The Emperor MaxlmIlIan's Widow.

The recent death OF Col. Vandevelde
Ia great misfortune for the poor dis
traught Empress Charlotte, Of Mexico,
who has beon under his care for many
years at the Chateau do Bouchout. The
Empress was greatly attached to Col.
Vendovelde, and his death has not been
announced 10 her. She has been told
that he has taken a long journey on bus.
mess for her brother, the King Of the Bel
gians. She passes much OF her time at
the piano and at her easel; but since she
began to notice the Colonel's absence the
Empress has neither played a note nor
touched her pencils. Ono Of the charac-
teristics OF her malady, however, is lack
Of memory, aud II is therefore hoped
that IN a short time che will have forgot
ton her guardian, even as she seems to
have forgotten the whole OF her past or.
istence.
She never speaks OF Macmillan or Of
Mexico, nor even of her father, Leopold
l., whose favorite child she was. OF late
years she has become absolutely indif
terent to dress, although in the earlier
years OF her insanity she was constantly
occupied with her toilet, aud even while
she was living at the Chateau de Tervu.
eren showed marked tendency toward
coquetry. Sometimes she would arrange
her smartest dresses upon the chairs,
seemingly imagining that she was still
in the centre OF court, and would ad.
dress the gowns alternately in tkrec or
four different languages.
When, little while ago, Maxmilinn's
Valet-who was with him TO the last
himself became insane aud was taken TO
Miramar, she fretted about the poor fell
low for few days and then completely
forgot him. Tho afflicted lady receives
the kindest treatment from all about her,
and is frequently visited by the King
and Queen ofthe Belgians and the Comte
de Flandre.

Spring Wraps for Ladies.


Dressy mantles for the spring are
small in shape, and are more often col
ored than black. For the last cool days
they are made OF frise velvet, Sicilienne,
or Of figured camel's-hair; while for
summer wear they are of beaded grena-
dine, velvet-fgured grenadine, OF Of
lace. They are now lined with glace
silk instead Of surah, and this is in
changeable colors, checks, or fine
stripes. The trimmings are beaded pas
sementeries and gathered frills of lace,
which may be the French imitation
thread lace, or else the newer wool lace
which is called indisGRiminately yak or
Angora; chenille fsinges are again used,
with drops Of jet amid their headings,
or else with tinsel combined in the che
mile strands; gall0Ons, with beads and
with tinsel, trim Che colored nantes.
In shape these garments are quite short
behind, reaching only slight distance
below the waist line, and fashioned by
three seams, giving two forms for the
middle of the back that fit almost as
closely as those Of dress. The sides
are shoulder pieces all in one, and may
form small sleeve, or else they merely
lap forward on the arm. The fronts may
be long, or only extended halfway to
the knees. A ribbon attached to the
bac) seam inside ties around the waist,
anc there are other bands of elastic rib
bcn to hold the sides in place, or to adj
irst the fullness of the tournure. These
garments are usually very high in the
neck, and are trimmed there with full
frill of lace. All laces are now gath
cred instead of being pleated, and a
single row three inches wide, set Just
under the edge OF the garment, is con-
sidered sufficient trimming for plain
nantes; this frill extends up each side
of the front, and passes around the
neck; if there must be more elaborate
trimming, the edge OF the garment is
cut in points, and finished with jetted
pendants that fall on the lace, or else
there is jetted network, or passemen-
terie of jet plaques, stars, leaves, or
flowers, with dropping fringe set on
above the gathered edge Of the lace;
there may also be two frills of lace, one
narrower than the other, and both
sewed under the jet trimming. Wide
satin ribbon bows or sash loops and
ends are added to the tournure Of some
mantles. The cape basques formerly
worn are shown again, with the basque
plain over the back and sides, while the
arms pass ont beneath the round cape.

The Curse OF Scotland.

The following is the story of the nine
of diamonds being called "The Curse OF
Scotland: "a few evenings before the
battle Of Culloden, there were gathered
in the apartments of the Pretender, at
Inverness, few of his friends for the
purpose of playing cards. In the course
of the evening the nine OF diamonds be-
longing to the pack with which they
were playing was lost. On the night
after the battle, which resulted so dis
astrously for the Pretender's forces, the
Duke OF Cumberland entered Inverness,
and, as was his inevitable custom, took
up his quarters in the apartments which,
had been recently occupied by Charles
Edward. On the following morning q
scout brought word that small force
of the defeated army had taken refuge
in deep gorge among the mountains.
The duke at once directed an officer to
take q number of men, surround the
party, and to put every man to death
who was found in arms. The officer,
reluctant to carry out the Infamous
order, declined to take the command
without he received q written order.
The duke looked around the room to
find piece of paper TO write the order
on; some one picked up the lost card,
and presented il to the duke, who wrote
the order on it, and handed it to the
officer. The soldiers departed on their
errand Of butchery, and so we'll did they
execute the dukes command, that not
one Of the devoted Highlanders escaped
death. Hence il is shat the nine of dia-
monds is called 'sThe Curse Of Scot
land"

Something to Think or

The New York freeman, the organ
Of the colored people, says: The colored
people Of New York squander annually
more than $50 600 in balls, picnics and
excursions. This money is absolutely
thrown away, since even the pleasure il
is supposed to purchase is oftener the
poison Of death than the elixir Of life.
We should grow more thoughtful in
these matters. The poverty Of the race
is standing protest and reproach that
such extravaganza should obtain. As
long as We spend money as we now do,
together with the other drawbacks we
have to contend against, we cannot hope
for much amelioration Of our hard con-
dition.

Futy Years Ago

The statement has often been made
that about fifty years ago John Jacob
Astor was the only citizen OF the United
States worth $1,000, 600 This may
have been true OF the residents OF New
York, but not OF those of other American
cities. Stephen Girard, for example,
when he died in Philadelphia at the
close Of 1881, left an estate valued at
5000, 900. What is known there as
the Girard property is now estimated to
be worth more than 800, 000, 600.
Girard, after he got his financial start in
life, always counted himself lucky. An
instance thereof was that when two OF
his vessels were near the end Of the last
century, in one OF the ports Of Santo
Domingo, the negro insurrection against
the French occurred. A number Of
planters ON the island, who put their
treasures on board for safety, we're mas
sacred with their families, and nearly
500. 600. 10 which there were no heirs,
remained in Girard's hands. That was
at the time the bulk Of his fortune
