GOVERNOR SCOTT AND "THE NEWS." The Great Calumniator's Version ol' the Abbeville Negro Enlistments. HIS EVASION AND THREATS. HE WRITHES UNDER THE LASH OF AN IN? DEPENDENT PRESS. The .ollowing correspondence is published in the Columbia Phceuixof yesterday. As thc matter to which it refers is one of public ira* portance, we place the letters in full before our readers : Letter from George W. Williams, Esq. CHARLESTON, April 3, 18G9. Governor-I seldom read the newspapers be? yond the commercial information they contain;' neither have I taken any part in politics since the defeat ol' Clay, in 1844, and I attach but little importance to what tho newspapers may say of you and your administration. I must confess, however, tbat tho editorial which ap? peared in to-day's NEWS fills my mind with tho gloomiest apprehensions, l" sincerely hope that the C?arleston editor is the victim of an April fool, tor I have too much confidence in your ?ood judgment ko believe that you would, ?t this season of the year, an 1 in time of per? fect peace, introduce an element in the State which would demoralize tho agricultural labor from the seaboard to the mountain top. You have lived long enough at the South. Governor, to learn something of tho negro character, and bow easily they are drawn from their daily pursuits by circus exhibitions and military parades. The formation of a fow negro regi? ments, at thia time, would not only have the most disastrous effects upon tho agricultural laborers (both white and black) of tho State, but would most unquestionably lead to a war of races. Tho merchants and factors of Charleston aro straining every nerve to aid the planters, and they have been gratified to learn that the ne? groes throughout the State were working with unusual energy, and were much better pleased with their prospects than at any time sinco the termination of the war. You I ave, Governor, seen enough of war to fully approciate tho value of peace. A few years of peace will restore thc old Palmetto State to her former prosperity; but a war of races will prove ruin? ous to the interests of both white aud black, and reduc? tbe State to anarchy and ruin. I trust, Governor, that you will telegraph me to contradict the statement made in THE DAILY Nsw*. You cannot well imagine tho deep feel? ing and apprehension of trouble tho article has excited among tho sober and well-disposed men of this community. I have the honor to remain your obedient servant, (Signed) GEO. W. WILLIAMS. To Governor R. K. Scott, Columbia, S. C. To this tho following reply was Iransmittcd by telegraph : COLUMBIA, April 4, 18G9. George W. Williams, Esq : Say to well disposed business men of Charleston that thoy should have aeon hereto? fore enough of such blooo and thunder fulmi? nations as the ons you forward me, clipped from THE NEWS, to" have justified thom in t re it in g tho authors wilb contempt, and the article w.th indifference. I will reply to you by mail. RODERT IL SCOTT, Governor. Letter from Governor Scott. STATE OF SOOTH CAROLINA, 1 EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, V COLDMBLV. April 5, 18G9. ) George W. Williams, Esq , Charleston : Mi DEAR Sm-Yours of tho 3d carno duly to I hand. The windy article in THE NEWS need < [rive you no apprehension. That Journal is I aomovhat of a sensationalist, audit ts of more < ;ou8cquence to its circulation that its leader < -hoi.kt be startling, than that it ahould be I :ru- ; and if a little personal malice can bc t rrntinod at the same time, a double purpose is < jerved. The article headed " Governor Scott '? Sowine; the Wiud" is of this character, and < sontains but a slight foundation in fact for its { nany falsehoods. 1 have givon no orders for i he ''immediate formation of a company of < legro State troops." No orders have been i issued fur the enrollment of tho militia, under 1 the recent act of the Legislature ; even the i Adjutant-Generals office has not yet been 1 opened, and before any organization of : the militia into companies or rogiments < can be attempted, an enrollment of all tho ' citizens ot the State, whito and col- | ored, subject to militia duty, must first be < completed ; which, in itself, will require i considerable time. I am led to believe, bow- I ever, from a letter r.