The WIFE OF PRINCE NAPoLEoN.-The
Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American thus gives his impression of the
Princess Clotilde, as she appeared when leav-
ing the grand ball given in honor of the arri-
val of herself and husband in Paris:
las she descended the spiral staircase lead
ing to the hall, the Princess afforded ample
opportunity to inspect and criticise her bearing
and tenue in presence of so vast an assem-
blage have rarely, if ever, seen anything
SO remarkable in so young person. Not
nerve shivered, not an eyelid quivered, not a
finger trembled, not pulse beat higher, as she
looked around her with unmistakable dignity
and calmness. 1t was really wonderful to see
girl, scarce sixteen years, to comport her
self in such position. There was no mere
insensibilty, but simply irmness and sefpos-
session, not unmingled, probably with pride
and consciousness of high descent. The con-
descension in being there, she evidently felt
to be all her own.
AS she slowly descended the steps, taking
no ones arm or hand, she turned and spoke to
her husband with an air as though he had
been at most her gentleman in waiting Prince
Napoleon had put aside, involuntarily, all his
usual rolicking and somewhat vulgar swagger,
and seemed to sink into deferential respect.
He looked absolutely henpecked already, in
presence of the naughty damsel who has CON
sented to call him lord for the advancement of
the political interests of the country. | am
mistaken If this little lady has not a character
OF her own, and will play part in the affairs
OF the world. The Empress Eugene, with
her tidgetty ways and pretty face, will be no
match for this Italian stranger The Princess
Clotilde is far from handsome when looked at
near and attentiyely. She has, with fair
complexion. creole cast of features, which,
seen in profile, is far from inviting"
The ball was given at the Hotel de Vile,
and it is said that no less than four thousand
men were employed for fortnight in decor
ating the structure and arranging the prelimi-
narles OF the tete, which was of the most SPLEEN
did and dazzling character.

There is a movement now in nrocress
through several of the northern mining coun
ties, to expell the Chinese from the diggings.
The American miners are resolved to free
themselves from the presence of the intruders,
as they are deemed. In the cities the Chinese
are pests, and are disliked as immoral and
filthy.
1t having been reported in Yuba City, SUIT
ter county, that an elderly man there, who had
protested to have honorable intentions" to-
ward widow of that place, had rot treated
her very honorably, party of young men re-
paired to his house on the night of the 9Th, at
ten O'Clock, and told him he must go and get
married or be ducked in pond He preferred
the marriage ceremony, so justice was found,
and the knot was tied-the widow being very
willing, and the groom not daring to say no"
The Sacramento Union, speaking of the
Chinese New Years Day, says: "There were
several calls made by the Chinese on some of
our American residents. Whether the custom
is original with them, or is copied from our
countrymen, we are not advised. Among
those who made these calls was one All Mon,
who has been travelling the city and vicinity,
peddling tea and purchasing chickens. AL
though his usual garb is one of the most ordi-
nary description, yet on this occasion he was
dressed in costly silk and fur, and the fashion
of his apparel was like that of the most fastid-
ious Chinese gentleman. Adorned with red
silk top-knot, long tail, and thick-soled shoes,
he made ceremonious call upon his patrons,
and rendered and received the compliments of
the day in the most courtly style"

the road leading to Mendon, soon after the af-

leaving his frightened victim with her bonnet
off and her dress muddy.
Presentation. White, the successful and
esteemed teacher of the Milford High School,
was presented by his pupils with valuable
gold watch and chain, on Friday last. The
occasion was pleasant to the many visitors,

in behalf of the scholars. The teacher re-
sponded from an overlooking heart, giving ev-
idence of deep love for his work.
The Davenport boys have exhibited in the
brick church. A promiscuous audience seem
poorly trained to behave with decorum in to-
tai darkness, this being the memorable condi-
ton in which they demonstrate spirit power.
All may be SO. But some are quite skeptical
as to the honesty of these boys.
Mr.. Garrison Of Boston gave the people OF
Milford two discourses at the brick church on
Sunday, and lecture on "Garrisonian Inf

was literally packed and many were unable to
get in. However, one may differ from Mr.. G.
