People in France, it is reported,
are already beginning To urge
the claims of the American Bona
partc for the vacant place ofpreten-
der for the imperial throne. Col.
Jerome Napoleon Bonapart, OF Bal
timore, is certainly the legitimate
head of the family, and nothing
stands in the way of his general
recognition as such but the will OF
Napoleon the Great aud il decision
of IA French court, which WAS doubt
less packed by Napoleon Ill. His
half brother, Jerome Napoleon
Plon), is not popular man III
France and in spite of his marriage
with the daughter of Victor Eman'
uel of Italy, has no influence even
with the friends of his family. 1t
would he IA singular thing, indeed, il
after all, the grandson of the betray
ed and deserted Betsy Patterson
should yet occupy the throne OF that
iron man of destiny who treated hel
so cruelty.

Some letters of Greeley's written
prior to the campaign of 1860, have
been published by Pike, a Maine
editor, to whom they were addressed.
and prove very Interesting reading.
just before the Chicago Convention,
when, with him, it was any man to
beat Seward, lie wrote: "But !
don't care what is done about the
nomination. know what ought to
be done. and, having set that forth,
am content. stand in the position
of the rich old fellow, who having
built q church entirely out of his
own means, addressed his townsmen
thus:
I've built yon Westinghouse
And bought you a bell;
Now 20 To meeting
Or go to H."

Mirage in Colorado:

Alfred Terry Bacon, vino has been
making a tour of Colorado, gays that the
great altitude Of that region, the ex-
treme dryness of the air aud earth, aud
the proximity of the mountain chain,
make conditions on which depend the
movements of the air and changes of

nomena th2t surprise the visitor. The
towns Of Evans and Greeley, ia that

PIaring with Firearms.

One of those practical jokers who
point firearms supposed not to be load
ed, at persons sin fun, was treated ac-
cording to his deserts in Iowa recently
The humorous gentleman in question
undertook to frighten a lady neighbor
with a revolver. HE weapon somehow
went Off, and the lady died OF the fright.
The court thought this was manslaugh-
ter, and sent the joker to prison for a
year to give him an opportunity for re-
Aection The despair OF the unfortunate
man, his threats of killing himself, and
his violence, necessitating the tying him
with ropes, when lie discovered his mis-
take, we're not deemed of sufficient ac-
count to dispense with the restraint Of
the prison. The prisoners counsel re-
quested the court to charge the jury that
he was not bIamable if his act was what
any man Of ordinary prudence and cau-
ton might have done. The court de-
clined, observing: No jury would be
warranted in finding that men of o,dina-
ry prudence so conduct themselves. HUI
man life is not to be sported with by the
use Of firearms, even though the person
using them may have good reason to be,

gage in such reckless sport they should
be held liable for the consequences OF
their acts,
