-" VI. Gaillardet, the Paris correspondent
of the Courier DIES Etats Unis, says that Il
manuscript Of scvcnty-ninc PAGES, written BY
Napoleon, in st. Helena, has been discovered,
and is likely to produce II lively sensation. 1t
is Il sort of biography, and is designed to JUS
tify his policy in the eyes Of his son and Of
France. The style is "bu!Ictinic," and each
sentence makes Il report. The royal con-
sprators are severely handled. The death of
the Duke d'Enghicn is defended at length,
and liberty is proclaimed to be the necessary
aim of every government that can expect to
continue. What is singular the memoir was
sent to u republican Of %, the journalist
Prudhommc, whom nothing could induce to
support the empire. An AGED daughter, his
sole heir, has discovered by chance this pro-
ducton, buried in the dust. 1t would seem
that VI. GaiIlardct credits the authenticity of
the memoir; but others are likely to suspect
il to be Il Jacobn forgery.

80 During the last Presidential canvass,
the New York Day Book was daily in the
habit of abusing Gen. Scott; and the Louis.

casions. Of course they know their own Blu.

would like to see the following from the last
number Of the Day Book;
If Pierce had spent all the time between
his election and his Inauguration in contry.

the public sentiment of the country which
elected him to the elevated office he now
fills, he could not have succeeded more CONF
plctcly than he has. lie has taken to his

prominent Frccsoilcrs and Sccessionists of
the country-thc very men against whom tho
public sentiment VAS most strongly expressed.
The sell is so complete that it is really
lau@hablr. The election made everybody
laugh, and everybody has been on the broad
grin ever sincc-only the laugh is changed
to the other corner Of the mouth. People

a reminiscence, connected with the
United States Hotel at Chicago, which was
burn, only few days since, shows the as
tonishpg rapidity with which Chicago has
grown into IA large ond fourishing city.
Only sixteen years ago, on the spot where
The hotel referred TO stood, there were seated
The L. S. Commissioners, with three thou
sand Potawatama Indians, arranged on
the ground in n semi-circIe before them,
the men in front three deep, and the squsws
and pappooses in the rear. The lndians
had met to receive their last payment, and
the government had decided to make the
payment to the heads of families, rather
Than to the Chiefs. The Chiefs objected
TO il, but the Commissioners answered
there could be no change. Then with
gloom upon bis brow an aged Chief named
Mauawa, arose and broke forth in lam
Ientalion, saying that the Potiawatamas
must go far away, no more to roam their
own loved prairies, or shoe. the canoe
across their noble lake. "'fhe white man
has come" be said, sand he will build a
grea, town, and many houses will cover
the fields OF the Pottawatamas." In sadness
these Indians we're led of 10 Council B utf.
and altcrward TO a district set apart for
them Oh the Arkansas. And sixteen Years
have pissed, and large busting city Of
the white man has usurped the place ol the
Potta watamas.

Sunday Atlas announces that discovery
of the utmost Importance to wine drinkers
has been made by Mr.. S,ruggles;a maker
Of port and champagne wine in New Jer-
sey. The lancaster Express, from which
we derive our facts, states that the rapid
consumption of cockroaches used to give
the nut,y and peculiarly piquant flavor 10
wine, had made it difficult to find sulli
cent supply. In this dilemma the wine
maker conceived the happy idea that bed
bugs nigh, be used as Substitute. lie
tried The experiment, and the result was
far more satisfactory than he had anticipa
ted 1t was found that quart OF bedbug'
contained as much Of the tlavoring prIncl
pie as three pints or more OF the reaches
and that the former havo but little o
tia, narcotic or sleep producing effect which
IS attribute to the latter. Contracts have
been made with some Of the fashionable
boarding house keepers in Philadelphia
and New York for an ample supply Of thi:
new article of traffic. 1t is thought th'
boarders will be somewhat pleased wit!

ARRIVAL OF A IIUGB Boa CONSTRUCTOR
AND ITS YoUSG ONEs.--On Sunday last
there arrived at this port, 10 the ship Arrow,
Capt. WAR, from Para, huge serpent
# the boa genus. The reptile is at least
leighteen feet in length, and was caught by
some OF the natives on the banks of the
"mighty Amazon'' Before it came into
the possession Of Capt. WYATr, it had sat
listed its appetite BY swallowing fnll
grown goat. On the day the vessel left
Para the captain and crew were surprised
to fad that the serpent had given birth to
36 young ones. The .snakelets" were
about two feet each 10 length, and 10 six
weeks they have only grown about an inch
in length.
The report of this s.birth extraordinary"
soon spread at Para, and about l50 of the
leading gentleman Of the place went on
board the Arrow to see the mother and her
interesting offspring. In about six days
after the birth the mama devoured 90 pig.
IONS, being the first food she had tasted
from the time she had feasted on the goat
period Of shout three months. Capt.
WYATT, since bis arrival 10 Liverpool, has
disposed Of the boa constructor and its prog
eny to Mr.. EDMoNDs, cow the proprietor Of
one Of the travelling menageries of the late
Mr.. WoMgELL, which is at present being
exhibited in Manchester. The mother
and three Of the young ones have been re-
moved to that town, but 80 of the snakelets
have yet to he delivered, dead or alive, to
the purchaser. They are at present, in
seaman's phrase, adrift in the ships hold,
but will no doubt be recovered as the cargo
is discharged. The bite Of this snake is
not venomous, so that the young wrigglers
may easily be captured liverpool Ner-

JOHN p. HaLE's VIEW OF THE Two PLAT

JoHN p. HALE's VIEW OF THE Two PLAT
FORMS Probably some of oar readers
would like to read the distinction which
John p Hale, the late Freesoil candidate
for the Presidency, draws between the
Democratic and Wing platforms. We cop,
it from late number Of the Congressional
Globe:
In the discussions in which | engaged, !
uniformly spoke this language when | re-
ferred to the platforms: said that in a
moral point of view did not think there
was the least difference between them in
the world but practically there was; | put
i, in this way: The Wing party resolved
that they would ''depreciale and dscoun'e-
nance agitltion." Well now, said |, ito
depreciate" means TO pray against, and
therefore the Wings are obliged 10 pray
against agitation; they have right TO do
that. They pledge themselves, secondly,
to discoun,enance agitation. and that they
can do without going out of their track,
simply by standing still and making faces,
and that is all the Wings are bound to dc
bv their platform, "to depreclate aud dis,
countenanco." Bat said The Democrats
were bound to 90 further; they were bound
to '.rcsist" If there was place where
fanatical sentiments were to be uttered, a
Whip could stand still with sober face and
\ serious countenance, and pray you not te
90 in, and he would have done all the plat
form required him to do; but ifyou did &C
!, and the Democrat undertook to carry
ont the doctrine of his platform, he mus
