Tbe Prince and tbe Actress. *_ [Fruin* lue Court JournalJ The announcement of the' Imperial ^famil^ of Austria of the marriage of Duke Louis of Bavaria with the beautiful Mlle. Mendel the actress, of Augsburg, .has given a new aimto the theatrical . ambitions of ih^. ladies of tho Paris boards. The ? visw made by the Em press JSUzabeth* to the beautiful ?castle of Lake^tahnoerg, where the-newly married couple. reside ?Jias become the ? talk of even- rqyetyd'arti-sics in Europe. They say in the coulisses here that Her Austrfan Majesty was the great promo ter of the marriage, the story connected with her brother's love and^courtship being romantic enough to excite the strongest interest in her kind womanly heart, and making it forgetful of all distinction of rank where an equal share of love and delicacy had been displayed by both the loverw. MU e. Mendel, who had preserved her rcpitation^nsullied amid all the perils and temptations-of a theatrical life, is considered as the most lovely woman in Germany, her . beauty being of the true German type, of the peculiar fairness beheld in no other cou itry-goldeu hair in soft silky masses, without the smallest tinge of auburn-pure gold-unburnished ; a complexion delicate as the inner pe tals of the Bengal rose-pale pink, scarcely ever seen in nature, and almost impossible toproduce by artificial me'ans; lips of tbe -deepest .carnation ; teeth small and exquisitely white, and eye brows of tljf darkest brown, with eyes of the deepest blue. . ; All this made .such an impression on the heart of Duke Louis that from the moment he first be held her at the Munich Theatre, he vowed himself to the worship of this ?one idol. But Mlle. Mendel was valiant in de fence pf her reputation, and aware of the responsibility incurred by the pos session ol great talent, she resisted every overture, even that of marriage, on the part of the Duke, well knowing that it was out of his power to contract auy alliance of the land, as much was expected of him by his family. At that time Mlle. Mendel was in- the habit of wearing a velvet collar with a clasp or ti am? ?tod by a single pearl of great value, wiiich had been presented-to her by the King, of Saxony, and in order to (j nell all hope of success in th c bosom ol' her royal admirer, she declared to him one day that she had made a vow to bestow her heart and hand on him alone-who could'match this single pearl with as many others as would form the whole necklace. The declaration was made laughingly, for the fair creature knew well enough the Duke, liv ?ing fully up to his income, which was bur mediocre for his rank, could never accomplish this herculean task, and she laughed more merrily still when she beheld the disconsolate expression of his countenance at the announcement she had made. But soon afterward she heard that the Duke had sold his horses and broken up his establishment-gone to live in the strictest retirement in a .small cottage belonging to his brother's j^rk. at very night, when about to place tte velvet band upon her neck, she loi*id, to her areut surprise, that a sec ond poarl badajeen added to the clasp. She kn&f? weiq enoagh v-1--- j* came. ^J^&^T^^^' or iabcr ?ure that Duke Louis was in ~if?rn?g fir love's sake. By deg-ees the velvet band became covered with pearls, all bf them as fine as the oie aestwowed by the King of Saxorfy, until one evening great was the rumor in Augsburg. The fair Men del had been robbed; while on the stage, divested of all ornament, in the prison scene as " Bettina von Armstedt," her dressing-room had been entered, and the yeiyet collar, with its row of priceless pearls had disappeared from the toilet-rabie. The event vms'SQ ter rible, her nervesiso shaken, that in spite of the assurance of the chief Police Magistrate, who happened to be in the theatre at thc moment, that he was au?) to lind ti e thief in a very short ?time, for he hat the clue already, poor ii lie. Mendel'liras so overcome with grief that her '^memory failed her en tirely, so that ot returning tr) thc stage not a word coulai she-remember of lur part. The. audience waited for some piuie in astonishment at thc silence maintained by tte actress ; the actress gazed u pjjp audience in piteous embar rassment, until, br a ?miden inspiration, .and almost niectanioaliy fgdeecj, she remembered that?he hail" the rehearsal copy of thc play un the- pocket of her ?tpj?on. She drew it forth without hesi ? itioa, -and began to read . from it with .the greatest se)f-possession imaginable. At first the aAfdiei-cp knew not whether .to laugh or be angry, b,ujL presently ra ?iupry, pathos, forgetfulness of all lui Uer arr had returned to Mlle. Mendel, and in ?the utterance of one of the most impassioned sentiments of her speech . ?he flung the rehearsal copy into the .orchestra, and went on with her part Avithout pause or hesitaiion. 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 soof swung to and fro with thc vibration ?Bnt,o?p her return to her dressing-room .the ?xcit?r&eni" provod-too much, and she fainted ??way. On coming back to consciousness it was to find Duke Louis \fj her feet, and the head Commissaire ling by her side, bidding her take .age, for the pearls had been found, ere a*e they?" exclaimed she. you sure that none are missing ? one been stolen? Puke Louis ??pee! round her neck the string -vt'^s, complete at la?t, no- Longer y' on to the velvet*band,' but strung ?metry and fastened with a dia ' clasp. What more could be done ie devoted lover ? He had spared ieither pains noir sacrifice to attain his (end, and Mlle.

