tn. Last Days Of Napoleon at wIrhsln.hoh..

The Last Days ef Napoleon at Wifhelmsh0he. o.
On another page Of the HERALD this morn
ing we publish the result of an interview
between the ex-Emperor of France, Napoleon
Ill, and the HERALD correspondent stationed
at Wilhelmshohe. The interview is most inter-
esting, inasmuch as it shows that Napoleon is
not going to repose quietly under the disasters
which the last twelve months have crowded
upon him. He expresses much sympathy for
unhappy France, and feels grieved to see her
torn and distorted by the disorders which now
reign within her. Napoleon repeats what he
has on more than one occasion before ex-
pressed, that the National Assembly of France
as constituted at present is not fair exponent
Of the will of the people. M. Theirs, who is stig-
matized as shrewd old wirepuler, he considers
fully understands this; and Theirs is prepared
at any moment, according to the ex- -Emperor's
way of thinking, to change sides and exchange
republic for a monarchy. AS an evidence
Of the unfairness in which the elections were
carried out Napoleon cites the names of many
distinguished Frenchmen who were driven
from France by reason of the terrorism which
prevailed. Thiy terrorism was inaugurated
and fostered by the Gambe.ta republicans and
prevailed all over France. Among the names
of those who were forced to fee the country
we see mentioned NM paraguay dHiliers,
Jerome David, Rouher, Drouyn de Lhuys,
FORBADE de la Roquette and Schneider. ''The
insensate decree of Gambetta excluded
from eligibility all who had served under
former governments or been proposed only
as candidates" But while his ex-Ma-
jesty shows why so few imperialists
were returned to the Assembly he is silent in
accounting for the remarkably large number
of monarchists returned to represent the
people, This point was not touched on but,
no doubt he has satisfied himself on that ques-
ton if he has not spoken of it. Speaking
further on the election, Napoleon said that
Representative elections in France hardly
ever resulted in what should be expected--ex-
preston Of the real public opinion. always
had" he continued, ''tO look away from the
representatives if I wanted to find out the
will Of the nation" These expressions show
conclusively that his faith i'm 7sf6iscites is still
unshaken, and direct appeals to the people are
weapons in which he has every confidence.
Napoleon speaks bitterly Of the men he ele-
waited to position, power and wealth, who, in
his misfortunes, forsook him and turned their
backs upon him. Some idea may be formed
of Napoleons intentions in the future, when he
says that he does not intend to retire into
private life, and that henceforth his ''etforts
shall be increasingly directed against the
rebels who have conspired for the ruin of
France" President Grants ''cornucopia of
panegyric oven the monarchico- federal system
Of New Germany" he regards as an American
expression of expectation of ''the early col
lapse of our pseudo republic"

The Campaign In Connecticut = senator
Buckingham's Ideas About II, LAcluding
Sc. Domingo.
The democrats Of Connecticut, jubilant over
the late unexpected and refreshiSy democratic
victory in New Hampshire, have high hopes of
another clean congressman, State
ticket and Legislature are working with
will to effect it. Ex-Governor Buckingham,
however, now q. republican member Of the
United States Senate, is hopeful that the gen.
eral results Of the election will show that the
republicans of Connecticut are wide awake
and are not demoralized. He says that the
New Hampshire disaster, instead of demoral-
izing them, has set them to work that the
party canvass of the State ticket is exceedingly
satisfactory; that, at the very best, the demo-
Gratis can elect but two congressman, while
down to two years ago they had three Of the
four districts into. which the State is divided.
As to the State Legislature, he thinks the
republicans will have two majority in the
Senate and at least fifteen majority in the
House.
The Senator says, furthermore, that s'the
St. Domingo question is brought up daily,
but, so far as can. learn, the people take no
sort of interest in it" that everybody seems
to be opposed to annexation" and that 'Sas
all our Representatives in Congress are
opposed to it no issue can be made, and the
democrats in Washington are discussing it. !"
SAIL our Representatives in Congress are
opposed to it," while in Connecticut s1every-
body seems to be opposed to annexation" :"
These statements from Senator Buckingham
are very important. His opinions as to the
probable results of the election may or may
not be verified. We are inclined to think that
the odds are against him but, one way or the
other, the election, a few days hence, will set
tie the question. But If all the representa-
tives in both houses of Congress from
Connecticut and all the people in
the State are opposed to the St.
Domingo annexation scheme, what becomes of
General Granta ''Honest Old Ben Wade's"

| ports, when the President is ready, will be

the administration; but what will all this
signify if the prevailing sentiment in Congress
is against this st. Domingo saheme? General
Grant has intimated that he does not care to
push it at this session but wOuld it not be as
well to postpone 1t indefinitely? Meantime
Senator Buckingham will have tough job
before him in answering the latest St.

cratic ammunition in Connecticut.