-rce^tly received from Mr. 1 Guffin, of Abbeville. ' 'cot the Adjutant and In- ' Bpector-General, now absout from tho State, promised him the position of Enrolling Officer i of that county, when the enrollment is order- 1 ed. This may have given rise to ihe rumors i of enlistments and excitement in that neigh- 1 borhood, spoken of by THE NEWS, and of whicb I know nothing, except what I gather from its 1 fulminations. In reply to Mr. tiuffin, who is a 1 native of Aboeville, and as lespectable and < patriotic a gentleman as any tn the county, I 1 directed bim, if any of the colored people had I supposed that tboy were to be immediately en- i ro.leJ, to disabuse them of that notion; direct 1 them to return to their homos and laoors, and 1 remain there until tho enrollment is ordered, 1 when they will be duly notified. ' I think that my past course will bear mc out 1 tn the assertion that I have no disposition to ] resort to violent or ex-raordinary measures for I tho enforcement of thc la wu, while peaceful and ? cus tom ti i v agencies will accomplish the pur- ' po ie. The act of Soptembor 22, 1868, placod 1 extraordinary means at my disposal for the 1 suppression of rebellion or resistance to the 1 laws ; and although sinco its passage, for many i months outrage and murder were rife in sev- < erai counties of this State, during which men < as pure and as patriotic aa any within its bor- 1 bera were cuoily and deliberately butchered in. ? cold blood, in the broad glare of day, and in 1 the presence of numerous acquiescing ii' not : sympathizing spectator, and theil assassins ; for weeks afterwards permitted to roam about I unmolested, and in whose detection the county 1 officers manifested but little interest, I did I not resort to these extraordinary measures, 1 but relitd solely on the State constabulary. A number of the off nders having been arrested, < and disposition manifested to acquiesce in < the laws, I have gradually reduced even this < force, until it now numbers but three mern- ' ber?. Having heretofore, under very einbar- 1 rassing circumstances, declined to employ I uul'.'^ry force, at ths present time, when Ibo : turbulent seem to be comparatively quiet, and ? tho community appear to be wiaoly devoting iii err attention to their material interest-), : there is little likelihood that I shall resort tu I military agencies, or to any policy calculated ? to interfere with, or withdraw attoution from, i our industrial pursuits. In confirmation of 1 this, I may appeal to my efforts heretofore to i encourage and etimulato the agriculture of i tho btate; while others, wbo aro now my re- i vilers and calunniators, were inculcating a i contrary policy, in drivinsr off tho laborers from thc plantations who differed in politicb with I their employers. i I wish it "to be distinctly understood, hol i ever, that upon the arrival of the time when, i in my opinion, it is proper to cirrv out thc militia law oi thc last session,'by enrolling Ibe people ot the Stato, white aud colored, saibjcot { to military duty, I shall assuredly order it tu be flone, without reference to, QI apprehension of, tho war of races predicted by THE NEWS. Probably "the wish was fat her to the thought," md it can only be accomplished by tho loutish and incendiary articles of THE NEWS and its coadjutors. Their appeals to the prejudices aud passions ot' tho ignorant, the lazy and the fanatical, may load to the renewal of murders and outrages, requiring prompt and efficient measure* to un toree the Ians and punish thc wrong-doers. These, rf necessary, will bo re? sorted to, however reluctantly; and if evils do come, tho responsibility of the consequences must rest upon those who provoked th m. I have frequently received communications from prominent gentlemen, deprecating and denouncing outragos committed in their neighborhoods, but until these assurances aro developed iu something more positivo than mero words, they will cunduce but little to tho restoration and maintenance of law and order. Their active co-operation in arresting and* punishing those who, by their outrages, dis? turb the peace uf socictyand injuriously affect tho prosperity of thc community, would soon put an cud to disturbances that disgrace tho State, and reuder axesoit uuueceesarv, on un part, to the military or any other oxtraordi nary .-.trcncics for thc pr?servation of lbs peace Occuoying a position in socictv which give.* then'great mora! weight in Controlling ita action, it is tho imperative duty of thesj gentlemen to give a more active and decided co-operation in tho suppression of outrages which have affected the character of the State and all who bear her name. It is made my duty to see that tho laws be faithfully enforce 1; that tho citizen, white and colored, shall bo equally protected in his rights, civil and political; and this I will en? deavor to perform, and hope to have the co? operation of all law-abiding citizens in my efforts. But no silly affectation or assumption o: superiority by the privileged class, which only exists in the flunkeyism of Tms NEWS, ' of their right to rule the State which is ft? irs by inheritance, (fairsby