THE AUSTRIAN EMPRESS.
Her mnjritty In the Saddle, Following
the Hounds of Sir Wntklii Wynn In
Cheshire—A Narrow ttKcnpe.
iSVti’ York llrnthl.
WniTcnunon, Kng., Fob. sw.—Tho Empress of
Austria lost no time after her arrival in (’he
siilru lu betaking herself to her favorlt pursuit.
Three days of Incessant railway anil steamboat
traveling scorned only to have whetted her ap
petite for tho chase, and on tho morning after
she reached Combcrmloro sho was out with the
Cheshire bounds. This, however, was n private
meet, held In honor of tho illustrious visitor by
Mr. Corbett, and Iho first fair opportunity of
seeing " tho Empress” which tho good folks of
Cheshire and Shropshire had was on Saturday,
when sho went to ’hunt with Kir
Walklu Wynn's famous puck. Sir Wat
kin Wynn—locally known as tho “ Prince
in Wales," to distinguish him from
another popular potentate—ls tho head of
n very ancient Welsh family and Is lord over a
princely domain. Tho Wyiumby Arms Is tho
commonest of signs fur tho village inn In this
neighborhood, and like a generous magnate Sir
Wntkln provides for tbo amusement of his
neighbors by keeping, at his own cost, a line
pnekof hounds and a magnificent bunting es
tablishment. Mnccfen, the resilience of the
Hon. Edward Kenyon, was fixed far tho meet at
which her Majesty hud promised to appear, and
long before tho appointed tune—lt o’clock—lho
roans lending to tho house were alive with
vehicles of all kinds, tho majority of them filled
with ladles. As tho hour drew near the hunting
men might be seen Jogging along In twos and
threes In tho old-fashioned, picturesque hunting
dross of scarlet coal, silk tint, and white leather
breeches, completed by the national tup bouts.
The crowd of horsemen, footmen, uud carriages
took up their places In u large field adjoining
Mueofun House, uud so tho lawn was left open
for tho Imperial party. A few minutes buluro
tho hour they drove up In two carriages.
In the first—u pair horse huntlug
brougham—wore tbo Empress and hernmid, who
always attends her ou suoh occasions with a
change of clothing, and following this came cm
opcu brake containing Cupt. Middleton, I’rlnuo
Lichtenstein, and some other members of tbo
Imperial snllo. As soon ns they arrived at
Mneofen House tho Empress ami her friends
entered tbo dining-room, whore a hunting
breakfast was ready for a largo party, most of
whom were presented to her Majesty by dipt.
Middleton. Nothing is more pleasing than tho
Empress’ manner under such circumstances.
When sho goes hunting she gees emphatically
like any other lady. She enters to tno full Into
nil tho good fellowship whlub exists In tho hunt
lug field. Khu shows none of tho distant reserve
or tho court, but gives kindly and affable greet
ing to nil who como lit contact with her. Kuo
never omits to suy a few graceful words to tho
huntsman, generally in tho form of nn Inquiry
after his puis tho hounds, uud tho peasant who
opens u gate or assists Iter in nay way has always
•good cause to remember tho kindliness us well
us the liberality of her Majesty. In fact, as an
euthuslnsiiu person said to mu on Katurduy,
•• Übu's a thorough good sportsman."
And wlmt a splendidly handsome woman she
Is still 1 WJien, after n little delay In tho house,
sho rode up tho avenuo to Join tbo rest of the
field, on her handsome buy horse Kititilnwcr. tho
spectators were fairly astonished. If she looked
well in her wulklng*drcss at tho railway station,
showiut now a perfect picture on horseback.
