Precaution of Louis Napoleon Against
InsurrectiOn.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Daily Iraveler, writes as follows relative to
the immense military camp recently formed
at Chalons, by the Emperor Louis Napoleon:
In my opinion, Louis Napoleon is now en-
gagged in building a scheme by which he
hopes to secure his throne against accidents,
even so great a casualty as his assassination.
The plan he has adopted is, like everything
he has done, marked by great reach Of
foresight and good deal of astuteness.
dare say you have seen by the papers, that
great camp has been formed at Chalons
1t occupies space which covers about 80
900. There will be some sixty or one hun
dred thousand men of the best regiments in
the army. The camp will be an entrenched
camp-that is, it will be a fort-a stronghold
of 10000 acres. Marshal Canrobert, that
devoted personal adherent of the Emperor,
will command it. The Prefect of the de-
partment is to be picked man, of approved
fidelity. The troops are to be constantly
employed in strengthening the camp and all
its approaches so as to render it, as far as
possible, impregnable. 1t is we'll provided
with water. The camp kitchens cover near
y four miles in length. The imperial quar-
ters form village alone, so numerous are
the kitchens, stall les, coachhouses and other
offices. About eighty or a hundred wagons
have been daily employed in carrying objects
from the Garde Meuble de la Couronne to
furnish the Emperor's quarters. "Ncver has
Garde Meuble seen so many objects taken at
any one time out of its stores" 1t appears
to me that Louis Napoleon designs this
camp as a place of safety for the Empress
and Imperial Prince, if insurrection should
occur which menaces to assume the form of
revolution. 1t will serve as a military reser-
voir with which he may deluge Paris with
soldiers, or as military stronghold where
he may wait till he conquers an adverse tide
of fortune. 1t is incredible what prepara
tons are taken against an insurrection.-
Only this week the whole exterior of the
Hotel de Vile has been tunnelled, so that
now horsemen mounted may pass under
ground from any part of the Hotel de Vile
to the new barracks Napoleon. The broad
Boulevard leading from Nincennes (Which is
the great arscnaD to the Hotel de Vile and
the Tuileries is rapidly being completed
The army is coured every way-and merl-
torious officers are sought out and we'll re-
warded. do not, however, believe that all
these resources and expedents will be found
of avail if the only serious danger which
threatens the throne, the death of Louis
Napoleon, should ensue; then the imperial
fabric would fall as it rose--in a single night.
What mighty destinies hang upon the lie of
tEis man.

The Great Eastern.

The Canadian London) News, of the
I'd inst, says it is authorized to state
that the Great Eastern steamship "wil be
launched in the first spring tides of next
month (October). The day is not as yet
absolutely fixed, but this important event
will probably take place on Monday. the
5th of that month. The tides will be high
est on that day."
The same Journal describes with min
uteness route of pleasure taken through
the United States to Chicago and st. Louis,
and which is extended on the European
Continent to Germany and Switzerland,
for which "Great Eastern tourist tickets"
are to be provided.
"This tour can be accomplished, say from
New York and back, in about eight weeks,
including the two passages across the At
Iantic; but for those less pressed for time,
it can be advantageousy extended to
from eleven to thirteen weeks. The cost
of first-cass tourist ticket for the whole
excursion, of little under 5000 miles,
will be about f5s sterling, or say $3.50.
arrangements are also in progress for
a more extended tour, which in addition
to the foregoing and at an increased
cost of about 500, will probably com
prise Ma pies, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Tur-
in and Milan, together with the passage
across the Alps by Simplon."

I am Weary---Let Me Rest.

/ am weary-let me rest,
Lisped an infant to its mother;
Sleep. my darling, on my breast,
Thou wilt never know another
Who will soothe thy throbbing brow,
Who will seek its ills to smother,
Loving thee as do now.
am weary-let me rest,
Sighed the honest son of labor;
Toll has been my constant guest,
Want has been my hardest neighbor,
Pleasure shuns my brawny arms,
For there is no pipe or tabor,
Wooing with their sweet alarms.
l am weary-let me rest,
Cried the votary of ambition;
Wherefore am thus unblest?
Wherefore comes the haunting vision
Thrilling hearts with thoughts of fame?
Life has been hopeless mission,
Futile as a feeble flame.
l am weary-let me rest,
Wept a fair and hapless maiden;
With lifes burden Pm opprest.
With foul wrongs am overladen;
would seek that unknown shore
In the dim and distant alden,
There to rest for evermore.

