Remains of Napoleon.

The Paris Messenger gives an inter-
esting account from an eye witness Of the
exhumation of the remains of Napoleon,
at St. Helena.
The workmen were arduoIsly employ
ed from midnight until half past o'clock
in the morning, before the earth was Ell
tircly removed from the vault, all the
horizontal strata cf masonry demolished
and the large slab which covered the in
ternal sarcophagus detached, ana raised
by means Of crane. The cemented
masonry-work which enclosed the coffin
on every side, and which, during the 8
years that have elapsed since it was built,
had suffered no detriment had SO prcserv-
ed it from the effects of the atmosphere
and the neighhoring spring that at the
first sight ii did not appear 10 be in the
slightest degree injured. The sarcopha-
gus in the hag-stones was perfect, and
could scarcely be said 10 be damp
1t is difficult to describe with what
anxiety, with what emotions. those who
were present waited for the moment that
was to expose to them al! that death had
left of Napoleon. Notwithstanding the
singular state of preservation Of the tomb
and collins, we could scarcely hope to
find any thing but some mishappen re-
mains of the least perishable parts of the
costume to evidence the identity. But
when, by the hand of DR.. GuiIlard, the
satin sheet was raised, an indescribable
feeling of surprise and affection was ex-
pressed by the spectators, most Of whom
burst into tears. The Emperor himself
was before their eyes The features of
his face, though changed, were perfectly
recognized-the hands perfectly beautiful
his well known costume had suffered
but little, and the colors were easily dis
tnguished--thc epaulets, the decorations,
and the hat, seemed to be entirely pre-
served from decay-the attitude itself
was full of ease, and but for the fragments
of the satin lining, which covered, as
with fine gauzo, several parts Of The
Uniform, we might have believed we saw
before us Napoleon still extended en- Il
bed of state. General Bertrand and VI.
Marchand, who were present at the inter-
mcnt, quickly pointed out the different
articles which each had deposited in the
coffin, and in the precise position which
they had previously described. II was

bELiVkREp ny {. q, MILLER,
Before the Dayton Lyceum, ION the utility of
Literary Associations, on Saturday evening
the 23l Of January, 1871.
The subject before us is one Of vital
importance particularly TO the rising gen
Grafton. The utility Of associations Of
this kind has never been denied; but in
every age it has been cherished by the
wise and good of every land wherever
human intelligence has been found. It's
influence has penetrated the darkest and
most superslilious corners of the habitable
world. casting its blessings of sunshine
benignIty over the darkencd in,ellects Of
human superstition and idolatrous ignor-
ance. An association having for its OBJ
ject the cultivation of the intellectual fac
ulies, the promotion Of morals, and the
dissemination Of useful information, is
engaged in objects the most honorable,
