Tlie Prince and the Actress. *_-r [Fruin^the Court Jourual.J The announcement of the Imperial /amilv of Austria of tho marriage Of Duke Louis of Bavaria with the beautiful Mlle. Mendel the actress, of Augsburg, has given a new aim to the theatrical . ambitio'n^of tim ladies of tho Paris boards. The visfw made by the Em press^ElizabetLjto tte beautiful ?castle of Lake^tahnberg, where the*n#wly-' married couple, r?sideras" become the ' talk of every /yy .r ti'carlisles in Europe. They say in lim co tt/i iocs here that Her Austrian Majesty was the great promo ter of the marriage, the story connected with her brother's love ancV'courtship being romantic enough to e.vite 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 lover*. Mlle. Mendel, who had preserved her reputation unsullied 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-golden hair in soft . sjlky masses, without the smallest tinge of auburn-pure gold-untarnished ; a complexion delicate as the inner pe tals of the Bengal rose-pale pink, scarcely ever seen in nature, and almost i inpossible to produce by artificial means ; lips of the deepest carnation ; teeth small and exquisitely white, and eye brows of tlve darkest brown, with eyes of the deepest blue. . All this mad. .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 ;pne idol. But Mlle. Mendel was valiant in de fence of her reputation, and aware of the responsibility incurred by the pos session of groat talent, she resisted (.very overture, even that of marriage, ou tlie part of the Duke, well knowing that it was out of his power to contract any alliance of the kind, 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 namented by a singie pearl of great value, which had been presonted-to hel by the King, of Saxony, and in order to quell all hope of success in thc bosom of 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 but 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 .-niall cottage belonging to his brother's i-rk ?i'jat very night, when about to place tke velvet band upon her neck, she foi^c1. to her great surprise, that a sec ond ?*?arl had been added to the clasp. She kne-? wen enough i-1- 't came, and^m^d ^dU^^^ or labor /yii ure that Duke Louis was in ^c firring ?r love's sake. By tt9g-.??6s the velvet band became covered with pearls, all bf them as fine as tlie ote nestwowed by the King of Saxony, un^il one evening great was the rumor in Augsburg. Th 3 fair Men del had been robbed; while on the stage, divested of all ornament, in the prison scene as ''Bettina von Armstedt," iier dr' =iug-iooia had been enterefl, and the yeJyet collar, with its row of priceless pearls had disappeared from the toilet-tabie. The event was'so ter rible, her nerves so shaken, that in spite ?-^--t-he assurance of the chief Police Magistrate, who happened to be in tlie theatre at the moment, that lie Avas .sure to ?find tie thief in a very short ?time, for he hat the clue airead}', poor Mlle. Mendelr!}vas so overcome with grief that her memory failed her en tirely, so that OL returning tb tho stage not a word could she . remember of h^r part. The. audience waited for some finie in astonishment at the silence ;aaibt.uined by tie actress; the actress ga'/.ed i*" ihfi aud.ence in pi tooti J embar rassment, until, by a sudden inspiration, .and almost mechanically induce], she remembered that she had'th? rehearsal copy of the play uri the pocket of lier api'.i n. She drew it forth without hesi ? ii iou, v;;d began to read. from it with the greatestsc)f-possession imaginable. At first the au^ecob knew not whether tc laugh or be angry, brui presently memory, pathos, forgetfulness of all lui ker art had returned to Mlle. Mendel, and in ?the utterance of one of the most impassioned sentiments of her speech idie flung the rehearsal copy luto tin? .orchestra, and went on with her part without pause or hesitation. The ap planse of the audience was so tremen dous that one of the witnesses to the scene has tobi us that-the great monster chandelier in the centre of the iwof. ?wung to and fro with the vibration ?But,CY? her return to her dressing-room the excitement* proved too much, ?nd she fainted away. On coming back to consciousness it was to fine] Duke Louis f! her feet, and the head Commissaire adding by her side, bidding her take aga. for the pearls- bael been found. \ybere are they?'' exclaimed slie. fi Ar6| }'ou sur0 that none are missing ? #aye.yone been stolen? Puke Louis then clasped round h.er neck thc string of pearls, complete at last, no longer .sewed on to the velvet"band,' but strung with symmetry and fastened with a dia mond' clasp. What more could be done by the devoted lover ? He had sp.ared neither pains nor sacrifice to attain his and, ana Mlle. Mendel consented to be f?me hp?' wife. The Empress of Aus tria appeals to have been much moved by the story, an.d suggested the nomina tion of the--'bride ?(jet to the title of Baroness de Wallersee,. which thus equalized the rank of the fiances, end enabled them to marry without diiScui^ ty. They li^fBhe most retired life pos- ' sible *m*the"rhttle chateau on Lake Stahnberg, where the Duchess Louis of Bavaria n jver puts off, night or day, the necklace of pearls, the clasp of which she" b*a had riveted on her neck?] and that in consequence of this pecu - liarity she- is -known d\ through the eountayro?nd by the name of the Fairy Perlina, from the old German tale of the Magic Pearl. l Commodore Vanderbilt wag mar ried yesterday morning at London, Canada, to Miss Frank Crawford, daugh ter of ^Robert L. Crawford, of Mobile, Ala From the AAJKI /; Sm. Mr?. Siowc'&Aiistrosstyt r^^^sDER OMTHE DEAD. Lord Byron, thc poet, was born in 1788. Hedied in -forty-five years igo. In 1815 he. was married to Miss. Milbanke, from whom" he separated for-' ?ver about one year after their mar-? riage. She died in 18G0-nine years ago.'; Their daughter, and only child, cliedl several years earlier, but she left chil-* drei), who are still firing, Forty-live 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 an important and interesting secret to d?sol?se : that the cause oT^esfrangeinent lind separa tion between Lord and Lady Byron was un adulterous, incestuous intercourse between Lord Byron and his own sis ter ! This fact Mrs. Stowe says was communicated to her by Ladv Byron inlSoG. . Two questions arise in the mind of the reader of this horrible announce ment : first, Is it true? 'and second, Cid bono ?-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. We'wiri cred it her assertion that Lady Byron made it to hoi-. According to Wr. own ac count, Lady Byron was very ill at the lime-so ill that she was expected to .lie soon. If she was so ill, she proba bly*was talcing medicines. Was she or was she not under the 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 this-subject, even if sane on all others. By what evidence was the foul charge of Lady Byron supported ? So far as we can judge by Mrs. Stowe's article, not by one tittle. And the .public are asked to believe this terrible accusation on tin 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. 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, by 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 the laws of human na ture-so, strong as to be 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 haw thought of Lady Byron here tofore, no one hereafter can blame a hus band for baying a wife who hated him bitterly enough to invent this story, about him after he had been de?d 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 incestu ous husband. To one who asked her how she could love him, she replied, .' My dear, there was the angel in him." A pretty place, we should think, ac cording to her own story, for an 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-Byro n's sister, we 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 ss ne, a moral monster. whose Name Mrs Stowe has benefit ed we are uuablo to per?oive. Uoiioinr ly not Lady Byron's ; for sha had her admirer.-* 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 tau- before, but will hereaf fc>r bc associated with one QI thc most outrageous and vilest of all tho prurient stories ever invented.

