At the earnest request Of the Russian
Emperor, Louise paid a second visit to
Napoleon-Unsuccessful as the first.
AS, at the conclusion of this visit, Ma
polron was conducting her down stairs,
the Queen paused, and, pressing the En-
peruT's hand as he bade her farewell, said:
"Is it possible that after having the good
fortune to be so near the hero Of the age
be has not left me satisfaction OF being
able to say he has attached me 10 him for
life - t,t

lament if it is SO, it is the effect of my
evil destiny"
The royal pair returned 10 Memel their
only refuge upon Prussian soil. "Let US
be patient and steady, aud wait, and God
will help u.s." said the pious King greater
even in bis humiliation and weakness
than the atheistic Frederick.
In her retirement at Memel the Queen
/ devoted herself TO the education OF her
children, six iE number. The Crown
Prince, Frederick William, was then
twelvy years of age aud boy of much
promise. She thought TO animate him
With her own patriotic spirit and love of
country. ''You SEE me Weep" she said to
him alter the battle of jena. 81 weep
for the downfall of my house aud country
Recall these unhappy hours when 1 am
NO more, and weep for my country, But
do not be satisfied with tears; act, de-
velop your strength. Perhaps you may
be destined to deliver your country. DO
not let yourself be carried away by the
degrneracy of the age. Be man Court
the fame of General, of a hero if you
cannot raise your fallen country, then seek
death, as Prince Louise Ferdinand has
done !"
This son lived to see his country great
among The nations of the earth, but to the
secopd son, William, it has been given to
repay with the interest, the ignominy
heaped upon Prussia by NapoleOn-to
avenge the wrongs of Germany's loveliest
and best beloved but most unhappy

THE CRUISE OF THE LNcoLN.-Last
Wednesday evening the Revenue Gutter
Lincoln, with Capt. Tuttle, U. S. Agent
for the, land Office of this territory, on
board, left here to cruise along Hoods
Canal and Port Susan. She returned on
Sunday. and during the time she was gone
Capt. Tuitle seized some 100000 feet Of

understand that it is usual with the Gov
eminent to sell logs, so obtained, at auc-
tion.
The famine in Persia is said to be of a
most alarming character. Deaths number
5000 daily and so great is the distress
that dead bodies are eaten by the sur.
vivors, and in some cases men, women
and children are killed to render the sup
ply more abundant. The plague has also
appeared among the Psrsians and the
Turkish Government is compelled to
draw a sanitary Gordon along the border.

ALLEGED RoBBERY.-Yesterday morn
ing a court was held at the Court House
before Justice Fortman, of Chimacum
Precinct on q warrant sworn out by one
Maud Stewart, charging Daugheriy with
assault, and foreibly taking from her some-
thing over $500 worth of jewelry, con-
sisting Of pair of bracelets, valued at
$sS, watch and chain, at $3.50, a dia-
mOnd ring at $3.50, and pin at $40. On
coming before the magistrate. Daugh-
criy took the case in hand, and COM
1nenced TRADE about the "thieves" and
-'beach- and after considerable
cross firing between the prOsecutrix, the
''prisoner," snd some one in the audience,
Daugherty was bound over on his OtCn re-
.cognizdnce in the sum of $500. We re-
gard this as a deplorable instance of laxi-
ty in the administration of the law, which
is seemingly encouraging its violation
each instance one step nearer its worse
extreme. The fact of the character of the
unfortunate woman in this affair should
have had no weight in it, she has as much
right TO the protection Of the law as any
other person. Be this as it may, We hope
some reform can be effected that will
change th5 character of such courts as
that Of yesterday to something nearer the
dignity that belongs to them, and make
them something more substantial than a
by-word in the mouths of evil doers.

Well aware of the Queens beauty aad
facinations, Alexander thought perhaps
she might have some influence over the
French Emperor, and persuaded her to
meet him at Tisit. Though Louise could
never speak Of this man, the author of all
her country's misforiunes. without shud-
der, still, for Prussia's sake, she was wil>
ling TO sacrifice all her personal feelings
and dignity. 1t was sore trial TO this
refined, sensitive woman to meet as a
suppliant the drspot who bad driven her
husband from his throne, aud cast the
fOulest aspefsions upon her honor. Louise
says in her diary "What struggles it
has cost me God only knows; for Il 1 do
not hate this man, l look upon him as the
one who has cost the misfortune cf the
King and the country ~
She made two visits to the naughty

the Queen Of Prussia was the most beau
tiful woman he had ever seen, and he de-
clared that whatever topic of converse
ton he broached. she managed, with the
most admirable tact and delicacy. TO come
back Ia the one theme-Prussia. She
implored Napoleon to prove himself in
deed hero by showing mercy TO fallen
foe, and, if he would make no other con-
cession, at least to restore MHgdrburg.
Just before dinner Napoleon gave her
rose she at first refused it. then accepts
ing it with an arch smile, she said, "Yes,
but at least with Magdeburg."
Il must observe to your majesty"
said Napoleon, grufly, "that it is 1 who
give, and you only who must receive"
The King was present, silent and de.

rhc Ne.t comet.

Encke's comet Is now on It's way TO-
ward the prehelion, which Il will reach
on January next The comet viii be telo
scopically visible some months previously
but is not an object of special interest TO
those whose vision is unaided by instrn-
ments. Astronomers will soon begin to
point their telescopes to the eighborhood
where the comet win be first seen. II has
a very short period only three years and
aquarter The least distance from the sun
Is thirty-two millions OF miles, or about
the average distance of Mercury. The
greatest distance is three hundred and
eighty-seven millions of miles, or moro
than four times that Of the earth. This
comet is principally Of interest because
its period OF revolution has diminished 10
the extent Of about three days In the past
SO years, fact which is generally accept
ed as furnishing the best proof of the
theory that the regions Of space are filed
by material ether capable Of retarding
the motion Of the bodies composing the
solar system OF course this resisting
medium would produce annual effects
upon the comet Of few tons ia weight,
that would not be experienced by our
earth in the course Of thousands Of ages.
But the result, though long long deferred,
is none the less inevitable earth, planet
and comets will all be eventually pre-
into the sun.
