M,. al. COLUMBIA, S. C. Loni» Napoleon's Love Affaira. The first flame'of the present Emperor of the French was Eleonore Gordon, - the daughter of a French captain, who fell in Spam. Ele .»nore was the Prince's confi¬ dante in the Strasburg attempt. She was a singer, and made advances to the Pretender, at Baden, in the summer of 1839. It is said she had dreamed that 3he would be¬ come the Empress of the French. In any case, sb behaved very courageously. While Lous Napoleon was unsuccessfully ha- rangueing thc troops in the Pinmatt Bar¬ racks, the gendarms were already knocking at the door of Miss Gordon, whom Persigny had just informed that the Prince's enter¬ prise was a failure. Miss Gordon burned all the papers refer- yjiirr thé emento-tho lists of conspirators, the correspondence with them, and when the gendarmes threatened to break the door in, she placed a?chest of drawers against* it, so as to complete her auto de fe at leisure,. It was owing to her presence of mind sub-, sequently, that so little came to light at the trial. Louis Napoleon held Miss Gordon in affectionate memory for a long time. When Louis Blanc visited him at Ham, in 1842, he spöko kindly about her. Almost Simultaneously, Louis Napoleon had fixed his oyes on the.Quecn of Portugal, who was then fifteen years of age. J. he portrait of Maria dc Gloria produced an. impression on him, and ho would not have been indisposed to become King of portu¬ gal. But the matter did not go on quite right, in spite of all the exertions made, by his relatives. Oh December 44, 1835, Louis Napoleon, in an official letter, declined fhe r«»l-t,U(reSe CIMulMlubCaltlp. At that time, however, a third lady was ie rival of the singer and the queen. This WUs Mathilde, King. Jerome's seventeen year old daughter. She seemed to have loved Louis Napoleon sincerely. When he was transported to .America, on board the Andromeda, he thought with sadness of his cousin, and wrote the following in Iiis journal: ' - "When I was taking Mathilde home, a few months ago, wc entered'the park toge- fher, and saw there a tree which had just been destroyed by a tempest, upon which I said to myself, that our marriage plans weald be destroyed by destiny in a similar manner. What my mind then darkly fore¬ boded has since become the truth. Have I, during this year, enjoyed the whole amount of felicity granted to me in this world?" Mathilde, who was born at Trieste, on May 27, 1820, was a great beauty, of short stature, but well formed, with a head of classic shape" large, flashing eyes, and ex¬ pressive, regular features. Her blooming complexion served as a .relief to her light, flaxen hair,,. Soon after her marriage with Prince Anatole Deniidoff, her charms faded away, and lier face assumed an expression ol" weaiiness. When Louis Napoleon be-, came President, Mathilde did the honors in his house. In 1840, Louis Napoleon was enamoured of tho lovely Lady S--. He bore her colors at the tournament which Lord Elgin got up in Aryshire. From the tournament ho proceeded to Boulogne. At the fortress of Ham, whither he was conveyed after the Boulogne failure, he fell in love with a girl of the name of Badingnet, the daughter of a wholesale baker in town. By her he had ' two children, of whom Miss Howard after¬ wards took charge, of course for a large allowance. Mfss Howard was a robust English beauty, who. cost Louis a great deal. He maxie her Countess de Beauregard, and purchased ? her a splendid villa near Paris. In 1640, she had a fausse coilche; and the Parisians still remember, as it were to-day, how .straw was spread ¡Jin front of the house of the President's mistress.' It is notorious that it was Miss Howard who, hi the winter of 1861, drove the Empress to Scotland by her audacity; she took a box in the.opera exactly opposite Eugenie's, and stared at her through her glasses in a most provoking way. < " / r!'ï"..'. -T".f ^ïiôlri.-»»-»'f*' l^vr^f. ^'VÎ*"i¿252 Eugenio Montijo, was the happiest of all- sho. became Empress. In 1848, Louis Nu<- poloon was, a while, the admirer of Madame Kategris, a charming blondme, to whom GaVaignac also paid court.

