All tliis ma .such an impression on the heart of Du Louis that from the moment he first 1 held her at the Munich Theatre, 1 vowed himself to the worship of tl ?one idol. But Mil'-. Mendel was valiant in d fence of her reputation; and aware the responsibility incurred by the pc session of great talent, she resist? (-very overture, even that of marriag on the part of the Duke, well knowii that it was out of his power to contra any alliance of the kind, as much w expected of him by his family. At th time Mlle. Mendel was in the habit wearing a velvet collar with a clasp o ii.unfited by a single pearl of gre value, which had been presented-to h by the King, of Saxony, and in order quell all hope of success in theboso of her royal admirer, she declared liim one day that she had made a vc T i bestow her heart and hand on hi alone-who could match this single pea with as many others as would form tl whole necklace. The declaration w made laughingly, for the fair creatu knew well enough the Duke, li1 j og fully up to his income, which wi but mediocre for his rank, could nev accomplish litis herculean task, and si laughed more merrily still when si beheld the disconsolate expression his countenance af the announcemei she had made. But soon afterward si heard that the Duke had sold his hors and broken up his establishment-goi to live in the strictest retirement in ' . .-ma}! cottage belonging to .his brothel i-rk. ?U?t very night, when about to pla? tba velvet band upon her neck, si lotiid, to her great surprise, that a sci ond t^arl had been added to the das She knef. weu enough v-i.-- , ?am ?nd srail^ sadbr-^f fr iaix tssfo tuat Bube ^ou',s Wils " ^curring ?r love's sake. By aejjrees the velvet, baud beean covered with pearl?, all bf them as fir ds the oie bestwowed by the King < Saxony, until one evening ?Yeat wi the rumor in Augsburg. The lair Mei del had been robbed ; while on th stage, divested of all ornament, in th prison scene as " Bettina von Armstedt, ?1er dressing-room had been entered and the velvet collar, with its row c priceless pearls had disappeared fror the toilet-ttibie. The event was "so toi ri ble, lier nerves so shaken, that in spit of tlie assurance of the chief Poiic "~~ Magistrate, who happened to be iu th theatre at thc moment, that he Ava tsure ro lind tie thief in a very shor ?time, for he hat. the clue already, poo Mlle. Mendel ivas so overcome wit! grief that her .memory failed her en tirely, so that OL returning to thc stag? not a word could she . remember of Tu. part. The audience waited for som? fime in astonishment at the silenci maintained by tte actress; the actress ga'/.eci w' ih/3 audience iupiteoii? embar vas.-menr. until, bi' u sudden inspiration and almost mechanically indited, sin remembered that ehe had the rehears^ copy ol' the play in the pocket of hei ?tp$on. She drew it forth without best f? it iou, v.;/d began to read . from it wit! the greatest sejf-possession imaginable. At first the a4??i.?j.e,-j knew not whethei to laugh or bo angry, hjjp present?) m'.mory, pathos, forgetfulness of all lui Uctv art had returned, to Mlle. Mendel, and ut tho utterance of one of the most impassioned sentiments of her speech ?die Hung th,e rehearsal copy into the .orchestra, and went on with her part without pause or aviation. The ap plause of the audience was so tremen dous that one of the witnesses to the scene has told us that-the great monster chandelier in the centre of the iwof owling to and fro with the vibration. But,op her return to her dressing-room the excitement* proved too much, and Kited away. On coming back to usness it was to fine] Duke Louis feet, and the head Commissaire g by her side, bidding her take i. for the pearls had been found, e are they?" exclaimed she. rou sure that none are missing ? rue been stolen? Duke Louis lisped round hier neck the string .c'3s, complete at last, no longer v* jn to the velvet*band,' but strung ?/rnmetry and fastened with a dia mond" clasp. What more could be done by the devoted lover'.' lie had spared PP^neither pains noir sacrifice to attain his ^ncj, and Mlle. Mendel consented to be come Ui& wife. The Empress of Aus tria appeals to have been much moved - by the story, aux! suggested the nomina tion of the bride -sleet to the title of Baroness de Wallersee,. which thus equalised JbJ rank of the fiancez, and enabled them to marry without d?t?icul-ij ty.

