Fruice Napoleon, Americans are sufficiently far away from the scene of European politics to view them more dispassionately than Englishmen. Hence the former have rendered more jus tice than the latter to one of the most striking personalities of the Old World. Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul, the head of the imperial branch of the House of Bon aparte, has often, but incorrectly, been styled Prince Jerome Napoleon. For this uiflmg error he has himself to thank. During his cousin's reign it was obviously impossible lor bim to sign by his first Christiau name alone, it might have led to contusion, aud would have been dis courteous to the sovereign. He accord ingly adopted the signature of "Napoleon (Jerome),'' the latter having been his tatutr s name, luough not his own When the republic seemed to be detiuitely estab lished, at least lor a while, he assumed the more splendid signature of 4 Najx)leon Bouapari.e." Since ihe death of the Prince Imperial he has dropped the 'ißonaparte," aud otherwise given the plaiuest indica tions that, if France ever returns to the lorin of government, he means to be C*ar. They Utile know the Prince who uream that he will atxl cate, iu tavor of one ot his sous, or auy oiffir human being. He has an auimtiou which is bounded only by prudential considerations, and a ues.re to have the suhSiauce rather than the shadow of power. ihe fates alone can tell wbtther we shall ever ace that tace, so like the tace of the conqueror of Austerluz, on Frencu coins aud p**stage stamps. Euough to say that the chances Ot Napoleon V. are not worse than those of Napoieou 111., when, tor.y years ago, the future Euiperor lay iu the forties* ot Haw, a prisoner under a life seuteuce, and, what seemed worse, CeVeied with merited ridi cule. The Freueh character has not mate rially changed since B,UOO,OGU ot Fieuefi lueu ralibeu the coup d'etat. What tie nation nates and tlepiSes to-day it may love to-morrow. And yet there was in the temperament of Louis Napoleou an ele uieut of success which is wanting to the present chief of his line. The mystic aud falaiist Louis had a geuutue behet in his mission as the heir of the great Emperor. Prince Napoleon has no such belief, and the lack of faiih is but poorly supplied by the confidence he entertains in his ow u abilities, though these are of no mean order. Another circumstance, damagiug to the Piince'B prospects, is too notorious to be overlooked. Very unjustly, as there is every reason to believe, he has incurred the reproach most fatal to a soldier and a man who aspires to rule over his brother men. Why persons not blinded by party passion should have stigmatized the Pnnce as a coward it is difficult to see. lie re turned from the Crimea before the war was over, but so did the Duke of Cam bridge without losing his reputation for courage. Both Highnesses were, in fact, re called for the same reason, that they showed a disposition to set their wills above that of their commanders. Prince Napoleon, again, refused to fight the Duke of Auuiale. \\ itn only a child's life be tween him and the Freneh throne he was bound, as a good citizen, to refuse the challenge, which, in truth, was never meant to be accepted. Who can conceive of a duel between the Crown Prince ot Germany and the Duke of Cumberland? For all mat, it is to be regretted, in Prince Napoleon's interests, that he did not cross swords with the Duke of Aumale. The fatal mark is now indelibly branded, as though with a hot iron. Rifle Practice. In order that the rising generation of men in France may be instructed in rifle practice before even they enter the army, a sum of 1,000,000f is to be applied by the minister of war to the purchase of guns for the use of boys in elementary schools. These aims will be similar to the regulation army nfles, but, of course, ligh er. Each school is to receive three, of which one will be specially adapted to being taken to pieces for the practical teaching of the principle and construction of firearms. How H Wou Her. Scottsville, a pretty village atout fifteen miles from the Tennesee line, is the home of some of the most aristocratic people in Kentucky. It is a place noted for pretty girls and gallant young men, and among all these the sweetest belle was Miss Oilie Brown, and the handsomest beau Mr. Jo seph Carpenter. They loved each other unto desperation. In this case, as in many others, the only obstacle was parental ob jection. Miss Brown's mother positively de lared that Ollie was n*)t old enough to get married, and her sweetheart 's entreat ies were in vain. Tne young people made one or two ineffectual attempts at elope ment but they were never once balked in their determination to carry