BoxAPARTE's POVERTY IN EARLY LIFE
Theirs, in his history Of the Consulate, re-
lates some strange and previously unknown
particulars respecting the early life and pen
ury of Napoleon Bonaparte.
ltappears that after he had obtained
subaltern's commission in the French service
by his skill and daring at Toulon, he lived
sometime in Paris in obscure lodgings, and
in such extreme poverty that he was often
without the means of paying ten sons (ten
cenis) for his dinner, and frequently went
without any. lie was under the necessity
of borrowing small sums, and even worn out
clothes from his ucquaintnnces. He, and
his brother Louis, afterwards KING OF Hol-
land, had at one time only a cost between
them, 30 that the brothers could only 90 out
alternately, time and time shout. At this
crisis, the chiet bencocior Of the future eni-
peror and conqucror, "at whose mighty name
the world grew pale,'' was the actor Tal,na,
who often gave him wood and money. Ma
polcon's face, afterwards SD fumed for it's clas-
sic mould, was, during that period Of stnrva-
ton, harsh and angular IN its lineamcnts,
with projecting cheek homes.
His meagre fare brought on an uupleasa mt
and unsightly cutaneous disease, OF q type go
virulent and malignant, that i, took all the
skill and assiduity Of his accomplished phys
lei IN, Corvsort, to expel it, after duration
oil more than ten years.
The squalid beggar then, the splendid EN-.
peror aiterwards--the threadbare habiliment,
and the imperial mante-the hovel, and the
palace-the meagre food, and the gorgeous
banquet-the friendship Of poor actor-the
homage and terror OF the would-an exile aud
a prisoner. Such are the ups and downs OF
this changeful lfe-such are the lights and
shadows Of the great and mighty.

Ex-GovERSoR FooTE.-A correspondent,
of the Natchez Free Trader, writing from,
California, says that this notable gentlemau
arrived out there recently and was welcomed
and dined by facti IN of the Democratic par.
ty.
During his short soiourn here, says the
writer, he has, (unwittingly, however) become
most unpleasantly mixed up with our local
politics, and estranged mary of the frst men
Of the State from him, who would otherwise
have been of great service to him. He fur
;her compliments him as follows: He is o
thoughtless indiscreet man, and can do and
say, in given length Of time, more ridiculous
things than anybody living. III am sorry he
should have taken a wrong start here, be-
cause ! esteem him very highly, and should
be pleased to see him succeed"

the house.

presented himself at the counter, and taking
his draft from his pocked-book, extending it
before the paying teller, and to his astonish-
ment said, "You see that once" and folding
the draft he walked away. The next morn
ing he appeared again, and going through
the same form, said, "You see that twice."
The third day he appeared again, and said
again, "You see that three times. Now yon

Nebraska and Anti.N e b ra lxa N settings.
Some of the Democrats of Cincinnati held
Nebraska meeting at that city last Friday
night, as an opposition meeting to that held
BY other Democrats week or two previous
in opposition to the Nebraska bill. We learn
from the Gazette, Times, Sun, Commercial
and Atlas, of Cincinnati, that the meeting
did not number more than from FIVE to seven
hundred persons. The call was signed BY
three hundred Democrats, while the call TO,
the anti-Nebraska meeting was signed BY one
thousand. The Gazette says:
The meeting for which the Simon pure
democracy Of this county have been SO long
laboring, came off last night. Notice was
given weeks ago that such a meeting would
De held, and every means used to insure a
large gathering. Douglas and other high
priests OF Democracy were invoked to attend.
These means were all redoubled as the ap-
pointed time drew near; and, when that time
arrived, bands of music paraded the streets,
all tending towards the secluded spot, and on
that spot rockets were fired, Roman candles
burnt, and all the attractive power of bon
hres and illumination put in operation to draw
crowd. Nature itself seemed to favor the
occasion, for the evening was warm, balmy
ana summerlike, inviting everybody to be
OUT. Yet nature and art both failed; they
were on the wrong side of the question. No
more than six or seven hundred were pre-.
sent, and they destitute of all enthusiasm,
and half of them having no sympathy with
the call, as was shown by their voting against
all the motions put, making the nays equal To
the yeas, and leaving the chairman hims I'll!
In doubt how to decide. There was no life
In the concern-even Pugh could not raise a
s s' only when he referred to George
washington, Andrew Jackson, Chas. Rem.
elm Dr. Fries, or some other renowned
Democrat.
On the same evening, the German Demo
erafs held an anti-Nebraska meeting, which
numbered nearly seven thousand persons!-
Rather dreadful blow in opposition to tn,
other Democratic meeting. 1t adopted stron,
resolutions against the Nebraska bill.

o. Our neighbor makes feeling appeal
to the editor of the Louisville Journal for an
exchange, and among other reasons, gives
the following why he desires an exchange:
"Thirdly, and most potently, Mr.. A. III.
Sanders, who edits the Evansville Journal,
tries to ape Mr.. Prentice, and frequently bor-
rows from his columns. Now we want the
Journal to compare notes and convict our
neighbor of plagiarism whenever he has any
thing witty"
AS much an admirer of Mr.. Prentice as we
most certainly are, we mus; respectfully de-
cline the imputaton of being an imitator of
him, in anything but a sincere desire to do
our duty under all circumstances, honestly,
faithfully and vigorously. II our amiabIe
ncighbor thinks our wit is like Prentice's, he
no doubt made the discovery through its Prem
tician edge. We shall probably give him SO
much of this wit, that ere long he will swear
Prentice is apeing US. AS for copying from
the Louisville Journal, we grant the impeach.
