EASTERN CEREMONIAL.
AT 10 A. M. the king repaired to the
royal throne, arrayed in the splendid
State robes, and attended by bis mobiles
bearing the different insignia of power
A brilliant assemblage had been pre-
>viously congregated in front of the
throne, and representatives from almost
every civilized nation were present.
Immediately. after his majesty had
taken his seat on the throne he read a
proclamation abolishing crouching and
prostration in the presence ola superior
From time immemorial it has been the
Slamese custom never to stand in the
presence of royalty, and the highest
mobiles in the land could only approach
the king on their knees, with their
elbows resting en- the floor and their
hands joined in the act of worship. A
nobleman visiting another of higher
rank than himself would have to remain
in vey similar position, no matter
how long the interview might last.
In the proclamation the king stated
that he had been impressed with the
conviction that no country could pros
per where such scrvility and worship
from one man to another was the GUS
tom, and that he wished to see men on
more equal footing, SO that the
poorest subject in the kingdom might
feel sure of obtaining equal justice
with the rich. During the reading of
this edict all the Siamese present. to
the number of about four hundred,
remained in PROSTATE condition on
the floor, but at its conclusion they
rose simultaneously, and did their best
towards making a bow to his majesty
in European fashion. Many of them
appear i'll at ease, and it was noticeable
by their round shoulders and halt
STOPPING gait, that they We're almost
afraid Of the position they found them
selves in.

A St. Petersburg special says:-The

semblage Of guests, in Winter Palace.
The various galleries were filled with
ladies sumptuously attired. The pre-
vailing costumes were peculiarly Rus

Napoleon the First.

History has not represented the first
Napoleon as he was in reality. Poets !;
private secretaries, courtiers, enth,>
slasts, enemies, and clamorers have
drawn the portrait. We propose to
examine his character from the point of
view Of a psychologist and positivist.
Napoleon was neither dark nor fair.
He had dark chestnut hair, eyes grey,
complexion of plae brown, without any
red in it, and smooth skin. The
brain was large; the skull belonged to
the largest development ever known.
His circulation was slow, the pulse
counting forty beats a minute he per-
spired little, and was insensible alike to
heat and cold, hunger and thirst; his
chest was prominent, and his lips well
proportional, his height was five feet
two inches. Ola Emphatic tempera-
ment, he could support alike excess of
physical and mental exertion. Warm
baths, coffee and strong wines restored
his circulation. NHs intellect was vast
and many sided, applying itself to de-,
tails and cancellations; made up of
prodigious memory that rapidly took
account Of place, number and cause,
and the bearings OF things; genius, in
fine, eminently practical aud positivist.
DISSEMINATION, and extraordinary pow
er of generalization, and sluggish
temperament, make up this wonderful
man these qualities are the source of
his greatness. He was a fatalist.-
Events are brought about by power
superior to human will, he said: There
is neither good nor bad in the world l..
The morality Of an action is to be
judged by its expediency. Religions
are human institutions, serving as a
sort of vaccine to protect us against
lower superstitions, to be defended, not
in the interests of society, but always
in the interests of the priests. Such
was his creed, and he naturally hated
those who possessed higher one. Coa~
sui, Emperor, prisoner, and exile, he
hated philosophers from first to last,
and accused them of the misfortune he
HAD himself brought upon France
the failure of the Russian expedition
the sore discomfort of the nation, and
so on. To sum up the characteristics
of Napoleon, he possessed one of the
vastest intellects ever known, owing
such superiority to his utter insensibil-
ity to impressions, his sluggish temper
ament, his wonderful faculty Of combi>S
nation and reasoning; war was to him
pastime politics personal affair on
ly he possessed neither religions, moral,
nor political beliefs he held the human
race in profound contempt, and was
the greatest egotist ever known, man
of prodigious aptitude for knavery and
mysti6cation and for Administrative pow
err; an intellectual giant, who caused
the retrogression of France and all
E rope, and who possessed one of the
worst hearts that the history of
the : human race had dis
closed. All lovers of progress ought
to make pilgrimage to Waterloo once
in their lives, not to exult over the des-
truction of French army, but to con
template the spot where this great en-
envy of the human race fell victim to
his own excuses.

