The Emperor of the French-His DecIin
ing Influence.

The Emperor of the French-His DecIin-
ing Influence.
from the Herald
Napoleon is now no longer the man he was
There are many things which indicate that the
good genius which has hitherto stood so faith
fully by him is gradually leaving him to his
own resources. Fortune, whatever the cause,
is less propitious than formerly. For the last
eighteen years he has occupied more con-
spicuous place in the eye OF the world than
any man living in the same period. The part
which he has had to play in the drama of his
time-a part in some sense self-selected, but in
son2e sense also forced upon hm-has been
great and hazardous, but his worst enemies
cannot refuse to admit that he has played it
with singular ability and success. His admin.
istration of the affairs Of France, nOtwith
standing many adverse influences, has raised
that nation to height of prosperity and great
ness rivalling, ii not surprising, the dazzle and
magnifcence of the First Empire. No great
movement has taken place in Europe since l84s
with which he has not been directly or indirectly
connected and in no single instance, till within
a recent period, has he spoken without effect or
exerted his influence in vain.
Since the days of Oliver Cromwell no ruler
has so firmly grasped the reins of power or in
fused such vigor into every department of Gov
eminent. Nor has the Emperor found scope
1or the exercise of his faculties in one direction
only. He has appeared but once at the head of
MS army on the held OF battle; but his success
on that occasion, IN the estimation of many,
warranted the belief that in other circumstances

The Social science Congress.

From the Tribune
The association formed some years ago in
England for the promotion of Social Science is
vindcating its claim TO be ranked among those
philanthropc institutions which are the glory
of the present age. AT drst decried and ridi-
culed by those who have little or no sympathy
with any movement looking to the amelloration
OF mans condition by moral agencies, it has
steadily pursued its course of usefulness until
now it occupies a position in which it eXtorts
the respectful Acknowledgements of its former
opponents. Even the London Times has ceased
to be cynical towards it, and that journal sneers
no longer at the men for whom in former times
it had no kinder word than TO describe them as
weak minded individuals, whose knieht-eIrantry
in the cause of reform was redeemed from utter
contempt only by the beneyolence OF the
motives that prompted them to action. The
association has conquered esteem; and the Eng
lsh press now speaks OF it in the language of
unqualified praise. The Congress this year
appears to have opened under the most tavora-
BILE auspices, and the proceedings promise to be
fruitful in usefulness OF substantial kind. The
| inaugural address of the President, the Earl of
Shattesbury, was OF the most practical character
| WIDE reaching in its views, sound in the prn.
| ciples enumerated, and imbued largely with the
noble spirit of Christian benevolence.
Lord Brougham's address on the second day
was scarcely inferior to the President's; and
several papere of great value, on variety OF
| subjects OF the highest importance, had been
read before the Congress- The aims of the Asso-
citation are OF a lofty kind. To spread the bless
| ings Of popular education; to discourage and re-
Iress vice and crime; to soften the rigors OF
law, without weakening its terrors to evil-doers;
to mitigate, as tar as possible, the hardships OF
life OF manual labor, and at the same time
stimulate industryG to teach the poor provi-
dence and thrift; to( disseminate useful informa-
ton on commerce and trade; TO promote inter-
national amity andy peace; and to give the
utmost practicable effect to the great doctrine
of human brotherho9 9d-these are among the
worthy objects it PROPOSES to accomplish.
Every lover of his\ race-every intelligent
laborer in the cause of eivizaton-will rejoice
in its growing success, for, in the best sense Of
the expression, it is cosmopolitan in its char
acter. 1t is already receiving valuable contri
buttons from this country, and, in the goot

Two AstrOlOgers.
From the Tribune.


The World said the other day, "Now, it only
needs to recall what a slight percentage on the
total vote of this great State shifts heavy
majority, to expose the radical game of 'brag.'
One year ago. General Barlow received 301, O55
votes, and General Slocum 273. 1913, Republican
majority of 27,857. Barlow's vote was less than
524 per cent of the total poll; Slocum's was
more than 47s per cent Of the tota! poll. In
other words, the radicals carried the State by
less than q per cent OF the entire vote. There
fore, Hoffman and Pruyu have only to gain over
and above Slocum's vote, which was not a full
Democratic vote, less than per cent. of the
Republican vote, to be elected Governor and
Lieutenant-Governor of the State OF New York
If any body doubts, etc. etc."
ln reading this, we are reminded of the Anind
AStrO0giR Of old Bonatus to whose acc Irate
prophecies the statistical areuments of the
World bear the closest reseu blance. With all
the gravity of that journal the astrologer said !:
-"As once l sought the revolution OF a year, l
found Mars IN the fifth degree beyon the Cusp
Of the Angle of the Earth in Capricorn South
Latitude; which signited the killing OF the
Roman Emperor; and acquainted him with it,,
for his Court was at Grossieni, md at Forlirii
and it was found that Pandulsus de Farsenella,
and Theobaldus Franciscus, and divers others
OF the Secretaries, had consplred to slay hun
and none of his own astTooeers observed it,
because they did not believe that Mars was in
an Angle for he was A degrees beyond the
Cusp and So minutes in their opinion"
However, the Emperor was not killed, and
Hoffman won't be elected.

Horace Greeley as a Hen.

Horace Greeley long ago brought his turnip
patch into literature. He has now introduced
his poultry yard INTO politics. He literally
cackles over the legislative nominations of his
party for the current year; b4t, being just as
irrational in his capacity of hef as he usually
has been in his capacity of hfman being, he
cackles over that which would Pe cause OF sor-