THE SLANDER 0*THE DEAD. f Lord Bvron, thc poet, was born in 1788: He'died in 1824-forty-five yeSps ag?. In 1815 he^?was married to Miss; j\tylbanke, from whom" he separated for-'" ever about one year after their maia riage. Sie died in 18G0-nine years ag<U Their daughter, and only clrild, died! several years earlier, but she left chil^ dren, who are still living, Forty-five years after the death of Lord Byron, and nine years after the death of Lady Byron, Mrs. Stowe,? an American woman, comes forward and announces that she has au important and interesting secret to disclose : that the cause df^strangement and separa tion between Lord and Lady Byron was an adulterous, incestuous intercourse between Lord Byron and his own sis ter ! This fact Mrs. Stowe says was communicated to her bv Ladv Byron inlS56. . Two questions arise in the mind, of the reader of this horrible announce ment: first, Is it true? 'and second, Cai ?ono ?-for what* good end is it made? There seems to be no good and suffi cient reason for believing the statement ot Mrs. Stowe'to. be true. WVwirl cred it her assertion that Lady Byron made it to her. According to liar, own ac count, Lady Byron was very ill at the lime-so ill that she was expected to die sp?'ni If she was so ill, sue proba bly* was talcing medicines. Was she or was she not under tye influence of opi um, or of some anodyne that affected her reason ? Or it may be. that under the effects of disease alone her mind had given way. She had suffered great mental anguish about her separation from her husband, und it is not improb able that she .was insane on ibis-subject, even if sane on ?ill others. By what evidence was the foul charge of Lady Byron supported ? So taras we can judge by Mrs. Stowe's article, not by one tittle. And the .public are asked* to believe this terrible accusation on th ? merest hearsay testimony, which in a court of justice would be 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. Tho 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 bc blight ed and blasted for ever hereafter, by the 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 the laws of human na ture-so, strong as to bc overcome on ly by the most irrefragable evidence is, that they were entirely innocent. It is altogether probable, that even if 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 Icaying a .wife who hated him bitterly enough to invent this story 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 her adulterous and iucesjju ous husband. To one who asked her how she could Joye him, she replied, .' My dear, there was the angel in him." A pretty place, we should think, ac cording to her own story, for ari angel to dwell ! Then, too, Lady Byron al ways expressed the most undoubting confidence, after his death, that this same adulterous and incestuous fiend had gone straight to heaven ! Lord*Byron's sister, we are told, in her List 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 #1110, a moral monster. Whos? name Stowe has benefit ed we are unable to perceive. Certain? ly not Lady Byron's; for she had her admirers before, and can have few left now. Not the names of the innocent grand children, who must suffer cruel torture from this scandal. Not her own, .which was lair before, but will hereaf ter bo associated with one o; tho most outrageous and vilest of all the prurient stories ever invented. TIIE BYRON SCANDAL.-Thc Courier Journal has the following : LONDON, August J.8.-The Times, in an editorial to-day. in which the sepa-j ration of Lord Byron and his wife is ! detailed, asserts that Mrs. Stowe's nar rative is entirely without foundation and a bas? slander. The press, of the cC^ntry 'universally condemn Mrs. Stowe, and she glands this day of all yirtnou. women the most unenviably notorious. AUNT HARRIET.^-The .'Norfolk Vir, (/tan calls Mrs. Stowe a "Literary Body 3natchcr.'-'-She is-KkeVisc" a troofyi loil woman. What an amalgam ? How MEN GAME TO HAVE BEARDS. Von Belmont tells us that Adam was ireated.without a beard, but that after he had fallen and sinned, because of the sinful propensities which he derived from the fruit of the forbidden tree a beard was made part of his punishment md disgrace, bringing him thus into nearer resemblance with the .beasts to ward whom he made his nature approx imate. The%ame stigma was not in flicted upon Eve.'becau?e-. even'in her fall she retained much of her original modesty, and therefore deserve'd no such opprobrious mark. Von Helmont ob serves, also, that no good angel appear? with a beard); and this, he'says, is a cap ital sign by which angels may be dis tinguished. ?gy*John Morrissey was arrested in 3ork a tow days ago for being drunk, ind brought before the Police Court.

