gs5a An old white-haired Frenchman, who
had been in reduced circumstances in San
Francisco for several years, has been sent for
by the Emperor Napoleon TO return to bis na-
tive country. where he is to be provided for by
some sinecure official position, sufficient to
make him comfortable for the rest of his
life. The old man was once wealthy in France,
but reverses of fortune drove him to foreign
land where he hoped to re-establish himself
but the i'll luck pursued him in the land of
gold, where he las occupied an humble situa-
ton as caterer and cook in San Mateo county,
in the employ of the new water company. His
character is that of an honorable man, and his
department denotes that he has moved in
polite society in France. The Emperor, who,
has some special reasons for this act
of his favor. has directed the French Consul
at this port TO properly provide for him, and
defray all the expenses of the journey TO France.

WASHINGTON LAYING THE CORNER STONE OF
THE CAPIToL.-A correspondent of the Bangor
Wing tells the following very interesting an
ecdote of Washington
Recent events have recalled very forcibly 10
my mind the following incident, which may
perhaps prove interesting to many of your
readers at the present time:
Being on a visit to Washington during the
recess of Congress in the Spring of 1857, l
walked one day with friend to view the
works which were then already in progres for
for the extension of the Capitol. As we saun-
tered among the pillars in the basement of the
old building, we fell in with a venerable look
ing man, having the appearance of a country
man, who seemed TO be there upon the same
business that we were. We entered into con-
versation with him. and he informed us that
he was Nirginian, "raised" few miles down
the river, not far from Mount Vernon Very
likely, then" we remarked, ''you may recollect
General Washington Perfectly WE'LL he
replied. Indeed, saw him when he laid the
foundation Of this building. was but boy
then" he continued, but l remember verv
distinctly how he looked as he stood in this
way over the stone, and settled it in its place
with pry. 1t was huge stone and as placed,
it must have required no little strength to move
it. But the General was very athletic man,
and moved it apparently with ease. There
were number of boys there from our neigh
borhood, and it was sta ndng marvel to US
all how the General moved that stone. 4 few
days after the General happened to be riding
BY our school house on horseback, as we were
playing outside. We all pulled off our hats to
him, and he stopped his horse for a moment
and spoke to US very pleasantly. One Of the
boys cried out, Please, General, tell US how it
was you moved that great stone, up yonder
the other day Why, boys, said he, smiling
did move the stone p % yes, General you
moved it, we all saw you Well, boys, said
the General gravely, shaking his long finger
at us as he spoke, Do you see that nobody euer
disturbs that stone again p"

The Life-Clock.

There is little music clock.
No human eye hath seen:
That Laateih on, and boateth on.
From morn until cen
And when the soul is wrapped in Sleep,
And heareth not sound.
1t ticks, and ticks the livelong night,
And never runneth down.
wondrous is the work of art
Which knells the passing hour;
But art neer formed nor mind coneeivd
The life-clock's magic power.
Nor set the gold, not deeked with gems,
By pride and wealth possessed;
But rich or poor, or high or low,
Each bears it in his breast.
When lifes deep stream, mid beds of flower
All still and softly gldes,
Like the wavelet's step, with gentle beat,
1t warns of passing tides.
When passion nerves the warriors arm
For deeds of hate and wrong,
Though needed not the fearful sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and wild it rattles on,
As if with love twere broken.
Such is the clock that measures life,
OF flesh and spirit blended
And then twill run within the breast
Till this strange life is ended.

the time would come when any man who should
oppose the re opening of the African slave
trade would be denounced as an abolitionist.

A CANINE C1TY.-On the southern arm of
the Red River, there is village of prairie
dogs, which is no less than twenty five miles
in length by as many in breadth. 1t consists
of subterraneon galleries, sometimes nine feet
deep and about five inches wide. The super
structure is formed of earth thrown up by
these curious little animals. Towards the end
of October. when these little dogs feel the APP
proach Of Winter, they fasten up all the passa-
ges leading to their burrows with straw, then
they fall asleep until the return of Spring

Canoes, AND HOW THEY ARE CUr-Rome is
now the chief city of cameo cutting two kinds
of which are produced those cut in hard
stone, and those cut in she'll The stones most
valuable for the purpose are the oriental onyx
and the sardonyx. provided they have al least
two different eolors in parallel layers The
value Of the stone is greatly increased for this
purpose, if it has four or five different coorcd
parallel layers, if the layers are so thin as to
assist in making the device Of a cameo.--
For example a specimen Of stone which has
four parallel layers may be used for cameo of
Minerva, where the ground would he dark
gray, the face light, the bust and helmit black,
ana the crest over the helmit brown or gray.
All such canoes are wrought by lapdary's
lathe and pointed instruments of steel and by
means Of diamond dust Shell canoes are cut
from large shells found on the African and
Brazilian coasts aud generally show two
layers, one white, anu the Other either pale
coffee color or deep reddish orange. The sub
ject IS cut with small steel chisels ont Of the
white portion Of The she'll. Shells adapted for
cameo cutting are dense, thick and consist
usually of three layers Of differently coored'
shell material. In one variety Of these shells
each layer is composed of very many thin
plates, that is laminated, the lamina being per-
pendicular to the plane of the main layer, and
each amnG consisting Of a series Of elongated
prismaiic cells adherent to their longsdes.-
The amna of the inner and outer layers are
parallel to lines Of growth, while those Of the
middle layers are at right angles to them. In
another variety, known as the cowries there is
an additional layer, which IS a duplicate of the
nacrous layer, formed when the animal has at
tanned It's full growth.

A Wise PreCautiOn.

The Legislature, on Saturday last,
passed a Memorial and joint Resolution.
asking the Secretary of War to station
two companies of United States troops in
Southeastern Nebraska, to protect the
citizens of that portion of the Territory
from the marauding incursions of the
rebels in Missouri, and the resident SYM
pathizers with the rebellion.
This Is a wise precaution, and we hope
that so reasonable a request will be
promptly complied with by Secretary
Cameron. There is no Disgusting the
fact thatth people of Southeastern Ne
hraska are in an exposed position, and
that without some such protection as is
contemplated in this Memorial, there is
no adequate security to life or property
in that locality. Government should be
prompt in extending the protection asked
for, and we have no doubt will respond
favorably to the request of our Legisla-
ture.
Nebraska has contributed her full
share of soldiers in defense of the Union,
and not less than l 200 of her brave sons
are now in Missouri, in the front RANKS
of the grand Union army. This heavy
drain upon her resources, has materially
diminished her means of elf-defense.-
And now, when the safety of her people
Is placed IN jeopardy by the close proxim-
ity of robel hordes, we are confident that
her appeal for protection will not be in
vain.-Omaha Republican.
