SANTA ANA.--When the Napoleon of the
South" appeared few years ago to BE- com.
pletsy fallen, an able writer alludng to his per-
sonaI history, remarked
The life of Santa Ana illustrates to an extra.
ordinary degree the yicissitudes Of that fortune.
which, in the ancient times Of superstition and
fable, wassworshipped as acontroling divinity;
though " resembles less the career Of demo-
cratic chief and military demagogue Of our own
era and hemisphere, than the history of the slave
of an oriental monareh,- "a Narses, or Belisarius,
or some palace menial, raised by the caprice of
fortune, to the purple, from the lowest obscuri-
ty up, through all intermediate posts and dgni-
ties to the glory and military command, and tri-
umph and mastership-only by similar caprice,
to be suddenly pulled down and degraded even
below the depth of former insigniGcapce. Or,
If we must find for the Mexican ex-President
a more digni6ed parallel, he can be compared to
Demetrius, the Destroyer Of cities; the very
football Of fortune; who-with more yal0r, the
advantage of royal lineage, and a character as
Infamous for debauchery as Santa Ana's has
been for blood,-ran through every adventure
of fortune, to rise and fall, to be exiled and recall
ed,-to win thrones and be driven from them,
Ito fight and conquer, and be conquered, and,
finally, to end the drama Of ambition in unut-
terable wretchedness and degradation, and ia
chains
After giving a detailed account of his eleva-
ton from obscurity in 1871, and his subsequent
movements in the military and civil service of
Mexico, the writer closed with the following
sentence:
Santa Ana has often fallen before--never, in
deed, so deeply as now : but he has always ris-
en- again, stronger than ever, tits not impossi-
ble that he may flash up once more into impor-
tance. His couptrymen are the most fickle Of
all people in the world; and Santa Ana, with
all his faults, and in the absence of all the quail
tiles of genius that mark the great man, is by
far the abest one, both as a soldier and states.
man.

were engaged. All her friends were in favor

She then wrote me that as we were so soon to

law will ever bring one farthing of it back to
his bleeding pocket, since, according to the IA
miar ruling in criminal charges of this nature,
the prosecutor must at least exercise ordinary
prudence. The law will not punish one who

charm OF dc,ion witch is rarely heard in public
discourse upon such a topic. Considered as lee

of Mr. Jeffrey on the subject published in the Ed

view Of Swift not inferior to that OF Jeffrey in truth and
force is at the momen, perhaps more impressive but the
Abatement of Jeffrey by reason OF its admirably clear and
ono,.hen.ve arrangement, takes stronger hold upon
the memory and subsequent reflection
