The Condition of the Emperor Maxlmii-
ian's Widow.

The Condition OF the Emperor Na1l"n-
ian's Widow.
The recent death of Col. Vandevclde is
a great misfortune for the poor distraught
Empress Charlotte Of Mexico, who has
been under his care for many years at
the Chateau de Bouchout. The Empress
was greatly attached to Col. Vandevelde,
and his death has not been announced to
her She has been told that he has tai ken
long journey on business for his brother,
the king Of the Belgians. She passes
much of her time at the piano and at her
easel; but since she began to notice the
Coloncrs absence the Empress has neither
played note nor touched her pencils.
One of the characteristics of her malady,
however, is lack of memory, and it is
therefore hoped that in a short time she
will have forgotten her guardian. even as
she seems to have forgotten the whole of
her past existence.
She never speaks of Macmillan or of
Mexico, nor even Of her father, Leopold
l., whose favorite child she was. OF late
wears she has become absolutely indif-
ferent to dress, although in the earlier
years of her insanity she was constantly
occupied with her toilet. and even while
she was living at the Chateau de Tervue-
rem showed q marked tendency toward
coquetry. Sometimes she would arrange
her smartest dresses upon the chairs.
seemingly imagining that she was still
the centre of court, and would address
the gowns alternately in three or four
different languages.
When little while ago Maximilian's
valet-who was with him to the last
| himself became insane and was taken to
Miramar, she fretted about the poor tcl-
low for few days and then completely
forgot him. The afflicted lady receives
the kindlest treatment from all about
her, and is frequently visited by the King
and Queen of the Belgiansand the Comte
de Flandre. London W0rld
