Louis Napoleon.

During the winter of 1928 or 1929
whilst on visit with his aunt, the Grand
Duchess Of Baden Louis Napoleon was
walking one day on the banks of the
Rhine, accompanied by that lady, his
two cousins, the Princesses Josephine
and Mary, and several personages ofthe
court The conversation turned on the
ancient French gallan,ry. The Prin.
cess Mary, of au original and witty turn
of mind, entered into an enthusiastic
culogium on the ages of cbivalry she
exalted the devotedness of the brave
knights who took for their motto, God
my King, and my lody," to remain
faithful to which they recoled before
no dangers and no sacrifices. To this
Iicturc of the olden virtues she contras.
ted another of the selfish vices Of the
modcrns. Louis Napoleon took up the
discussion with ell the warmth of hi s age
He contented that, in the matter Of cour-
age and gallaptry, the French had not
degenerated, and that they were still
willing to do for the ladies all that their
fathers had done. "Ncver," he added,
has devotion been wanting to women
who can inspire it," At this moment
they arrived at the spot where the Neck
er rnsles into the Rhine, struggling
with impetuosty to force It's way through
the waters of that river 1t here pre-
sented the aspect Of raging sea. This
was the end of their walk They were
proceeding slowly along the bank of the
Neckar the ladies had enough to do to
protect their toilets against violent,
breeze. when flower detached by sud
den blast from the hair of Princess
Mary. was blown into the river.
See" cried the thoughtless girl,
laughing at tue mishap; "that would bo
splended opportunity to a knight of
old" Aud saying these words she
showed tie prince the poor flower, which
hurried along by the rapid current, was
fast disappearing in the foam.
"Ah, cousin" cried Louis Napoleon,
"this is challenge Well, accept it,"
And on the instant, before any one
could 'thihk OF stopping him, he plunged,
clothes. and all, into the raging waters,
Conceive the CONSERVATION of the du-
chess. Of all present, particularly Of the
young princess whose imprudeDt jest had
occasioued such an act Of audacity.
They sbrieked, they cried for help, they
were in despair.
In the mean time the prince swan
vigorously struggling against the vio'
lcncc of the waves. For long time he
disappeared behind tie pillows but at
last, after extraordinary efforts, he was
seen holding the precious flower in his
hand, to regain the shore, safe aud sound,
but frozen.
"Here," said he, take your rose, my
fair cousin but for Gods sake" he con.
tinucd, laughing and pointing at his
dripping garments, let us hear no more
of your Knights of old."-Roth's Nopo.

ADVERTISING OBITUARY. Died on the
llth inst, at his shop No 20 Greenwich
street, Mr. Edward Jones, much respected
by all who knew and dealt with him. As
a man, he was amiable as halter, up
right and moderate. His virtues were
beyond all price, and bis beaver hats were
only three dollars each. He has left a
widow to deplore his loss, and large
stock to be sold cheap for the benefit of
his family He was snatched to the other
world in the prime of lifo just as he had
concluded an extensive purchase Of felt,
which he got so cheap that the widow can
supply hats at more reasonable rate then
any house in the city. His disconsolate
family will carry on business with pune
tuality.

The Better Thought.

The Better Thought.
The Better Thought how oft In days
When youthful passion fired my breast
And drove me into devious ways.
Didst thou my wandering steps arrest,
And whispering gently in mine ear
Thine angel message, fraught with love,
Check for the time my mad career,
And melt the heart naught else could movc7
Thine was no stern and harsh rcbuke;
No " friends advice" so true, so cold;
No message wise, snch as in book,
Or by the teacher oft is told,
Which like the pointless arrow, falls.
And rings perhaps with hollow sound,
But ne er the wanderer recalls,
But ne'er innicts the healing wound.
Thy voice was gentle, winning mild;
Thy words told thou vert from above,
Like those with which the wayward child
Is wooed by fond mothers love;
Or like strain of music stealing
Across the calm and moonit seas
Which moves the heart Of stcrncst feeling.
And wakes its deeper harmonies.
Sweet was thy presence, welcomed guest;
And responsive to thy call
Arose. and felt within my breast
A power that made the fettcrs fall
From off my long enthrallcd soul
And woke, as with magic spell,
Glicfs which yet owed the soft control
OF hopes that all might still be well.
But ah, thou vert AN injured guest;
How soon departed, soon forgot,
We're all the hopes of coming rest
That clustered around the Better Thought
The tender griefS, the firm resolves,
The yearnings after better days,
Like transient sunlight which diss"lvcs,
And leaves no traces of its rays
Yet despair not-through the night
That long has reigncd with tyrant sway,
Fen now see the opening light,
The harbinger of coming day;
To Heaven now direct my prayer
o God of love, forSakc me not
Grant that my waywardncss may necr

ANOTHER SUICIDE OF You've GIRL, AND
ALL FOR LOvE.-Sunday morning, Coroner
Whitney was called upon TO hold an inquest
over the remains Of one Catherine Hogan,
who died suddenly about eight a. m at the
house Of Mr.. Hendy, No. 81 Water street
The inmates of the house had no idea Of the
real cause of death until DR.. Willet was called
in, who pronounced it to be poison. The jury
returned a verdict in accordance with the tes-
timony. In her pocket was found note, for
a copy of which we are indebted to the Coro-
ner. 1t is not directed to any one, and runs
as follows:
Remember me to Tim. Dwyer. I am 60
ing to die tor the love of a young man. His
name is Joseph Eagan. He boarded when
lived-at the house of Mr.. r. Wheeler, No.
19 South street, East Troy. he works at No
II Fulton street He first taught me to love
him, and then he deceived me; and for his
sake. I will die. Tell him to come and bury
me
"Eagan has my ambrOtype, and tell Tim
Dwyer to get it. He has red hair. He covers
sofas and makes mattresses
"Go to the stage Office in Broadway, and
get my trunk and hat box"
She has been in this country but two or
three years, and at one time was a domestic
in the family of Mr.. SatterIee, of this city
She has no relatives in this country. Her pa
rents, who are in Ireland, are said to be in
comfortable circumstances. She is repre-
sented as being fne looking girl, of about
70 years Of age.-AL6any ArguS.

He MAKES NO SIGS.-It is not more than a
month since the charge Of Romanism was
brought against Fremont, but the public las
been favored with no denial from him, or by
his expressed authority. Now, we ask, would
not Thurlow Weed, who is in daily intercourse
with Fremont, have published before now an
authorized denial if such an one could be Oh.
tanned Realizing, as We know Weed does,
the real necessity Of crushing out the charge
of ROmanisn, would he not, If he could have
obtained something from Fremont that could
be deemed contradiction? Most assuredly.
Everybody knows that il Fremont would
speak single word of comfort to bis support
ers in this new trouble, be would do so at once
He has been challenged to deny or authorize
a denial of his Romsnism, and yedhe is silent.
Weed and the supporters of Fremont have
been challenged TO put forth such denial,
and yet they are silent. OF Fremont, touch
ing the charge of Romanism. il may be said
he makes no sign but that of the cross, as all
good Romanist do.-dfbaRy Statesman.