out the scheme in the swett by-and by At last Tuurs day Mr. Carpenter drove in a buggy io tbe residence of his sweetheart, and once more besought her mother to consent to an early wedding. Mrs. Brown was Inexorable, Miss Brown was tearful and Mr. Carpen ter was excited. At last, when every prayer had been denied, the young man boldly put the question to his sweetheart: "Will you go with ir.e, or mind your mother and remain at norne?" The girl looked up through her tears, first at her mother and then at her lover. "I'll go with you," she said at length, "Then come,'' and with these words young C'arpeoter caught bis lady love in his arms, aud, hurrying out of tue house, leaped into the buggy that was sanding in front of the door. The horse received a smart blow with the whip and jumped away in a dead run. As soon as Mrs. Brown realized the situation she scrratned for assistance at the tup of her voice. In a few minutes the liitle town was wild with excitement, but the volume of sym pathy seemed to be with the young people who had just whirled through tbe streets at a terrific rate of spied, taking the road that led to Gallatin, Tenn. The mother whose daughter had been stolen wildly besought somebody to go in pursuit of the fugitives, and if possible to stop the wed ding. At length Mr. Manion, a young lawyer and judge of the police court, con sented. In a few minutes he was mount ed upon a horse of speed aDd bottom, rat tling out of the town in the direction tak en by the buggy at a pace that would have captured the "gentleman's eup" at any fair in the State. From the very start it was a race of whip and spur. The fugi tives were evidently making for Squire Fike's office which is just across the Ten nessee line, and Judge Manion was hot upon their trail. It was a chase long to be re membered by the people who witnessed it. In front a horse flecked with fcam, going at top speed and drawing a light buggy, in which a gallant youth sat, with resolu tion upon his face, ana a beautiful girl nestled trustingly by his side. Perhaps a mile in the rear, a solitary horseman, ap plying whip and spur, thundering along over the level turnpike. The buggy had the best of the nice, and pulled up in front of Squire Fike's office fifteen minutes in the lead of the man on horseback. The clever squire was on the point of pro nouncing the words so feverishly awaited by the young people, when Judge ManioD, riding like a professional jockey l>ore dowD upon the party and signaled the officer to stop. "I object to this wedding," he said, flinging himself oil his panting horse. "Upon what grounds?" asked the aston ished squire. "It is the wish of the lady's mother that she shall not marry. I have come at her bidd ng." The young people pleaded, but all to no purpose. At length Mr. Carptener said in very simple language: "We will go further. into the buggy, my dear. Judge M anion, you may prepare for another race. We are off for Gallatin." The young man meant exactly what he said, and 111 a few minutes the race was renewed. The dis tance to Gallatin was eighteen miles, but the buggy horse was staunch and as true as the love of the young couple ho was drawing. He leaped nimbly away from thestriug, and once more got the best of the start. Judge M Anion, nothing daunt ed, again took to the saddle aud put spurs to his faithful courser. For four miles the race was neck and neck, neither entr for the grand prize flagging; but at the tluish of that distance the horse under saddle cast a shoe and stumbled to the ground, completely exhausted. The buggy then glided, unaccompauied, to Gallatin. A preacher was secured, and the wedding was performed at the principal hotel in the presence of a dozen specially invited guests. A Prptual loe-Goi'Kw, Within an hour's ride of Newton, New Jersey, during the last Summer might have been seen oue of the strangest sights in tLis country—a perpetual ice-gorge. Phis gorge exists at the foot of the Blue Mountains, back ot tiwatuwood Lake and Middleville, ami is but a few miles west of Newton. The gorge is several hundred yards in extent, from teu to thiriy feet deep, with numerous caves and clefts in, the rook where the ice lies. The main gorge is located but a short distance from the mountain, ami the shade at that spot is very dense, the sun apparently never penetrating it. The entire bottom of the gorge is covered with thick, clear ice, ami the crevices ami caves are tilled with it. That it is a natural ice-house there can tit no doubt, huudreds of tons might lie taken out without appreciably decreasing the quant ty. Much of this great mass has doubtless lam there for years, the ice grad ually melting on top and being added to each year. The thermometer, which