Napoleon is a small man, hrlght-cyed,
with grayish hair, nnd whilst Ida por
traits resemble him, they all flatter him.
He 1b neither, of a.commanding pres
ence, nor does lie seem to lie a man of
power. Perhaps, however, ho only
shows himself truly great on great oc
casions, yet certainly ho does not ap
pear to bo more than the ordinary stylo
of mortals, i Ho makes tho best show
ill: his uniform on horseback, nnd is
said to bo Olio or tho first horsemen of
Europe. He rides a good deni about
Peris, attended by guards, but just
now spends the.most of his tlmo at Fon-
taiublcmi or Chalons. Ho liows pro
foundly to : all who pass him, nnd takes
a lively. interest in everything connect
ed with France. His face, however, is
care-worn mul sad, ha dues not look
like a happy man j nor docs it seem
as if ho eared so muoli now as 1m form
erly did about tho pleasures of royal
ty. Perhaps Napoleon would not bo
sorry if lie could get bnck to private
life, and be able to move about with
out fear of assassination. He is sixty
now, and his hopes are centered in tno
Princo Imperial, a royal prodigy X
have not had tho pleasuro of seeing.—
The Empress Eugenie is a faded beau
ty, of magnifluent flguro and full of
the sweetest smiles for every ono whose
eye catches hers. With excellent tact
she surrounds herself only with ugly
maids of honor, null I am told she ex
erts her woman’s privilege quite roy-
nlly by being in mi almost perpetual
quarrel with her husband.
- The Queen of England has for some
time censed to bo tho goldendiilireil
mid blooming damsel tlm painters and
coiners would represent her. She Is a
matron with a large family of children
mid grand-children, and her photo
graphs, as usual, flutter her. Victoria,
just now, is said to chiefly Oooiipe her
self in regulating,the Prince of Wales,
They,are constantly ul war.
, ||MPrince, who lias spent the gi cat-
er.pm t of the past year in cultivating
nil elaborate pair pf aide whiskers, is
unajilo to please his mother,,and liio
result is Hint every qneedn-a whllu she
turns him out of some of tile royal res
idences. She also adopts every possi
ble plan.to ran him in debt. b\ forebig
upon him tho expense of court enter-
Iniiiraeiits that siiu ought in pay her
self. It is linrd to tell what is ihu enn.c
of all tins ill-blood bi-uveeu inolhei and
son, but it is Ihu common gossip of
England, and Ihu sympathy seems to
bo thoroughly with tliu I’rinee. Thu
Q-iccn. when most sulky, p.migea her
self into the deepest recesses of Scot
land. Tim Prince does not seem to
care much about il, but does the best lie
cun to support tlm social duties devolv
ing nil Ihu royal family, whilst to fill
Ids purse, Parliament vales him extra
money. Decidedly tlm best one of the
English reigning family is Urn l’rin-
cesa of Woles, now the mother of four
children, who isnlwajscheerful, pleas
ant mill popular,.still good looking,
and who hopes some' day to win her
husband back from the loose vumpnny
he unfortunately keeps.
The Influonoo of Home.
Of all tlm schools there Is none like
that of home; anti of all touchers, ei
ther good or evil, there is none like
the mother. Her conduct is ever be
fore tlm child as his example; her
words tire the seed falling upon the
virgin soli, and producing a luxuriant
harvest, either, of goutl or evil. It is
not iu tlm power of her instructions to
make him a great man, for that is gen
erally determined by a Inw of the Uod
of Nature; but if Im inherit talents,she
may probably add to them that virtue,
without which more talent is a splen
did deformity. If ha be destitute of
extraordinary gifts of genius, tlm great
er should be Iter effort to develop, in
tlmir strongest growth, such powers ns

of industry, system and poreevereneo;
above all, to jmbilm him with iovo to
God and love to man, so that, iflm lie

