HUMrIATIyG.-The correspondent of
the Charleston Mercury states that Gen.
Scott had squads of his soldiers placed
on the house tops, along Pennsylvania
Avenue, will ball cartridges, in their
guns. This idea he plagarizcd from the
Mexicans. When the procession reach
cd the Capitol, the Northern President
was slipped out Of his carriage into a
long box made of stout boards, through
which he walked securely into the cap
itol, and a fence was built around the
space in front Of the platform, from
which was delivered that immortal In.
augural Address I! We are sure that
never, since the first hour the revolution
struck, from the day we revolted from
British dominion to the present time,
has the American character been SO
blackened and d~isgraced, as it has been
by the miserable cOwardice Of Lincoln
and the worse sycophancy of his mill
tary toadies. What breadth Of view OF
what hberality of craftsmanship can be
looked for from the Northern President

nEl Count d'Orsenne one day accom-.
panied the Emperor on a hunting cxcur-
sion. The Emperor had been complain
ing of thirst, and some one seeing a
woman at a little distance, called to her.
The woman did not know Napoleon or
any of the escort. She gave the En-
peror a glass of water mixed with a
little brandy, and then curteSid for pay
ment. ''There, my good woman" said
Napoleon, pointing to Count d'Orsenne,
"there is the Emperor; ask him for
money (; he pays for us ALL" The wo.
man blushed and looked embarrassed 4;
then turning to the count, she scan ed
his splendid uniform with the eye of a
connoisseur, and said, "IIe? pooh, non.

The Emperor was much amused at the
remark, and gave the oma a double

one day she related the following story:
Two young men, who were very fond Of
skating, went out on the river one NOON
light night. One Of them placed sticks
where he thought there were air-holss; but
the other, in skating backward. passed the
boundary, the ice broke, and he went under.
His body was found long time after by
some boys who were playing on the river
side" -. .. [7-
Here the excitement in the school. room
became intense, and one boy, about eight
years of;age, who, with mouth wide open,
hair on END, and eyes dilated to their utmost
