MAXIMILIAN.-A despatch to the Baltimore Sun'sajs: Minister Romero to-day received the following letter, by way of New Orleans, dated Vera?,Cruz, October 26, 1866: Maximilian left the city of Mexico on the 23d instant, resigning verbally in favor of Gen. Bazaine. Gen. Ba? zaine endeavored to persude him to delay his departure until Gen. Cas teluau's arrival, two days later, but he declined, and, escorted by 800 Austrians, proceeded to Orizava by cross roads, to avoid meeting Gen. Castelnau. He reached Orizava yes? terday, and is expected here to-mor? row. The captain of tho Austrian fri grate Dandoto states that as soon as Maximilian arrives, he will at once leave for Europe, lt is said that Maxi? milian will publish to-day a manifesto at Orizava. Gen. Castlenau reached the city of Mexico soon after Maxi? milian left, and took possession of the palace, and assumed the reins of Government. The French soldiers who had entered under Maximilian's colors will be returned to France under Gen. Castelnau's influence. Gen. Parfinio Diaz has captured the city of Oaxaca, taking all the artillery, ammunition, men and supplies." [Tho National Intelligencer says it has reason to belie re the above to be authentic] Ax ITEM OF INTEREST.-The num? ber of languages spoken in the world is 164. The number of men is equal to the number of women. The ave? rage of human life is 32 years. One quarter die before tho age of seven. To every 1,000 perseus, one rarely reaches the age of 100, and not more than one in 500 will reach the age of 80. There are on tho earth 1,000, 000,000 persons. Of these about 93,333,333 die every year. 91,824 die every day, 7,789 every hour, and 70 every minute. The losses are bal? anced by an equal number of births. The married are longer lived than the single. Tall men livo longer than short ones. Women have more of life previous to the age of fifty years, but fewer after than men. The num? ber of marriages is in proportion of 60 to 100. Marriages aro more fre? quent after the equinoxes than during the months of Juno or December. Those born in the spring are more ro? bust than others. Births and deaths' are more frequent by night than by . day._ The experiment of electiug white men to office having proved a com? plete failure in Boston, the Puritans have determined to better their con? dition by electing a negro, and have nominated a black man for the Legis? lature of Massachusetts. As there is no possibility of their being worsted by tho change of color, we expect they will soon run Sumner out of the Senate with a full-blooded cuffee. This would bo giving to that indi? vidual a practical turn which he would greatly admire. New York dances away $6,000,000 in a season. BUSILY ENGAGED* ! [CONCLUDED.] A few minutes Liter, I finished the letter to my uncle. It was not difficult. I carefully erased "Mattie,"* and anbstituted "?thel." I had little difficulty with the worthy squire. So long as he secured me (he was pleased to say) for one of his dear girls, he was comparatively indifferent which-and I saw that Mr. Lowry's suit was gained. All now seemed smooth and happy. My iuteuded father-in-law was yet expatiatiug on the peculiar fitness of choice I had eventually made, when his wife entered the room hastily, with a letter in her hand. "Mr. Crowdie-Philip!-I must speak to you directly." . I made a movement to withdraw. "I beg your pardon, Mr. Purkiss; I did not see you. Pray remain," said the lady; "this concerns you." "Upon my word, this is most singular!" ejaculated -Mr. Crowdie, after glancing over the epistle. . 'It would hardly be believed! Purkins, I scarcely know how to" tell you. Spifflicate me! Mrs. Mompesson, whom we never contradict, writes mc here, in confidence, that, seeing ? young stranger?(yoursclf. Dick,) here, and not knowing what his intention! might be, she had stopped, on th road, to send rae this intimation, tha she had promised Jier influence witl me in reference to Ethel-who is he great favorite-on behalf of Si Edward Tottenham, who has heel eagerly desiring to improve the' ac quaintance he made with her at .th county? ball. Now, my dear Dick, t offend Mr?. Mompesson is-" "Just so, my deat sir. It must nc be. To say the truth, until you fairl presented one of your fair daughter to mc at the altar, I should not rogar my happiness as seciu-ed." "Oh, Dick, this must not end so! said the squire, with genuine regrc "and feeling. "After all, there Leonora. " "The eighth attempt, sir, may b more prosperous," I replied, rathe bitterly; "let it be so. Do with rr. as you please. My affections ha\ been so perpetually nipped, that don't think they ought to bo expec ed to bud again without some a surance that they will be allowed 1 blow." "Come, that is but fair," said tl squire. "Hark ye, Dick. My Le nora has no will, no fancy, excej what is mine. Will you take that a surance? She is a dear, good gil and, though she is at this mome: out for a walk, you may-yes, I a sure you may-consider yourself e gaged." I bowed, and remembered, wi some