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 im does possess; to teach him the value of industry, system and poreevereneo; above all, to jmbilm him with iovo to God and love to man, so that, iflm lie not fitted to command, Im may learn to bo a useful citizen, a good man, honest in Ids dculiiigs, charitable to tlm poor, true to Ids friends, nnd forgiving to liiscnemies.

Tlm Radicals have spent half u million of dollars in this e.celion, ' MAu'cettiw Empbt. 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.

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].

The Masonic Convention at St. Louis,—A St. Louis dispatch of, Sep tember 15th, says: Tlio parade of Knights Templar this morning was one of the fiuqst end most interesting events that ever occurred here. Over thirty comninnderies were in tho pro cession, representing about twenty States. A still greater number would Imve been present liut for tlio detention or sfearaers and railroad trains. The streets along tho line of march were thronged with spectators, who greeted tlie delegations with cheers, waving of handkerchiefs, nnd other manifesta tions of welcome. The council unani mously tendered tlie hospitalities of tlio city to tlio various visiting delega tions.
