Poor CarIOtta.

A month or six weeks past there ap-
peared in several of the European jour

of the poor Empress Carlotta. 1t has
been reprinted, see, in the American
newspapers. l was talking Of this &C.
count lately with parsonage who
knows great deal Of European Courts
and the private affairs Of royalties. This
person said:
| aThe description given Of the present
life and habits OF the Empress leads one
10 believe that she is no longer insane;
she may be melancholy, but she has her
reason, and is sternly refusing to hold
communication with the outside world,

I"Yes, this is very affecting; but we must
bring ourselves back to earth with stern
realities. All such stories are fables,
and no greater fable is there than this
one published of the poor Empress oi

Substitution OF Wrong Words.

1t may be, however, that not only are
the right words forgotten, but wrong
ones are substituted. The mother-in-

singular Intellectual disorder. When
ever visitor entered her apartment, she
rose with amiable look, and, pointing to
A chair, exclaimed "Pig, brute, stupid
too.p "Mrs. B asks you to take
char" her son-in-law would then put in,
giving this Interpretation to her strange
expres ssions. In other respects, Mrs.
b., acts were rational, ana her
case differed from ordinary asphasia in
that she did not seem TO grow impatient
at what she said, or to understand The
meaning of the insulting expressions
of which she made use. Cricnton men,

he asked for anything, constantly USED

and cried out vehemently, "Ciean my

n was ascertained that the cause OF dis

bers Of the Legislature. Such men are
generally otherwise employed, aud do
not feel that the inducement Is sufhclent
for them to give up their regular avoca-
tions to serve the people. This makes
the task of finding suitable meh
greater, and should so impress those
who consider themselves our party
managers. The only way Of correcting
the evil of incompetent, ignorant
and corrupt legislators from when
we have suffered SO much. is for voters
to lay aside their party feelings in these
matters and determine that no man
shall be elected who is notoriousiy unit
for the place. II the people Will once

that to nominate hummer is to insure
the defeat of that part Of the ticket, they

names that the thinking business men
of the city feel like supporting, instead
of using so much exertion to reconcile

There is no United States Senator to
elect this winter, and consequently even