satisfaction, that my letter my uncle was not yet gone. Of tl fair Leonora I knew little-had neve in point of fact, addressed a sinp observation to that young lady. 13 I felt sure that I should like her. had remarked the beautiful acquh cent disposition of these young pc pie. Moreover, the selection had ? sumed that character which has i mortalized the late Mr. Hobson Leonora, or nothing. We shook han (as before,) and, subject to the you lady's approval, the matter was i ranged. Mr. Crowdie was still speakii when Alice, the invalid, was wheel into the room. Her father's vo and.manner always, I had notic< underwent a softening change in t presence of this his favorito chi Kissing her tenderly, he intimated her the connection I was about form with the family, and th leaving us together, humed av with his wife to meet Leonora, glanced at my companion. Tho pi and spiritual beauty of her face i marred by an expression of pain. "I fear yon are suffering," I ss "In mind, yes," said Alice, "1 not in body. I am, in realit; Heaven bo praised for it-mi better." "Indeed. Believe mo, I rejoice hear that there is a posssib-" "I see,u replied Alice, with angelic smile, "that you partake impression that has gone abroa that I am deformed. It is not Patience and a change of climate all-so says my doctor-that I n to regain a certain, if not roi health. But it is not of this I v to speak," she added, hastily. " Mr. Purkiss, what are you about do? Is tho human heart a toy, tc passed from band to band-g? re-taken, crushed perhaps at la without one compassionate sen for tho treasures of true and abie love that might have flourished tin I have seen all that has passed, bave a kind, easy-perhaps ceptible nature. The deference girls have been accustomed to pa our parents' wishes, and our fond tachmcnt to each other, have operated with this, and led to rc of what has occurred. You 1 scarcely seen Leonora, never spc to her. In spito of a cold temr. ment, she is a good, sweet girl, you may doubtless win her; but t so in a manner that would satis generous, kindly nature, will req more time, and a far more del: procedure than you seem to cons needful." "I accept tho censure," sai feeling rather ashamed. "I hav< to say, in -extenuation, that, ha lived up to this advanced perio my life perfectly fancy free-a which somewhat negatives my ceptibility'-I found myself rounded by so many ?harms at < that my judgment became bewi ed, and proved unequal to tlie situa? tion. Now, I seo clearly. Ah, that I had had such a monitor before. "Nay, it is not to\> late," she Riegan, eagerly. ."Iknow it is not too late; for Leo? nora, I recall my absurd pretensions. They would bo little short of insult. But, oh, in opening my eyes, you have shown me too much for my own peace." "What do you mean?" "Had I known you sooner, your wisdom, your sweetness-oh, if even now---" "Hush! Mr. Purkiss. You are mad." "I have been mad hitherto, but now I am sane-and wretched. See -I am going to leave you; for how can I plead? Why should you believe me? Yet, Alice, I love you-you only. I may never deserve you, sweet angel; but no one elso shall ever be my wife. Farewell; and when you hear that I have made another choice, despise-forget me!" * "Mr DEAR DICK: Aro you en? gaged? Yours impatiently, "RICHARD PURKISS." ' 'MY DEAR UNCLE: : Busily engaged ; I have been affianced to eight of your fair friends, and have .now to seek your blessing en my union with the beloved ninth! Your dutiful nephew, "DICK." The marriage-feast passed off ad? mirably. I was not alone in my glory. Sir Hugh Sagramore and Mr. Lowry found brides the same day. Adelaide and tho rest were brides? maids. A diamond bracelet, thirteen laced pocket-handkerchiefs, two fans and a silver spoon were mysteriously missed, and as mysteriously restored, at night, to their owners. My sweet wife and I returned to England lasfweek. ' Dear Alice is in perfect health, and little Master Dick is to be christened on Tuesday. We invite you all. An Irishman, from Battle Creek, Michigan, was at Bull Run battle, and was somewhat startled when the head of his companion on his left hand was knocked off by a cannon hall. A few moments after, however, a spent ball broke the fingers of his comrade on the other side. Thc latter threw down his gun and yelled with pain, when the irishman rushed up to him exclaiming, "Blasht yer sowl, ye owld woman4 shtop crying; ye make more noise about it than the man that losht his head." SECURE VAULTS.