Ronantic Story of an Actress,
Miss Logtm gives instances of many
actresses who have captivated rich aipl
titled suitorg bv their beauty and clev
erness. 4mong the stpries th^t §he
quotes on this point, the most interest
ing is that of Miss Ment|pl, a German
actress. We givp the romantic history
as we fjnd |t related in her book :
“It is said that she was the most love
ly' woman in Germany, her beauty be-
ingpf the true German type, of the
peculiar fairness beheld in no oth.r
country—golden hair, in soft, silky
masses, without the smallest tinge of
auburn—pure gold,— unburnished ; a
complexion scarcely ever seen in nature
and almost impossib e to produce by
artificial means; lips of deep carnation;
teeth small and exquisitely, white, and
eyebrows of the ddrkest brown, with
eyes of the deepest hue. AH this made
sucli ah impression on the heart of thc
Duke of Bavaria, that from the mo
ment he first beheld her at the Muuich
Theatre lie vowed himself to the wor
ship of this one idol. But Mademoi
selle Mendel was valiant in defence of
her reputation, and resisted every over
ture, even that of marriage, on thc
part of the Duke, well knowing that
it was almost out of his power to con
tract any alliance of the kind, as much
was expected of him by his family. At
that time Mile. Mendel was in the hab
it of wearing a velvet collar, with a
clasp ornamented by a single pearl of
great value, which had been presented
to her by the King of Saxony, and in
(Oder to queil all hope of success in the
bosom ot her ducal admirer, she de-
ciaied to him one day that she hail
made a vow to bestow her heart and
hand on him alone w..o could match this
single peai 1 with as many others as
would form the whole necklace,
The declaration was made laqgl^ing
ly, f 'r the iair creature knew wtili
enough that thc Duke, living fully up
to his income, could never accomplish
this herculean task. Boon afterward
she lieaid hit the D^ke had soli h s
horses, broke up his establishment, ami
gone to live in strict retirement in a
small cottage belonging to his brother's
park. That very night when about to
place the velvet band uppn her neck,
she found, to her great surprise, that
the second pearl had been added to the
ulasp. ' fc'be knew well enough tvlicnci-
it came, ami smiled sadly at the loss ol
labor she fell sure that Duke Louis was
incurring for love’s sake. By degrees
the velvet hand became covered with
pearls, all of them as fine as the one
bestowed by the King of Saxony, until
one evening great was the rumor in
Augsburg, the fair Mendel had been
robbed ; while on the stage divested of
ornament, in the prison scene, as Bet
tina von Armstedc, her dressing room
had been entered, and the velvet'coljar,
with its row of priceless pearls, had
disappeared from the toilet table. The
event was so terrible, her nerves so
shaken, that in spite of the assurance
of the chief of police magistrate, who
happened to be in the theatre at the
moment,' tliat he was sure to find the
thief in a very short time, for he had
the clue already, poor Mile. Mendel
was c o overcome by gritfRiat her mem
ory failed her entirely, so that on re
turning t) die stage not a -vord could
she reui-euiher of her part. The audi
ence waited for some time in astonish
ment at the silence maintained’ by the
actress, who gaied at the audience in-
piteous embarrassment until by a sud
den inspiration and almost mechanical
ly, indeed, she remembered she had the
rehearsal copy of the play in the pock
et of her apron. She drew it forth
without hesitation, and began to read
from it. At first the audience knew
not whether to laugh or be angry, but
presently memory, pathos, forgetful
ness of all but her art had returned to
Mile Mendel, ami in the utterance of
one of the most impassioned sentiments
of her speech, she flung the rehersal
copy into the orchestra, and went on
with the part without pause or hesitation
The applause of the audience was so
tremendous that one of the witnesses
of the scene has told us that the mon
ster chandelier in the centre of the roof
swung to and fro with the vibration.
But on her return to the dressing room
th'2'bxbitement proved too much for
her; and she fainted away. On com
ing back to consciousness, it was to find
Duke Louis atTier feet, and the com-
m/ssa'Ye standing bj) her side bidding
her take courage- for the pearls had
been founds “Are you sure that none
are missii g ?- Have noiie been s olen ?”
Duke Louis* theri clasped round her
neck the string of pearls, ccr'nplete at
at last, no longer sewn on the Velvet
band, but"‘strung with symmetry, and
fastened with a diamond clasp What
more c^uld be done by the divoted'lo
ver ? He had ’spared neither pains nor
sacrifice to aftaid liis end, and Mile.
Mendel consented to become his wife.
