likeness and most re-
markable work of art. From that time
forward the young painter haunted
! assiduously every public place were he
could oh'ain II glimpse oil his fair and
/ Royal patroness. When she went to
the theater or the opera he invariably
occupied the orchesler-stall IN front ct
| the Imperial box, and when she drove
out he sough; To cross her path in order
/ TO obtain from her one OF those graceful
/ bows and one of those sweet, melan-
choly smiles which she always bestowed
with such courtesy upon those VITO
salutcd her. At last came the war, and
Sedan and the Republic, and park, and
lheater, and opera box knew tina, fair
face no more. Deprived of even those
passing gllmp>es OF the Imperial lady,
the young artist became mornse, gloomy,
and misanthropical; he shut himself up
in the solidtnde of his studio, and en-
ployed himself chiefly in reproducing
his portrait of the Empress, work
which met with Il ready sale among the
friends Of imperialism IN Paris, from its
intrinsic merits no less than the fidelity
OF its likeness. The other day he was
found lying dead in his studio, with Il
pistol shot through his head. and with
the discharged pistol still cluiched III his
lifcless hand"

Flllbustering, Ancient and Modern.

The following retrospect from the
I Washington correspondence Of the Bos-
I ton Advertiser Is pU-zi--lv apprnpriate
Filibustering, as it is called, aud don't
know why that term is applied TO the
Offering and resisting ofdilatory motions
Is somewhat different now from what i,
was in 1856, or rather it is conducted
under different circumstances. There is
either more good nature or less bad
whisky and doctOrei brandy now than
there was, for instance during the Kan
sas and Nebras ska struggle. FIlibuster-
ing then was usually the prelade to II
general free fight, and the occasion OF
half Il dozen "atfairs of honor" twas
alu ost impossible tor the House to be
in session all night without Il row OF
some sort. Spt,oons, inks ands, and
sometimes knives and pistols, We're
among the arguments OF those days
The famous drinking place, known rs
! the "hole in the wal, contributed fuel
| 10 the flames, and members surrendered
to the stupor OF liquor long before nat
ural sleep asserted lis power. If there
! was call o. the House, thu Sergeant
alarms generally found enough mem
bcrs TO complete quorum ut Mary
Halls, famous resort Of the demi
mode years ago, and at Pendleton's, an
equally notorious gambling house.
Public and private morals have improv-
ed, at least so far ~ Congressman are
concerned During the entire forty-six
hours in which the House was engaged
in filibusiering, last week, did not see
n single member under the influence OF
liquor. The utmost good humur pre-
vailed, and there was not an an.
cry word on either side. How
much Of this is due 10 the efforts of the
Congressional Temperance Society, of
when, think, Vice President Wilson il
chairman, do not know. 1t was through
Wilson's efforts that the "hnle in The
wall " was abolished, and spiriuons liz
uors forbidden by resolution to be used
in the Capitol. If Il call of the House
occurs aow, the Sergeant-at-Armsg at
ers quorum from the lecture TO IN OF
Methodist and Presbyterian churches, or
from the elegant saloons and parlors
where the numei Gus receptions are being
held. Last Thursday evening, while
one of the most brilliant parties of the
season, given by The Hon. Fernando
Wood OF New York, was in tull blast,
there was Il rumor OF IA call of the House,
and the haste with which Democratic
and Republican members made for their
hats and coats showed that the motto on
both sides was business before pleas
ure."

of that organization. In the first place,
it is printed in the State Printer Martins
