Annie Laurie—An Incident
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
‘ Give na a song J” the soldier cried.
The oritcUtrenchcs guarding,
Whiie the heated guns of the camps allied,
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Re ’am in eilent scoff
Lay grim and threatening under ;
And the tawny mound of (lie Malakoff
a. No longer belched ita thunder.
There was a pause ; the guardsman said :
We storm the Fort to-morrow ;
King while we may; another day
W ill bring enough of Borrow.”
0 * '
Th(sf Iky along the battery’s side,
Below the smoking connon
Brave hearts from Severn x and from Clyde,
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love, and not of 'ame ;
Forgot was Britain’s glory j
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all i-ang “Aunie Laurie.’ 1
Voice after .voice caught up the song, -
'■ tJnfil tho tender passion
• Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
rheir baftlo eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak
Yet as the song grew render, .
Sometimes upon the soldier’s cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond tho darkening oeem burned
The bloody sunset’s embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of hell
Rained on the Kussian quarters,' .
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And bellowing of the mortars.
AH' HIBII TYwa 5, ,r -
For a singer, dumb and gory ;
An English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of “Annie Laurie."
Oh. soldier ! to your honored rest,
Y"tir truth and honor bearing ;
The bravest are the ten derest— ’
The loving ai e the daring.
Forney's Inscription of Douglas and
Other Public hied of the Past.
From the Wasliingtorr Sunday Chronicle }
How to win friends amt keep them is fhc
secret of a successful public man. Andre#
Jackson possessed it without absultltely
courting tho people. His integrity, gen*
crone mttme, high honor, milbary ebaratj
tet and history, were chief elements of bis
prestige, Henry Olay possessed and knew
how to use if. His charms were uhfivalK
ed eloqutMi'ce, supreme ambition, innate pa
triotism, commanding presence, and mag
netism of men and women. JvJm Quincy
Adams, Martin Van Baron and James Bn*
chanuti were cold and formal men, who in*
spired admiration by their talents, but
never awakened real affection. Abraham
Lincoln captured everybody by seeming to
lie indifferent to the very qualities in which
he was eminent* His simplicity and natu
ralness, so .to speak, were resistless. But
no character, certainly no candidate for
our highest office, was a completer master
of thd gift of securing tenacious friends
than Stephen A. Douglas. He had scarce
ly touched the floor of Congress before he
became an object of interest- His extreme
youdh|hts boyish appearance, k ' 3 reai b’
wit, his fine memory, Ins native rhetoiic,
above all, his suavity and heaitiness,
made him a favo.ite Icmg before he was
named for President. He delighted in
pleasant company* Unused to what is
called etiquette, he soon adapted himself to
its rules, and took rank iu the dazzhng so*
ciety of the capital. Many a time have I
watched him leading in tue keen encoun
ters of the bright entellects around the fes*
tive board, so see him threading the glit
tering crowd with a pleasant smile or a
kind word so« everbody, one would have
taken him for a trained courtier. But he
was more at home in the close aud ex< i
ting thicket of nmn. That was his ele
ment. To call each one by name, some*
times by bis Christian name ; to stand in
iu the center of a listening throng* while
he told some Western story or defended
public measure ; to exchange jbkes with *
political adversaiy ; or, ascending the
rostrum, to bold thousands spellbouud for
hours, as he poured fourth torrents of
characteristic eloquence-these were traits
that raised up for him hosts who were
ready to fight for him. Eminent .men did
not hesitate V> take their stand under the
Douglas flag. R«P«r ® c, ‘ olars than him
self, ojder if not better statesmen, frankly
acknowledged his leadership, and faithful
ly followed his fortunes;

