NapOieOn's Efforts to Rush Into
Print.

Some curious facts have recently be-
come known in regard to Louis NapO-
Icons Idees Nap~oleoaieanes. When he
had completed the work, he was for some
time unable to find a publisher for it
not because the booksellers were afraid
to issue the book, but because the Prince
was so generally looked upon as half
crazy that nobody cared what he wrote,
said, or did. The publishers at Brus-
sells, to whom he successfully sent the
manuscript, returned it with a few lines
which were couched in almost disrespect-
full language. When the book was finally
accepted by a publisher, the latter agreed
to issue it only on the condition hat the
author must furnish him with ample
security against the losses which he felt
convinced he would certainly sustain in
consequence Of the publication of the
book. An English no5leman furnished
the necessary security. 1t is well known
that a shout of derision arose, especially
in France, when the book made its
appearance. There were only a few
liberal journals which spoke in respect
full terms oft. The bulk of the French
press said it was beneath notice, and
treated it as if it had been written by a
mailman.

FINANCE.
The general markets were not alone
dull today. Finances also partook of
the prevailing i~nertis, and ia answer to
our inquiries, we recsived but the single
answer, livery quiet" There is some
difference in the ideas of our dealers in
reference to exchange, some claiming
that it is not in much demand, while
others report otherwise. The supply is
equal, however, to the call, though, rs
usual, hen not making literally, lie not
evenly distributed. Rates are steady at

selling at 10 premium New Orleans

In City or other bonds we have really
no animation to report. Buyers would
take hold, were they on the market, but,
50 far as we can lssrn, holders show no
disposition to part with what they have.

not much upon the market, except such

THE CROPS.

The Transcript. o! Dandanelle, Ark

port OF the wheat crop. We were con.
versing the other day with a gentleman
from Scott county, who informs US chat

people Of the old States only knew what
q foe, healthy, seductive region Scott
county is, hundreds would fl lck thither
this fill. We should also mention in
this connection, that the wheat crop in
Yell and Pope are very nromising.u
The Albany GA NeWs says After

planters have ut ia about fyriy per cent.

The Trenton Tenn.) Gazette says:
We are pleased to learn that our fruit
crop has escaped the recent fros,s with
but slight injuries. The weather for sew.
eral days has been delightfully."- pleasant,
and our farmers are making hay while
the sun Shines The wheat crop is very
promising"
Since the above was written, however,
heavy frosts have visited that section,

tinues cold and Unreasonable, with coca

Judgments Of women.

An eminent minister of the church,
once made this fine observation We
will say nothing of the way in which
that sex usually conduct arguments but
in intuitive judgments of women are
often more TO be relied upon than con-
illusions which We reach by an elaborate
process of reasoning. No man that mas
an intelligent wife, or is accustomed to
the society Of educated women, will dis
pute this. Times without number you
must have known them to decide ques-
tons on the instant, and with unerring
accuracy, which you had been porting
over for hours, perhaps with no result
than to find yourself getting deeper and
deeper into the tangled maze of Difficult
ties. 1t were hardly generous to allege
that they achieved these feats less by
reasoning than a sort of sagacity that
approximates to the sure instincts of the
animal races and yet there seems to be
some ground for the remark of a witty
French writer, that when a man has
toiled, step by step up fight Of stairs, he
will be sure to find a at the top /;
but she will not be able to tell how she
got there. How she got there, however,
is of little moment. If the conclusions
a woman has reached are sound, that is
all that concerns US. And hat they are
very apt to be sound on the practical
matters of domestic and secular life,
nothing but prejudice and self-conceit
can prevent us from acknowledging.
The inference, therefore, is unavoidable,
that the man who thinks it beneath his
dignity to take counsel with an intelii-
gent wife, stands in his own light, and
betrays that lack of judgment which he
tacitly attributes to her.

not near friends who are apt to wound,

For instance Meta Trip came in

Meta caught me in the parlor, and there

Besides, l suppose most young women
