The moonlight sails, and the amorous talks.

Nature lay under sheet asleep,
For the snow on the ground was Inches deep.
Mother and daughter gossiped fast,
And the tattling telegraph poles dew past

Poor Ethel saw, and turned, and blushef.
Alas, that drummer cannot be crushed!

And "charmed TO 500 you againl' no said

MAHE ANInINETTE.

Marie Antoinette de Lorraine
Queen Of France, was the youngest
daughter Of Emperor Francis /, and
Maria There's, having been born at
Vienna, Nov. 2, 1855. At the age OF
IA years she was betrOthed 70 the
Dauphin, and In the following year
was married at Versailles. She was
well recslved by her husband and the
King, Louis XIV, but she soon had
occasion to know that powerful enc
mics were at work 70 hinder her at
court and in the eyes Of the people.
When on the death Of Louis XIV, her
husband became Louis XVI, her en-
emies accused her Of constant in
trigues, but not one Of them was ever
proved. Her faults were, briefly, q
certain levity Of disposition, a gifllsh
love Of pleasure, banouets, fine
dress, an indifference TO public opin-
Ion, and an incapacity to see the con-
ditiOn Of France. In the minds Of
the masses, the affair Of the diamond
necklace hOpelessly compromised her
good name, although Marie AntOin-
cite was quite innocent Of any grave
offense. In q political sense she was
also unfortunate, as certain ministers
Of her choice recklessly squandered
the national finances. When the rev.
olution broke out she was an object Of
fanatical hatred to the Partisan mObs.
Oct, 8, 1859, her life was attempted
At Versailles by & band Of assassins,
and her escape was narrow. There
after she made spasmOdlc efforts 70
gain the pOple's good will, but for
these endeavOrs she seemed TO draw
down upon herself more than ever
the hate Of the pOpulaee. At last she
resolved on flight, and she and the
King got as far Varennes, when they
were recognized. From that time
forward Marie Antolnette rose TO the
demands Of the hour, and ceased TO
be what she had been-she became
heroic. She was tried, the trial last
ing two days. She insisted that
nothing had been proved against her,
aud that she had only done her duty
rs a wife in obeylng her husband.
Her enemies, however. found her
guilty Of having cOnspired Rgainst
France abroad and at home, and she
was sentenced to be executed Oct, 16,
1898. Amer her sentence she was
taken TO q cell Of condemned prison.
ers, where she Immediately wrote q
and spirited letter to Mime.
Elizabeth, which has sbeen preserved.
Dressed In plain white, and having
'ut her beautiful blonde hair with her
)wn hands, she was conveyed to the
yuillOtine like other victims, 1Only
hat more than $1,000 soldiers were
stationed In the streets. She showed |
neither haughtiness nor humility in |
Ter bearing, and stepped with firm
less upon the scaffold. Her remains |

WHIrE HOUSE pINNFR eosslP.

WAsHINaToN, d. c., March %
The President gave another dinner
TO Representatives on Wednesday
evening. he has now pretty nearly
got through with both houses Of Con-
gress, dining them in patches Of
twenty, with their wives. On We'd
nesday evening the President selected
Mrs. Morrison 10 accompany him to
the dining room, while Mr.. Morrison
and Mrs. MeElroy brought up the
tail Of the procession. Covers were
laid for fifty, and there were twenty
courses, each one more elaborate than
Its predecessor. Ali the floral decor
ations were horizontal, and some took
this as q compliment TO Mr.. Morrison.
10 has been established as the mode
ct the White House that 81 monster
elevations in the middle Of the table
shall be abolished, and nothing but
fat decorations used, except bowls OF
long-stemmed roses placed al inter-
vals. This gives the President an op-
portunity TO let all the ladies make
eyes ct him &c once, 90 there can be
no partiality. There Is q suspicion
gaining ground that Mrs. MeElrOy
has performed the duties OF the lady
Of the White House too well, and has
quite put II out Of the Presidents
bead TO supply the establishment
with an all the year round mistress.

IT is alleged that the principal
cause Of Minister Sargent's unpOpu-
larity at the court OF Berlin was his
'lsck Of social tact and want Of re-
gard for the forms Of etiquette and
customs prevailing at the Imperial
Court. The minister and bis accom-
plished wiA tolerated at social par
ties the discussion Of both male and
female sufferage-subjecis insxpTessi-
bly, repulsive to officers Of the Ger
man government. It was In the
American minister's home that Herr
LaskeF found q warm reception and
congenial company, and this was prae-
tieally crime that Bismarck could
never forgive. Under the oircum-
stances we smile at the slap IN the
face which President Arthur gave to
his despOtship, Prince Bismarck,
when he promoted Sargent to the
Russian mission-a merclless but dig
ntiied sRub which Bismarck has no
means Of resentinR.
