NapOleOn's prosecution OF the promoters
Of the subscription for a monument Of NJ.
Bandin, victim Of the corp Fetdt, has re-
suited 10 the conviction Of several journ-
alists and others, all Of whom have been
heavily fined and punished by the suspen-
sion Of their civil rights. This has pro-
ducgd, we are told, unusual agitation in
Paris. Coupling this news with that re-
ceived on Friday Of the discovery Of a
conspiracy for the overthrow Of the EN-
pire, aud we are warranted in drawing the
inference that there Is something yerv
rotten, not in Denmark, but 10 France.
One of the surest indications Of a periloUs
condition Of a government is found in
attempts to stiAe the expression Of public
opinion, and muzzle the press. A stable
government could Withstand a dozen
Lantsrnes, because there would be no
real attacking points for the editors
Of such publications to avail them
elves Of If the example Of Spain is not
telling dissslrOusly for Napoleon Ill, his
| tory does not furnish reliable examples
| We may be certain that the press perse-
| cutions, reported by cable, are part Of the
EmperCrs extraordinary precautions to
stins the threatened storm. The extent Of
the insecurity Of his throne cannot be
known if there be 10 press to report it,
and everything giving token thereof is
mercilessly aud rigidIy prevented from
getting to the general knowledge through
other public sources. We may, we think,
| look for siadling events in France before
long, The immense army may, after all,
have work enough to do at home.-N Y

ROBBERY BYA WOMAN.

A young bank clerk in Paris was re-
Gently robbed by a woman under the
following singular circumstances He
had been sent to pay draft, but when he
arrived there he found the room crowded
with men and women, who also wanted
to pay drafts. By his side stood pretty
young LADY, well dressed and of very
elegant manners. "How provoking this
is" she said to him, eve shall have to
wait at least three hours until our turn
comes" He found her so chatty and
amiable that he invited her to accompany
him to a neighbOring coffee house, and
the upshot Of the matter was that he
spent the whole day in her company. He
thought he could get the draft next morn
ing from the RuiSSier of the bank before
it had been protested. Late in the even
ing he was walking with his. dulcinea in
one of the deserted alleys Of the Chateau
de Fleurs, when the lady suddenly with
drew from her pocket a casket from
which she took small golden vial. This
VIAL" she said to him, contains a very
delicious perfume, just smell oft" The
young man smelled the perfume, became
very dizzy, sank to the ground, and fell
asleep. When he awoke to consciousness,
several hours afterwards, he found that
his gold watch and all his money were

on Thursday night last. The wife Of Mr..
Jones, of the firm of Scott, Jones q Co.,

bed in her usual health. During the night
she walked Mr.. Jones, stating that she had
dreamed she was blind. Finding all right
she soon went 10 sleep again, but the dream
was repealed. NJ. Jones Immediately
arose, lighted the gas, and made the re-
markable discovery that his wife WIS TO.

two cousins afflicted in a similar mar ner.
Altogether the case is most remarkable and

NO PRESENTS.
Bridal FOI1ies Done Away VIII
The Cleveland HPrnIR has the follow

Bridal FOnies Done Away Win.
The Cleveland Herald has the follow
ing sensible ideas:
A gentlemen of this city, whose daugh-
ter is soon to be married, has printed on
the wedding cards, mo presents will be
received" That is sensible. The Gus
tom of giving presents at weddings has
grown to be such an abuse that invita-
tions to a wedding are looked on with as
much dissatisfaction as the receipt Of a
dunning letter. Every one on any kind
of relations with the parties feels obliged
to 60, and dare not go empty handed,
whilst the fear of being thought stingy
induces the making of larger gift than
can at all times be well afforded. The
receipt of presents places the young
couple under obligations to the giyers
that frequently become very burdensOme,
especially as they are expected to make
commensurate returns when marriage
takes place in the families Of donors.
In many cases the friends of the young
couple absent themselves from the we'd
ding, and thereby give rise to a feeling CT
GOODNESS, simply because they are unable
to make presents equal in value to those
of weather. friends and do not wish to
provoke comments by their own humble
gifts, though larger in proportion to their
means than the most costly trifles, and
given with sincere affection. We hope
the notice mo presents will be received"
will appear frequently on wedding cards,
until, at last, the old and simple kind OF
presents will again come in vogue.

A STEAMBOAT CASE.

Captain John E. Hars, of the steamboat
Glendale, was recently examined on a
charge Of violating the maritime law in
running his boat without aAFire tiller rope
The complaint was made by Peter Van
dervoort, Inspector of HulIs. 1t appears
that on the last trip of the Glendale from
Pittsburg 10 St Louis, the wire tiller rope
broke near Paducah, and instead ofsplicing
it, a MANILA rope was substituted. Captain
Hare stated that the snspector at Pittsburg
had told him he could put in a manila
tiller rope. 1t was also stated that the
Captain had said that the wire rope was a
farce. The penalty for violating the regu-
laiion is a fine of 800 and imprisonment
not exceeding two months. Captain Hare
was held to answer.
