bition of a street jugglcr than of calcu.
lating politician.
The name Of Louis Napoleon was
known throughout the world; but it is
probable it was spoken by few individu-
ais, previous to 1850, excepting in tones
of mingled disgust and contempt. Pri.
vately or publicly, he had either done
or attempted enough low mischief to
disgrace him in the eyes of all moral
and thinking men and it is therefore
no wonder that the affected British pa
triotism of the representative of Eng
lands greatest and most dangerous enc.
my should have excited suspicion and
loathing in the minds of those whom, by
joining the anti -Chartist movement in
London, he had intended to propitiate.
Not only at that time, but at far more
subsequent period, he was spoken of by
the British press as detestable, trouble
somO reptile, outlawed from humanity
by his own acts, whom every one might
lawfully slaY that should find him. Only
one great man in Europe seems to have
discerned the latent greatness hidden
from view by the more prominent rub
bish in Louis Napoleon's character.
With Sir Robert Peel he was ever hos
pitably entertained, if not welcome
guest; and the great English Statesman
more than once prophesied that, notwi.h-
standing the mountebank tricks of Bou-
logne and Str0sburg, the son of the King
of Holland would one day become, like
his uncle, the Emperor of the French.
Neither did Louis Napoleon ever for an
instant lose faith in his own destiny. In
the darkest and most discouraging mo-
ments of his career, he proclaimed the
most assured hopes of eventually attain
ing the Imperial diadem.

PERILS OF THE BORDER.

have occasionally occupied leisure
moment in writing for the press Incl.
dents of the war Of 1912, and other mat
ters connected with the early history o.
Michigan. Among the incidents of that
war, the following facts were related tc
me, few days since, by Mrs Cecilia
Campau, wife of Edward Campau, Esq,
of Springwells. This case is one only OF
the innumerable perils aud sufferings
which our people endured in those days.
In 1918, Mr.. Nicholas Boyer, the
father of Mrs. Campau, resided with his
family, consisting of himself, his wifs and
four childrcn-the eldest Mrs Campau)
then a girl of some twelve years of age
-on the Clinton River, at that time
called the Upper Huron, His house
was several miles above what is now Mt.
Alemens.
One day in October, 1918, Mr.. Boyer
was sitting in his house, with his family
around him. Mrs. Boyer went into the
warden, and, while there, she noticed five
Indian warriors stoalthily approaching
the house. She suspected that they in
tended mischief, from their manner,
and so concealed herself as they en-
tered the house. The band consisted OF
Kish-kau-ko, or the Cedar; Che-mo -ka-
nun, or the Big. Knife, called by the
French +" lie Grand Couteau;" Po-com.
lyon, or the Tomahawk-c chiefs some.
wha: known to fame-and tive other
warriors. Mrs. Boyer watched the house
for some time from her hiding-place,
with trembling anxiety for the result,
and soon became satisfied that the Indi-
ans had some evil design. Being unable
to render any assistance, she determin-
ed to make her escape as sooI as posi-
BILE. The Indians knew, from appearan-
ces, that she was not far off, and made
close search for her. Though they
passed several times very near to her,
they did not find her. After they re-
turned to the house, she started off
through the thick woods. The Indians
made prisoners of Boyer and his chill
drep, and also of Tick ke-sho, friendly
Indian, who happened to be at the house
They also took all the property that
could be of any use to them. The feath-

PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF MARSHAL
PELIss1ER.-The following is an extract
from private letter, dated before Se-
bastopol:
Il was rather surprised at the personal
appearance of the French commander of
the forces. From his character, I expec-
ted to have seen young, active man !;
whereas Gen. Pellissier is an enormous
ly fat man, with very white hair, which is
cut very close he is SO fat that he is un-
able to ride any distance. He was in an
open carriage drawn by four grays, and
two soldiers as outsiders, and an Arab
with white flowing robe followed it.
The General was dressed in uniform, with
number of decorations on his breast.
and over his shoulders he wore a white
cloak, somewhat similar to those worn
BY the Arab chiefs. He is not very tall,
and his face has rather good-humored
expression, and quite different from wha.
your Imagination would portray from
his history, either here or in Africa.

