gians often visit her at the castle OF

The ey-Empress can not afford to re-
cover. She is happy rs she is, and q
restoration of: her memory would bring
her the keenest. regret. She is still, in
her Xn eyes, the wife of the fair, young
man who was shot to death by Next
cans shortly previous to the termina-
ton of our civil war, and still the En-
press of Mexico. She went to Paris tc
beg Louis Napoleon, who was the
master Of Maximillian in the effort to
convert Mexico into an Empire, to Save
her husband and the Empire, so-called;
but his Majesty had just received word
from Mr., Seward to the effect that he
must get out of Mexico, and he felt
he must leave the well-meaning and
chivalrous young Austrian to his
fate. Carlotta was refused an audi

knew how her husband was shot.
She does mot know, to-day It hat
the Mexican Empire was a failure. The
paper grandeur over which she presided
has faded away. out she thinks herself
as much an Empress as she was when it
existed. The court which recognized
her as its Queen has been scattered to

and women who composed it are dead;
but the Queen is the Queen still, with
her King. her companions, and her
servants about her, She reaches out
