Popularity of MIR. Lincoln in France

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times speaks of the fame of Mr..
Lincoln on the other side of the great wa
tiers, on this wise:
The popularity of Mr.. Lincoln has been
as much advanced abroad by his late acts
in the United States. His maintenance
of the act of Emancipation in his Annual
Message has given immense satisfaction to
all those not prejudiced by special reasons
for the rebellion, and his sagacity, straight
forwardness and honesty in the midst of
such confusion and excitement called from
NJ. Laboplaye the other day at the College
de France before an immense audience of
the elite of the intellectual world, the ex-
clamation that Mr.. Lincoln was "a greater
man than Cesar" So, too, heard lead
ing French politician say lately; "You
Americans don'tappreciate Mr.. Lincoln at
his proper value. No monarch in Europe
could carry on such colossal war in front
while harrassed BY so many factions and
fault-fnders behind. No, you don't give
him his due" From an European point
of view the merit Of Mr.. Lincoln is, in ef-
feet immense; but in Republic il is the
people and not the President who carry
on the war. The personal compliment
paid to Mr.. Lincoln in the above remark
is, however, none the less valuable, and
on every side hear people begin to say
that Mr.. Lincoln will merit more than q
biography-he viii merit history.

A Striking Lesson.

Napoleon's career was proyidentisl;
there is no name in history, whose whole
course bears 50 palpable proof OF hh -1
having been created for heroic purpose. 'E
Europe, in the partition of Poland, had
committed great crime France, IN the
murder of her king, had committed =
great crime The three criminal thrones,L
and the regicide republic, were alike to
be punished. Napoleon was the appoint
ed instrument for both purposes. He first
cursed the democracy, and then he broke
the strength of three powers in the field
He thrice conquered the Austrian capital;
he turned Prussia into a province and
his march to Russia desolated her most
populous provinces, and laid her 1Asiatic
capital in ashes. But France, which con-
tinually paid for all these fearful triumphs
with her blood, was still to suffer fnIf
retributive punishment. Her armies
were hunted from the Nistul, to the
Rhine, and from the Rhine, to the Seine. -
She saw her capital twice captured-her
government twice swept sway-her con
quest lost-her plumber recovered by its
original possessors. and her territory gar
risoned by an army of strangers-her
army dlsbanded-her empire cut down to &
the limits of the old monarchy-her old
masters restored, and her idol torn from
his altar. Thus were thrown away the
fruits of the revolution, of regicide, of the %
democracy, and of a quarter of century
Of wretehedness, fury, and blood On
Napoleon himself felt the heaviest blow
of all. All the shames, sorrows and SUE
ferings OF France were concentrated on
his head. He saw his military power ru-
ined-his last army slaughtered-his last
adherents exiled-his family fatigue-his as
whole dynasty uncrowned--and himself of5

Landed Property in England.

in the main. landed property is still
the same condition in England to-day as
il was Immediately after the Norman con-
quest The foreign invaders at that
time divided the land among small
number of mobiles and brigand captains
with the point of sword and in the
Doomsdsy Book it was then laid down
that their right TO the possession of these
lands was as high as heaven and as deep
as hell, and that the hand of him should
wither who would dare to touch it. In
the course of time number of free pro
prietors crept in between the landholding
aristocracy, but subsequent Parliamentary
acts. known as the Enclosure acts, re-
stricted once more the number OF free
proprietors by forcible appropriation
With the exception of few localities,
England possesses no peasantry IN the
sense of France and of southern and
western Germany. There is only the ar
istocratie proprietor, the steward or the
farming tenant and the laborer. The
condition of the laborer is worse than
anywhere in central or western Europe,
The political power British feudalism
wields is immense.

THE DISTINGUISHED DEAD OF lS63.-The
King of Denmark is we believe, the only
monarch who has died during the past
year. France has lost Billaut, her lead
ing government minister. Bngland's list
of distinguished dead is unusually large.
It includes the Marquises Of Lsndsdowne
and Normandy. Sir George Cornwall
Lewis Mulready, the painter, Sir Cress-
well. Cresswell Lord Clyde, Archbishop
Whately and Lord Lyndhurst. In this
country, but very few prominent civil
isns have died. In the army our Losses
have been severe including among the
Generals the names of Berry, Reynolds,
Sill, Lytle, Bsyard, Saunders, Buferd and
Corcoran. The navy has lost the gallant
Commodores Foot and Rogers. The reb'
els have lost Stonewall Jackson, Generals
Paxton, Tracy, Tilghmsn, Pender. Gar,

and John B. Floyd and Mr.. Yancey.-
Mexico has lost one of her best men,

in Bassora also there lived miser more
miserly than himself. to whom he might
go to school, and from whom he might
learn much. He forthwith journeyed
thither, and presented himself 10 the
great master as an humble commencer in

under him to become student. -
