The Empress Eugenie (says the New York World) has for some time past been living at Arenenberg, whera the Third Napolecn passed eo many years of his life with bis mother, the love- lyand unfortunate Queen Horiense. Areneuberg is & charming chatean, standing a litile off the direcs roxd from Schafthausen to Coustance. It was 8old ip 1643, aftor the deatk of Louis Bona~ parte, ex-King of Holland, to'a citizen of N enburg, for 810,000 floring, and in 1855 this citi- zen's beirs sent to Paris and sold there its fine collection of paintinge and works of art, includ- ing some pa:ntings by David, and many souve- xirsof the First Napoleon. This led the Em- ‘peror Napoleon ITI. to repurchase the estste, nd it now belougs to bis son. The ex-Empress (who always, by the way, alludes to the dis- aeters of 1S70 2s ‘the eventa™) has passed her sntumns at Arenenberg ever since the end of the Franco-Geiman War. The chateau stauds oo a il noarly 1,500 feet in height, and commands a lovely view over the Upper Valley of cue Rhine. The house s fur- pisbed now with perfect simplicity, tbe only splendor anywhete kept np beinz about: the chapelof the chatesn. the altar farniture of whici i8 decorated with ancient and very costly laces, In thie chopel is kept the * Golden Rose™ eent by His Holiness Pias IX. some years azo {o the Empress, then reigniug at the Tuileries. 1his * Mystic Rose,” by the way, israthersn rose-tree than a 102e, and is 8 wonderful piece of goldsmith’s work. It represents a bunch of ruses with buds and leaves, tho whole, about 13 inches in height, being set in an antique vase of exquisite pa.tern, sdorned with bassi-relievi of scevean the life of Pius1X. The roses, the leaves, the vase, are ail of the purest gold, chiseled with a delicacy, and freedom, and force, wortby the best ages and.schools of art. The vase is set wupon ‘s baso of lapis-lazoli enriched with alierna'e medallions n §n!d of the Papal and the Imperial arms, aod 10 its turn supported on four small steps of Iapis-lazuli. Of conrse the ex-Empress sots the highest valae on this precious memorial®| of her sovereign days, nad of the favor with which the head of her Caarch then 23 mow re- garded her, alike a3 8 woman and ssa sovereign. Equaily treasured with the * Golden Rose.” however. is the ** Talisman of Charlemagng,” a curious souvenir of the two pgreatest Princes who have ever swayed tho destivies of modern Europe. The Bomans were passionately fond of *rtalismans,” which have been sometimes called chimere from the multiform fabulous mopster of tba name—goat. lion, and dragon 1 one—and sometimes sympicgmala, as being mado up of discordant clements embracad in ono form, and which have been kuown in more recent timos a8 grylli, from the Itslian grillo, which siguifies at once a * cricket” and a caprice. In the latter davs of Rome and the earlior days of modern history the uso of such symbclic devices carvedinstones of varions kinds and worn chiefly in rings, became very general. They wero ibought to operate as charms and to secure to the wearcr the myatic protection of the Deitv or Deities either symbol- ized or set forth plainly upon them. The stoae koown as the Talisman of Charlemagne is a species of corundum, and is believed o have been held very procions by that great sovereign.. 1t was long preserved with tho rest of the re.cs belonging to bum at Aix-le-Chapelle, sod tho Chapter of the Cathedral there proseated it, not without cogent reasons, to the modein Charle- magoe, the First Napoleon, who coustantly carried it abont with himi. The King of Rome, afterwards Doke af Reichstads, treasured it not less, and from him it passed to his cousin Louis Napoleon, who bad it sbout his person 1870, Who knows what might have happened had hetaken it with him to the field 7 On the 3d or Beptember, when the Empress made up her mind o iy from Francs, it was inclosed in a reliquary of rock-crvstal, shut in by a secret spring, which the Empress did ot understand and bad no time to search for. So with s woman's decision she caught up & pair of tongs trom the chimney-piece aud dashed the costly caseiutofragments. Shortly afterwards she con- fided it, with & large sum of money, 10 a fathial official, with orders to find the Emperor at Wilbelmshohe and give them to him. The official lost his head, and instead of setting out at ooce, went to his apartments in Paris. There he put the money and the talisman into an arraoire, the key of which be had lost, aud ths double doors of which he fzstened together by puning over them = mep of the fortifications of Paris with four pius! Then came on * theevents,” one after another, with