Napoleon’s Horoscope. —Prof. Raphael,
of London, has for forty years been writ
ing on the subject of astrology. Last, year
ho set up what is called a figure of the
Heavens for the Nativity of Napoleon, cal
culated for 1870, which must have been in
print nearly a year ago, as it was issued to
the public on the first of January last.
The following; is taken from his Ephemeris:
“March— A very busy period. The Em
peror takes great action in State affairs,
both at home and abroad.”
“April as in March—Toward the close of
the month, Jupiter’s transit will cause some
priestly intrigues and interference with
State affairs, but as the month closes the
influence of Mars produces some great
military doings.”
“May—Yet greater activity in military
and State affairs.”
“June—Brings annoyances from public
men, meetings and military regulations,
e.c.; but nil will be overcome.”
“In July—Some warlike movements are
indicated, and should Prussia and France
cross swords this year, it will be at the cost
and sorrow of the former. This is not the
Emperor’s desire, but there are limits to all
reasonable restraints.”
“August—ls Napoleon is at war, woe to
his enemies.”
“September—Bring antagonistic influx
ences about the 7th, Bth and 9th ; but it is
quickly passed, and is followed by others,
conducing much to his honor and renown.
Mars, too, makes a notable good transit,
still increasing his prestige and honor.”
The spring quarter figure, set up by the
same astrologer (for January, February and
March of next year,) shows the war, and
says this in reference thereto: “The King
of Prussia suffers, and the influences are
onlculated to lay the last champion of di
vine right on a level with his most abject
subjects; should he outlive the influences,
many disastrous effects will befall his
family, government and nation.”— Sail
Francisco Examiner.
Beiiold! They are Blessed.— Blessed
is the man who doth subscribe for his home
paper, and pay therefor. Ilis feet shall
not stand on slippery places ; he shall not
be forsaken by his friends, or persecuted
by his enemies, nor his children caught
begging.
Blessed is he that walketh to the oflice of
the printer, yea. even goeth into his sane
turn, and paveth a year’s subscription in
advance. Selah!
He ihall learn wisdom day by day and
be exa'ted above his fellows.
He shall talk knowingly upon all sub
jects, and his neighbors shall be astonished
at the muchness of his learning.
lie shall not contract bad debts nor lose
good bargains.
He shall not pay an additional per cent,
on bis taxes, for his eyes shall behold the
notice of the collector, and he will take
warning thereby.
Verily he shall bring his produce to the
market when the prices are exceedingly
good, and withhold them when the prices
descend.
He shall not lay hold of a red hot poker
for his knowledge of metallurgy will teach
him that red hot iron burns.
Ilis children shall not vex him, nor his
wife get the Grecian bend.
He shall live to a good old age, and
his dying hour is at hand, he need not 'fear
the “devil.”
But for him who doth refuse to subscribe,
it were better that he were bound tightly
hand and foot and cast upon a feather bed,
and thero tickled to death by two pretty
girls. Selah.
An exchange tells an amusing anecdote
of a newly elected magistrate in one of the
rural districts, who had provided himself
with a form-book and thought himself,
with it’s aid, equal to any emergency.
Having been called upon to marry a
couple, he had recourse to this unfailing
fountain of knowlege and information but
doubting his capacity to repeat the service
from memory, he turned down a leaf. The
trembling couple stood in the august pres
ence of the magistrate, who, with book in
hand, thought himself equal to any emer
gency. Opening the volume where a leaf
was turned, in solemn and impressive tones,
he besran —“One day after date I promise”
—confusion ; he had open at the wrong
page. Considerably staggered, but still
resolved, he turned to another page—
“ Know all men by these presents.”—Here
to ke down and stood “for a time,” ut
r- \ aha-hed. Rallying, however with a
.rh i off in, fm slammed to the book, and
- r v demanded — Do you promise to do
- 11 in woman as other men do unto their
v «. 1 eln you God.

Col and c nitented a switching of her tail,
and I said to myself—Go thou and do like

Howto Treat Slander. —We once heard i
a story told of two men who started togeth
er one bright morning for a whole day’s
iourney. They soon became separated. I
lhe one reached his destination before the j
sun had sunk behind the western hills,
where he made himseif comfortable at the
ion. His only concern was trouble Tor his
laggard companion. lie thought surely
some evil mud have befallen him.
Long after dark his fellow-traveler arriv
ed. When asked the cause of his delay he
replied :*
“I was t bliged to stop at every other
iouse to whip off the unmannerly dogs that
■arked at me. Didn’t they bark at you
Ko?”
r “Yes.” replied the other, “but I did not
st p to whip them. I simply told them
th-.ri they were ill bred curs and drove on !”
