THE DEAD OF THE YEAR The year
just passing away has been remarkable for
the ravages Of death among the great, in all
lands. France has lost her old Marshals Of
the Empire, Marmont, Gourgaud, Excel
mans, and Narrast. one Of the noblest states
men of the republic. England mourns her
greatest warrior, the very embodiment Of
English charac.er-WelIin Spain has
buried her old Captain, Costanos, the vete-
ran champion Of her rights in the Peninsuar
contest. And America is bereit of her grea-
ties, statesmen, Clay, w Woodbury., Webster
while the church has been deprived of its
shiuing lights, Gadsden, Ilenshaw, Chase,
Hedding, Stuart and Edwards. They are
gone to their reward, but who shall fill their
places?

LOUIS NAPoLEoN-The New York Cou-
rter and Enquirer thinks the world has been
greatly mistaken in the character of L,ouis
Napoleon, and that The world is BEGINNING
TO ind 1t out. In the course of its remarks
the Courier says:
ut so happened, that when in The winter
| OF 1886 he landed in this CITY from Brazil
where he bad been exiled by Louis PhiIliDe.
we were the first acquaintance he made in
the country; and his first evening in the Uni
tea ota'es was spent q, our table, in comna-
ny with General Scott and other guests
his circumstance was the cause of our see
ing much Of him while in this country: and
we subsequently saw a great deal of him in
London. The result of our Intercourse was
IA conviction that he was man Of far greater
talent than the world gave him credit for.
and that considering the peculiar character
iof the French people, il was impossible to
predict his future. There was one man in
Eng land, however, who foresaw and predic-
ted the future OF Louis Napoleon; and that
man was the late Sir Rober, Peel He saw
mole of the exile than any of the statesmen
of England and he not only declared him
to be man of extra ordInary talent, but bold
y predicted that if he lived, she would IN
evIably be al The head Of the French ma
ton"
lhe Courier goes on to state its opinion
that there is great danger in the future to
England, OF an invasion BY France, and 10
show that the creation of the Empire is with
the full sanction Of Russia and Austria, al
though they pretend TO deprecale it.