marriage couple walked thrice around
the raised dais holding to the tip cf
the confessor's robe with one hand and
a candle in the other. At the conclu-
sion of this ceremony the Sacl emental
cup was brought forward, blest and par
taken Of by the bridal bair, thee onfessor
presenting the cross which both kissed.
The decon gave an excellent admonition
on marriage duties. After the chant
"Glory to thee, O., Lord!" was sung,
concluding with the benediction. Thus
ended the Greek service. The pro
cession then slowly formed, proceeding
to the hall of Alexander for the
Anglican service Dean Stanley
officiated. The hall was rather small
She walls were decorated with battle
pictures. Dean Stanley, who, during
the Greek service, were his Episcopal
Doctor of Divinity hood and gown,
now appeared at the altar wearing his
Episcopal surplice with the jewelled
collar of the Order Of the Bath around
his neck. He was assisted by two
English colony, including bankers and
merchants, gathered at the left of the
altar. Conspicuous among them were
Governor Jewell, the American Minis
ter; Lord Lafters, the English Minister,
and the corps diplomatique. Especially
noticeable was Prince Gortschokoff for
his venderable appearance surrounded
by leading members Of the Russian
nobility gathered on the right side of
the altar. Episcopal chants were sung
by Russian chorister, lads in long Grim
son dresses. When the marriage pro-
cession entered the bride walked be-
tween her father and the bridegroom,
with Prince Arthur behind. Upon the
conclusion of the service, Dean Stanley
warmly congratulated the couple
Several Roman Catholic dignitaries
were present. During the ceremony
at the English chapel, the Empress
being confirmed invalid and much
fatigued, sat down, and seemed to be
overcome with emotion, holding her
handkerchief to her eyes when the
married couple came to salute her,
Criticism was made of the appearance
of tie bridegroom; his reserved and
solemn manner created an unfavorable
impression. The Prince and Princess
of Wales affability was cEeered on
their coming on the street. After the
ceremony banquet was given at the
palace, Madame Patti singing. Sub
sequently ball was given at St.
Georges Hall, at which the grand
Russian polonaise was danced by the
Imperial family ard guests.
At the conclusion of the ball the
bridal couple marched to the bridal
chamber, accompanied by the Emperor
and officers Of the court. After the
retirement Of the couple the festivities
were continued, the Emperor being
present.

A Sigular Character.

An old member of Louis XVIITs
body guard died the other day at Les
Batignolles, and was inferred at the
cemetery of Montmartre. He was one
of those characters t, at are more oftener
met with in novels, than in real life
His accomplishments were various, his
execution on the violin was only sur
passed by his skill in drawing, and both
by this talent for versifcation. This
universal genius, who was nicknamed
"the artist" by his comrades, was one
of the best swordsmen in Paris. His
love of duelling was such that, not
withstanding all his science, he receiv
ed 1rany rapier thrust. On one day
in particular he fought three duels for
the following cogent reasons: the first
was with gentleman who looked at
him askew, the second with an indvi-
dual who looked him in the face, the
third with passing stranger who ad
not looked at him at all. On meeting
citizen who had the week before lod
ged his rapier in his ribs, the indomita-
BILE duelllst observed to friend who
was supporting him, "Now, there's a

A STORY OF THE LONDON FoG.-Ot
course, the town is ringing with stories
of the adventures which have happened
during the darkness, one of which is
worth quoting. An old gentleman
who had some business at Oh ,rin o
Cross made his way as far as the Strand,
but there completely lost himself. He
crept slowly on and on without the
least idea of where he was going until
he found himself descending some
steps. On these steps he pumped
against man who was coming UP
them. "Hallo!" said the man. "Can
you tell me" said the old gentleman,
''Hallo" said the man. sCan you tell
me" said the old gentleman, "where
am going tot" eyes said the man !;

A young man in Indiana sues his
father for loaned money, which the
father claims was his own property.
The fathers counsel, in summing up
the case of his client, remarked:
"Twice has this prodigal returned to
his fathers house; twice has he been
received with open arms; twice for
him has the fatted calf been killed; and
now he comes back and wants the old

Projection OF CELLARs.-At the
suggestion of the editor of the Scientific
American, friend of his, whose cellar
was exposed and allowed his vegeta-
bles to freeze, tackled and pasted old
papers over the walls, ceiling and door,
and hung thick paper curtain over
the windows. The result was that
without "banking'up" the windows and
upper portion of the walls as previously
he saved his vegetables from injury
through the last severe winter. Paper
