The Empire was dead; The Emperor has

The Empire was dead; the Emperor has
Just died. y
The Fargo cannot forget Napoleons
twenty-five years service against an army
Of conspirators. 1t deplores his faults;
they led France to the brink Of the abyss
into which others preclpitsted her.
The Empress Eugenie will soon issue
q proclamation TO the French people, an
nounCing that she assumes the regency
during her sons minority.
LONDON, January 10.-MidnIght-A
post mortem examination OF the Emper-
ors remains was concluded at Chiselhurst
this afternoon, and shows that the imme-
diate cause Of death was the failure Of the
action OF the heart. The body will be
embalmed and lie in state. The date and
place Of the funeral have not yet been ap-
pointed. tits probable, however, that the
funeral ceremonies will take place In the
Roman Catholic church near the imperial
residence.
Prince Murat and Prince Charles Bona
parte arrived at Chiselhurst to-day.

srS ireoucnlly expelled from our very
sancium by ihe autoCrRtC female with
her broom, who at stated and much too
CrCoueDt intervals is moved by u desire TO

10 more than thisg We wish TO record our
earnest protest against it in the crude torm

We have been whole morning trying

We might as soon effect an entrance into

inc a broom and IL dust cloth. 1t will take
A week for US 10 find anything, and by
that time the unnecessary disturbance oi
innocent dust and most exemplary spiders
will begin again. One OF our delights in
thinking Of a future life, is the fond hope
that in that existence there will be no
sweeping. Yet what some feminine an
peIs will do without their brooms, we
cannot imagine, We think it must have
been some crusly old Puritan bachelor
long beyond any hopes, who originated
the idea of the witches and their broom
sticks he did not appreciate that even
sweeping may be made pleasant.

Mr. Bret Hartc has hsd his day as a liter.
ary lion, and is finding out what It is to be
hunted down like wolf. On both coasts
Of the continent he Is simultaneously the
subject of attacks which, though true could
emanatc only from malignant assailants.
Boston conccives that he has slighted her,
and the Boston Eeening Gazette tells very
bad story on him. II says that he did"
one Of her tailors out of q nne suit of clothes,
and that the clothier aforesaid never. got
his money till MI. Bret Harte returned to
that city to dine with Mr.. James s.. Clark,
when the tailor md the sheriff met the
guest at the depot. and accompanied him to
the house Of his host, who was thus obliged
to settle the bill or forego the company Of
his friend at dinner. And now comes the
San Francisco Chronicle, with . long arti>
Gle over the signature of W. A. Kendall, in
which the personal character of Mr.. Hartc
Is drawn in colors that belong to no human
beng but regular dead beat" He is
accusd of borrowing money systematically
in smallsums from his San Francisco friends
and failing to return them at q time when
his income was not less than 5000. More.
over it Is charged that while editing the
Ovsrlaud Monthly, he often drew money
from the publisher to pay for contributions,
and then swindled the contributors and the
publisher by appropriating the same to his
own use. No proofs Of these statements are
offered, and It is hoped that they admit of
none. Otherwise the advent Of the next
literary celebrity from the Pacific coast will
set the public on this side of the Rocky
Mountains to asking whether the new geni.
us has ran away from his family or his
tailor; whether he is . downright horse
thief or only 'vic'imizes his friends in the
way of small loans. 49,.