Tull and slim, with tbo most perfect of tlumes,
and a waist that a pair of not very large hands
could span, she bus a sent lit tho saddle that Is a
model for grace uud strength. Kitting welt buck
In her saddle, as straight os arrow, sho controls
bor horse with tho light and confident touch of
a consummate horsewoman. Kho may not be, as
some of bor admirers liavo called her, "tho
finest horsewoman In Europe,"—some of tbo
professional lady riders who exhibit their skill at
tho great horse-shows would no doubt rival If
not excel her lu tho task of forcing an unwilling,
111-tempered brute to go straight across couu
try,—but no one can see her In tho saddle with
out admitting that she Is a most finished
equestrienne, and the determined way in
which she rides to hounds shows that she
bus no luck of nerve and pluck. At bur
suddlo-l>ow Is fixed a peculiar little leather ease
which contains a fan, and without this feminine
rcquislt sho never goes out limiting. Hut her
entire outfit Is something for ladles to dream of
with helpless envy. Hueh u woll-llUlng habit
was never seen. Uf blue cloth, and trimmed
round iho neck and cults with raccoon fur, It
lilted her exqtilsit figure without a crease or
wrinkle, mid Urn skirt was eat so unjust to cover
tho hunting-boot with Its spurred heel. Uuuud
Iter neck situ wore a regulation while silk hunt
ing scurf fasted with a gold pin. and her luxu
riant fair bnir was done up In some wonderful
knot, which 1 emmet describe, at (ho buck of
her bead, beneath tho narrow-brimmed silk lint
which is do rlgueur fur ladles us well as gentle
men lu Iho hunting-field. This style of head
dress shows otr excellently her pale,
eleur-ent features, with tho wonder
ful dark eyes, which have lost none
of their brilliancy, and never shine more
brightly than when they are lit up with tbo excite
ment uf tho chase. Tho aitomhmts upon her
wore Mr. Kenyan, bor host; Hlr Wntkln Wynn;
and, us a nmtior of course, her faithful guide,
Cant. Middleton. Ktopping fornniinnto on her
way, she said a few words to Payne, tho hunts
man, who then rode otr to sends bis bounds Into
tho covert. Thu Empress went on and rodo
slowly along the lino of sightseers, mounted end
on tout, till sho reached a position beyond tho
crowd, when. 1 she hulled while tbo hounds were
"drawing” tho gorse. In tho short delay that
ensued one had time to look round the "field,"
and it was a sight well worth seeing. There
wero certainly over IMG men on horseback, for
tho most purl admirably mounted, and busbies
Ibusu there was a vast multitude on foot uud on
wheels. Among tho mounted division were
most of Iho principal gentry uud bard riding
fox-hunters of tho district.
Hut. happily, wo had nut lung to wait at the
covert slue. A blast of the horn was heard from
tho lower end of tho gorse, uud a welcome cry
of "Clone away, gone away," imtclatmod that
tho game was iiinnl. At ottuu all was life hi tho
crowd which a minute before had been standing
still, uud there was a tremendous rush of horse
men uud footmen toward a gate lending Into tho
park In front of tho bouse. At this Juncture
‘‘Hay" Middleton showed how well ho Is quali
fied for his odlco of ullot. Tho fox hud broken
from tho covert toward tbo front of Mullfuti
House, and lu Ibis dlroetlen tbo disorderly mob
'of men aud horses were making their ways but
ou that side there was no chutico of getting u
fair start, ottd accordingly the Captain turned
hlaburso short round through u gate that led
lilto u meadow ut tho buck of (bo house, and her
Majesty promptly followed him. Net more than

(Melted faces told n dliferont tale, l-’or wo
were fortunate enough to catch thorn.
Thu fox had started up wind, and otter going
stralj'ht fornlimii ten minutes he followed tho
Invariable Instinct of bis race to gel tho wind In
his favor, nnd wheeled round In one direction,
thoroughly Justifying CapU Middleton's move at
tho tho start. And so before very lomr tho Km*
, press was In her favorlt plnee, close to tho
hounds. And beside her, 111 tho delightful rlvnl*
ry of tho chase, rode Home of tho keenest horse
men In Cheshire. MaJ. Ilnlkeley had managed
to get clear ot tho crowd nt tho covert, and. ns
usual, helil his place in the front rank. Hlr
Wutkln Wytm, In Fpito of his tail frame and
heavy weight. charm'd hodgo and ditch boldly in
tho wuko of his lumndsj'and Payne, tho bums
man, riding as If ids life tlopcuded on It, had
never left hM pets from tho moment they found
tho fox. And so tho chase went on
merrily over tho broad pnsturc-HeUM nnd
through tho deop plowed land, where ihs
horses sank almost tin to their hocks.