THE SLANDER GMT HE DEAD. ? Lord Bvron, tho poet, was born ii 1788. He died in 1S24-?brty-fiv? years ago. In 1815 he. was married to Misi Milbanke, from whom' he separated for over about one year after their mar riage. She died in 18G0-nine years ago Their daughter, and only child, diet several years earlier, but she left chi! dren, who are still living. Forty-live years after the death o Lord Byron, and nine years alter fch< death of Lady Byron, Mrs. Stowe, ni American woman, comes forward an', announces that she has an importan and interesting secret to disclose : tba the cause of-estrangement and separa tio.n between Lord and Lady Byron wal an adulterous, incestuous intercourse between Lord Byron and his own sis ter ! This fact "Mrs. Siowe says wai communicated to her bv Ladv By roi in 185p. . Two questions arise in the mind o the reader of this horrible announce mont: first, Is it true? and second Ctti bono ?-for what- good end is i made ? There seems to bo no good and suffi cient reason for believing the statemen ut Mrs. Stowe to be (ruo. We'wi Tl creel it her assertion that Lady Byron mad* it to brr. According t<> k#r. own ac count, Lady Byron was very ill at th< time-so ill that she was expected tc die soon. If she was so ill. she proba blyMvns tabing medicines. Was she 01 was she not under tin- influence of opi mu, or of some anodyne that affect?e her reason ? Or it. may be that undei the effects of disease alone her minc had given way. She had suffered greal mental anguish about her separatio! from her husband, and it is not improb abb- that she .was insane'oil this-subject oven if sane on all others. By wind evidence was the hud charge of Lady Byron supported ? So foras we can judge by Mrs. Stowe's article not by one tittle. And tho public arc asked" to believe this terrible accusation on th 1 merest hearsay testimony, which in a court of justice would bc inadmis sible to prove that an accused person had stolen a penny ! It is not Lord Byron alone whose re putation is affected by this dreadful story. The fair fame of his sister-fair, we believe, until now-and who has been permitted long to rest peacefully in her grave-that, too, is to be blight ed and blasted for ever hereafter, hy thc stain of an unnatural crime. It is horrible that a woman of Mrs. Stowe's standing should bring forward this most repulsive charge against thos? whose lips, being sealed in death, can never answer it, however innocent they may have been. And the strong pre sumption, from tho laws of human na ture-so, strong as to bc overcome on ly by tho most irrefragable evidence is, that they wore entirely innocent. It is altogether probable, that even il Lady Byron was sane, and if she sus pected this incredible crime, the suspi cion was the offspring of a jealous and morbid disposition. Whatever people may have thought of Lady Byron here tofore, no one hereafter can blame a hus band for leaving a wife who hated 1 :m bitterly enough to invent this tory about him after he had been dead a third of a century. It seems, however, according to Mrs. Stowe, that the sepa ration was entirely the work of Lord Byron, and that his divine and lovely wife was very ! anxious to continue to live with lier adulterous and incestu ous husband. To one who asked her how she could love him. she replied. " My dear, there w as the ang_l in him." A pretty place, we should think, ac cording tb her own story, for an angel to dwell ! Then, too. Lady Byron al ways expressed tho most undoubting confidence, after his death, that this same aauilorgi;.-; and incestuous fiend had gone straight to heaven ! Lord-Byron's sister, wo are told, in her last sickness and dying hours, look ed to Lady Byron for consolation and help. The woman who, under these circumstances, could deliberately fasten this vile blot on her memory many years after her death, must have been, if sane, a moral monster. Whose iiainfi 3^rs; Stowe has benefit ed we aro unable to perceive. Co?aili ly not Lady Byron's ; fur she had her admirers before, and can have few left now. Not tho names of the innocent grand children, who must suffer crud torture from this scandal. Not her own, which was fair before, but will hereaf ter be associated with one of thc most outrageous and vilest o?" ?iii the priaient stories ever invented. THE BYRON SCANDAL.-Thc Courier Journal has the following: LONDON, August J.8.-Tho Times, in au editorial to-day. in which the sepa ration ol Lord Byron and his wife is detailed, asserts that Mrs. Stowe's nar rative is entirely without foundation I and a base slander. Thc press, of tie c'C^dry universally condemn M?s. Stowe, and she ?tanas this day ot all virtuous women the most unenviaWy notorious. AUNT HARRIET.-The .'Norfolk fin gian calls Mrs. Stowe a ''Literary Body Snatehcr."- She is likewise a trociy loil woman. What an amalgam ! How MEX CAME TO HAVE BEARDS. Von Ucl mont tells us that Adam was created without a beard, but that after he had fallen and sinned, because of the cinful propensities which he derived from the fruit of the forbidden tree a beard was made part of his punishment and disgrace, bringing him thus into nearer resemblance with the .beasts to ward whom he made his nature approx imate. The^aine stigma was not in flicted upon Eve, because even in her fall she retained much of her original modesty, and therefore deserved no such opprobrious mark. Von Helmont ob serves, also, that no good angel appears with a beardj; and this, In says, is a cap ital sign by which angels may be dis tinguished. -- ? ? _____ 55??

Unexampled Perfidy, In the Republican platform, ado] at Chicago in ?86S, it is stipulated : "The question of .suffrage in-all loyal sta tes properly belongs to the ] pie of those States." This was on the cardinal principles on which ( Grant was elected, and the lease power to the Republican party renev It was a solemn pledge given to .people, on which their votes were ? ed. After' securing success hy s means, one of the. hrs' acts of Hie ; ty, was to use its whole power to late-this pledge, arid to take from people of the loyal States the q tion of suffrage which properly bek to them. Thc XVth Amendment, which introduced into Congress at its first sion alter the election, deprives Stale.: of all anthority_pn the qu.es i>! suffrage, and throws, open fheli? box, eve y where, lo the votes of the races of mankind.