natural right," ?ic., will be tolerated, and if attempted lo bo enforced, the editors may find that those citizeus whom they term "their own negroes," will have a word to say about their ownership. Of tho motivos of THE NEWS, in its repeated assaults upon mo, partaking so much ot per? sonal bitterness, it is unnecessary to speak, as the public are not interested in them. From the vebomenco of their language, and turgid appeals to thc "proud past" of South Carolina, (what do the editors know about it?) it might bo suspected thoro was an intention, if not expectation, on tho part of its editors, of stepping into the slippers of the Mercury; but oven-if successful, it v. oula only boarcpro luc tion of the ass in the lion's skin. No one would misrako its i>i?sonant bray for the roar of tho old lion, or any of bis brood. The edi? tors of that brilliant but fallacious journal, "native and to the manner born," were ac? knowledged gentlemen ; their strong language covered strong thoughts ; and, however ex? tremo or erroneous wore the ir views, they had the courage to stand up to them. The former supporters of the Mercury, aside from thc want of confidence, would hardly bo content to ac copt as a substitute for tho strong meat to which they were accustomed, tho milk and wa? ter of the "unstable NEWS, or rather the milk one day and tho water tho next, with an occa? sional dash ot acidity, when there is personal malevoletico to gratify. But it would be a wastoof time further to discuss TZE NEWS and its vapid pretensions. Tho arti ?Io to which you allude would have passed unheeded by me had not you cillod my attention to its falsehoods and misrepresenta? tions; and apprehending that other well-inten? tioned citizens might attach somo importance to them, I have dcemod it proper to mako my reply public. Whilo I sonsibly appreciate the increased difficulties to the restoration ot peace and prosperity occasioned by the reckless policy of THE NEWS and its coadjutors, I shall endeavor to discharge my duty, regardless aliko of their abuse, their threats or their ci joleries. I feel and appreciate tho sensitive? ness of our people te the innovations upon the ancient institutions of South Carolina, involving so muoh of feeling as well as of interest, which have been providentially suspended by the new order of things. lam not without liope.however, that tbey will gradually become reconciled to them, and tbat they will provo thc harbin? gers of a brighter and higher prosperity than bas ever before bcon attained. To expedite this, all my efforts will bo zealously directed. I have given to tho people of the State the best of hostages, the identification of my interests with theirs. Sneeringly donounced as a carpet? bagger, I may at least have the credit of hav? ing brought something in my carpet-bag, which is moro tban can be said of most of my revilers. Whatever injuriously aflocts the wclforo of thc State affects my own, aud it is tho dictate alike of duty and interest to pursue that policy that will thc soonest and thc surest develop her re? jo ui ces, increase her credit ?ind establish ber prosperity. Very respectfully and sincerely yours. ROBERT K. SCOTT. I? CHARMING WOMEN. i j [From the Saturday Review.] There are cortain women who arc invariably ?pokon of as charming. Wo never hear any ether epithet applied to thom. They are not ,' ?aid to bo pretty, nor amiable, nor clovor, j though, they may bo all throe, but simply L manning; which we may take as a kind of-vcr- c jal amalgam, tho concentration and concre- , ;ion of all praise. The main f?aturo about .'beso ? manning women is their intonso fcminalily. . Tlx re ia no blurring of tbo outlines hero: tin tonfusiou of qualities udmiraulo enough in | hemselves. but slightly ont of place consider- t ng the Bex; no Amazonian virtues which leave c >ne in doubt, as to whether wo have not b?forc c is a youth in petticoats rather than a sort and ? mender woman. A charming woman is woman B vii over-oue who places ber glory in being a -r woman, and has no desire to be anything else. ( iho is a worn in rather than a human being, r ?nd a Indy rath"? thau a woman. One of ber { characteristics is tho softnoss and exquisite \ ijraco of hor manner, which so sweetly repre- B scnts the tendor nature within. She has not f in angle anywhere. If she were to ho ex- j. pressed geom?trica Hy, Hogarth's Lino of Boau- a ty is tho Bole figure that could bo used for bor. v She ia flowing, graceful, bending m mind as in v body; Bhe is neither self-asserting nor aggres- y sive, neither rigid nor narrow; sho ia a crea- . ture who glides gracefully through life, and t adjusts herself to her company and her cir- t cumstunces in a manner little less tbaa