AInnuE

NJ. Edmond About thus describes, in q
Paris journal, portrait of Prince Napoleon
in the Exhibition of Modern Artists:
This portrait is not merely o good paint
ing-it is q great work-the study of su-
perior mind-the production of vast in
tellect. If every scrap of contemporary
history were to be lost, posterity would
know from this canvas alone what Prince
Napoleon was. Here we see the man him
self-this misplaced Caesar, whom nature
cast in the mould of the Roman Emperors,
but who has been condemned by fate hither-
to to stand with folded arms at the foot of
throne; we see him proud of the name
which he bears, and Of the talent which he
has revealed, visibly cut TO the heart and
nobly impatient of fatility which, doubt
less, will not always prevail against him !;
an aristocrat by education, democrat by
instinct, the legitimate, and not the bastard
son Of the French revolution; born for ac-
| ton, but condemned for a time to aimless
| agitation and sterile movement; thirsting
for glory, disdainful of vulgar popularity,
caring nothing for common report, and too
| high-hearted to court either people or bour-
geoisie pursuant to the old traditions of the
Palais Royal. Yes; this is the man who
solicited the honor of leading French col
umns to the assault of Sebastopol, and re-
turns to Paris struggling his shoulders be-
cause Of the slowness Of siege which
seemed to him stupid.
This is the man who, from mere curiosity
and TO dissipate the eHnW of his active soul
took q promenade with his hands in his
pockets, among those polar icebergs where
Sir John Franklin lost his life. This is ht
who took with vigorous arm the govern.
ment of Algeria, and then threw it up il
disgust because he had not sufficient free
dom Of action. This is he who, but yester
day, stood forth in the Senate, and PLACED
himself per salten, in the first rank Of In
most illustrious orators, crushing the pa
paey as the lion of Sahel crushes trem
bling victim, and then, turning on his heel
strolled back TO his villa in the Avenu
Montaigne, where he is surrounded by al
exquisite atmosphere Of elegant antiquity
If there be one Characteristic of this nobl
and remarkable face, which NJ Flandri
has not sufficiently reproduced, it is tina
artistic, delicate, acute Florentine expires
sion which makes the Prince so like tn
Mediei family. II would be possible,
think, 10 depict upon canvas some featur
rejecting the graces Of this powerful, deli
cate and versatile mind, which astOnishes
attracts oyerawes, oaptivates without seek
: ing TO captivate, and riyets without effoI
I tho devotion of his friends.

ceiving they were chimpanzees. These
reasons, IL we had space, II would be possi-
ble to combat; while, on the other side, the
identity Of name is strong ground for be
lieving that the Punic nayigators were face
10 face with the true gorillas some two thou
sand FIVE hundred years back though the
swartby iace who succumbed TO Scipio were
no match for creatures who could have
cracked the bones Of Scipio like biscuit.
In fact, gunpowder is the only protection
against gorilla ascendenoy in the unas-
certained limits their tropical domain; and
ifthe hunter does not shoot his antagonist
at once, his gun is broken like a reed, and
his hunting days are summarily ended.
This volume contains picture Of the catas-
tfophs which befell one Of Du Chaillu's
party, and which is significant Of the powers
Of this interesting monster, whose gigantic
body and excessive strength are proved still
more satisfactorily by the specimens now
exhibiting OF the Geographical Society in
London.
ANOTHER OUTLANDsH CUSTOMER.
But the most important discovery Of M.
du Chaillu in this quarter was that Of o
nest-building ape, or rather of an ape who
erects shelter ever his head, his head be-
ing bald, and his species not having yet at
tained the art of making wigs. The dis
covery was made in this wise AS the
writer was trndging along, rather tired of
shooting buffalo, he happened to look up at
high tree he was passing, and saw most
singular-looking shelter built in its
branches. "I asked 0kabi whether the
hunters here had this habit of sleeping in
the woods; but was told, to my surprise,
that this very ingenious nest was built by
| the nshiegombouye, an ape, as found after
wards, which l put in the genus troglo-
dytes, and called troglodytes calvus-an
animal which had no hair on its head so
Okabi told me-" 1t appears that the male
and female gather together in the forests
quantity of leafy branches with which to
make q roof and vines to tie these branches
to the tree.
The tying is done so neatly, and the ROOT
is so well constructed, that, until NJ. Du
Chaillu saw the nsniego actually occupying
his habitation, he could scarce persuade
himself that human hands had not built it,
1t appears that the male alone is the actual
builder, while the female brings the branche:
and the vines, acting in the inferior ca
pacity of hodman. A shelter is built fol
each on different trees, as if instinct hat
dictated the arrangements recommended
in Balzac's PhysioIogie and this shelter
throws off rain perfectly, being neatly
rounded at the top, evidently with this in
tent, The nshiego is not gregarious, bu
lives retired with his nshiego wife. NJ. d.
Chaillu ,afterward saw nests which wer
even quite solitary, and were occupied b.
very old nshiegombouves, whose silver.
hair and worn teeth attested their grea
age. "These seemed hermits who had re
tired from the nshiego world" On tn
first occasion when the appearance of
nshiego beneath his little dome of roo
he was as pleased o man as the worl
could well hold.n

