DUKE DE R7lcHsTApT.

The recently published journal Of Mr.
Chas. Greyille furnishes some interest,"
ing particulars regarding the son Of Ma
poleon I, which were communicated to
the author by Prince Esterhazy. 1t is
we'll known that the ill.fated Duke of
Riechdadt died of consumption at the
early age OF twenty-one, and the idea
has been generally entertained that the
physical feebleness from which he suf-
fered through all his life was accompa-
MED by corresponding weakness of
mind. Later historians, however, es-
Gaping from the prejudices that affected
the contemporaries Of Napoleon /, have
corrected this impression, declaring that
the boy posse ssed vigorous intellect,
with great intensity offeeling; and that
had his life been prolonged, be would
undoubtedly have played conspicuous
pant in the world's history. This opin
ion is corroborated by the evidence of
Prince Esterhazy, who says the Duke
was gifted with uncommon talents and
possessed a towering ambition. He
adored the name of his father, and re-
scented with bitterness the Indifference
with which Maria Louisa regarded the
fate of the Emperor, by whom her shall.
low nature had never been deeply stir

The Duke sxlnced great affection and
gratitude for his grandfather, Franz /,
who endowed him with the state and
revenues of an Austrian prince, and bad
him tenderly reared and highly educa-
ted. Although the kaiser scrupulously
observed his obligations to Louis Phil
lippe, he secretly admired the genius
and ambition which the son had inheri-
tel from Napoleon. The boy delight
ed in military exercises, and had his
fathers art of ingratiating himself with
the soldiers, who had held him as their
idol His thoughts were icessantly up.
on France, and he poured day and
night over the history of the Emperor's
splendor. When he heard of the fight
of Louis XVIII, he exclaimed, with
poignant regret, "Why was 1 not there
to take my chance !"
A single anecdote repeated by Ester
hazy shows that the absorbing passion
of the Dukes soul overpowered all the
propensitles of his age. He was to make
his first appearance at ball al Lady
Cowley's(to which he had shown great
anxiety to go), and was burning with
impotence to amuse himself with dan.

but there he met two FRENCH marshals
-Marmont and Maison. He had no
eyes oreea' but for them; from nine in
the evening to five in the morning he
devoted himself to these marshaIs and
conversed with them without ceasing.
Though he knew we'll enough all the
odium that attached to Marmont, he said
to him that he was too happy for havS

details of his earlier Idays. Marmont
subsequently either did give, or was to
give him, lessons in strategy.

A Kiss IN SEMINARY LANeyAGE.-A
young lady in the east end, who has
just returned from completing her eduS
cation in Boston, wanted to kiss her old
lover last night, and her mother objec-
ted. The daughter drew up her queen
ly form to its full height and exclaimed:
Mother, terrible, tragical, and retribu,
tive will be the course pursued by me
if you refuse to allow him to place his
alabaster lips to mine, and enrapture
my immortal soul by imprinting angel
ic sensations OF divine bliss upon the
indispensable member of my human
physiognomy, and then kindly allowing
me to take a withdrawal from his be
nifcent presence" The mother feebly
admitted that her objections were pver~
ruled. Gin. Zinaes.

AGED BEAUTIES.


History is full of the accounts of the
fascinations of women who were no
longer young. Thus Helen Of Troy
was over forty when she parpetrated
the most famous elopement on record,
and as the siege of Troy lasted decade
she could not have beer very Juvenile
when the i'll fortune of Paris restored
her to her husband, who is reported to
have received her with upquestioning
love and gratitude Pericles welded
the courtesan Aspasia when she was
thirty-six, and yet she afterwards for
thirty years or more welded an un'
diminished reputation for beauty
Cleopatra was past thirty when Antony
fell under her spell, which never
lessened until her death, nearly ten
years after; and Liyia was thirty three
when she won the heart Of Augustus,
over whom she maintained her ascen-
dancy to the last. Turning to more
modern history, where 1t is possible to
verify dates more accurately, we have
the extraordinary Diane de Poiters,
who was thirty six when Henry II.
(then Duke of Orleans, and just half
her age) became attached to her; and
she was held as the first lady and most
beautiful woman at court up to the
period of the monarch's death and the
accession to power of Catherine of
Medicis. Anne of Austria was thirty
eight when she was described as the
handsomest queen of Europe, and
when Buckingham and Richelieu were
her jealous admirers. Mon de n'Enclos,
the most celebrated wit and beauty of
her day, was the idol ofthree genera
tons of the golden youth of France,
and she was seventytwo when the
Able de Berais fell in love with her.
True it is that in the case of this lady
rare combination of culture, talents,
and personal attractions endowed their
possessor seemingly with the gifts of
eternal youth. Rianco Capello was
thirty eight when the Grand Duke
Francisco of Florence fell captive to
her charms, and made her his wife,
though he was five years her junior

