Domestic Life Of the French Imperial Family

fans correspondent gives the following -
The Prince Imperial was yesterday in spite of tho
coldness OF the weather, taken out for air and ex
ercse IN the garden and conrt of the Tuilleries
In the afternoon his Imperial Hghness was carried
In the carriage, with military escort to the Park
OF Monceaux, where he remained an hour and q
hail. What he may grow up to il is impossible To
say out though strong, healthy looking child,
ne Is lar from Prepossessing in appearance; the
mouth IS gross and altogether uncomely the cheek
bones are long and prominent; the complexion is
swarthy; but he Is luSty young eagle. Scarce
ly nine months old, he rolls himself over and over
after any object which attracts him with surprising
agility, and shows all the germs of future despot-
ism in his determined manner of exercising his
free-wlIl on all matters within his domain. The
tondncSs of the imperial parents is absolutely in
tense, and the genuine amiabIitv of both Is never
more apparent than when the child is in their pres
ence. As to the Empress, it seems to be the only
thing that was wanting to draw out the depths of
her character; and in the duties of maternity she
displays grave solidty and womanly earnestness
of which she was not always supposed capable.
l he health OF the EmperoL if it were affected to
the degree so generally reported, is surprisingly
recovered. He now rises at O'Clock is frequent
ly at work IN his cabinet by candlelight; and at
lO receives his minister's rshals and high func>
tionaries, as heretofore. The only difference dis
covered in him by those most intimately assoeiat-
ed with him-and | am speaking on the hest infor-
mation-is that he is often seized with long fits of
abstraction, and will sit for hours sometimes doing
nothing, and yet il is evident that this is not y
state of inaction. for there are unmstakeable in
dicationS of his mind being in constant operation.
he has an affection of the instep-a sort of tic
douloureux, as he calls (which often prevents
him drawing on his boot and indisposes him to
move about. His general health appears excel
lent, and thus secures him from the imputation Of
gout.

A Savage Custom.

By DR.. LYlngston's account, which We rejoice
in having lately had the opportunity to audit, we
are informed that the natives of the Centra! parts
of Africa, bear, in many points, by no means an
unfavOrable comparison with nations far more
highly civilized: indeed, that several % their
manners and customs might with advantage be
adopted by ourselves. Their marriage laws, how
ever, it would seem from what the Doctor says
are still in a sadly savage state; and had we any
notion of committing matrimony, we should be
among the last to wish TO see them added to oIr
Statute book. Only fancy what falling off there
would be in the Doctors Commons licence busi-
ness, and what mania for emigration all our
British bachelors-eXcept, of course, the old ones
would suddenly be seized with, were the leSis-
lature to give sanction to such notions as the fol-
lowing -
elf young married woman Of a neghbor-
ing village, he left his village and went to live with
his mother-in.law 1t was his duty to pay her the
greatest respect, and to supply her with frewood.
Near the Zambese the young had to make long
journeys into the country in order to procure rewoOd
for their mOthers-in-laW."
Just imagine the effect upon the manageable
members, were measure framed upon this pas
sage to be introduced next Session, entitled (say)
" bill for the better prutect ton of MOthers-in-
law and Tor more effectualy providing them with
ircwood." Certainly, if anything were wanted TO
confirm our previous impression of the hopeless
state of barbarism in which the Central Africans
are sunk, their laws to their mothers-in-law have
abundantly supplied it. Can anything be conceiv-
ed more truly barbarous than this sentencing a
married man to the hard labor Of procuring fuel
for his mother-in-law. The more we think of it,
the more we feel assured that no civilized being
would ever dream Of consent to it. At the same
time, however, we cannot help admitting that al
though with us mother-in-law has not as YET
been legally invested with the power of making
her daughters husband go and cut her frewood
still her influence has not unfrequently proved
strong enough to induce him, for time at least,
to cut his stick.-PuRch.

Point. In n Good Horse.

In purchasing good horse, sight, wind, feet
and limbs must be the uPpermost objects of inqut
ry; for nine horses out of ten defective in one
of these particulars. First, then, examine bis
eyes, and do this before he comes out of the sta
be; see that they perfectly clear and trans
parent, and that the pupils or apples of the eye
are exactly alike in size and color. Next exam
inc his pipes; if good and sound on being nPPed
in the guilet, he will utter sound like that from
a bellows; but if his lungs are touched, and he Is
broken winded, he will give vent to dry, husky,
short cough look to his limbs also and in passing
your hand down his legs, if you find any unnatu-
raj protuberance or puness, if feeling first one
leg then the other, you discover any difference be-
tween them, disease more or less, is present; ne
NAV not be lame, but he is not clean upon his
legs. If he is broad and full between the eyes,
be may be depended on as horse OF good sense,
and capable of being trained to almost anything
If you want gentle horse, get one with more or
less white upon him many suppose that the Partl-
colored horses belonging to circuses, shows, &C.,
are selected for their oddity but 1t IS on account
of their dociiy and genlleness; IN fact' the more
kindly YOU treat horses, the better you will be
treated by them in return.-SPirh Of the Times.

