At the time of our story, there was an auction store near the Bourse. The Viscount Robert H. der -was . i i ;., Tm xZ I tZ lTl of 25,000 hvres, it, good looks, an il- lustrious marrage. He ought to nare been the happiest man in the world. He only had one regret. He had nothing to do.. "He was unhappy at his happiness. The constant tranquillity of life fatigued hipa. He needed a little bitter in his cup of perpetual sweets. But heaven refused to grant it to him. He resolved to fly to other lands,there to keep the fatigues, the sufferings, the novelties he lacked. So, five years ago, he entered by chance an auction room, just as they were putting up a capital portable writing-desk. He was about to travel, and it was just what he needed ; so he bought it for three hundred francs. It probably cost more than ten times that sum. In the interior there were compartments for everything, and a plate bore the names tf Lord N- one or the richest peers of England. He vvas enchanted jvith his purchase, and carnea 1 m t 1 I m t ll it ncme m tnpppn. pome cays aiter ne -. i . - t n r i . s et opt for Spain ; as he vent from Mad- r.u to aaiz, ne ivjts gtopea pj ipjgyps, r3- l i !. vno ccuipietejy nespouea uim. ine d- ly thug he missed was his desk. e . . . . prayed them to return it. lhey refused, bpt their chief, Pon Jose $Iaria, prom ised to send it p.fter him to Cadiz, on re ceipt of a ransom.

Arrived at the frontier rhich sepa- rates France from Belgium, he fell into the hands of the customhouse cfrkfrs. Some days before some skilful fellows had defrauded the customs to a consid erable amount, consequently the officers were on their guard. The search was long, and the Vis Count became furious.

'No ! but there are ambassadors who smuggle without scruple." The search continued, and the. Vis count was astonished to see the officers open drawers in his desk, the existence of which he was ignorant. At last, tun of" impatience, he wished to reclaim It. "ow, that you hay seen . all " said he, "let us not prolong this unpleasan1 invesiigatien." "What do you say, sir ?" 'I say you have seen all, and know that I have nothing contraband." "Your coolness, sir, makes me pity you. Have you nothing to bring forth ? If you do so you will be freed by paying the dues ; if not, and I find anythtng there will be a confiscation and a fine." "But you have seen all." "Perhaps.' "What do you mean by perhaps?" "It is well made. Any ope but myself might have been deceived." "But I swear to you that you have seen all." "Why deceived me ? I am going to prove the contrary?" "If you find anything else, I'll swear I know nothing of it." "A poor excuse. . I warn you that I do not believe you." - "Let us finish this bad joke."

What to do now? He could only think' that the maker of the desk bad placed the money there, or it was there deposited by the Spanish robbers who stole it. The maker at London wrote that ha knew nothing of it and the Viscount learned that the Spanish robbers had all been hung long since. Ah ! it was deposited in the desk by the Mexicans. He went to Mexico, whence he returned two months ago. He there discovered that one of those into whose hands it had fallen was a I .

The Viscount continued his search, and at last found one day at Vera Cruz a very pretty young girl of seventeen, tne daughter of the Mexican by a French WOman, who had come tp Vera Cruz as a milliner. jn answer to his questions, she told bira lj3at faey? nothing of her father, tut he had beest killed by a Texas ran- ger. She was excessively pretty, and, like a sensibie fellow, he married her; ancj having at last something to do, re- turned to Paris with her to enjoy the fortune of which a singular chance had put bim into possession.

Her home is in Richmond. Gen, TJxton procured her a carriage, and she went along with us to Macon and thou went North. By evening we were jn position before Girard and Columbus, waiting for the first brigade to come up. The rebels seemed quite uneasy all the afternoon, throwing shell at us every few minutes, which mostly yej)t overdoing but little damage. The rebels had 3 brigades across the Chatahoochee. The 7.h Ohio came near riding right across the lower one and scared the rebels that they set it on fire, Their works, which were midable and would have been difficult to take'had they beei) defended by the right kind of men. General Upton said he would take . ... ... that place before he selpt, or leave that part of the country as far as possible be- .. fore morning, and I confess I ihought the chance of leaving was toiierabiy fair, as I could see their lines all along our front with good breast-works, plenty pf artillery and a good deal neavier guns than we had.
