it would be rude to shake hands with
any body, man or woman, without un.

The B0napartes in England.

From Justin Mccarthy's Letter to the New York
ga .aHa Mail.
The Queen has gone to-day to pay a
visit to the Emperor Napoleon at CHS
elhurst. Meanwhile a distinguished
connection of his Imperial Majesty has
opened a dressmakers' shop in New
Bond street, London. The Princess
Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte announces
- to the nobility and gentry y of Eng
land that she has started an establish
ment for superior and oistiRqUo
dressmaking, that she has "the latest
fashions and novelties from Paris, "and
that an early inspection is invited. "
This lady is the wife of that Corsican
Mauprat whose murder of the young
French journalist preluded the fall of
the Empire as that of the Duchesse de
Prasljn did the fall of Louis Philippe S
monarchy Pierre could not obtain per-
mission from the Emperor to marry
the lady, so he married her without
permission. | remember the CORE
spondence which took place between
the two illustrious cousins on the sub
iect, and which was found in the Tuil-
cries after the crash of Sedan. Pierre
begged to be allowed to marry the lady
of his choice because-I desire to put
it very odestly-because although he
stated with touching simplicity he had
not originally contemplated matri.
monial bond, yet he WAS now anxious
to make his children legitimate The
Emperor would not hear of such a
thing. When a man has the honor
of bearing such a name as yours he
writes, "there are proprieties which
one is bound to respect! !" Pierre
returns to the charge. He urges
that the lady is of blameless conduct,
although of humble bilth and then,
unluckily losing his temper, he re-
marks that if the Emperor did talk of
D1eSoIi0Hces there are other Hesuiii-
onces in the family which are good
deal less respectable. This allusion, |
presume, must have settled the matter.
The Emperor fatty refused his consent
and closed the correspondence. SO
Pierre married the woman, in spite of
Imperial neutrality-suspicious. the only
good action of his life-and now, of
course, Imperial authority beng over,
she is firm and fast his wife. | don't
know whether the name andsthe title
will draw much custom to the dress
making establishment in New Bond
street.
There are probably a good many
ladies' in London to whom the chance
Of having their dresses cut out and tried
on by any sort OF princess whatever,
would be powerful temptation. Per
haps the Imperial eXiles may buy off
the irrepressible cousin, and close up
the shop for the sake Of the family.
Perhaps the announcement is only
made with this hope Anyhow, | do
not suppose the patronage Of the EN-
press Eugene will be given to the new
concern.

NOT LONG ENOUGH.
4 Darkcy's Dream, with Il Moral for
the Democracy.

the Democracy.
From the Springfield ull) journal.
The Democratic hope of success next
November, by means of Republican
aid, reminds us of a negro sermon
which we once heard, as reported by a
clerical friend in this city. We do not
remember ever to have seen it in print
/ The colored preacher, in the course of
very animated discourse, related a
dream which he had dreamed a few
nights before. He said:
MY brethcring and my sistering-
All, dreamed q dream-ah. An |
dreamed dat | had the berry identikul
dream that Jacob went up to saw de
Lord on. An put it up to heaben-ah,
an by de help Oh faith / mounted
a-w-a-y-up-to-d-e-t.o p; an 1t was too
short-ah. An | took it down an |
spliced it; an put it up to heben de

on smashing big splice; and | put if
up to hcheu de third time-ah, an by de
help ob faith [ mounted away up de
top de third time-ah, an it was too
short dc third time-ah. y
Democratic experience, precisely.
The preacher paused Il moment for
breath, then resumed more loudly and
/ cxcitcdly than ever:
$50 | spread my wings an | give an
almighty jump !"
Then his voice dropped to a coutiden-
tial whisper, and he concluded by say
ing: "An' ! got de TIA r-n-a-t-i-o-n est
fall dat ebher you see on God s yearth. "

MAY.

lis May, bright May the merry air
l. full OF perfume sweet
on shrub and tree, mid springng grass
Gay tinted fow'rets meet.
The birds are in the widest joy,
The blue sky smiles above,
The mountain wears the emerald robe,
And verdure decks the grove.
The bees are hurrying through the air.
Bearing the sweetest dew
Fresh gathered from the fragrant flowers
Their waxeu cells e'cr knew.
The insect world is all astir.
And in the dancing stream
The very fish seem glad. and seek
To catch the suns bright CLEAN.
Childhood. sweet youth, old age, confess
The influence Of the day;
And even diving hope revives
Beneath the touch Of May

A Fast start-.-Threc Boys Rum Away
with Nearly $4,000.


