EE Napoleon's Court at Compiepne

@ Napoleon's Court at Compiegne
amuses itself with parlor theatricals, in
which the Empress is very charming, only
she has chronic difficulty with the letter
r. The behavior of the Empress at the
Council of Ministers is worth observing.
The most obstruse and driest questions
are listened to by her Majesty with the
greatest apparent attention. She always
comes armed with pencil and with paper,
and takes down notes with the prettiest
pe2antry in the world. 1t is true that
the fair and snowy hands, if rebellious
against the thankless Office, are continual
ly occupied in sliding to and fro the rings
uponher fingers, and in turning and twisting
the bracelets on her wrists, whose pretty
little Chinese jingle formed SO funny an
accompaniment to the reading of the re-
port upon the Peiho expedition the other
day, that the grave seignors all laughed
aloud, and the Emperor joined good hu
moredly in the merrimept, and Selling her
majesty's hand, kissed it rapturously, max
ing the funny little bells with which the
bracelet was hung all around ring out a
more joyous peal than ever. So you see
all is not prose and dry discourse at our
Cabinet Councils; the presence Of woman
enlivens even these pedantic meetings.

OF1g.n of slavery.

Mr.. Bancroft, in his first volume Of his his
tory of the United States, gives an account
of the early traffic of Europeans in Slaves.
In the middle ages the Venitians pUrchas-
ed white men Christians, and sold them to
the Saraceans in Sicily and Spain. In
England, the Anglo Saxon nobility sold
their servants as slaves to foreigners. The
Portuguese first imported negro slaves from
Western Africa into Eprone, in I442
Spain soon engaged in traffic, and negro
slaves, abounded in some of the places of
that kingdom. After America was dis
covered, the Indians Of Hispaniola were
imported into Spain, and made slaves.
The Spaniards visited the coast of North
America, and kidnapped thousands of In
dians, whom they transported into slavery
in Europe and the West Indias. Column
bus himself kidnapped five hundred native
Americans, and sent them into Spain that
they might be publicly sold at Seville.
The practice of selling North American
Indians into foreign bondage continued
for two centuries. Negro slavery was
first introduced into America by Spanish
shareholders, who emigrated with their ne
groes. A royal edict of Spain authorize
negro Slavery in America in 1918. ki4g
Ferdinand himself sent from Seville fifty
slaves to labor in the mines. In 1881,
the direct traffic in slaves between Africa
and Hispaniola was allowed by permit of
a royal ordinance. Las Casas. who saw
the Indians vanishing away before the
eruelties of the Spaniards, suggested that
the negroes who alone could endure severe
tolls, might be further employed. This
was in the year 1918.
Sir John Hawkins was the first English
man that engaged in the slave trade. In
1852 he transported large cargo of AT
ricans to Hispaniola. In 1857, another
expedition was prepared, and Queen Eliza
beth protected and shared in the traffic.
Hawkins, in one of his expeditions, set fire
to an African city, and out of three thou
sand inhabitants succeeded in seizing two
hundred and sixty. J. Smith, of Boston
and Thomas Keezer, first brought the col
onies to participate in slavery. In 1854
they imported a cargo of negroes
Throughout Massachusetts, great dissatis-
faction was raised against them as maleiac-
tors and murderers, the guilty men were
committed for the offense, and the repre-
sentatives of the people ordered the negroes
to be restored to their native country at the
public expense. At a later period, there
were both Indian and negro slaves IN Mas
sachusetts In 1920 a Dutch ship entered
James river, and landed twenty negroes
for sale. This was the epoch of the intro
duction of slavery into Virginia. Fo,
very many years, the Dutch were primo,
pally concerned in the slave trade i'll LLe
market of Virginia.

"Swear not at ALL" My ear is pained,
To hear Jehovah's name profaned.

Whose words were ever gem unpriced,
This law the child of God proclaims-
"Above all things, swear not said James.

Our words, our very thoughts are known.
Swear not by thine own hand or head

Not yet thy life, nor soul, nor health,
Nor yet the glittering phantom-wealth.
Nor swear by earth; as we explore,
Gods footprints tell On every shore.

