great sagacity he foresaw the terrible con

solely by love for the public good, with an
unwavering confidence in the inherent truth

honesty of the people, he stood forth and
told them that now was the time to settle
this question, and forever put at rest this

were to cast aside the bonds of union our

PREcAUTIoN OF LOUIS NAPOLEON AGAINST

follows relative to the immense military
camp recently formed at Chalons. by the
Emperor Louis Napoleon:
In my opinion. Lewis Napoleon is now
engaged in building scheme by which he
hopes to secure his throne against acct
dents, even so great casualty as his as
sassination. The plan he has adopted is,
like everything he does. marked by great
reach OF foresight and good deal of as
tuteness. l dare say you have seen by the
papers. that's great camp has been formed
at Chalons. 1t occupies space which
covers about $4,000 acres. There will be
some sixty or one hundred thousand men
of the best regiments in the army. The
camp will be an entrenched camp-that is,
it will be a forts stronghold of $4,000
acres. Marshal Canrobert, that devoted
personal adherent of the Emperor, will
command t. The project of the depart
ment is 70 be picked man, of approved f.

PACK YoUR THoUGHTs.-Do not
assume that, because you have something
important to communicate, 1T is necessary
to write long article. A tremendous
thought may be packed into small COM
pass-made and sold as a cannon-ball, and
like that projectile, cut down all before
it. Short articles are generally more
effective, find more readers, and are more
widely copied than long ones. Pack
yo,cr thoughts close together, aud though
your article may be brief,it will have
weight, and be more likely to make an
impression. Ie who write for this busy
age, says late writer, "speak quick; use
short sentences; never stop the reader
with long or ambiguous word; but let
the stream of though flow right on and

A Commentary.

The Ch;caoo Tribune furnishes report
Of a case tried in the Recorders Court q
that city, last week, in which the eounse,
for 4 African chattels, who were charged
with theft, demanded their releaseon the
oround that the decision of the Supreme
Court in the bred Scott case placed the
chsttels aforesaid without the pale OF the
law. The plea was overruled; but with
what Justice the reader can judge, II the
decision of the Court is to stand as law:

And now cometh into court the above
named chattles, enormously indicted as
persons in their own proper bodies, ana
having heard the said Indictment read,
saw thatthe above named Recorder Court
ought not to take cognizance of the alleged
crime in the said indictment above spec
flied, because protcstingG as such bodies
they have right to protest. that they
are not guilty OF the same, not oeihS III
any manner recognized or known by or to
the Constitution of the United States OF
America, or of the Constitution or laws OF
the State of Illinois as persons, protected
by or responsible to the laws of the land;
nevertheless for plea in this behalf, the
said bodies, so as aforesaid enormously in-
dicted and compelled to answer, say that
no cause of complaint ever accrued to the
people of this State against them, for this,
to-wit: that the said bodies, so, as atore-
said indicted, are not persons capable OF
committing crime and ofbeing tried there
fore in this Court, but arc articles of mer-
chandise and mere property by the su-
preme law of the land; because they say
that they arc negroes Of African descent,
their ancestors were ofpure African blood,
and were brought into this country, and
sold as negro slaves
Therefore they pray judgement of the
Court now here, willor ought totake cog
nizance of the Indictment aforesaid, and
that by the Court here, they may be dis
missed and discharged.

A Robbcr Caught In His Own Trap.

The following singular case Of robbery
is reported in the Bordeanx Indicator:
A woman employed as honsskeeper; at
the chateau of London, near the city re-
Gently inherited sum of 500 francs. A
peasant employed to take care of the
grounds Of the chateau, hearing of her
good fortune, determined to possess
himself of the money. Accordingly, a few
months, ago, the owner of the chateau
and all the servants being absent, he got
the woman on some pretext to visit him
at room which he occupied in one of
the dependencies of the chateau. After a
while he locked the door, and with the
most dreadful threats declared that he
would murder her unless she at once
gave him the 800 francs. The woman,
being seriously alarmed, took him to her
chamber and gave him the money. The
man then declared that he must murder
her to prevent her from accusing him;
and he commanded her to say what
kind of death she would prefer. The poor
woman prayed for mercy, but he peremp-
torily told her that she must either die by
the rope or by the knife, she at last
selected hanging. The man then tied her
hands behind her back, and fastened her
to the bedstead. He AFTERWARDS mounted
on chair to fix rope to a beam, and
made running moose at the end. Hav-
ing duly fastened the rope, he put his
arm into the moose to see if the latter
would slip well; at that moment, the wo-
man, with great presence of mind, gave a
violent kick to the chair, which fell, and
the man remained suspended by the arm
He reared, for help, and the woman cried
out murder bat there was no one but
themselves in the chateau or it's depen-
dences, and they were not heard. They
accordingly remained in their respective
positions, the man suffering dreadful
agony until morning, when his cries at
tracted the attention of the laborers. The
men, on hearing the woman's story, rele-
ased her, but left the man suspended un-
til they could summon magistrate.
The functionary had the man cut down,
and after receiving the woman's deposi-
ton, caused him to be sent to prison to
await his trial for the robbery.

INTERFERENCE IN ENGLAND.--Mrs
Stowe says, i'll late letter from Great
Britain
at is my belief from observation and
travel in England and Scotland, that al
most all the poverty and misery of the
lower classes now arise from the traffic in
Intoxicating drinks. In no country has
benevolence been more energetic and the
progress Of social reform more rapid
The benevolent works Of England strike
stranger as really stupendous, yet this
one cause seems to nuilify all and keep
up misery, vice, and distress 1t seems
to me that there is now scarce any cause
OF poverty and distress which the sup
preston of the liquor traffic would not re-
move. Since emigration to the colonies
has equalized the population, it would
seem as if there might be money enough
and work enough to support the whole
laboring population, were it not for the
enormous taxation and drain of ardent
spirits

STONE CUTTING BY STEAM.-During
recent sejourn in Washington we Wis
tied the Capitol grounds, and witnessed
with much interest, the various opera
tons connected with the work of enlarg-
ing the Capitol building. Both wings
are rooted over well advanced towards
completion. The great central dome is
beginning to rise.
The marble columns, of which large
number are required for the porticos,
are being Surned in huge lathes by steam
power. Under shed we saw one of the
machines in operation. A block of mar
bic - feet long, and over feet in diam
eter, was slowly revolving between the
centres; the cutting was done by a pair
OF chlsels carried on a slide rest in the
usual manner. A stream of snow white
cnl,,@@ issuing from between the cutters,
marked their progress
The lathe is from the manufacture o.

feet in length, by feet or more in di-

have not been employed in this country
to any extent In Europe-Prussia par
