LOUIS NAPOLEON ExpLA1Ns.-The
following letter addressed to Sir
Johu Burgoyne, was published in the
English papers of the 1lth instant:
W11HELMsHoHE, October 90, 1870.
lfy Dear SIR John Il have re-
ceived your letter, which has given
me great pleasure-irst, that it is a
touching proof of your sympathy for
me, and also because your rame re-
calls the happy and glorious time
| when our armies fou It together for
the same cause. You, who are the
Moltke of England, will have under
| stood that our disasters arose from
the fact that the Prussians were
| ready sooner than we, and that, so
tospeak, they surprised sin a shame
full state of disorganiztion.
The offensive having become impos-
| sible, 1 resolved to put myself on the
! defensive; but, hindered by political
| considerations, a retreat was retarded
! and soon became impossible. Return.
| ling to Chalons. had wished to lead
the last army that remained to US to
Paris but again political considera-
tons forced us to make that most
imprudent and little strategical march
which ended by the disaster of Sc
dan. See in few words the unhap-
py campaign of 1870. l think it
right to offer you these explanations,
| because l wish to retain your esteem.
In thanking you for your kind re-
membrance, I renew to you the as
| surance Of my warmest regards.
| NAPOLEON.

We have a strange story Of a
miracle in St. Louis, which we are
rather anxious about. Three physi-
clans, over their own names, aver
that they had given up the case Of a
young German girl suffering from a
liver disease as hopeless, and had
left her to die. She was a Catholic,
and the priest was called in and ad-
ministered the last rites of the
church. Her death was momentarily
expected, when she fell into gentle
slumber. She awoke from it in the
morning perfectly we'll, and walked
forth as strong as she had ever been
before. The physicians who had
been attending were sent for, and
after an examination pronounced her
to be in the enjoyment of full health.
Her story is, that on the night in
question, after she had been given up
and received the last sacrament, the
Virgin Mary appeared to her in a
vision and asked her if she desired tc
live, assuring her that if she would
devote her life to the service Of the
church she should be made whole.
She made solemn promise that she
| would do so after the death of her
mother. The Virgin then disappear
ed, and when she awoke she was
strong and we'll.

A Brave Man.

Marshal Mcmahon. Duke of Ma
genta, has just done what no other
officertn all France cared or dared to
do; he has fully, freely and frankly
.vindieated the honor of Napoleon
I'LL. The world knew before That
Marshal Mcmahon was heroic to-day
he is regarded as the most chivalrous
man in Europe. What Duclot failed
toFdo ), what the newspapers failed to
do; what all the other marshals and
generals failed to do, McMahon has
done in his blunt soldierly way.
American readers have not forgotten
yet the peculiar features of that un-
accountable campaign which culmina-
ted at Sedan, and which cost the EN-
peror his Empire and his throne. He
alone of all men received the blame,
and went away into exile preserving
a silence, which, while it,was sorrow
full and dignifed, in no manner SEEM :

Culture of Bulbs.

You who havenever tried this kind
of Horticulture SHOULD by all means
invest small sum in some of our
most beautiful varieties of flowers.
Florists are now offering these bulbs
so cheaply that any one who can at
ford to spend anything for flowers
can certainly we'll afford these. A
dollars worth Of tulip bulbs will do
for start; once planted according to
directions they will increase rapidly,
nat only by bulb, but with little
care the seeds may also be propa'
gated.
Lilies in endless varieties can also
be we'll afforded ; these as we'll as tu-
lips require little care and will SC
richly repay the cultivator that
consider them indispensable o
flower yard; garden or bed. They
raise their stalks of bloom with
majesty and glory no other flower
can assume, at the same time hold u
spell bound by their perfume. Th'
white lily is emblematic of all that il
pure and lovely.
Hyacinths too are valu BILE; grown
carefully in pots they will afford beau
tiful flowers for the sitting room du
ring winters coldest months, and il
beds or borders are very fine. Al
the common varieties of bulbou
plants can be easily grown by tn
inexperienced. I always like to watc
the success Of others before investin
in new and highly priced varieties