-The vaults of the Bank of France, which contain more treasure than any other single spot on the face of the globe, are accessi? ble through an iron d^r, which has three keys, and these Keys are kept by three leading officers. The iron stair-case which leads to tho vault can bo detached, and, by a chemical ap? paratus, a supply of deadly gas can be made to permeate every part, de? stroying human life in a few seconds, while the whole vault can be sub? merged in ten minutes. A lady of sound judgment says, in in the last Blackwooct's Magazine, in reply -"to Mr. Mill's proposed plan for woman suffrage, that "all our powers are necessary for our own in? dividual work, and we must decliue to seek another place, until it is proved to us that Ave are not honora? bly employed, aud of sufficient use and service to our fellow-creatures in tho condition of life in which God has placed us." How's] that, gent?o Annie? Despatches from Rio Janeiro, dated October 10, state that another battle took place at Fort Curapaity, on the 22d of September. The allies at? tempted, with the aid of their gun? boats, to storm the fort, but were compelled to retire, after having sus? tained a loss of 5,000 men and having several gun-boats disabled. General Flores had returned to Montevideo with tho rest of the Oriental army. According to reports made by the Chicago builders, over 8,000 new buildings have been erected in that city during the past year, valued at nearly $7,000,000. This includes eight new churches, five public school-houses, three public buildings, and over 100 business blocks. Tho resting-places of the Union soldiers who died during the war, are to be marked hereafter with cast-iron head-blocks, instead of the wooden ones, as at present in tho various national cemeteries. The name, num? ber, &c, of each soldier aro to be cast in raised letters. "LEOISLATIVE ELECTION.-F. ' D. Richardson, Esq., a member of the Legislature from Charleston, having accepted a disqualifying office, an election to fill tho vacancy has been ordered to take place on'Wednesday next, the 14th instant. Some of the back scenes of ballet and operatic life are being unveiled by the courts of New York. The ballet-master says regular inspections are made of feet and limbs, and now and then rudeness and drunkenness are discovered behind the scenes. . In Paris, there are bureaux in which a regular manufactory of leading arti? cles is established, whence these pro? ductions, carefully lithographed, are despatched to numbers of provincial papers. Massachusetts emerged from tho smoke and lust of the contest on Tuesday, covered with glory. She elected two negroes to the Legisla? ture and sent Butler to Congress. Tea kettles are decidedly Yankee in their melody; they Bing through their noses.' Thc Puris correspondent of the New York Sun says that grounds around the great exhibition building ' are being laid out in walks and drives bordered with trees which cost forty dollars each. Tho extent of the ave? nues, alleys and garden walks, inside and out of the building, is to bej something fabulous, and will, at the lowest estimate, exceed thirty miles. The Boston Herald tells an' amus? ing story about a policeman weighing 200 pounds, who attempted to follow a supposed burglar over a cemetery fence, and, making a mis-step,'be? came suspended by the seat of his unmentionables to the iron pickets. He was soon rescued by the officers who were in company with him. Some people would be astonished to learn that thephrase, escaping "by the skin of one'steeth," is from thc Bible. It occurs in Job, chapter 10, verse 20, and the correct reading is: "My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.'J Texas has exported, within a short time, a million dollars worth of cat? tle. Beef and cotton are struggling for the supremacy'1 in Texas. The money brought into thc State by the sale of cattlo is immense, and in creasing, too. The wat drain of four' years-had but little effect. The Montgomery Mad estimates that the census returns of Montgo? mery County, now in process of com-" pletion, will show a population ex? ceeding 10,000, or nearly dojible what it was before the war. The Mail puts the population of the city itself at 12,000. ENTERPRISE.-A man who lodged in the fifth story of a hotel in New York clambered out of his window, an'd with no other support than the narrow stone coping of thc wall, managed to enter six sleeping rooms, and rob the occupants. It is reported in some of the North? ern papers that an old gentleman who died receutlv in North Can.lina left 17,000 acres of land in that State to Head Centre Stephens, ns a con? tribution to the cause of Irish inde? pendence. The Paris kulics have found out a way of dyeing dresses without rip? ping them to pieces. And for a few francs, thc dca ri creatures appear in any tint desired, looking as fresh as if just from the hands of the modiste. A St. Louis special to the New Or? leans Times says: "Trouble is feared among the politicians in Callow/iy County, Missouri. Blair is continu? ing the war against radicalism in that State. The ladies of the Memorial Asso? ciation of Spotsylvania Court House have commenced the work of re-in? terring the Confederate dead in their beautiful cemetery grounds. Mr. E. Mitchel], who for a number of years has been Grand Secretary of. the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of this State, died suddenly in Darling? ton on the 7th. A white stevedore, named Nicholas Woods, was struck by a heavy box, in the breast, and killen, on board a vessel iu Charleston, on Thursday.