tremendous rapidity. Tho officinl, canzht one day ont of doors, was obliged to fly for his life without going back to get sither the money or the talisman. Of course tuo Emoress in her exile, when she heard all this, imagined that the money and the talisman both must be givea up for lost, and with the trhsman the fortune of the Napoleons, the more particalarly as it was made xnown to her by the public journals that the apartments of the oflicial to whom she had confided tnem had been repeatedly ransacked both before, during, and after the Commune. Taucy ber astonishment, then, and aslicht, voen long-abandoned spartments, found tne map of the fortifications dusty indeed but undisturbod, and tho cantents of the armoire precisely 5a he Liad left them! 1t can hardly be thought strange that this should be regarded not only by the ex- Empress herself, bat by hor son and by nota few of their partisans, as a0 omen of ungues- tionable promise for their now fallen cause. SOCIAL LIFE IN GERMANY. A circumsiance has recently occurred (eays a Berlin correspondent of the London Daily News) which throws somointeresting raya of light ontho eocial life in Gormany. Among the upper ten of the Imperisl Capital there is s Herr von Schafer- Voit, who, as owner and founder of the Bazar, one of the best-gazettes of fashion published, has amassed & large fortune. Haviog distia- gunishod himself also by his ioterest in public affaire, he was some yoars since raised to the rankof nobility. His eldest son aspired to the honor of officer in the Cuiraesier Guards, one of the crack regiments of the Prussicn army. Now, althongh the officers of the regiment felt & per- sonal inclination towards the young Herr von Bebafer, they névertbeless raised certain objec- tions to his being enrolled amonyst them on ac- oount of his low descent. e Wwas therefora com- pelied to pass into s reg:ment of cairassiers of the line, whers he immediately reccived a commission. During the last war he fonght with such bravery that tho iron cross was con- ferred on him. Unfortunately, in the cavalry attack after the battle of Vionville. in which the Wostphalien cuirsssiers behaved so gallantly, the young hero, with many of hia comrades, found 8 premature death. It was re) at the time that owing to his inability to euter the regiment of hia choico Lis honor was so woanded that e himeelf rushed into destraction. Tho father was 80 deeply afilicted at<he intelligenco of lis son's death that for otime foars were entortained for his life. At the termination of the war, a5 an expression of sympathy for the loes of the the young man, those drawing-rooms proviously closed to the Schafer fomily were now thrown open. ‘The social position of tos Schafers thus gradaslly assumed a firmer footing, & circumstance parily atribotsble to the grace and clarm of the eldest daughter, constantly sur- rounded by a crowd of admirers. The Toung Lady Anally gave ear to the suis of Count Fried- rich Eulenburg, Lieutenant in the Gardes au Cn?s. an elite troop of the Emperors. The bridegroom, a descendant of oae of the oldest Prussian families, sod very rich, only intended remaining a short time longer in the army, being desirous of purewng & poittcal carcer. His en- gagement with the daughter of a parvénu ex- cited everywhere, especiatly in mulitary circles, <reat surprise, and some of his younger aristo- cratic friends, who. report stafes, had vaioly sued for the hand of the handsome Frauleiu van Schafer-Voit, went to the successfal suitor to their regret at beingz obliged. i to break on account of his mea: Altes. On the Colonel hfinfl;fl 2gaiost the Connt the latter sent him s challenge, too,—a step rendering him guilty of violation of military discipline. ~Col, von Alten immediately acquant- ed the acthorities with the case, and Count Eulenburg was cstled to account and ultimately condemned o a year's confinement in s fortress, The_sentenca now lies before the Emperor for confirmation. Although His Majesty, as well as the Royal Princes, are all in favor®f Connt Eutenburg and his betrothed, there is no proba- bilitv of tae Count escaping imprisonment, great weight being justly Iaid on & rigorons observa- tion of discipline in the army. Much coriosity is expressed to know how the Count will proceed after his release. As his condemuation does Dot affect his hooor, he can still, if he chooses, remsin in the army. He 'will probaoly prafer to be changed to snother regiment, and in 80 doing the esprit de corps of the overbear- iog Body Guards, who seck to evclude all but naole blood from their ranks, will be satisfied. The veity epirit displayed by