NApoLEoN III.-From sketch of the En-
peror Napoleon, in a late number of the
New York Galary, we extract the follow
ing -
"The Emperor is not the most exemplary
of husbands. For years past he has not been
on good terms with the Empress, whose
feelings as a wife he has outraged in the
most barefaced manner. His taiso1s with
women infinitely inferior to her in every
sense have been so open, so fragrant, that
ignorance of. them on her part was impossi-
BILE. This naturally soured her temper and
rendered her cold and Indifferent toward the
man who made it apparent to the world that
he neither loved nor respected her. As an
instance of the indiscreet course pursued by
the Empress, may be mentioned the fact of
her repeated efforts to leave Paris clandes-
timely. On one occasion she was forcibly
taken out of cab at the palaee-door,
just as ii was being driven away
With only her maid, Eugenie had deter
mined to take the night train for England.
The Emperor got wind of the escapade and
frustrated il. A little later on, Eugenie sue
ceeded in taking her departure, and she did
not return until the Countess Of Castiglione
had been banished from the Court. 1t is well
known that with her cousin prince Ma
poleon) the Emperor has never been on very
good terms A mutual jealousy exists, which
events tend toinf1ame. The fact that Prince
Napoleon is, next to the Prince Imperial,
heir to the throne of France, renders the
Emperor and also the Empress quite jealous
of him. They seem to dread that he may,
in case the opportunity should present itself,
| supplant the Prince Imperial, and as natu-
raj result, they dislike their cousin, and very
| often let him see this.

MISCELLANEOUS.

England is the foe of the laborer in every
land To maintain her monopoly she must
undersell other nations in their own markets,
and to effect this must depress the wages Of
labor to the lowest possible point, and use
shoddy or other base material whenever II
can be done without immediate detection.
Her capitalists are, we are assured, accumu-
lating flOO, 600 600 or $500, 900, 900 surplus
capital per annun, and for more than CEN
tury it has been their policy to apply p0r-
ton Of this surplus to the destruction of the
industries of other nations by under-selling
them, though for a time it involved loss on
certain kinds of goods. We have often been
the victims of this INSCRIPTIONS policy, and
If the present suggestions of the Secretary
prevail il will PROSTATE us.
The war of 1879 developed our productive
power very considerably. but in two years
after the war closed the capitalists of Eng
land, by the express advice of our leading
statesmen, and in pursuance of deliberate
combination, swept our young manufactures
out of existence. In the course of speech
in Parliament in 1915, Henry Brougham,
exulting over our widespread bankruptcy,
said:
g 1t is well worth while to incur loss
upon the first expectation in order by the
glut to stiile in the cradle those rising man.
ufactures in the United States which the war
has forced into existence"
History, so far as that chapter is concern
ed, is repeating itself, and our market is
glutted with British 'woolen goods, which
until our factories shall discharge their
work-people and suspend operations, will
be sold atiess than cost. The assessment of
extraordinary taxes for the extinguishment
of the war debt while such a contest is wa
ging, will make the victory of our enemy an
easy one. The policy is suicidal, and will
prove fatal to our revenues by paralyzing the
productive power of the country and dimin-
ishing the ability of the people to consume
either dutiable or taxable commodities. -

THEODORE Triton ON KANsAs.-Theo-
dore Tilton thus writes of the feelings in
duced by his visit to Kansas: -
81 wonder that Americans, who travel
about to see historic places in the Old World,
so seldom think of visiting the historic places
in the new. Sure am that the field of Wa
terloo, or the fortress of Gibraltar, or the
towers ofSebastopol, could have no such in
terest to my own mind as the historic soil of
a young State whose prairies before they
were plowed, were anointed unto freedom
by the blood of a brave people. 1t makes
ones heart glow with patriotic ardor to stand
in Kansas and remember her history. There
was time when her handful of heroes stood
in Thermopyle. May perennial honor keep
green their names! The nations fate hung
upon their fidelity. What if Kansas had be-
come Slave State? Think of it! Jefferson
Davis might have been President ofthe Uni
ted States at this hour-a contingency which
no loyal American can harbor in his mind
for moment, except for the single mitiga-
ting reflection that this would have saved us
from Andrew johnson.

PRACTICAL ScIENcE.-A very valuable
pocket-knife was dropped into a twenty-four
feet well, half full of water. "How shall
we get IT out? Shall we have to draw the
water from the well?" The writer proposed
to use strong horseshoe magnet, near by,
suspended by cord. "But VIC can't see
where to lower the magnet, SO as to touch
the knife" "Throw the suns rays down
the bottom of the well by looking-glass, "
was the second answer 1t was done; the
knife rendered visible from the top of the
well, the magnet came into contact, and the
knife brought up-all being accomplished in
a minute of time.

Rum CoLoR.-In one of the New England
parishes, since the commencement Of the
reform of temperance, at a meeting held for
the transaction of business, proposition
was introduced and carried for painting the
meeting house. Of course 1t was necessary
to decide what color it should be painted.
One gentlemen proposed white; another
green; another yellow; another red, and
reasons were offered for each. At last says
one: ''Mr. MODERATOR l move that 1t be
painted rum color; and l will give reason.

The resolutions introduced in the Legis-
lature of Delaware, approving the recent
decision of the Supreme Court Of the United
States against the constitutionality of test
oaths are very suggestive, and will doubtless
be read by Mr. Justice Field, who seems to
be the most active agent in these late de-
crees, with the more satisfaction inasmuch
as the Delaware Copperheads who offered
these resolutions openly sympathized with
treason during the war, and never adopted
any resolutions in support of the Union
cause. -Philadclllhid Press

CLARION COUNTY --On Sunday afternoon,
May 26th says the Banner, while Allie
Corbett, son of w. l.. Corbett, Esq, of
this borough, was engaged in placing chair
on the upper front steps of his fathers res
idence, ne accidentally fell forward, his head
striking the third or lower step. Though
hurt, the little fellow jumped up and laugh
ed at his fall and sat down on the chair.
Some time had elapsed, when he complain
ed of his head hurting him, and DR.. Ross
was sent for, but the injury gave no signs of
proving fatal or even serious. On Monday
evening he ate an unusually hearty supper,
and was in good spirits. In an hour after
wards he was a corpse. His very sudden
death caused a deep feeling Of sadness
among our citizens, and his parents have
the sympathy of the entire community. 1t
is somewhat remarkable that the hurt which
produced death manifested no other evil
deree than that of simple bruise, yet all
were deceived as to the result. What makes
the case still more sad is the fact that his
mother is absent, visiting friends in Ohio,
to whom the news will be terrible blow
