PRINCE NAPOLEON.

Prince Napoleon has visited Turin, and has had a long
conference with the King of Italy. The purport of this
interview is, of course, merely matter of conjecture at
present, but the Paris correspondent of the Advertiser
thinks he has hit upon the solution. This writer says
Prince Napoleon has gone to confer with King Victor
Emmanuel on the candidature of the Duke of Aosta, the
King's second son, for the throne of Spain. The
Emperor would not exactly like this choice, but it would
be less disagreeable than many others. The King of
Italy, however, will not hear of it. It is feared that
Prince Humbert will have no children—rather a
premature conclusion, as he has been married only a
few months—and it is therefore desirable to keep the
second son disengaged, lest the dynasty may be sacrificed.
Prince Napoleon's mysterious manner of running about
Europe gives rise to the strangest conjectures. His
resemblance to the great Napoleon is so close as to be proof
against disguise, and we constantly hear of his being recog-
nised in one place when he was supposed to be in another.

71IE "NEW YORK TRIBUNE," AS 4
CAMPAIGN PAPER.

There is some curious information in the New
York Tribune about the election campaign. " The
Rebels held a meeting in Pleasant Grove, Kansas,
on the 7th. A vote taken after the meeting resulted
in 120 for Grant and 40 for Seymour." Judging
from their votes these were " Grant rebels," all
animal we now hear of for the first time. " A
vote for President was taken on board the steamer
United States, Captain J. C. Babbitt, on her pas-
sage from Plattsburg to Whitehall, on Thursday
evening, the 17th Sept., resulting as follows :--47
for Grant and 17 for Seymour. Grant's majority
17." Our arithmetic does not bear out this
calculation ; and we recommend the author of
these figures to leave the public to work out
the results for themselves. Here is another
instance. On the 18th of September the result
of the ballot was " 37 for Grant and 16 for Ser
mour. Grant's majority, twenty-three. In th,a
latter instance one man refused to declare hialse';
in apparent shame. lle was immediately credited
to Seymour." Take our advice Horace, and Put
an extinguisher over the man who makes these cal-
culations, or no one will place the slightest faith iuthe Tribune's figures, which would be unfortunate,
considering that its leading columns are mainly o°'
cupied in blazing abroad its own merits, and the
huge figure at which the people estimate them. The
Weekly of Sept. 23 heads an article, " Two 1111,..11‘
dred and Forty Thousand," and continues in te
highfaluten line to explain what that means, Ina'
ing our mouth water :
"Let us glance at the magnitude of the business. TM
Tribune is printed on a sheet measuring 37 by 471 Wile"
Tribune
65 pounds a ream. One issue of 210,000 copies
of The 'Weekly alone requires 480 reams —5OO sheet:
'
each—at 65 pounds to the ream, making the total weigl'"
of a single issue 31,200 pounds ; or more than 15 ton
The paper when turned out from the mills is folded hal
the size of the sheet, and put in bundles containing tW°
reams, 1,000 sheets each. The bundles are compressed to
almost the solidity of a bound book, and measure about
inches in thickness. Two hundred and forty piled cjui,o
upon another would make a column 140 faet in heigh
with 37 by 231 inches side measurement. If each of WI
210,000 copies of The Weekly Tribune were addles,se'd
singly to the person who subscribes for it, and it required
but 10 seconds to write the name of the subscriber, Posij;
office, and State, it would take one person 67 days
hours each to perform the labour, but to accomplish "A
-
work in one day of 10 hours 67 persons would be require"
for each issue, or it would take ten persons working every
day iu the year to write a wrapper for each subscriber. (b).
course we do not address each paper to an individual 0,.!
scriber, though we do so address several thousand cePle.iis
each week, not with pen in hand, but by machinery; still
the labour is so vast in this department as well As
ae
others in our establishment, that, notwithstanding we li3'e
in operation the most improved and effective machine.,

quest our friends to comply with the following direction

We can make allowance for men accustomed to this

Poor John Smith of Morgan County, Illinois, came
grief, and is badly shown up, to point the moral lle.a
adorn the Tribune's tale. A letter from hint ;:b
given as a specimen of " How not to do it." SI11:0
is earnest in his praise of the paper, and having '"„
eye to the main chance he regards it from the Ineci
cenary point of view, estimating what it has sa.cee
him by its information on the markets. Mr. Hers"p
Greeley, to whom he addressed the letter, did the
ask him, as he might have done, for a share of i 5
plunder. Indeed, in the first instance, no one cell'
as our readers will presently learn. Smith goes °
to say that with others, being interested in aPPIe!.;
he wishes them to be quoted in the report to Pr'a
l
vent imposition on the part of the dealers, 05.0
thus winds up :—" I have sold my farm .cb
Salem and Will remove to Franklin, to 1"h,40
place you will direct my paper hereafter."
neglected to state that the Salem, of vo'of
there are many, was in Ohio—that the Franklic,bo
which there are more, was in Illinois—and that to
Smith, of which there are most, belonged tot
Salem Club of 27 subscribers, so his letter dropPeto
into the waste-paper basket, no one knowing boo'
et-
address to him. The Iribune then says il"ftto
two weeks he wrote agair, accusing us of wishing ,be
b
swindle him, and saying he did ' not care for 'if
paper, but did not like to be cheated ;' and addecltv,
we would send his paper from Salem, Ohio, to Fro ot,
lin, Illinois, he would receive it till his time was °jell
and then take some paper the proprietors of vivo
would do as they would be done by." In reply tilt
letter from the office, friend Smith " was very s°',o
he had given us so much trouble, it was all his etio
fault-, the Tribune is the best paper in
world, he could not do without it, Sze., „aoci
added a postscript stating that he had f°4o
that the article of merchandise, in sob r'
his friends were interested, was quoted in the mold
ket reports." Then, of course, comes the pia
story A word to advertisers : For $2 we Bri.",e,

our lines being one-sixth to one-quarter longer t't 0
in other newspapers—which is less than one cell
line for every I,ooo—before 240,000 subscribet.;
thus enabling the advertiser to communicate his

wares to several times 240,000 readers.

why that sulky thing enthroned in Printing Ile" oi

advertisements to the office, and pay money no,
for the insertions. No one can move about 1,

Its increase in circulation the Tribune considersthe

Such an arrangement would be highly
factory, and no wonder that Horace 61;blv
lays it down as the ultima thule of IleP boy
canism. The use of a Republican is tell the

use of the party is to support Horace Greeley,

his use is to supply the party with opinions, 5:00

encouraging indeed—to a man who rather likesde