THE MAN THAT KISSED THE
THREE GIRLS.

The young man whS boarded at d
house in the country, where were several
coy damsels who seemed to imagine that
men are terrible creatures whom it was
an objectionable sin to look at, was one
forenoon accosted by an acquaintance,
and asked what he thought of the young
ladies with whom he boarded He re.
piled that they were very shy and re-
served. .,5fr
So they are" returned the other,
{" and so much so, that no gentlemen
could get near enough to tell the color Of
their eyes
That may be-" said the boarder
quickly, but I will stake million that
1 can kiss them all three without any
trouble"
"That you cannot do,n DRIED bis
friend, cit is an achievement which
neither you nor any other man can ae-
complish."
The other was positive, and invited
his friend to the house to witness his
triumph. They entered the room To-
gether, and the three girls wore all at
home sitting beside their mother, and
they all looked as prim and demure a.
John Rogers at the Stake.
Our hero assumed a very grave aspect,
even to detection, and having looked
vistfully at the clock, breathed a sigh as
deep as Algebra and as long as female
dialogue at street door, His singular
department now attracted the attention
of the girls who cast their opening eyes
upward to his countenance. Perceiving
the impression he had made, he turned
to his companion and said in 4 doleful
voice:
at wants three minutes of the time ~
Do you speak of dinner ?" said the
old lady laying down her sewing work
Dinner p' said he, with bcwildersd
aspect, and pointing as If funconsciously,
with curled forefnger at the clock.
A silence ensued during which the fe-
male part Of the household glared at the
young man with irrepressible curiosity.
"Yo ou will see me dscently INFERRED"
he said turning away to his friend.
His friend was as much puz1led as
anybody present, and his embarrassment
added to the intended effect; bat the
I'D lady being no longer able to retain
lerself cried
"Mr. C, pray what do yOu speak
,f?"
" Nothing" answered he in lugubri>
US tone, "but that last night spirit
ppcared unto mep' (Here the girls
ose to their feet aud drew near "And
he spirit gave me warning that should
lie exactly at twelve o'clock to-day, aud
on see it wants but half a minute Of the

of the Russian poet, Griboiedoff, and the
Emperor gave him Division of the I'm

General
In 1926, he was appointed to the COM
mand in the Caucasus, being SO poor at
the time, that he was forced to borrow q
furred cloak from one of his subalterns
for the long journey. With an army of
"a 200 men, he destroyed much larger
force of the enemy at Elisavetopol For
this service the Emperor presented to
him a golden sword richly set in dia-
monds, with the inscription TO the
conqueror of the Persians at Elisaveto-
pol" The next year he conquered Per-
sian Armenia, and was created Count of
Erivan, receiving 5000, 900 as gift from
the CZar. At the storming of Erivan,
one of his best generals, Bor ozdin, was
killed, leaving wife and family in very
reduced circumstances. Pashkiewitch
sent $40, 900 from his own pocket to the
widow, with letter stating that the
money was found among the papers of
the deceased. .-- ....-.. ...
Pashkiewitch was next employed
against the Turks. In the course of the
at the head of 10000 men,
he was surrounded by two Pachas with
about $4,000. He dispersed them in
three days, one after the other, winning
the decisive battle of Kars, after which
he took the fortress of Akaltzick and the
fortress of Erzeroum. He was now raise d

and the newly-couquered provinces. In
1880, he subjugated several tribes of the
Caucasian mountaineers.

Mrs. Shepard ordsred the remains OF her deceased
husband to be tak-n from the vault, but those EN-
pluypd for the purpose horror struck on finding
the body removed several feet from the coffin the
shroud torn into shreds, and covered with blood Civ
ing the impression that Mr. Shepard had only been
lying in trance, and had recovered after being
placed in the walt. This seems almost TOO horrible
for belief, and understand that relation OF Mr.
Shepard denies the truth of the report and asserts
that such could not have been the case from the fact
that the body was packed in ice for over two days
previous to s being placed in the vault. On the other
hand there are those who contend that Mr.. Shepard