Curious Scene in a New Orlcan Court.

" Ain't you going to kiss ?" was aga inquired. "Sar!" repeated the astonished de key, evidently mistaking the meani: of the Court, and surprised bcyoi measure at such an invitation, "Kiss, I tell you !" thundered t judge. . " Yes. sar! yes, sar!" exclaimed t] frightened and trembling darkey, ncr ing himself for the contemplated ci brace, and without more ado the loi anjjs of thc son of Ham were throv around the judicial jjeck, and before '. could be prevented a stentorian sinai resounded through the court-room.

At last, however, the office of tlie .Court interfered, and the .tu strangled! judge was rescued from t! clasp i>? the literal witness,' " Catch him ! Put him in jail !

That I should bc hugged by a nigger!" and the judge again poured forth his vituperations. But the offending darkey was .at last locked uv, and the Court settled 'down to its habitual order and quiet. . tuexainpled Perkily. In the Republican platform, adopted at Chicago in lSGS,t it is stipulated that "The question of. suffrage in-all ?he loyal states properly belongs to the peo ple of those States." This was one of the cardinal principles on which Gen. Grant was elected, and thc lease of power to the Republican party renewed. It was a solemn pledge given to thc .people, on which their votes were ask ed. After' securing success by .such means, one of the "firs: acts of the par ty, was to use its whole power to vio late' this pledge, and t.o> take from the people of the loyal States the ques tion of suffrage which properly belongs to them. The XVth Amendment which was introduced into Congress at its first ses sion after the election,, deprives thc Stat es. of all authority., on Jhe q^es-ttan p! suffrage, and throws, open"flic T?ufot box, eve y where, to the votes of all the races of mankind. Had i)ot the pledge been given, and had the secret purpose to take from the people of the Sta tes.this vital right been known, the Republican party .would have been de teated. They owe their success to pcr fidy, aggravated b}r the frauds, violence and injustice with which they are striv ing to can%itinto execution. Congress. not satisfied with the pal pable violation of the covenant with' the people, in proposing tho Amendaient in the usual manner have anliext d compulsory provision, applicable to Vir ginia, Mississippi and Texas, by which these States are to be excluded from the Union until they ratify it. Party machinery has been callen in to requisition in all quarters, to pre vent the people from giving an expres sion on the subject, and to effect this change in our system of government, so revolutionary in its character, 'n a manner and by means cont rary td the majority principle, and subversive of the spirit of the constitution. Legislatures have gone through with tho form of ramifying, wb,r-h werefcleo ted in the campaign of I068, stabling with their party upon, the Chi jago pledge: other Legislatures, in .Sates ruled by the bayonet, whereJta in elli gent citizens were outlawed^ Aval also mocked the forms of'ratification- [ Take in the whole history of thisrpro ceeding, and from beginning to eid, it is blackened by thc most disgraceftjl'de ception and villainy. What right had the last Pennsylva nia Legislature, e.Dcted on a pledge that " the question of suffrage belongs to the people of the States/- to vote for au Amendment depriving their constit uents of any authority over that vital question : and what right had tho bo gus Legislatures of down-trodden States, chosen by negroes, to ratify an Amend ment taking from the people of; Penn sylvania the power, if they choose to exercise it, of preventing; h?grb?^Tn dians and Chinese from ruling ovc^them and making their laws ? Such wrongs are so monstrous! that they stand out as perpetual irritants; tlicy are the abhorrence of resistors of covenants and lovers of constiti ion al order ; their injustice calls, incesant ly for correction, and no "peace" can be rationally hoped for until tlieyj are removed.-Pittsburgh (Pa) Post.