mar- ? v?lions; working her own way without tumult . or sharpness, creeping round insuperable ob- v stades, and quietly wearing down more friable ,, apposition with that gentle persistency which [ iocs so much more than turmoil and distur- j. ?janee. Even if enthusiastic-which she is for c urt, cither as music, as paiuting, or os poetry- r she is enthusiastic in such a sweet und grace- ? ful way that no ono eau be offended by a fire c which alunes and does not bum. There is no ? touch of scorn about her, and no assumption -i of superior knowledge. Siio Bpoaks to you, c poor-ignorant Philistine, with the most fiat- c tcring conviction that you follow her in all her . (lights; and when she comes out, quite natu- , rally; with ber pretty little bits ot recondite . lore or professional technicalities, you cannot , be so boonah as to ask for an explanation of j thC60 everyday matters, which sho wakea so j sure you muse understand. Are you not un i educated person with a soul to Da saved, and j can you then bo ignorant of tilinga witb which c avery ono of culture ia familiar ? Sho dis- ? courses confiduiitialiy of musicians aud paint- ? tra unknown to fume, and speaks aa if she _ knew tho secret doings of tho Conseivatoire ind tho R. A. council-chamber alike. The 1 ? models and the methods, tbe loves and tho t hates, of the whole artistic world, aro to her Ihings of ovcryday lite, and you canuot toll her that she is shooting her delicate shafts tvido of the mark, and that you know no more ?f what she moana than if abo were talking in the choicest Arabic. If sho has beau abroad md sho generally has boeu more or loss-she i ?viii pour out her tender little rhapsodies about , palazzo, and villo of which you have never' beard, but every room of which abo assumes faa know by heart; and she will speak of the out-of-the-way churches, and grim old castles t perched upon vine-clad mouuts, aa if you were v is well acqpaintcd with them as with your na- ? tivo namlet; aud sho will bring into bur dis? course all manner of Italian technicalities, us " f you understood tho subject as well as abo ( herself understands it; though your learning ia limited to a kuowledge of how much was . Jone in jute and tallow, or how many pockets f of hops wont off m the market lust week. If , :ho has a liking for high fifo and titles-and ( what charming woman has not ?-abe will men- i lion tho names of all manner of counts and t lukes and monsignori unknown M English so- j doty, as though they were her brothers; but . if voil were to iutenupt tho gentle ripple of ? I.er speech with audi rudo breakwaters as ? "wiior1 and "what?" tho chaining woman would think you a horrid boru, und no m m ? would willingly lace that. Olio may be a rbi- t uuccioa in one's own haunts, but, aa thu fable j tells us, even rhinoceroses ave as!.urned of j their parentage wheu among gazelles. Never j sell-asserting, never contradictory, only sweet? ly and tenderly putting you right when you blunder, the charming woman nevertheless alwayo makes y ou feel her supartoi i ty. True, abe luys herself as it ware ut your tout, and gwea you a thousand dehcatc flatteries-in? deed, among her specialities is that of being ?tblotosct you on good terms with yourself, and uer att of subtle flattery; but despite her own self-abasement aud your exaltation you | J cannot but leel that she is your superior, and although abo is to J channing to acknowledge what would wound your pride, yet she fecla it, too, und tries to hide it. All which has the eliect of making you admiro her still moro for the erace and tact she haa displayed. The charming woman is generally notorious? ly in love with her husband, who ia almost al? ways inferior to her in birth, acquirements, manner, or appearance. This affection of bera onlv shows ber feminine qualities of sacrifi?e aud* wifely devotion to greater advantage, and makes other men envy more ferociously tho lucky fellow who bas drawn such a prize. Thu husband of a chai ming woman ia indeed lucity in tho world'a esteem ; no mau moie so. Though lie may bo one of the most ordinary, lurbaps unpleasant, fellows you know, with a aour face, su underbred air. and by no means famous in his special sphere, his wife speaks of bin enthusiastically as so good, so clever, so delightful; no one knows how good he is, she says, though of course he has his little peculiarities cf temper, and the ?est of it, and perhaps evory one would not bear with them as she does. But then she knows him, and knows bis wonderful worth and value ! If they are not s.jen much together, that comes from causes over which they have no control, not from anything like disinclination to each others society. Certainly, for so happy a marriage, it