Secretary Robson and Captain TeDpbO.
Secretary Robson has written letter to
Rear Admiral Lee, commanding the North
Atlantic squadron, inquiring as to the authen-
ticity of the letter attributed to Captain Ten.
pie, of the Tennessee, in which that GENTLE
man warned the officers of the st. Domingo
Commission and the correspondents accom-
panying it against going overland through
Hayti or St. Domingo. as they were liable to
be treated as spies if captured by the Haytien
government or by the st. Domingo insurgents,
and would, in reality, be spies. The Seere-
tary takes occasion to say that they were
not liable to such treatment, and
would not have been spies, az
the United States is at perfect peace with both
Hayti and st. Domingo, and further intimates
that Captain Temple, in writing such a note,
if he did write it, exceeded his instructions.
We have very little doubt that Captain Temple
did write the letter. 1t smacked of the hearty
generosity Of that gentleman, and was a model
of plain, salcr-like bluntness in giving good
advice. As to the authenticity of it we think
there can be no doubt, and as to the truth
contained in it we think it highly probable that
some of the gentlemen on that expedition owe
their present safety to having followed it's
recommendations, and the United States has to
additional complication. If he was exceeding
instructions in the matter he exhibited great
discretion in so exceeding them.

The Paris Elections.

Oar news of this morning shows that the
elections which have just taken place in Paris
have resulted in favor of the communists The
mob has triumphed; but how could it be
otherwise? The French people are so sensi-
tive to the dominant influences of the moment
tina! want of fixedness of purpose is about the
only thing French elections teach us. So long
as Napoleon remained in Paris every fresh
election-and he could not possibly have in
jured himself by multiplying their number
only proved how strong he was. He might
have had one every month, and each
monthly election would have encouraged him
to 60 on as the unquestioned chief of the
French nation. Sedan made Napoleon q
prisoner; and the French people did all they
could to make themselves ridiculous by en-
dorsing the policy of an upstart government.
The upstart government failed, and France
gave for once in many years really sensible
vote, which made the present National
Assembly and the government Of M. Theirs.
The roughs of Paris have risen against the
government, despsed the voice of France,
ordered new elections, controlled them, made
them serve their purpose; and the world is
asked to look on and admire the wisdom of
what is called in Paris popular election.
Popular election has always heen with us the
best possible means Of testing the community
and of arriving at a satisfactory issue, al
though we have never forgotten that the oor
pop,H on one occasion cried out for the blood
of Jesus of Nazareth but if popular election,
as we now see it in Paris, Is to give the world
nothing better than perpetual revolution, we
shall not be sorry to see it consigned to the
tomb of all the Capulets In word if the
voice Of France is to be ignored by the will
Of Paris mOb-the men of the gutter-and
If the hope Of France is to centre in a charla-
tan like Garibaldi, we have only to
say we are done with France and almost
done with popular election. Let New
Workers., let the American people, think of
1t. II, after every election, it was in the
power Of the dissatisfied to order new cleo
tion and to impest at the same time foreign
general to keep order, how should we like it?
If in 1872 General Grant should not be the
favorite candidate at the ballot box, and the
authorities in Washington should order fresh
election, and should at the same time import
some prominent foreigner to secure order in
the crisis, would not the American people
become the laughing stock of the world? The
can never be possibility. The
American people are made of different stuff.
But the supposition explains the condition 0
who seek to impose upon their own nation and
people all the horrors and sorrows of anarchy
in addition to all the horrors and sorrows of
crushing national defeat. Pity it is that
France should be killed by her own children.

Why Workingmen Leave England.


