It so happened tint the aforesaid gentleman,
O— G , Esq., wna npfHituleir High Sheriff'
nfthetown of . lie was a mail of fortune
and had a kind heart, na many n poor prisoner
could testify, who partook of 1 lie-pm*]cheer with
which the prisoners were litiendlv supplied nt
Ohrisimus. niul other well-known festival*, from
the private purse of the High Sheriff.
It was of course the duty nflhe High Sheriff tn j
•nmtnou n giuud nud Petit. Jury, tn attend nt the I
Quarter Sessionsn£ which lliu Recorder, Mayor,
mid Aldermen of the borough composed the Court
Ip lbe performance of hi* official dutv in s-animnn-
ing the Petit Jury, our High Sheriff' indulged iu
some of llie strangest and drollest freak* that have
probably ever been beard of in nuy other town or
country. In the first place he summoned for the
October Court, n jury consisting of twelve'of the
fattest men he could find iu lilts boro|igh, nud
when they ettnie to the luiok to he sworn, it np-
peared tbatoi.lv nine jurors could sit comfortably
in the box! After n great deni of sweating, *qu.
eezing nnd scnhling, the panel was literally jam.
mod into llie Imx. nud wheu seined, '-hey presented
to the eve of the Court, the barrister, mid the audi
ence, -the lightest lit” of a jury that was ever
aeen iu a court room. Literally they became,
much to tlie astonishment of the Court and Us nib
ed advocate/, Va packed jury." nnd no mistake
For the January term, our facetious High Sheriff
(ill consequence, it w*s said, id sumo hint from
the Recorder, that there should be no more fat
pauiiel* summonsed to flit Court) went into llie
opposite extreme. He summoned twelve oCjhe
leanrt*. nud lallct! ineu lie could imd iu the borough
ami when they took their scats in tho liox, it nji-.
peared comparatively empty—there wns indeed
ruimi lor twelve more of llie same sui t nud dimen
sions.
For the April term oi the Court, (tor humorous
functionary summoned a jury consisting of twelve
barbers! Now it so happened thns among the
latter were the very perruquiers who; dressed tlie
Recorder’s mid banisters’wigs, nnd some uf the
latter, urriviug hit* at the liar, hud to appear that
morning in Court, with tlicir wig* undressed or
hulf-dre*seJ, sous In cut a very ridiculous figure,
amidst the smiles and half suppressed laughter of
the by-stnuders Tlie High Sheriff enjoyed tlie
fun amazingly, lint looked “grave a* a judge,”,
while he tried to keep-silence in the court room.
But the crowing joke of Ibis waggish function
ary occnrred'nt the summoning of bis fourth nud
a»t July,at the Summer t*e.-»inii. iu July. For ,
■ hat Term of the Court, the High Sheriff not hnv-
lilig the fear of tho Recorder, the Mayor, and the
Aldermen before Ids eyes, actually summoned n
squiutiugjury ! twelve us queer looking biped* ns
ever took tln-i--seats in n jury, box—a jury that
was probably more looked nt, and laughed at
than tiny of the appniured twelve'hat ever were
sworn, to “vv.-ll nnd truly try, and true deliver
ance make bet vv'eeu their Sovereign Lin'd a:id
King, and the pi is ner nt Hie liar.
But the scene was so irresistibly droll that the
learned Recorder could oi»t maintain his gravity.
The Mayor nud Aldrruiou followed suit. The bar-
listers laughed while tlicir wigs became indd,
povvdcrless nay, even the |«.Hir prisoners in the
dock, vv ho were to he put upon tlicir trial, and
some of lh-'tp undergo transportation, could not
refrain from joining iu the general cacliitumtiuu!—
And when the learned Recoider Commanded the
High Sheriff’tn bring the court room to order, and
iuttuiali'd. with u ball'suppressed laugh, that the
latter ought to lie ashamed of himself tor summon,
iug such a jury, the drollery uf this court-scene
wns heightened considerably by llie quick, ready,
and sonorous response id* llie High Sheriff', who.
looking jit t.lte same time nt Hie squinting jury, ex
claimed—“Ali go >d uud lawful,men,your Honor.’

