How THE FRENCH PRINCE IMPERIAL Is
EDUoATED.-" Train up child in the way
he should go" etc, is one of the Oldest
axioms the world is familiar with, and at
the present moment the Emperor Napo-
leon is evidently acting upon it with con-
siderable activity. He has recently had
constructed in the private garden of the
Tuileries a couple of miniature fortifca-
tons, by the aid of which the young
Prince Imperial is being instructed in the
art OF war. One Of these Notifications is
regular in form, the other consists of q
small fort OF, redoubt, thrown up at an emer-
gency, to defend either passage, q bridge
or camp. The ditch is furnished with a
stockade to insure the occupants of the
fort against surprise, and the outer ap-
proaches are defended by number of
round pits placed close together. When
the Imperial family are at the Tuileries
the Prince receives daily instruction in
the art of military engineering, by the aid
of these miniature works, from the mouth
OF an officer of engineers attached to the
Emperor's person, and at times even from
the Emperor himself. 1t is said, more
over, that the boy takes the highest inter
est in these studies, which he pursues
(say the French papers) with passion
ate zeal; therefore we have less rea-
son to fear that when he grows old
he may depart from those idees Napo-
leoniennes in which he is SO consistently
bred.

stated yesterday by the Senator from Hi
nois Mr.. Trumbull] that in every State
but two the white voters registered out
numbered the colored voters; and the fact
that in two States the colored voters out
number the white voters is owing to the
simple accident that there are more
colored men in those States than there are
white men. Congress has not sought to
establish negro supremacy, nor has it
sought to establish the supremacy of any
class or party of men. If had sought to
establish negro supremacy it would have
been an easy matter by excluding from the
right of suffrage all men who had been
concerned in the rebellion, in accord
ance with the proposition of the distin-
guished Senator from Massachusetts, MIR.
Sumner in his speech at Worcester, in
1866. He proposed to exclude all men
who had been concerned in the rebellion
and confer suffrage only on those who
were left That would have established
negro supremacy by giving the negroes
an overwhelming majority In every State
and if that had been the object OF Con
gress it could have been readily done.
But, sir, Congress has only sought tc
divide the political power between the
loyal and the disloyal. 1t has disfranchised
some fifty thousand disloyal leaders, leav
ing all the rest of the people to vote
They have been enfranchised on both
sides, that neither should be placed in the
power of the other. The rebels have the
right to vote so that they shall not be
under the control and power OF the Union
men only, and the Union men have beer
allowed to vote so that they SHALL not BIZ
under the control and power OF the rebels
This is the policy, to divide the politica
power among those men Tor the protec
ton of ca CHI. Sir, the charge that we in
| tend te create negro supremacy or col
cred State governments is without tbs
slightest foundation, for it would haY,
been in the power of Congress to hav,
easily conferred such supremacy by simply
excluding the disloyal from the right 0

subdue irritability, refresh the spirits, and
renew the energies, such as is possessed by
no other agent When the system of man
is exhausted by labor or study, cup of
tea reinvigorates and restores as no other
form Of food or beverage can. He thinks
it promOtive of longevity, and adds: "Tea
saves food by lessening the waste of the
body, soothes the vascular system, and
affords stimulus to the brain. The young
do not need it, and it is worthy of note
that they do not crave or like it. Children
will frequently ask for coffee, but seldom
for tea. 10 aged people whose powers of
digestion and whose bodily substance have
to fail together, it is almost necessity"

CoxcErr-HardIy ANYTHING is more COL.

CoNcEIT Hardly anything is more coz
temptible than the conceit which rests
merely upon social position on-the couceit of
those who imagine that thus they are d{-
vorced from the clay of common men, Of
those who shrink with horror from the idea
of work, as something which degrades by
its very contact, and vet who, very likely,
owe their present position to some not re
mote ancestor, who recognizing his call to
work, lived more honestly in the world than
they do and was not ashamed OF sOiled
thumbs. 1t is one of the meanest things
for people to be ashamed of the work from
which they draw their income, and, which
elorifcd their ancestors more with their
soiled aprons and black gowns, than them
selves with their fine ribbons and fash Jew
elry. 1t might be fine thing to be like
the lilies, more gloriouSly clothed than
Solomon, and doing nothing, FIVE were only
lllies. Advantageous positions is only
more emphatic call to work; and while
those who hold the advantage may not be
compelled to manual drudgery, they shoul d
recognize the fact that manual drudgery
may be performed in the same spirit as
that which charactcrizes their own work,
and therefore that it Is equally honorable.
