Napoleon.

Whatever errors Napoleon has COM
mitted in his time, his death at pres
ent would beiai ~deplorable event for
France and Europe. Every year OF
his experience makes him more averse
to plunging into war-and peace is
almost the greatest boon that any ma
ton can enjoy. With increasing age
he shows increasing desire to broaden
the constitutional liberties of France,
his real aim seeming to be to give the
French people every rsedom compat-
ible with the permanency of the en-
pire and his dynasty; as, provided for
by the law of 1852. Firmly beliey7
ing that an empire is the only form OF
government suited to France, and that
his family is the only one that the
French people wish to see upon the
Throne, he considers himself morally
bound to preserve the empire and the
Napoleonic dynasty by almost any
means against the assaults of a dissat-
isfied minority. 1t is easy to carp at
him but hard to show hoY-she4 could
have secured these So6ectsa by any
| other policv-than~that he has adopted.
Should he live tits probable that he
will do much more for French liberty,
Should he die, who can say what will
happen?1 Either the Prince Imperial
! will succeed him successfully, with
the Empress as regent, in which case
there will be wanting a vigorous di.
recting mind, and the empire will be
swept by a revolution, and a temper,
airy republic will be established, to be
followed possibly by a monarchy

He has some strange ideas with re-
gard to the heavenly bodies.
9aThe heat and light of the stars" he
says, 'sare evolved from the friction Of
their bodies against the air; for mo-
ton naturally produces heat, even in
wood and stones; and still more must
this be the ase with bodies, which are
nearer to fire.; and air is nearer to
fire, as may be concluded from the
heat of arrows, which become so heat
ed that sometimes their lead is melted;
and when they are heated the air sur
rounding them must be heated also
Motion through the air generates heat.
Of the heavenly bodies, each is moved
in its own circle, so that it does not
become hot, the air surrounding it is
made hot, and there hottest where the
sun is. We must conclude, therefore,
that the stars are neither made OF fire
N. r moved in fire." -

have been SO ignorant of the structure

Ory Tho Mcthc1ist Conference. now

OF The Methodist Conference, now in
session at Finday, Ohio, has done wise
and proper thing in emitting from the
list Of its standing committees the usual
one Of '',lc state of the country" We
wish other Conferences would do like
wise. We can not help thinking that il
thcro never had been a "co,nmittc on the
state of the country" in any religious as
sembly. the state Of the country would
be much better to-day than il really is
II the churches and preachers. North and
South. had given less attention to this
particular topic ninc ten years ago. the
war might not. and probably would not,
have occurred. We do s,y this in Il par
tisan sense. for we blame both sections
alike. Impartial history will yet show
that much OF the bitterness which cul-
minated in slaughter Of and desolation
had its origin among men whose mission
il was TO preach peace and good will.
This is a harsh truth but not the less
n truth because it is harsh. So let us
have 10 more "comrHittecs OH the state
of the country" in the Conferences.
