NJ Gaillarlet, the Paris correspondent of the
C1urriel DIS EtatS jHiS, says that Il manu-
script Of seventy-ninc pages, written by Napo-
leon in St Helena, has been discovered, and is
likely to produce lively sensation. 1t is a sort
Of biography, and is designed to justify his pol
icy i'll the eyes of his son and Of France. The
style is = bulletinic,' and each sentence makes
a report The royal eonsprators are severely
handled. The death Of the Duke d Enghien 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 a republican of 1913, the
journalist PrudhOmme, whom nothing could IN
duce to support the empire, An aged daugh-
ter his sole heir, has discovered by chance this
production, buried in the dust 1t would seem
that NJ Gailiardet credits the authenticity o!
the memoir; but others arc likely to suspect II
to be Jacobin forgery.

In our middle country wolves are

Shot in Lexington District OH Bear
Swamp. Mr.. Say considered it dis
tinct species, and it has been so de-
scribed by Goldman and Richardson
but Audubon and Bachmm are of
opinion, that it is only n variety of tho
grey species. The farther South we
90, the more specimens are found of
this colour; in Florida they are com
mon. The specimen, which may be
seen at the Banner Office, is fine one,
and very large. 1t is jes black except
in the abdominal region and the inside
of the legs, which are grey, with a
white spot on the breast. Say gives
as the measurement of this variety, 4
feet 3D. inches from the tip of the
nose to the root ofthe tail; the tail |
foot inch; ear 3 81 inches.
Audubon and l'achman say:
Length OF head and body, 3it. 2 inches.

Our specimen measures from the
point of the nose to the root of the tail.
4 feet 3 inches, with the hair l foot

There is vast emigration to Ore

the Northwestern States. The Illinois
tShate Register says it is "sure that
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, will send rs
many beyond the mountains this year
as in any previous year, and we hear
of no falling off in other quarters" .
The Register says:
a new feature in this movement
Westward is seen this season. Hun.
dreds Of men who have made fortunes
in California, and returned here during
last fall and summer, arc among those
going out, most of them taking fine
trains Of wagons, cows, mules and hor.

money obtained at the mines. Thus
we see that our people who sell these
products are sharing in profits of gold