At ono point n forbidding •* tmliilneb *'
barred tho way. Now u ••Imllllneh” M

trable-looking feneo and rushed through, leav
ing little trmre trace of her pussajre than a bird,
though thoglossy silk hat was considerably milled
hi tho operation. Alltile further she gave still
clearer proof of her lino riding, and of tho pres
ence of mind which never deserts her in the
Held. Out of n heavy plccoof plowed land, a
mure than usually high and strong hedge bail to
be Jumped with tho invariable wot ditch. Iter
Majesty’s horse, laboring through tho deep
ground, was unable to got sulllcicntpneu on at
the Jump, and, though lie managed to tret over,
he was unable to keep hla feet at the other side
mid fell heuvllv mi hM nose. Hero it was that
tho rider's admirable nerve came Into play. Mud
shebeen thrown forward by tho shook on tho
horse's neck, ns a bad rider would have been,
tho animal would have had no chance of recov
ering hM feel, nnd would probably have
rolled over, perhaps crushing bis rider. Hut tho
(impress never lost her self-possession font
second, keeping her scat unmoved In tho sad
dle, and throwing her weight ns far back as pos
sible, she left her horse free to struggle to his
feci, knowing well that any Interference with
tho bridle at smm a moninnl'cmild only do harm.
The ceiHeuviPiico was. that what might have
been a scrums lull was avoided, nnd in another
minute tho horse was striding along ns freely as
ever. . •
Cant- Middleton, however, nas a keen sense of
his responsibility for bis charge's safety, and he
took advantage of u' check .which occurred im
mediately after to Insist on her Majesty mount
ing a fresh horse. When so good u (motor us
tliu ono she had been riding makes a blunder It
M almost Invariably tho result of fatigue unused
by galloping fast through heavy, wet ground,
and, ns tho (impress always brings out two or
three horses, it would lie folly lo risk n serious
nnd possibly fatal fall. Accordingly she and
her pilot rodo away to n neighboring house—the
residence of MMs l.argl—them lo wait while her
hunting groom. Torn Meaty,-an Irishman like
most of her servants, rodo ott In. search of the
second horse.
The fox led us through vcVy heavy ground,
strongly fenced, past the qhalnt. old-fashioned
Village of Mnlpas, and on toward WhUeelnirch,
until he found refuge in a drain, after u run
which altogether bad Instw'over two hours.
Her Majesty was unfortunately unable to gut
lieraceund horse soon enough to Join lu tho lust
part of the run. As her servants nro all either
Irishmen or Austrians, they nm quite Ignorant
of tho locality, and were riding about asking
tholrwayof all they met. 'However, she ap
peared on a very handsome chestnut nt tho close
of tho run, when the light grooms enmo up with
tliolr masters’ second hordes, and sandwiches
and tlnsks were the order of the day.

hours' (mil from Washington to Mount Vernon.
As tbo summer approaches tbo place tbo bell
tolls, in obedfoneu tun custom begun by Com*
modoro Gordon, wbo ordered tho bell of tbo
Ilrltlsh llag-shlp fc'eu-llorso to bo tolled on puss*
lug Mount Vormon on tbo Ullli of August, 1311.
To-morow Is tbo birthday of,, Washington, and
Boiiio account of bis home as It now exists
nmy bavo Interest for tbo render. Tho Ural
thing ouotoupbosou tbo estAlo is of historical
Interest—tbo old dock fronVwhlch Washington
used to launch bis barges and ship tbo Hour
known us tbo “Mount Vernon” brand, which
was tbo best In Colonial dayp. It is with a rev
erential fooling Hint Americans Ural Bet foot on
tbo pathway that loads into tbo grounds, ond at
the bend of which, about JiiW yards from tbo
dock, is the tomb. Parties uneovor their heads
as they near it, as tins been tbo custom for n
number of years, and, tbouKb tbo cold wind
plays through tho hair In tb|s season, patriotic
feel lugs are uppermost In snob a place. Tbo
tomb structure Is about twelve foot high. It
was In accordance with a clause in Washington's
will that bis executors bud bis tomb “built
of brink," and plainly, and it stands os
a ‘ monument to bis . unostentatious,
and prudent nature. Thoro are a wide
archway and double Iron gates at tbo on
tmuco to tbo tomb, ami overhead Is a plain slab
on which Is thlA Inscription: "Within this in*
elosuru rest tho renmlns of Oon. George Wash
ington.” Tbo tomb bas been twice •violated.—
once In 13:11, whun a man broke into ttio old
tomb, before tbo present one was built, and
stolo n skull, which bo claimed wan that of
Washington, but which was found to bo that of
a relative. It was on account of a feeling of
Insecurity that tho present tomb was creeled,
but oven this has beuu desecrated. Homo
wanton person, perhaps In search of relies,
climbed over tho Iron gateway during (ho Civil
War and broke one of tho talons from the eagle
in thocoat*of*unns on Washington's sarcopha
gus. Tho body was placed In this sarcophagus
on Got. 7,1K17, wtiun tbo door of tbo inner vault
was cloned and tho key thrown Into tho Potomac.
