"Reminiscences of the French Empire

The Paris correspondent OF the New
York Times, writing OF the row between
The Prince Imperial and the Prince Ma
poleon Jerome, says: This reminds me
OF a piece of gossip that heard during
the best days Of the Empire. In the
most high and palmy state of Rome,
little ere the mightiest Julius fell, when
Baron Haussman was Prefect OF the
Seine, and great tayorite at Court, on
the 18th OF November, st. Eugenie's
Day, he was invited to dinner at Com
piegne to celebrate the birthday OF the
Empress.
About eighty guests were invited. In
front OF the Emperor was Prince Ma
| poleon, beside whom were the Minister
and Baron Haussman. AT dessert the
Emperor said, "My cousin, you will
| nave the honor of proposing the Gus
tomary toast to her Majesty the EN-
press" sIp cried Plon-Plon, with great
brutality, 'JamaisW This piece OF in
science took every body by surprise. No
one said word as the Emperor sank
back into his seat and turned his glass
a moment in his hand. Presently he
turned to Baron Haussman and said,
| "My dear Baron, you are always ready
| for every occasion; you VIII be KIND
enough to propose this toast, will you
not?'
"Certainly, SIRE" responded the Ba-
ron, who rose, glass in band.
4 "I forbid any one to toast me now,"
tcried the Empress, beside herself at the
| affront Prince Napoleon had offered her,
| and her flashing eyes told clearly that
| she was having hard work keeping her
| Spanish temper under control.
The Baron bowed and resumed his
seat, but as he did SO he presented his
glass right and left raised in the air.
| The movement was understood. With a
childish look OF pleasure the Emperor
tcaught up his glass, followed the Baron's
texample, and the toast was drank in
lsilence. When the glasses were drained
the Emperor half rose and bowed his
thanks to Baron Haussman, and the EN-
press rose from the table, passed by the
Prince of the blood, and gave her arm 10

To the Editor of the National Republican:

man as politely as possible, (though did not

is a schedule hanging up outside" Now the
schedule did not give the desired information,
as there was soon to be change of time; so l
quietly went out, not, however, without taking
a good look at the august gentleman with
such vast interests at stake that be could not

port of the committee in regard to water rents.

fray the expenses of the water-rent and that
nearly all of 1t had been expended; that, not
withstandiDg the recent decision, they pro-
posed to push the matter further, and carry it
to the court in banc; that they proposed to pay
the rent under protest, so that If the court In
banc be in our favor 1t will be refunded.
The report was accepted, and the meeting

PHOTOGRAPHIC DEATH.
Strange Suicide Of Beautiful Young Gi

GREAT BEND, PA, Sept. 2, 1875.
To the Editor Of the National Republican,:
SIR: Two miles back, in one of the little
valleys which lead into the main valley of the
Susquehanna river, about three miles from
this burg, we witnessed a scene last night
which for its weird surroundings and mys-
terious character excels anything which we
have seen chroncled for many months. A re-
port reached town last night that young
lady, named Carrie May Cary, had been found
hung to a tree in the deep woods of a section
of the country known here as Egypt. The
burgess of the borough Immediately sum-
moned jury of inquest and repaired to the
spot to make an investigation. 1t was nearly
midnight when we reached the scene of the
tragedy. As we approached the outskirts of
dense forest two lights were seen dimly
burning in the woods, around which sat three
stalwart men keeping rigid watch over the
young form which was still dangling from the
limb Of a small birch sapling. Presently we
stood by the lifeless body of a beautiful girl
only fifteen years of age. Her face was calm,
and the first lineament showing that she had
suffered or struggled in the unfortunate death
battle through which she had just passed.
One hand gracefully clasped the body of the
tree, and one foot rested upon a small stump
close to the body of the sapling from which
she was suspended. The hangman's moose
had been skillfully tied AMI properly adjusted.
Her clothes were tastefully arranged, and
everything bore evidence that she had taken
measures to look as beautiful In death as the
gloomy and strange surroundings would
permit.
1t was a weird and solemn sight. A dozen
brawny and broad-chested lumbermen stood
here and there about the spot in silence. The
jurymen and physician carefully examined the
form for evidences of violence, but none were
found. Then four men took the body in their
arms, and the fatal rope was severed. A pro-
found stiffness reigned, and as the form was
being lowered to a horizontal startling half
scIeech aud half groan escaped from the pallid
lips of tine dead. The superstitious cried, "My
Gcd, she is alive p but this impression was
dispelled by the physician, who immediately
announced that the rolse resulted from escap-
ing gases, " hich had been confined in the
throat by the action of the moose. The form
was then removed to house, where an inves-
tigation was had into the cause of her death.
1t seems that she was engaged to be married.
but that during the absence of her lover she
had been to the photographers with another
Young fellow and had o tin-type taken. This
the young man displayed among his friends,
and announced that it was his intended wife.
Friends of the young lady informed her of the
fact, and told her that, should her intended
husband ever hear of it, he would never marry
her. This, it is believed, preyed upon her
mind, until, through desperation, she sought
relief in suicide. B.

of Jacob Martin near by, where he partially
recovered, and was then carried to the First

moned, and pronounced his injuries of q seri-
GUS character, fearing that his skull has been
fractured. He was conveyed to bis home by
his friends on F street, between Ninth and

crowd gave three rousing cheers for H lyes

which was chanted very lively by the many
