HApoLEoN's LATE PRooLAMA-
TON.

The last mails from Europe, says the
New York Herald of the 2sth, brought
US papers containing the criticisms on
Napoleon's late proclamation from his
captivity in wilhemshohs. The opin-
ions are as numerous as In sentiment
they are diverse. While the London
Times asserts that "the first words OF
the dethroned Emperor's proclamation
condemn it," and charges him with
surrounding himself with laundering
diplomats and inefficient marshals, the
London Post describes the proclama-
ton Us "dignified in tone and appro-
pirate In matter, under circum-
stances which render dignity and
appropriateness most difficult Of
attainment" The London Ddily
Neus considers the proclamation to be
even more striking than its injustice,
and ridicules universal suffrage as un-
derstood by Napoleon, and refers in
strong language to the twenty years
despotism of the captive Emperor. As
If to balance this measure Of severity,
the London Telegraph thinks ait l:
only common justice to recognize the
fact that this manifesto, like every
other utterance Of the Emperor since
his downfall, is manly, dignifed and
high-spirited." And so they goa cu'
from one, while another supplies the
salve to heal the wound inflicted BY
the blow. Alas, poor Louis!

The vaIuo Of . Hosp skirt.

While n young lady and gentleman
were skating on Lake Champlain, the
latter broke through the ice and owed
his preservation to the heroism Of his
fair companion. The manner of the
rescue Is thus described:
She first took off her jacket and dress,
and tying them together, undertook TO
reach him with one end; but 1t Was
too short, rs the yielding Ice warned
her when she moved toward him and
endeavored to throw him one end.
What moro could she do? She hest
tated a moment, then, slipping off her
CATERS, both stockings were soon tied
to the end of the dress and jacket, and
vet 1t was too short. Meantime, the
Young nan was rapidly becoming eS-
hausted, and if she was to save him no
time was to be lost. For a moment
her hands disappeared In the drapery
about her waist, aud then something
fell on the ice about her feet-it was
the hoop skirt. This was quickly sew
cred into half a dozen pieces, and
added to the jacket, dress and stock
ings, and to her great delight this
made the line long enough to reach
him. Bravely she tugged at n end
Of it, while he clutched the other end
with the grip of 4 man who knew that
was all which stood between him and
eternity. In a few minutes she landed
him on the solid Ice, and then the red

DIFFICULT Observation-Disclosures
my, a very difficult surgical operation,
was successfully performed by a ply
sician OF this city on Saturday evening
last, the patient being an infant Of six
teen months, the child of Daniel Muir
ply. Tracheotomy consists of the
making Of an inciSion In the trachea,
or windpipe, for the purpose of plac-
ing therein a tube for respiratory pur-
poses, where the patient finds 1t i'm
possible to breathe. The child In
question had been i'll from intermit-
tent fever. and a physician prescribed
therefor glycerole Of quinine. By an
unfortunate mi stake, the druggist who
put up the prescription took a wrong
jar, containing liquor potassR, which
powerful caustic was given the child.
As q consequence, the entire mouth,
asphagus and bowels were cauterized,
the mouth becoming so swelled that
the operation mentioned became neces-
sary in order that there might be a
possibility of the child's recovery. AS
soon as the terrible mistake was dis.
covered physicians were summoned
and steps taken to n%eutralize, rs far rs
possible, the effect ofthe caustic. The
medical gentlemen hope for the best,
but the recovery Of the infant Is by no
means certain.-SdcrdDieRto Record.

SLEEpEps.-Beds were made to sleep
IN, but some prefer a chair, near a good
hot fire, where they can be lulled to

gives an appetite for a nap. they sleep

the sheep became frightened and
crowded over the brush fence down

mated that Mr.. Worden's loss Will be