Flow to Cure a spnrined Horse.

/ have fine mare which, three years
ago, became very lame from a bone SPAWN
on the inside of the left hind leg After
pretty hard driving for several days, she
became so lame that she was unfit for
use. The SPAWN was very tender, and
rested the foot constantly on the toe
when she stood. l took her to the
blacksmith and directed him to put on
shoe without any toe-cork, and with blunt
heel-cork two inches long. She immedi-
ately travelled much BETTER and when she
stood, rested the foot on the toe and heel
corks, thus relieving the contracted cord
from the strain to which it had been con-
stantly subjected. In short time the in
hammatfon and tenderness subsidized. The
swelling abated, and she travelled very
well. She wore off the inside cork faster
than the outside one, when she began to be
lame again. then had the shoe reset and
the corks made Of the same lengh, and she
soon became well. After few a weeks had
the corks shortened q little, and the next
time she is shod little more but still
have her wear heel-corks an inch or more
in length.
There is slight enlargement of the bone
where the spawn is seated, but she per-
forms hard service, and is not at all lame.
Several Of my neighbors have applied the
same remedy, with equally good results,
and think that little thought and OBJ
servation will satisfy any one that this is
the appropriate remedy.
The cords attached to the part where the
enlargement is seated become infamed and
contracted, and raise up the heel from the
ground. When the horss brings the heel
to the ground the cords are strained, and
become irritated and infamed. The long
corks keep the heel raised permanently,
and thus prevent the cords from being
strained, and allow the inflammation to get
well. Some enlargement and slight de-
gree of stiffness may remain, but seldom
enough to affect the gait. 1 consider the
discovery Of so much Importance, that
wish the owners Of horses to know it, as
believe that many horses that are now
considered of little value may by this sim.
pie means be restored to o serviceable con.
| dition.

LIFE IN RoME.-0ne phase of life in Rome
is thus mentioned by correspondent
Claudine Minart beautiful French girl,
q dress-maker, in Rome, received an anony-
nous letter, recently, limiting at an i'm
portant mission which would be entrusted
to her. She very properly did not answer.
A second letter urged her to declare her in
tentions, if negatively by yellow ribband
worn upon her person, if afirmatiyely by a
blue ribband. She displayed yellow the first
time she took walk, and was struck at
twice with poignard by an assassin wear
ing the dress of French priest. Her
crinoline saved her, as it has saved so
many women. One priestly Frenchman
was arrested and confronted with Claudine,
but she discharged him. The fiorid imagi-
nation of the Italians has aided the spark
ling fancy of the French in clothing this
incilent with a mysterious and alien i'm
port. 1t is alleged that the pretty girl was
doomed to enact the grim role of Judith
also that her charms were to be employed
for The captivation Of q royal person. while
some go to the extant of representing +" q
totally different parsonage and a differen;
scene as the destined object of her captiva-