Congress more than once bas tried to have
bis remains transferred to a receptacle beneath
tbo erypt of tbo Capitol, which was designed
for that purpose, but (be family went per
sistent In tbelr refusal, us such a public resting
place, they said, would not accord with Wash
ington's well-known reticence ond modesty.
Tho soldiers of both armies often mot before
this tomb, It Is said, during tbo late War. but
tbuy always obeyed the servants' requests to
leave their arms at tbo porter's lodgo. Thu old
tomb wits very much simpler than tbo present
one, and Is seen further along tho path and near
tbo bouse. It commanded a view of tho river,
and was nut at all a secluded spot. Tula Is said
to bo tho reason why Washington made tbo re
quest lu his will to have the family vault ru
movod,which request was net obeyed for twenty
eight years, uml thou only when prompted by
the tint desecration, which wo have mentioned.
It was before this tomb that Lafayette was pre
sented with a gold ring containing seme of
Washington's hair by Mi. Custls In lict, whither
be bud come to pay u tribute of respect to tho
man lie loved and by whom he was loved. La
fayette bad a chamber hi tho old Washington
homestead, and on each of his visits, while his
f reat friend was alive, and while he was not uet
vo engaged, be made bis stopping-place hero.
Further along tho path is a large onk, tree,
under which Washington wni fond of resting,
it is twelve feet In circumference, and bos lost
some of Its glory lu a severe storm. After a
walk of ten minutes from me wharf one comes
to (be old mansion, with Its kitchens, barns, and
other outbuildings around H In primeval Vir
ginia style. It stands on a high plateau uml
trouts eastward, overlooking the Potomac,
where Washington was wont to indulge In bis
favorit pastime of shooting ducks, winch arc
still abundant In this vicinity. On this river,
too, his large barge, rowed by six stalwart negro
■laves, was often seen Li Colonial days, and his
tory records him us being nu ardent aquallo
sportsman. It was on this shore that he caught
u pot-huntorouu day making sad buvoe with tho
canvas-backs. Hu proceeded toward the man,
who raised bU gun at the great joldlor, expect
ing to drive him away, Imi. noting daunted by
Ibis menace, he sprang upon tbo man and gave
him a thrashing that probably afterward
made him seek other places more favorable for
bis 001-lmntmg propensities. Bunding in front
of tho old mansion tho view nlfonlod Isa hue
one. uml one docs not wonder that Washington
said, "No estate in America Is so tdoasuntlv sit
uated." A llr«t ghinco at the old bouse con
vinces one that time has thoroughly wrought Its
task ou the old wooden walls, but on sounding
them one llmls tbo wood still Inagood state, and
It Is likely, that although It boa been standing
since mJ, U will still outlast many a modern
structure for which durability is claimed. Go
tho ground door, on cither side of the spacious
ball, are (bo family diuing-rooin. tbo parlor, and
tbo library. Bomu of tbo original furniture is
■till In these rooms, having been returned, ut
the request of the custodians, by those to whom
it was given by tbo family. Tbo ladles wbo have
the old estate lu charge are endeavoring to get
possession of us many of tbu original hu
ll res us possible, and they have been
quite successful. Ou the - aoor-uoat of the
rM-opdon-room, hi n glass case, nangs
tlio key of the Hostile. wnlclt was pr«*s/*nt»*d
to Wu-diington by Lafayette nfter Rs overthrow
by him In O'*. Tills redo wn>* confided to tho
••are of Thomas Paine, who. being detained In
London, real it to Washington by n (rlead. It
wits received by Wnrhlllgton its a bli/li compli
ment to tho principles which he nd\ ocated, lor,
ns Paine said, “(hr? principles of America
opened (ho llastlle.” In the rcceptlon-room
there is a fac-simile of tho agreement of Lafay
rile to servo In the Continental army. In It he
agreed to serve without recompense, on condi
tion that he bo allowed tend urn to bis native
country whenever called by his family or King.
