THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.-In the course Of an ac-
count of the opening of the Paris exhibition, Mr..
Greeley thus speaks Of the Empress Eugenie.
Napoleon's appearance was rs unimposing and
unprepossessing as usual: Mathildo if ever attrac
tive, is no longer so; Eugene is one of the few
women whose beauty is not lost on the gazer BE-
cause of the injudcious exaggeration of courtly
admirers. Few Queens can with truth be char
acterized as even pretty; she is all this and some
thing more. Her admirable taste in dress is a
part of her comeliness; if she were defective in
form or feature, she would be driven to some I'M
exceptional device to conceal it. Those who
have seen her often declare that she never APP
peared to better advantage than on this occasion.
1t is said by those who were near her in the Pal
ace that her face bore traces of tears, and
it is hence inferred that some depression of spirit
on her part delayed the movement of the Impcri-
al cortege from the Tuilleres; but such guesses
only serve to- show how idle is all effort to res
train gossip.

Coon HUMoR.-Keep in good humor. 1t is
not great caamites that embitter existence; it is
petty vexations, the small jealousics, the little
disappointmcnts, the "minor mise: les, that make
the heart heavy and the temper sour. Don't let
them. Anger is a pure waste of vitality. 1t
helps nobody, and hlnders everybody. 1t is al
ways foolish, and always disgraccful, except in
some rare cases when it is knded by seeing wrong
done to another; and even that s'noble rage' sell
dom mends the matter. Keep in good humor.
No man does his best except when he is cheer
full. A light heart makes nmbe hands and keeps
tho mind free and alert. No misfortune is so
great as one that sours the temper. Till cheerful
ness is lost, nothing is lost. Keep in good humor.
The company of a good -humorca man is per-
petual feast. He is welcome everywhere. Eyes
glisten at his approach, and difficulties vanish in
his cheering presence. Franklin's indomitab.e
good humor did as much for his country in the old
Congress as Adams fire or Jeferson's wisdom
lie clothed wisdom with smiles and softened con-
tentous minds into acquiescence. Keep in good
humor. --.- q.
A good conscience, sound stomach, and q
clean skin are the elements of good humor. Get
them, and keep in good humor.-Life Illustrated

g England is in the tolls of the charmcr, and
cannot escape; she has been lured into war
without knowing why, and is trying to escape but
don't know how to do it without loss of national
honor. If she backs out she is degraded, and ii
she continues she is lost. ''The leading men of
England says the Times, "manifest an unac-

may. They are losing everything by the war

THE LIBERTY OF THE Press VISDicArED.
The proprietors of the New York Sun some
time ago, published Police Report Of a GER
tain transaction, which called out the parties
implicated who sued the Beaches for libel
After long trial the case has been decided in
favor OF the Sun, the editor Of which thus al
ludes to the matter:
The swindler and ruflian will no longer
shake their fists in the reporters face and dare
him to publish the exposure OF their villainies.
Nor will iudicious publishers and editors be
pestered by the greedy, insolent tribe Of law
yers who scent out libel suits in newspaper col
umns as the jackall hunts for carrion in the
track of the King of the forrest. The scandal
lous "black mailing" system has received a
blow from which it cannot recover; and when
publishers are asked to give ten or twenty dol
lars to avoid a libel suit, trumped up from
some police report, they will refer to the issue
in the Immigrant Runner Case" and advise
the Outraged individual" to look for game in
some other quarter.
That's the way TO talk. Let villains be ex-
posed wherever they may exist, and thus rid
society of the rotten stuff which floats on
the surface of life.

SUED FOR LIpEL.--We learn that Hon.
DAVID OLMsrED, former editor of the Demo-

Coll, of the steamer Henrietta. Damages
laid at $1,000. The cause of the suit is an ar
ticle which appeared in the Democrat while
under the charge of Mr.. Olmsted, in regard
to difficulty with the sheriff of Clayton county
and the hands Of the boat, and difficulty with
the hands Of the same boat and certain officers
al Saltwater.
We know but little of the truth Of the char
ges preferred by the Democrat, but we do
know that Mr. Olmsted welded graceful and
courteous pen while presiding over the columns
OF that paper, and ii injury was done, it did not
spring from ''malce atorethought," and herein
lies the strong points of a libel.
