SENATOR SUMNER.-A special dispatch from
Washington to the New York Herald says:
cit has now transpired that the letter to
Senator Sumner purporting to ceme from North
Carolina negroes, emanated from Mr.. Sumner
himself"
This is most damaging revelation. affecting
the character Of an American Senator, and
renders doubly offensive his advance denuncia-
ton of the President as "usurper and an i'm
poster" in answer to the concocted letter. 1t
shows that the occasion Of the denunciation
was not only embraced, but procured by him.

FRAScE.-Rumor has it that the quarrel
between Jerome prince Napoleon) and the
Emperor has developed the fact that the
Emperor is not the Legitimate son of LOUIS,
King Of Holland and brother to the First
Napoleon. It is said Louis denied being
his father and that proof Of LEGITIMACY
are on record somewhere in Germany
The resemblance (almost perfect, for We
saw him at Prairie d1 Chen few years
ago. to the Napoleon leads to the suspi.
cion that he, and not the present Emperor,
is "the son Of his father" History tells
US, that is the gossip or scan mag history Of
France, that Hortense, the daughter of the
Empress Josephine and wife of Louis, was
not particularly careful of her virtue and
that the Bonaparte family without e1cep
ton were equally liberal of the favors Of
passion. The same history also used to
say that the present Emperor was the child
Of Napoleon and Hortense and that the
amours of the Little Corporal made Jose.
phine scold-hencc an indifference and
hence the divorce Of those two great char
acters in life's drama. 1t is also said that
the Count De Morgny and the Count Wa.
lewski were also sons of the "Corporal,"
the first by lady whose husband fell in
the battle Of Wagram and tho second by a
Polish Countess Of great beauty and mfr
nifty. So, that, at one time three illegiti.
sons Of Napoleon ruled France, namely {:
The present Emperor, De Morgny and
Walewski.
Assuming this to be true, we SEQ strong
reason why Jerome, (tbe fac simile of Ma
poleon) should claim direct descent from
the First Napoleon and as it is bastardy all
round We think he is entitled to the French
Empire.

We would not discourage the sale of Pianos
or Musical Instruments Of any kind, but the
notice below from London paper contains
fun and fact go we'll mixed that we cannot keep
it out of our TINES. The writer of it has been
badly bored by female learners, but he should
recollect that Thalbergs cannot be furnished
ready-mad like Jew Clothing. All our little
girls and boys must begin with A. B. C. in Mu.
sic as we'll as in any other branch Of study.
The Piano Mania.
There is no social disease so widespread, so
virulent, and SO fatal in its attack, as the pi
ano mania. Before girl is born, now a days,
she is predestned to sit and extract dreadful
screenings and wailings for at least ten years
Of her natural life. No question rs to whether
she possesses an ear, and no consideration for
the ears of other people is permitted to inter.
fere with the decree, which is as irrevocable as
the laws of the Modes and Persians, that
"Katy," or "Ducindy.' as the case may be,
"must play the piano" The poor thing may
be natural born housekecper, with genius
for sweeping and busting, washing and baking
but with no more perception OF chords and ca.
dences than OF the music OF the spheres. Still
she will not be permitted to follow her natural
bent, because it is SO horribly vulgah She
will be wept over, scolded and fretted at, and
any lazy fine, lady. sister or cousin, held up as
an example Of gentility.
"ro be able to play the piano in company
is the sine qua non Of many foolish, fond moth
ers' hopes, who look back with regret on their
own limited chances OF education, and are apt,
therefore, to sadly overrate the value OF what
are called accomplishments. Playing the pi-
ano is doubtless very good thing when it is
we'll done, ami by person who possesses mu.
steal taste; but otherwise it is only torture
for sensitive ear to listen to it. Jingle, jim.

lanious assortment of battles and marches,
songs and quadrilles, waltzes and opera, with.
out the slightest notion concerning them, cH.
cept that certain keys in the piano correspond
with certain notes in the book.
Excepting for evening parlor-dances, the
piano should never be played without the &C.

berg; and, even then, only few will be found
to care enthusiastically for the mere science or
game Of execution And if this is true OF a
professor in the art, how much pleasure is it
supposed can be obtained from hearing the
monotonous and spasmodic drumming of a
girl whose entire capacity for music has been
scolded or cudgeled into her, who would much
rather be employed in doing something else,
even though it were sweeping and washing
dishes.
