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.

AGRICULTURAL.
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.
WHEN* valuable animals get sick call in
a veterinary surgeon withou; resorting to
remedies that you don't Know anything
about; and especially don't listen to old
women's cures.

Nature reports a remarkable discovery
by Mr. Alexander Adams, of the Briiisn
PostolEee Telegraph Department: "It is
the existeuce of electric tides in telegraphic
circuits. By long continued and careful
observations lie has determined distinct
variations of strength in those earth cur -
rents, which are iuvariably present on all
telegraphic wires, following tfie different
diurnal positions of the moou with respect
to the earth." 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.
The interest of the Chinese in foreign sci
ence is shown by the publication of nu
merous English and American scientific
treatises in the Chinese language.

and always frank. The shades of nuriit
were falling fast ns she wriggled a little
closer to him and playfully toying with
the lobe of his left ear, said: ' I've a
favor to ask of you, Ferdinand." "Any
thing that I ciin do for you, Clara, darling,
you know I'd be only too happy to under
take." Blie changed to the lobe of the
right tar. took another wriggle and went
on : "Well, then, 1 want you to leave off
whiskey straight for a while and try rock
and rye." His looks expressed his aston
ishment as he uttered the single monosyl
lable : "Why?" "Because," she answered,
continuing her caresses. "Charley Benton
drinks nothing but rock and rye, and his
moustache tastes so much sweeter than
yours does.*' Three mouths later Ferdi
nand entered the holy state of wedlock,but
Clara, still pines upon the stem.

POWER OK WOMAN'S LOYX :--"Have you
been to the seaside, Clara, darling?" The
speaker was a pretty dimpled brunette,
whose eyes were of the peculiar kind that
can gleam with merriment, sparkle with
anger or look with melting tenderness on
those whom their possessor loves. The
person she addressed was a stately blonde
who wore her own back hair. "No,"
responded Clara, a mournful cadence in
her tone." "1 have not been away
ibis summer, but I have saved enough
money by doing mv own washing to buy
the boss sealskin sacque on this block and
don't you forget it." Buch is the power
of woman's love.
