Personal Reminiscences of the Empe
ror—The Story of Miss Howard.
A melancholy interest attaches to the
fate of Miss Howard, whose name is better
known than the circumstances of her life.
The story, as given in detail by Griscelli, i»
as follows ;
On a night of such fog as they have in
London, a man was walking up and down
the Haymarket. His height was five feet
and several inches ; he was tbick-waisted,
short-legged, with a pallid face, small eyes,
mustache, buttoned to the neck and carry
ing in hi.s hand a loaded cane, without any
hat. The passers by might take him for a
policeman. Suddenly a door gave entrance
to a lady elegantly dressed. The man ex
claimed, “Hallo, madame, alone so late
and in such bad weather ”
Without any invitation he followed the
ady, who, arriving in her parlor and think
ing him a civil policeman, offered him two
shillings.
“iMadame! Money— to mc?”2
“And who are you?”
“I am the Prince Louis Napoleon.”
Next day the conspirator of Strasbourg
aed Boulogne, the escaped from the for
tress of Ham, recalled himself to the mem
ory of his follwers by sending them some
English gold with which to still conspire
against the government that had twice left
him his life. From this day the misery
which had overwhelmed the son of Ad
miral Verhuel was driven away by the
bank notes of Miss Howard. While he
was President he had called Miss Howard
to Paris, and had taken for her a house,
No. 14, Rue de City. Miss Howard who
had given 8,000,000 francs to Napoleon,
considered herself as the future Empress.
But the daughter of Albion counted with
out him who, “when bespeaks, lies; when
he is silent plots.”
One day Napoleon sent Miss Howard to
Havre in company with his accomplice,
Mocquart, promising to come and see her
on Sunday. Saturday he married M’lle
de Moctijo. Taking her tea on the morn
ing of the day when she should receive the
visit of him who owed everything to her,
Miss Howard read of the marriage in the
Moniteur Officiel, Precipitately leaving
the Hotel Frascati, she engaged a special
train and reached her home in Paris, where
she saw the strangest spectacle. Furniture,
cushions, papers, notes, letters, contracts
some were broken, others were emptied,
and others stolen. Pietri, warned by a dis
patch from Mocquart, had gone to No. 14
Rue de Ciry. He was able to hear, and
others heard like him, the insulted English
woman call Naploeon assassin, swindler,
and robber. Next day, upon ber awaken
ing, Miss Howard was saluted by Mmes.
Fould and Fleury with the title of Countess
of Beauregard. At the same time they
gave her deeds of ownership to a property
bearing this name, situated on the route of
Versailles. Several months later the new
countess left France and established her
self in Florence, where she built a splendid
palace on the banks of the Arne. But ten
years after ennui seized her, and she wish
ed again to see Paris. Every day at the
moment when Napoleon and the Empress
came from the Tuilleries, Miss Howard
showed herself in a superb equipage and
dazzling toilet. Rumor said that the Em
press was furious. Some days after a per
formance at the Italiens, during which the
English woman , covered and occupying a
box directly in front, had amused herself
by eyeing “through an opera glass the wo
man wnu had stolen her Poleon, Miss How
ard was found suffocated in her bed.
The Montgomery Advertiser learns
from gentlemen just returned from
Texas that there are in that State not
less than ten thousand men who would
be willing to work as day laborers on
the farms of Alabama, if by so doing
they could be assured of their return
to that State. The case stands just
this way: Don’t go to Texas without
a "pocket full of rocks;" and when you
have tilled your pockets that is the
very last place on earth to go to, to
get the worth of your money.
—A Kentucky num who had
an arm shot off during the late
war has since then had hi.s leg
broken by a fall from a horse,
his remaining hand “rhawed np*
by a threshing machine, one of!
his eyes put out by running a
gainst a fence rail, and half his I
ribs caved in by the kick of a ■
mule.
