The First Meeting Of Napoleon and
Eugene.


At ball given by Louis Napoleon
(when PresdenO at the Elysee some
nights before the comp d'ctat, Mdlle.
Eugene met her future Emperor and
husband. The manner OF meeting was
somewhat romantic. Louis Napoleon
did not care much for the rush Of ball
rooms and he had chosen a propitious
moment TO escape with his friend Ed
ward Ney, (the Duke of La Moskewa),
into the Elysee Gardens. when he sud-
denly came upon radiant, blushing
girl, who was tying up her hair oppo-
site glass in the conservatory. Her
hair had come down turing waltz,
and the crowd was too great to admit Of
her reaching the ladies' dressing groom,
so that she glided in here, hoping to be
unobserved. Louis Napoleon seeing
her in this strait, CALAMITY offered her
his arm and led herround by the private
apartments to the dressing-room i'm
question, and from this time there was
mutual regard between Napoleon and
the fair stranger.
During the following twelve months
Madame de Montijo and her daughter
were invited guests at the Presidential
residences-Fontainbleau, Compeigne,
ST. Cloud-and it escaped nobody that
the Prince paid Mdlle. Eugene an inor-
dinate amount of attention. No one
supposed, however, that these atten-
tons could end in marriage, for the
President, having performed his coup
o'etdt, was on the point of becoming
Emperor, and il was no secret that his
ambassador at Munich was irving TO
arrange "A match for him with princess
OF Bavaria.
The King of Bavaria refused 20 give
away his relative TO prince whom he
styled an "adventurer, and then il was
that Louis Napoleon, much mortified at
heart, resolved not to expose himself to
further rebuhs in counting royal prin-
cesSes. Possibly Madame de Montiio
had been waiting her opportunity; for
two days before the Bavarian snub had
begun To get bruited, she asked pri-
waite audience Of the Prince. and told
him that, rs his attentions to her daugh-
ter were beginning TO excite comment,
she had the intention of leaving France.
This was at st. Cloud. where the mo-
Their and daughter were both staying.
The Prince asked Madame de Montijo
to tarry one day more, for he might
have something 10 say to her; and lie
these twenty-four hours in
acquainting his Ministers of his inten-
ton TO marry Aldlle. Eugene. The
news fell upon them like shell. Moth
ing of this kind had been apprehended
by any one, and Count de Morny, Count
de Persigny and Edward Ney earnestly
implored the Prince not to contract
such Desdlliance. The communica-
ton was made to the Cabinet on the
25th of November. On the ID of De-
rember the Prince was proclaimed En-
peror; on the ID of January the coming
was officially notified TO the
French people, and on the 30th Of Jan
nary il was solemnized at Notrc Dame.

onions, simply common onions, raw,
but Spanish onions stewed will do.
Every body knows the taste of onions;
this is due TO a peculiar essential oil
contained in this most valuable and
healthful root. This oil has, am sure,
highly soporific powers. In my own
case they never fail. If ] am much
pressed with work and feel / shall not
sleep, eat two or three small onions,
and the effect is magical. Onions are
also excellent things to eat when much
exposed to intense cold. Mr.. Parnaby,
Troutdale fishery, keswick, informs
me that, when collecting salmon and
trout eggs in winter, he finds that,
common raw onions enable him and his
men TO bear the ice and cold Of the
semi-frozen water much better than
spirits. beer, etc. Finally, if "A person
cannot sleep, it is because the blood is
in the brain, not in his stomach the
remedy, therefore, is obvious, call the
blood down from the brain to the stom-

ing the day than during the night for the
sake OF the sick. The absence of smoke,
the quiet, all tend to making night the
best time for airing the patients. One of
our highest medical authorities on con.
sumption and climate has told me that the
air in London is never SO pure as after ten
O'Clock at night"
The practical feature Of the article is the
recommendation Of plan of ventilation
which the writer has used with great sue
cess. Ii the basement is dry and eligible
he constructs tresh-air chamber, board
ing it off under the staircase hall, and
carefully cleanses, whitewashes and puri-
fies 1t, at the same time isolatng it from
any connection with the usually damp air
OF basement. He gives it ample COM
munlcatlon with the open air, drawing the
supply from untainted sources, and be-
tween the chamber and the hall arranges
communication by means Of an ornament
al iron grid" Immediately under this
grid" in the air-chamber he places a
large, slow-combustiOn coke or German
stove, and this sets system of ventilation
at work by merely lighting and adjusting
the fire. With this simple continuance he
claims the following results: "a grid
with clear opening of two to two and a
half feet square, through which air is sent
at the rate OF three feet per second, will
change the entire atmosphere of an ordi-
nary London house every hour; and a
good sized coke or well-cOnstructed Ger
man stove will heat this volume of air
from IS to 20 deg, and maintain a tenn
perature throughout such house Of so to

AS one OF the most important conditions
of the health of the community, this sub
ject deserves universal attention. There
is no practice more common, particularly
among the poor, than that OF excluding
air, especially the night air, under the de-
fusion that it is unhealthy, when in reali-
ty they are shutting out healthy, life Civ
ing oxygen and breathing the poison of
carbonic acid gas. The subject is one
which should command the attention Of
builders and architects more than it does
Tenants may do much to make their
homes healthy by the admission Of fresh
air and its proper tempering, but they can
do still more if houses are constructed
with reference to making perfect ventila-
tioin possible. We pass laws compelling
people to make houses tire-proof and Sc
cure from the danger of tumbling to
pieces, but make no provision whereby
builders shall erect with reference to the
simple laws of health, although there is
more danger in unventilated than in inse
cure houses. With regard to churches
and public halls these remarks have still
more force, for IN these large crowds are
exposed to the slow but fatal poison of
carbonic acid s.-CAicaqo Tribune.

of the primary department ranks, SO faf
as salary is concerned, equally with teach

ly exhausts both mind and body as the
teaching of little children-an assertion
which all who have tried it will heartily
accept. When, then, at the annual school
meetings soon to be held in the school dis
tricts all over the country the question Of
taxes for the payment Of the teacher is dis
cussed, let voters remember that the
best teacher is none too good for the
youngest children; that cheap and
poor teacher will in the end be most eX
pensive, and that no money is SO well in
vested as that put into thorough and
liberal education. Next to the mother the
teacher holds the reins of influence and
power, and can mold the hearts and minds
intrusted to her care almost as she will
No mere money can compensate her toll,

feel that so far as money can pay her she

In his recent address at Providence,
President Robinson, of Brown University,
said: Teaching is learned profession,
because teachers should be learned men
Learned in broad sense, that they may
be fitted to use the instruments of their
profession in the right manner. The
more teacher knows the more competent
he is to teach; the better fitted he is even
TO teach the elements of knowledge"
Those who provide teachers for and those
who teach the little children should pom

Fertility that is paid for; that alone is the
value. The rest is mere sand, or clay, or

should be to secure his material as cheap

good working order mellow, well drained
and clean. Instead of this we are too apt
to abuse the machine. The object of the
farmer, then, must always be, manure

cheapest, and work it best into grain,
grass, etc., and thence into other products,
such as are Of most advantage to him.
