Nannleon s Second Marriage.

A writer reviewing LaDfrey's His
toire de Napoleon 1. says The CIR
cumstances attending the divorce ot
Josephine and her husbands marriage
with Marie Louise are detailed at con-
siderable length by the author. On the
2Stb of December, 1909, before the
Metropolitan Tribunal had confirmed
the dissolution of the religious marriage
with Josephine, Caulalncourt, the
French Ambassador at st. Petersburg,
opened negotiations for the hand OF the
Grand Duchess ATne, sister OF the Gar.

Bohemianism.

Lads with love of literature who
fancy that it would be fine thing to be
a Bohemian like Savage and Chatterton
and DermOdy, had better think twenty
times before they rush into any such
folly. For, in the first place, if there
were no material points to be consid-
cred, beginners should take heed of the
waste of ability which the so-called
Bohemian life brings with it. They
will not find it pleasant at the end of
loose and unbrideled career to reflect
that they might have done much and
have done so ittle-a few verses, tale
or so, farce, few jokes in the comic
newspapers, and a miscellany of pen
and ink stuff forgotten in the reading.
OF course, their light performances
have creditable elements -brilliancy,
perhaps, humOr, good feeling, a suspi-
cion of high and honorable aspiration.
It Is generous, doubtless, for a writer
to put his best into his public writing,
and to reserve his worst for his own
daily life and conversation but such
iberality comes to no good at last. Bad
habits take away the power of good
work. Without their constant COM
paniOnship, man forgets what is in the
| books, Exigency will make him toler-
ant of his own hasty faults, and IN
mindful of the duty of doing his best
| for the mere sake of doing 1t. Sensual
pleasures will render the finest hand
| coarse in time. He who drinks beer,"
said Dr. johnson, thinks beer ;" and
the stronger the beer, the smaller the
thought, may be added. Moreover, a
want of method will make results frag-
mentary and quality unequal, while the
waste of precious time and the unlm-
proved S'once" of opportunity, will
crown the disaster of an ill-spent life.
Then will come. mems pity, harder to
bear than their reprOaches the sting OF

and at last death and the grave, with the

LATE NEWS SUMMARY.
EAST


- New England is suffering terribly
from drouth. Last month was the dryest on
record.
A dispatch from POttsville, Pa, says:
It is the general belief among the coal operators
and other well informed citizens that the min
ers' strike VIII end within fortnight at far
thest, and probably not outlast the present
week The final surrender of men will not be
simultaneous, but one colliery after another
will find enough ready to abandon the union
to begin operations. To protect them the as
sistance Of troops viii be needed until the
strike is definitely abandoned. The loss to
SchuylIdH county alone, from five months
suspension of all mining operations, is esti-
mated at ten millions, of which sum the men
lose five millions in wages. II they should
carry their point they could not make up this
loss by the difference between the old and the
proposed new wages in four years.

A DISPATCH of the 11th from Nor
folk, Va, says: Capt. Brown, of the
schooner 81. c." arrived here to-day
having in charge the iron safe of the
United States man of war Cumberland,
which was run into and sunk in Hamp-
ton Roads by the confederate ram Vir-
ginia in 1862. Divers have been at
work on the wreck ten years, having in
view the recovery of the safe. The
lucky man had only been at the wreck
forty eight hours, when he found the
safe buried IN three feet of mud. The
water at the place is seVenty-eight feet
deep. By the explosion of a torpedo
the safe was cracked and it was hoisted
on deck. A few pieces of gold coin
dropped out. It is generally believed
the safe contained between sixty and
one hundred thousand dollars gold.
The safe and treasure belong to Capt.
Brown and o. E. Moltby, of this city,
and Herbert Smith, of Detroit, Mich.
While Capt. Brown was searching the
wreck he came across a petrifed human
body in perfect state. The captain
supposes the body to be that of one of
the officers, and intends to return and
get it,
