of Lamartine's "History of the Reslora-
ton OF the Monarchy in France" has Just
been published simultaneously a; London
and Paris, The work, (says an English
critic,) abonnds with many beautifully
written passages. fully justifying the
great literary repution of the author
The personal appearance of Napoleon
has frequently been described, but rarely
with such power, and never in such po-
etlcal language, as in the following des-
cription Of him after his return to Paris
in 1918:
The empire had made him old before
his time. Gratifed ambition, satiated
pride, the delights of palace, luxur-
ant table voluptuous couch, youthful
wives, complaisant mistresses, long vigals,
sleepless nights-divided between labor
and festive pleasures, the habit of con-
slant riding. which made him corpuleut
all tended to deaden his limbs and en-
crate his faculties. An early obesity
overloaded him with flesh. His cheeks,
formerly streaked with muscles and hal
lowed by the working OF genius, were
broad. full and overkanging, like those of
Ohio in the Roman medals OF the empire
An excess of bile mingling with the
blood gave a sallow tint to the skin
which at distance looked like a varnish
Of pale gold on his countenance. His
lips still preserved their Grecian outline
and steady grace, passing easily from a
smile to menace. His solid bony chin
formed an appropriate base for his fea-
10 lin nd
transparent. The pa.eness of his cheeks
gave greater brilliaucy to the blue of his
eyes. His look was searching, unsteady
as wavering fame--an emblem of in
quietude. His forehead seemed to have
Widened, from the scantiness of his thin
black hair, which was falling from the
moisture of continual thought. 1t might
be said that his head naturally small, had
increased iu size to give ample scope be-
tween his temples for the machinery and
combinations of mind every thought
of which was an empire. The map O!
the world seemed to have been encrust-
ed Oh the orb of that reflective head
But it was beginning to yield; and he in
clined 1t often on his breast while cross.
ing his arms like Frederick II.--an atti-
tude of gesture which he appeared to
affect. Unable any longer to seduce his
courtiers and his soldiers by the charm OF
youth. it was evident that he wished TO
fascinate them by the rough. pensive and
disdainful character of himself-of his
model in his latter days. He moulded
himself, as it were, into the statue of re-
Election before his troops, who gave HIM
the nickname of Father Thoughtful.-
He assumed the pose of destiny Some
thing rough, rude and savage in his
movements revealed his southern and in
sular origin. The man of the Mediterra-
mean broke out constantly through the
Frenchman. His nature, too great and
powerful for the part he had to play,
overfowed on all occasions. He bore no
resemblance to any of the men around
him. Superior and altogether different,
he was all offspring of the sun, of the
sea, and of the battle6eld----out Of his
element even in his palace, and stranger
even in his owu empire. Such was at
this period the profile, the bust. and the
external physiogomy of Napoleon.

Discovery IN SURGERY.---A Prussian
named Aran is said to have recently
made discovery i'll surgery that is ex:
citing considerable interest in the sci
entifc circles Of Berlin. It is the appli-
cation of chlorine to relieve pain. Un-
like chloroform it can be used withous
danger to the patient. and is very ef.
fectual in its operation From the ac-
count, small quantity of the fluid.
Grom ten to twenty drops( is dropped
on the par. effected. or on lint band
aga slightly moistened with water. and
then applied, and all bound up in
oil silk, and linen band. After from
two 20 ten minutes the part becomes
insensible, and the pain is no longer
felt whether it be from rheumatic, ner-
vous. or other disorders. After time
it returns again, but usually weaker,
and with several applications it is often
entirely relieved. The discoverer has
presented memorial on the subject 10
the Academy of Paris.

