EARLY Days of Napoleon.

Theirs, in his History of the Consulate, relates
some very strange and previously unknown partcu-
lars respecting the early life and penury of Napoleon
Bonaparte 1t appears that after he had obtained a
subaltern's commission in the French service, and
after he had done the State good service by his skill
and daring at Toulon, he lived for time in Paris
in obscure lodgings, and in such extreme poverty
that he often without the means of paying ten
cd for his dinner, and frequently went with
out any meal at all. He under the necessity OF
borrowing small sums and even WORKOUT clothes,
from his acquaintances He and his brother Louis,
afterward king of Holland had at time only one
coat between them, the brothers could only go out
alternately turn and turn about. At this crisis the
chief beneactor of the future Emperor and conquer
or q at whose mighty name the world grew pale,
was the actor Talma, who often gave him food and
money. Napoleon's face afterward so famed for its
classic mould, was during this period of starvation
harsh and angular in its lineaments, with projecting
cheek bones. His meagre fare brought on un-
pleasant and unsightly cuaneous disease. of type
viruent and malignant, that it took all the skill
and assduity of his accomplished physician Corvs-
art, to expel it after duration of more than ten
years The squalid beggar then, the splendid En-
peror afterwardthe thrcadbare habliment, the i'm
perial mantle-the hovel and the palace mea Gre
food and the gorgeous banquet-the friendship of a
poor actor the homage and the terror of the world
an exile and prisoner-such are the ups and downs
of this changeable life such the lights and shadows
of the great and mighty

RepubIicanism and the Bible.

When France became republic after the reyo-
luton of 1S4S says of our exchanges discerning
men, forming their judgment not from names, but
from the nature of things, ventured to predict ruin
and not prosperity. the result of the change which
was then hailed by nearly all in this country as a
glorious revolution They who thus prophesed be-
Heved that an extensive republic could not be sup
ported by infdels or socialists, or unenlightened
bapists They regarded the principles and precepts
of the Bible engrayen on the consciences and the
hearts of the people, as the only durable foundation
of free political institutions, and with much instinct
and foresight
Two years have elapsed, and what do we see }! Is
there any stability prospect of stability in French
republicanism Let good test the price of stocks,
answer. The wise men of France feel that it is not
safe to invest their money in French stocks in any
property liable to be affected by French legislation
MIR. Walsh, in recent letter from Paris says
"Since the beginning of the year, the American
Consul here has audience six days of the week
from until o'clock, to multitude of persons
in quest of information about California and to
others about the prices and choice of American
stocks. The latter includes the highest names of
the old aristocracy and the statesmen of the last
twenty years Their anxiety to place part of their
means beyond the spere of French destnies is evi-
dence of the precarousness of French political and
social order 1t indicates, at the time, their
confidence in American stability"

Our VILLAGE was thrown into great excitement on
Friday last by the announcement that hofrlDie
murder had been perpetrated in its nelgn
borhood. An investigation Immediately took place,
and it was found that Mrs. Rhoda Etherton, poor
widow who lived alone, about four miles across Cat
fish Swamp, had been inhumanly murdered Inc
wound. which was inflicted with axe found IN the
yard was directly the left eye, tracturlng the
skull and causing instant death. small trunk
was carried off, larger was found broken open
in the yard. track, apparently that OF negro,
was found under the trunk. The perpetrator OF the
deed is still at large Suspicion has been fixed up
on a negro fellow belonging to gentleman in an
adjoining District but in the absence of stronger
idence than we have yet seen heard, refrain
from giving the names of either master servant.
This is the first time in the history of District
that such an event has occurred What object could
have influenced the murderer it is difficult to divine,
It could not have been plumber, for she certainly
had nothing which could have and inducement-
Nor could it have been revenge for injuries received
for she mild inoffensive being, who disturbed
or meddled with no one.-Marion Star.
BURIED AL1vE-The St. Louis Union, of the It'll
ut., publishes the following story, the authority
of Mr. Straling, sexton of ST. Vincent Burial Ground
in that city
ION Friday last, funeral train arrived at the
grave yard bearing with them for burial the corpse
Of a German, who was supposed to have died from
the effect of laudanum. 1t appears the man had been
unwell and laboring under great pain. To this
his brother procured phial of laudanum, part of
which was administered to the afflicted man, and the
phial and remainder put away After having slept
some time and while the rest of the family
sleep, the sick man awoke. hunted up the laudanum
and drank the whole of it, which nearly deprived
him of life that his relatives concluded he dead.
He taken to the above yard for BURIAL the
grave dug the coffin lowered into it, the grave par
TALLY filled, the started for their houses,
and the sexton left his to complete the filling of
the grave, while he went to attend to another in
different part of the yard. The son had been enga-
ged but short time in throwing dirt into the grave,
when he heard noise resembling heavy breathing,
burying. The boy called his father, who quickly
earthed the coffin, opened it, and found that the man
had turned his head so partially tolay on the front
| of his face and the body was warm He procured
vinegar, &C., and made great exertion to restore the
poor by friction, but his effort too late, the
man was dead