Tho New York Tribune has arranged a’brief
sketch of tho President elect of France, as fid.
lows:—
A Spetch of Louis Napoleon.—The news of
the election of L-uti* Napoleon to the Presidency
of I lie French Republic will naturally excite
some ciiriusilv.iti regard to his history uud public
chunicter- Hitherto lie inis only been known
through tbe liHilikli affairs nt Strasbourg and Bou
logne, his published works, notwithstanding the
merits claimed for them by bis adherent*, having
faded to enlarge li.-s reputation. Hit lifehnn. nev-
ertheleta, been somewhat, eventful; uud lie does
nut lack the iidvimtneu. of varied fortune and se
vere experience. Whether be ha*profited by it,
remaitis to he seen. From such hasty material*
as we could procure, we have nrraiiged for tin-
Tribune the following brief notice of bis history:
Cli o lea Louis Napoleon, non of Louis, Et-K ng
of Holland, was boro m Paris on tlie 20-li of April,
1S03 Hi* god-parents were the Emperor uu
Marin Louisa, and during his childhood lie was an
especial favorite ol the former. Ou the return of
Napoleon from Elliu. he stood hesidu him mi the
Champ do Mars, mid when embraced hy him Fir
die lust time, the Maliiiaison, tbe young Louis,
then n boy of seven years, wished to follow him
at all hazards. When the family was banished
from Frnuce, his mother removed tq Augsburg,
where he received u good German education.—
He was nl'terwiirds taken to Switzerland, where
he obtained the right offcilizensliip and commen
ced n course of military studies After llie July
Revolution, hy which he was a second titno pro
scribed from France, lie visited Italy in company
willi liis brother, nnd in 1831 took part in a popu
lar insurrection against the Pope. This move
ment lulled, hut lie succeeded iu making his escape,
! nut), his brother dying nt Fnrli the sumo veal',, lie
visited England, and afterward returned to Swit
zerland, where, for two or three yours, lie content
ed himself wiili writing 'political and military
works, which do not aiqiear to have been very ex
tensively read. The death of tile Duke of Reichs-
tnd> in 1832. gave u new impulse to Itis ambitious
hopes. Hi* first revolutionary attempt, nt Stras
bourg, iu October, ]836. completely failed, butnf-
ter a short imprisonment in Peris, bo was seut to
this country. The illness ot liis mother occasioned
liis retain tho following-year, aud niter n visit ti
Switzerland lie took up his residence iu Eogluud
until liis second attempt at Boulogne, io 1840.
In this affair several of his followers were killed,
nnd he was himself taken niul sentenced to im
prisonment for life iu the Castle rf Hand Tlie
particulars of his escape iu May, 1846, alter no in
carceration of eix year*, are well known. From
that time until the end of Sl-ptemherlnst. when lie
was returned as a Deputy to the National Avciii-
hlv from the Department uf the Seine, he Ins re
sided ill England. A late London journal, iu de
scribing his mode of life, gives the following uot very
fluttering account:
“He -was unscrupulous in contracting obliga
tions which were wholly beyond his menus of re
payment; nod his most serious pursuit wu* the
study of alchemy, hy which he expected to arrive
at the disenverv of the philosopher's stone. So
vigorously did he prosecute this exploded science,
a in house which he liuil filled up as a laboratory
nt Camberwell, nud so firm was bis foiili iu the
chariutan empiric whom he employed to aid him
in truiismitliug '.he baser metals into gold, ibst be
is said to liuve actually appropriated his revenues
in anticipation, and to htfve devoted tbe first mil
liard of his gains to tho payment of tbo'uatiouul
debt nfFrnuce, in order to acquire thus an impe-
aiul throne hy purchase!"
The large majority by which bo was elected a
representative astonishes every oue. a ltd gave his
followers liio first encouragement to bring forth
bis name ns a candidate for the Presidency. To
defeat the acknowledged Republican party, he re
ceived also the support of tho' Legitimists ur.d Or-
lennists, nud those combined influences have elect
ed him by an immense majority. The rest mint
be left to time and fate. {6e-*jgJ

establishments—especially as the Indies were uot
preseitt to counsel them: lint filially concluded to
have "sotno of budi." This matter being ended,
they prepared to follow tlaejr femuje friends; hut
their caceel* was suddenly stopped liy the most
prudent of the two. wlmse eye caught the sign
over the door—••Ladirt'Fatoon." There he stood,
gazing wildly sit the Wroob’v-l -unwtU. Jti*mouth
wide open, nml his whole frame rigid with aston
ishment ami fear. At last, finding words, he said
to his tinnnticiiis companion—
“Bv gracious! Josh, what are we going to do?
They’ve gone into the indies' saloon—it’s only for
the women,nnd we daren't go into it; they'll turn