CAPTAIN ELLIS AND THE CUBAN PRIs-
oNERs. The New York Times gives an
account O: an interview with Captain
Ellis of the late expedition to Cuba. who
was recently liberated by the Captain
I General from which we make the follow
| ing extracts
Himself and party Of friends AFTER the
dispersion of Lopez took refuge IN peas
ants hut, which was surrounded soon af-
| ter by the Spanish troops. who took then,
prisoners, bound them, and set them iI 4
row to be shot. The commapdipg officer
after a brief deliberation, altered his mind
concluding TO postpone the execution ur;.
til he could communicate with his supe-
rors. Thus was the apparent doom or
the prisoners averted at the last moment;
and upon reaching the main body of his
troops. TO their great 10Y they found the
order just issued by the Captain General.
directing that no more prisoners should
be shot. hut that all tokeI should be sent
into HAVANA Thus again weSe hey re-
prieyed. Their capture all hour earlier
would have sealed their fate inevitably.
In consequence of his wounds, Captain
Ellis was seut TO the hospital, and nos
being reported convalescent prior to the
sailing of the frs: detachment Of p:ison-
ers transported to Spain, escaped trans
porta,on with them. Thus time was
given his friends To intercede for his par.
don-with what success his presence
among us is the best indication. lie has
quite recovered from his wounds, with
the exception that ne has lost the use Of
the fingers Of his left sand.
The Captain General states that if the
Spanish residents at New Orleans are
UNIDENTIFIED for the losses sustained at the,
hands Of the mob. there will be 40 obsla-
Gle to the Immediate release OF all the
prisoners upon proper application 70 the
Court of Madrid. So satisfied is Concha
upon this point that he authorizes Capt,
Ellis to make the above statement to the,
United 5 a:es authorities q, Washington.

A Man WITH FOUR HANps-We find
the following in late letter of the Paris
correspondent of the n. Y. Herald.
A very extraordinary musical phenom-
enon has just been presented TO the en-
peror of Russia, by Count Orlow. one of
the superintendents Of the theatres of tho
court Of Nicholas. The phenomenon is a
young Valack, named Frederick Roltz,
who was born with four hands, each Of
which has ten fingers, moving with the
greatest facility. Roltz is an excellent
pianist, who has Of course. no equal in the
world. He possesses. besides, the talent
of mechanic. and he made for his own
use piano Of eight scores, over which his
fingers are rnn like SPIDERS legs. Rol;z
was educated by q Russian prince. who left
him, when he died, q sm,all fortune. with
which he has bought about two hundred
rings, adorned with diamonds, with which
he covers his fingers wheL he is playing,
and these diamonds. produce sparks as nu-
merous as those Of a flint when struck with
steel The wonderful pllaaaaiis' will soon
visit Paris.

THE EMERALD MINE-.The Overland
Chronicle contains the following account
Of al emerald mine in Egypt: ut 0p-
pears that the existence OF an emerald
mine OH Mount Zubarah, situate on an
isle in the Red Sea. has long heen known
1t had been worked by The Pacha of
Egypt. but the operations had been
stopped in the latter years OF the reign 0!
Mehcmet Ali. A short time ago All
English company obtained permission to.
carry on the digging, which promised TO
yield them immense wealth. Recently
their engineer discovered at great dcptk
traces Of a great gallery, bearing about il
evidence Of extreme antiquity. Here he
found ancient instruments and utensils,
and a stops with hieroglyphic inscrip-
ton on it III great measure Destroyed.
II appears that in his time Belzoni had
given it as his opinion that this mine had
been worked by the ancient Egyptians.
and this discovery establishes the sound.
ness of his remark. The confguration
Of the gallery, and the nature and shape
Of the tools found in il. il is said, exhibit
great skill i'll the art Of engineering
From the inscription OH the stone, so far
as it can he read. it is believed that the
laboring in the mine Of Zabarah had
commenced in the reign Of the great
Sesos,ris. living about 1860 before Christ,
whom antiquity describes as combining
the character of = conqueror with thai
of a prince of vast enterprise in the arts
Of peace.

coffee-sack. On the middle fuger she
wore rich and costly tin ring, made
from sardine box. The guests were
all assembled. but the happy lover had
not yet arrived. The princess became
impatient and Went TO seek him. She
found him playing at marbles. She ac-
costed him thus; jim. weddin' all ready

their effect. jim threw his arms around

the sound THAT followed was like THAI
heard pulling hull out of Iise mire."