is a little surprising how vorv seldom they are together; and how all her friends are hers only and not his, and how much sho goes into society without bim. On the whole, counting hours, they livo very much moro opart than united ; but that is the misfortune cf his career, ol his health, or of hers-a misfortune due to any cause but that of diversitv of tastes and inharmoniousness of pur? suits. Foll of home affection and the tender? est sentiment aa she is, The charming woman does sometimes the oddest-looking things, which a rough little domestic creature without graceful pretensions wonld not dream of do? ing. Her child'is lying dangerously ill, perhaps dying, and she appears at the grand ballot' the season, subdued certainly-how well that swoet melancholy becomes her 1-but always grace? ful, always thoughtful for others, and attentive; and though indeed, she will tell you, she does not know how she got dressed at all, she is in such a state of cruel anxiety, yet she is undeni? ably tbe best dressed woman in thc room, and. tho most carefully appointed. It is against her own will that she is there, you may be eure, but ahe hia been forced to sacrifice herself, and tear herself away tor an hour. The exigencies of society are so morciless-tho world is such ? terribie Juggernaut, she eaye, raising hor ayes with plaintive cai nosiness to youra in the breathing times of the waltz. She has another trial if her husband is ordered out to Canada or tho West Indies. Dearly ap she loves him, md though abo is heartbroken at the idea of the separation, yet her health cannot stand the climate, and abe must obey her doctor's orders. Sho is so delicate, j ou know-all charming women are delicate-and the doctor leila her she could not live six months either In Toronto or Port Royal. If he had to go on iiplomatic service to St. Petersburg or Madrid, mo mignt be able to stand the climate then ; out that is different. ? dull station, without my of her favorite pleasures, would be moro :han Bbc could bear; BO abe remains behind, roos out greatly into society, and writes her iiuaband tender and amusing letters oncea non tb. Thc charming woman is the gentlest of her sex. She would not dd a cruel thing nor Bay in unkind word for the world. When she tells you tbe unpleasant things which ill-natur >d people have said of your friends or hers, she tolls them in the sweetest' and dearest way maginable. She is so sore thero is not a syllable of {truth in it all; and what a shame it s that people should bo so ill-natured I Tn the gentle tone of sympathy and deprecation jeculiar to ber, s io gives ton all tbe ugly and incomfortable ieports that have como to her, if which you have never heard a breath until bis moment; yet it ia you who arc stupid, for she tells them to you as if they were of patent notoriety to the whole world: only she docs not celieve them, remember 1 She takes the most jcrupulous c ire to deny and defend as sho re? tails, and you cannot class her with tbe tribe )f tho ill-natured whom she oeusurcs, setting, is she does, the whole strengt h of her gentle nords and generous disbelief to oppose these igly rumors. Yet you wish sbo had not told rou. Her disclaimers spring so evidently from tho affectionate amiability of her own mind, . vhi.;h cannot bear to think evil, that they have lot much effect upon you. Tho excuse dies iway from your memory, but tho ill-savored .oport roots, and you tool that you have lost ,-our respect for your former friends for ever; )r, if they wore only hers, that nothmg should erupt you to know them. Thero is no smoke vi th out some Aro, you think ; and the charm utr woman oacnot possibly have kindled tho lame herself out of 8ticKs,and lcavos and rub >ish of her own collectings But how sweet and ' ?hantable sho was when?she told you I how ouch you love her for her tenderness of na ure 1 what a guileless and delightful creature ho is I .mo cnanntng woman ls Rina arra gracerai, mt abc docs not command the stronger vir? aos. Sbo flatters sweetly, but, it must be onfessed, she fibs as sweetly. She sometimes >wns lo (bia. but only to li os that do more good hanharm--fibsinto which sho is forced for tho . ake of penco, and to avoid mischief, lt is a eminine privilege, she says; and men agree rith her. Truth at all times-bold, uncom iromising, stern-faced truth-is coarse and odelicato, sbo says; a misculino quality as iltlc fitted for woman as courage or great bodily U'ensth. Her husband knows that she ibs; her friends at times find her out too; : tut though the women throw it at hor aa an iccusation, the men accept it as a quality, rithout which she would be hess the charming ' vornan that sbo ii; ant) not only forgive it, out ike her tho