LOUIS NAPOLEON IN CONSTANT FEAR OF
HIS LIFE.-The Paris correspondent of the
London Times alludes to the constant fear of
his life in which the Emperor of the French
lives, of the Carbonari. During his late trip
to his new dominions, every care was taken
to get suspicious characters out of the way,
One very curious means of insuring his
safety was resorted to; it was that of forcing
the owners of houses within certain dis.
tance of their imperial residence to give UP
the keys of their cellar to the police. These
individuals were forced, during the whole
visit, and for some days before, to ask for
their keys every time they needed bottle
of wine; and on such occasions a policeman
was sent with them to fetch it. A certain
house in the Place Victoire, in Nice, was
emptied Of all its inhabitants while the i'm
perial visit lasted, nobody knew for precisely
what reason; but the proprietors, for vacat-
ing it, received from the authorities the
sum OF 10000 francs; the house, it is sup
the police.

SoME years ago Mr.. Ewing acquired the
name of Solitude Ewing, by speech in the
Senate, in which he predicted that if some
anti-tariff, or anti-bank or anti-some-kind-
of-exploded-humbug bill should pass the
canals would become a solitude, and the
lakes and rivers desert waste of waters,
through the total collapse of all kinds of
business.
The solitude business is now being done
over again on the election of Lincoln. The
Enquirer of yesterday has an affecting pic
ture Of the bankruptcy and general desola-
tion that is to follow Lincslns election; and
few days ago it published the following
startling extract from Southern letter;
''Ship my -four and wheat by the most ex-
peditious route to -, as, judging from
the election in Pennsylvania, you are deter
mined to wage an Abolition warfare against
us, and cause us to take the bitterest pill Of
allan Abolition Chief Magistrate l may
want you to operate for me at st. Louis; can
you do itY
Here is a man who arprehends the election
of an Abolition Chief Magistrate, therefore
be wants his -four and wheat shipped by the
most expeditions route to -. When
men resort to the most expeditions routes
for their produce, on the mere anticipation
of Republican President, what movement
will be rapid enough for them when the
reality arizes2 With sound Southern
President, doubtless, this dealer would have
been satisfied to have his produce go by the
slowest route; but if an Abolition warfare is
to be waged against the South, he must have
express speed.
But we can hardly understand why he
should say that if.an Abolition President is
elected, IT may want you to operate for me
at st. Louis" Is ST. Louis slow in its move
ments that an operation is required thereP
Or is the election of Lincoln expected to have
such an astringent effect on st. Louis that
some "rhubarb, senna or purgative drug"
will be needed to operate there2 He speaks
of the election of Lincoln as causing us to
take the bitterest pill of ALL" but if the pill
is so powerful in its effects on the South, why
should he call upon any body else to operate
in st. Louis? We can not see into it; for if
the election of an Abolition President is
going to ruin the South, it is strange that
this patriotic produce operator should want
some body to operate for him there. We
hope the Enquirer will straighten out this mix
ture efproduce, politics, pills, operations and
fast routes.

Sketch of the Wealthiest Woman in En-.
sland-Miss Burdett Coutts,


Andersen, the novelist was much i'm
pressed with Miss Coutts while in London,
and presents us with a warm eulogy of
her character and sketch of her establish
ment:
The richest lady in England is Miss
Burdett Coutts, to whom Dickens dedicated
his Martin Chuzzlewit. Her fortune is said
to be fabulously large, but the most glorious
thing connected with it is, that she is at the
same time one of the noblest and most
benevolent ladies in the world; not only has
she built several churches, but she provides,
like reasonable and Christian woman, for
the poor, the ailing, and the oppressed; her
house in London is visited by the richest and
most respected persons. On my first stay at
Gadshill met there an elderly lady dressed
in black, and another younger they re-
maired week there, and were most amiable,
straightforward and kind; we walked
together up to the monument; | drove with
them to Rochester, and when they quilted
us the younger lady said that must STAY at
her house when visited London.
From Dickens learned that she was Miss
Coutts; he spoke with the utmost veneration
of her, and of the glorious Christian use to
which she applied her enormous fortune;
should have an opportunity of seeing an En-
glish mansion appointed with all possible
wealth. | visited her. and it was not the
rich pictures, the bedizened language, the
palatial resources, which impaired 10 the
house grandeur and a peculiar brilliancy, but
the noble, feminine, amiable Miss Coutts
herself she offered such simple and touch
ing contrast to her richly attired servants.

cepted as evidences Of penitence. But the
undeftakers probably found that, to appear
ance, the good impressions were but tram
STORY, and, despairing to make them per-
manent, abandoned the field. II is possible
that the reformers need TO be reformed; to
be baptized anew with the spirit of chari-
table perseverance; to imbibe a little more
of the patience of him whose example they
profess to initiate. 1t may be that they
over-estimated the moral distance between
themselves and those whom they sought to
improve, thereby weakening their own in
fuence, and requiring too great and too
rapid Improvements in the other party.
A fault in the movement in London may
be pointed out, as it is one common to such
undertakings. Reformers have too much
courage at the start, and teo little afterward.
They are prone to undertake more than they
can perform, and to give out before they
have accomplished all that lays in their
power. At the beginning, they want to
take the ''bull by the horns"-to seize upon
and convert the worst leaving the less hard
ened for future operations. When it is hea-
then that are to be operated upon, they go to
the ends Of the earth to find the most hea-
thenish; and when it is prostitutes, they go
to those places where they are the lowest in
grade, and the most content with their con-
dition. The result is uniform; the worst are
not improved and the best are overlooked.
Now, there are in every urban community,
those upon whom charity, sympathy and
good advice would not be thrown away
women whose practices are the result of
hard and grinding necessity. But they need
to be sought out. They will not come when
the bell rings for prostitutes; and pity it is
that Christian people do not remember them
more than they do.
