FREEDOM OF THOUGHT IN FRANCE


Louis Napolean is In a fix. He invited
criticism upon his Life of Caesar" but he
trusted the critics would remember that he
was emperor as well as author Prof Ro-
geard has failed to do this, and perceiving,
as all the world has done, that the imperial
historian defended his own policy in
that of his hero, he has attacked it merci-
lessly under the same disguise. The Lon
don Spectator ysof him 1T
He has poured out knowledge and ha-
tired together, in pamphlet which has
made all Paris ring. Such diatribe-so
scathing, and so full of point, SO bitter in
its irony, so ruinous in its exposure of facts,
so truthful, and SO dangerously full of In

second empire, and it is all critique, upon

Augustus or Juhus2 No reason in the world
only you perceive If Augustus, in 1865, will
write the life of Julius as defence of his
own regime, criticism of Augustus suggests
something very ike criticism of the imperial
author. As fact it Is, under the guise of a
criticism, a diatribe--a diatribe such as
| Frenchmen love, boiling over with hate and
wit, malignity and point, libel and eloduence,
unprineipled assertion and noble defence OF
living principle. Augustus is attacked on
every side, in his private life as his public,
his government and his book, his friends
and his empire, with cruel force.
What was Napoleon Il do? He was
author, and here was free criticism of his
book; but then, he was emperor, and here
was a scathing criticism of the empire. lie

We question if he is safe even In Belgium,
nor can we absolutely condemn the emperor.
Mark the position of the emperor. But
one free French criticism of his book has
appeared, and that is suppressed as abse-
lutely as all English criticism, and ITS au-
thor is flying for his life or in just fear OF ex-
patriation to Cayenne. The imperial author

QUININE. Alexander the Great died Of

Oliver Cromwell was carried off by ague.
a few doses of quinine would, doubtless,
have saved their lives, and might have ma

But when the great Macedonian expired,
the medicinal virtues of Peruvian bark, pro-
duced by the Chinchona trees, were unknown
outside of their native forests; and when
our Lord Protector breathed his last, they
were just beginning TO be known in London.
Since then the value Of qainine has been
appreciated; and who shall say how many
valuable lives are daily saved by Its admin

ague prevails, and in the tropics it has be-
come Indispensable All the pluck, enter

The property of this company is MI owned in
fee simple and is all paid for and consists of the
following tracts: 1st That valuable island, known
as the sI.ouer Stump Creek Island" containing 2
acres and 80 perches, situated in the Allegheny
river, at the mouth of the Clarion river. On this
island derrick was erected in the spring of 1851,
and an engine placed on the grounds, but the war
breaking out, the parties sold off and enlisted.
I'd. The Clipper Stump Greek Island" is stu
ate but few rods above the lower island, con-
tanning acres and 20 perches, acres Of which
are owned by this company, on which are erected
house. stable, &C. Neither of these islands is lia-
BILE to overflow, and both are well protected by
stone and trees against washing. By reference to
the map of Pennsylvania, it win be observed that
the Clarion river empties into the Allegheny at a
point due south from Oil Creek, and Oil is found
at Freeport ON this line further south, we have
every reason to believe that these islands are in
the very centre of the great oil belt Of Pennsylya-
MIA. Besides all this, they lie far below the coal
measures.
The company also owns / acre and 81 perehes
of land about 81 miles above the upper island, at
the mouth Of Ritchey Run, near the town Of EN-
lenton, Venango Co., Pa, upon which is the eel
ebrated Fox and Widel well, with new engine
derrick, building, &C. &c, and well bored to the
depth of 420 feet. This well tubed at 35C
feet, and in few hours pumping yielded about
one barrel of oil, but the proprietors determined
to sink it deeper, and the company viii, as soor
as possible sink this well if necessary to the depth
| Of 1000 feet or more. The ''Stump Islands Com
pany" ownes the iphoLe interest in well, fixture.
and land, and Development Fund" will be amply
sufficient to complete this well and sink others il
the Islands. There is besides, room enough
on the Ritchey Run tract for several wells