A Lncisl Narrative.

! Billy Williams, the comedian, was one of the
! best Datured men alive. Burton, who delighted
| in ouizzing Billy, once made some inquiries of him
relative to horse belonging to Mr. Hamblin,
(which seemed to rouse Billy, and he thus COM
mcnceG his reply:
/" Now. Burton. I'll tell you about that 'orse
vou see, when first arrived, l said to 'AmbIin,
| Tom wants an 'orse; ave always been used to
! ave an 'orse, and would like to ave one"
"s Billy says he, you know Mazeppa, he has
earned me great deal of money, and will not
permit him TO be misused; but If you want to ride
/ him, you may, and my stage manager, Tom Flynn,
will go with you 10 the stable.
$50 down goes to the stable with Tom Flynn,
and told the man to put the saddle on him."
| "On Tom Flynn 2" says Burton.
| "No, on the 'orse. So after talking with Tom
Flynn awhile, mounted him."
| = What, mounted Tom Flynn ?"
"No, the 'orse: f: and then | shook hands with
him, and rode off"
Shook hands with the horse, Billy"
"No, ang it, with Tom Flynn; and then rode
up the Bowery, and who should meet in front of
| the Bowery Theatre but Tom 'Amblin, so got
off, and told the boy to hold him by the head"
ssWhat hold Hambiu by the head Z"
"No, the 'orse, and then we went and had i
drink together"
"Whatl you and the horse?''
{" No, me and 'Amhlin, and after that l mount
ed him again and went out OF town"
"What mounted HambIin again Z"
"No, the 'orse; and when got to BarnumS s.
who should be there but Tom Flynn-he'd taken
another 'orse and rode out ahead of Inc, SO told
the 'ostIer to tie him up.n
| "TIe Tom Flynn up:"
"No, 'ang it, the 'orse, and we had drink
there"
"What! you and the horse"
"No, me and Tom Flynn. Now look here,
Burton, every time | say 'orse, you say 'Am0lln'
and every time say 'Amblin. you say 'orse Now
| i'm be 'anged if tell you anything more about
Il it,"
Billy felt his dignity insulted, aud no coaxing
on the part of Burton could induce him to finish
the recital.

Freezing 10 Death.

That to be frozen to death must be frshttul
torture, many would consider certain, from their
own experience in the effects of cold. But there
we fall into the usual error of supposing that the
suffering increases with the energy OF ITS agent
which could only be the case if senslblity remain
ed the same. Intense cold brings on speedy sleep,
which fascinates the senses, and fairly begulies
men out of their lives. The most curious exam
ple of the seductive powers OF cold is to De tounu
in the adventures of the botanical party who, IN
Cooks first voyage, were caught in snow storm
on Terra del Fuego. DR.. Solander, by birth
Swede. and well acquainted with the destructive
deceits of a rigorous climate, admonshed the coT-
nany. in defiance of lassitude, to keep mevlng on
!. Whoever sleeps will perish" The doctor spoke
az a SAGE but he felt man. In spite OF lhe
rsmonstrances of those whom he had instructed
and alarmed, he was the first to lie down and die:
The same warning was repeated thousand
times in the retreat from Moscow. Allison the
historian, to try the experiment, sat down IN his
Garden at night, when the thermometer had fallen
Sour degrees below zero, and so quickly did the
drowsiness come stealing on, that he wondered
how soul of Napoleon's unhappy band had-been
able to resist the treacherous infuence.-L0Hd0n