We are generally loosers at the end, if
we st.p to refute all the back bitings ami
gossiping* miway hcarTuibe waj. They
are annoying, it is true, but not dangerous,
so long as we do not stop to expostulate and
scold. Our characters are formed and sus
tained by ourselves, by our own actions and
purposes, and not by others. Always bear
this in mind, that “calumniators may usiu
ally be trusted to time and the slow but
steady justice of public opinion.”
Wesley’s Dream. — YVe would advise
those who are sorely troubled and vexed in
spirit, lest, peradventure, they have not
found the true Church, to read the
ing vision of the celebrated Wesley, who,
at the time, was seriously troubled in re
gard to the disposition of each in reference to
future happiness and punishment:
A dream one night transported him in
its uncertain wanderings to the gates of
hell.
He asked a few questions.
“Are there any Roman Catholics here ?”
“Yes.”
“Any Presbyterians ?”
“Y r es. ”
“Any Baptists ?”
“Yes ”
“Any Congregationalists ?’’
“Yes,” again was the rejoinder.
“Any Methodists?” (by way of a clinch
er,) tisked the pious Wesley.
“Yes,” to his great indignation, was
answered.
In the mystic ways of dreams, a sudden
transition, and he stood before the gates of
heaven. Improving his opportunity, he
again inquired :
“Are there any Roman Catholics here ?”
“No,” was replied.
“Any Presbyterians ?”
* “No.”
“Any Methodists ?”
“No.”
“Any Baptists ?”
“No.”
“Well, then,” he asked, lost in wonder,
“who are they inside ?”
“Christians” was the iubilant answer.
How a Woman Keeps a Secret. — lfc is
an old quip upon women that they cannot
keep a secret; but the fact is, they are the
only part of humanity who can. A wife
keeps her husband’s secrets much better
than he does hers. We calculate there is
one drunken wife to about fuur hundred
and ninety-nine drunken husbands. In
gambling, licentiousness, lying, cheating,
hypocrisy, covetousness, there is pretty
much the same proportion. l r et, of the
four hundred and ninety-nine wives, four
hundred conceal, cover up, silently endure
the terrible secret; while the one husband
mourns over the frailty of his wife in the
study of his pastor, and to the ear of his
friend, and probably complains of it to a
court of law. It is the same between broth
er and sister. The secrets woman talks
about are of the kind that are unimportant,
and mostly agreeable to hear. That is our
observation, and in our relations of physi«
cian, minister, and unordained lawyer, we
have had room for a great deal of observa
tion.
A country girl once went into the city
to pay a visit to one of her best friends ;
this friend was married to a rich city mer
chant, and a leader of fashion. In city eti
quette, of course, the visitor was verdant,
and made numerous mistakes. Her friend
wished to initiate her into the ‘mysteries,’
and as they were going to a large ball, gave
her the the following instructions, viz :
‘Eat only one small cake and one saucer of
ice cream, and when your attendant press
es you to take more, answer that you have
masticated a sufficiency, and more would
be a superfluity.’ Things went on very
smoothly until her attendant asked her to
partake of more refreshments, when, to
the horror of her friend, and amusement of
the company, she answered, in a loud
voice : ‘I have evaporated insufficiently—
any more would go flippity-floppity.’

Justice is blind, as she is supposed to be;
and with her eyes bandaged, as they ought
to be, she sees no man, but judges all. No
man dares mention the word “bribe” in her
niaiestic presence. But, while she thus
presents such an awful front, the palm of
her mighty hand slips down by her side and
turns behind her—empty, eager, and sug
gestive.

WAR DOTS.
The Cincinnati Inquirer advises anybody
in want of fun to go to the German gardens
about eleven o’clock at night and shout
“Viva la Franee.”
When the lightning struck the officers’
ineß>» at Me*z, a few days ago, one of the
wounded captains exclaimed, “Million of
bombs! Providence is not observing strict
neutrality.”
A French can-can dancer ne.med Maire
was arrested as a spy the other day near
Bonigsberg. lie had been seen sneaking
around tho moats of the fortifications, but
proving that he had only endeavored to
catch frogs, he was set free.
American manufacturers of breach-load
ing rifles have received large orders from
various European governments within the
past few days, and the manufacturers of the
Gatling gun—the original milraillour, and
a far better one than the French gun—have
also received several large orders from Eu
rope. Thus American business reaps some
benefit from the war.