There are many more visitors from the South just now than -from the North, and their manners at the hotels, before the Pre¬ sident and elsewhere, aro thus described by aiw>bsorver in the Richmond Whig: TSerious, with an air of resignation in their faces which does not exclude vivacity, dig- niftcd without haughtiness, reserved ""but not taciturn, the prodigal children of the Union como back honre, if not entirely con¬ vert» d, with tho best intention at lda»t tq \>e, faithful to their pledge and to live is peac* with the Gojernmeuti *Flie hotel afc v,iiic% 'I l>itt'trp was fiÜed with famffiis froni the South, coming here with the awowed j intention of obtaining their pardon from the President. The men looked grave, the women sad; the children surprised and al¬ most bewildered to see themselves in such a place. Most of those I sa\*r were in mourning. At breakfast or dinner they ate solemnly and almost without exchanging a word. It was evident from their manner? that they belonged to what - was formerly called the aristocracy of the .South. . Their manners were easy and simple/ without; any mixture of that stiffness- and constraint which you. meet so frequently among up¬ starts. Their-proud and" domineering atti¬ tude; their imperious look; the sententious etvle in whjph they addressed other people- ali this is gone. Cool, reserved and modest; they speak very little, go straight forward in then- business without looking either to the right or to the left, like people who aro in haste to leave ..he city and go homo. In the President's ante-room, where I met several, and among them a few members of the Confederate Congress, "they stood in corners or ont of doors^ with a newspaper in their hands, communicating with no one, and acting pretty nearly as if they were prisoners of war and bad lost the right of speaking their mind. The ladies copy and even exaggerate the reserve of the men. They remain most part of the*time confined to their rooms, never go down to the parlor, and when they leave the hotel, which is very rare, it is for a visit to some friends, or to exchange civilities with Southern families in some other hotel. The only time I saw Southern, ladies depart from their silent and reserved attitude was when they addressed the President in behalf of their sons and husbands. On that occasion their timidity vanished; they became bolds even audacious, and, with true eloquence, tried to awake the sympathies of the Chief Magistrate. The impassibility of the President and his ap¬ parent coolness did not seem to make them flinch; they renewed their entreaties with greater sphjt «nd force, and did not leave the ground until they had either carried their point or hoped to carry it. A RUSSIAN BEAK.-While I am speaking of Russians let me narrate the eccentricity ' of ono of them, who ia just now the lion of Paris. I never saw a human face divine degraded by so mn-h sensuality. Hin 'wealth is something enormous. I will not challenge your oredulity to its utmost verge by hunting only figures. This may, however, say. Ho went recently to a stock broker and ordered him to buy some three per cents, that he might not have too much money lying idle at-ic Rothschild's bank. "How much shall I buy?" inquired tho stock broker.. "Well, i really Ärget; I believe somewhere between six and eight millions of dollars." Can you conceive for a fellow '¿out" ' by one or two millions of uuuu.uf ir_ i_j. .-1_ x-_.1_i_ detests* and who hang on him as iron filings on the magnet. Who does not hang on his richfckin? He summoned them to his study the other day and held this language: "I know we are of kin, but I came to Paris to .enjoy myself, and the' continual sight of you does greatly lessen the pleasures of my life in Paris. How it is I don't know. Doctor Fell, 'the reason why I cannot tell. ' Now if you will promise mo to leave Paris and never set your foot again in afc, L will give you $1,200,000 a piece." The offer was accepted. He gave them a check on Messrs. de Rothschild, and they quitted Paris that night. % [Parts Cor. New York Paper.

Oh! for her sakot whose heart is breaking,Now, let compassion be awaking;Oh! for his children's sake we're praying:Let mercy vengeance's hand be staying,\nd save him, in that prison lying,Who, not for his own sui, is dying.Oh! let not tho fanatic, cryingFor blood, compassion be denying;Tho nation,' in her truth and honor,Avert tho stain they'd put upon her;An old man's crimelcss blood, that neverCould bo wiped out, forever, over.

