The correspondent of the World,
writing from Chiselhurst, says:
At a quarter past eleven the gilded
gates of Camden Place were thrown
open and a carriage appeared containing
Lucien BOnaparte and Prince Lucien
Murat. A great cry arose from the
crowd for the first time III his life this
young man, who to-day had attained his
eighteenth year, heard himself acclaimed
as Caesar. 6 ViUe . EnapereuT % was
the cry, and it was taken up and echoed
and re-echoed by the crowd that lined
the way to the church until the shout
almost drowned the merry clangor of
the bells of the Protestant parish church,
which at this moment began to ring
merry welcome. was standing close
to the side of the carriage, as owing to
the density of the crowd it paused until
way could be made for it, and I looked
narrowly at the prince to observe the
effect which these acclamations might
have on him. He had taken off his hat
to bow his face certainly flushed, per-
haps with pride, perhaps with humility.
It is no common face-he is yet so
young that no one can tell what there
may be in him-but it is the face of one
who has confidence in himself and in his
"star." Throughout the whole of the
day he bore himself with dignity, COM
posure and grace. The empress was
looking extremely well. [ had been
told she had greatly aged, but I could
not see it. She IS still handsome, and
as winning and charming as ever.

The Armies of Europe.

From the latest official returns we
have compiled the following statement
of the cost and strength OF the various
armies of Europe. Among the topics
which it suggests, several are worthy of
careful thought. First, the vast arma-
ments here set forth have grown to
their present unwieldly dimensions
within q few years, and in great part
through the dissensions of France and
Germany. Secondly, that the sum of
1853, ,0OO 600 is wasted every year on
these vast preparations for war. Third
ly, that in time of peace this great mil
itary mechanism costs not only $780,
000,000 of actual cash, but withdraws
from productive industry and keeps in
enforced idIeness 2, 1898, 600 men of the
most useful ages and qualifications,
thereby inficfing loss upon the com
munity which in magnitude can scarce
Iy be estimated in figures, butmuet con-
siderably exceed 81, 200, 600, 600 year
If these estimates be correct, the armies
of Europe, besides their moral evils,
rob the public wealth every year of
81, 500, 100000. The following is our
table

{. war book written. and that it viii be pub
lished in England.
Wolver, who committed suicide in
New York some time ago, turns out to have
been in the Royal Hungarian state treasury,
and to have absconded with 900.
According to the last report of the
New York immigrant society, the number of
emigrants from Ireland from May 5, 1847, to
March 8, 1874, was l, 933, ,128. In the first
quarter of this year 2,O87, against 4, 816 in the

The mayor of New Orleans has sent
the following dispatch to the principal cities !:
q Owing to the unexampIed overflow of the
Mississippi river and its low branches, by
which more than one thousand square miles of
our state are submerged, many thousands of
families are ruined in their fortunes, and are
threatened with starvation. It is beyond the
means of our citizens who have escaped from
this great calamity to give adequate relief to
the sufferers. I have, therefore, thought
proper to give an opportunity to your citizens
to aid us. The contributions of the philan-
thropic are earnestly solicited for these vic
tins of the two-fold visitation of flood and
famine"
The statements made by persons on
board the steamships Europe and Greece con-
fict very much. None doubt that of Capt.
Lemaire, that he believed his ship in a sinking
condition, or speak otherwise than in the high
est terms of the discipline exercised on board
the Europe when her condition was made
known to the passengers but Capt. Lemaire
makes statements in regard to the officers of
the Greece which are emphatically denied.
On the other hand, statement is made by the
chief engineer of the Greece that at the time
he boarded the Europe, at the time of her
abandonment, her fires were not put out by
the water, but that, had the crew remained at
their posts, no difficulty would have been ex-
perienced in keeping the water under and safe
ly continuing the voyage.
The following is the text of the bill
for the free exchange of newspapers by mail,
within the county of their publication, and
for free transmission to bona tide subscribers,
which passed the house ON the 18th: That
from and after the passage of this act the
following matter shall be allowed to pass free
in the mail: 1st, newspapers, periodicals and
reciprocalIy interchanged between
publishers, and not exceeding sixteen ounces
in weight, to be confined to single copy of
each publication; End, newspapers, one copy
to each actual subscriber residing or receiving
the same within the county where the same
is published but carriers shall not be re-
quired TO distribute such papers unless post
age is paid on them at the usual rate.

There is no song like aE old song
That We have not heard for years;
Each simple note appears TO thrOng
With shapes that swim in tears.
It may have been q cheerful strain,
But twas so long ago
That glee, grown old, has turned to pain,
And mirth has turned to woe.
There is no friend like an old friend,
Whose Hfe-path mates our own,
Whose dawn and noon, whose eve and end
Have known what we have known
It may be when we read his face
We note a trace of care;
'Tis well that friends in LIES last grace
Share sighs as smiles they share.
There is no love like an old love,
A lost, may be, or dead,
Whose place, since she has gone above,
No other fills instead.
1t is not we'll ne'er love anew,
For life were drear if SO,
But that first love had roots that grew
Where others cannot grow.
There are no days like the old days,
When We, not they, were young;
When all life's rays were golden rays
And wrong had never stung.
Dear h6 art ! if now our steps could rass
Through paths Of childhOods morn,
And the dew of youth lie on the grass
Which times fell scythe has shorni
Old song, old friend, old love, old days;
Old things, yet never CID;
A stream that's dark till sunshine plays
And changes it to gold;
Through all winds memory's river OF,
Mid banks of sore regret,
But gleam's on the peaks Of lOng-agone
That softens sadness yet.

Bottlebury, of Camden, VIII never
dive into the creek to save another wo-
man from drowning. He. saw a red
haired girl named Sparks tumble In the
other day off a boat, and he instantly
plunged in after her, caught her by her
dress, and swan to the shore with her.
As soon as they were on dry land Miss
Sparks gave a hysterical scream, flung
her arms about Bottlebury's neck, and
tainted. just then the father came up,
with the rest of the family, and per
ceiving the situation, he dashed up to
BOttlebury, gTasped his hand, and said:
''Take her, my boy take her It is
hard to give her up; it wrenches her
old fathers heart but she is yours.
Bless you, my children-bless you -
Then Mrs. Sparks cried, and said she
hoped Harriet would by happy. The
little Sparkses manifested their emotion
by climbing up Bottlebury's legs and
pulling his coat tails. Then Harriet
came to, and laying her head on his
shoulder, whispered, " Kiss me, darl-
ing" Bottlebury, amazed and indig-
nant, tore himself away and fed. He
was arrested that afternoon on charge
of breach of promise, and on the trial
the jury gave the broken-hearted Miss
Sparks two hundred dollars damages.