“I swow, that ira fix!” replied his equally dis

can’t gooff nmi leave tlie gals—that won’t do. We
imisl wait till they come down. This is the gen

In the moan while, the Indies themselves were
iu n predicament. They wondered wlifeu the ice*
were placed before them, that the beans did n.il
make their appearance, and waited their coining
Fir some time, until the melting cream gave them
notice that it was necessary that It should lie

lusiou was inevitable; They had been invited
there, nnd their iuvitere hud gone oil', in the most
eiitienianly manner, nml lel't them. Then there
was the greatest trouble la pay what they had eat
en! Unluckily, it was rather a poverty -stricken
party; the Indies not being so -much in the habit
r carrying money with them os tlio gentlemen,
aiu Maria Fumbled uud tumbled over her pock
ets—
“I have not a single cent!” said she.
“Here are three cents !” said Susan.
“I've got a five cent piece,” said Jane.
“There’s also u lip uud u cent towards it,” said
Mnrv.
••I’ve got fifty cents." said Sarah, who was tbe
millionaire of the party.
“I can’t find mure than three cents," said Cath
arine.
“Why. that aint ettongh," said Sarah, who, liy
virtue of-her wealth, was constituted “treasurcss."
••It’s six shillings, ntnl wo have got only sixty-three

“Weil, wor can't dd cny thing •else," said Sarah

At the sound, the colored gentleman appeared

“Ctearns! miss. Creams all paid For!” said

ported in one of the papers; e
“There is nothing." ho sirs, "tint strikes: a
stranger more forcibly, if he'visits Sweden at a
season of the year when the dav* are the hu gest,
than the alwcnco of night.” Dr. Baird bed uu
conception of it before liis arrlvul. He got into
Stockholm Irnra 6ottenberg—finir hundred mdr*
distance—iu the morning, nud in llie afternoon
went to sec some friendr; had not taken unties of
the time nml returned about miil-uight; it was
light as itis here half an hour before nuxlswu;
yon could see distinctly, but nil wvs quiet fit the
street; it seemed as if the inhabitants had rut
away or were dead; no signs of life; storescl red.
The sun in Juno goes down nt 8torkh‘dm » (into
before 10 o'clock. There in a great illominstioi
all night ns llie sun passes round the earth lo winds
the nnrtll pole; ai d the reflection of its rays it
rqvjt that yep «;-tu sea to r"ad miri-night Dr.
Baird read a !ett> r in-the forest near Stockholm at
midnight. Dr. Bairu read a letter in tbe forest
near Stockholm nt midnight, without artificial
light. There is n mountain at thu head of tho
Gulf of Bulimia, where, on the Slat of .tnuc, ll*
sun docs not go down at all. A slcnnihnnt goes
up frnm Stockholm for the purpose of carrying
those who are curious to witness the phenome
non. It only occurs one night. The sun goea
down in thu horizon; you call see tho whole
face of it, ond iu. tiyu minutes afterwards it begins
to rise.
“At the North Cape, latitude 72 degrees, tbe
sun does not go down for several weeks. To June,
it would lie uhont 2:3 degrees above ilia horizon
•It midnight. The wav the people there know
it i* midnight, they see the sim rise. The change*
ill those high latitudes from summer to winterer*
so great that we enu have no concrpt'nn of them
at all. In winter the son disappear* and is not
seen tor six weeks. Then it comes aud shows its
face. Afterwards, it remains for ten. fifteen, or
twenty minutes, and then descends: finally i: does
not set nl all, lint makes almost a circlu nronud
the heavens. Dr. Baird was asked how they
itintnigeil in regard^ to hired persons, nud what
they considered a day ? He could uot say, lint
supposed they worked.-thy the hour, nud twelve
hours would Ue considered a day’s work.
Birds aud animals toko llieir accustomed rest

how (hey learned the time, hut they had. nud go
to rest whether the sun goes down or not. The
hens take to tlio trees about 'o'clock, f. x, ami
stay there until the sun is well up in the morning:
and the people get into the lialiit of rising, too.—
The first morning Dr. Baird awqku in Stockholm,
he was surprised ta teu llie sun shining into his
room. He looked at liis wutrb, and foueHtni.l v

