facts and and specalafiops upen this subject
General Prince Napolsa6s Bonaparte, son of the
Emperor's Uncle jerome, at present stands
next the throne as successor of Napoleon All.
But his chaace of succeeding him, according to
this correspondent, is eminently- problcmaticai.
It seems that the Emperor, failing natural Issue
of his own body. may adopt an heir, who would
then take the place imperial Prince and heir
TO the throne between the Emperorsand Prince
Napoleen.-Upon his assumption Of iml,eriaf
power. the Emperor refused to adopt his cousiH
s;,s ana e. shsm s'a
Emp3Edf has H1teady designated in His own
mind, in the event of Eugenia failing to become
a mother, the heir of his thronc.-This is sup
posed to be one Of the sens of the Roman Re-
publican Ex-President Prince Caniao, ard is
Bonaparte throughout, being the grandson OIL
the paternal side of Lucian Bonapnrte, and Oh
the maternal side Of Joseph Bonaparte, brothers
of Napoleon /.
The same correspondent also mentions that
highly derogatory.reports are in circulation iu
Paris, in reference to Gen. Prince Bonaparte,
who is returning from the Crimea, though they
do not much harm his reputation. These re-
ports Indicate that the military career of the
Prince does not present striking resemblance
i'll heroism to that of the first General Bona
parte. The allies it is believed, take Sc
bastopol without the aid of the Prince. But
the correspondent reiteFates his incredulity Of
these disparaging runIors. IIe says that Ire has
felt sure from the beginning, and has more than
once said SO in his letters, that Napoleon III
would allow no Bonaparte to gain military dis
tincton. Especially would serious military
career be closed to the Prince Napoleon Bona
parte, who bears personally striking a
sembance to his uncle Napoleon If allowed
to establish for himself substantive reputation
general, why, with his name, Napoleon
RDnaparte, and his strong resemblance in fea-
to- fhe ha OnI hav
to put ON the famous cooked hat, with the his
torical paletot girls, and ride along the lines and
carry every regiment of the French army by
accanation to the cry of Nive PEmpereurl
Napoleon III wonld hold his throne Ivy a very
Insecure tenure in presence of a General Bona
parte of reputation and real ability
There can be no doubt that any real hero,
who can reap laureIs in such barren field as
the Russian war presents whether lie bore tho
name OF u Bonapartc or not, would give Louis
Napoleon great uneasincss.-He Hence he will
make peace as soon as possible, and We shall
he greatly surprised if the Emperor Nicholas,
who kir6ws some thing ef men And things, SUBJ
mits to any sacrifice of territory or honor in the
negotiations now in progress at Vienna. But
it appears the hei., ,ht of absurdity that sens-
bic man like Louis Napoleon should trouble
himself about the succession TO the throne. If
he can hold on to himself till the end of his
natural life he will be lncky man, and more
There is no earthly chance for any successor
of tho name. France, upon his death, will fall
back INTO the arms OF legitimacy some encr-
getlc military aSpirant, or crafty politlcal Jug
gler like himself, will seize the reins of power.

STRoNG-ARMED AND srRoNG-MINDED WOMEN
A dispatch from CincinHnti says:
''At Mount Pleasant, in this county, about
fifty women attacked and demolished n large
quantity of liquor belonging to tavcrn-kcepcr,
and dragged the owner through the iqnor,
which stood six inches deep on the floor. War
rants were sworn ont in the police court for
ahont twenty, bnt the police returned this
afternoon, and reported All inability to make
arrests"
WHERE CoEK CONES rRoM-Cork is nothing
more OF less than the bark of evergreen oak,
growing principally in Spain, and other conn
tries bordering the Mediterranean: in English
gardens it is only curiosity. When the cork
tree is about 5 years old, the cork has attain
ed a thickness and quality suitable for manu-
featuring purposes; and after stripping fur
ther growth Of eight years produces IL second
crop; and so on, at intervals for even ten or
twelve crops. The bark is stripped from the
tree in pieces two inches in thickness, of consi-
derabie length, and Of such width as to retain
the curved form Of the trunk when it has been
stripped. The bark-pceer or cutter makes
slit in the bark, with knife, perpendcularly
from the top OF the trunk to the bottom; he
makes another incis;on parallel to it, and at
some distance from the former, and two shorter
horizontal cuts at the top and bottom. For
stripping off the piece thus isolated, he uses n
kind of knife with two handles and curved
blade Sometimes, after the cuts have been
made he leaves the tree to throw off the bark
by the spontaneous action of the vegetation
within the trunk. The detached pieces
soaked in water, and placed over fire
when they are nearly dry; they are, in fact,
scorched n little on both sides, and acquire a
somewhat more compact texture by this scorch-
ing. In order to get rid of the curvature, and
bring them fat, they are pressed down with
weights while yet hot.
A Hint OF GREAT VALUE TO THE PooR,--
An old and valued friend suggests TO MS the
Importance Of Calling the attention of those
wl..7sc means will not allow the m to provide
themselves with ample supply of bed cloth
ing and Ere wood, to the fact that if they fill
one or two black bottles with water, heated so
that one can hardly hold the hand in it. and
place them, corked tightly, bhe bed at Their
feet, they will sleep comfortably warm without
FIRE in the room, and with much less than tue
xsual auanfty Of bed clothing. In the morn
ing the water in the bottles will be found stl!!
quite warm The practice OF this expedient
will save any family the consumption OF mere
or less wood and afford comfortable nights
rest to many, indeed, who must otherwise suffer
much for sufficient bed covcring.-E1 paper.
