PIcrCREs OF NAPoLEeS.-Fictor Hugo
gives the following enthusiastic description
of Napoleon Bonaparte:
He was everything. He was complete.
He had in his brain re cube of human fac
uities. He made codes like Jnstinian. be
dictated like Caesar, his conversation Joined
the lightning of Pascal to the thunderbolt OF
Tacitus, he made history and he wrote it,
his bulletins were blinds, he combined the
figures Of Newton with the metaphors OF
Mahommed, he left behind him in the Orient,
words as grand as 7the Pyramids, at Tilsii
he taught majesty to Emperors, at the Aead-
envy of Science he replied to Laplace, in the
Council Of the State he held his ground with
Merlin, he gave q soul to the geometry OF
lfhose and the trickery of these, he was legal
with the attorneys and sideral with the as
tronomers; like Cromwell blowing out one
candle when two were lighted, he went to
the temple 10 cheaper q curtain tassel he
saw everything; he knew everything which
did not prevent him from laughing a good
mans laugh at the cradle of his little child
and all at once, startled Europe listened,
armies set themselves in march, parks Of
artillery rolled along, bridges of boats were
stretched over the rivers, clouds of cavalry
galloped in the hurricane /; cries, trumpets,
q trembling of thrones everywhere, the from.
tiers of the kingdom oscillated on the map,
the sound Of . superhuman blade was heard
leaping from its sheath men saw him
standing erect in the horizon with q flame in
his hands aud a resplendenee in his eyes
unfolding in the thunder his two wings, tht
grand army and the old guard; and be wa
the %archangel of war.

PRoDUcTIoS OF SEx.-Every few years the
attention of men Of science is called to some
new explanation of the difference in sexes.
Among the latest theories advanced is the
following by NJ. De Ferrendi, in a late issue
of the Scientific American. He says: For
several years / have been in possession of
this knowledge, and being a Frenchman, l
had intended to communicate it to the Acad.
cmy of Science at Paris /; but illness has pre-
vented my return to France. Fearing that
my secret may perish with me. as in the case
of Segato, | have decided to publish it for
the benefit of all civilized people. Expert
ence has shown that the theory heretofore
prevailing in regard 10 the production Of tho
sexes is false, and that this which | submit
is the only rue one. 1t is the male who en-
genders the substance destined already to be
of the masculine or the feminine sex, before
the female receives it. The right side appa-
ratus engenders the male, the left side the
female. By a partial c~astration of the male,
therefore, it is easy for stock breeders to pro.
cure offspring all of either sex. At La Hottie,
near Fort Liberty, Hayti, this process has
been in operation a long while, and for the
space of twelve years that / have watched
the result, it has never failed.

A BEAM rs IN THINE OWE EYE

In one particular section of the Union,
for years past, q false philanthropy, hav-
ing for its subject the negro, has been a
dominant sentiment. The persistence and
licentious determination of its professors,
eliminated at last in the late fearful civil
struggle through which we have just
passed. 1t is vain and f~ruitless now to
argue against the dreadful logic of the
events, whose terrible consequences are
already being visited upon us of this gen.
Grafton, and the direfnl effects of which
will be felt for a century to come. But
for the purpose of warding off any second
crusade of pseudo philanthropy against
common sense and the laws of nature, it
is we'll to present to the public all facts
cognate to the main question involved in
the action of the New England bigots.
We know nothing more pertinent to this
nation than the following:
Not long since the editor Of the New
York Journal of Commerce remarked
1t would be, we feReat it, more sensible
for the people of New England. who are
given to philanthropy and misanthropy
(for lovers of negroes are generally haters
of whites), if they would devote some at
teition to their home slayeries and sor-
rows.
There are agonies in the poor houses
iof the North which humanity might well
seek to soothe. For some years past these
institutions have been neglected, while the
attention of the people has been turned to
the war; but it is o greatly TO be feared
that of the widows aud orphans of the
fallen soldiers, without other provisions,
many must GO there. It would be curious
to know the rates at which the poor are
now sold in the Eastern States. Can any
one furnish correct statistics of the market:
In response to this inquiry, the Hart
ford Times sets forth the following dis
graceful state of facts: In Connecticut
the State and town white poor are let &c
the lowest bidders; and we find that the
State poor have been let for $1,000 and
s $1,000 a year and that the towns have
their poor rates as follows; Newton, 1000
inhabitants, 5000 = year, last year-ow.
ing to the high rate of provisions, about
$500 extra was paid ;aBarkhanstead, l,0OU
inhabitants, the sum of $40, aud the
contractor was Mr.. Mason, of New Hart
ford, who kept the New Hartford poor
In view of this condition of affairs II

country, does it not occur to every sensi
BILE man that the eha<ity and kind-heart
edness so layishly exhibited toward tn,
thiek-lipped. jay-bird heeled. kinky-head
ed sons and daughters of Africa, would
find q better field for its display among
the suffering poor of their " blood ant
color. Before these New England saint
Iscan so closely the mote in the eyes o
their Southern brethren, would it not b
well for them to pluck the beam out o
their own?

To CLEAN KNIyEs.-A small clean potato
with the end cut off, is a very convenient
medium of applying brick dust to knives,
keeping it about the right moisture, while
the juice of the potato assists in removing

be obtained by this method than any other
VIC have tried, and with less labor.

A Priest in Rouen, France, was lately
sentenced to three months imprisonment for
having introduced political sentiments in one
of his sermons. Most of the preachers of the

sively to Abolitionism, and they are reward
ed for doing SO by the Government. The
Clergymen who preach the Gospel and give
no attention to Abolitionism are most viru-
lently assailed therefor by the political par
sons and their followers.