the Prassian “ Junkera” on this occasion has created much displeasure in Liberal circles, the more ko as nothiog can be said against Fraulein von Shafer and ber family. , In the approsching session the Imperial Court will in al} likelihood embrace the opportunity of sbowing its dieplessure &t the conduct observed by the Gardes de Corps. The entire powerful fawily bave unantmously ap- proved the marriage of the yvoung Connt. By her alliance with Count Eulenburg, Fiaulein von Schafer-Voit enters also into near relatious with Prince Bismarck, whose only dauzhteris just engaged to Count Wend von Iiynleuburg. & cousin of the offender. THE DUCHESS DF. RIARIO SFORZA. A Tady who occupied a prominent position in Parisian socioty, tne Duchess de Riario Sforza. sister of the lute ML Berryer. has just died at the Chateu d’Angurville (eays the Paria correspond- ent of the London News). Bhe was the widow of one of the richest notaries in Paris, whose en- tire fortune she inherited. when she met. at the nouso of the Marguire de Boiesy, better known 28 the Countesss Guiccioli sn oid, shabbily- diessed Italian officor. who was attached o the households of Joseph Bonaparte and Murat, and had served as a Colonel in a cavalry regiment under the Empre. He was of tho iype of those Imperialist officers who frequented the Cafe Foy half & century ago. The notary’s widow seked who he was, and was surprised to hear that he was the Duke of Riario Sforza, and brotber of the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples. In the courae of converssrion she learned that be was a bachelor, and lookiog out for & ri rich wife williog to barter a fortave for a ducal coro- pet. “I'm the woman.” she said. *'Iamam- Dbitious. I detest my present name, which 18 un- supportably common, and my fortuoe is big enough to resild the Duke's baitered strawberry- lesves. Introduce him to ms, first teling him whyI want to koo¥ him.” The Duke was in- troduced. He, the Jady, and a frioud ratired to & boudoir, where the marriage articles were talked over in a thoronghly matter-of-fact way, tbe Duke stipulating for completo inde- pendecce, in fact for o separate establish- ment, with o large fortane to keep it up. All 1us conditions were complied with, and the wed- ding took placo some wooks later. Dunng bis lifetime he coutrived to bridle the fantastic tastes of the Duchess. But when he died she indulged in them to the full. She wasphenome- oally thio. It wa3 impossible for any one, snd- deniy seemng her, uot to be startled and shocked at her cadaverous appearance. Bornina hum- ble rauk of Life, she might lnve amsssed & jor- tune by eshibiting herss1f asn jemme _squelette. She was 2t & festive meeting tho death’s head of tho Egvptiac fesst. Tiongh so pasmfuliy dis- qualified by ber extraordinary emaciation from going into societv, tho Duchiess of Riario Sforza was on2 of themost social women in Pa:is almost to the time of her death, which nappened in ber 80th year. Her passion for dress was excessive, and sho invariably chose garments suited to a young married womaun. Her faith io the power of the mautus-maker and of those artists settiog up to fix the bloom of youth or restore it when it van- isbed was uobounded. Conirary to French cos- tom, she over-dressed ss much st her own balls 28 At those of her scquaintances. The only badge of widowhood she Wore—and she and it were jnseparnble—~was a kind of enameled bateh- ment, suspended from & diamoad necllace or gold chain, a3 & medallion might have been, with the heraldic quarterings and coronet of the late Dulo of Riario Sforza. As she gave sumptuous dinners, and had on marrying re- tained the power to dispose of nearly £16,000 sterliog 8 year, people took care not to Isagh at her sbsurd vauity and whims. She was very suspicious old lady, and, to keep a vigilant watch over the looks and gestures of her guests, had the mirrors of the drawing-room eo arranged that she could see from her fanteuil everythiog that took plase behiud her back. No servant or tradesman wus ever known to please her a weelk. She had her palatial mansion at Passy pulled down and rebuilt three times in the course of fourteen veurs, and just before her death she was thioking of demolishingit again. The tor- ment of the Parisian architects and honee deco- Tators, she was a kind of providence for the ma- 8ons, to stimulate whom to activity she often allowed double wagea. Fortune tellers, chiro- wantists, and dealers of other kindsin occnlt and saperoatural causes will miss the emaciated Dachess, wh patronized thew during both hor widowhooda. A notorious tireur do cartes pre- dicted that she