Lands from which shallow Lakes have
Receded.

There is no principle better settled than
that conterminious proprietors Of lands
bordering on permanent bodies of water
hold their accretion as riparian proprietors;
interspersed, however, over the public do
main are multitudes of shallow lakes, many
of which in the early public surveys were
supposed to be permanent bodies of water,
and were meandered accordingly; yet, in
the changes Of climate, and other natural
causes, many Of these lakes are disappear
ing, in whole or in part, and have become
dry and arabic lands.
The General land office has decided
that no lands Of this class fall under the
swamp grant, and that no right attaches
thereto under the riparian law; but that
in all cases of this kind the public sur
veys must be extended over the former
beds of such lakes, and that the lands
must be disposed Of as other public do
main.
In all cases, however, where settlers, or
other interested parties, are DESTROYS Of SO
curing titles to any such lands, applica-
ton should be made to the Surveyor Gen
eral for the survey to be executed, and prop
er returns thereof to be made to the
District and General Land Offices. The
lands thus become liable to pre- emption,
and after public proclamation and ordn-
ary entry, are subject to private sale.

Exclusive of about 81 ,GOO, 900 in specie.
If the cargo was included, these figures
would be more than double. The President
was lost in the year 1871; no one knows
how or where. The Columbia. in nautical
phrase "broke her back" on the rocks on
the American shore of the Atlantic. The
City of Philadelphia went to pieces on the
rocks near Cape Race The City of Glas-
gov sailed from Liverpoor March lst, 1854,
and was not afterward heard of. The Great
Britain came near being included in the list,
having lain ashore for some months at Dun
drum Bay, coast of Ireland, but is now en-
gagged as transport for India. The Frank
lin and Humboldt went ashore and broke in
pieces-the former on Long Island, and the
latter near Halifax. The Arctic and Pacific
were lost as already recorded. The IRON
steamer Tempest, measuring 800 tons, sail
ed from New York February 10Th, 1857,
with u crew of from thirty five to forty men,
and was never heard from. On the Pacific,
several fine steamers have been lost, general
ly of smaller class. The Independence, for
instance was totally lost with 1870 lives; anil
the Tennessee, ST. Louis and Yankee Blade,
Winfield Scott and others, became total
wrecks.
English steamers, in waters contiguous to
the United States, have Jared little better.
Within short time we have had to record
the loss of the fine iron steamship Canadian,
on the ST. Lawrence; also the steamship
Clyde, and several steamers in the West
India Islands.
A calculation rs to the number of lives
lost in these steamers, makes total of
about seventeen hundred This loss being
irreparable, no consolation can be derived
from the fact that large proportion of it
might have been prevented by a division of
these ships into compartments by water-tight
bulkheads; but there is opportunity to make
the adoption of such a means of safety COM
pulsory upon the owners of all sea-going
steamers, and thereby doing much to pre-
we too often have occasion to deplore.

How the Devil Lost.

The following is too good to be lost We clip
it from an exchange paper, and respectfully call
the attention to it of persons who feel disposed to
spread in the newspaper line:
yonng man who ardently desired wealth was
visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempted him
to promise his soul for eternity, if he could be
supplied on this earth with all the money he could
use. The bargain was concluded-the devil was
to supply the money, and was at last to have the
soul, unless the young man could spend more
money than the devil could furnish Years pass
ed away--the man married. was extravagant in
his living, built palaces, speculated widely-lost
and gave away fortunes, and yet his Golfers were
always full. He turned politician, and bribed his
way to power and fame, without reducing his
''pile" OF gold. He become "flibuster," and
fitted out ships and armies, but his banker honor
ed all his drafts. He went to st. Paul to live and
paid the usual rates of interest for all the money
he could borrow, but though the devil made wry
faces when he came to pay the bills yet they were

and "dead broke,' at the end of the year. So the
newspaper went down, but the soul was saved.