Chinese crfption Of Fanaa,g,.
Written by China nan to his friends in Chin

| lWrltten by China nan TO his friends in China.
| The following translation of Chinese letter is
sent us BY James 'Ianey, Chinese Interpreter, Ct
Chinese Camp, Tro!rmne county.
when wrot, s,a before, l told you of many
wonders in this strange land (; the verify of some
you must have doubted, on account of their
strange nature; but when describe you cere-
mony common TO this people, you will doubt their
civilization, which formerly extolled
| One light came into village called Chinese
Camp, and whilst walking through it, the sound of
music attracted me to the door of the house from
which il issued. When l looked into the large
room, open to the street, beheld a number of
men ard women sitting amongst each other. In q
short time, eight men, with an equal number of
women, commenced running across the floor two
or three times, when each man and woman Joined
hands, and jumped before each other for ahout the
space of one minute, then each letting go their
hold, ran across the floor again and again, and
kept on jumping as before. This ceremony con-
tnned tor about twenty minutes, when all went
and drank liquor together. In few minutes
another eight seized the eight women and cOntIn-
tinued the ceremony before, drinking at inter
walls, as | suppose for the purpose of making the
women drunk. During the course of the evening,
the eight women were once seized in the arms of
as many men, snd swung around and around, the
entire length of the room, for half an hour or So
stopping to drink spirits usual, when they be-
came dizzy. This was the most disgusting part of
the ceremony, as you might imagine; but if you
saw 1t, It would appear worse than | describe.
Just imagine the women here with loose flowing
robes, swinging about, in the arms Of men, and
what a sight will appear to your view We have
nothing in China equal to it. One man in the
course Of the evening jumped alone, and ran along
the room TO the sounds Of the music, in the pres
ence of hundred men, none OF whom seemed 10
heed it, whilst all the time wondered why they
did not laugh at him.
A few days afterwards | came across man
here, who speaks our language and related to him
the whole affair, who, to my utter astonishment,
informed me that they employ science, and have
schools established for the training of people to
perform tbs ridiculous ceremony.
Who is it IN China that could be induced TO be-
lieve, that people far advanced in science,
and most of the useful arts, as this people, could
retain such ridiculous and degrading ceremony
amongst them as dancing in the way they do here?
But it is even all that have told you and most
likely will remain so until they become acquant-
ed with the moral precepts of Kings, when they
will cast aside those ridiculous ceremonies, and
bless our advent here, when we shall have taught
them our arts, and instructed them in the moral
laws of our ilaiuortai Philosopher, Confucius. y

Providing for the Fnture.

NJ. Boulanger, Judge of the Imperial Court of
Paris, who lately died, has, it appears, left no less
than nineiy-hve wills. As he was Of very parsi-
monOus habits, he wrote many of them on the
backs Of letters, tradesmen's bills, and prospectus
cs. Not a few of his legatees are perfect strang-
ers to him, he having selected them from amongst
persons mentioned in the newspapers as having
distinguished themselves by acts of virtue or de-
votedness In one of his last wills he expresses
the desire that his family will not attempt to dis
pnte his bequests. a singular circumstance is
lated of the deceased. He himself wrote letters
to his executors and most intimate friends,
nouncing his death, with the day of his decease
left blank and he ordered his servant to 6l up,
the vacant space the moment he expired, and then.
to despatch the letters, which was done.

Few New Discoveries and Important Facts
We find in the English magazines long list oi
notable discoveries IN science and the arts, some
of which being of extended popular interest, we
present to our readers. Herr Bruckmann, native
of Wurtemburg, has presented to the Society OF
Arts paper on what he styles ' Negative Arte-
sian wells" that is wells which, instead of bring
Ing water to the surface, remove it therefrom The
periodicg noticing the theory says that he 'brings
forward examples of the benefits that have follow
ed the sinking of wells in towns or in swampy
districts. The drainage becomes at once perfect
and constant; fluid matters of all kinds find their
way 10 the mouth, and flow away, while solid mat
ters may be stopped and used in fertilization.
We should like to see this project brought to the
test of fair experiment. What an enormous ex-
pense would be saved in the drainage of London
Tor any other large city) if the sinking few mega
tive wells would really suffice for the discharge of
all its fluid waste"
The old scheme of making boots and shoes by
machinery has been revived by British company,
which expects to turn out two hundred pairs per
day. II is estimated that El0, 100000 per annum
is spent for these articles in Great Britain, of
which vast demand the association hopes to profit
ably avail themselves.
Near Rouen aluminium is now manufactured on
large scale and beets are now used extensively
in the manufacture Of alcohol in France, the refuse
pulp being sold as fodder for cattle. In two esab-
lishments alone last year 100000 kiloe rammes
Ia kilOg gramme Is two pounds, five drachms and
half) of beet-root were converted into alcohol
The French government is determined to make
Algiers cotton-growing country. An annual
prize of 10000 francs is to be given for five years
to the grower of the greatest quantity, and it is
said that the quality and amount cultivated increas
es every year. The sugar millet, of which so
much has been written lately, is now raised in Al
giers and the south of France, and answers expec-
atiOn by its production of sugar, alcohol, and for
age.
A sGpap of Lyons, NJ. Ador, claims to have dis
covered mode of discharsng missiles by electric
ity. He decnmposes water by secret process
and by the explosive force of the gas thus
lated accompishes his object
A correspondent Of the French Academy Of
Sciences claims that the poisonous properties of
paint do not arise from lead or any other mineral
used, but from the turpentine employed in mixing
the paint. In communication TO the same soce-
ty NJ Reynose contends that the formation of sugar
in the blood and its consequence, the malady da-
betes, are entirely occasoDed by imperfect resPlr-
alton. A DR.. Waller, SGo some time since declar-
ed the movement of :ae b.ood to be due to the ac
ton of the pulmonary - $, and not TO that o! The
heart reeraes his not.On, finding it strengthened
by further inquiry. This latter, if true, is one of
the most important discoveries of the age.-EI-
