ANEcDoTE OF NAPOLEON AND THE La
DIEs.-Dr. Baird, in late lecture at St.
Louis, related an amnscing anecdote of Ma
poleon te Grande and the ladies who at
tended his first grand reception ball at the
Tulleries. The old nobility had departed,
and everything was new. The invited
guests were mostly military officers and
their wives. Some two thousand ladies
were present. When supper time came,
they, Of course, took precedence of the gem
ue'ncn. Aquestion. arose who had the
right to 90 first. The great dining-room
hall was thrown open, admitting them, and
the doors were then closed, and the officers
OF the palace found it impossible to open
them. The dispute among the ladies grew
warm. One lady said the right was hers,
as her husband was a great General but
she soon found that others maintained, on
one ground or the other, that their claims
were greater. Meanwhile the officers could
not get the door open, and in CONSERVATION
one of them fastened to the First Consul,
and asked him how they shouldtsettle the
question Of precedence. "Oh." says Bona
parte, "gothing is easier, tell them that the
eldest is to 60 tirst!' The officer reported
TO the ladies she first ConsuIs decision, and
instantly they all fell back! This gave the
officers an opportunity to get the doors
open, when, to their astonishment, none of
the ladies were willing to go first. After
standing in that ridiculous position for a
moment they began to laugh heartily at
their own folly, AMI all marched into the
dining hall without delay. This, said DR..
Baird, is one Of the thousand and one stories
they tell in Paris Of the "Great Napoleon"
10 illustrate the readiness Of his wit.

The Central American Treaty.

The London Times concludes an article
on the reported rejection by the Senate OF the
Dallas Treaty, as follows:
Now, the course Of this country is perfect
ly clear. The negotiations which the Brit
lSh Government opened in the course of last
yearswere honestly intended to put an end
TO difference between two nations which a
common interests should naturally unite.
The convention with Honduras was conclud-
cd, not at our instigation, but in consequence
of special mission from that republic. Tho
treaty with the United States was the work
ofan American Minister who had not long
lett his own country, and must have been
acquainted with its feelings and interests.
Cur course received the appreciation of the
American Government and Of the Ancri-
can people
Yet it seems that a party in the Legisla-
ture docs not hesitate To overthrow all that
has been done, and to endanger the present
friendly relations between the two countries
Our hands are therefore, clean. The direct
interest of Eng in the Whole matter is
very small. We care nothing about tho
Musquito Protectorate we do not want
the Bay Islands ; and our whole concern
in Honduras is limited TO free transit
across the territory, in case the contemplat-
ed railway should ever be constructed. The
Americans have SO little political counec-
ton with any nation but England, that
diplomatic campaign against us engrosses
the attention and interest Of the whole peo-
pie.
We, on the other hand, regard such diff.
ferences as Of secondary Importance to the
coucerns OF European policy. Hence, in all
these questions the American politicians
aim is victory; that of the Englishman is
TO be diScnbarasscd of vexations and
uniuteligiblc controversy. In the present
case we can very well afford to wait and
see what arc the precise objections of the
American Senate, and what new demands
Mr. Dallas will have to made, after declar-
ing himself satisfied with the settlement
which was made four months ago.

RAILROAD FROM TERRE HAUTE TO africa.
The Evansville Journal urges the extension
of the Evansville and Charlottesville railroad,
which now has its northern terminus at this
city, to Attica, or some point on the Wabash,
to intersect with the Toledo, Wabash and
Western Railroad. This would give the peo-
pie Of Evansville, as well as Terre Haute, a
direct railroad connection with Lake Erie
The project strikes us as favorable one-and
one in which we think the people of Terre
Haute and Evansville are equally interested
For our part, We should like to sec some ac-
ton taken on the subject by our citizens. No
one can, for moment, doubt that direct line
Of railroad from the Ohio to Lake Erie, pass
ing, as it does, through a rich and populous
country, will be anything else than a source
of profit to stockholders. 1t is an important
work, and We hope all interested, will give it
their earnest cooperation and aid

tttF On Monday the Goth ult., the town OF
Bowling Green, Ky, was the scene Of several
fights and shooting affairs, disgrsceful to all
concerned. a lottery drawing came of in the
morning of Monday which drew large
crowd to the place. Disputes arose about the
tickets, and slung shots and revoiyers were
used in style creditable to the Portand-bar
room. No one was killed outright but seve
raj were seriously injured, including one man
who was knocked of his horse with piece of
iron. The skirmshng lasted through the
night, and wound up in the morning by a
fight between two merchants OF the place. in
which one of the parties was nearly killed by
a brick thrown by looker-on. Bowling
Green is a fast blaze and ought to apply for
a city charter at once.

SMUGGLING ARREsTED.-We mentioned q
few days ago the seizure of. $4,000 of dia-
monds by the custom house officers in New
York. They were contained in the bottom OF
q box four feet square, which the officer had
examined and passed; but afterwards acciden-
tally hitting it with his foot, he heard gng-
ling which could not be made by the reported
contents Of the box; he thought proper to re-
examine it, and in doing so, took Off the bot
tom instead of the top, and by this lucky
blunder discovered false bottom, and be
tween it and the true bottom large quantity
of valuable diamonds.
The box was instantly seized, and Hcnle
Brothers, to whom it was consigned, We're ar
rested. This box was the only lot Of goods
on the steamers belonging to this firm. 1t
was taken to the Custom House. and thor
ough examination made Of it's contents. The
diamonds were worth $4,000. The upper
part Of the box was filled with variety OF
precious stones and canoes.
Several officers were dispatched to the store
Of the arrested parties, and the entire contents
Of their safes, embracing diamonds and valu-
able stones amounting to over $4,000,
were removed to the Custom House
The parties are the largest importers of
precious stones in New York, having several
branch houses in Europe. They were held
to bail on a charge of defrauding the revenue.
The property will be forfeited if condemn
ed.

