Truly the Golden Horn is a horn of plenty. 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.
