"Tharcs.eouis Napoleon, son OF Louis, ex-
King of Holland, was born in Paris on the Goth
OF april 1908 His god-parents were the EN-
peror and Maria Louisa, and during his child
hood he was an especial favorite of the former
On the return of Napoleon from Elba, he stood
beside him on the Champ de Mars. and when
embraced by him for the last time at Malmni-
son, the young Louis, then boy Of seven
wears, wished to follow him at hazards
When the family was banished from France,
his mother removed to Augsburg, where he re-
ceived good German education. lie was ai-
forwards taken to Switzerland, where he OBJ
tanned the right Of citizenship and commenced
a course of military studies.
After the July revolution, by which he was
a second time prescribed from France, he WISH
ted Italy in company with his brother, and in
1884 took part iu popular instruction a.
gainst the Pope. TiSs movement failed, but
he succeeded in making his escape, and his
brother dying at Forli, the same year, he visited
Englar d, and afterwards returned to Switzer-
land, where, for two or three years, he con-
tented himself with writing political and mill
tary works. which do not appear to have been
extensively read. The death Of the Duke Of
Reichstadt, in 1882, gave new impulse to his
ambitious hopes. HE first revolutionary at
tempt at strasbourg, in October, 1896, COM
pletely failed, but after short imprisonment in
Paris, he was sent to this country. The ILL
ness of his mother occasioned his return the
following year, and after a visit to Switzer-
land, he took up his residence in England until
his second attempt at Bologne in 1910.
In this affair, several of his followers were
killed. and he was himself taken and scntonc-
ed to imprisonment for life In tho Castle Of
Ham. The particulars Of his escape in May,
1916, after an incarceration Of six years, are
well known. From that time until the end OF
September last, when he was returned az dep
uty to the National Assembly from the De-
partment Of the Seine, has resided in England
Alate London Journal, in describing his mode
of life, gives the following not very fisttering
account:
"He was inscriptions in contracting osli-
trarting obligations, which were wholly be-
yond his means Of repayment; and his most Sc

which he expected to arrive at the discovery

The news of the election OF Louis Napoleon
to the Presidency Of the French Republic Will
naturally excite some curiosity in regard to
his history and public character. Hitherto he
has only been known through the foolish al
fairs at Strasbourg and Bologne, his publshe ed
works, Notwithstanding the merits claimed by
his adherents, having failed to enlarge his rep
utaton, His life, has nevertheless, been some
what cventful, and he docs not lack the advan-
tage OF varied fortune and severe experience.

ON MANURING AND PRUNING
OLD TREES.

The most important question in Fruit
Culture, to be answered in Northern New
England, is-what is to be done with the
old orchards! Without giving any reason
for the cause, we think there is no disput-
ing the fact; that most men, of forty years
of age, or upwards, find that the orchards
that were, in their boyhood, thrifty, vigor-
Gus and yearly loaded with fair fruit, are
now scrubby and worthless, filled with de-
caying limbs and sprouts, or gradually dying
without an expiring effort for existence.
The facts here stated, are too evident to
be disputed. The cause, or remedy, we do
not remember to have seen stated in any
work on the culture of fruit trees. We
shall state what we believe to be the cause.
and what we believe may be a remedy;--
which we assure any one who may have the
patience to read this, is the result of our
practical experience rather than specula-
tive theory. First as to the cause.-lt is
well settled principle in Vegetable Physol-
ogy, that no plant or tree will flourish, and
produce fruit in any soil, after the partlcu-
lar ingredient required for it is exhausted,
while in the same soil, another plant, or
tree may grow in the most perfect manner.
! HIS DeiUD uuc, inc 10
ble that where certain parts of soil, re-
quired for the apple, are exhausted, or
where they do not exist, they must be sup
piled, or the tree will decay and fruit be-
come worthless. Unfortunately, in Ver-
mont science has not been brought to the
aid of the cultivator of the soil. For an an
alysis of trees, and plants, we can resort to
books; but for an analysis of our soils, or
to find what is necessary to apply III all
soils to grow fruit trees successfully, every
one must spend one fourth of his life, UNI
: less his neighbor, on similar soil, has al
ready done it. Could we have Geologl-
cal and Agricultural survey of our State,
, with an analysis of our various soils, peat
beds &C., the advantage to the cultivators
of fruit alone, would be such as to bear no
comparison to the comparatively trifiing ex-
, pense. The States of New York and Mas
sachusetts, with the liberality which per-
; vades all their acts of Legislation, have done
l and are doing more to promote agriculture,
/ horticulture and all industrial pursuits, than
the whole United States besides. To Pro-
fessor Emmons, who has been many years
engaged in making a geological survey OF

