They We SUCH trials o loreign war, either With France or England or both, as are now so often suggested in the public journals of America, and their extracts from the Euro pean press." j j This conversation impressed me much, and has been recorded with peculiar care, Mr. Davis delivering it with great delibera tion and earnestness, as though the. sub ject were one upon which he had been re flecting. It is as nearly as possibly repro duced in his own words, without abridge ment, and may, perhaps, be of some sug gestive value perhaps ol none.

A novel incident, according to the laris correspondent of the Irish Timcs occurred at the Pans races on Sunday: "Une cr two celebrated personages were present. For instance, the Emperor was there, and ihe .... .- . i walked about for a good hour, lamiliany leaning on the arm of the Marquis de La valette, his-Minister of the Interior. Isa- . bella, the flower-girl of the Jockey Club, had between her tapering fingers one of the loveliest little roses overseen, and she looked long and anxiously toward the most powerful man -in the world. "Courage, Isabella!" she said at last, walking up to the great man tremblingly, but gracefully, held before him the beautiful rose. Napo leon has -much natural kindness of heart; besides, he never refuses anything nice from ypretty woman, and so with a bow and a "smTTe he loo the blushing ilower from the" blushing girl, and placed it in his button hole, But the Emperor is not accustomed to receive favors without recompense, and his hand immediately sought his pocket. This is the strangest part of the story not that the Emperor had pockets, but in them he had not a single "sou." His purse had been . forgotten. Perhaps on that great course, with its hundreds of thousands-of grouped spectators, the mighty Emperor of the French a man whose civil list is twenty-five millions of francs, and who be sides can put his hand in the national till when he pleases was the only person pre sent without gold, silver, or copper in his immediate possession.

She was led to the 'altar during the second year1 of the war by a young and gallant captain in a Texas regiment, who left her to rejoin his command in Virginia ere the honey-moon had! waned. His career was an honorable one; and in" her far off home her heart had been made to swell, while his deeds of valor were being, recounted by his comrades. But! few leaves of absence were given in the; Army of Northern Virginia to Texahs, jind our captain was1 not permitted to re turn to the .rosy bovvers where love await ed him His devotion to duty knew no abatement, and he was found among the faithful few when tle end camel He is known to have surrendered with the Texas ibrigade at Appomattox Courthouse, and to have started fairly upon the wings of j love to, meet the lady of his choice. Further than this nothing is known of him. Other hearts -haVe been made glad by the return of absent-ones, but that great agony of sus pense has yet to be lifted from the heart of thefair Texas bride. Unable any longer to quietly bear the torture ot doubt and . uncertainty, she resolved upon a mission of inquiry after the one whose fate still re- mains a mystery. Her search has been ex" tended trom lexas to Virginia, and no ef fort has been spared to discover the proba ble! cause of his lengthened stay; and while hen search has been fruitless, she is ready to wager her future hopes of Heaven that if. living he is faithful still, and if dead her name was mingled with his latest breath. She returns to ner nome in Texas with a mountain weight of sorrow pressing heavi ly npoh her lair young brow. The Brenham.
