Napoleon III in Danger.

The Emperor Napoleon may be consigned to
the tomb Of the CapuleIs by the dagger of an
assassin almost any day. 1t would not be at
all surprising to hear of his sudden taking of
by the next arrival from Europe. France is
Overrun with secret political societies, deadly
lnlmical TO the present government, and resoly-
ed upon its Overlhrown. In the face of po-
lice which adds to its terrors military rigor and
the secrecy of the inquisition, these societies
increase in numbers. The prisons of the de-
partments, and the African Siberia of France
are filled with them, and yet their places in the
societies are filled, and fresh additions made TO
the societies every day. Italy, Sardinia and
England contribute to their growth, and con.
tribute to their maintenance. The conviction
that the Emperor will fall sooner or later by the
hand OF an assassin, or by poison, is strength
ened by discoveries of new plots to assassinate
him. The Emperor seems fully aware of the
horrible danger impending over him, and re-
cent writer says that this terrible knowledge,
spite ofal his resolution, has shaken his nerves
to the roots, and prevents him from seeing
straight or moving straight. His liberty is
more restrained than his subjects. "Uneasy

MIR. MORRILL,, IN advocating the passage OF
his agricultural bill, before Congress. presented
some very interesting statistics, showing that
while we are IN advance OF the world in many
useful arts, we are far 10 the rear of the best
husbandry OF Europe, and that our tendency is
downward, not upward. Figures prove con.
cluslvely that in all parts of our country inpor.
tant elements in the soil have been exhausted,
and that its fertility, in spite of all improve
ments, is steadily sinking. The number of
sheep in the State of New York has decreased
so that there were nearly 100000 less than
there were thirty years ago. Within period
of five years the decrease has been nearly five
per cent, while the decrease in the number of
horses, cows and swine is about fifteen per cent.
In lSl5 the product Of wheat was I3.39I .77O
bushels. The average yield of corn per acre in
1874 was 24.75 per bushcl, but in 1854 II was
only 3l.02 bushels.
The average crop of wheat in virginia. Ten.
nessee and North Carolina for 1850 wos only
seven bushels per acre; in Ala bama and Georgia
but five bushels per acre. And even the lar.
gest average crop Ofany State in the Union,
that OF Massachusetts, was but Is bushels per
acre. And this, with the leanest soil, proves
her agricultural science TO be far in advance of
her sister States. While the crop of cotton in
the new lands of Texas and Arkansas was 700
to $50 lbs, per acre, it was but 800 lbs. per
acre in the older cultivated fields of South
Carolina.
In Virginia, the crops of tobacco in 1850 was
less than that of ls40 by over eighteen million
pounds. No crop has proven more destructive
to the fertility of the soil than the tobncco crop.

| RATHER Slow FOR A TELEGRAPH.--In the
experiment made through the entire circuit OF
the Atlantic Telegraph previous to its embar-
kation, it was found that communication .was
considerably impeded. With the lphabet now
used only about two and half words per min
ute can be transmitted through the whole
length OF wire. This is $50 words an hour, or
about eighteen lines of the ordinary type ofthe
Times. Nearly whole day, therefore, would
be occupied in sending US column of matter
for the public. But when it is considered that
the mercantile business of two continents is to
be accommodated by the telegraph, and the
English government and ours are to use it lso,
1t will be seen that its practical value TO the
public as vehicle OF intelligence cannot equal
previous expectations. single overland WIRE
transmits at the rate Of more than thousand
words an hour And yet it is found necessary
TO have two lines between Boston and New
York. while between New York and Phila-
delphla there are seven. But If the Atlantic
Telegraph is shown to be feasible, we have no
doubt that mere than one WIRE viii soon be laid
down, to say nothing of improved a phabels aud

Workings Of the New License Law in

IN the workings OF the new law, that they have
got more than they have bargained for L. is
now evident that the new law will not ONLY
open the floodgates of licensed IntemperaEcc
wider than ever before, but it will tend directly
TO bring the business OF tavern keeping into
general dIsrepuie, by admitting the vllcst char
acters and the most dIsrepLta5le houses TO an
equality, so far as legal sanction IS concerned
with the first class hotels. And this result is
attained in spite of the better Judgment of the
court, from which all discretion in the matter
has been most unwlSely removed. 1t needs no
argument TO sustain our position. Tie fact that
two houses of reputed ill-fame have been IL
censed, one In the CITY and another in the cOun-

new law. The fact ls any lIbertinc or prosti-

MIR. Newcomb heard no more. But wasn't

brilliant nor handsome woman but true as steel

that envolved all the elements of her life But
the dellcacy OF her perceptions too soon revealed
