NAPoLEoN I'M.

Charles Louis Napoleon, late EN-
peror of the French, died this MORN
ing, at Chiselhurst, England. He was
the son of Louis Bonaparte, King of
Holland, the brother Of Napoleon LIST,
and Hortense, the daughter Of the EN-
press Josephine, and was born at
Paris, April 10th 1903. Louis and
Hortenso' separated early in their
welded life, and their SON lived with
his mother and was educated by her
During the reign of Louis Philippe
he resided abroad, being refused per-
mission by that Monarch, to stay in
France. He attempted revolution
in France, in 1886, at Strasbourq,
which amounted to nothing. He at
tempted the same thing in lS4O, at
Boulogne, but was from the first lily
received and obliged to seek refuge
in flight. He was however arrested,
tried for treason and sentenced to
perpetual banishment, in the fortress
OF Ham. He remained in prison six
years, and then effected his escape, in
the disguise Of a workman. He re-
sided for some time in this country.
during his wanderings. Upon the re.
violation Of lS4S, he repaired to Paris,
and was soon elected Deputy to the
National Assembly. On Dec. 10th. he
was elected President. In Dec. 1881.
through his Vaccinations he was chos-
en- Emperor for ten years, which COM
pleted the restoration Of the Napo-
Icons to power He married Eugenie,
the Countess de Teba, in January 1853,
and the present Prince Napoleon as a
result of that union was born March
l6, 1856, who is now with his father
and the heir apparent to whatever
right his father may have had to the
French crown.
Napoleon's downfall is familiar to
all aud need not now be recounted.
His death will of course put at rest his
schemes for restoration and may thus
be said TO give more stability to the
present government Of France.

Every one will agree that money il
close, but everybody does not agree
how II comes to be so close nor how to
remedy 1t. We cannot satisfy our
selves just how It comes nor what
shall be the remedy, but we think we
are certain that we can give at least
three good causes to account for the
stringency partially, and that those
things if remedied as they can be, will
give at least partial relief. In the first
place our imports have exceeded heav-
ilysor the'y year past our exports, and
the balance of trade has thus been
against us, amounting to say sixty
millions; our recollection is that II Ia
over this. This is drain upon our A.
nanccs that I remedy should be pro-
vided for, and can be.
In the next place, we have paid the
public debt too rapidly. This debt is
held largely abroad, and paying ono
hundred millions annually upon this,
is no longer required and SO drain
the country OF many millions annually.
It has been the policy of the govern
ment to pay this debt rapidly to de-
n,onstrate 10 the world the fact that,
notwithstanding the immense amount
Of our debt, yet the resources Of this,
the greatest nation on the globe, are
such that we can pay this debt with
ease; in other words, the fears of the
people were 80 great at the close Of
the war, that we were incumbered with
debt we could never pay, that it was
necessary to show that such fears were
groundless; therefore we do not now
complain Of the action Of the govern
ment thus far. The national credit at
home and abroad has been placed on
a basis Of which we are all proud, and
now there is no further need of paying
the debt so rapidly. Provision for a
sinking fund Of the national debt
should be made, but if the yearly pay
ment on II is not one fourth what it has
been for the past year, it will be sufl-
cient, and in this way seventy-flve
million Of taxes may be cut of and the
country greatly relieved.
Finally last, but not least, the peo-
pie Of this country live too fast. They
haveacquired during the war extraya-
giant habits in consequence of the
Hood Of money at that time, and
they find it difficult to get down
off their stills. This difficulty must be
remedied, the people must learn to
economize, pay their debts and quit
going into debt so literally.
We believe the above suggestions
are good and would afford much relief
iffollowed.

This induced the bishop to return to
the city for the purpose of purchasing
an additional organ.

turned home. As he approached his
house, a swarm Of young children
flew out of the front gate and ran to-
ward him, shouting: There's pa

BROWNS WOODEN WEDDING.

Brown, young insurance friend of ours,
says the Boston Traveller, had the fifth
anniversary of his wedding occur about
week ago, and his friends determined to
celebrate his wooden wedding by sur
prise party. Brown came in yesterday
and told us how they succeeded. They
commenced by sending servant round
with team to take Brown and his wife
out to ride at about seven. Then they be-
gan to come with presents and materials
for supper. There was little party of
five came first, all laden-hands full. They
all got nicely inside the garden gate, which
shuts with spring, when Browns big
mastiif. who Is always left unclaimed in his
masters absence, came round the corner
and surprised them One woman stepped
on her dress, and in her fall so demoral-
lied fragl black walnut bookcase she
carried that it was afterward done up in a
bundle and presented as kindling-wood.
Another fellow got safely out of the yard,
all but part of his pants, while old Smith
ers, who weighs 220 pounds, plunged
wildly, with the eight-gallon pail of ice
| cream he carried, through Browns glass
hot-house in the corner Of the yard, and
surprised some $50 worth Of exotics.
Finally they fixed things up and got into
the house, and, as it was about time for
Brown S return, they commenced laying
the supper table. They got down tea
set of rare china that friend of Browns
in the trade had loaned him week be-
fore, and broke two pieces, so that Brown
has since been obliged to mortgage his
house and buy the set; and the COM
ments of Mrs. Brown, when she saw the
condition of the carpet, were sarcastic in
the extreme. Finally, as a crowning
touch, they tried to hang out Chinese liant
erns with the word "Welcome" on them,
on the porch over the front door. They
succeeded in hanging two lanterns, and
when they had saved the house from the
fiery iiend there wasn't porch enough
left to pay for the trouble of trying to
hang out any more. Then they sat down
and waited for Brown and his wife to re-
turn home. We draw the veil over the
scene that followed their return. Some
scenes are too joyous to be described in
cold cold words.
