GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1856.
Napoleon and the Woodman.
As Napoleon was riding out, attended by
several officers, I was one of the party we
rode past a forest where some w’oodmen were
cutting timber Observing one of them sing
ing, the Emperor, with a smile, turned round
to us aud said,
“Observe that man, who, though toiling
hard fur his daily bread, seems to be quite hap
py.”
The woodman observing so many persons
looking at him, made a respectful bow, and
approached us to inquire if we had lost our
way.
“No,” said the Emperor, ‘‘but tell me, my
honest man, what makes you so cheerful ?
What may you earn a day ?”
“Three francs, your honor ”
“Three francs !” said the Emperor ; “does
that support you and your family ? Tell me,
how do you manage to do so ?”
“With pleasure your honor, if yon will step
a little this way With three francs I not on
ly keep my wife and family, but I also put mo
ney out at interest, and pay off my old debts.”
“Explain yourself ?”
“Willingly, yonr honor. I keep my wife
aud children—l place money out at interest
by educating the latter at sehool, and pay off
my old debts by maintaining my aged father
and mother. So you see, your honor, I may
well be happy.”
“Excellent man,” said Napoleon, “here is a
Napoleon for you,” tossing him the money.—
“Keep what you have now told me a secret.
I am your Emperor, and on pain of my dis
pleasure, I enjoin you to tell no one till you
have seen my face at least a hundred times.”
“Sire, it shall be so ”
Napoleon turned his horse’s head, and re
joiued us.
The same evening, as he appeared thought
ful, Gen, Rapp asked him if anything unplea
sant had occurred that day.
“No,” said the Emperor, “but I met a man
this morning, who, with three francs per day,
told me lie lcept his family, placed money out at
interest, and paid off his old debts.” ‘Gen
tlemen,” continued the Emperor, “you will
please me much if any of you can tell me the
meaning of what he.said.”
All of tis were very anxious to please our
Monarch, and knowing that, he had spoken to a
woodman in the forenoou, we iode off on the
following morning, and having found the wood
man, asked him if he knew to whom he had
spoken on the previous day.
The man said, “Yes, I had the honor of
talking with the Emperor.”
“What did you say to him ?”
“Excuse me, gentlemen, chat I must not tell
you.”
One of the party said, “I will give you fifty
Napoteons to tell me.”
The man said. “No, I dare not.”
“You shall have one hundred if you will ob
lige us,” rejoined our companion.
The woodman, after pausing a minute or
two, said :
“Place the money in my hand, and I will
tell you.”
We placed it in his hand, and, after he had
carefully examined every piece, he told us all
that had transpired.
We rode off, and on our arrival at the pa
lace, asked to be admitted to the Empefot 4 ,
when we expounded his riddle.
Napoleon, pale with anger, said :
“Bring the woodman before me, dead or
alive ”
He was soon found, and ushered into the
presence of his angry monarch.
“Sirrah, how have you dared to break your
promise with me ?”
“Sire,*’ said the w r oodman, with great com
posure, “I have not disobeyed your com
mands.”
“How t , slave,” said Napoleon, dare you tell
me a lie ?”
“Sire/’ said the wmodman, “you told me I
should tell no one until I had seen your face
one hundred times.” Then, putting his hands
deliberately into his pockets, he laid the pieces
of money, one by one, before the Emperor,
with the heads upwards. “ I here, sire,” con
tinued he, “have I not seen your face one hun
dred times ?”
Napoleou burst into a loud fit of laughter,
gave him a slap in the face, called him a cle
ver fellow', and made him a captain in the ar
tillery, where he proved himself deserving o?
his good fortune.
Ben Franklin’s Toast.— When after the
Declaration of Independence, Franklin was
Minister from the United States to France, he
was invited to dine with a French nobleman'm
company with the British Ambassador. Af
ter dinner they were taking a glass of wine,
and it Mas proposed that each should give a
sentiment or toast. The Englishman led the
way, aiid gave,
“George the Third —Like the sun in his me
ridian glory—he is the admiration of the world.”
The Frenchman followed next, and gave,
“The Queen of France—Like the ilioou in
her bright path through the heavens, she en
lightens and influences the earth.”
Both now turned to Franklin, confident that
he was thrown far into the background ; but
Franklin, with great composure, took up his
glass aud gave,
“George Washington—Like Joshua of old,
he commands the sun and the moon to stand
still, and they obey him.”
Give Your Child a Paper —A child begin
ning to read becomes delighted with a news
paper, because he reads the names of tiling*
which are very familiar, and will make progre.4
accordingly A newspaper in one year is worth
a quarter’s schooling to a child, and every fa
ther must consider that substantial information
is connected with advancement. The mother
of a family, being one of the heads, and having
the more immediate charge of children, should
herself be instructed Children amus< and by
reading or study,are of course more considerate
and more easily governed. How many parents
who have not spent tweuty dollars for books
or papers for their families, would give hun
dreds to reclaim a son or a daughter who had
ignorantly or thoughtlpssly fallen into tempta
tion.

A Court Scene.
Here is another of those western court
scenes which ‘we read about,” as related by
Jenny Nobs. _ It will do :
Ju4ge B. of Missouri, was in many respects
a remarkable raan. He stood 7. feet 2 inches
in his boots, and was as fond of a frolic as the
most rattling lad in the country. He conld
drink more liquor, ‘lift’ a heavier ‘bag o’raeaF
and play a better game of ‘poker’ than any
man in his circuit. These admirable qualifica
tions of course rendered him the most popular
Judge on the bench of his district. Yet he
never lost his dignity while on his bench. —
1 here, he w 7 as stern, haughty and dignified.—
The least approach to familiarity, when he wms
sitting in court, was always resented by a fine,
and sometimes by imprisonment. Well, it
happened one day, while he wms holding court,
ttiat Mr. Jlewzenburv, a rough looking, but
lent customer, came into the court
room with his hat on his head. This the
Judge considered an indignity offered to the
court, aud forthwith ordered Mr. D. to take
off his hat.
To this Mr. Dewzenbury paid no attention,
which being observed by his honor, he ordered
the Sheriff to “take the man’s hat off.”
“Take your hat off,” cried the Sheriff.
Mr. D remained motionless, while the Judge
proceeded to business. At last raising his
eyes, his honor again discovered the incorrigi
ble standing with his hat upon his head.
“Sheriff !” cried the court, “take that man’s
hat off.”
The Sheriff approached and repeated the
comwwnd of the court.
“I’m bald,” said Mr D., “and cannot com
ply.”
“Yon can’t !” exclaimed the Judge, w'axing
angry, “then I fine you five dollars for con
tetnjpt of court.”
v ’jJfluUY that you say, Judge?” replied Mr.
tY.ffilfC walked deliberately up to the Judg£p
stand.
“1 fine you five dollars, sir, for contempt of
court ”
“Very well,'’ said Mr. D , as he carefully
put his handjnto his pocket, and palled out a
fifty cent piece. “Very well, here’s the mo
ney,” handing the judge &the half dollar,
“this squares us up, Judge You owed me
four dollars and a half whea w r e quit playing
poker last night, and this makes us even ”
The bar roared, the crowd smiled, and the’
Judge pocketed his ‘change’ without uttering
a word
— —
Tlie Grave of President Monroe.
The New York Times calls attention to the
fact, that the remains of President Monroe are
barred in a burial ground in that city, witb
-■llNigfiKHiOMKt te~mark his resting pLree He
lies Beneath a simple slab, upon which is mere
ly the inscription : “James Monrce, Robert
Tillotson. Vault No. 14L” There is noth
ing to indicate that the James Monroe men
tioned is the Monroe who was in the battle of
W hUc Plains, and received a ball in his shoul
der at the attack on Trenton ; w r ho
fotight by the side of LaFayette at Brandy
wine ; w r ho was Minister to France in 1794,
and afterwards to England ; who was Secre
tary of State in 1811, and for two full terms
President of these United States. Yet such
is the fact, and that weather-stained slab of
marble, tw'ofeet square, is all the monument
Monroe has.
The Times states the following additional
facts :
As Mr. Monroe was a Virginian, it is the
supposition of most people that lie died and
within the Old Dominion, but this
is jA error.
Mr. Monroe in his last days, resided with
Samuel Gouverneur, late Post Master of this
city, who married his only daughter ; their
residence was on the corner of Prince aud
Elm Street.
The venerable Dr. Francis tells us that he
often met Mr. Monroe walking out, when tilt
weather was fine, and that on these occasions
he was the object of the most affectiouate at
tentions. He has often met him, making pur
chases for the family at Centre Market, where
all the stallmen knew and honored him. He
was tall and spare, very modest in his bearing,
dignified and gentlemanly. In his address, he
was hesitating and diffident, as polite to the
poorest and humblest as to any. He w r as one
of the most industrious of men, a hard student,
and his carts left their mark on his face. The
wound that he received at Trenton was felt
many years afterwards —indeed, throughout
all his life lie occasionally suffered from it.
His last illness was a long and tedious one.
Tils“uitWaant, sflts his son-in-law’s family phys
ician, Dr. Berger. He expired at I()i o’clock
on the morning of the 4th of July, 1831
His funeral was a very imposing one—-the
largest that at that time .had eves been seen
in New’ York. The Military,- under General
Jacob Morton, Grand Marshal, filled Broad
way from Prince to Broad Street, through
which it passed to theCemefry. The day was
fine, and the signs of mourning were generally
adopted by our citizens The vault in which
his dust still lies, is on the east side of the
Cemetry, just to the right of the main walk
as you look in from th£ f-utrance. . Ihe pas
scr-ljy will notice a small pole, on which adov e
house is perched. Within a yard of that pole
is the sacred spot.
Mr Monroe shares even his grave with
another man. He had no wealth when ho
died, aud in his death, no tomb of his own.
Good Shooting. —The South Western Inde
pendent published at Fayetteville, Arkansas,
•fT'espcmsible for the following :
Bep Calaker was describing, the other day,
to Tip Onstost, the skill of a sportsman in Mis
sissippi, with the short gnu,
“Why,” said he, “I have seen him take two
patridges and let them both go, one in front
and the other behind him, and he would fire
and kill the one in front, and then whirl and
kill the other 1”
“Did he have a double barrel gun ?” enquir
ed Tip.
“Os course he did !”
“Well, but,” said Tip, “I can beat that—l
saw a man do the same thing with a single bar
rel P
Freedom of Speecli.
There has been quite a burst of fiery indig
nation, ala Burlingame, at freedom ot speech
being beaten down by bludgeons, and the vio
lence of southern men has been held up at the
North as shocking and brutal in the attempt
to restrain the expression of free thought in a
free country. The following occurance, which
lately took place in a Northern hotel, where
many Southerners were collected, is worth re
cording, both in evidence of the pluck of the
bold defenders of Sumner, did omne genus, and
the courtesy of Southern men:
A loud talking Massachusetts deelairner, un
dertook, in a crowd to give vent to a very ve
hement denunciation of the course of Southern
men in their efforts to put down free discussion
and free speech—that every man was entitled
to give his opinions freely on any question, with
out being attacked with personal violence, Ac.,
—that he for one would ever uphold the right,
be the consequences what they may, &c. A
quiet Southerner remarked that he thought
there was a limit to such expressions, and that
there were many occasions, which it was neith
er courteous nor proper to say what one
thought.
The Northern man was very belligerent, and
said he claimed the largest liberty for every
one, who should be answered and not beaten.
This Southerner quietly said to him: ‘Suppose
sir, 1 were to say to you, which I would not
for the world be so discourteous to say, you
are a low, contemptible, arrogant? loafer—
what right have you to come among gentlemen
and utter your sentiments on any question in
the vestibule of a hotel ? You ought to be
kicked out, and I am very much disposed to do
it; and if you are not very guarded in what yon
say, you will find yourself speedily rolling in the
gutter. Suppose, sir, I were to use such free
dom of speech which you so boldly defeud, and
to express sueh thoughts that mightlpass* thro’
my mind, would you quietly submit to such
language as merely an expression of opinion
which every man is entitled to make, without
personal notice ? Suppose I were so discourte
ous as to apply such language to yourself,
would you argue the question with me ?
Sir, replied Massachusetts, ‘if you Were so
ungentlemanly as to speak to me in such a
manner, I would not stay to listen to you.’—
And he vamoused amidst the roar of the whole
crowd.— Ca roleanain.
Political Fanaticism.
Ou Saturday of last Week, the Black Re
publicans had a grand pow-wow in Shelby,
Orleans county, New York, during which they
raised a pole someone hundred and thirty feet
high The Rochester Advertise rsavs—Duriug
the night some persons, supposed to be Fillmore
men, a large cross and elevated it tq(
the top of the pole, where it was fastened in
such a manner that it could not be lowered by
means of the rope and pulley with which it was
raised.
Early in the morning (Sunday morning, be
it remembered,) the cross was discovered, and
an effort was made to lower it, which proved
unsuccessful, and during which the rope broke
near the top of the pole. By this time a large
crowd had assembled, and prominent among
those who were advising as to the best method
of letting the cross down, were several Elders ,
Deacons , and Preachers, who deemed it of more
importance to resent what they an
iudign ity offered to their candidate for Presi
dent, than to attend to the duties of their holy
calling.
After many unsuccessful efforts to climb the
pole, these Elders, Deacons and Preachers,
advised the procurement of rifles for the pur
pose of shooting away the cross, and the advice
was followed 1 What u proceeding in a Chris
tian community on the Sabbath day 1 A noisy

Great Pedestrian Feat. —[From our sport
ing correspondent.]—Paddy Hoofs, the cele
brated pedestrian, but better known at Lords’,
and the various commons in the neighborhood
of London, as the “Hammersmith Antelope”, is
still carrying’ on his herculean feat of walking
round a lady ih full dress 100 times in 100 con
secutive days, He is now in his second week
and looks as free as when he first started. There
are bets to a considerable amount that Pad
dy will never be able to complete his arduous
undertaking. What makes it all the more
difficult is the fact that a fresh lady is substitu
ted every day. It has been observed that the
dresses of these various ladies, instead of de
creasing, are actually getting bigger and bigger
ahrt'osf efefy week. What the size, therefore,
will be before the 90th, much less the 100th
days is completed, the most elastic imagination
snaps, like an over-stretched piece ofindia-iub
ber, in its vain efforts to comprehend. It is
also feared that there will be no open space
enough in the vicinity of the metropolis to
admit of the experiment,as soon as it has expan
ded to fullest dimentions, being fairly tried.
In the meantime, however, Paddy displays un
common pluck. His unfailing good humor and
cheerfulness under his trying labors, such as
would exhaust the oldest and worst paid post
man of St. Martin’s-le-Grand, win smiles of
approval even from his fairest rampants. We
wish the brave fellow every success, and shall
from week to week make a point or several
points rather, of recording the onward march of
his iron-tipped bluckers and undaunted perse
verance.—London Punch
A Safe Mode of Betting. —A new style of
bet has been introduced into the canvass. A
gentleman proposes to a lady of different poli
tics from his ewn, to bet a kiss that his candi
date would win, on these terms : “It Fillmore
is chosen, you are to kiss me ; if Bucbanau, I
am to kiss you.’’

Correspondence of the North Carolinian.
The Gyeen Rose.
This Rose presents quite a phenomenon id
the history of Roses, and as its existance has
been doubted by many who have not seen it,
perhaps it would be acceptable to give its ori
gin. It was originally a daily red rose, and was
set out in the garden of Mr James Smith,
(who is now dead) between the years 1806
and 1808. About the year 1821, a Yenitian
Sumach was planted from 3to 5 feet distant
from the cluster of red roses, and during that,
or the next year, one of the stalks commenced
bearing the green roses; and has so continued
to the present time. Not long after this, it was’
necessary to extirpate the Sumach entirely, in
as much as it was putting up sprouts in every
direction and becoming ruinous to the gardens,
but this removal of the Sumach, produced no
change in the bearing of the green rose. Mr.
Smith was of opinion that the roots of the
Sumach united with those of this particular
rose stalk in some way, and the Sumach pre
vailing, had changed the color of the rose.
This however, was merely an opinion which he
assigned because it appeared the most reason
able mode of accounting for its production.
This rose has been twice removed from its
place and without producing any injury. The
original rose bush is still alive and
and may be seen at the residence of John Smith
Esq., in the county of Bladen. . .
The history of this rose, as given above, can
be sustained by the best proof in the country,
and should there be any who feel disposed to
controvert the same, the matter can be easily
settled by reference to dates, for although it is
within the range of posibility, it would certain
ly be very improbable that two such acci
dental productions should occur about the
same time.
The cuttings taken from this bush have been
numerous, and have been sent in almost every
direction; to the South as far as ‘1 exas, and”
to the North as far as New York, at least;
so that these very cuttings have produced a
considerable supply. But upon examination,,
it will be found that this original bush was the
first and only one in existance at that time,
either in this or any other country—-for no
mention is made ot any such rose in history,
either ancient or modern, so far as we have,
been able to ascertain, or by travelers whe have
explored every portion of the globe and com
mitted to writing every thing they have seen
of either interest or curiosity. We therefore
claim for the county of Bladen, the production
of this rose; by far the greatest curosity id
plants (as we think ) now upon record.
How do you like the Picture 7
The friends of Fillmore in Georgia, are wil
ling to abide by what his newspapers at the
North say of him. They admit the testimony
is sufficient. Now for tbq evidence. The N.
Y. Cornm ercial Advertiser, one of Mr. Fill
more’s leading organs, says :
“As between Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fre
mont, is the matter of prerequisites for the
Presidency, no comparisons are admissible.—r?
Even on this very slavery question, which the
Courier at pi*esent regards as the main and on
ly issue, it is unwise of the Republicans to pro
voke a comparison. The only vote or public
act of Mr. Fillmore that can be perverted in
to a seeming favoring of slavery, was the sign
ing of the fugitive slave law, which was sign
ed because constitutionally passed by the Re
presentatives of the people in Congress as
sembled. It was an integral part of a grand
compromise measure which the Courier & En
quirer has often endorsed heartily and une
quivocally. Is our contemporary prepared to
say that Mr. Fremont ever expressed his dis
approval of that compromise, fugitive slave in
cluded ? Or that he would not have, signed
it, in the same circumstances ? We imagine
it is not prepared to make any stand upon
equal ground. The reader has only to look
at the votes of each gentleman when respec
tively in public life, to find that Mr. Fillmore
is immeasurably a belter anti-slavery extension
man than John C. Fremont .”
Now for the N. Y. Express, the Editor of
which paper is a near and dear friend of Mr.
Fillmore'. Hear it. It says :
“Why ask this question ? What reason af
fords Mr. Fillmore’s life for the asking ? Look,
at his votes in Congress, when representing
the Erie District, New York. Contrast them
with Fremont’s when only IT working days in
the United States Senate. Mr. Fillmore is
the only President under whose administra
tion free Territory has been annexed to the
Union. Louisiana. Texas, Florida were slave
Territories—but California, under Fillmore,
came into tbo Union ‘free.’ Why doubt ?”
If Mr. Fillmore refuses tospeak put his sen
timents, when asked for them, his organs are
pretty candid. They don’t mince the matter.
We say with the Express, “Why doubt ?” —
Nobody doubts, Mr. Express ; all are agreed
as to Fillmore’s opposition to slavery and it*
extension. He hates it so bad that when the
barrier was removed which gave a Southern
man the right (o carry slaves North of 36-30,
he, Fillmore, cried out, it’s a Pandora’s Box,
worse than a Pandora’s Box. dcd. Inion.
Editorship.— ln the early days of journalism
iu this country, a single individual performed
all the duties of editor and publisher, to which
were sometimes added those of foreman, clerk
and collector. In these latter days, labor is
divided and sub-divided. None but periodicals
devoted to a single topic, such as Agriculture,
Temperance, Odd Fellowsh p, &c. can now be
conducted with decent efficiency by a single
editor. In tht leading journals of England aud
our great cities, there are Political, Financial,
Foreign, Classical, Critical, Agricultural, The
atrical, Musical and other departments suppli
ed by as many different editors. An able con
temporary expressed a doubt whether, any
living man knows enough, or one liftime is lorrg
enough, to master the various knowledge de
manded in the editorship of a good newspaper
