he been such man the end of our civil

to disengage himself from all dependence on

inexactly -redecting ambition, and partly by
eagerness to escape from the vexations OF
his position in the imperial family OF Aus

popular with the nation made him obnoxious
to his relatives. His wife with woman's

On the subject of tin everybody supposes
himself capable of talking with ease and In
definitely. DR.. johnson used to say that
almost every man thought he could drive a
chaise and write an article and so the pop
ular notion clearly runs on the matter of tin.
In Missouri, at all events, that is the current
prejudice, Judging from the popular volu-
bility in reference to the new tin deposits
which are claimed to have been discovered
in the vicinity of Iron mountain. The tin
fever is epidemic. They have procured old
Cornwall miners, who have passed the
greater portion of their days in tin caves and
tin kitchens below ground, to cave and ex-
plore the limits of the new discoveries, to
know ofa surety if they are as rich and re-
liable as stheir fevered imaginations had
led them to believe. The discoveries in ex-
peetancy in Madison and Iron counties, are
built on those already made in the neigh
boring region and an influx of strangers
from eastern states marks the extent of the
excitement The Ironton Register throws
up its hat, to think that the United States
are no longer dependent on the old world for
their saucepans. Itdescribes everybody a.
"tin mad" and leaves others to infer that it
is ditto itself This rage over "tin," however,
is nothing new. Scarcely any one requires
to be told, at this late day, that there isnoth-
ing like "tin."

TEN MINUTES AGAINST THREE DAYS.
Some enterprising money-loving Yankee has
published little book, entitled "Ten minute
Speeches, or Temperance in congress" In
this book are given lot of speeches of ten
minutes length upon the subject of temper
among which is one of Dick Yates. 1t
seems that this speech had most disastr-
Gus effect on Richard, for he was. one of the
senatorial excursion party" and on the re-
turn trip he lay beastly drunk on the steam
boat all the way from Omaha to st Joseph,
as reported by an eyewitness. If this is the
effect of ten minutes temperance speech,
what would be the result of regular tempe
rance lecture ?-IHS. State Register.

Macmillan 5 Character.

William Henry Hurlbut, now travelling in
Europe, gives the following sketch of Maxi
milan and his motives in going to Mexico,
in one Of his recent letters
"No one, think, who ever knew or con-
versed with the late emperor of Mexico, can
doubt that he was the last man in the world
who ought to have undertaken the task of
regenerating such country as Mexico
With the generous instincts, he united also
the impracticable tastes and prejudices OF
his ancestor, Joseph II. There was II
strange combination in him of the dashing
and adventurous, but iuconsiderate midship-
man, with the dreamy German STUDENT
Frankly desiring to make himself as illus
trious by his own deeds as he was by his
descent and inherited rank, and nobly seeking
to win fame by a real development of the
prosperity and character of harrassed and
PROSTATE nation, he was entirely incapable
of perceiving that neither his nature nor his
objects in life were in the least comprehend
ed by those who surrounded him. When he
reached Mexico he found the liberal party
entirely crushed and, as he was himself
real and honest liberal at heart, he undertook
to raise and reconcile to himself the crushed
liberal party, instead of consolidating his
power with the help of the people who had
invited him into Mexico, and who knew what
Mexican liberalism really meant far better
than he. This was his original, and, as it
finally proved, his fatal blunder and he
was confirmed in this by his unlucky though
not uncreditable anxiety to emancipate him
self from the control Of the French, and ap-
aear as a real national head of q real Mexi.
can nationality. 1t was not pleasant to
Macmillan as a Hapsburg prince; it was
almost intolerable to Maximiliau's wife. as a
