1850. Strange that / bear my b 'dy's
pains better than my souls joys. Why
Is it that great love, great yearning great
emotion Of any pleasing and ecstatic
kind, even the furihest removed from
grief and distress, should make me suf-
fer? My kisses on Barbara's cheek, my
love, my prayers, these, although they
are the very chiefest delights OF which
my sad life is composed, nevertheless
all go quivering through me SO as TO
make me suffer rather than enjoy.

How the Puppet Emperor Looked.

IChisclhurst Correspondence Of n. Y. World.
At a quarter past IL the gilded
gates of Camden place were thrown
open and a carriage appeared con-
tanning the Empress and Prince I'm
perial, Prince Lucien Bonaparte and
Prince Lucien Murat. A great cry
arose from the crowd; for the first
time in his life this young man, who
to-day had attained his eighteenth
year, heard himself acclaimed as
Caesar. "VGre = Emperem!" was
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
the merry clangor of the bells of
the Protestant parish church, when
at this moment began to ring a well
come. / was standing close to the
side Of the carriage, as owing to the
density of the crowd il paused until
way could be made for it, and l
looked narrowly at tho Prince to OBJ
serve the effect which these accla-
nations might have on him. He
had taken off his hat to bow ; his
face certaily flushed, perhaps with
pride, perhaps with humility. 1t is
no common face-he is yet so young
that no N can tell what there may
be in him-but ii is the face of one
who has confidence i'm himself and
i'm his ''star." Throughout the
whole of the day he bore himself
with dignity, composure and grace.
The Empress was looking extreme
ly well. i had been told she had
greatly aged, but i could not see it.
She is still handsome, and, as 1 had
opportunities of proving later i'm the
day, is as winning and charming as
ever.

THERE is cheating in all trades,
but ours; and there are hypocrites
in every church, but ours. If there
are rascally middlemen, why should
there not also be selfish, greedy,
AID corrupt Changers? Human
nature is the same everywhere, and
the grange:cannot expect exemp-
ton from its laws. We indulge
in these reflections after perusing
the just complaint of Mr..
Prince against Allen Root.
We take it for granted that men
are not to be judged by their profess
sions, but by their acts. Mr.. Roots
actions give the lie to his profess
sions, and stamp him as unworthy
of the important trusts confided to
him by the Douglas County Grang-
ers. While he processes to
be actuated by pure motives,
he proves to be impelled by a desire
to defraud a poor mechanic out of
his just dues. While he pleads
against lawyers and advocates ar
bitration, he is the very first man
To drag others into a
JUSTICES Court. While he pros
fessses great friendship for working
men, he is the very man that seeks
to deprive them of their rights.
II the Changers of Douglas coun-
ty want to make a creditable im>
preston upon the citizens of Omaha,
they will have to discard such lead
ers as MI. Root.

DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.

Our reorganized City Council has
We fear set a very dangerous pre-
cedent by their action upon the
City Treasurership. We ~apprehend
this action is mainly due to a mis-
conception by the members of
their duties and functions. While
City Councils are perpetual legisla-
tive bodies the process of annual re-
organization renders each Council
perfectly independent of its pre-
decessor.
In other words the Council Just
organized, is as distinct from the
old Council, as is the present Legis-
ture from the Legislature of 1871.
In acting officially upon any sub
ject, the members of the present
Council are not to be influenced by
their personal observations, or expe-
rience in any former council, but
NhS L2u,t AL I'LL Eases I've
governed by the official record.
Neither partizanship, personal
prejudice or outside pressure should
for a moment swerve them from
their sworn obligations of impartial
action. The very first duty of the
recognized Concil, was to examine
the bonds presented by the various
city officers.
The charter declares who these
officers are, and the official canvass
made in pursuance of the charter
declares who was elected to
each respective Office. That record
was to be the sole guide of the
Council, and no quibbling about
q contest in progress outside of the
Council could be permitted to inter-

In Charleston, recently, a large
dog gave chase TO a poor little black
and tan, whose hind leg had been
injured, but, failing to overtake
him, turned about and trotted slow
ly back. In a short time the small
dog returned, followed by a large
Newfoundland, who, upon reaching
the corner, seemed to be looking
for something" when the little dog
gave two or three sharp banks, as
much as to say, THAT'S the dog who
chased me-" at the same time indi-
eating by his actions the large black
dog, who was then at some distance.
Whereupon the little dogs ally i'm
mediately attacked and severely
punished the aggressor, who was
glad enough to try the swiftness of
his feet for safety. After this little
affair the small dog and his friend
returned down the street, apparent
ly much pleased with their part of
the late transaction. How did the
small dog impart the idea to the
large one?
On the Island of Borneo has been
found a certain IA of wild crea-
lures, of which kindred varieties
have been discovered in the Phillip
pine Islands, Terra del Fuego, and
in South America. They walk,
usually, almost erect, on two legs,
and i'm that attitude measure about
four feet in height. They construct
no habitations, form no families,
scarcely associate together, sleep in
caves, feed OF snakes and vermin,
on ants eggs, and on each other.
They cannot be tanned or forced to
any labor, and are hunted and shot
among the trees like the great
gorilla, of which they are a stunted
copy. When captured alive one
| finds with surprise that their un>
couch jabbering sounds are like
a~rticulate language. They turn up
a human face to gaze at their cap
tors, and females show instincts of
mOdesty. In fine, these wretcbed
beings are men and wOmen.-Siam

Mr.. j. X. BrOckingtOn, Of Black
Mingo, Williamsburg county, is re-
sponsible for the following snake
story: IA dog belonging to a
colored man, while trying to catch
. large and ferocious hog, was cut
or bit by the hog on the left side
just below the ribs, and out of the
orifice made by the hogs teeth
crawlsd two large snakes. One was
alive and apparently in perfect
health. The other was severed or
cut In two by the hogs teeth, and
of curse was dead. The color was
bright red, striped with blue inter-
mixed. They were about three feet
six inches long and two inches in
circumference. They were snakes
in every particular. The dog is
living and in its usual condition.

pose. The prima facie evidence
according to the journal of the last
Council, is that John Banner was
duly elected Treasurer. When
Banner presented his bond for APP
proval the Council had no right to
plead ignorance as to who was
elected, but they were bound to ex-
anime his bond, and if found sufi,
cient to approve it. What right
have they to know anything about
the testimony now being taken
in the Johnson-Baumer case
before that testimony is
officially placed before them for con-
sideration? If the Democratic ma
jority of the Council could arrogate
to themselves the right to ignore the
official canvassers i'm one case,
could they not do so with equal pro-
priety i'm another case? How did
they know that Chase was elected
Mayor, unless they came to that
knowledge by the record.
Looking upon the issue from
the legal standpoint, We must say
that this is a very dangerous pre-
cedent for any political party to
establish. The first principle of the
Republican form of government is,
that popular majorities rule. The
next and equally important princi-
pie is, submission to the decision OF
popular maiorities. Now, admit
ting for the sake of ar
gument, that Johnson die
