RATHER BoLD.-The Boston Courier, in
noticing new Hotel recently opened in that
city, on the European plan, says
"Lades should not hesitate to patronize it,
There is no reason why they should not have
a lunch or something substantial-a slice of
beef, cut of ham, the leg of chicken, II

desire it, have glass Of wine, or something
more pungent, Just MS if they were at home.
II they will but unite and disrobe themselves
of that shyness which makes them less than
angels-laugh and be merry, and talk natur-
al and free they will improve their own

1t strikes us that the present tendency is
for ladies to "disrobe themselves" not only
of "that shyucss" which is akin to modcsty,
but even of the angelic attribute of modesty
itself. A beautiful woman in n fashionable
restaurant, with glass of brandy and water

should regard, us a rather indclicatc exhibit

PROHIBITION IN PHILADELPHIA.

A correspondent of the Evening Mirror,

ner in which the Prohibtory Liquor Law,
which recently took effect in that State, is
regarded:
"You will remember in my last letter it
was predicted that the Liquor Law would, as
far rs this city was concerned at !enst. prove
Il dead letter. That prediction has come 10
pass The so called Prohibition was to com.
meuce on Monday last. A large number of
our citizens had been preparing themselves
for the loss of their accustomed beverage by
taking an unusual quantity of the creature

were crowded by those anxious to have So

But on Monday morning what was the agree
able surprise of these worthless to discover
that the great law, about which so much was
said and written, had proved nullity. "Morn-
ing smiles" were still found for those who
wished to bask in their sunshine, and the
glowing faces of the bar-tenders indicated
that for the sake Of obliging their friends,
and pocketng their sixpences, they were will

this law. Our policemen have, however,
gone to work in the right way by arresting
those guilty of drunkenness; this is in reall-

NAPOLEON TRIUMPHANT.

| The fortunes of no man of modern times
says the N. Y. Mirror, have exhibited suci
marked and extraordinary changes as the re.
cent career of Louis Napoleon. A few years
since he was known only as a dcspised and
neglected exile whose infatuation with the
fame of his great uncle had led him into va
rous visionary projects and conspracies
against the regning dynasty in France In
istence, he was scarcely recognized by the
noble eXiles from his own land, and entirely
ignored by the British Government. No man
drcampt at that day what a conspicuous place
he would shortly occupy on the theatre of
European affairs.
In fact, the career of Louis Napoleon bears
an exact resemblance to the varying fortunes
of the French people. Since the American
War of Independence introduced the revolu-
tionary spirit into France, and directly con-
tributed to that tremendous revolution which
gave scope to the genius of Napoleon Bona
parte, and shook the dynastics of Europe to
the very brink of ruin, the French nation has
enjoyed only litful periods of repose. Revo.
luton in quick succession in that distracted
country, and probably she exhibits at this
moment under the iron rule of Napoleon, n
more contented spirit, and a greater disposi-
tion to acquiesce in the present order Of
things, than she has shown during the last
sixty years. Step by step, in mastery pro-
gression, Louis Napoleon rose to the position
of Emperor ofthe French people; and though
pcrfdy and iniquity have marked his course
from the beginning, and eliminated in one
crowning act Of crime in his celebrated coup
detat, yet he has pursued his purpose so
steadily and surely, and with such remarka-
bic display of ability, that the world is plaza
ted in his favor, and joins in hcralding his
genius and shouting his praises. So true is
it, that success is the measure of fame, and
covers multitude of sins.
No man ever committed greater sins against
popular liberty than Lonis Napoleon, yet no
man rivals his immense popularity at this day
in Europe. Witness the recent rejoicing
among all classes of the people at the fall of
Sebastopol, and how universally the credit of
that enterprise is awarded TO the French EN-
peror Even the London Times joins in heap
ing the aureIs of this great triumph on his
head, while the whole Englah people, how
ever much they may be secretly annoyed at
the superior ustre of the French arms and
French military genius, are unanimous in
the gigantic abilities and the
logged perseverance Of Napoleon, in bring
ing TO pass his renowned proclamation, ".Se-
jGstop0l est prise"
Whether the future will Justify these ar
dent praises of the genius of the French En-.
peror, and whether 4 happy denouement of
the war in the East, and the temporary pros
lration Of Russian power, will have the effect
to establish on 4 firm basis the "Napolcon |
Dynasty" in France, remains to be seen.-
But that the partial overthrow of SebastO-
poll and the temporary discontinue of Rus.