August best demands the moat perfect
taste. Light*.cool, «»ry muslin*, orgsn
dies and grenadines are altogether in ’ jit%
ascendent. There is anew apd delight*
fully criol fabric' Suitable for August and
September, ihe Tussore linen ; it comes in
frog green, dm* cofor, tea color, anc! va
rious shades of brown, but not ip ecru or
any tint of buff which makes it less com>
toon. With the fringed selvedge for trim*,
these costumes are easily made for
Country wear with the plaited skirt, blouse,
and overskirt, kilt plaiting promises to
be a favorite mode of trimming next sea
son. It must be remembered that it should
always be made straight, never bias, and
stitched on about an inch or two, accor
ding to its widih from the top and bottom
edge, which must be hemmed properly ;
not mof.e|y down to r save present
tude* f Uut making a tverd ofj 'texationsak
ter trouble.
Mixed j“wels are to be avoided. Vari
ety is the spice of life so far as expression
of face, intonation of voice, and general
conversation goes ; but variety in colors,
of dress ornamentation and jewelry j is aims
ply barbarous. But taste in dress is now
as carefully cultivated as music and dan**
cing ; therefore, the eyes will no mere in
the hereafter be offended by glaring incon-s
grnities. All gilded and tawdry orna*
merits, tassels, brass crescent#, gilt loco
motives and steamboats, huge bright ear
rings, lockets like cheese plate.?, and gilt
chains, are .on . the decline. Above all
things jewelry should be worn in sets. .
A beautiful accompaniment to the white
dresses so popular is the shell jewelry,
which copies in entire sets, and is much
lighter and more delicate for summer than

tiYe set monograms are cut very jirtistical*
ly . # A Broadway importer exhibits a new*
er style, sot with precious stones, exceed
ingly pretty. Very handsome parasols are
imported, with tortoise shell handles, upon
which the monogram can be cut.
There, is a change m the coiffure, the
Grecian twist taking the place of the chat*
elahie braids. This is certainly cooler and
more graceful, but qpore troublesome to ar*
range classically. Hair importers are in
ecstacies, as ibis effange involves greater
expenditures in hair. One fashionable las
dy.has already ordered two switches, each
to cost s46—one to coil in the twist, the
other to pass-in a braided coronal, afound
the head. &>ft fill wool delaius are a's”
revhMiig, and are largely imported. The**
are already made up for autumn coolness,
delicately trimmed with silk. They rapgW
when made up. in prices from to S6O,
aewwding to the stylo .and trimin ; ng.
The new hat promises to be a great fa
vorite , it is called ir. Paris the Louis XVlih
here, the Roland''and the Derby. It is ra*
ther. like a riding hat, high crown of black
English straw, tolling narroiy brim ; trim
ming in black velvet, grosgrain ribbon and
ostrich tips upon one side, beneath which
a loop of velvet holds the ends of a long
vail of black dotted lace, used as a scarf
for ornament or vail at pleasure. A long
ostriqh plume is also worn with this style
of hat. The Mies' Oxford ties are more
and more popular- With these, black silk
stockings are worn, by those who cannot
vet become reconciled to the display of
white. But the unbleached Lisle thread or
fine wbife silk are much nicer in all ways,
and m fact afe altogether worn by women

thing colored in the way of underclothing
Cravats in white lace aad white laWn
are very fashionable. Cooler in effect
than ribbon, they possess a very dainty ap
they may be modified by a knot of tosy or
any bright lined ribbon placed beneath*
Cashmere of delicate gray, as as black,
braided or trimmed with lace, is preferred
for a wisp at the fashionable re*ort3 to
jackets or shawls. They are made in sty-,
lish polonaise. Another old fashion is
gradually reviving—that of black lace
mitts. They are now exhibited, but few
have been as yet seen.
Great labor is saved in embroidery of
handkerchiefs, as exquisitely worked letters
are imported to be transferred to the cor-;
ners in single large initials* These beau
tiful letters are also done iu point lace aud

