THE DEATH OF THE EX>EMP~
 RESS,

. MARIE LoulsE a widow of Napoleon. and since 1916 Arch Duchess of Parma Piacentia, occarred at Parma, Dec. l51ll in the 56th year of her age The Phiiadsl- phia American remarks:
 There is nothing especial in this event, in the passage of stupid, selfish and use> less woman from this life to another, that should excite public interest-but the death of Marie Lousis will do 50. The splendid incidents of her bridal with the foremost man of all the world. the results of that bri- dal. and the tragic acts of that dreaful dra> ma that followed, have attached an in- terest to her name and life of which she was scarcely worthy. The heroes of the battle field are always better known than those of thestudy. Napoleon's career is more familiar in this ct,untry ,han the studies of Bacon and the poisoned trail of h1s example is over many a mind that should be devoted to better aspira.ions.- The details of his domestic life have been made, by popular publications, subjects o: debate around thousands ot 6resides: and the death of his second wife, the wife be.
 
 she was welded, and magni6ed with all the glory of French stage manager, will cer- tainly go to the hearts of many sympathy sing and soft-souled sentimenlaleits. Ma rie Louise was the daughter of Francis H., Emperor of Austria, and was born in l79l, and married to the Emperor Napoleon on the Sd of April, 1910. She was deseend- ed from long line of ancestors a few of whom had ordinary sense and ordinary honor. She was herself accom mplished, fair, and inoffenslve. The victorious Ma poleon bought her. as the consideration of peace, from her father, the vanqnished Emperor he divorced, against all laws, human and divine, his wife Josephine-and banishing his first consort to Nalmaison, at which it is said he made weekly visits, introduced his Austrian bride at the Tuil> leries. His career was a brief bat most brilliant one. Every honor was paid her. and the birth of he: son, announced by the discharge of an hundred cannon, seemed to crown the glory of the empress of the great est monarch of modern times. He left her, 10 arm against emhattled Enrope, and never saw her or her son again. That Napoleon played well, before witnesses, the part of a lover, is proved by his excla nation, in the moment of his wife's sxtremest danger |" Sauvez ma femme peW n' import te yesfe." That his devotion, the devotion Of the great est living man. vas not appreciated, is dc< monstIa.ed by her ready submi ssion to his enemies, and her marriage with another.- She became the mother of large family of children, the Duchess of a nominal princi> paliiy. aud the reproach of all who cherish. ed inc memory of him 10 whose fame her name was welded. She dies, and her name fills paragraph-it will never fill another

THE WAR.

We commend to the earnest attention of our readers the article on our first page, headed sThe Clergy and the War. , IL is an extract from the Thanksgiving Sermon of ore of the ablrst and most es. teemcd ciergymen in this county. I, is' written in fearless and Christian spirit, and. like the sermon of the Rev. Mr. Ed ridge, If Norfolk, delivered on the same occasion. its meaning is not likely to be mistaken by the supporters and abetters of the crusade lagainst Mexico. Indeed the clergy of the country are, almos. to man. opposed the war
 One by one the good and great men of the nation have fesr it to be heir duty [" come out in opposition to the origin and objects of the war. The Hon. John Mclean. of Ohio, Judge of tho Supreme Court of the United States, in a recent letter says To all human appearance the termination os th's m.ses5oir war with Mexico, is mose re- mole than when the first blow was struck.- in my Judgement it was unnecsssaysyy and "nconsfsfnf'ensHy commenced, by marching our army into disputed territory in the posses. {. sioh "f Mexico. And 1 think that Congress. who "nquestlonably have the power, should
 ut an end to the war on just and honorable principles. ... - '
