An Iri.s view of Louis Napoleon. Pac,ae

An lftsh view ot laouta Nbpotfuha ENCNut
Letter.
The Emperor Of the French has written
letter intended TO reassurc the English
people and calm the panic whichis inducing
them to bury eleven millions Euder q mound
Of stone walls, with srperposed adornment
of cannon! Il IS not 10 be supposed, how
even, that this manifesto VIII afford much
satisfaction to . people which has lashed
,set INTO rage and % ss Tnly resGvso' q In IN
assailed, and must protect itself The En-
peror's oily words Of peace will only add to
the fame already existing. Booth 70 say,
his words ore not always the most reliable,
and II is not very easy to place trust in the
words of the monarch who seems to use
Language after the Interpretation Of the
cyntcZto conceal his ideas. Nevertheless,
we do believe the panic to be as utterly un-
reasonable Ms may be. We are assured that
Napoleon contemplates no invasion OF En-
gland, nof..tbrough the splendid professions
I of that potcntatc but simply on the ground
that it would not be for his advantage.
A daring soldier he is, when necessary an
ambitious monarch, and possibly enough,
does, in n remote corner of his breast cherish
the Napoleonic dreams. Bat he is, at the
same time. cool-headed and sagacious, and
quite competent to see that, however deeply
he could wound England, as deeply, and per-
haps more SO, he could inilict injury upon
himself and his own country. His policy
would seem rather to be 10 keep England in
state of consistent humilmtion praising
through her statesmen, the monarch whom
her people defame, aud protesting cordial
alliance, and actually acting in concert, with
the power, to arm against which they are
crushing the country.
Never, probably, In history has nation,
! great in arts and arms been placed in
more utterly degraded position than En-
| gland has been by the dexterons mauage-
!. ment of the Emperor, whom Queen Victoria
! so warmly embraced over the tomb Of
! hereditary enemy. Louis Napoleon then
| half avenged Waterloo; he is now filing up
( the measure of his revenge by dragging
! England con.emptuously at the car of his
! policy, and holding her up to the scorn OF
Europe as the big. clustering nation, which
I fears and fawns upon him.
\ His concerted action with England in the
! affairs of Italy Is but pretense-made pal
pablo by the announcement that he will pre-
4 serve the independence Of the Pope. That
bare fact defeats English Vaccinations in
that country. True, that simple fact does
not ahsolve the Emperor from the blanc
that attaches to him for contributing to Sar-
dinia the power of despoiling the Church Of
its possessions; of robbing private individ-
uals; of prosecuting and imprisoning bishops
and priests for consciences sake. 1t does
|
friend to the Pontif, whom he had solemnly
sworn to protect. But II does run directly
counter to English policy and English IN
trigue: and TO accompany 1t with the decla-
ration that he means in doing so to act in
concert with England, is to add one more TO
the series of scarcely-vailed insults which he
heaps upon the head of his gallant ally.
| Women ns Disturbing Agents-Their Un-
rcnsonnbleuess and Power OF Annoy
| nurc.
A correspondent of the New York Times
thus writes from the country:
Why should women prove such disturb
ing agents? Simply because they have nc
reason. You ask a woman for her reasons,
and she always says because" You may
press her still further, but she can never get
beyond the "because." Because what? "Why,
because" The fact is, she has no reasoning
powers whatever, and you might as well at
tempt to reason with mosquito as woman.
She stings YOU and then flies away. She is
governed entirely by her instincts and the
only way to manage her is to let her have
her own way--in other words not to manage
her at all.
We do not mean by this to decry the
merits of women. On the contrary, let us
"give the devil his due" and so we aoknowl-
edge that women arc wise, pretty, soft little
I u
perceptions of ornaments; in short, that they
are luxuries, that every man who can afford
il might as well possess. But you mustn'
reason with them, any more thau you would
, with your pet cat, and here the analogy be-
comes very strong, for what after all is pussy
but soft, lazy, luxurious animal, thar does
nothing but take care OF her person, anG
, purr when you pet her, but of whom yol
must beware when she once gets her bacI

, Now, say, we have ten of these luxurious
| animals in house, with oil their severl
little whims and caprices that must be graft
l fed. Allow that each of these has what i
