tfon, hating detail, and hating discussion, but
he got to, work on his .'Liie Of Cesar," hia
ministers complained that they con1d not get
audience or even signatures from him. Here is
capital picture OF the way in which be came to
4 decision
"when 1t is necessary to act he does not con
suit his frends still less his Ministers, and per-
haps he is right, for they would give him only
bud advice he does not conscientiously think
the matter over, weigh the opposing reasons,
etr7ke the balance and act. He takes his cigar,
gives looee to his ideas, let's them follow one an
other without exercising over them his will, till
st last something pleaaes his imagination, he
seizes it, and thinks himself inspired. Some
times the inspiration is good as it was when he
released Add 81 Kader; sometimes it is very bad,
as it WIS when he chose the Same time for OPEN
ing the discussion OF the addreas, and revealing
the state OF our finances" !.
Some things he did and said were due in no
emau measure to his childlike delight in aston
tshing people. in making Europe and France

Almost always he put his ideas in writing, 1nd
when be summoned Minister to his Cabinet
he would read the paper to him or hand it to
him to read. II the Minister dieapproved,
or criticised, or suggested notifications,
the paper was put back in its drawer without
reply, and the Emperor turned to another sub
ject or dismissed his Minister, and the latter
would go away believing he had convinced his
master, and that the plan WIRE abandoned. The
next thing he would hear OF it would be the pro-
mitigation Of the rejected plan as an Imperial
decree.
It nay be worth noticing that Madame R.

belief f-t' in her opinion, n talks nonsense. And
Bhe gives comparison OF dates and facts which

Louis often said the boy Was not his, she ad-
mits, but explains it on on the theory that he
was half mao, and said SO only to tease his wife.

TO A DEAD WIFE.

Pale star, that, with thy soft, sad Light,
Came out upon my bridal ere,
I hevo song to sinR tonight,
Before thou takst thy mou1ufu1 leave.
Since then 80 softly time has stirred,
That months havs almost seemed nke hours,
And an like little bird,
Tust slept too long among the flowers,
And, waking, Btts with waye!eas wing,
Sort-sluging mid the shades Of even.
But, oh! with saddor heart I aing,-
I sing OF one who dwells In Heaven!
The winds are soft the clouds are few;
And tenderest thought my heart begui1es,
Al, floating up through mist aud dew,
The pale young moon comes out and smless
And, to the green, reSoundtnE shore,
In slvery troops the ripples crowd,
TIL all the ocean, dfmpled DER,
Lifts up It's voice and laughs aloud;
And star on star, Ill soft and calm,
Flo.ta mp yon arch 6erenely blue
And, lost to earth and STEPPED in balm,
My spirit foats In ether too.
I feel thy spirit lingering near
And softly as feel the Light
That tremb1es through the atmosphere:
AZ, In some temples holy shades,
Though mute the hymn aud hp9hed the prayer,
A solemn awe the soul pervades,
Which tells thAt worship hns been there:
A breath Of tncensa left alone -
Where many censer swung around,
Which thrills the wanderers, Like to one
Who trends on cQnsecrateA ground
know thy soul, from worlds Of bliss,
Yet stoops awhile to dwell with me-
Hath caught tho prayer breathed In tits, .''
That at last might dwell with thee.

That thrills me like the spirits stghs;
I hear voice On every breeze,
That 1nakes to mine fta log replies
A voice all low and sweet like thine,
It giyca an answer to my prayer,
And brings my soul from Heaven sign
That will know and meet thee there,
III know thee there By that sweet face
Round which tender h4lo plays,
Still touched with tlat expressive grace
That made thee lovely Ell thy days;
By that sweet sIn1le that DER it shed
beauty like the light Of even, ,
WhoEe soft expression never fed
Fen when It's soul had flown to Heaven
III know thee by the starry cruwn
That R1itters in thy raven hatr.
Oh! By these blessed signs alone,
III know thee there,-1U know thee thecof
For ah! thine eye, within whose sphere
The sweets Of youth aud beauty met,
That suum in love and softuess hero,
Must swim in love and softness yet.
For ah its dark aud liquid beams,
Though saddened BY thousand atghs,
We're holiar than the light that streams
Down from the gatea Of Paradise;
We're bright and radiant like the morn,
Yet soft and dewy "a the eve,-
Too sad for eyes whare smiles are t1rn,
Too young for eres t1at learn to g1iera.
I wonder II this cool, aweet breeze.
Hath touched thy lips aud found thy brow;
For all my spirit hears and sees =.
Recalls thee to my memory now;
For every hour we breathe apart
Will but increase, If that can be,
The love that fills this lonely heart,
Already filed 30 full Of thee.
Yet many tear these eyes must weep, :.
And many sin must be forgiven,
Ere these pale hda ahan aink to Rleep,.
And you and I shall meet in Heaven.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
MARCH TERM, 1873.

To the Honorable Judges Grasoa, Yellott end

County, Nd:
GENTLEMEN-The Grand Jury for the March
Term beg leave respectfully to represent that
they have been in session 10 days, during which
time there appeared before them l03 witnesses
in connection with 50 cases, which were dis
posed of as follows Dismissed %, indicted %,
and ignored 2.
In their official capacity they visited the
County Jail, where they were in an unostenta
tious manner cordially received by Sheriff
Robinson and Warden Cline. The buildings
and premises are kept in a clearly condition,
and the safe custody of the inmates as secure
as possible under existing circumstances
There are now confined as prisoners % per-
sons, 81 males and ! female; 10 under sen
tence; Is awaiting trial. and 3 on peace war
rants-all seeming to be comfortably and prop
erly provided for
The last Grand Jury having made and repor-
ted an examination of the financial accounts
of the County Treasurer, up to the Sth Of jan
uary of the current year, it was considered by
this body unnecessary to enquire further into
the matter.
The plaster ceiling of the Grand Jury room
having partially fallen down from its place,
thereby indicating that the remaining part
will soon follow, to the peril and injury of all
who may have occasion to be in the apartment;
therefore, it is recommended that the present
plaster ceiling beremoved as soon as practicable
and a wooden ceiling be substituted.
Having thus finished the duties incumbent
upon them they now desire to be finally dis
charged.
With assurance of high regard and much es-
teen, Your obedient servants,

To whom do the offices belong, to the peo-
pie or the politicians? This is question it
mghtprofto people to cOnsiderint this county.
Our ofice-seekiDg Democracy is on the in
crease. There is no known Office that does not
have a plcnteous supply of candidates. Its
growth in this line seems marvellous.
The Democrats seem disposed to rob Pres
ident Grants cabinet of one Of its ornaments
by sending Hon. John A. j. Creswell to the
United States Senate Perhaps they'll wait a
while.
Are the taxpayers of the county willing
10 add to the fifty-three thousand dollars ad-
ditional expenses they are now luxuriously
supporting? If they are let them continue in
power the party that entailed this comfortable
duty upon them.
Mr.. Booth has about two hundred and forty
appointees under him. Many of the incum-
bents will remain. What patronage he has is
to be distributed among twenty-five counties
and Baltimore city. So, dear friends, don't be
disappointed if all Of you do not get an Office