COLUMBIA, S. C.

Loni» Napoleon's Love Affaira.The first flame'of the present Emperor of

the French was Eleonore Gordon, - thedaughter of a French captain, who fell inSpam. Ele .»nore was the Prince's confi¬dante in the Strasburg attempt. She was asinger, and made advances to the Pretender,at Baden, in the summer of 1839. It issaid she had dreamed that 3he would be¬come the Empress of the French. In anycase, sb behaved very courageously. WhileLous Napoleon was unsuccessfully ha-rangueing thc troops in the Pinmatt Bar¬racks, the gendarms were already knockingat the door of Miss Gordon, whom Persignyhad just informed that the Prince's enter¬prise was a failure.Miss Gordon burned all the papers refer-

yjiirr thé emento-tho lists of conspirators,the correspondence with them, and whenthe gendarmes threatened to break the doorin, she placed a?chest of drawers against* it,so as to complete her auto de fe at leisure,.It was owing to her presence of mind sub-,sequently, that so little came to light at thetrial. Louis Napoleon held Miss Gordonin affectionate memory for a long time.When Louis Blanc visited him at Ham, in1842, he spöko kindly about her.Almost Simultaneously, Louis Napoleonhad fixed his oyes on the.Quecn of Portugal,who was then fifteen years of age. J.heportrait of Maria dc Gloria produced an.impression on him, and ho would not havebeen indisposed to become King of portu¬gal. But the matter did not go on quiteright, in spite of all the exertions made, byhis relatives. Oh December 44, 1835, LouisNapoleon, in an official letter, declined fher«»l-t,U(reSe CIMulMlubCaltlp.At that time, however, a third lady wasie rival of the singer and the queen. This

WUs Mathilde, King. Jerome's seventeenyear old daughter. She seemed to haveloved Louis Napoleon sincerely. When hewas transported to .America, on board theAndromeda, he thought with sadness of hiscousin, and wrote the following in Iiisjournal: '

-

"When I was taking Mathilde home, afew months ago, wc entered'the park toge-fher, and saw there a tree which had justbeen destroyed by a tempest, upon which Isaid to myself, that our marriage plansweald be destroyed by destiny in a similarmanner. What my mind then darkly fore¬boded has since become the truth. Have I,during this year, enjoyed the whole amountof felicity granted to me in this world?"Mathilde, who was born at Trieste, onMay 27, 1820, was a great beauty, of shortstature, but well formed, with a head ofclassic shape" large, flashing eyes, and ex¬pressive, regular features. Her bloomingcomplexion served as a .relief to her light,flaxen hair,,. Soon after her marriage withPrince Anatole Deniidoff, her charms fadedaway, and lier face assumed an expressionol" weaiiness. When Louis Napoleon be-,came President, Mathilde did the honors inhis house.In 1840, Louis Napoleon was enamouredof tho lovely Lady S--. He bore hercolors at the tournament which Lord Elgingot up in Aryshire. From the tournamentho proceeded to Boulogne. At the fortressof Ham, whither he was conveyed after theBoulogne failure, he fell in love with a girlof the name of Badingnet, the daughter of

a wholesale baker in town. By her he had' two children, of whom Miss Howard after¬wards took charge, of course for a largeallowance.Mfss Howard was a robust English beauty,who. cost Louis a great deal. He maxie herCountess de Beauregard, and purchased? her a splendid villa near Paris. In 1640,she had a fausse coilche; and the Parisiansstill remember, as it were to-day, how.straw was spread ¡Jin front of the house ofthe President's mistress.' It is notoriousthat it was Miss Howard who, hi the winterof 1861, drove the Empress to Scotland byher audacity; she took a box in the.operaexactly opposite Eugenie's, and stared ather through her glasses in a most provokingway. < " /r!'ï"..'. -T".f ^ïiôlri.-»»-»'f*' l^vr^f. ^'VÎ*"i¿252

Eugenio Montijo, was the happiest of all-sho. became Empress. In 1848, Louis Nu<-poloon was, a while, the admirer of MadameKategris, a charming blondme, to whomGaVaignac also paid court.

Southerners in Washington.There are many more visitors from theSouth just now than -from the North, andtheir manners at the hotels, before the Pre¬sident and elsewhere, aro thus described byaiw>bsorver in the Richmond Whig:TSerious, with an air of resignation in their

faces which does not exclude vivacity, dig-niftcd without haughtiness, reserved ""butnot taciturn, the prodigal children of theUnion como back honre, if not entirely con¬vert» d, with tho best intention at lda»t tq\>e, faithful to their pledge and to live ispeac* with the Gojernmeuti *Flie hotel afcv,iiic% 'I l>itt'trp was fiÜed with famffiis froni

the South, coming here with the awowed jintention of obtaining their pardon fromthe President. The men looked grave, thewomen sad; the children surprised and al¬most bewildered to see themselves in sucha place. Most of those I sa\*r were inmourning. At breakfast or dinner they atesolemnly and almost without exchanging a

word. It was evident from their manner?that they belonged to what - was formerlycalled the aristocracy of the .South. . Theirmanners were easy and simple/ without; anymixture of that stiffness- and constraintwhich you. meet so frequently among up¬starts. Their-proud and" domineering atti¬tude; their imperious look; the sententiousetvle in whjph they addressed other people-ali this is gone. Cool, reservedand modest;they speak very little, go straight forward inthen- business without looking either to theright or to the left, like people who aro inhaste to leave ..he city and go homo.In the President's ante-room, where I met

several, and among them a few members ofthe Confederate Congress, "they stood incorners or ont of doors^ with a newspaperin their hands, communicating with no one,and acting pretty nearly as if they wereprisoners of war and bad lost the right ofspeaking their mind. The ladies copy andeven exaggerate the reserve of the men.They remain most part of the*time confinedto their rooms, never go down to the parlor,and when they leave the hotel, which is veryrare, it is for a visit to some friends, or toexchange civilities with Southern familiesin some other hotel. The only time I sawSouthern, ladies depart from their silent andreserved attitude was when they addressedthe President in behalf of their sons andhusbands. On that occasion their timidityvanished; they became bolds even audacious,and, with true eloquence, tried to awake thesympathies of the Chief Magistrate. Theimpassibility of the President and his ap¬parent coolness did not seem to make themflinch; they renewed their entreaties withgreater sphjt «nd force, and did not leavethe ground until they had either carriedtheir point or hoped to carry it.

A RUSSIAN BEAK.-While I am speakingof Russians let me narrate the eccentricity '

of ono of them, who ia just now the lion ofParis. I never saw a human face divinedegraded by so mn-h sensuality. Hin'wealth is something enormous.

I will not challenge your oredulity to itsutmost verge by hunting only figures. Thismay, however, say. Ho went recently to astock broker and ordered him to buy somethree per cents, that he might not have toomuch money lying idle at-ic Rothschild'sbank. "How much shall I buy?" inquiredtho stock broker.. "Well, i really Ärget; Ibelieve somewhere between six and eightmillions of dollars."

detests* and who hang on him as iron filingson the magnet. Who does not hang on hisrichfckin? He summoned them to his studythe other day and held this language: "Iknow we are of kin, but I came to Paris to.enjoy myself, and the' continual sight ofyou does greatly lessen the pleasures of mylife in Paris. How it is I don't know.Doctor Fell, 'the reason why I cannot tell. '

Now if you will promise mo to leave Parisand never set your foot again in afc, L willgive you $1,200,000 a piece." The offerwas accepted. He gave them a check onMessrs. de Rothschild, and they quittedParis that night. %