dur ing the recent drought and "hot spell" reg istered 103 degrees iu Newton, marked just 38 degrees al the same lime at the bottom cf the gorge—too cold for a person to re main there any length of time. A lew feet from one end ot the gorge a spring of the most deli ions sparkling water bubbles up through the ice. It tastes slightly of iron ami is very sa'i factory to the ill rst. This water stands at thirty-four degrees— about as cold as one could comfortably drink it. Samuel Thompson, who owns the farm on which this natural, curiosity has been found, said when asked about the gorge by art porter; "Why, yes, 1 'spose it is rather reniarkab'e, though we never set 110 store by it, 'cept when we wanted ice. The neighbors all goes there when they wants ice and 'taint nece.*s try tor t*'uld any ice houses 'round here. Early in the spring ill' gorge is tilled clean to the top with clear ice, but long in the summer it gets melted down, bu: then they's alters tons and tons o' ice thar au' they hez been ever since Ikm rem her. Ye see th' water runs down offen th' mountain inter that holler during th' fall and as they ain't much outlet it jest stays thur an' freezes. I 'spose some o' th' ice iu that thar cave has been thar forever. The water in the spring, though, is mighty good tastin', aud my wife sets great store by it, 'cause she says't powerful good fer riieumatiz. We hev kuowed 'bout the gorge fer years, but ez 1 reckoned they was plenty jest like it 'round the country 1 never said much 'bout th' ol thing. Y'es, they hez been a good many people 'round here t' see th' spring this summer, but mostly city chaps that was boardin' over t' Nowtou an' come out jest t' see th' sight." Mr. Thompson has been offered large sums of money by en terprising capitalists for the gorge, but declined to sell, as he is wealthy and thinks the property is worth just as much to him as it would be to some one else. Hvw A Conjurer Amused liimself. Verbeck, the well known prestidigita teur, once took it into his head to patronize a hair dresstr in a rather unfashionable quarter of l'aris. The establishment wore a not very prosperous aspect, the staff seeming lar more numeious than the cus tomers. At the conclusion of his fir.>t visit, Verbebk, after paying his tweuty-nve centimes for being shaved, with some os tentation dropped a two franc piece into the receptacle tor the pourboires. A loud and general "Thank you, monsieur," nat urally greeted this princely proceeding, the garcous vying with one another as to who should snow tue generous elicit most attention. On the succeeding day Verbeck made his appearance iu the siiop about the same hour, and was received with marked respect. One as-istaut got a uew cake of soap ready, auother produced a uupkiu of ivory wniteness, while u third carefully stropped the best raz >r in the place. The proprietor himself offered his uew customer a paper, and even the lady of the house step(>ed down from her comploir to ask whether '"monsieur" would like a foot warmer. Verbeck, however, calmly paid the twenty centimes and dropped a couple of francs into the niouty box us before. On tbe tnird day theie was oven greater deference on the part of master, mistress, and men. Two pots of flowers had been orought down from tbe lady's own room to deck the toilet talne in front of which the open handed customer was iu the habit of seatine himself. On the fourth day the hairdresser's youthful daughter paid him a pretty little compliment, at the end of the operation the two francs sliding into the box a9 usual. On Saturday, the (liy on which the money box had to be opened, the excitement became excessive. The pioprietor, in an ungua r ded moment, de cided upon closing the shop an hour before the usual time, and all made up their mluds that the wealthy customer's silver should forthwith be spent in a neighboring wine shop. 80 far, good. On c pcoing the box, however, to the disgust of the expectant circle, not a single piece of silver was to be found. As a natural result, everybody began to Suspect everybody else, the mis trust of the garcons gradually ceutering on the unfortunate proprietor. The mistrust deepened into hints, and the hints into open charges of malversation of the moneys placed in the supposed culprit's keeping; and the position of the latter had become far from enviable when luckily Verbeck thought it time to reveal his identity. Having explained that he had always sub stituted a sou for a two franc piece by slight of hand when seeming to drop the silver into the box, and having compen sated the garcons by the present of a louis, mutual apologies were exchanged between employer and employed, and the post poned visit was made to the wine shop.

