ELOQUENT ExTRAcT-The following
is an extract from the speech of Geo. I'll.
Pendleton, in Flemingsburg, Kentucky !:
II stood the other day in that beautiful
cemetery which overlooks the valley of
the Kentucky river and the capital Of
your State I wandered among its beauti-
tul trees, and looked upon the inscriptions
upon its many tombs. | saw there the
heroes of civil strife-I mean civil, as
distinguished from military-who had
died with the harness on. saw the
graves of the immortal dead, who had
died in our late unhappy and wretched
civil strife. Old and young all bore
testimony to the courage and yalor and
heroism of Kentucky There they are
laid altogether, those who died fifty years
ago, and those who had died this year
Confederates and Federals lay side BY
side, their battles over, their struggles
past-there they lay in the calm and 81
lent repose ola common death. Theil
spirits had assembled upon eternal wing.
to perform in concurrent harmony The
duties assigned them by the divine ap
pointment of their Almighty Maker
And why is it gentlemen that we, the liv
ing, feeling the necessity of harmony
must wait till common death shall seize
us, and until it shall be too late before WI
agree to strike hands together, bury oul
differences at the foot of our country;

and Mrs whitman, who are to be assoc

standard of the cross on heather ground.
May God bless US in our intercourse with
each other and if permitted to enter

may we find favor in the eyes of the

of my days among the heathen, for the
express purpose of pointing them to the
Lamb of God who taketh away the sins
Of the world affords much happiness"
Not word about the hardships to be
encountered.
When we left Cincinnati the boat was
to reach st. Louis Friday evening, but
Saturday night overlook US considerably
short of that place. We asked to be put
on shore, but the captain. member Of
the church, demonstrated we might have
to wait week before boat would stop
for us; we could have the use of the
cabin in which to hold divine service
A clergyman from New England, who
was on board with his little church and
machinery for mills, designing to com
mence christian settlement in the West
advised US to remain on board But here
the decisive character of the religion oi
onr wives showed itself; and to their un.
yielding love for Gods holy day we owe
doubtless, the success of our enterprise
Our ladies calmly repeated to the captain
and the New England clergyman the holy
commandment, Remember the Sabbath
day to keep it holy" and asked to be puI
on shore with our effects. The steamel

The Emperor NapOIeon's Ph-s.-
clans.


A Paris correspondent OF New York
Journal, who writes that the Emperor's
health is really in bad condition, says:
For years he has been suffering more
or less with catarrh of the bladder, and it
is said now to daily considerable guam
tity of blood. Diabetes is also reported
to have set in. In addition to his person
al friend and physician, DR. Conneau, the
Emperor now has constantly attending
and consulting him the three most emf
men in the profession in Paris-Drs. Ray
er, Nelaton and Ricord
DIR. Rayer is the doyea or president of
the faculty of medicine of Paris, and in
that capacity may perhaps be supposed to
represent all the medical learning of the
city His opinion. indeed, bears great
weight from it, and he is much employed
in consultation by those who can afford to
pay his large fees. Nelaton is, every
thing considered, the most distinguished
surgeon in Paris. He it was who went to
Italy, and found and extracted the ball
from Garibaldi'S foot, and saved him from
an amputation, after the italian surgeons
had declared that the BAH was not there,
but that amputation must take place
Records reputation in his speciality" is
worldwide. His income from his pro-
fession is said toamount to about 500 goo
francs, or 500, 900 year He receives
his patients every afternoon after O clock
and it is said that he frequently continues
his receptions till two or three in the
morning, and SO great is the rush upor
him that in order to see him at all it i:
necessary to procure number, each pa
tient awaiting his turn, as he does at
omnibus bureau. Ricord, in spite Of hi
immense income-like Alexander Dumas
Lamartine, Daniel Webster and othel
great men, living and dead-is said to bt
continually embarrassed and in debt, ant
few years since his creditors incarcerateC
him for a few days in the debtors prisor
at Clinchy. Rieord is an American b,
birth, native of Baltimore, but came t
Paris when he was 10 years old He i
now about so, and wears in his button
hole the ribbon of the Legion of Honor
Such are the Fmperor's medical advis
ers; and the fact ofits being eonsideret
necessary, in addition to his regular ply
sician-who is very skillful man, ant
in whom the Emperor has great conf
deuce-to call in such eminent men, i
perhaps in itself strong evidence of tn
Emperor's bad condition.

PICTURE OF NAPoLEoN.-He was
everything. He was complete. He had
in his brain the cube of human faculties
He made codes from Justinian-he die
tated like Casar-his conversation Joined
the lightning of Pascal to the thunderbolt
of fTacitus-he made history, and he wrote
this bulletins are Tlliads-he combined
the figures Of Newton with the metaphors
of Mahomet--he left behind him in the
Orient words as grand as the pyramids
at Tilsit he taught majesty to Emperors
at the Acadamy Of Sciences he replied tc
Laplace, in the Council of State he held
his ground with Merlin, he gave soul tc
the geometry of those and to the trickery
of these, he was equal with the attorneys
and sidereal with the astronomers; like
Cromwell blowing out one candle wher
two were lighted, he went to the Temple
to cheaper curtain tassel he saw every
thing he knew everything; which die
not prevent him from laughing a gooC
mans laugh by the cradle of his little
child and all at once, startled Europ:
listened, armies set themselves in march
parks of artillery rolled along, bridges o
boats stretched over the rivers, clouds o
cavalry galloped in the hurricane, cries
trumpets, a trembling of thrones every
where, the frontiers cf the kingdoms
oscillated upon the map, the sound of
superhuman blade was heard leaping from
it's sheath, men saw him, standing erect il
the horizon with flame in his hands an
resplendence in his eyes, unfolding i
the thunder of his two wings the Gram
Army and the Old Guard, and he was tn
aroh-angel Of war IT Victor Hugo.

ARIsTIDEs.-A tragedy by Eschylus
was once represented before the Athen-
ians, in which it was said of one Of the
characters, "that he cared more to be just
than to appear So" At these words, all
eyes were instantly turned upon Aristides,
as the man who, of all the Greeks, most
merited that distinguished character
Ever after he received, by universal con
sent, the surname of the just title, says
Plutarch, truly royal, or rather, truely
divine. This remarkable distinction
reused envy, and envy prevailed so fal
as to procure his banishnent for ten years
upon the unjust suspicion that his inhu
ence with the people was dangerous t.
their freedom. When his sentence wa
passed by his countrymen, Aristides him
self was present in the midst of them, ant
stranger who stood near and could no
write, applied to him to write for him il
his she'll.
"What name?" asked the philosopher
"Aristides," replied the stranger.
''Do you know him, then Z" said Aris
tides, "or has he in any way injured you !?
Neither" said the other; ssbut it
for this very thing I would he were cor
demned. can go nowhere but hear
Aristides the just"
Aristides inquired no further, but 100
the shell and wrote his name in it as d,
sired.