better for the ?race and tact and , ?uppleuosa ehe displays in tho process of man ifacture. iiet s are not the severer virtues, but be gentler, tho more insinuating: and abso- ? ute truth-truth at any price ana on all occa- : lions-does not come into the hat. Charming vomen, with their plastic manners and non ?ggressive force, always have their own way io he end. They aro the women who influence >y unseen methods, and who shrink from any ?pen display of power. They know that their ' neinr ia to soothe men, lo put them on good crocs with themselves, and to get the benefit if tho good humor they induce; and they : Iread nothing so much aa a contest of wills. ? They coax aud flatter for their rights, and ?onsequently they are given privileges in ex- 1 :oss of thoir rights; whereas the women who i ake their rights, as things to which they aro , iutitled without favor, loso them and their privileges together. This art of self-abase nen t for future exaltation is on : which s givou only to few to carry to perfection, mc no woman is really charming without it. h fact it is part of her power; and abo ?nowa it. Thone h charming women aro de idedly the favorites with men, they aro carc? hi to keep on good forms with their own icx; and in society you may ofton ace them ilmost ostentatiously surrounded by women inly, whom they take, pains to please, or ixert themselves to amuse, but whom thoy brow into thc shade in the most aatonish ng way. Whatever those really charming wo neu are, or do, or wear, ia exactly tho igbt thing; and every other woman fails n proportion to the distanco she ia remov? al fro u this model. If a charming woman 8 dressed richly, thc simpler costumes o icr friends look* poor and moan; if sho is i la berg?re, the court dresses about her aro migar; if sbo is gay, quietness is dullness; if ho ia quiet, laughter ia coarse. And thore is io uae in imitating her. She is the very Will* i'-tho-Wisp of her circle, and no sooner shows icr light here than sho flits awav thore; she ias no sooner sot one fashion, which her ad niring friends have adopted with infinite pains md trouble, t.ian she has struck out a new me, which renders all tho previous labor in rain. This is a part of hor very caaonee; and ho originality which ia aitnply perfection that minot ho repeated, and not eccentricity that io one will imitate, comos in as one o' tho lin ist and most potent of her charms.

Bailey. -Hen- Foi mes, who used to bo renowned for thc grca'. power :>nd depth of his bass k'uicc, and who aftpr thc death of Lablacbc claimed for awhile thc groat place vacated by Ibo latter, has, it is well known, been compell? ed of lato years to gi VJ up singing. His voice becamo .'untutiable and harsh," and in con? certed music absolutely intolerable. There? fore he determined lately to toko lo the stago, merely as an actor, ont lie fait h of tho dramatic ability which he used to dis.jlay as Caspar in "Dor' Freisch?tz*' and m other parta. He made a <h bul with success in Germany, and was about to visit thc United States, but tho advice ot some well qtnlitiod Iriends-Charles Fechter among the number-baa induced him to give up the idea. PERSONAL. -George Sand was recently offered the man? aging editorship of a new Paris daily, at a very large salary. She declined, saying she needed repose. -All tho European Crown Princes, in accord? ance with an ancient custom, are taught a trade. Tho Prince of Asturias is now learning that of a watchmaker. -Hansamann, the "rebnilder of Paris," has collected nearly one thousand snuff-boxes, many of them historically valuable. The col? lection is worth $30,000 gold. -Henry Bier has boen dispensed from the continuance of his present fate of selling lager ceer in Chicago by drawing a prize of $25,000 in gold from tho Havana lottery. -There is an organ-grinder at Novara who recently returned from the United States with $20,000 in gold, an amount he had collected in tho streets during tho last ten or twelve years. -Carl Benson thinks the "coming man" ought to weigh one hundred and fifty-five pounds. Professor Peaslee, on tho other hand, thinks the perfect physiological man will weigh one hundred and forty pounds. -Tho Duke of Argyll, Secretary for the In? dian Department in the British Cabinet, recog? nizing that there is no opening for young men in tho civil service, is said to have placed his youngest son iu a commercial bouse in London in the tea trade. -Professor Scott, of tho New York Medical University, holds that all diseases are pro? duced by mini te animal or vegetab ie germs entering the circulation through the mouth. Ho asserts that it is only necessary to shut tbe mouth to pass unharmed through tho deadliest miasma or epidemic. Tho Professor