discovery of the western continent.
This fact IL attested by the devotion
and zeal of a galaxy of men of genius,
such rs Humboldt, King borough,
Stephens, RAIN, and well nigh a

for the solution of this perplexing
problem many of them ingeniously

Napoleon's Treatment Of His Gen.
erals.

He was born a king, if to COM
mand the obedience of men be the
whole art of kingship, which may
perhaps be doubted. He seems in
general to have acted on the plan of
Frederick the Great; that is he de-
manded nothing but success from his
lieutenants, and was careless of the
means they took to obtain it. Only
failure he would never forgive. 1t
was a favorite saying of his that he
never judged men but by results. 1t
was to no purpose that Massena gave
excellent reasons for his defeat by
| Wellington; Napoleon wanted vic
tories, and not explanations. There
is a foolish story, to which so emf
neDt a man as Southey could give
credence, to the effect that Admiral
VilleBeuve was assassinatcd by order
of the Emperor after his disgrace at
Trafalgar. There can be no serious
doubt that the unfortunate COM
mander committed suicide in sheer
terror at the idea of an interview
with the stern master whose plans he
had caused to miscarry.
1t is fair to add that those of his
captains who we're successful had
no need to complain that their SER
vices were insufficiently appreciated.
Even Masscna had acquired an in
come of 100000 while his star was
in the ascendant Soult had 100000
year; Ney, $150,0OO; Davoust,
$1s0,OOO; while Berthier, Prince Of
Neuchatel, enjoyed princely reve-
nue. of some $27O,OOO. "They will
no longer fight" Napoleon ex-
claimed in moment of detection,
referring to his generals. Il have
made them too rich"
1t may be suspected that it was
rather from motives Of policy than Of
gratitude that Napoleon thus created
the fortunes of his marshals in a day.
He was anxious to establish as sup
port to his throne powerful aristoc-
racy, which in splendor and Ito do
him justice) in the brilliancy of his
achievements should rival the old no.
bility of France. He forgot, how
ever, that though monarchy and de-
mocracy can exist and have existed
without prescription. an alistocfacy
to be venerable must absolutely bear
the seal of antiquity. In none Of his
projects had Cromwell failed more
hopelessly than in his attempt to re-
construct the Houss of Lords in
England. Napoleon, it is true, dill
not propose to confer Legislative
functions on his no',les as such;
nevertheless he intendlsd them to be
a priyiledged class, and this alone

Earthquake in Connecticut.

An earthquake shock was felt in Con-
necIicut on July % The Hartford Post,
says that at COllinsyille the shaking lasted
about fifteen seconds. Windows were
shaken, dishes and lamps ratified, and as
it occurred early in the morning many
people spnng from their beds in terror.
There was low, rumbling noise, with
much vibration, such as might result from
the explosion Of a heavy blast near by.
At Winsted, the sound approached from
the north, with rumbliug, gradually in
creasing noise. 1t was as loud as an ordi-
nary clap Of thunder, and its force was
sufficient to shake windows, shut and open
doors, move loose articles, and considera-
bly, alarm many people. At New Hartford,
the shock was accompanied by rumbling
noise as of a heavy wagon proceeding over
a rocky roadway. Windows ratified and
houses were shaken so as to awaken the
occupants. In one house number of
pickle jars on shelf were broken. A
butcher who was out in the yard at the
time of the earthquake described the noise
as resembling heavy blast or large wall
falling. At Canaan, the vibrations Of the
earth seemed continuous, rather than of
distinct shocks. No property was injured,
but many people were awakened by the
jarring of the houses and the rattling of
windows and crockery At Litchfeld the
shock was first felt in low rumbling
sound, which was accompanied with heavy
tremor running through the ground. =
Dishes were ratified on the shelves, the
windows shook and many houses swayed
as if about to fall, Many persons were
awakened from sound sleep, and great
alarm was felt. One family was SO fright
ened that they fed from the house in alarm.
The shock was also felt in Waterbury,
Morris, Sandis6eld, Mass, Winchester
Centre, Waleottville, and over an area of
several hundred square miles in the north
western part of the State, which is a noun
famous district.

GOVERNOR GRooME's PosITIoY.
have the very best authority for stating
that the rumors which have obtained
currency through the press of this city,
that the withdrawal of Gov. Groome from
the contest for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton was in consequence of an understand
ing, expressed or implied, that he is to be
supported at some future time for some
political or other position, are wholly with
out foundation. A number of his leading
friends, representing several delegations in
the convention, after full interchange Of
views, were unanimously of the opinion
that, although he would receive large
vote, there was no possibility in any con
tingency Of securing his nomination. He
therefore withdrew his name to relieve his
friends from all obligation to waste their
strength in hopeless struggle on his be-.
half, and to enable the convention speedily
and tremendously to arrive at result.
The Governor intends at the expiration of
his official term TO resume the practice of
law, and neither expects nor desires again
to relinquish it to accept Office BAH
