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. ' . yi.nq 'Citirri'RE.-A g>o 1 o’d lady r-ved e'en pportuuity to teach ; v o.q.r and exampie. once remarked at r v-r me ring— * My friends, as I came I saw a cow a switching of her tail, in rh-- ' teked world of strife she was peace- Col and c nitented a switching of her tail, and I said to myself—Go thou and do like wise-” 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.’ Information Wanted. The National Democratic Executive Committee desires to obtain the name and post-office address of the Chairmen of all State and County Committees ; also, that of all Democratic and Conservative candidate for Congress. This information is desired to enable the Committee to supply documents, &c., to any locality. The address should be sent to lion. Samuel J. Randall, Chairman, Washington, D. C. All Democratic papers throughout the country are desired to copy this notice. 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. A Punster —.Jerrold said one day he wojld make a pun upon anything hrs friends would put to him. A triend asked him whether he could pun upon the signs of thez >diac ; to which he promptly replied, “By Gemini, I Cancer.” Black-eyed ladies are said to be passion* and jealous. Blue-eyed—soulful, nf* fectionate and confiding. Gray-eyed— philosophical, literary, resolute, cold-heart ed. Hazel-eyed—quick-eyed, quick-tem pered and fickle. 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.
