An Old Romance Revived.

A romance connected with the career
of the great Napoleon is revived by the
Dresden correspondent of the Detroit
Free Press. Three miles from Dresden
is the village of Planen, one OF the
prominent features of which is ruined
chateau. In 1872 1t was the seat OF
Count Kielmansegge, who was one OF the
gayest officers of the Saxon court. ne
had beautiful bride of sixteen, who,
during the period when Napoleon had
his headquarters at Dresden, was
fascinated by the Emperor, and became
his mistress. Count Kielmansegge, on
learning that she had proved false to her
marriage vows, hurried her from court
to the seclusion of the chateau. Some
time afterwards he died from poison,
which she was proved to have admins
tered. She was sentenced to death, Dut
Napoleon interceded for her with the
Saxon monarch, and though pardon
could not be granted, the sentence was
committed to imprisonment for life IN
the chateau, with the provision that she
was never to see a human face excep,
those of two female attendants ana tha'
of the public executioner. AS a con
slant reminder of her crime ana its re-
mitted punishment, she was compelled
to wear a crimson silken cord around bel
neck, and the executioner was EN-
powered to visit her frequently to se'
that the badge was worn. She died il
1873, an aged, infrm woman, and wheI
the chateau was sold with adjoining
property to brewery company, a pill
of letters from the great Emperor, of til,
most amatory and passionate natur
were discovered, which drew attention
to the halfforgotten life-story of tn
Countess Kielmansegge.

reply to the Emperor of Germany's let.
ter of congratulatiOn on the occasion of
the centenary of American independ-
ence:
Ulysses $. Grant, President Of the United States of
King of Prussia, etc.
GREAT AND Coop FRIEND: Your letter of
June 0, in which you were pleased to offer
your cordial congratulations upon the occa-
sion of the Centennial anniversary which
we have recently celebrated, was placed in
my hands on the Fourth of July, ard its
contents were perused with unfeigned sat
isfacti0n. Such expressions of sympathy
for the past progress of this country, and
of good wishes for its future welfare as
are contained in that communication, are
the more gratifying because they proceed
from the head OF q great empire with which
this Republic, during the whole century
OF its existence, has maintained relations
of peace and friendship which have been
conspicuous alike in prosperity and adj.
versity, and have become continually
frmer with the increasing progress and
prosperity OF both countries. 1t is my sin.
cere desire that this mutual cordaiity and
this prosperity which have been the lot of
the two countries during the first century
of our independence may be voucbsafed to
them during the century which is TO come
Wishing you u long reign, health and happi.
ness, 1 pray God that He may have your
Majesty in His safe and holy keeping.
u. y. GRANT.
BY the President. Hamilton Fish, hecretary
of State.

civil engineers and draughtsmen having
their curiosity aroused by the talk about
biographies in the schools, began an ex'
animation of the rival publications, in order
to form judgment as to their comparative
merits, viewed from the standpoint Of their
profession. Several series were considered
and the decision was unanimous that the
maps of the Eclectic series were the best fol
accuracy and completeness, as well as neat
ness and finish in printing. The result Of 6
careful comparison of the methods of teach

Three large bows of lace, with flower
in the center of each, are called P0mpa-
dour bows, and are worn in front OF
square necked dresses.
The new collars are called bibs They |
are made of fine white organdie, cut
quite straight around the neck, with the
front laid in fine plaits and edged with
lace.
Worth makes wool dresses for the
early fall with blouse waists, that are
held in place by wide belt of velvet,
dresses have yokes in the back, but not
in front.
POmpadOur fchus are to be worn with
square.necked dresses. These are made
of lace ruches, with ribbon in the
center to hold them in place. A rose
bud in nest of lace is placed on the
left side of the neck.
The new head-dress worn in daytime
and in the house by Parisiennes, is
called the PompadOur fanchOn. 1t is
fanehon square of lace with ends that
are passed under the chin and fastened on
the left side by bow of ribbon.
For edging garments trimmed with
braid, fringe is the appropriate choice.
The new fringes are 80 wide and elab0r-
ate as to almost form the garment itself,
and, indeed, many cardinal capes, tichus,
and tabliers are made of chenille fringe.
Ladies who are fond of contrasts will
prefer to relieve dark costumes by wear
ing light gloves, such as the new greenish
, cream color and many unbleached and
yellow shades, the latter are deeper and
darker in gloves as well as dress goods
The polOnaise is very decidedly in
favor again. 1t is made very long and
, clingipg in front and on the sides, and
the drapery behind is neither gathered
nor pulled, but is merely drawn back by
one large bow or by the scarf arrange
ment Just noticed.
Ladies who study economy, and at the
J same time want to be well-glOved, use
, the undressed kid glove for all occasions
: even when full dress is required. 1t il
true, they soil easily, but they are also
easily cleaned, and are more durable
/ than the dressed kid.

Brutal Affair.

A steamer left Philadelphia, on the night
Of August 81, with the pugilists Wheedon
and Walker, and their friends, effecting a
landing on the New jersey shore. A ring
was formed near PenDsville, and the fight
was commenced. IL is said the sheriff made
an effort 10 interfere, but was restrained by
the mob. After stubborn fight Of sixty
two rounds Wheedon was declared victor.
The sheriff notified the crowd that he would
follow the principals and such Of their abet
tors as he could recognize, TO Philadelphia,
and then prosecute them to the full extent
OF the law.
Walker was killed in the fight. His dead
body was found, in the evening, on Salt
Wharf, at Greenwich Point, and was re-
moved TO his fathers residence. His face
and neck were battered and swollen out of
all shape. Wheedon is said TO be badly cut
up.
A young man called at the police head
quarters late in the evening, ana stated that
after the fight Walker was laid on n table i'm
the ring, and every one deserted him; that
he hailed q party in q boat about putting off,
and got them to assist him in placing Wake
on board. Walker was insensble ut the
time, and remained so up to the time of his
death, which occurred when half way up TO

UsefnI Information.

The question is often asked at what
time in the day fruit should be eaten.
In tropical countries, where fruit is the
chief article of food, the rule appears to
be that the earlier in the day it is taken
the better, and the later, the wore. In
hot weather many wise people will ent
none after noon, alleging that the di-
geston then declines in power with the
day, and the fruit, instead of digesting,
decomposes, owing to the presence of the
saccharine matter. The objection to
fruit and certain kinds of vegetables late
in the day, be the explanation what it
may be, is certainly justified by an am
pie experience, though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling any
inconvenience.
GROUND glass may be successfully inn
itated in the following manners: Cut
from tissue paper or white muslin fancy
figures, and then with transparent gum
or paste fasten the paper or muslin on
the glass. Glass doors and windows
covered i'm this way need no other screen
to keep out questioning eyes or unpleas-
ant sights. The same end may be OBJ
tanned by applying to the windows with
n brush h,t saturated solution OF sal
ammopiac, or of Glauber's salts, or of
Epsonn salts. The crystallizations in the
first instance will be in straight lines
diycrging from a point. The EPSON
salts will form four.sided prisms, and
the Glauber's salts six-sided prisms. A
perfect and beautiful screen may thus be
obtained.