Over tho door of tho parlor In a spy-glass used
by Within this room, which is well
preserved, Is a harpsichord which cent Washing
ton sfl.tNN), and which ho presented to his step
daughter on her wedding-dav. There used to
In* a largo ease of relics in this room, but It has
been removed to another. It contained a sword,
a Unto, a mourning suit of clothes, a compass
urn) tripod, and other personal property of
Washington. Tho Masonic apron which Lafay
ette wore Is also here.
In tho north extension Is tho old ,state dining
room. for there arc two dlnlug-rooms. ns wull as
two kitchens. Thu oidcf onmmout m ibis room
Is the mantelpiece, which Is of Carrara marhlo,
with Sienna marble columns. Our guide tells us
an incident which Is connected with lids fixture.
It was wrought in Italy, and was presented to
Washington by an English gentleman. When It
was on Its way to this country it fell Into tbo
hands of French pirates, who, when they bad
been made aware or tho name of Us consignee,
allowed it to bo sent to it* dostinatlon. It Is
elaborately carved, and said to bo tho work of
Canovit. In (ho dimng-room Is also n lino speci
men of tea-wood, which waa placed in Its pres
ent position by John Augustine Washington,
and n liquor-case presented bv Lord Fairfax,
with whom Washington was very friendly, al
though (be Lord was old enough to be bis father.
It Is said that bo was fond of having Fairfax
with him when on one of those long fox-hunts
of which his biographers speak, and of
which lie was passionately fond, always keeping
n blue-blooded pack of hounds and line stock,
tbo written pedigrees ol some of which are still
Preserved, It wuh his intimacy with Lord Folr
ax and other aristocratic Englishmen (bat ex
erted such an iuliucneo on hla tastes, and. Al
though he was economical about most of his ex
penditures, this virtue did not apply to his re
quirements for outdoor pastimes, ns Is proved
by letter orders on his London agents fur riding
equipments. In thu dining-room Is also an
equestrian portrait of Washington by Hombromk
Punic, n chair which catno to this country with
tho Pligilms lu the May (lower, and many other
relies of less note. In the lajnlly dlnlug-mom is
u portrait of (ho Karl of (,'lmilmin. It Is placed
In tbo exact spot where Washington hunga pict
ure depleting bis death shortly after that occur
rence. The library Is u plain room, od three sides
of which nro closets and shelves, outside of
which arc glass doors. There are none of tho
original contents of this room In It now, tho
books having been purchased from tho heirs of
hls nephew, llushrnd Washington (lo whom thoy
were bequeathed), by the Heston Athomcum, in
IHlii, for 9-VNNi. Most of tho books have his au
tograph on their tly-leavcs. One of tho books
which Washington guarded with sacred rover
onoowas a copy of air Matthew Hale’s “ Con
templations." From this book ,hls mother
taught him tho moral truths which became tbo
principle* of bis alter life. It Is said that It Is
preserved, and runtalns her autograph. Tbo
room oit tho left at tho head of tbo stanch old
stairway Is tho one that was assigned to Lafay
ette. It contains many Ibamlutlunury relics
and old paintings. Homo of too original furni
ture has been restored.
There ary live or six rooms on tho second floor,
but tho one or greatest Interest Is that in which
Washington tllod. wherein Is tbobed on which be
died, dressed In tho old-tlmo stylo. A liurenu
stands in this room which was used by Washing
ton nt bis headquarters on tho Hudson. It has
been deprived of Us Inst brass knob by seekers
of mementoes. On tho wall Is a copy of ibo
Now York .Wcmmfffr Ath'erlber of Don. 21. ITtW,
that contains a notice of Washington's death,
which occurred Dee. It, 17W, between tho bmirs
of II and H! o'clock nt night. There was an old
Virginia custom of stinttlug up ibo room In
which unv one died for mm year, and the widow
chose tho room directly above bis for herself,
and here she spent tho major part of her time,
lor from Its windows she could view tho resting
pluco of bergroat husband. A piece bad been
sawed from the door to admit her pet cat. In
this room she died Just eighteen months after
her husband. It contains only one piece of
the original furniture,—a plain mahogany
wustmund. There Is an octagonal cupola
on tho house, tho Inside of which has been
carved so often with the initials of visitors that
thorn Is not a square Inch of tho side woodwork
which Ims not been marred In this way. Ono of
tho paintings on a lower door was disfigured by
a woman not long ago. who tore a piece from It.
