iNTERMARRIAGgs AND INsANiTY.-The Gin
cinnaii Herald contains an article on this sub
ject designed to show that ntermarriages of
blood-rela'lons always tend TO deprave the
race, and often lead to Insanity. It's shown
that IN Catholic countries, where such inter-
marriages are interdicted. cases of INSANITY
are very rare while in Protestant countries
they are OF frequent occurrence. Thus, in
Spain, the proportion Of insane is but 10
71S4, while In the United States they are 10
800.

BISHOP ONDFRDONK

An intelligent correspondent of the Boston
Post, who writes from New York, says
1--WE are soon to have exciting times in this
Episcopal diocese. From the time that Bishop
Onderdonk was suspended, up TO this hour, the
friends of that preIale have been assiduousy en-
gagged in an effort to sustain him, and to continue
him in possession of his bishoprck. And they
have not labored in vain. He will ] think, be
reinsta;cd, and wear once mere his robes IN
derstand that he has decided majority of the
clergy in his favor; and, among the laitv, ,hert
are many who are determined TO sustain him al
all hazard. Hewill very soon preach in the pull
pit of Trinity Church, and you may depend up
on it, will oiFciale at lis conservation. Thou
sands who were at one time bitterly opposed to
him, and would no; listen TO any .bing that was
said IN his favor now assume that he has been
already abundantly punished, if he was ever
gulity-,-about which they doubt-and should be
reinstaied, and be reinvested with all his holy
functions. Tie Ming ,0iN be done.

PosrMAsTERs REPoRT.-The Report of the P. M.
General shows the entire of the Post office
department. to be S4,2S984 80 Its total expendi-
lures "a 32O,73l,99,. The nett revenue, after de-
Quoting. Post Masters commissions, and contin-
gent and incidental expenses amounts to $2,9422l7,
81. The estimated dimunition from the reduction
of the rate of postage is ,323,997 This by the late
law must be met by appropriations from the treasu-
ry.
In view of the result of the cheap postage expert
ment the Post Master General recommends, that
the rates of postage be increased to 5cts for sim
gle letter carried 80 miles 10cts. So and under
800 miles, andI5cts. over 300.
He recommends, also the restoration of the for

Editors exchanges and the prepayment of all postage
This is the substance of the Report, though it
contains many statistics which we will hereafter give
readers. And now we beg leave to say, we dis
sent from the recommendations, in toto. The p. M.
General, doubtless, thinks he has discovered cure
for the evil of deficiency, in the Revenue of his
department; but we humbly beg leave to ask why
the people may not well receive the benefit of a
part of the money they pay into the Treasury for
the Army, the Navy, and the government to receive
the whole of it. There is deficiency saws Mr..
Johnson of upwards of s., O00,O 900 in the revenue of
the Post Office. There is an oyerplus says Mr..
Walker in the Treasury of upwards of $4,000 O0O,the
people have paid the whole, apply the one to the
other say in behalf of the people, and let them
continue to enjoy cheap postage.
AS publishers we have another word to say. The
necessities of the public require that in every village
of any Importance, journalist of some sort must
ceiving little besides abuse for his labors, and this
class Of men receive little encouragement by the
system of free postage, within thirty miles. This
tring favor is all they receive at the hands of gov
eminent, and it is all the protection" they receive
against the oTergrown Capitalists in their neghbor
hoods, and elsewhere. AS for the postage exchan-
ges if each publisher is not fairly entitled to this in
consideration of the amount of business his office
gives the department. cannot see on what grounds
any such accommodation is ever given to business
men, by coaches or transportation lines-why the
traveller must not pay for every pound baggage &C.
With regard to nvariable prepayment-that can't al
ways 90.
twould break many newspaper establishments
down to pay their own postage and trust to their
subscribers to refund it. Nothing is to us more evil
dent than that M. Johnson does not understand adop
ting the Post Office Department to the wants of the
people it is intended to accommodate. 'sNo charge
in the postage rates is our motto.'

NAPOLEON AND THE GRENADIER.
BY AN EYE WITNESS,

EYE WITNESS,
1t was after the battle of Jena that the Emperor
entered the apitol of the Prussian domnions in tr
umph. In short time he left Berlin with his staff of
which was then member, to meet the Russian army
which was advanced against us. Several detachments
of the French we're in full march, that the road
from Berlin to Kongsberg was crowded with soldiers
wagons, artillery, and the baggage train. The en-
peror, as was his custom, took the bye-roads, and
travelled so fast that but few could keep up with
him. The soldiers who saw him pass by,accompanied
only by two or three officers, gave him the nick
name of the 'pett corporal" Being pretty well
mounted, generally managed to keep pace with him
and thus had an opportunity of remarking that he
sometimes looked behind to know who was following;
and he could not help smiling when he remarked how
few there were in his tain.
The heavy rains however impeded our march, and
1T was with difficulty that we were able to ad-
vance at all in some places. All at once the empe-
rior refined up his horse to look at grenadier of
BILE figure, with black mustaches and whiskersstting
under tree, his musket, knapsack, and large cup
laid by his side, and who busy engaged in roas-
ting potato some ashes, which were yet burning
He SO intent on his occupation, that he neither
saw the emperor or the troops marching by him.
After watching him for some moments, the emperor
said 'Hallo, grenadier, what you doing there r
ssThafs pretty question:, answered the grenadier,
with a broad Gascon accent; "a man must be blind
not to see that am roasting potato the point of
my knife" THAT'S true, replied Napoleon; 'here,

sAh that's good give it to you give it to you

laughing. "Come, here's gold piece; give me half

at the refusal, and asked him authoritatively if he
knew to whom he was addressing himself. He, still
