“No, not the coffee—it was till

So whis|H!reil, murmured, and chat-

.Marie Antoinette sat with the duchess
of Poligmic, her tenderly loved friend,

“What nils you, Agatha?” asked she
kindly, as the favorite sighed.
Agat ha do l’oligmie raised her roguish
! brown head and said, saucily, “Three

“Sigh not. my angel; I will beg
Louis to grant them to you. We owo

The designing prineess lifted the
queen's laee sleeve to her red lips,
whispered gratefully, “Oh. that 1

iloved queen!”
“Live for me. you dear child, and,

Tlie furor which his wit created at
the court consoled him somewhat for
the lost 1.000,000, and was it not all the
same whether at his death there should
be a deficit of one paltry million more
or loss? He left, in fact, a round 10,•
000,000 in debts. It was a noble sum;
nine would not have sounded so im-
pressive.
Dumonet migrated to Belgium, when
he found more appreciation, and lived,
safe and respected,while the revolution
storm swept over his unhappy father-
land. “Who laughs last,” etc.

Tlie bastille had not yet fallen. Tho
thoughtless youth of the French aristoc-
racy still danced through tlie saloons
of the royal castles. Maurepas still
reigned prime minister — the sumo
friend of humanity who made the com-
passionate decision concerning the peo-
ple's welfare: “Why build hospitals.
('an not the people die on the roads if
they like?’’
This evening -Maurepas had the honor
of being permitted to lead tlie beauti-
ful Mario Antoinette to the card-table,
but. complaining of a severe headache
ns they passed through the saloon, tho
good queen excused him from further
attendance that the pain might not he

through the ante-chamber to the danc-
ing hall, where the king was taking his
coffee, lie perceived beneath the gobelin
tapestry of the famous Louvois window
a man in citizens’ dress, who regarded
him expectantly and bowed low before
him.
“It is all right.Dumonet,” whispered
thu asthmatic old man; “this evening
his majesty will taste of it.” And ho
forthwith thrilled out one of his hun-
dred madrigals, which, in truth, were
tame enough, but which his flatterers
found very witty. In tlie royal apart-

-Do too wislt to test my mathema-

••Come, now.” said Louis, interrupt-
ing ids babble, “is sugar ever bitter.
••And your majesty will never guesf

The king was not without hoitk
knowledge of chemistry, therefore lu
answered hesitatingly:
“Naturally from tho sugarcane.
“Pardon me, your majesty, it is beet-
root sugar.’’
••Beet-root! What is beet-root?
The duchess of Chartreuse, who wnf
listening, drew near and said: “Beets,
Bire, are little red leaves, of which my
servants make salad.”

the very lips, stood beside her husband.
"For heaven’s sake, Louis!” cried she
j in her distress, unmindful of all cere-
j mouy.
“What is the matter, my queen?”
asked Louis in the gentle way which he
had never abandoned toward liis bo
loved wife. “What brought you to
me? You are very pale.” He seized a
i glass of water, poured some of the
newly discovered sugar in it,and hatid-
; ed her tho glass.
“Drink. It is too warm in tho saloon
and the company is too exciting. Tliis
1 sugar water will refresh you.”

Constitution: Much has been said late-
ly in your paper uml others concern-
ing the killing of (ieneral McPherson,
ami these various accounts differ as to
many points connected w ith that event,
(ieneral Mcl'le-rson was highly esteem-
ed by tho Southern army, and it can
be well said of him that wherever ho
went his gentlemanly deportment and
kindly treatment of the Southerners
was almost demoralizing. It whs in
marked contrast with much that his
fellow officers did. Hence our people
even at the time regretted his death,
| aud now honor his memorv.
Tho writer is well acquainted w ith
I Captain Hit-hard Beard, of Miirfroes-
i boro, Tenn., who claims, and no doubt
I justly, to have been eve-witness to the
killing of (ieneral Mi-Ple-rsou. 1 may
l not give his account with perfect ac-
curacy, for it was told me years ago,
hut my recollection is that the circum-
stances attending that event were sub-
stantially as follows: Captain Beard
was ordered, with his company, then a
mere handful, to make an attack upon
a fortification which it was supposed
was held by few men. While oxecut-
ing this order quite a number of Fed-
I oral officers came riding towards him.
! Halting his men he waited until tliev
I got near by and then commanded them
to surrender. All did except one, who,
wheeling It is horse uud putting spurs
to him, while drawing his sword and
wait ing it over his head, dashed off at
full speed towards the Federal lines.
Captain Beard ordered his men to lire,
for, as he states, he felt satislied that
the officer, on account of the retinue
accompanying him, must bo high in
command, aud lie could not help ad-
miring his bravo dash fur freedom.
However, an Arkansas Sergeant, who
had become detached from his otvn
command, and was accompanying Cap-
tain Beard's company, drew down his
gun, and in spite of the order given,
fired, and the retreating officer fell to
the ground.
After disarming those who hail sur-
rendered, and putting them in charge
of one or two men. Captain Beard re-
sumed his advance, and passed tho
prostrate form of the officer just killed.
Du-fling with his brave Tennesseeans
up tlie fortification, he was astonished
to see a Federal colonel jump upon the
embankment, within speaking distance,
who shouted in almost appealing tones
to Captian Beard: “For (foil’s sake
surrender, brave man, for we have ten
to y our one!” The Tennesseeans were
soon surrounded and taken prisoners,
finding flic statement of the Colonel
true. The charge from the reinforced
Federals swept everything back until
they passed and retook the prison-
ers, and then Captain Beard learned