kweek or two ago man named Stonlng-
ton. living nj Montreal, went with his family
To Toronto to pay visit TO his sister. The
gentleman had for some weeks been think
ing Of removing to Toronto and going into
business, and had accumulated acout seventy j"
six hundred dollars from sales OF real estate.
Thinking he might want to use the money,
he took it to Toronto with him-neariy OIL OF
It, or all except two hundred and forty dol,
lars. being In ereenbacks and bank bills, and
nearly all the bills Of large denominations.
The money was deposited in a bank tor sefe-
raj DAYS, when, having about concluded a
business arrangement, it was taken out, ana
Wednesday afternoon it was Placed In CHINA
closet for a few hours. Stonington mas q son
Frank, fifteen years old, and at o'clock he
asked permission to go to the depot and see
all acquaintance of.
An hour aflerward the father came to the
house for the money, aud, behold, it was
gone. His boy having been seen IN the
vicinity of the closet, and being rather
sfast" youth, it was Mt once suspected that
he hal stolen 1t. The father rushed to the
depot, found boy who had seen his son
take the train with two other boys, and ne
telegraplled ahead for some officer to stop. the
boys. In writing the dispatch he described
Franks dress, but failed to state that he was
n boy ms cad of man and SO when the
train was searched by the officer the three
lads es ,lped his attention. The boys got OIL
ut London, purchased each new overcoat
and hat, rs we'll as lot Of contectlonerles
and notions. and finally concluded to rmaln
nil night. According TO their own statement,
tlcv had set out to see the world, and they
Sqllandered ten or fifteen dollars III knocking
around London that night, or until the ex-
press train came along. Getting little
frightened at seeing an officer eye them
sharply, they changed their programme
about staying all night, and went to Wind
sor. arriving ut Detroit in the morning.
As for the father, he took the next train
for Toronto, but got of at small station on
f:,I.c information, made another delay, and
reached Windsor at halC-past O'Clock in the
morning, two hours behind the boys. Start
ing up the street, almost the first faces he
saw were those of the three boys, each smok-
ing cigar, and being on their way TO take
flc ferry. They were so dumb with amaze
mcnt that none of the trio could utter word
for some time. They were taken to the ho-
tel, room secured, and then there was a
scene to which outsiders were not admitted.
The money had been divided as to bulk, and
each pocket was filled, while one of the boys
had three or four hun lrcd dollars in his boot
legs. About one hundred and fifty dollars Of
the money had been used up, but the lads
calculated on "slinging the stamps" when
they reached Detroit. Frank was the oldest,
while one Of the lads was only twelve years
OF age. They were taken back, and relation
ship will of course prevent any legal steps in
the matter.

Locking Up the Old FOiks-..HEow n
kentucky Girl Managed an Eiepe-

NGC51I.
From the Nashville Banner, December p.
A rather romantic runaway affair occurred
Mt franklin, Ky, early Friday morning. The
father of q certain young lady of that place
had refused to give his consent to her mar
riage, and had tr lated her lover with great
harsllncss on account, us is alleged, Of his
being poor. But though love does not in most
instances lul particularly smooth, nothing
can prevent two happy hearts from uniting
their destinies for better or for worse when
ever the owners so resolve. TO make our
story brief, a plan WIS concocted by which
the plir were to run down to Michellville,
Just this side of the State line, where arrange
me ITS had been made the day previous with
magistrate to perform the ceremony.
The fond couple appeared mt the depot at
Franklin shortly after 8 o'clock on the morn
ing mentioned. 1t having been suggested by
some untccling wag that they might possibly
be overtaken by her iratc father, and their
biissful hopes blasted at the very moment of
realization, the bridegroom became cOnsid-
srably deinoralized, hut was soon reiissured
by his pluckier companion, who coolly re-
marked: 81 don't see how he can, really
don't. lie lives three miles from here, and
II he comes he will have to walk. He can't
make the distance atoot before the arrival
and departure of the train. / forcsaw the
danger Of such a denouement last night, and
made my arrangements accordingly. went
to the stables, hid all the brides, locked the
doors, aud threw the keys away. When
left home this morning mother and father
were asleep. ] quietly turned the key upon
them and threw it away, too"
1t need hardly be said that her explanation
was highly satisfactory. The trim rolled III
at 5:57, the lovers jumped aboard and were
married at GEO at Mitchellyille, on the arrival
Of the train at that place.
That girl was certainly worth the trouble
of winning, but we have notion that if her
husband tries to kick out OF the matrimonial
traces the keys will be turned on him, too,
some of these DAYS.
