Napoleon arrived at St. Helena October 15, 1815, in the ship Northumberland, com manded ny Sir George Cockbnrn, and was attended by General and Mme. Bertrand, General and Mme. Montholon, Count Las Cases,, General Gougaud and suite. The next day he went ashore, and stopped over night in Jamestown, and on the following day the Emperor, in company with Admi ral Cockburn and Count Bertrand, visited Longwood,.the place which had been se lected for his future residence, the house intended for him being then occupied by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Island. The Emperor requested permission to stop in a building called the “Briars,” which request, was granted, and he remained there a little over two months. From the “Briars” he was removed to Lougwood and there occu pied what is known as the “Old House.” In 1819 the British Government- commen ced the erection of a large, commodious residence for his reception, but before it was finished Napoleon I. was no more. On the oth of May, 1821, the conqueror of a hundred battles, creator of krngs and princes, the legislator and hero of the age, died at Longwood, aged fifty-two years. The dis ease which caused his death is alleged by some to have been hereditary ulceration of the stomach, and by-others, gastro-hepatitis. On the 8th of May he was buried iu Saue Valley, Longwood. The Governor, Admi ral and staff, all the garrison and about one- half the population of the Island attended the funeral. The pail-bearers were Count Bertrand and Montholon, Mershand (the faithful valet of the Emperor), and young Napoleon Bertrand. The household of the late Emperor sailed for England May 21st, 1821, on the storeship Camel. On the 8th of October, 1840, Prince de Joinville and suite, including General Bertrand, Montho lon. Baron Las Casas, former companion of Napoleon’s exile, arrived at St. Helena in the frigate La Belle Poule, accompanied by the corvette, Favorite, for the purpose of conveying the remains of the Emperor to Frauce; and on the 15th of October, at midnight, just twenty-five years from the day he lauded, the exhumation took place, the coffin was lifted, and conveyed to a tent, ‘where it was opened and the remains fully identified, being but a little changed in appearance from what some of the mourners had gazed upon nearly twenty years before. The coffin was then closed, and the remains were deposited, with fune ral honoas, in the La Belle Poule, which sailed for France on the 18th of October. Upon their arrival in Paris, the mortal re mains of the First Napoleon were deposited under the dome of the Invalides, where they still remain. From all accounts, his life here was most dreary. Among the ar chives of ihe island are the original papers that were to have been sent lo France, giv ing plans of easy lauding places and the manner in which be was to have been res cued; but through the inquisitiveness of his valet’s parents, the papers fell into the hands of the Governor, Sir Hudson Lowe. After that, the strict surveillance and in dignities that were heaped upon him broke the spirit and heart of the man that had defied the world. The original paper from the King of England, ordering that Napo leon should be addressed as General and j not Emperoj, is still here. By ordinance of Sir Edward Drummond Hay, Governor of St. Helena, dated March 18, 1858. rati fied and confirmed by order of the Queen, May T, 1858, the lands iu the Itiand of St. He’ena forming the site of the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon, also the lands forming the site of the tenement of Lougwood and its appurtenances, formerly the residence of Napoleon, was vested in his Majesty the late Napoleon III. and his heirs forever, as absolute owners thereof in fee simple. In 1859 the French Government sent an Offi cer of the Legion of Honor to St. Helena to look after and take care of the house and grounds. The present officer, Major Mare- chal, who is an Officer of the Legion of Honor, also, is a most obliging anu courte ous gentleman; he has very little to do, for all that he does not like living so far away from Paris, and proposes to leave for France soon on a leave of absence for one year. There are a good many reminis cences of Napoleon’s exile that neither re flect credit on himself nor the representa tive of the English Gavernment, Sir Hudson Lowe. How To Make Business. would enable them to procure the many de sirable articles which the juvenile mechanics and artists of the city could make for them. The question will naturally be asked, “How can the youth of the cities and the country be induced to begin productive work ?” The beginning is the chief diffi culty, and this should be undertaken by or ganization. We have many associations of minors, but they do not sufficiently inculcate the idea that skill in useful arts is honorable, and entitles the possessor to the respect of all worthy people. Men who are prominent in the community should give countenance to all who can be induced to associate for the purpose of elevating themselves in the social scale by productive work; and a sys tem of degrees, orders and decorations, to indicate the acquirements of every one, should be prepared and conferred upon those entitled to them.

St. Marv’s lake is four miles; m„n L_ ° J eS received in the Ashtabula Many of the wants which create a de mand for articles of merchandise are arti ficial. Our ancestors felt no need of tea and coffee, yet they are now used by even- family in the hardest times, and forty years ago there was no demand for photograph pictures, but now they are seen in the humblest dwellings, and the living of many persons is made by preparing them. It may be said that when wages are small most people cannot afford to buy anything beyond what subsistence and ordinary comforts re quire ; but when there was the most com plaint of a lack of employment, a Fourth of July did not pass without a large business being done in fireworks and crackers. “Where there is a will there is a way,” and if new things of a desirable character be introduced they will find purchasers. It is, therefore, the true policy of a com munity to invent or prepare new artioles, which will gratify some persons, in order that they may be induced to buy them. A portion of the time of boys and girls, and of many adults, is not employed, and experience has shown that when they have been so in structed as to acquire skill in some art, they will willingly work when there is a prospect of pay. An important part of their home training should be to lead them to exercise their powers in efforts to make something which will have value, and to do this they should be provided with some inexpensive instruments and materials with which they may begin work. When they can fashion a toy which will amuse a child, their work begins to have value, and in this branch of industry there is a scope for a large amount of work adapted to learners. In every de partment of labor the ability to draw is of great value, and children should be supplied with the things needed at an early age. The use of water colors affords much inno cent amusement, and whenever a germ of talent for drawing or coloring appears, it should be developed. The instruments for mechanical drawing should also be provided, and the habit of observing and delineating the forms of things should be encouraged. To induce families to procure the things de sired for the beginning of manual work, would considerably increase some kinds of business, and wherever sufficiently skill may be developed to produce new designs and things of ornament, the resources of learners would increase, and their ability to purchase better instruments, machinery, and apparatus would be augmented. In a large majority of dwellings there is a want of many things which w T ould promote the comfort and convenience of families; and, as intelligence and taste are diffused, the demand for books, pictures, musical instru ments, ornamental articles of furniture and things needed for recreation is increased. In the rural districts and in suburban parts of large cities, much more productive work for young persons is practicable than can be done in the small houses in which many of the people of the city live. With a little direction, boys and girls can make a little ground produce things of value which the glowing coals Pa! pa! pa!