@In Providence, r. l., the mercury fell
to 20 deg. below zero, on the 23d-the coolest
weather ever noted in that latitude. The
same day, the thermometer at the Office oil
the Albany Evening Journal, Indicated 81
degrees below zero. The steam pipes were
frozen and the presses could not be worked
with stiffened ink. The compositors could
only work with overcoats on, and the windows
were so thickly frozen with snow and frost as
to obstruct the light, requiring the use of gas
in the day time. This state of things lasted
nearly the, days, and will be recorded as the
coolest weather ever experienced in that city.

W The correspondence between jeff. Da.
Wis and Gov. Bisseli has been published in
which it has been charged a challenge was
passed and accepted, which ought to have
precluded Bissell from accepting the office Of
Governor Of Illinois. The correspondence
justifies the construction placed on it by Gov
Bissell. Mr.. Davis, in one Of his notes, re.
quests Bissell to designate friend to receive
note, and Bissell named Maj Cross of the
army. The seconds Of the parties met to ar
range preliminaries, but before any discussion
was had by the seconds, friends interviewed
the note Of Col. Davis was withdrawn, and
the whole affair satisfactorily adjusted. The
entire withdrawal Of Col. Davis note, with
drew the challenge before it was virtually
accepted.

OF A suit was brought before the Marine
Court of New York city, Gilchrist Us Mclean
last week, to recover $500 bet upon the re.
suit of the last Presidential election. Mr..

the cause, stating that he should be under the
necessity of asking for a commission to exam
inc James Buchanan, President elect on be.
half Of the defendant, if he should fail to pre-
cure the personal attendance of that dstin-
guished parsonage. The cause was set down.
by Judge Thompson for the 9TH of February
in order to give time to consult the President
elect. The public will be curious to know
the bearing of Mr.. Buchanan's testimony in
this important case.

of all correct principles Of business. These
laws have been pronounced unconstitutional
by the Attorney General of the State and no
attempt has been made to enforce them, and
the parties who have attempted to impose
these stringent restraints upon foreign Offices
have kept their own business clear from all
legal regulations and the people are now with
out any proper legal protection.
As few foreign agencies still remain in the
State ready to test the validity Of laws against
them, new modes Of annoyance Are being de-
vised to root them out. An act has been in
troduced in the present Legislature affixing a
penalty Of ten to twenty per cent. month
on the amount of all claims which foreign
insurance company may delay to pay. If an
unjust claim for 81 900 be made against them,
and they refuse to submit to il, and the claim
ant sues and has the amount reduced to $500,
the office is to pay ten or twenty per cent per
month on the $500 for the time the matter is
in suit But the boldest outrage upon every
principle of law and right is the provision in
the same act, that such foreign companies as
do business in this State shall designate one
Of their agents as principal agent-that he
shall file with certain officer, certain papers
and among them a sworn statement Of the
amount Of their capital stock, which said
amount Of their capital stock shall be subject
to taxation as property at the place where sucf
principal agent resides.
That is. if New York company with cap
ital of 81, 600, 600 has a general agent in Ev
ansville they must pay city, county ant
State tax on the whole amount of five mil
lions into our treasury. Such enactments-
or the introduction, even, of such bill is de
rogatory TO the Legislature of the State. The
bill makes one other provision by way Of eli
max, that pei cent Of the gross premium
shall be paid over to the. county for the sup
port ola fire department. The effect Of al
this discreditable legislation, will be, that the
people Of this State will be compelled to g
abroad to effect their insurance, where they
will be dependent upon foreign laws and for
eign courts to enforce their contracts; or they
must pay for all these unjust Penalties and
exactions, in the end, out oitheir own pockets
Foreign companies are not coming here to dc
business without profit, and every charge
levied upon them by the State, is charged in
their premiums and collected off the people; 81
the people only tax themselves through them
and gain nothing in the end by their unwise
policy.

0T The American principles are the in
nate sentiments Of every native citizen, and
they will burst forth and have their sway in
spite Of the discipline and tyrany of party
dictation. Both Democrats and Republicans
feel the necessity of yielding to their infu-
ence. The Republican Convention in this
State declared themselves in favor of an al
teration Of the Constitution excluding foreign
ers from the right OF suffrage till they were
legally citizens of the country. The Demo-
cratic Legislature Of South Carolina have just
passed law requiring a residence of two
years alter naturalization before granting the
right Of voting to foreigner. A similar law
exists in the Democratic State of Louisiana
without any attempt to repeal it. Republic
cans in the Legislature Of Ohio are exhibiting
the performance Of the American sentiments
in many Of their recent acts. The Republic
cans Of Pennsylvania required assurances
from Mr.. Cameron of his faith in the true
American doctrines before electng him. The
leading Democratic paper Of Virginia is now
opposing foreign immigration. and outrases the
most ultra Know Nothingism, by proposing
to exclude foreigners from the right to settle
in the State Of Virginia. A letter of the
Democratic Mayor Wood, of New York, has
found its way into the papers in which he
expresses strong convictions of the political
and social evils Of admitting an indiscrim-
nate foreign immigration.