but tho fragment has been returned. From tho
cupola a tine view of tho estate can bo had, nod
although tho trees and shrubbery are not orna
mental at this season, they ut;c so plentiful and
stately that one can easily form an Idea of Us
loveliness In summer. 'Pills demesne comprised
K.utK) acres originally, but the present custodians
ImvconlytSW acres under.their control. Tho
care that was taken of tho domestics mid labor
ers can be Judged from fhosubstuntlalutid com
fortable buildings designed fur their use. Theru
are also kitchen-houses, stables, mills, barns,
and workshops. Thu plnco where Washington
worked mi tho plow which he Invented, and
which, after two or throe failures, he was site
cessfnl with, still stand*. It Is said that, with
less than Uls usual gmal Judgment, ho put bis
chariot team before this plow and run great risk
of spoiling thorn.
In tho •• West Lawn” are many trees of Inter
| estiug associations. There are u magnolia
brought by Washington from ibo .lames Itlver
and planted by him in tho year he died, andush
nud'poplar irons, also planted by him. There tiro
four trees which Jefferson presented tj Wash

Naturalizing a Negro—.l California
Court Conlora CltlzetmUlp Upon a
Native of Bonogaiublo.
Baa Jut* (Cat.) Mercury.
Jefferson C. Davis, a native of Bonognmbla.
Africa, applied for citizenship In Department 1
of tho Superior Court yesterday. A question
has boon raised with regard to tho eligibility of
aliens of the African taco to tho operation of
tho Naturalization laws. Judge Holden examined
the United Stales Naturalization laws, mid thou
prepared an opinion, of which tho following Is
tho lull text: *• In tho mutter of the applica
tion of Jefferson 0. Davis to bo naturalized.
The applicant appeared In open Court, accom
panied by his witnesses, and established to tho
satisfaction ot tho Court that he was a mnlvu
of Sooegumbla. Africa: that he came to
tho United Btates when he was about
13 years of age: that he bus
ever since resided In tho United States, and (bat
be possesses tho moral requlslts to entitle him
to naturalization. Much question bavimr been
made as to whether *dhor persons than those of
tho white race wore eligible to naturalization,
tho Court postponed tho oath of citizenship to
eouslder this question. An examination ol tho
naturalization laws plains Hut mutter beyond
even discussion. In 1h74 tho Naturalization laws
of tho United Slates wore revised, amended, and
reenacted by Congress, and a general ami com
prehensive system of naturalization provided
taking the place of all antecedent legislation
upon this subject. As part of tblsgeovral law,
Bee. 1,16 U p/ovidei! ‘The provisions of this title
shall apply to all aliens of African nativity and
to persons of African descent.’ No argument
Is needed to explain this provision, nor could
tho must elaborate discussion render Its purpose
or purport any clearer. The applicant
Is entitled to naturalization, and will bo sworn
In as u citizen u|nm presenting himself before
tho Court. It may bo added that la my upliiluu
tho decisions which deny this privilege to In
dividuals of tho Mongolian race are greatly
•irengtbaued by this special clause above
quoted. It clearly Implied tho construction
of Iho law-makers that lu tho general provls-
lon* of (bo net. other tbnn tbo white or Cau
casian race wore not Included, forbad they heed
this )>ec(lou would not Imvo been required, and
It further clearly Indicates Us legislative pur*

Mr. Fronde, wbo appears to have ntnu-j ly neg

verbal rudeness. Tho last thing they would

terity all tho ctmllttlonsof their spleen. Carlyle
was mi exception to tbo rule, and a notorious
one at that, four Charles Lamb may* have been
overfond of spirits, yet ho lived at an mte when
every otic drank heavily. Ho had n tendency
to insanity, and was obliged to care for a sister,
who hi a fit of insanity actually killed her
mother, and a father wbo was a terrible bore,
i'el he did his full duty to both, and bis gonial

solitary exhibition of his malevolence. Ills
verbal eccentricities gave him more prominence
