MR. BRowNsoN, ON LoUrs NAPoLEoN.-Mr.
Orestes A. Brownson speaks as follows Of the
present Emperor of France:
''Lous Napoleon can, il he will, acquire the
name of a Christian Prince. He has little seri-
Gus opposition to overcome. The Republic, al
ways fiction, is PROSTATE. The Capets can do
nothing. From first to last, from Hugh Capet
to Charles X, they have been plague spot
in Europe. Scarcely two kings of that house
merited well of the Church, St. Louis is the
great exception, the others follow him at a
long distance. They found the claims of their
house to the throne Of France upon legitimacy.

God never turned nation over to family in

NIAGARA Falls AND l. KE ERIE.-Prof.
Siiman, The eminent geologist, discfedits the
opinion adsanced by some, that the gradual
wearing away of tie rocks of Niagara Fails,
may possibly result in dIaiaing Lake Erie. In
a recent lecture he rcmarked-They will not
halt at their present station. but retreat slowly
and surely about two miles further. where they
will stop again for an unknown period and prob
ably forever, since at this place the hard lime-
stone will form both base and top of the falls,
and thus stop the rapid destruction OF the rock.
Some have thought that they would finally reach
Lake Erie, and that then the lake would be COM
pletely drained. Such an event is impossible.
At the point already mentioned, the torrent will
gradually wear away the surface of the lime.

will be one of the lost wonders ct the world