The' Emperor of Austria appears to
have been much moved by the story,
and suggested the nomination of the
bride eft-ct to’ the title bf Bardness de
WalleWbe, which ’ thus equalizes the
ranks of tjie fiances ainBenabied tlieui
to marry without difficulty. They live
the iriost retired life possible, in their
little chateau on Lake St'ahnberg ’1 hey
say that the Duchess Louise, ot Bava
ria never puts off", night or day, the
necklace ot pearls, the clasp of which
is rivetted to her neck, and that in con
sequence of this peculiarity, she ia
known all through the country round
by the name of JjKe E*iry Perlina, from
the old German tale qf tjie “magic
Pearl.”
We heartHy eqdorsS the following
frorp the Savannah Republican of the
}6ih ins». It expresses the sentiment
of the people of Georgia en masse. It
is plain, outspoken and severe, though
we much fear that its greatest severity
is in its truth.
The Georgia Nut.
This interesting out perplexing lit
tle commodity is up again lor cracking
this week m Congress, and, as we are
tired of uncertainly, we hgpe that body
will dismiss its scruples and cowardly
fears arid cLme down with the ham
mer. We dislike seeing the name of
our good old State kicked about as a
football by a conclave of Yankee
blackguards. We ate ready for pret
ty much anything down this way.
Snouid Congress take it into its head
tor once to be just and polilie, we shall
hail the act as me harbinger of a better
>iay; il on the contrary, we are to qou-
unue doomed to servitude under Rad
ical taskmaster, be it so; it will only
hasten Hie day ol retribution aD^make
i. fi -icer.
Unable to dispose of usurpation and
usurpers fully at the present time, the
chiet interest felt by Georgians in the
legislation regarding their Giate, is that
they may be in Si-me way secured
agan st the thieves who would plunder
me State of all her possessions. We
na e to own properly and pay taxes
..nly that Bul.ocic and his robber band
rnav be enriched. Perhaps so grand a
•cneine ol plunder never existed in any
S ate oltlie Union as that which has
been orgaruZeff by'the Sadfca! party
oiGeoigiu. They owii littleor nothing
and aie grasping at everything. If al
lowed loTbave their own way, but lit
tle will be left either iq the State or
ptople. Our great hope, therefore, is
that by its action regarding Geoigia,
•Builock may iii some wav be com pel i-
• d to keep Ins bauds out of the people’s
po.kets. Il bis mongrel Legislature,
winch is in full sympathy with all bis
plans for plunder, sndu.dBe allow.ed to
.meet.again, there is no telling what it
in iy iiot do.' Between. tlieOpeia House
oiitte Roaii, Yankee railroad rings, ne
gto militia, ’ and teat climax of all
sw indies—worse th^n.ihe Ho wan! Bu .
teau—popular education, our State
will be hurried to. iRe d—1 with rail
ioad speed The infiprious.concern,
there!..ie, which represents nobody bui
Bullock, sbotiid be squelched .oqt just
wiieie il n, in justice alike Lo the peace
and the lndusuial interests of the Stpte.
Common npoesiy demands it.
Whether Geoigia be kept under
Bull, ek or consigned to the mercies of
me military.until another meeting of
Congress, the people care not the snap
ol a linger. If there be a preference
beuveen each alternative, it is in favor
of the latter. And the fact serves to
-how how utterly odious is the pres nt
government in the eyes of our people,
it must be bad indeed when they are
willing to exchange it for a military
aespoiifin.
Nor do we feel the slightest interest
to be represented in Congress by the
people who are likely to claim mem
bership as our agents in the two houses.
The wduld be senators were never tne
choice offhe people, and as regards the
so called Representatives, they have
not even so much as passed through
tne forms of an election to the present
Congress.
Ali we ask of Congress,.therefore, is
to stop the stealing m"Georgia, and al
low the people to select their own rep
resentatives, at home and in Wash
ington.

A Romantic Story—Another

The Negro Wedding' Sensation.
Tile recent negro weeding"in Wash
ington City has been, through the agen
cy bf the Associated Piess at the latter
qity, obtrusively and disgustingly
thrust upon the attention of the South- .
era public.
We have had repeated telegrams,
announcing first the engagement 6^ 0
mulatto wench to a would-be FreOchr
man, and the great desire of the MTash-
ington Bohemians to secure invitatiogf
to the approaching wedding; then we.
were treated to a long and detailed
description of the grand preparati£
for the humiliating event and, f'iJ
we-had a graphic accorinuof tfie.J
mony itself, and the ‘-‘noble party of
fair ladies and brave men” assembled
to witness the revolting spectacle of 4
white man publicly giving himself np
to the embrace of a negrees.
It turns out, however, that the Presf
agent and thenewspapercorrespond^nta,
have b.een completely sold in relation,'