my had been understood by the peo-.
Pile. Gen.. iWimpffen, the signer of
the terms Of capitulation, should cer-'
tainly have known better when he.
declared that the Emperor prevented
a sortie which might shave preserved
the bulk of the army, and com
manded an unconditional surrender.
Mcmahon, however, tells the whole
truth. In his testimony before the
committee on the conduct of the war;
he declares on his oath that he alone
is responsible to the country for the
march from Chalons to Sedan; that
lbyshis orders alone the army march
Fed; that Che Emperor in no way
whatever interferei with his plans,
| or those of the other commanders
shat from the first he, McMahon, had
been left free to manage the armyiin
his own way-the most the Emperor
ever attempting to do consisted OF
suggestions and recommendations
| THAT he always received the Empe-
ror's cordial support; and that during
his entire connection with the army
he was actuated by but one motive
! that of devotion to France at the sac
rifce of everything else-his throne
his family, the hopes of his dynasty
and his own personal safety. Fhe
Marshal continues by saying that hi
army deceived him. He thought il
could make eighteen miles a day
while it only made ten, and that tf
this cause alone should the disaster
| be attributed. Had it b. en- other
wise, and had he succeeded in obtain
ing such marching results as he hat
a right to expect, a junction woult
have been made with Bazaine ant
the issue might have been different
This statement of McMahon ha
made profoundim dimpressionin France
1t was at first attempted to suppress
its full force by the complete silenc
of the newspapers but the arm,
took it up and cast it forth broadcast
commenting upon it in every CARR
son, and expressing open and undis
guised sympathy for the fallen EN-
peror. Especially was this the case j
The ranks of the Imperial Guare
who toasted McMahon for his genel
osity, and declared with rather NOR
emphasis than discretion that on
empire was better than forty reput
lies. Certainly the Marshal has don
the Bonaparte family no BARN b
{ this frank avowal of his, and hs
! ! greatly increased the admiration
j all for his own honorable and unse

Jprratitude 10 Parents,

There is q proverb that "a father
can more easily maintain six chill
dren, than six children one father. +"
Luther relates this story:
There was once father who gave
up everything to his children-his
house, his fields and goods-and ex-
pected that for this his children
would support him. But after he
had been some time with his son, the
latter grew tired of him, Father, l
have had son born to me this
night, and here, where your arm
chair stands, the cradle must come
will you not, perhaps, go to my broth
er, who has larger room ?"
After he had been some time with
the second son, he also grew tired OF
him, and said, Father, you like a
warm room, and that hurts my head.
Won't you go to my brother the ba-
ker?" The father went and after he
hid been some time with the third
son, he also found him troublesome,
ind said to him, Father, the people
run in and out here all day, as if it
were a pigeon-house, and you cannot
have your MONDAY sleep; would
you not be better off at my sister
Koto's near the town wall p
The old man remarked how the
wind blew, and said to himself,
Yes, will do so; I will go and
try it with my daughter. Women
have softer hearts. But after he
had spent some time with his daugh-
ter, she grew weary of him, and said
she was always Sc fearful when her
father went to church or anywhere
else, and was obliged to descend the
steep stairs, and at her sister Eliza
beth's there were no stairs to descend,
as she lived on the ground floor.
For the sake of peace the old man
assented, and went to his other
daughter. But after some time she
too was tired Of him, and told him by
a third person that her house near
the water was too damp for man
who suffered with gout, and her sis
ter. the grave-digge s wife, at St.
Johns, Lad much drier lodgings.
The old man himself thought she
was right, and went outside the gate
to his youngest daughter, Helen.
But after he had been three days
with her, her little son said to his
grandfather, Mother said yester-
day to cousin Elizabeth that there
was no better chamber for you tl:an
such one as father digs" These
words broke the old mans heart, so
that he sank back in his chair and
Iled.