Fusilier Kraus, who killed the first
Frenchman, has received thirty thalers—
about five pounds—from Berlin. A natur
al feeling directs the current of patriotic
liberality rather towards the capture than
the slaughter of the enemy. The men who
bring in the first chasseur, or the first can
non, even the first will receive a
very large reward, both in money and
goods.
By the bombardment of Strasbourg one
of the most exquisite specimens of Gothic
architecture in the world is imperilled.
The noble cathedral, with its delicate and
marvellously beautiful spire, is exposed
to the enemy’s fire, It is not to be suppos
ed that this superb edifice will be wantonly
damaged, but experience slu ws that prom
inent religious edifices have not usually
escaped intact during bombardments.
Metz is full of the members of tho legion
for nursing the wounded. These gentle
men wear a red cross on a white ground,
on their left arm. The imperial printing
establishment has also arrived. Composi
tors, printers, and the “literary element,’’
all wear a green uniform, and some of them
very long swords which are continually
getting between their legs, in an exceed
ingly unmilitary fashion, much to the
amusement of the town’s folk.
The Paris Journal Official, of Sunday,
says the defence of Paris is assured. It
would take an army of halt a million to in
vest its fortifications, while 30,000 men
would suffice to defend them, and there are
troops enough now in and around the city
to furnish the necessary garrison. Then,
with the sailors from the fleet, which could
be procured, the Garde National, Garde
Municipal and the firemen, would make up
a solid army of 100,000. Paris is free from
danger.
The Courier des Etats tlnis gives the
following account of an invulnerable cuirass.
It is a cloth cuirass of a tissue extremely
supple and tight, the stitches of which are
exceedingly close and absolutely imperme
able. The process of making and prepar
ing it is a mystery, but what appears to be
claimed is that bullets will not penetrate
it. The inventor himself is said to have
stood the test of this. Clothed in a sort of
flannel vest, very light, he received the
charge of a gun without experiencing so
much as a bruise. This belongs to the
class of “important if true.”
It is a curious fact, of which no really
satisfactory explanation has ever been giv
en, that as firearms are rendered more and
more deadly, war becomes less and less
destructive of human life. At Borodino the
loss was one-third of all the men engaged.
At Waterloo it was one-fourth. At Inker
man, where there was neither a rifle cannon
nor a breech loader on the field, the English
lost one third. At Magenta and Solferino,
with vastly better weapons, the casualties
were one eleventh ; at Chattanooga, one
thirteenth : while at Koniggratz, where tho
terrible needle-gun caused such consterna
tion, the losses were only one-twenty-third.
Well Said —Those wiseacres Who are
betting their money upon cither army’s
being in Paris or Berlin in fifteen days,
should remember the numerous drafts on
Richmond at 90 days. The French have
now upward of half a million of men to
cover their capital, which is itselt protected
by gigantic fortifications. Should Napole
on lose two or three more great battles, it
is more than probable that he may lose his
throne also. But if the French Republic
should then call upon her sons wtih the cry
of 1792, “La Pxtrie est en danger the tfi
colored flag may start once more upon its
tour of Europe while thrones and dynasties
go down crumbling in the dust before it.
England and America.— At dinner, the
other day, the conversation fell upon forti
fications and strongholds, when I ventured
the remark that any fortified place in the
world could be taken, Gibraltar and Cron
stadt not excepted.. A friend of mine, who
had been in Russia, doubted if Cronstadt
could ever be forced to capitulate. One of
the party sustained my view, and inquired
if the English during the Crimean war did
not at one’ time think serioulv of attacking
the place. My friend admitted that they
did. “Well, then,” said the other, “the
Americans could compel its surrender.
What the English could seriously of think
beseiging we should be pretty d —d certain
to take.”
llow Napoleon Lives in Camp.— The
Emperor, imitating the example of the
Duke of Wellington, is going to set an ex
ample to lirs army rn the way of abnegation
and endurance. “For a sovereign to make
war properly,” he says, ‘he must make
it as a sub-lieutenant,” and has accord
ingly determined that he shall be waited
upon by only a single valet de chumbre,
and that his table shafll be confined to whst
is strictly necessary. lie refuses even the
ordinary comfort of a tent to shelter him
from the caprices of the weather. “What
need have we of tents?” he c aid, when the
matter was discussed. “We are'going to a
country where we shall have a ebafne'o cf
meeting with houses, and after all we shall
always have the pillage des caches and a
clOak to cover us.” This is the true spiric
to begin a campaign in, and it cannot fail
to arouse the enthusiam of the army to the
highest point.