State carriage, as the special attendant of
Her Majesty, the Head of the Established
Church.
Besides the enormous list, specified a.
bove, large appropriations are constantly
made for the maintenance ofthe Royal Pal
aces, castles, pavilions, news, parks, gar
dens, pleasure grounds, stables, &c. The
Royal Family also draw heavily on the
purse. Prince Albert as Royal Consort,
the duties of which station are pretty much
limited TO the registration at Somerset
House of the additions to his family, re-
ceives annually 100000 or nearly $780,
600 And as Field Marshall in the Army,
a Colonel in the Foot Guards, Constable of
Windsor Castle, Ranger of Windsor Park
and Lord Warden of the Summaries, most
of which posts are absolute sinecures, he
obtains every year at least $40 900 more.
Adelaide, the Queen Dowager, relct of the
late William w., has an annual allowance
of Gl00, 900 The Duchess of Kent, the
Queens mother, receives $50 900. One
of the Queens unces, the Duke of Cam
bridge, receives G27 900; another, the
Duke of Cumberland, now King of Hano-
yer, f2O, 900. Another member of the
Royal Family Leopold, King of the Belgi-
ans, receives 5f50, 900; and the Duchess of
Gloucester, the Queens Aunt, tGl6,OOO
The grants made by Parliament from
year to year, for the Royal accommodation,
and for royal salaries and pensions, do not
average less than three millions and half
of dollars. For the maintenance of Royal
dignity, very large sum which does not
appear in this calculation, is sunk in plate,
Jewels, &c. The Queens plate at ST.
Jamess alone is estimated at two millions
of pounds The Crown jewels kept at the
Tower of London are valued at three mil
lions of pounds.
The crown worn by Her Majesty on state
occasions is worth about els, 600 and
that used by her at her coronation, as was
told by its Snowman, Is priced at one mil
lion pounds. For the consideration of
single sixpence, my republican vision has
been dazzled by the sight of this magniii-
cent diadem. Its ground work is red vel
vet, and it is covered with one blazing mass,
sapphires and diamonds. Around this inn
peral crown were ranged various diadems,
sceptres, orbs, swords of Justice and peace,
golden spurs, golden wine fountain three
feet high and of the same circumference,
golden baptismal font, chalices, tankards,
salt cellars, spoons, and many other mas
sve utensils of gold used at the coronation
Of the sovereign, or at the christening OF
children of the royal family.
Besides the annual appropriations made
by Parliament, the Crown receives large
revenues from other sources-irom the im-
mense estates it possesses in all parts of the
kingdom, from admiralty droits, from Gil
bralter duties, from the increase of vacant
bishoprics, from escheats, forieits, waits, es-
trays, treasures, entrove. The revenues of
the Duchy of Cornwall amount to 5e20, 900
annually, and go to the support ofthe young
Prince ofWales; the revenues ofthe Duchy
of Lancaster amounts to GIO,0 900, and are
paid into the privy purse of royalty.

THE CHARITY OF WAGES.

Among the forms of benevoence, which

to swell the ranks of degradation and vice.
In our sex it is objectionable cruelty; for
the avenues in which they can gain an hon
est subsistence, are neither so numerous nor
so howery that we may close them at pleas
ure and be innocent. We ought not to
consider ourselves as doing the duty Of
Christians-though we subscribe literally
to the foreign and popular charities while
we withhold the helping hand, or the WORD
OF sympathy, from the female laborer with
