Yithal a little wild, should marry the lady he
has SO long hsnored With his attentions. The
father Of the girl is made Of that stern stuff that
will brook ne delay in emergencies, SO provid-
ing himself with ono of those little persuaders

this aged father In Israel was called home. =
Beacon Jones was a member of the Second
Baptist ehuIrh, Wilmington, Delaware. He
was the Oldest Baptist in the State, having es-
poused the ssuse nearly seventy years ago
His life was useful and happy-his end peace
full. The days of his years were many, and
his soul was filled with good He had almost
reached the limit Of human existence. But
his protraGtal life had not passed without the
acquisition OF that object which the Bible pro-
poses. His last days were days of peace, res
ignation, and patient watching Sorrow, an-
guish, and determination, did not rise in the
retrospection Of wasted life Youth, man
hood. old age, passed before him with cheer
ing rays of light. Like Job, David, Paul, he
looked back with pleasure, and was ready
when the Master called. He passed forward to
an eternity for which he had made due and
timely preparation. Like Jacob, without pain
of body or the anguish Of guilty conscience,
BIZ calmly expired.

NapOleOn-His Last Moments AMI,
Peaceful Death,

NapOieOn-Uis Last Moments and
Peaceful Death.
LONDON, January 10.-The Empress
Eugene and all the household of Chisel-
hurst were present at the bedside of Napo-
leon when he died. The Emperor showed
slight signs of consciousness towards his
last moments, and spoke to the Empress
twice in very feeble tone of voice. The
last indication of life was a smile when the
Empress 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 sum-
moned by telegraph from Woolwich, ar
rived at Chiselhurst fifteen minutes after
the death of the Emperor. lie was great
ly 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 attribu-
ted to syncope or embolism. A post
mortem examination of the remains will be
made to day. The body will lie in state
several days previous to the funeral. Eu-
genie knelt at the bedside several hours
after the death of the Emperor, engaged in
prayer.
Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, has sent
message of coincidence to the Empress, in
her sad bereavement. The Prince of Wales
and Prince Teck visited Chiselhurst YES
terday. The remains of the Emperor will
probably be placed temporarily in st. Ma
RVS church. The Prince of Wales who
is at present the guest of Baron Rothschild,
at Acton, has requested a postponement
OF all French plays at the theatres in Lon
don; as well as the ball which was about
to be given in his honor.
EFFECT OF THE NEWS IN PARIS.
A dispatch from Paris says the news. of
the death OF ex-Emperor Napoleon caused
a great impression in that city. There was
a slight rise in the price of French rentes.
The Bonapartist Deputies in the National
Assembly left the chamber upon receipt of
the intelligence. Many of them will come
to London, where Prince Napoleon, Prin-
cess Mathilde, NJ. Rouher, M. Fleury, and
others are expected.
The news was received drought the
Provinces with great regret, and much SYM
pathy is expressed for the Empress.
THE LONDON JOURNALS
this morning publish highly laudatory
obituaries of the Emperor.

Instructions to our Minister to Spain
The Emancipation Question.

-AhS Azh1hoAShpnsAVsh StuSSssOhs
WASHINGTON, January 0. - General
Sickles has been instructed by Secretary
Fish to demonstrate with Spain for failing
to carry into effect the emancipation act.
If she permits it to be disregarded in Cuba,
it is confession of inability to control the
instruction there, which has now lasted
four years, costing much treasure and
thousands of lives. Our commercial and
other connections with that island compel
us to take warm interest in it's peaceful
and orderly condition.
Secretary Fish alludes to the great case
with which hostile expeditions, despite the
vigilance of the United States, can be land
ed on the island, and to the fact that insur-
gent partisans take up their abode in this
country to plot and act for the advance
ment of their cause. Our trouble in main
tanning our neutrality is so great that unless
Spain soon suppresses the revolt, this gov
eminent will be forced to consider whether
duty to itself may not demand some
change in the line of action it has thus far
pursued.
He then refers to the delays in awarding
justice to American citizens who have
been oppressed in Cuba.
General Sickles is also instructed to insure
the Spanish government of its eanestness
in this matter, and that, unless redress is
soon afforded, change will soon take
place in the feeling and temper OF the peo-
pie and government of the United States.