Chapk Shawls.—Therj tiro m-my who may
not know how the Cnufon crape is made, aud a
short sketch may not lie out of place. When the
crane shawl comes from the weaver’s hium. it is
perfectly siomilli. nud resrmblv* gem silk clo h'—
But the threads nl wuicli this t li.Mh i* formed are
made with otm .thread harder titan the other, and
fo deeper craning tho warp is harder twisted thin ‘
the weft, ‘fhe difference twist in the warp nud
weft a* the crapes are twilled, forms all the crimp*
ing of tin crape, but not until it undergoes the
process of boiling. This is done hy boiling tho
hnwls ill fine white soap for a cons derahle lime,
which removes the gum from the silk, aud by the
warp swelling more than tho vvef, the shawls
come out of the Imiler wirii that tiue crisp Xu
much aJmired. All this crisp con be shakeu out
again hy.slretch'ng i|.e sliawla on si inters—lieuco
in the dressing operation care must he exercised
Uot to SIT Itch lllelll too Utllcll.
1 lie embroidery of ll cse shawls is performed
after t o/um is removed. Forth’s pot-piee the
patte n is printed on the shawl* with fugitive bine
an 1 the flowers are then wrought with the needle.
Af er this the shawls are sent tn the dyer’s to be
live/ 1 , anil drtwseil. Sometimes 'hey are embroid
ered before tlicgum is boiled ill', but this is not a
good method, ns silk is deteriorated iu lustre by
boding iu soap any longer than merely to remove
the gum ; nml -to embroider with spun silk nn tue
goi.imcd Fdiric, would require the embroidery
silk to rcceiio too much boiling, uud thus dim iU
fas'ro. . .
The use of soap to remove the gum i f raw silk
cannot he ivi oin tn-ileri. hut it i* tho lirst and
the cheapest with which we-ore acquainted.—
Many ol'.Mir fair oiiiit-s Will ind olhl he snpriseil
lo l-o told that their crape slmwls Inve been foil-
■il f< r two or throe hour.* ill soup. Many suppose
I n' boil u; in soap would uttciiy destroy auy silk
fabric. To;* iu a measure is tiue; tlio operation
mce ono—hut there is not n silk d vs* worn iu
n tr city, that has nut iu tho yarn been boiled iu
The t eas m why tha Chinese fiubheJ silks have
a flier lititro than the English and French, is
owing to the gum being removed by a ted'iitis and
ex| endve process of strepiiig the silkis in n cold
spiri ti.ni* liquor. Ill the raw state, lit lure tho
turn i* removed thu crape; i* of n dirty yellow
olar, hat tin*boiling in snap removes the yellow
-.mn, ami die wliiti.-li silk appears. But still it is
not yet whit-. It has to be dyed fin; this pnrposo.
Some may think litis strange,'but it is u prncticn-
lof.ict. It takes red Idee, and yellow rays of
gift to form a while ray—a tri-nnity, like the
great Author who created wiiat Milton termi,
Holy light.
Offspring nf Heaven’s firat dawn.
The dyer, to make his crape shawl* white, uses
in clean coup for that purpose n little archil and
lino indigo strained ihttmghn clniii. These cnlur*
mingling with the yellow of the shaw l, form e
while W hich is further cleared up hy the shawl’*
being washed out nflhe. soap in cold water, aud
afterward*submitted to tbo fumes uf sulphur iu *
close room.
Cnipu veils nre very expensive, and containing
ns they do, so little silk, this seems unreasonable i
lint the fine crape manufacture is in the liniids of a
few foreign Ileuses, unit the art nf dressiug the
crape is both n tedious and.troiililcsom* process.
In the last volume of thif Scientific American, ft
patent process fiir dressing tiue crape shaw ls was
dncribtd. It was to use u small quantity nf di*-
(lived guln copal and borax, along with liquid glue,
to at ffeii the crape. This composition, if rightly
made and applied, wo have ren«nu to knew, is
good, nml is worthy of the attention of those iu thu
nod other cities iff our country, whose business it
is to red n sr damaged crape.