ECONOMY or USING OXKN. —The farmers of the Western Stales are at greater ex pense for teams to do their work than per sons ongaged iu the same kind of business olsewhere. They almost invariably employ small or medium sized horses for all kinds of field operations, as well as for learning. They are able to do their work with horses because their land is productive and yields very large crops. Hmall farmers in the New England and Southern Stales cannot generally afford to use horses for plowing and most other kinds of fit Id work on account of the expense attending tlieiu. The employment of machinery on farms has favored the use of houses. They move quicker and fan be managed better than oxen ami 11. ules. In many parts of the prairie region of the West young farmers are entirely unacquainted Willi the use of any other animals for doing any title r kind of work, blill, many farmers, especially those having small means would find it profitable to employ oxen for dang much of their work. Oxen can tie put to work a year earlier than nurses can, aud can be raised much cheaper. it COM s less to keep them and tbey are worth more after they have outlived their working y< ars. They rt quire less protection, ami wll stand ex po.sure much better. They require no har ness, and, unless they travel on ice, nee 1 uti si; >es. They receive le-s injury from insects, and will work better when the weather is stormy or severely cold or bo . Tney are less liable to injuiy and less su - ject to disease. For drawing heavy loads over p sir roads or plowed fields they are vastly superior to horses. They are better for hauling manure, as they work well when attached to carts having but two wheels. Oxen make an excellent team fur breaking prairie, for repaniug roads, fur hauling stone, and for clearing land of stumps. Several pairs ot oxeu ran be worked together to belter Advantage than horses. Oxeu, it not kept till they are old, can be converted into marketable beef and soid at a price ibat will pay lor raising and keeping them. Their labor will tie gain. Horses, however, bog.u to depre ciate in value soon after they attain then growth and eventually become of no value. SAXITAKY CONDITION OK FAKM-MOIWES. —Farmers who are about it) build houses, by observing certain precautionary meas ures will greatly mitigate all sickness arising from malaria, such as ague or inter mittent fever and nemalgta. The farm house should be situated uot only ou high ground that has a dry surface, but the sub soil ought also to lie dry. In a word, it should have a perfect drainage, natural or artificial. The druiuage of the ground about the house is of great importance, and this should be directed away ftoui the well that supplies the water for domestic use. A whole chapter might he written ou the evils resulting from drinking water from wells that are supplied with surface water and tbe filtering of si ip-draius, et<. In districts in near proximity to rivers, marshes or other sources of malaria, ac count should be taken of the directi gi ot prevailing winds, so that the house will not be erected on the side of these mala ria -producing distric s to receive the mala ria brought by the winds. For instance, if the prevailing winds are westerly, avoid building on the east side of a marsh or pond. While a house ought not to be densely shaded by trees, it is well, in damp localities, to plant rapidly-growing trees, because they take up much of the mois ture. Iu malarial sections the slot ping rooms should be at the top of the house, not on the ground floor. An observance of these ami similar rules will do much to ward promoting the health of a family. One word more—avoid outdoor exposure early in tiie morning and late at night in malarious regions ; boil all tue water that is used for drinking pusposes, and prevent any vegetable matter from decaying 111 or around the dwelling. IN the cultivation of corn, potatoes, and similar crops, stirring the soil among tiie plants can scarcely be repeated too ire quently during the early part of tbe sea son ; in fact, these operations may be con tinued until the crop is well on to maturity Every time the plough or cuitivalor is run through the rows small weeds are de stroyed, lumps brokeu up, and air aud its accompanying moisture admitted. Tbe ground may be too wet for ploughing or stirring with cultivators aud hoe , but it i> never too dry, the more frequent v these implements are used iht more mois ture will the soil absorb from the air. If any of our read rs doubt this, lei them try a small plat of ground during dry wemher, stirring the soil every day, aud leave an adjoining plat undisturbed. The tir.-t will remaiu moist and spougi-like long alter the other is as dry as dust. Tbe same effect is produced in the frequently culti vated corn field, and a good ciop can olteu be made iu a dry season by the constant use of tbe plough and cultivator, when it they are not used the plants would cer tainly perish.

A fuller and more satis factory exposition of the matter was to be given by the author. A Chinese physicist asserts that the law which is commonly accepted, aud which states that the octave of any note may be produced by doubling the length of the musical cord or tube, is strictly true only for cords. He says that experiments with tubes of different lengths and diameters have led him to the conclusion that the ratio ot length is as t to 9 instead of 1 to 2.
