gotten the great services Napoleon has
rendered to the nation in re-establishing
order, and developing the prosperity of
the country"
LATER
A London telegram of the 10th inst.
says
The Empress Eugene and all the
household of Chiselhurst were present at
the bedside of Napoleon when he died.
The Emperor showed slight signs of
consciousness toward his last moments,
and spoke to the Empress twice in a
very feeble tone of voice. His last indi-
cation of life was a smile when the En-
press knelt and kissed her dying hus-
band. She was completely overcome by
her emotions, and tainted at the bedside.
The Prince Imperial, who had been
summoned by telegraph from Wool
witch, arrived at Chiselhurst fifteen min
utes after the death of the Emperor. He
was greatly affected, and kissed the face
of his dead father several times. The
Emperor died peacefully. He passed
away without the slightest sign of pain.
His death is attributed to syncope OF
embolism.
Eugene knelt at his bedside several
hours after the death of the Emperor,
engaged in prayer.
Telegraphic dispatches are being re-
ceived from distinguished persons in all
quarters, expressing the deepest sym.
pathy with the Empress.
Empress Eugenie will soon issue 6
proclamation to the French people, an
nouncing that she assumes the regency
during her sons minority.
A London dispatch of the 18th says
The post norten examination of the
Emperor's remains shows that the i'm.
mediate cause of death was q failure Of
the action of the heart.
The report of the post n1Ortenl exam
nation at Chiselhurst says the failure o.
circulation was due to the Emperor
general constitutional condition. Thu
bladder was found to be diseased, AND
the kidneys were affected. The othe,
organs were sound and healthy, bu
death was simply a question of time.
The Empress last night was calmer
and received several visitors from France
She went several times to the room il
which the body lies.
Queen Victoria sent Col. Gardiner t,
Chiselhurst with an autograph letter
A telegram of coincidence has been re
ceived by the Pope.
The Irish journals generally expires
sorrow for his loss.
The Bonapartist officers In the Frencl
army nave asked leave to attend the flu
neral. Permission will probably b
granted, if they agree to go in civilians
dress.
A dispatch from Paris says hat tn
news caused a great impression in tina
city. There was a slight rise in tn
price of French rentes. The Bonapart
list Deputies m the National Assembl
left the Chamber upon the receipt of tn
intelligence. The news was receive
throughout the provinces with great re
greet. Much sympathy is expressed fo
the Empress.

BuRN1Ne Conn FOR FUEn.-In passing

BURNING Corn FOR FUEL.-In passing
along one of our main streets day
last week, I saw a load of corn being un-
loaded into a place under the sidewalk
where coal is usually kept. L was in
formed that the owner of the store was
going to use the corn as fuel, instead of
coal, and that he found it cheaper. He
paid % cents per hundred for the corn
in the car. Afarmer standing neal me
at the time remarked that he had been
burning corn for some time, and found
it cheaper han coal. Now in the face
of these facts, the Illinois Central road
Gas I was informed) yesterday increased
their tariff on freights. We live within
100 miles of extensive coal fields, and
less than 100 of your city, and yet we are
burning up a portion of that which sus-
tains life because of a lack of fuel. Is it
any wonder that our lands are cheap,
that our farmers complain of hard times,
or that your merchants find country col
lections Slow We have plenty of corn,
oats, barley, etc., but our railroads con-
sumo it in freight charges. Is there no
remedy?-Poo~CW.) Cor. Chicago

MEASURING SHADows.-Carefully con-
Quoted experiments show that a man of
ordinary stature, which on average is not
far from five feet eight and one-half
inches, at the distance of 1913 yards, APP
pears just one-third his height. At a
further distance of 437 yards, one-fourth,
and at 546 yards, one-ffth.
This law may be made use of by those
curious of studying branches of sciences
not generally cultivated in measuring
distant objects. 1t is far less difficult
after a little practice than the common
method. Some persons possess a rare
faculty of determining the height of 6
structure, as a tower, a lofty spire, g
distant tree, either OF a plain or an ele-
walton. Their accuracy is quite as re.
markable in that respect as ~instantane.
Gus answers to complicated questions il
arithmetic, for which the famous Zero
Colburn was widely celebrated.

A TEXAS SToRY.-The editor of a

shaken Constitutions.