does not attempt to explain wby his theory has not ex? terminated the fair sex long before this. -Queen Isabella, who, upon her arrival in Paris, seemed to care very little for Ihe French theatres, has now become a passionate play? goer. It costs ber nothing to gratify that pas? sion. Most of the Spanish a bsolutists now liv? ing at Paris have boxes at one or moro of the theatres; and wbon Queen Isabella wants to go to one of them abe writes to*tho box-holder as follows: "I, the Queen, command yon to let me have your box fo. to-night. I shall be pleased to reserve two seats in it for you and your wife.1 -Edmund Kean waa in the habit of saying that "there was no such thing as impulsive acting," but in practice he frequently proved exactly the contrary. He studied his charac? ters with tho greatest anxiety and care; but ho frequently rejected tho premeditated couroe, and played in a m inner tba" even his wife, botcrc whom he constantly rehearsed, had not the least conception of. When asked his reason for BO doing, he replied, "I felt that what I did was right. Before I woe only re? hearsing." -Louisa Mub Ibach writes evory day onough to fill a whole printed sheet. She begins at eight in tho morning aud steps ut Tour rn the afternoon. In tho ovoning sho receives her literary friends in her sumptuously-furnished salon, or attends a performance at the theatre, whore her good-looking and talented daugh? ter Theodora is playing. Doapite tho large copyrights which tho authoress of " Joseph tho Second" and "Louisa of Russia" has received for her works, sho has not saved any money, and is still writing for hor daily breaa. -At the opera at Paris tho othor night, her ex-Majoaty of Spain waa among tho company. On ber way down stairs she parsed a certain duchess who is without an equal-for inso? lence. "Voyez-vousca," MadamoBaid, in per? fectly audible tones to her cavalier, and point? ing unmistakably with her fan,-"Qu'est-oe que c'est que ca, savez-vous ?" The other had tho grace to-say nothing. A bystander, who knew his monde, was not so patient; ho made answer, "C'estIo grandpere do ca, Madame, qui voua a fait duchesse." It hit home, this. Madame, says the story, bas bean speechless over since. -Lord Brougham died without any assets, having, long before his death, by deed of gift made over evorything-ex-Chaooellor'a pension, bouse and land, books, plate, furniture-to bis brother William, the present peer, who in return provided for ?Lil expenses. Aversion to trouble about money matters is said to have suggested this arrangement. The Inland Revenue author? ities, at first incredulous, satisfied themselves by private inquiry as to the bona fides and val? idity of the deed of gift. It is a curious fact that an ex-Lord Uhancallnr, who for upwards of thirty years received a pension of ?5,000 a year, died without paying a shilling of probate or legacy duty. -A Northern paper says: "ItiB said that Mrs. Charles Sumner, formerly the widow Hooper, and now grazing somewhere in the Alps os the widow of the senator from Mas - Bachusetts, has sent a handsome cash present across tho water to the relict of the late Pres? ton S. Brooks. Mrs. Sumner declares that Brooks deserved the thanks of tho public for having drubbed her oonsort, and that dining her brief stay with him as her matrimonial partner, she was only prevented from repeat? ing tho famous scene in the Senate by Churlos' abject cowardice. Tho two widows Airs. B. and Mrs. S.-correspond regularly. In the meantime Charles, in his lonely bachelor's attic in Washington, ia annotating his famous Bpoech ou the 'Barhariam of Slavory,' with rc miniacencea of bia wedded wook with widow Hooper." -"Ibo Empresa Elizaboth of Austria," writes the Peath correspondent of tho Paris Magaztuo. "is nearly thirty ycara old, and, dc spite tho maiiy aorrowa which have fallen to her slit rc in thc course of her evonlful life, she is still 3B roay, pretty aud bewitching as a young girl. She is a very happy mother, and, if the gossips aro rigut, now again a very happy wife. How any husband, for a moment even, could think of being faithless to such a charming creature, is more than your corres? pondent is able to understand.'' This allusion refers to thc love affaira by which Frauds Joseph several years ago nearly broke bia young Empresa' heart. Tho raiatreases on whom the Emperor, at timi time, bestowod his nffection3, were mostly women of very little boauty. Tho must notorious of them ivasKato Renlz, a circua gui, whom tho Emperor after? ward bad a gloat deal of difficulty in shaking oil'. It is said that to keep hor mouth shut, he even now pays her a largo ponaion. J.T ll U K P H lt E Y S , BROKER, AUCTIONEER AND COMMIS? SION MERCHANT.
