NAPoLEoN's SPEEcH.-It may perhaps
amuse some Of your readers to know that
the Emperor's speech took twelve min
utes to speak, consisted of 2,042 words,
and was read at Rome, Vienna, st. Pc
tersburg. Athens, and Lisbon--besides, Of
course. London-as fast as it was spoken
off In Paris, almost before it was spo-
ken. le discours' was placarded At the
corner of each street and everywhere at
tracted a large audience. Where there
was dense crowd, or in the QUARTERS
where education is not the strong point Of
the population. there was generally an ex-
FOUNDER chosen, who read the document
aloud, explaining the Imperial policy after
his own peculiar views to those less gifted
than himself. As several of these groups
were gathered round their teachers on the
Boulevards and in the streets adjacent,
the Emperor himself passed in an open
carriage on his way back to st. Cloud; he
was warmly received, and appeared to be
especially struck BY the attention which
his speech had attracted among the lower
classes. g You see, Marquis, we are read,
discussed, aud no doubt severely critici-
sed.y Such is the remark which he is
said 10 have made. with smile, to his
equerry-in- waiting. y Yes, Sire. read, un-
derstood, and appreciated" '<Who shall

A Coon WoRD FOR MR. LINcoLN.-It
is some amends for the ridicule which has
been so unsparingly heaped by certain for
eign presses upon Mr. Lincoln, that the
London Spectator, one of the most respect
able journals in Europe, finds occasion for
the following words about him:
Mr. Lincoln, has been tested as few
governors haseever been tested and though
he may not always have risen fully TO the
level of great emergency, he has seldom
failed to display noble impartiality, a
great fir1nncss Of purpose, aud . sagacious,
If somewhat utilitarien, Judgment. =
We believe juster man never held the
reigns of government.

How NATURE CovFRs UP BATTLE
FIELDs.-Did | tell you ever, among the
affecting little things one is always seeing
in these stirring war times, how saw on
the Bull Run battle field. pretty, pure,
delicate flowers growing out Of emptied
ammunition boxes, rose thrusting up its
graceful head through the head of a Union
drum, which doubtless sounded its last
charge Cor retreat as the case may have
been), in that battle, and acunning scarlet
verbena peeping out Of a fragmentofburst-
ed shell in which strange cup it had been
planted. Wasn't that peace growing out
of war? Even so shall life graceful and
beautiful ever grow out ofthe horrible and
terrible things that transpire in this chang
ing and ever advancing world Nature
covers even the battle grounds with ver-
dure and bloom. Peace and plenty soon
spring up in the track devastating cam
paigps, and all things in nature and society
shall work out the progress of mankind
and harmony of Gods greatest designs
Exchange.

HsEGENVTNfa TO SEE.

The Liverpool I'OSt has Il witty commu-
nication, in which the writer gives rumor
that we are about to recognize the bellig-
erent rights Of the New Zealanders. He
then specifics various reasons for our in
tended action, the reasons being the same
which the British gave for recognizing the
belligerent rights Of the rebels lie says
that the New Zealand rebellion is for the
purpose of extending cannibalism, and
that the American sympathzers with the
rebels, not being able to defend cannibal-
ism itself, have hit upon unique and inge-
nious apology for defending the cannibals.
They say that the true way to kin canni-
balism is to let it expand and it will die
ont. The natives he states, allege that the
Englishman's bible supports cannibalism,
because it nowhere condemns it, The
clever satire closes as follows:
One old gentleman, the learned Judge
A., who formerly when in full practice
and aspiring to high position, was great
philanthropist, in fact, the Lord Brougham

for more troops is the last that will be made
in the present war. The troops now in the

TO 1t is going to be great deal harder
reconciling the Copperheads to the suppress

destruction Of the institution of negro sla-

nearer this consummation, devoutly wish

desperate end malignant, gloomy and fe-
rocious they become. Unless the war is

1T~ That notorious horse-thief, John
Morgan, made his escape from the Column
bus, Ohio, Penitentiary, on last Friday
night, and is now reported to be safe in
Canada, probably consulting with "friend''
Vallandigham. The mode of his escape is
stated. 1t indicates collision on the part
of his jailors. Since John has got clear,
the best thing that can be done will be to
imprison those who had charge of him
where they ''can't get out" Any man who
confines such men as Morgan and his gang,
where escape is possible, does so because
he wants them to escape, or because his
connivance has been purchased. That is
the true way to account for it. Men who
have the means at their disposal, and real