General debility, and the dependency by which
it is invariably accompanied, are often regarded
as the symptoms of incurable physical decay. OF
persons thus afflicted it is often said that their
constitutions are undermined; that they have
nothing left to fall back upon; that they are hope
less cases. This, in at least eight instances out OF
ten, is q false conclusion. A constitution may be
shaken without being undermined; and even if
undermined may be propped and strengthened
and in many so-called hopeless cases there are re-
serves of vitality and latent vigor in the system
render them equal to the work of repair. The best
and surest stimu1ant and invigorant that can be
given as a remedy for decay of the vital powers,
whether natural or casual, is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. If the faltering physique can be reused
into healthy activity by any human means, this
regeneratinR vegetable cordial will accomplish
that object. Its effect upon the appetite, the Gil
gestion, the nervous system, the secretive organs
and the bowels is most s~alutary. 1t not only acts
directly upon the solids and fluids of the body, but
indirectly upon the constitution itself. Persons

The Cuban War--Gen. SIckles Resigns.
NEW YORK, December IA cipher
dispatch from Madrid states that the as
pect of the Cuban question is again grave.
Minister Sickles, to-day, rendered his re.
signation as Minister in consequence OF a
disagreement with the authorities at Wash
ington about the Spanish complications.
This disagreement has existed for some
time. It is understood that in the recent
negotiations Secretary Fish acted directly
with President CASTELAR,, ignoring Minis
ter Sickles and disappearing of hls imper-
alive tone. The Correspondence says
they hava had frequent dlsagreements be-
fore. There was at least rupture with
Mr.. Fish on the occasion Of the corespon-
dence attending the demand of Bidwell
from Havana and the Howard case, when
Mr.. Fish ignored Sickles and dealt direct
ly with the Spanish Minister.
Ii is said in diplomatic circles that the
good Offices of the British Minister accom-
plished settlement but now as Mr.. Fish
proposes further concessions, Sickles re-
signs. The Cuban authorities demand
that the virginius be delivered at some
Spanish or Porto Rico polt, and the dis
cretion of the colonial minister, there to
await arbitration. The opposition to Pres.
ident CASTELAR, is eliminating in cabinet
crisis. The whole Spanish press is indig-
nant, and protests against the tone of Pres
ident Grants message as all impertinent
interference in Cuban affairs which is real
" none of his business. The cause of the
cabinet crisis is the charge that CASTELAR,
cringes to America The situation springs
from the astounding ignorance, haughtl-
ness and pride of the people, and the feel
ing is intensely warlike.
A meeting of prominent citizens was
held in this city this afternoon, to arrange
for monster meeting at Cooper Institute
next Friday night, to give expression to
the public sentiment with regard to Gu
ban affairs. The list Of Vice-Prcsidents
include some of the first citizens. Ad
dresses will be madeby the Rev. DR.. Tying,
Col Morgan, and others.
1t is said that the steamer City Of Mer-
ida, the fastest vessel on the coast, will
be altered into gunboat and transport to
be used in case of war. A quantity OF
ship timber is now on her wharf, which it
is said will be used to strengthen her, so
that she cen carry heavy ordnance.

--latest From Havana.

HAVANA, December Captain Gen.
eral Jovellar authorizes the statement that
the entire island is tranquil. He has no
doubt that all will be arranged peaceably
and satisfactorily, without the slightest
difficulty. He now declares that he does
not intend to leave Havanna or transfer
:. his power into the hands of Gen. Merelo,
the Segundo Cabo, who arrived by the last
steamer from Spain. The feeling of the
people in Havana is quieter and no dis
turbance is apprehended.
The disposition to comply with the man
dates Of the home Government and obliga-
tions of the treaty with the Unied States,
without further discussion, is becoming
general. The general commanding at San
tiago de Cuba, in the absence ofGen. Bur-
riel, acting without orders, but believing
he was doing right, placed 90 of the Vir-
ginius' prisoners aboard the Spanish man
of-war Bazan and sent them to Cienfue-
gos. The few remaining prisoners were
either too i'll to be removed, or being mere
youths Of tender age had been set at lib
erty. One of those thus liberated was en-
gagged as waiter on one Of the yernment
steamers. The prisoners, while a, Santa
go, were well treated by the authorities
and in no way molested by the pcpulace.
When the Bazan reached Cienfuegos her
commander announced by telegraph to
Havana his arrival with the prisoners.
The Captain General answered by order
ing the immediate return of the Bazan
and the prisoners to Santiago, where they
must have arrived by this time.