The Spirit 6t the South:
Tho whole capital' of tlm' Radicals
in tlm present canvass is derived from
tho misrepresentation nnd perversion
of remarks made hy Democratic ora
tors, so as to glvo them the aspect of n
warlike or rebellious tendency—a pur
pose to resort to violent measures to
accomplish their objects. In iliost of
the remarks cited there is downright
fraud and falsehood. What tim Radi
cal demagogues charge was cither nev
er uttered ortlm sense of what'was'
oaid is so wrested from tlm- real mean
ing of the speaker, or ! So grossly per.
verted as to give nn apparent sanction
to the calumny that Violent and bellig
erent designs were in contemplation hy
persons who arc presumed to speak for
tlm Democracy.
Now, all tills is shamefully mendn-
cloes and hypocritical. The Doinoi
cratic party is the party which is tim
most interested in peaceful and civil
measures, nnd in tho restoration of the
oitl modes of determining political Is
sues. Whoover appeals to violence,
or'suggests' a resort to 'any but tlm
constitutional methods of achieving
political ends, is nil enemy tci tlm aut>
cess nnd objects of that party: It is
to get rid of all.such revolutionary and
irregular purposes; to In-ilig back the
Government to tlm character and usa
ges of its founders; to rellero it and
tlie people from military bondage, nnd
subject them to llic control of opinion,
moral iiluis, and a.pnrcl.v civil admin.

Beautiful Passage.
Tlm following is from tlm “Reveries
of a Bachelor,” by Ike Matvei: -
“A poor man without some sort, of
religion is, nt best; a poor reprobate,
the loot-ball of destiny, wllji no tie
linking him to infinity' and tlm won
drous eternity that is even .worse, a
flairio without heat, a rainbow with

A man may, in some sort, tie ids hopes
and honoi's to this weak, shifting ground
tackle; in Ids business, ortho .world;
but a woman without that anchor call
ed faith, is a drift ami a wreck. A
man may clumsily continue a sort of
moral responsibility; out of relation to
mankind, but woinuu, in her compara
tively isolate sphere, where affection
and-not motive, can find' no basis In
any other systoin, or right netfbn hut'
that of faith. A man may cr.aza his
bhtiff, or Ids thoughts to trustful
ness iu such ppor harborage ns fame
and reputation may stretch'' before
him, but a woman—where can she put
her hopes, in storms, if not iii Heaven?
And the swe t trustfulness—that abid

with energy, and hallow it with a tear?”
Chinese. Juggloya,
A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes from Canton,:China:
Struct Jugglers and mtmulebunks
abound,in Canton, and in fautin every
Chinoso city. One fellow performed a
number of feals in front of our hotel
which demand from me more than a
passing notice. , Ho stationed himself
in tlie centre of tlie street, and having
blown a blast iipou a bugle to giyo
warning that he was about tolicgiu liis
entertainment, he took u small ieuion
or orange tree, whioh was covered with
fruit, uud balanced it upon his heat].
He then bluw a sort of chirruping whis
tle, when immediately a number of
rice-hirils came from every direction
and sottlod upon the boughs of the
bush lie balanced or.Uiitterud about bis
heud. Uu then took a cup in his hand
and begun to rattle some seeds in it,
when tliu birds disappeared. , Tubing
a small bamboo tube, ha next took the
seeds, auc) putting one iu it blew it ut
ouc of the fruit, wilicli opened and out
flew one of tliu birds, which fluttered
about the circle surrounding the per
former. lie continued to shoot Ids
seeds at the oranges until nearly a
dozen birds were released, He thon
removed the tree from his forehead,
ami setting it down took up a dish
which lie held above Ids head, when
ull the birds flew in)n it. He then cov
ered it over with a cover, ami giving it
a whirl,or two about his head, opeued
it and displayed-a quantity of eggs,
the shells of which lie hi-nko with a
little slick, releasing n bird from euoli
8liell. The trick was neatly performed,
and defied detection from' my eyes.