Von Helmont tells us that Adam was Teated without a beard, but that after ie had fallen and sinned, because of the iinful propensities which he derived rom the fruit of the forbidden tree a ' )eard was made part of his punishment md disgrace, bringing him thus into rearer resemblance with the ?beasts to ward whom, he made his nature approx inate.

" Ain't you going to kiss ?" was agai inquired. "?Sar!" repeated the astonished dal key, evidently mistaking thc mcahiri of the Court, and surprised bcyon measure at such an invitation, "Kiss, I tell you !" thundered th judge. * . "Yes, sar! ves, sar!" exclaimed th frightened anet trembling darkey, nen ing himself for the contemplated cir brace, and without morcado the lon wins of thc son of Ham were throw around che judicial Reek, and before h could be prevented a stentorian since resounded through the court-room. '" Quit, you beast-help! help!" shoute jije magistrate. But the darkey enjoye the luxury, and/tho embrace Was rt newed with unction. "Take him oil'! Take him off!"'n-jo the Court, while the loud r-houts ol'- th spectators testified their appreciation c the fun.

That I should bc lugged by a nigger!'.' and the judge igain. poured forth his vituperations. int the offending darcey was .at last oclccd up, and the Court settled "dawn o its habitual order and quiet. . Unexampled PcrfitFy. In the Republican platform, adopted it Chicagb in 1SC8, it is stipulated that 'Tho question of .suffrage in-all ihe [oyal states properly belongs to the peo ple of those States." This was one of the cardinal, principles on which Gen. Grant was elected, and the lease of power to the Republican puffy 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 to 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 ces sion after the election, deprives thc Stale.-1 nf all authority_on the qu>tf&n pl suffrage, and throws? open flic TMfot box, eve y where, to the votes of all the races of mankind. Had ljot thc pledge boen given, and had the secret purpose to ia kc from the people of tho States.(his vital right been known, the Republican party .would have been dc-. ?Teated. They owe their success topor fidy, aggravated by the frauds, violence and injustice with which they are striv ing to carry.itinto execution. Congress.-not satisfied with the pal pable violation of the covenant with the people, in proposing the Amendment in the usual manner have annexai! a compulsory provision, applicable to ?Vir ginia, Mississippi and Texas, by which these States are to bc excluded from the Union until they ratify it. Party machinery has been callee 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, In a manner and'by means contrary to the majority principle, and subversive of the spirit of the constitution. Legislatures have gone through with tho form of ra'irving, which were elec ted in the campaign of 1S6S, starking with their party upon, the Chicago pledge : other Legislatures, in .Sates ruled by tho bayonet, where jta in elli gent citizens were outlawecD Ava also mocked thc forms of ratification . P Take in the whole history of thiipro cceding, and from beginning to eiu, it is blackened by the most disgraceft 1'de ception and villainy. What right had the last Pennsylva nia Legislature, elected 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 tko bo gus Legislatures of down-trodden Sta tes, 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 n?^oet^Tn dians and Chinese from ruling oveithem and making their laws ?
