ANBCDoTE OF NAPOLEON I.-Dr.
Baird, III lecture at ST. Louis, related
an amusing anecdote OF Napoleon | and
the ladies who attended his first great re
ception ball at the Tuiileries The old
nobility had departed, and everything
was new. The invited guests were most
iy military officers and their wives. SSne
two thousand ladies were present. W hen
supper time came they OF course took
precedence OF the gentlemen. y ques-
ton arose who had the right to 80 first.
The great dinning room bali was thrown
open, admitting them, and the doors were
then closed, aud the officers of the pal
ace loundlt impossible to open them.
The dispute among the ladies grew
warm. One lady said the right was hers,
as her husband was a great General; but
she soon found that others maintained,
On one ground or the other, that their
claims were greater. Meanwhile the
officers eOuld not get the doors open, and
in consternation one of them fastened
to the First Consul, and asked him how
they should settle the question of prece-
dence oh, says Bonaparte, ''nothlng
is easier; tell them that the eldest as to
go .frs,l'' The officer reported to the
ladies the First Consufs decision, and
Instantly they all fell back This gave
the officers an opportunity to get the
doors open, when, to their astenishment,
none of the ladies were willing to 60 first.
After standing in that position for a
moment, they began to laugh heartily at.
their own folly, aud all marched into
the dining hall without delay.

Tne Cuban Revolution.

Colonel. W c. Squire, one Of the keen
est-sighted officers of the army OF the
Cumberland, arrived from Havana yes
terday, having spent three or four weeks
in Cuba. He says that the government
-hss Ia 900 regulars and 20 600 -gelr'a-
tecrs he saw one review of y ESQ or
1900 volunteers, and during his stay
on the island he witnessed the arrival OF
5000 or 5000 volunteers, mainly from
Catalonia. in Spain. The Spaniards have
5000 Peabody rifles and Is, 600 Reming
tons They have also a contract for
5000 more OF the latter arm. Five
thousand additional troops are expected
from Spain
The patriots have many sympathizers
in Havana, but they dare not show their
hands, at least until the patriots win an
important battle; and should great
battle be won, or should any large con
signment of supplies reach the island,
hosts Of Havanese syrs9athzers with the
revolution would flock TO the standard of
Cespedes.
The insurgents, Colonel Squires says,
seem to be waiting for hot weather and
yellow fever to waste the government
forces hence they are not inclined TO
/ risk general engagement. But the
/ colonel fears that the Cubans may loose
if not soon recognized or materially as
sisted Money aud munitions are need
/ ed but, more than all, the patriots re-
/ quire recognition.

Tne Boarding of the United
Estates steamer Lizzie Major.

Captain Giles, of the schooner Lizzie
Major. publishes an account of the board
ing Of his vessel by Spanish tngate.
He states that the passengers taken from
his vessel had passports in due form,
regularly signed by Gen. Dulee, which
we're recognized by the authorities at
Calbairen. where the schooner touched.
The captain also publishes extracts from
his log, giving an account of the affair,
with the protest made to the officers
boarding his vessel, as follows:
:. Being on the high seas, and out OF
anv Jurisdiction, l protest against any
officer OF any of his men, touching OF
removing any passport or any part OF the
cargo from my vessel sand should any
officer insist upon doing so, the act viii

damage which may arise from such de

state AID to RAILROADS..

The Paducah Kentuckian, Of the 18th
instant, has an article condoling with the
pcople Of Tennessee for the burdensome
debt of $40, 100000, now upon them
$50, 0O0, coo of which is Estate Aid to
Railroads. and another article in the same
paper recommends kentucky to create
similar debt. How, the debt is curse
in Tennessee and to be blessing in Ken
tucky, is not explained. The troubles
in Tennessee proceeding from her rail-
road debt, numerous as they are, should
superinduce a determination upon the
part of Kentucky, to avoid the creation
of similar debt In our opinion, it IS
not wisdom in our people to impose upon
themselves and their posterity, the bur

= AVih ths NhitJ sNIlie my IePuOltcan.
On last Tuesday night the residence
of Mr. Nelson Hurst was burned to the
ground, and four OF his children perish
ed in the flames. Mr. Hurst lived within
a mile and half Of Poplar Plains, in
Fleming county, and, on the night OF
the destruction OF his house, had gone
with his wife to the residence Of his
father, where he had determined to re
main until the morning. His family Of
seven children remained at his home in
the care of his eldest daughter, young
lady about fifteen or sixteen years. At
10 O'Clock, Mr. Hurst saw bright light
in the direction Of his residence, and
fastened toward it as rapidly as was pos
sible. He had more than mile to travel
before he reached it, and when he arrived
at the scene it was too late to render any
assistance -Four of his children had met
death in the terrible fire, and the three
survivors were standing helpless and
nearly naked in the yard. One little boy
of twelve years had exhibited wonderful
daring and self possession. When he
was reused by the FIRE he ran to the as
sistance of the younger children, of
whom he saved three, and he was engag-
u in drawing the fourth from the flames
when he was destroyed by the fall of the
burning roof Such hsfoisin as WAS ex-
hihited by this brave child hss rarely

killed Harrison in month, it killed Tay-
lor in three months, and destroyed the
physical health of every subsequent in
cumbent. General Grant has already
broken down twice under its fatigues,
and yet the work is scarcely commenced
Curious would it be, if the whole Amer
lean four years system of government
should fail from hygienic causes, and yet
it is not unlikely. From accounts at
hand, we can readily believe that the
President, ut times, would accept the
dungeon of jefferson Davis, in prefer
ence to the thornstuffed chair OF State.

Il hhE Il some curiosity abToau 70
know why the President treated Senator
Ross 50 coOIIy when Soss called to pro-
test against the appointment of Babcoek
as Surveyor General of Kansas, and to
remind the President that atSenator Pome-
roy and Representative Clark had no
right to control all the appointments
made for that State. The ex explanation is
an easy one. During the impeachment
trial there was some doubt as to how
Ross would vote, and General Grant was
sent by the impeachers to @take him out
and talk to HIM" This Grant did, and
returned to the rascals with the intelli-
gence that Ross was all right--that be
would vote for conviction That night
an anti-impeacber had a talk with Ross,
and the result was he voted against con-
yiction, aud Grant has never forgiven
him forit.

FoR the first fine in our national his
tory the census is to be taken without
making new appOrtionment of repre-
sentation upon its basis. This decision
has been brought about by New England
wire pulling, Upon the old basis, she
would have lost seven members, which
the West would have gained, besides
twenty eight others. So that during the
next ten years both her Senatorial and
Congressional influence will be almost in
double ratio TO her population, when
compared with other States. How long
the American people contemplate sub
mitting to this usurpation sremains to be