would take for her third husband a Noyal Price, bluo-sved. fair-baired, rich 28 Crmsus, and devoted to her. Tha tronble eho was at to fuldll the prophecy may bave helpod to kill her. Wheraver the Prince who she fau- cied was to bezome her spouse went she followed Lim. If she heard he was going to the thea:rs, she at once hed a box taken, On Chantilly days she drove to the Northern Railway aod statiooed herself in the line of private carriagas beforo the torminus, to bow 0 them as ho passed. She crossed his path in the Bois de Boulogne, on Longchamps ~days, and when at death’s doar made a poinc of attending the soirees to which she kmew ho was invited. The infant grand- child of the late M. Berryer will, it is believed, suoceed to her property. CHOICE FRENCH WINES. Grest preparations (says tha Paris correspond~ ent of the Now York Zimes) are taken with three or four vintages in France, and tho endangeurs are not recruited from the ordinary run of such laborers. Thoy are all picked mon, very well paid, and are made fo understand that they occupy positions of trust. Take Clos-Vougeot, for example, the first quality of wine produced in the world. and held at s price which places it beyond the reach of sl but a few crowned heads and archi-millionaires. The vintage of the Clos- Vougeot i8 a3 solemn aa a religions ceremony. and the men are made 1o understand that every clus- ter of grapesis worth about its weight in gold. Yot even the confidential agenta employed to gather the grapes have to do so under the oyes of inspectors, aud a strict guard is kept over the baskets. Every year s compauy of eoldiera ar- rive from Dijon, and sre posted a8 sentinels about the vineyard and about the buildings in which the grapes are stored. A powder mage- zine or 2 Iot of cavalry forage could not be more carefully guarded. The sofdiors have orders to srrest any men tsking a singlo grape. This guard is kert up until the wine-is put in bottles. As Clos-Vougeot 1s sold all over the world, and at prices far bolow those paid for it on the spot, one naturally presumes that it is not all genwine. Ishould be extremely suspicious of almost any Clos-Vougeot offored for sale st reagonavle prices, and perhaps those wno do not know the peculiar marks of .the vintage would do vwell to lake some other brand. Bt thero s en in the of Fraace, aud which is really o superior wine. There is Chatesu-Lafitte. also, of thich enor- mous quantities are sold. That wioe, on the spot, &t wholesale, 18 torth from £3.50 t5 34 por bottfe, but yet genuino wines of this vintago can be purcbased for lesa. The sccret is in tho different pressings. The first quality is made after o very light pressing of the granes, The second quslity' is made from the juice that comes from & harder pressing, snd Wwhich con- tzins some of the pulp of the grape, and a slight flavor of thesiin. A harder preasing crushes some of tho seeds a8 well as the akins, and this forms a genuine Chatean-Lafitte, but of the third qualitv. The greater portion of the wine sold uader this namg, Lowever, comes from the surrounding vineyards, all of which produce an excellent quality of wine. ; Tt is needless to say that the wine crop is the ‘most importaat of all in France, its value largely exceedmg tuat of all kinds of grain. Ib ordi- nary yoaru it is estimated at considerably over two miltards of franca. _For twonty years ita ex- portation alone has hada mesu vaiue of two hundred and fifty millions of francs, and in 1873 France goid three hundred miflions" worth of her wines. In addition to this there ia gixty millions’ worth of brandy. The viotage contributes throe Lundred and fifty oéd milliona to the budget of the States, besides paying lsrge sums in octroi taxes fothetovns in which itis_consumed. From these estimates one can readily compre- hend the general interest taken in the aunual vintage, for a superior wine crop means pational prosperity.

Such Will Be the Attire of the Gentle- man Who Trades at These Hounses. Where a Man May Be Well Dressed. ROCHE & CO. O the necessity of being well dressed there seoms little uge in arguing. Everybody admits it. The crastiest, - most slovenls-attired of mortals, though be may growl his defiance of the fuct, and assort that ho “*don’v care a cent how he looks,” is still indircot!y influenced by a good euit of clothes. The well-dressed man melts the growler's obdurate heart and finds his way straight to its tenderest spot. But to be well dressed by no means implies that one must have tho richest of maserials or must be arrayed in pronounced designs. Substantial material, stylishly cut and durablo in make, i enongh.