non when she was fortySthree years of
age. Catherine H. of Russia was
thirty three when she seized the empire
of Russia, and captivated the dashing
young General Orloff. Up to the time
of her death Cat sixty seyen) she Sc emed
to have retained the samei bewitching
powers, for the lamentations were
heartfelt among all those who had ever
known her personally. Mdle. Mars,
the celebrated French tragedienne, only
attained the zenith of her beauty and
power between forty and forty-five.
At that period the loyeliqess of her
hands and arms especially was cele-
brated throughout Europe. The famous
Mdme. Recamier was thirty eight when
Barras was ousted from power, and she
was without dispute declared to be the
most beautiful women in Europe, which
rank she held for fifteen years.-Picto-

1HE MOON AS A 1ABITATIoN.-A
hundred years ago the existence Of life
on the moon was holly debated, and a
majority of semi>scientific people took
the affirmative of the question. 1t
seemed impossible to them that the
beautiful orb should be vacant globe.
But the progress Of telescope construc
ton has left no doubt on the subject.
Says a recent writer in The British
Quarterly Review: o.a go
'0ur inquiry resolves itself into a
kind of inquest upon the moon, and
after listening to number of witnesses
we are compelled to admit that the
theory of intelligent occupation dies a
violent death. Fire, air, earth and
water haye all declared against it. The
tyrannous heat which burns by day,
and the curdling cold which desolates
by night, are alike hostile to vitality
The meagre or utterly missing atmos.
phere forbids the supposition that life
exists unless we can believe that flesh
and blood are able to flourish in vacuo.
The rocky surface of the orb, which
is clothed by no ascertained deposits of
soil, appears as unfayorable to fertility
as a macadamized road and the want
of water-the very life's blood of our
own globe-seelns to exhaust all hope
that rational creatures, bearing any
marked resemblance to ourselves, can
possibly tenant so unfinished world"

DIR. Rurner,s Lecture.
UHIUT UUUUI IT.
Middlebury, Vt.

The Opera House, last evening, was
crowded to hear DIR. Burners first lecture.
The stage and the walls of the hall were
profusely hung with charts and diagrams,
representing the various parts of the
human body.
DR.. Burner stated that nearly all disease
is caused by ignorance of the laws which
govern the human frame. One fourth OF
the American children die before they arc
ore year old. Three-fourths of the people
suffer and take patent medicines the
American people pay 100000 to doctors
and $50, 900 to druggists for these medl-
cines and all because of our ignorance OF
our own bodies. AS sometimes taught,
physiology is dry, but stripped of its tech
nical terms as the lecturer endeavors to
| give it, it is one of the most interesting
subjects Each of the lectures will be OF
some special department of physiological
science. The subject for this evening is
"The skin, the hair and the use of til,
both"
The skin is composed of two parts, the
cuticle or outer skin, composed of dry
| dead animal matter without nerves o.
blood circles, and the "cutis" or true Skin
beneath. The skin may become diseased
by pressure on any part as, for example
corns and bunions, which are caused by
wearing boots either too large or too small
The wayto escape corns is to have you
boots made to order, and sure the,
fit perfectly. No two men have the sam
shaped foot any more than they have tn
same shaped face. English ladies hav
their boots made by measure entirely, an,
with thick broad soles. The result is the
walk six miles day with ease.
The complexion depends on the amour
of pigmentary matter deposited between til
cuticle and the cuts. Persons who drin
strong tea and coffee always have dar
compilations.
The importance of daily bathing wi

Every generation is growing weaker and