Napoleon had recently

aud place Complimentary telegrams ar*re 4
received from the Czar of Kussta, Kifig ol
Sweden, Emperor of Austria,’King of Port
nga’, King of Holland, Prince of Wales
and others. There is a deep stgniAcauce
attached to this - incident. Less than a
quarter of a ceutfffy ago the crowned
heads of Europe would have'noticed Louis
Napoleon only to order him to leave their
dominions. They regarded him as a pen
niless and characterless adventurer, and
treated him accordingly. Tears rolled ott,
and Napoleon became President, Emperor,
and tho greatest ruler France has had in
one hundred and fifty years, with tho ex"
.ception of tile First Napoleon. He was
ao adventurer. He usurped his p6Wer.
He played the tyrant from the very outset,
But his greatness was undeniable and his
success baffled all calculation. Royalty
recognized his power and bowed before it.
The proudest houses of Europe were 1 com
pelled, to acknowledge that lhig> plebian
usurper was at least their equal, and they
at once accepted the situation with the
b2st grace imaginable. *
But Napoleon's career wss not destined
to be one of unbroken sucoess. The fatal
uffqir at Sedan left him a captive Emperor,
Without a crown* without an Empire, and
almost without a follower/ Aud now we
■ come to the strangest part of this remark*
ible man's history : Louis Napoleon, the
exile, retams tho friendship of the l£ings
and princes*who regarded him with so
much hatred and distrust at site Hide of the
coup d'etat. The royal family of England
visit him constantly, and from every quar
ter he receives assurances *f respsef, iyms
these facts the recent fetFTrtflfftuflUlWli-W
--invested with additional importance.
The Emperor takes everything that has
occurred since the fall of the Empire with
the most serene composure. Ho visits a
good deal, give* elegant receptions, and
goe* on pleasure .excunoons nearly every
other day. Tlie people in the neighborhood
of Chiseliiurat all feel kindly disposed to
ward the exile, and the celebrities of Eng
land are thronging hia house all the time.
Colonel Blanton Duncan, an American gen*
tlem»n, who has recently returned from
Europe, gives a very interesting account
of oue of bis conversations with Napoleon
at Chiselhurst. He regards the ie-estab
ffshcißtit of the Empire as a fixod fact, and
says that Leon Gambet’ft is the only man
in France powerful enough to interfere
with Napoieon’s prtafid. The present de
cade has been crowded With So many
startling events that lew will he surprised
to see the Man of Sedan again at tbe head
of the Empire.
Heavy Vebdicp Against a Railroad Com

Court, in session at Jacksonville, on Fri
day, the Jacksonville D*pot Company ob
tained a verdict of $28,000 against the
Toledo, Wabash St Western Railroad Com
pany, under the following facts r
The Jacksonville Building Company
erected a large depot, including an eating
house, on the railroad gronnds of that city,
the railroad agreeing to use part of the
structure as a passenger depot, for which
a rent was to be pai # and, and they further
agreed to stop the passenger trains twenty
minutes at for meals* The Com
pany failed to comply with the latter part
of the agreement, whereupon the Building
Company sued for the cost of the building.
The verdict was rendered to the fall amount
claimed, with costs.

Oojfe Up in Osoi»rA.—The
traveling correspondent of the New York
Herald, who ia engaged in a gort of gen»
erai recouooissanue of the political situa
tion in the Bootherii'States, tells the story
of Georgia ftotn Atlanta, in ft few brief
sentences, as follows :
So far as Georgia is concerned, there is
no Republican party in this Stale. Bol
lock has ‘gone back,on it,* Brown doesn't
recognize it, and all the other leaders, big
fish and sardines alike, repudiate it. All
are iu favor of the ‘new departures,' what
ever they may mean. True enough, the
so-called Republican organ here —a very
ably edited paper, by the way—still keeps
the came of Grant at«the bead ot its editor
rial page, but its politics are decidedly
Conservative, and are anything else than
in accord with the platform of the Ohio
Radicals and lh<r sentiments of Senator*
Sherman and Morton. In fact the Repub
lican party here is as dead as a door najl ;
and 1 may say that, excepting South Car
olina and Mississippi, it *iern.« to be equal
ly defunct in every other Sonteern State.
A few month- more will tell the story, and
I shall be surprised if the narration is, at
all satisfactory to either President Grant
or to the Republican party of the North.
