It well known that tho ' Empress
Eugenie has taken a most active part in
the drama which is now so rapidly de
veloping in Europe ; that fho has been
most energetio in advocating the present
war agjiust Prussia's arrogance, and in
usmtich as she nsay possibly euccumb to
the terrible strain npon lier physical and
mental powers, great us they undoubtedly
arc, a sketch ot her life may be accept
able at this juncture.
The Empress Eugenic was born of
Countess Tlieba de Monrijo, and is a di
rect descendant of an Irishman by the
name of Kirkpatrick, a wirrcbant of
wines an . fruits at M alaga, Kirkpatrick
had four daughters, of whom the young
est was distinguished already at at early
age, uot only by her great personal beauty
but by her extraordinary talents aud
accomplishments. Accident liuide her
uctjuamted with a former Spanish officer
ol artillery, the Count de .Mol.tijo. Ho
was poor, but belonged to the oldest
ans.ucracy of Spain, and Miss Kirkpat
rick lenioved to Madrid, and entered iho
highest social circles as Couutess de
Moiuijo. Eugenie, the present Empress
of the French, is oue of her daughters.

ended.
Whaterer may have been the decision
as to the success of the Fair of 1871',
there can be no difference of opinitin iu
regard to the manner in which the busi
ness of the Fair has been conducted- A
better, more affable, polite aud accommo
dating ee of officers, all through, are not
to be found. They have labored hard to
make the occasion one of interest to all.
In arranging the premiums, they endeav
ored to do justice to all classes ; to pro
mote the besCrnferests of tbir community,
they gave the largest premiums to the
most worthy objects. For their efforts
to benefit the community they should re
ceive the hearty thanks of all.
. The leesons taught by the present Fair
will be treasured up for the benefit of the
next annual gathering. Many and im
portant suggestions will receive attention
then, all tending to perfect and lend ad
ditional attraction to future Fairs of the
Linn County Agricultural Association.