French INVASION OF IRELAND.-Some
of the Irish journals are discussing the
probability of a French invasion of Ire
land. They think that, in the event OF
Louis Napoleon declaring war against
England, one of his first Steps would be
to land powerful force in Ireland, and
take possession of the principal ports of the
island. There are few places in Ireland
fit to resist strong invading force; and a
French expedition would find many sym
pathizers there. Even the English jour
nails, in specializing upon rupture with
France, express apprehensions that the
French Emperor would, simultaneously
with an attack upon England, make di-
version in Ireland, and avail himself of
the support of the disafected portion OF
the population. In view of this danger,
the British government has directed its
attention to the fortifcation of the Irish
coast; and orders have been issued fol
the construction of batteries at the points
most likely to be first assailed.

following conversation ensued
Squire, called to see if yov would
like to take this boy, and make lawyer
of him."
''The boy appears rather young, Madam
How old is he q
"Seven years, sir"
'He is too young, decidedly too young.
Have you older boys!'
"Oh, yes sir, have several; but We have
concluded to make farmers of the Others
[ told my husband l thought this little
fellow would make first rate lawyer, and
SO l called to see if you would take him -
mo, madam; he is too young to COM
mence the study of profession. But why
do you think this one so much better cal
culated for lawyer than your other sons!
What are his peculiar qualifications"
"Why, do you see, sir, he is just seven
years old to day. When he was only five
lie would lie like the devil; when he got to
be six, he was as sassy and impudent as
any critter could be; and now he will steal
everything he can lay his hands on. Now,
if he amt fit for lawyer, [ would like to
know what he will have to learn %

If everybody would just mind his own

nInnnfnctnre of Teeth.

Il is stated that at least three millions Of
teeth are annually made in this country alone.
The first operation, according to the method
of manufacture pursued at one of the most
extensive and celebrated establishments, is
the choosing of the materials. These are
teldspar, silica and clay. To these are added
various metellic oxides to produce any shade
of color desired. The feldspar, clay, &C., are
ground TO an impalpable powder under water,
dried and made into paste. That compos-
ing the body of the tooth is of different ma
terials from that composing the base or en-
amel. The teeth are made in brass molds,
and this is quite delicate process. The
enamel is FIRST put in place with small steel
spatnla; the platinum rivets, by which the
teeth are fastened to the plates are placed III
position, and then the body is pressed into
the mold. They are then submitted to Il
powerful pressure and dried. After being
dried thew are submitted to process called
biscuiting, in which they can be cut like
chalk. ..I'.. H.u-
They are then sent to the trimmers, who
scrape off all projections, and fill up all de-
pressons which may have been left In the
operation of molding, and then wash them
with what is technically termed enamel. This
is composed of various substances, more fusi-
BILE than the tooth itself, and answers the
glaze in common porcelain making. II Il
ground to fine powder, and suspended II
water, and is laid ON with camel s-bair brush
They are now sent to the gummers, who ap'
ply the gum. This is chiefly composed o
oxide of gold, and is applied in the same
manner as the enamel. After being dried
they are burned. The teeth are placed on {
bed of crushed quartz, which is placed on {
slab of refractory clay. After being exposed
to an intense heat for some hours, they are
taken out, cooled and assorted.

PROPER CULTURE OF THE DAIsY.-The
double varieties of the common daisy
BELLS perennis; gown, Of the Scotch--is much
used as an edging in Europe, especially in the
small gardens attached to the cottages of such
of the poorer class as are fond of flowers and
we know few flowers that make u prettier
show, aud are easier kept in order. We have
seen many neat little fower-plot, with the
walks edged with red and white dasies,
planted alternately at greater or less distances.
Being indigenous to Europe, they are per-
fectly hardy, neither freezing out in winter,
nor burning in summer; but in this country,
the case is somewhat different and they are
very apt to fail in want of endurance of our
hot suns. For many years, we have tried to
cultivate them as an edging, and can now say,
with the greatest success. They naturally
grow in clay loan, but will thrive in nearly
every soil. Ours is dry, gravelly one, that
needs great deal of manure. The whole
secret of cultivation is to keep them, if pos
sible, covered in the winter with snow.
Straw or leavesare not beneficial, as the leaves
grow during the cold months, and are sure to
draw up and blanch, and the plant loses in
vigor. In summer, water them regularly.
Never let the ground get perfectly dry /;
neither should it be allowed to sour by an
oversupply of moisture. We have to divide
our plants every spring or fall, otherwise
they become too thick. At present we see a
walk of thirty feet in length, edged with
eight varieties of these flowers.
