Beene in Maximilian’s Prison.
The Convent of the Capuchins is a
type of the min that has descended upon
ancient public edifices nil over Mexico,
Its towers, its architectural ornaments,
its distinctive marks of any sort, have
been razed or torn away. Tbo thick
walls enclose chambers paved with tits
and scantily furnished. The meanest
neglected paintings adorn some of the
walls, The windows, like aj! those of all
Mexican buildings or dwellings, are ben.
red with iron. It is a natural prison,
My acquaintance opposite found the
archduke and his companion in one of
the rooms in the ground floored this con
vent on the afternoon of the 3d June. —
Maxim'lliun lay asleep upon the pave
ment; Piircc Sulm-Salm sat writing at a
coarse table; two sentinels lounged at
the entrance.
As the visitor entered, the prince en
joined caution. ‘Do n< t speak too loud,
sir,’ he sail ; 'the erapeior is sleeping.’
The visitor took a seat by the table
‘I do not wish,’ was L.s response, ‘to
disturb yiur companion. I merely call
ed to inquire whether I can be of any ca
sual service. 1 have some acquaintance
with Escobedo.’
‘Escobedo? It is impossible to speak
ofbiin. lie has already determined.’
‘Upon what ?’
‘That the emperor,’ replied the prince,
lowering his voice,‘shall, of course, die.'
‘Do no* he sure. Eseobedo—■■'
It is a mockery. Escobedo will do
nothing. The emperor has applied to
Juarez for a postponement. My wife
huR gone to see him ; she should be hero
10-eUy. It is just possible— ’
Here Maximilian, disturbed, awoke
slowly, and raised himself upon his arm.
‘ls there, then,’ he asked,’ ‘any further
news from J uarez V
‘Not yet, to-day. Tliie gentleman on
ly comes from Escobedo.’
‘What,’ said the archduke, wearily, an
he got up and approached the table, ‘ia
there from Escobedo V
The visitor explained, as before, that
be was not sent, but bad come to learn
whether he could be of any service.
‘Alt, is that all ? I thank you. JJqt
I fear— ’
‘Pah !’ interrupted the pripce. ‘The
muleteer ! the—’
But here the archduke chocked 14*
companion.
‘Hush !’ he said; ‘I trust more to thj
princess than a hundred Escobedos. We
will wait lor her.’
‘She ought to come,’ said the prince,
an?iously. ‘She will do what she pan.’
The speaker emitted his seat and walk
ed the floor, liis eyeglass dropped un
noticed from its perch.
His fingers writhed nervously behind
his back. He tried to hum a tune, bn*
failed. Maximilian sank into the vacant
chair. For a few moments he was silent.
Thcu he lifiod bis eyes with a pleasant
smile, and sjoke:
•You are an American or Mexican—
which V
‘Both. I was born in Guadlajara, ancj
have lived in the United State?.
SfiJ! siuiling, the archduke continued :
‘The Arm ricans, I suppose, would not
regret to hear of my death
‘I think they would ; they are not such
a people; I hope they will not hear of it.’
‘We shall see.’ The archduke’s face
became sobered, and he spoke abstracted
ly. ‘I did what seemed for the best. —
They deceived me. I am afraid tliey
will regret'— Hero he leaned bis head
upon bis hand, and seemed to be waiting
and listening.
The visitor sat uneasily, regarding flip
two prisoners—-one motionless, the other
pacing to and free The barking of a dog
in the street, the souud off a carousal in
an opposite building, the soldiers voices
in the savon, were all cruelly distinct.
A lew minutes were thus spent. Thpn
a hustle was heard outside; the door open
ed, and a soldier am uiced ‘La Senora!’
lu an instant Prince Salui-Salm had
the new comer in his arms. She was
the voluntary messenger, his wife. She
hud just arrivid fQ n San Louis Potosi,
lroin Juarez. Her face was sun burn*
and soiled, her shoes were torn ; her whole
ferm trembled with nerveless fatigue as
she laid her hands upon her husband’s
shoulders. The atohduke came forward
eurgerly, wai'ing fur h.s turn, The
prince was heard to ask in a whisper :
•Ilad you any success? What did
Juarep say V
•Th*y will do what they havo said in
ti e dispatches. They have granted tho
delay.’ She turned to .Maximilian : ‘O,
your majesty, lam so glad.’
Maximilian took the princess' handanfl
kissed it. ‘May God bless yon, mad
ame !’ 1 c said; ‘you have been too kind,
to one who is afraid he can never serve,
you.’
The princess forced a snnle. ‘Do not,
be too sure of ihat, your majesty, I shall,
have some favor to ask for tho prinoo
here yet.’
‘You will never need to ask that, road
ame,’ responded the archduke, leading
the lady to a seat.
But you look weary. Yon are tired.
Wo can offer little. Prince, you most
care for your . I, —s-* Mfe
Turning his face aside, Maximilian
moved abruptly tn m rif -fjfflWiniljii, 'lt
why. Ilis
strained, but almost audible. Tlsjf&rißce
with one hand on the back of his wifaV
chair, aud with the other uplifted towai4
tho archduke iu muto protestation, cosh
hardly restrain his own. * "...
