RemarlsnhIc OLD Man.

4 few weeks ago an old man died in
London, at The age Of ninety-one. He bore
an extraordinary resemblance to the first
Napoleon, and boasted to the hour of his
death of having won the battle of jena
The following was his story, which, how
ever true or false, was universally accent
ed: During a critical moment Of the bat
tie, Albolino (this was the old MANS nancy
seeing the soldiers begin to waycr, mount
ed horse and galloping i'll front of the
troops, cried out, 81 am your empc. or !!
forward!' Ills corporal's uniform and his
resemblance TO the emperor created such
enthusiasm in the ranks that they pressed
forward and the battle was won, not, how
ever, before the Russians had nOtice1 the
cheat, and AbO'ilO was seriously wounded.
He lived upon a pension i'll Paris until
quite an old man, and then went to end
his daSS i'm London.

THE VIEWS OF GENERAL BANKS.
He Thinks Greeley WEI Re Elected
President.

General Banks, who arrived here this
morning, dined with Senator Sumner Il i:
afternoon, after which they drove into the
country. On their return Mr.. Sumner ac-
cOmpanied the General to the train fOf
Boston. In conversation with an acquaint-
ance to-day General Banks EXPIRE ssed en-
phatieally his belief that Greeley will be
elected President. Although MIR. Banks
has not 'sdefined" his political position-a
least not in an emphatic manner-it is very
well known that his regard for President
Grant is little, if any, greater than that of
Senator Sumner. 1t is believed here that
both these gentlemen will notremain silent
on political matters many days longer.
General Banks opposition is explained
to be actuated by his disbelief in the Gov
ernment,s existing foreign policy, particu-
larly regarding the West India question:
He has frequently declared in private, and
threatened to do the same in public, that
the interests of the Cuban patriots were
sacrificed for the purpose of advancing the
not yet dead San Domingo. scheme. I'm
like General Butler, General Banks has
remained from the outset a consistent
friend OF the Cuban Republic, and did not
desert It when the San Domingo PROPOSE
tlon was broached under the plausible as
Sertlon thatlone port In the West Indies,
under control of the United States, would
DE OF more advantage to our country than

The amiable character of the Emperor
is shown by the following:
Some short time since two young ladies
were searching in the park at Habelsberg
for the monument erected to the poet
Heinrich Won Kleist. They were engaged
in q lively discussion with one of the keep
ers, who very naturally knew nothing ut
All about it., ami denied its existence in the
park, when the Emprror's carriage ap-
preached almost n"iSeIessly, the good

dispute. "May it please Your Majesty,"
said the keeper, : these ladies maintain
that the monument of tile poet Won kleist
must be some where here in the park, and
they think | ought to know where it is"
'E Really ladies'" said the Emperor, "the
Keeper is right, and you will not find the
monument here !; it is at some distance

The ArchbishoprIc Of baltimore.

A dispatch from Rome on Monday stated
that the Pope had precognized the Arch
bishop of Baltimore and the Bishop OF
Richmond. From this it would appear
that the Pontitf has made known to his
cOnsistOry or council the names of the fu-
ture Archbishop of baltimore and the
Bishop of Richmond, Va. Since the fact
of the precognition has been announced, it
is somewhat remarkable that the names OF
the appointees were not cleaned also, but
at the same time there appears to be but
little doubt in the minds of the clergy but
that the appointments have been made
If 10 objection was made tor the names by
any member of the cOnsistory, the appoint
ees, whoever they may be, will soon receive
the official notification OF their elevation
AS SOON as this official notification is drawn
APP the names will be made public in Rome,
and teiegraphed, no doubt.-Baltimore

Daring Feat of ~ New Haven woman.
Many of our readers remember Miss
Leona Dare, who resided i'll this city last
fall and winter. She performed in the
Theatre Comique, ard her skill OH the
trapeze was the only redeeming feature of
that concern. She went away from here
last spring, and has been West since, and
has been thrilling people there with per
fOrmances on a trapeZe suspended to a
balloon which was rising. The first trip
was made at indianapolis, a few weeks
| ago. The balloon was inflated, and at a
| quarter to eight was cut loose, and the fine
| formed LeOna, i'll circus clothes, dangling
down from the trapeze bar, holding i'll her
teeth strap which encirclcd the waist of
| Tommy Hall, a companion for her first
voyage in the air, left terra firma.
Everything was still as death, and twas
observed that Hall weakened a little, but
the pltlcky "Queen of Antilles" LeOna
was perfectly cool. just as soon as they
| had left the earth LeOnA commenced spin
| ming Hall around until it made us giddy.
| After this performance and when about
| three hundred feet in the air they com
menced their hiShtalutin' performance, and
| known i'll show language as the double ira
| peZe.
They performed all the difficult and haz-
| ardOus deats at an altitude of about half a
mile, with the same reckless daring that
| characteIiZes their performance under the
pavilion, where, if they were TO tumble,
| their fall would not exceed thirty feet. Up
they went until they were scarcely larger
than a persons hand, and when looked at
through glass provided for the occasion it
was seen that they had climbed upon their
trapeze car, and were apparently enjoying
tctt-d-tete while resting from their excl
ting perilOus labOrS.
The balloon descended very rapily, and
landed abont half mile from the starting
point, i'll an open field, and a party rode up
i'll time to witness their alighting. Hall