Morris Phillips, ESQ, of the Home
journal, writing from England, men
tions the following:
"lu the railroad station at Holybead,
on the Welsh coast, | was witness to a
scene painful to any one who believes
all men are born free and equal. The
mail service, between Dublin and Lon
den, only carries first and second class
passengers. One of the splendid sea-
going boats that cross the Irish camel
took us safely, and, strange to say,
pleasantly to HGlyhead, where the
train is made up for London. 1t was
Sunday, and only the 6rst.class re-
freshmcnt room was open. Into this
nearly all the passengers hurried for
sandwich, cup Of coffee, or glass of
wine, for we had started on our jour.
ney at six A. NJ. it was then eleven
o'clock and we should not stop any
where for refreshments until we reach
ed the magnificent station and pretty
town of Crewe, at two p. NJ. Among
us there were three respectable-louking
but poorly.clad members of the work.
ing classes, who stepped up to the bar,
asked politely for a glass of ale, and
met with fiat refusal. The pert and
pretty barmaid answered that she
would be pleased to serve them, but it
was against the rules to deliver any
thing TO workingmen: They expostu-
lated with her; then applied to the
proprietor of the restaurant; remark
ed that they were hungry and thirsty;
said the third-clas reireshment-room
was not open,' and asked if their
money was not as good other people's?'
But argument was unavailing. The
barmaid was polite but firm; her ern-
ployer supported her, and the working
men left the saloon unre greshed and
detected. Here were three honest
looking, sober, well-behaved men, re
fused meat and drink because they
we're not arrayed in purple and fine
linen. An American present proposed
to obtain and convey to the men out
side the refreshment-room some ale
and sandwiches but before the excel
lent idea could he carried out, the
whistle warned MS to take our seats in
the Carriages"

The Chime Of Bells.

Rev. Dr. Adams, in his beautiful
hook on Thanksgiving Memories"
gives US the following incident: in
the Cathedral of Limerick there hangs
chime of bells which was cast in TIA.
u by an enthusiast in his trade, who
fixed his home near the monastery
where they were first hung, that he
might daily enjoy their sweet and sol
emn music. In some political revolu-
ton the bells we're taken away to a
distant land, and their maker himself
became refugee and exile. His wan.
derings brought him, after many years,
to Ireland. On calm and beautiful
evening, as the vessel which bore him
foated on the placid bosom of the
shannon, suddenly the evening chimes
pealed from the cathedral towers. His
practiced ear caught the sweet sound,
and he knew his lost treasu ers were
found. His early home, his old friends,
his beloved native land, all the best
associations of his life were in those
sounds. He laid himself back in the
boat, crossed his arms across his breast,
and listened to the music. The boat
reached the wharf, but still he lay
there, silent and motionless. They
spoke to him, but he did not answer.
They went to him, but his spirit had
fled. The tide of memories that came
vibrating through his heart at that
well-kpOwn chime, had snapped its
strings!"
And SO, sometimes, in after life,
when the feet of wayward man have
strayed far away from the home of his
youth, and his heart has wandered far
from his fathers God, some memory
of the past, like the sweet, sad melody
of the evening chime, may wake long
slumbering echoes and stir long-sealed
fountains; and fathers counsels and
n mothers prayers will come up again
from the sacred burial places of the
past. with wondrous power to melt and
win the wayward heart.

America, whose great novel struck
chord of universal sympathy through
out the civilized world, has habits of
composition peculiarly her own, ana
unlike those belonging to any author
of whom we have record. She croons,
so to speak, over her writings, and it
makes very little difference to her
whether there is crowd of people
about her or whether she is alone dur
ing the composition of her books.

"WHIsKEY HAS USED HIM UP."--
There is scarcely Community or
neie sbor5nod from Maine to Oregon
where this saying is not used almost
every day in the gear, and altogether
too truly. A subject OF this kiHd is
to be found in almost every town. The
merchant has failed aud whiskey has
done it. The lawyer with brilliant
talent and a large business has fallen
below the range of respectability and
confidence; whiskey was the cause.
The politician with bright prospects
before him has played out, and the
account is charged 10 whiskey. The
judge of talent, aye and respectability
is the subject of private and neighbnr-
hood talk. His enemies point with
derision, and his friends hang their
heads in shame, and whiskey has done
il. That kind hearted and hard work
ing man has become a pest in society
and trouble to his family; vhiskey has
beat him, Whiskey will beat any
man living, and that is just what it is
made for.

There is but little doubt that within a

and it is not probable that a sufficient
substitute will ever be found to occupy
its place in the industries of mankind.
