CARRYING BUNDLEs.-Many people
have contemplate fear of being seen
to carry a bundle, however small,
having the absurd idea that there is a
social degradation in the act. The
most trihing as well as weighty pack
ages must be sent to them, no matter
how much to the Inconvenience of
others. This arises from low kind
of pride. There is q pride that is
higher, that arises from conscious
ness Of there being something in the
individual not to be affected by such
accidents, worthy the weight of ehar-
acter. This latter pride was exhibited
by the American son Of Jerome Na-
poleon Bonaparte. While be was at
college ut Cambridge he was one day
carrying to his room broom which
he had just purchased, when he met
o friend, who, noticing the broom
with surprise, exclaimed:
Why did you not have it sent
home 7"
"I am not ashamed to carry home
anything which belongs to me-" was
the very sensible reply OF Young 30
naparte.
Very different pride was this from
that Of a yotg lady whom we know
who always gave her mother all th'
bundlea TO carry Khen they vent on
together because she thought It vulga
TO be sosn with one herself. 81

Sir: Yours of the 4th instant only
is to hand. Touching one barrel of
sorghum mush sugar, shipped South
to W. P. Passmorc, allow me to say,
it was raised from the black imphee

tember, and while the seed was vet i'm
the milk ; manufactured by the Wei
lcr & Hatcher process, and made
about two months previous to being
sent forward. Crystalization was Sc
cured by being properly made upon
the Weller & Hatcher process, which
set in from five to ten days after be-
ing made into syrup, and was in a
high state of granulation when bar
relied and shipped, should think from
six to seven pounds to the gallon.

A Celebrity in Edgeaeld-0ld John
Browns Rght-haad Man.

Little, probably, do tho good gentle
folk Of Edgcfield dream of tho extent
to which their fortunate county has
been honored in tho recent change of
internal revenue officials in that divis-
ion of the third collection district.
We are told that the new appointee
as Assistant Assessor is q "Mr. r.
Rcalf, an Englishnan," and our Edge
field contemporary evidently ignorant
of it's special bliss, induIges in lauda-
tory regrets over the removal of tho
late incumbent and has no word of
cheer or welcome for the stranger
who takes his place.
We know something of Mr.. Richard
Isealf, and hasten to introduce him to
our readers. Englishman, indeed, he
is; but it was on the sacred soil of
the Old Dominion, and in prominent
connection with one of the most cxcit-
ing events in tho annals Of that re-
nownod commonwealth, that he first
became known to fame. 1t is now
more than ten years since the country
was startled by the tidinss that Old
John Brown, with few desperate
followers, had made himself master of
the United States armory at Harper's
Ferry aud madly raised the standard
Of servile revolt. Had the blow thus
80 boldly struck been followed by the
chain of anticipated results, it was
Browns dream of power to have
established great Black Republic, of
which he himself was to be Mt once
the creator aud the dictator. Rcalf,
ut that time the shrewdest and most
active as well as the youngest member
Of Browns gang, had been formally
singled out US the Secretary of State,
i'll the organization of the projected
government. We all know how the
crazy scheme was throttlcd at it's
birth how the ungrateful blacks
failed to rally at the call Of their
Quixotic deliverer; and how, after a
fair trial before jury of Virgiuians,
the miserable old fanatic, who perhaps
was less guilty than most of his fel-
lows, expiated his aud their crime
upon tho gibbet. Realf who was be-
iieved by many to have be N the rul-
ing spirit Of the raid, was cunning
enough to escape all serious conse-
quences. OF his subsequent career

now as hero hobnobbing with the
Abolitionists of the North now as
o non-sommissioned officer in the
United States army at Fort Pickens i;
now al an ofice-seeker bashfully urg-
ing his claims as a loyalist and a sold
ier at Washington ; and lastly ss an
Assessor Of tho Internal Revenue in
the good old District of Edgcfield
South Carolina. The days of chivaliy
indeed are gone, since Richard Realf,
while the soul of his gaunt and grisly
chief is still "marching on" in tri-
umph, abandons the quest of glory
or the quest of greenbacks.-Edgefsld,

The French Imperial Family.

Tho Paris correspondent of tho
Chicago Tribune writes:
Tho Emperor, Empress and Prince
Imperial, now that the weather is fine,
drive out nearly every day along the
Champs EIysecs and the Bois. Fa-
mliar Us their appearance is to the
public, tho streets are always lined
when i: is known they are to pass.
Tho Prince is Nh intelligent and in
tcresting looking little fellow, with an
expression of sadness in his face that
may be the herald Of his coming
doom. lie is in better health than
he has been, but is still suffering from
bodily inirmitics. His mother dotes
on him. Ono Gun sec her heart is
centred in her only son, folshcr eyes
arc always on him.
Louis Napoleon may bo dying of
tho forty or fifty mortal diseases with
which the newspapers are constantly
supplying him ; but, Judging by his
appearance, they don't hurt him much.
He is very commonplace in scmb-
lance his eye dull and his face per-
tectly impassive. lie might we'll be
mistaken for Hebrew clothcs-dealer
of long experience, who, having
turned his attention to governing a
great country, had resolved to make
his Intentions inScrutable. He re-
minds You Of one of Cham's curica-
lures, with his broad shoulders and
great body, and bis short, little legs

the weight that has been 80 unnatu-

lieve he ia unpopular with the French
people, who are bound to have GER
tain amount of political discomfort,
whether Napoleon or Nero reigns
over them. Louis may be a supreme
esotist, but he loves France; has cer-
tai. .ly done much for his country and
for Paris. lie has made this the most
attractive city in the world. BE

is repairing them by artificial means.
She ia not SO pretty as she has been,
but she is very elegant and distinsur
in her manner and entourage. Her
face sometimes seems insipid, but it
lights up when she il moved, as if her
heart had caught FIRE. Her mouth
and chin are beautiful, and in her
deep eye are unfathomable emotions.
She has tragedy and comedy in her
nature, and is capable of heroic
things, 1 am confident. She will do
them, believe, if the occasion comes
to her and live in the future history
Of France with Joan dare, Charlotte
Corday, and Madame Roland. Eu-
genie is much loved by the people,
though the scandal is still kept up
that her husband is not the father OF
her child. They may like her all the
better for that possibility. They
would be most unjust not to forgive
in her what they are forced to con-
done themselves. She is much altered
from che was. She has gone through
the three stages of French woman
hood-gallantry, learning and devo
ton. As the Countess de Teba, she
was decidedly fast. After marriage
she grew to be o bus bleu, though
little was said of it. Now she is ex
tremely religious, and daily becoming
more SO.
