A Mad Empress Dying.

GThe ex- Empress Corlatta, of Mexico,
is lying seriously i'll at the beautiful
old castle Of Bouchont, near Brussels.
She was born June Z, 1910, the daugh.
ter of Leopold L., King OF Belgium,
and of his wife, the Princess Louise,
daughter of Louise Philippe, King OF
the French, and she is the only sister
of Leopold H., the present King OF
Belgium. On July 81, 1857, she was
married to the Archduke Macmillan,
of Austria. This unfortunate MAJ,
was elected Emperor of Mexico on
July 10, 1868. When, in consequence
of the opposition Of the United States
government, he LOST French support,
the empire collapsed, and July 10,
1866, Macmillan was shotby the Mex
lean authorities. The awful shock of
her husbands execution robbed Car
lotta' of her reason, and for nineteen
years she has been hopelessly insane.
