THE MARRIAGE OF LOUIS NAPoLEoN,-The Lon

AS mere question of personal dignity Louis
Napoleon has done well to show that he is indepen-
dent of the formalites of royalty, and though he
may become ridiculous when he initiates the ira
dtons or habits of the great courts of Europe, he
has an instructive consciousness that his strength
lies in his sympathy with popular predictions,

to announce their intended return to Madrid 1t
was only the consort Of the Emperor that she
would consent to accept his homage. This blow
had its effect, and the imperial Pamela obtains
her reward, in spite of some passages which were
thought to indicate different conclusion, butwhich
have left no unlavorable trace on the name of the
future Empress.
The Countess is described by another paper as
young lady of twenty fve--exccedingly beauti-
full complexion, fair, and as graceful gazelle

With the permission of the Secretary of the
Senate we have transferred to our columns the
following remarkable paper, taken from mana
script book IN his Office. 1t is rule adopted tb'
unoficially. by the members of the Senate soon
after the establishment Of the federal government,
in regard to their first intercourse with foreign min
listers arriving in the United States. Though the
origin of the rule has been long forgotten, the
usage which grew up under it has continued to the
present time.
When this rule was adopted, the Senate consist.
ed of twenty six members; of whom, as appears
by the journal, only nineteen were then present at
the seat of government. Every one Of these, with
the venerable John adams, Vice President of the
United States, at their head, agreed to the rule.

STOPPING PAPERs.-An exchange says: When

borrows the next number of his neighbor, to see
if the withdrawal of his patronage hasn't killed

their spite in this way but the kind of people who
imagine that the world rests on their shoulders.
