A story of the Empress Eugene.

The following is the latest story that is
told about the Empress Eugene, who has
ever been a striking figure since the day she
charmed Napoleon Ill with the wreath Of
violets which she wore in her golden hair.
Twas morning then, but now the night
has come" A few days ago, says the
chronicler, visitor to the Marcus church
at Venice, where the ex- empress is now stay
ing, observed lady, dressed in deepest
mourning, kneeling in long, silent prayer
before one of the side altars When at last
she rose she looked about her in search of
something which she missed, and then
walked slowly away, and supporting herself
by the wall, toward the entrance. The
Stranger politely offered his arm, which was
gratefully accepted, the lady meanwhile ex-
paining that one of the beggars must have
taken her silver headed walking stick
away, without which she was very help
less" Outside the church two liveried foot
men were waiting; the stranger on retiring
offered his address card alas, for cruel
Nemesis, he was German from Berlin y,
glancing at which the lady was seen to shud
der slightly and then return the civility by
whispering. Empress Eugene, and

proved the sentence, so did Secretary OF
War Stanton; so at that time did Gen.
Grant.
Years afterwards, however, Gen. Grant
and many Others changed their minds on the
question. There are those who do not hesi-
tate to say that others higher in Office than
Gen. Porter deserved disgrace and even
death at that time, if any ybody did. 1t has
been said, indeed, that half the important
officers of the army deserved to be shot for
their incapacity during the first years of
the war. The rea on alleged for Porter's
negligence was that there was a ring of
eastern officers devoted to Gen. Mcclellan
who were determined that no western man
should be the general of the army. If Pope
succeeded he, coming from the west would
at once become the rising man of the hour.
Therefore, he was not supported with
alacrity.
Such pitiful jealousies and examinations
and recriminations look very contemplate
now in the great light that the tremendous
events of those years have thrown upon the
civil war. But that such feelings did exist
abundantly is itself part of the history Of the
war. Gen. Porter's case will be settled by
every man according to his own beliefs and
prejudices.
Certain it is that he was gallant officer
and soldier aside from this event. He was
born in 1922 in New Hampshire, graduated
at West Point in 1S45, went through the
Mexican war with distinguished bravery,
and was in many battles of the early part
Of the civil war. He was a colonel in the
regular army, and a major general of volun-
teers
From the time of receiving his heavy sem
tence twenty-three years ago Gen. Porter
has never ceased his efforts to have it re-
called The case is as celebrated as that of
Jarndyce and Jarndyce in Dickens. He
was young, strong man when it was
passed. He is now gray-haired and old. He
has said he did not care on his own account,
but because of his children He did not
wish them to be freighted with the woe of
being the sons and daughters of disgraced
man. His efforts have at length been re-
wardei. In 1878 an army boar met and
removed the heaviest of the disabilities. The
recent act of congress signed by the presi-
dent puts him on the regular retired list Of
army colonies. Gen. Porter is one Of the
police commissioners of New York city.

struck down, Potter, of Wisconsin, snatched
Barksdale's wig off. In his excitement Potter,
not knowing it was a wig, was almost wild
with CONSERVATION lest he had torn Barks-

Barksdale writes:
