LOUIS NAPOLEON-NO, It
In August; 1840, after Leon NAPOLEON'S
most bootless , attempt to obtain possession of,
France, he was conveyed to Paris a prisoner,
in company with Count illorrnotox and oth.
era. This MimonoLoN was one of the faithful
few who had adhered to the elder Harmon
in his downfall, and had voluntarily shared his
captivity at St. Helena. .After the Strasburg
affair, in 1886, Louis ransom afraid of pun
ishing a BO3APARTE, had quietly sent Loins
NAPOLEON off to America. In 1840, however,
it was resolved to have him tried by the Cham
ber of - Peers on the charge, of nigh Treason.
• The trial took place in the, House of Peers,
at• Paris; many of this members of which had
been ennobled by the great NiPotiost. Mr.

was in vain. The Peers were compelled to
convict Minim the evidence before them, as
well as upon his own avowal. He was sen—
tenced to perpetual imprisonment in a French
fortress, and was , immediately removed •to
Ham, where, a few years before Prince Pomo-
NAo and- his political comatee had been con
fined, after the Revolution of 1880;
Here,, as we have already stated, Louis
NAPOLEON passed some of the best years of
his life. He read and wrote a great deal,
- and
was greatly indebted, for nearly everything
beyond prison fare, to the liberality of Count
/POnamr, and Lady BLESSINOTON, with occa•
atonal assistance ftem his uncle JEROME, cu
ffing of Westphalia, who, with the rest of the
Bonaparte race, admitted Louis NAPOLEON to
be the head of the family.
In that recent and remarkable work, Loots
BLANois et Historical Revelations," is an in
teresting account of Loots NAPOLEON in pri
son. It seems that while a captive in the
Chateau de Ham, an -invitation was sent to
Louis BLANo, then an influential Parisian
editor, to giro ri visit of, a few days to Louts
Napor.EoN, in his prison. Loom BLAIN says :
He was survotanded at that time with the
only prestige which a true Repnblicin may
be willing to salute; he was unfortunate. His
imperial pretensions bad, as it were, vanished
in the smoke of a wretched adventure. Peo
ple were looking round for his party, and he,
bowed down, tried, condemned, denied by his
partisans of that period, railed at by his ser
vants of this day, was doomed to a lonely life
in a gloomy fortress, with no other friend to
whom he could unburden his heart than his
physician, 1)r. CONNEA; and a chemist
named AM. Rea sacra miser. With the
request of the prisoner, not of the Prince, I
complied; ho procured from the Home Min
ister a permission for me to enter his prison,
and I set off to Hans." • •
As LoutsLano's book bats not been yet
republished in this country, and is really fall
of interesting revelations, we believe that our
readers will thank its forgiving, in fnll, such
portions of the description of the Imperial
Captive, within ; font. walls; as will exactly
show his position and personality at that
time. Louts &Alio says

abled, at that time, to remark how different he was
in features. has manners, his deportment, from
all the other members of Napoleon's family, whom
I did not, know. 'But it strut* me that there was
nothing in him of the Napoleonic type, that he
spoke with a rather foreign ascent, and that he
bad loss command of language than any man I had
ever conversed with."
The foreign accent is readily to be account
ed for. Letts Naromsou had spent nearly
twenty years almost wholly in, Siritaerland,
where, of course, he acquired the for
eign (literally Germania:S(l) pronunciation; of
the , French language. Re left France in
childhood, and had not been again allowed to
return to it—not even to see his mother when
she was dying.
Here, to understand what follows,
let it be
remembered - that In the earliest of Louts NA
romi's Writings - , called n Reveries Poll
tiques," he lays down the dictum that France
would be regenerated - only by moans Of one
of the Nap:it-Eon family, as this dynasty alone
could reconcile republican principles with the
demands of the military spirit of the nation.
Lome BLANC and 'be conversed freely
_on
the political condition and prospects of
France. Both agreed that Louts PHILIPPE'S
system must fall, - based as it was upon corrupt
practices at home, and a permanent humilia
tion, abroad. Then came—what system will
follow? Loose NAPOLEON professed to be a
"true Democrat"—to acknowledge, in full,
the sovereignty of the people, and to think
that this principle was to he' carried out
threnglitihiversal Suffrage. The conversation
proceeded thus
"Well. then, it is not enough for you to ac•
knowledge the sovereignty of the people and to bow
passively to, universal suffrage. Ton must have,
as a member of the whole, a clear notion of your
intended initiative; you must have, beyond your
worship of universal suffrage, a political creed.'

ditary principle?'
," Tee ' . ,
" And how is it possible to reconcile the princi
ple of the sovereignty of the people with the he
reditary principle ? These are contradiotory terms.
The latter is the negation of the former."
A Democrat, said Louts BLANC, «is of ne
cessity-opposed to any hereditary form of
Government , whatever. The sovereignty
,of
the people•is not, as a principle, to be confined
to a' given period. How could the present
generation be allowed to confiscate the right
of all the generations to come? A compact
of that, sort Is in its very essence null and
void." He proceeds
• " I had leave fora three days' stay. They were
spent in marshalling all the various topics that had
reference either to the general state of affairs or
the particular situation of the prisoner.
" Among the oiroutostances present to my memo•
ry there hone which I think worth mentioning,
as It serves to bring out into stronger relief the
hard disposition that was evinced by his subs.).
!pent conduct. One afternoon he was telling me
the partionlars of his failure at Boulogne, when
sodden his voice seemed to falter ; he stopped,
struggled a moment to repress a sob, and burst
into tears.

The New Feature In the Commencement El•
'poises of the WO school—ls the Test or
Boilable as It Is aloyelT—The best Criterion
of Scholarly Merit.
[For The Pres.'
The excellent report of the recent Gemmel:me
meut exercises, furnished in The Press of Friday,
alludes approvingly to the now teat of Intellectual
superiority, and scholarly excellence, to which
those having the management of that school sub
jected the late aompetttors for literary honors.
That the measure was adopted with the beet in
tentions, and that the awards were equitably dia•
peneed, none acquainted with the high demotes'
of the gentlemen concerned, either in the luggea
tion of the test, or the 'adjudication of the prises,
will for a moment d sputa. It can readily he un
&Wood, also, that the new feature was altogether
calculated to excite interest. Its very novelty
would captivate many persona. The competition
involved in the case would open an exalting
scene. Those especially concerned for the credit
of the school, which has already acquired so envi
able a reputation, under the Presidency of Pro
fester Hart and his effielent associates, would na
turally be inclined to regard with peculiar para.
silty a feature, the successful exhibition of which
seems to be ao well calculated to elevate their
Instltntion still higher in the public regard.
But all this, and whatever else might be said in
vindication of the entertaining novelty, renders
It the more important that its true value, f..r the
end professedly aimed at, should be carefully ex
amined.
As we have 110 personal interest. therefore, in
the matter, excepting what every sincere friend of
education should feel, not being even acquai'ited
with a single young gentleman of the ten who
competed for the honor of furnishing the boot—im
provised composition, nor, indeed, that wo are
aware of, with any of the entire graduating class,
or their personal friends, the writer foals the more
free in respectfully suggesting a few objectione to
the particular trial of skill employed in this in
stance.
Let the nature of the test, then, be 'definitely
Understood. On a public occasion, In the undst of
a large and probably onthusiastio audience, a cer
tain number of young men, with minds already
agitated by the olreumstanoes of the hour, are to
- improvise an essay upon a Babied arbitrarily as
signed to them on the spot. Even the 'abject, as
we understand it, is to be selected and proposed in
an equally extemporaneous way, the gentleman
who chooses it being allowed no time to make choice
of a theme with any proper well•refleeted adapta
tion of It to the peculiar taste or talents of those
who engage in the competition. The issue is to
determine which itt the brightest genius, the best
scholar, and altogether the meet promising young
man, and therefore entitled to the prize or honor
to be awarded in the ease.
Now, the most obvious objection to a toot like
this is that it aets np no true criterion of actual
Scholarship, of literary attainment, or even of na
tural talent. If there aro ten competitors, there
are ton ohances to one the theme assigned will be
most to the taste of one of the number, and every.
way the easiest for him to write upon, and corres
pondingly unpropitious for the rest. Indeed, there
might boa hundred other topics upon whieh either
of the others could improvise a far bettor essay
than the successful candidate. flow fallacious,
therefore, to conclude that the victor in such a
terary contest really surpasses his fellows In the
respoota contemplated ! The fact is, that there are
at least ten chances to one (the amount in his favor
upon the other supposition) that he is the dolt of
the class,
But another point claims consideration here.
The best soholare in a school, lade and young men
of the closest application, of the largest attain
ments, and of the brightest intellect, are, in the
majority of oases, exceedingly modest and dill
dent, and therefore likely to appear dleadvante
geouely under oirourastanees calling for a good
degree of self.oonfidenoe, and even boldness. A
test,itowever, like that befere us, is ono in which
almost everything dopends—not upon thorough
scholarship, not upon native talent, but rather
upon snob a degree of coolness and suportioial
pertness, as had always better be lacking in the
character of a youthful disciple. It is, of course,
comparatively easy for wafts of quick wit and a
dashing spirit to any or write something that will
sound or read tolerably well, upon almost any
theme which might be, at - the moment, proposed
to them ; and the effect of the improvised effort
might be as striking as when a certain young
clergyman preached a learned discourse upon the
blank piece of purr which was handed to him as
a tail., or,'ae when - another basod a most con
vincing appeal to the ooneoieneea of three merry
rung men, who compelled him to bold forth ex
teMperaneously, from a stump, upon the word
bovi,maby of our beet whalers, young
or, old; could compose an essay upon some un
studied and, novel theme—take even that proposed,
by Professor Coppeo upon the above occasion—in
the midst of the oroitement of a pnbio exhibition
of., fellow students, and, under the consciousness
tbat r ,they were Dallied to thirty minutes or an
hour of time? Tried and judged by such a rule,
ninti.out of every_.ten, if not ninety.nine out o
every hundred men, who in past times attained to
high; iterary distinetion, would have been pro
m/Wed but very Ordinary youth. The truth is,
that in such a. trial the beet scholar will go most
timidly to work, and would, probably, make We
poorest display of skill.
. Another objection to this measure is found in
the encouragement it gives to the establishment of
a false and an illusive standard of scholarly merit
The'general public Is prone at any rate to be
taken by sound and sheen, rather than by more
substantial and realty meritorious things. ,But
should an institution, the protested alto of which
is to improve and elevate the literary charaoter
and taste of the community which has roared and
Witt* bee fostered it, cater to snob fondness for
stard splendid sights—in the literary sphere we
mean—or for merely captivating sounds 7 Yet this
is dens by the adoption anti use of a test, whiob
pr ropes the impression that your Smart, loqua z
Pagan; off-band men, yOunk or mature, aro
. rtittlly to be regaided as the men of the highest
ability and moat laudable erudition; this is done
-then such snowed improvisatores are exalted at
WO expense of the credit of their more able com
pardone.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that the exempla

by it, for emnething droller, wtibelieve, - wes enact.

tated. It might, indeed, add to the more exciting
interest of college commenoements, to hare a few
extemporaneous essays written. cr oratione de.
livered, though even this enjoyment should be
'very moderately indulged. But to melte such
etforts a test of scholarship, or a criterion of intel
lectual ability, and an omission of competition for
literary prises or honors, must, upon mature re
fleotion, be pronounced pernicious. Bather let our
young men be encouraged to mietrust their Im
prompt; powers, and convinced of the necessity of
thinking twice before they speak or write. And
li:tete/IA of disheartening the earnest, diligent,
thoughtful student, by awarding praises and
honors to some superfloisl, but lathing rival, let
him randerstand that solidity, not show, thorough

LETTERS FROM A TRAVELLER-NO. I
Oorretpondence of The Poem]
Dsrue nest, Pc, July 17, 1858. '
Mr /un Stn: In commencing this series of
lettere; ft may not be sages. at the outset, to state
what your readers may in general look for in their
contents. Starling from home to be absent some
four weeks, in search otneoossary relaxation, a
definite line of travel has been fixed on which will
lead me to many places of interest, some of much
resort, and others again but little visited. A tra
veller, in order to profit by Ms journey, should
have an observant eye, a ready ear for any who
are able and willing to nommunioate information;
and if he Pan now and then judielotudy bring into
play an inquiring tongue, it will greatly aid him.

results of hie experience to writing. to be ted
for the perusal of others, he mtTst be dull 1 d if
he does not make the most of every advantage and
opportunity that comes in his way. How far your
present correspondent shall show that he praollseS
what he preaches the readers of The Press must
judge.
." A Traveller," however, your readers may rest
assured, has no idea of indulging them with an
indiscriminate praise of 4 , mine host" at this place
and the other; nor with fulsome recommends.
Lions in meaningless generalities of the attractions
lef different places es summer resorts. Politics, too,
! but it they natu
rally fall in my way, are not to be - -rigidly ex.
eluded. Pacts which fall under my own observe•
tion, or may he learned from reliable informants,
, with sketches of objects and places of interost,with
perhaps an occasional indulgence in moralising or
philosophising, will make up the substance of these
letters. If I can carry my readers along with me
in the pleasures, excitements, and relaxations of
travel, while they are enjoying many a comfort in
the quiet of their homes, for which a traveller
looks in vain, I shall bo satisfied with these let
ters, and I trust so will the readers of The Press.
It is always well in travelling to take things as
comfortably as possible, and, therefore, if you have
a choice between starting in the morning and
reaching your destination in the middle of the
day, and starting so as to arrive at your proposed
stopping place towards the cool of the evening, by
all means take the fatter course. Acting upon this
principle we took the afternoon train for this place
in preference to the morning train, which gets, in
about noon. The ride on the North Pennsylvania
Railroad was delightful. The ears arecomfortable,
the road well and solidly laid, so that there was
but little jar, and there was scarcely any pereepti•
blo duet. The absence of dust—which is one of
the great annoyances of railroad travelling—was
owing to the foot that the road throughout its en•
tire length is ballasted with stone. The country
through which the road passes Is of itself wail
worthy of attention. The rich farms of Montgo
mery and Bucks °matfett wore to be seen in all
their beauty and perfeotion. The long•oontinned
rains of the early summer had kept the scorching
suns of the last few weeks from so parching
the ground as to deprive vegetation of its
verdure end beauty. the hay crop hod
mostly been gathered ; but here and there a
luxuriant field of clover lay green in the
sunlight, the delicately tinted blossoms mellowing
and adding richness to the general hue of the
field. The broad acres of oats and wheat stood
waving their golden and life-sustainin4 burden,
ready for the reaper; or long rows of grain al
ready ant and bound in sheaves awaited trans.
',creation to the ample barns. Numerous fields of
corn in dark and glossy green strewed careful
farming and a favoring season. It was a bright,
clear afternoon. and the atmosphere without even
a hese. Far off on the left as we passed through
the lower part of Montgomery. the bills on the
other side of_ the Sehuylkill stood out against the
western sky, the distance giving a faint bluish
tinge to their forest-orowned summits. A mile or
two beyond Sellersville is the tunnel, twonty-one
hundred and fifty feet long, out through Landis's
Bldg*. The !road bed is here four hundred and
thirty. three feet above the level of the sea. Still
ascending as we advance, about ten miles beyond
the tunnel we reach the summit at Same's Gap,
five hundrisd and ninety-seven feet above tide
water, and just on the boundary between Lehigh
and Bucks. And now we begin to descend, follow-
ing the valley of the Balloon °reek, still about two
miles this side of Bethlehem, when the road takes
a westerly,direation, and loon strikes the banks of
the Lehigh, and keeping close along the river,
tionneots with the Lehigh Valley Road at the
Bethlehem station.
Omnibuses aro in waiting to tako travellers to
the different hotels. We • found our way to the
Sun Rotel, whore we were speedily made own
fortable ; and the sound of the tea-gong was not
unwelcome' afccr our three-hours ride. '
Before saying anything further about our jeer.
ney, there is ono foot that foil under my observa
tion, which I could not account for, but perhapa
some of your readers may. APpleton'a Railroad
Quids hoe been my travelling companion for some
years, whenever I have had occasion to leave
home, and it has always been found reliable. Of
course, before starting ou my present trip, the
number for July, 1858..vras duly procured, part of
the contents being " New Time Tables corrected
to dote." The time of starting stated in Apple.
ton, not according with the advertisement in The
Press, I obtained from the conductor on the
train a card, issued by the railroad company, con
taining the time-table which bad boon in use since
May 11th. Judge of my surprise when I found
that Appleton a timetable corresponded with the
card as to one train out of four, each way, only.
A little further examination brought out tho fact
also, that while the card gave the time-labia for
eight trains each way daily, Appleton was con
tented to give the time for only the through trains,
omitting oven to mention the feet that there are
four trains daily to and from Fort Washington, In
addition to the through trains. Mad thin hap
paned with regard to some distant, out-of- the-way,
irregular, and but little used road, it Might have
been excused; but it shakes one's confidence to

• The exhibition of the plans for the Central

persons from all parts of the country visited New
York to see this display of the skill, taste, and inge
nuity of the arehiteets ana landsoape gardeners
of America There were thirty-five plans, in
cluding four prize plans. There were also several
largo models in plaster upon which an immense
amount of labor was bestowed. Tho competition
brought forth an amount of ability truly astonish

scape gardening a . study. The first prize of
52 500 was awarded to Calvert Vaux and Fred
Law Olmsted. Them gentlemen are widely
known in the world of art. "'Villas and Cottages,"
the beautiful volume by Mr. Vaux. has carried his
name into every rural residence, exhibiting an
advance in taste and beauty. Mr: Olmsted is the
author of the interesting book "Walks and Talks
of an American Farmer in England." Like

of this place is so interesting that we transfer it

The baker had begged of us not to leave Birk

proceeded to it. As we approached the entrance
we were met by women and girls, who, holding

a large teat was pitched, and a party of boys in

were playing cricket. Beyond this was a large
meadow wltb rich groups of trees, under which
a flock of sheep were reposing, and girls and
women, with Children, wore playing.
W bile watching the cricketers, we were threat

sent at once for their carriages, but a large pro•

Cram the garden. The slimmer housed, lodges,

decaying materials. Ono of the bridges which we
crossed was of our countryman, Bomingten's
patent, an extremely light and graceful erection.
I obtained most of the following lefotination
from the head corking gardener:
The site of the park and garden was, ten years
ego, a flat, earth., (day farm. It was placed in
the hands of Mr. Paxton in June, 1844, by whom
it was laid out in its present form by Jane of the
following year. Carriage roads, thirty:four feat
wide, with borders of ten feet. and walks varying
in width, were first drawn and made. The exca
vation for a pond was also mode, and the earth
obtained from these sburcea need for making
mounds and to vary the surface, which has been
done with much naturalness and taste. The
whole ground was thoroughly under-drained, the
miner drains of atone, the main of tile. By these
sufficient water is obtained to fully supply the
pond. °Hake, Re thereon It, which is from twenty
to forty feet wide, and about three feet deep, and

swans.
The made .are macadamised. On each side of
the carriage wa7 and of all the walks, pipes Etc
arc laid, which communicate wit h deep
main drains that run under the edge of all the
mounds or flower beds. The walks are laid first
with six inches of fine broken stone, then three
inches of cinders, and the surface with six Indies
of tine rolled gravel. All the stones in the ground
which were not used for these purposes were laid
in masses of rook-work, end mosses and reek-
Vents attached to them, The mounds were then
planted with shrubs, and heaths, and ferns, and
the beds with dowering plants Between these
and the walks and drives is everywhere a bolt of
turf (which, by the way, it kept clone out, with
qirt, broad mytims, and ahem and swept with
fiairbroonte. as we saw). Then the rural lodges,
temple. perillinn, bridges, orchestra for a band of
imstrumental music, dm., were built. And so, in
one year, the skeleton of this delightful garden
was oomplete.
But this is but a small part. Beside the cricket
and archery ground. large valleys were made tier
dant, extensive drives arranged, plantations,
clumps, and avenues of trees formed, and a large
park laid nut. And all this magnificent pleasure
groped is entirely, unreservedly, and forever the
people's own The • poorest British peasant is as
free to enjoy it, in all its ports, as the British
Queen. Moro than that, the baker of Birkenhead
has the pride of an °wake in it.
Is It not a grand good thing? But you are in

fine manglers are already built on these (having

cost the town 'between fi e and six hundred thou
sand dollars. It gives employment, at present, to
ten gardeners and laborers in summer, and to five
in winter.
The'generous spirit, anti fearlesi enterprise that
have aceomplished thin have not been otherwise
forgetful of the health and comfort of the poor.
Among other things, I remember a public washing
and bathing house for the town to provided. I should
have mentioned, also, in connection with the
market, that in the outskirts of the town there is
a range of stone slaughter-houses, with stables,
yards, pens, supplies of hot end cold water, and
other arrangements and conveniences, that en
lightened regard for health and decency would
suggest.
The consequence of all these sorts of things Is.
that all about the, town, lands which a few years
ago were almost worthless wastes have become of
priceless value ; whore no sound was board but the
bleating of goats, and braying of asses, complain
ing of their pasturage. there is now the hasty
ollek and ()latter of many hundred buoy trowels

a few smattered huts, surrounded by quagmires.
Docks of unequalled size and grandeur are build

and there is no doubt that this young tome is to be
not only remarkable as a most agreeable and
healthy place of residence, but that it will soon ho
distinguished for extensive and profitable com
merce. It seems to mo to bo tho only town I over
saw that bus been really built at all in accordance
with the advanced POICITICO, taste, and enterprising
spirit that are supposed to distinguish the nine
teenth century. Ido not doubt it mightbo found
to bare plenty of exceptions to its general oba
raoter, but I did not inquire for these. nor did I
happen to observe them. Oertainly, in What I
have noticed, it is a model town, and may ho held

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
[For The Press]
- 2n The PI4.18; - a
few days ago, appeared a pira
graph giving the state of the thermometer upon
the 4th of July, 1776, " when the Declaration of
Independence was signed." -
The Declaration of Independence was not signed
on that day, but on and after the 2d of Augtist,
1776, as appears from the letter of Governor
bfo-
Rean upon the subject, printed in the Appendix to
the drab volume of the Laws of Pennsylvania.
(Dallas's edition )
Owing to this delay, one who voted for the De
claration (Ilenry Wiener, of New York) slid hot

members of Congress on the 4th of July, when it
was adopted—namely, Matthew•Thorntort. Berija.
min Rush, George Clymer, James Smith, George
Taylor, and George Ross. Governor Moltian
states that Matthew Thornton did not take his
seat in Congress until the 4th of Nivember, 1776,
four months after the adoption of the Declaration,
and that the other named were not chosen =tim
bers of Congress until the 20th of July. The

and. imprisoned.
[Prom the Nan York Rimless, July 22
The curtain fell; yesterday, mien the 'de Riviera
scandal, at least until molt time as the " gallant
Z 'nave" may turn up—if he ever does turn up.
One of the eiders and abettesa (Innate) has re
ceived the reward of his isomplloit4 in the abduc
tion of Miss 'Blonnt—having. been sentenced to
pay a fine of two hundred dollars, to be imprie
oned twenty days in the county jail of Hudson,
and on the expiration thereof, to be further im
prisoned until the fine be paid. Judge Ogden re
viewed the matter in a clear .and forcible manner,
in a very able opinion. His Honor plainly said that
while he would impose snob 'a sentence as
would show that he would uphold the dig
nity of tbo court, and teach people that they
could not contemn its mandates with impunity, he
would also teach them what it was to aid the Ma
chinations of a foreign adventurer of questionable
if not reckless character, In keeping a child from
her parent, and in aiding a wife to rebel against
the authority of her husband.' Such a decision,
wo think, minuet fail to give general satisfaction.
In regard to. the lawyer, Mulford,, it is indeed a
sad state of things when we find a millibar of an
honorable profession, apparently in good standing,
guilty of subornation or perjury, aiding this ad- ,
venturer in xlibing a father of his.obild, and him
self carrying that child in the company of a hotel
keeper and his /militant, at the dead of night; to

Rupp's history of Dauphin county:
" The Mans ion House, situated on the river
bank, was surrounded by a stockade forsecnrity
against the Indians, An English officer was one
night at thobonse, when by accident, the gate of the
etookado was left unfastened. The officer, clothed
in his regimentals, was seated with Mr. Harris
and his wife at the table. An Indian entered the
gate of the stockade and thrust his rifle through
one of the port-holes of the house, and, it is 'sup
posed, pointed it at the officer. The night being
damp, the gun simply flashed. Instantly Mrs.
Harris blow out the candle, to prevent the Indian
aiming a second time, and he retreated. •
" It has been observed that John Harris kept ar
ticles for trade with the Indians. At one period
Mrs. Harris had an Trish girl in her employ. Oa
