to St. Leu, to which place his own ashes were
in time removed from Italy. Tie eldest SON
of Louis, regarded by Napoleon as his heir,
and who died when but six years old, was at
first laid in St. Denis, but the Bourbons, when
they returned to France, had the body trans;
lated, and the "little Napoleon" now rests in
the same vault as his father and his grand
father. Jerome alone reposes under the dome
of the Invalides with his great brother; the
ashes of the other Bonapartes lie scattered
here and there, and are to be found at Rome,
Florence, Vienna, and Chiselhurst, and some
where in Calabria.
MARRIAGE The foundation Of every good
government is the family. The best and
most prosperous country is that which has
the greatest number Of happy fresides. The
holiest institution among men is marriage.
It has tsken the race Of countless ages to
come up to the condition of marriage. With
out it there would be no civilization, no hu-
man advancement, no life worth living for
Life is failure to any women who has not
secured the love and alteration of some good
man. Life is mockery to any man, no mat
ter whether he be mendicant or monarch, who
has not won the heart of some worthy wo.
man. Without love and marriage, all the
priceless Joys of this life would De as ashes
on the lips of the children of men.
"You had better be the emperor of some
loving and tender heart, and she the empress
of yours, than to be the king of The world"
The man who has really won the love of one
good woman in this world, it matters not
though he die in the ditch, beggar, his Life
has been success.
There is heathen book which says: "Man.
is strength, woman is beauty; man is cour-
age, woman is love-" When the one man
loves the one woman, and the one woman
loves that one man, the very angels leave
heaven and come and sit in the house, and
sing for Joy.
The CHINESE ARMY.-Although strong
in numbers, the Chinese army has at present
but little fighting value. The Chinese soldier
is naturally brave, and the men recruited in
the northern districts of the empire are full
of vigor and energy but the troops are prac-
tically totally uninstructed in military duties.
That this should be the case is probably
mainly owing to the inferiority Of the Chi.
nese officers. "They are" says a French
writer, "below all criticism )" and that they
are so must be ascribed to the low esteem in
which the profession of arms is held in China.
"You would not" runs a Chinese saying,
"take good iron to make into nails, and you
would not take man worth anything at all
to make into soldier" A man need not be
in any way educated to obtain commission;
but, on the other hand, he must be athlet-
ic. Carrying and throwing heavy weights,
the use of the sword and shooting with the
bow, both on foot and horseback, are the
subjects in which man desirous Of obtaining
a commission are examined. Under these
circumstances, it is no wonder that the Chi.
nese officer is as rule utterly ignorant Of
military art, while his men, knowing that, ne
is as ignorant as themselves, have but little
respect for him.
"HAvANA" CIGARS, FROM PAPE2.-The
straw paper manufacturers of the Chatham
portion Of Columbia county, N. T., have
for many years been aware that their pro-
duct has nearly all gone South, and been
used in Cuba as filters for cigars. None of
them manufacture specially with this end in
view, although their paper is well adapted
for "bogus" cigar making. The paper used
for the purpose indicated is of the ligltest
weight e to u lbs) it is possible to make.
There is one mill in. the country, located. at
Queechy (town of Canada), which manufac.
lures the straw paper expressly for wrap.
pers-not filters. The Queechy Paper Com
pany's paper mills is situated on creek but
a short distance below lake, and being at
the head of the stream, the water is of much
greater purity, and hence their ability to
produce the desired article of paper. The
straw paper used in filling the Havana cigars
is saturated with decoction prepared from
the stem and refuse of Havana seed leaf,
mingled with which are extracts of liquorice
root, SIENNA, etc. The paper is so skillfully
stamped to resemble the tobacco leaves, the
very veins Of the leaf being SO perfectly imita.

DIFFERENT CUsToMs.-In France they
have many customs which seem strahge to us.
In the hotels, all the ornamental functions in
the business are discharged by the Lady, while
the man does the hard work. 1t is the hus-
band who cooks and his wife who sits behind
the inn counter airing her smart silk gown
and cap.strings. Frenchmen aregreat kissers
and shakers Of hands, but the latter courtesy
is not practiced between sexes. A Frenchman
bows to lady without extending his palm,
and he would be thought very forward indeed
if he tried TO shake hands with an unmarried
lady. He might kiss a married lady, howev.
er, on New Years Day, or in an outburst of
great emotion or any other occasion, without
anybody-even the misunderstanding;
and he may embrace members Of bis own sex
at all times A French grown-up son kisses
his father, and alludes to him as "papa;"
and, as everybody knows, a son must ask his
"papa's" cvnsent to his marriage, no matter
how old he may be. Young Frenchmen
never propose in person; decorum requires
the offices Of third person. 1t is safe to
call all Frenchmen sit, and address all
French.wonen, even to the street trult-sellers,
as mademoiselle.
NAPoLEoNs s OLD HONE ON ST.. HELENA
The ex-Empress Eugene visited Napoleon's
Malmaison at St. Helena. Longwood House,
originally q farm belonging to the East India
Company, and prior to its being Napoleon's
prison the residence of the Lieuteuant-Gov-
ernor of the Island, has suffered so much
degradation, dilapidation, and so many vicis:l
situdes, that it bears not the slightest resem:
