Our tclt'urnpJilo coIutnnn yeRtenlny announnod that J( m rson l)vl, liihteaJ of belnir pot io I lie experience of turn lu Llbliy 1'rinou, whom. In (he dnys ot his troHSon, lie tortured to ileum men better than himself, has been ttu (To red to fo fit luiKC, without even the form of a lei; il nquiry into his conduct. The clause of me Constitution wnicb Oellnes treanou nnnlust me enunlry, find the liiwN of Confess whlcti IireKcrloo the proper punishment of treason are made a tioud letter. For all Ui.it appears, the crime of trpnson is liouoe forlU as nft) to commit lu tho UnileJ Btntu n )eculntlou Is in New York, city. Tills Is the construction which is loricd upon the cnso by tne fact that the first use which the bonded traitor purposes to make or his enlargement is to o at once to a foreign country, beyond the reach of our laws, it wouUl be some natlsfaciion if we should find that he has hlmsell u sniric.ieut comprehension of what is due to his con utryA laws to remain beyond their reajh, I bus makiiiK the only atonement now in his power by a voluntary exile. It might make a better inheritance for lils posterity, If he should leave behind him this testimony to tho criminality ot treason and the sacredness of law. As he leaves the country with the conni vance of his bondsmen, it is plain that they consider the bailment a mere matter of form a farce and that they have no expectation of beliiK called upon to pay tne hundred thousand dollars, as the ransom ol a traitor. Their de- irelOHlKH the bond is only for the sake of having their names' enrolled for posterity as those who tihidly did all In their power to pro cure his exemption from the penalty of the law. licl them have their reward. To Mr. Greeley was accorded the proud satis faction of putting his name at the head of the list of bondsmen, lie doubtless looks upon It as the culmination of his lonir-conUnuid efforts In behalf of the Rebellion. It will com pensate all his disappointments In regard to the payment for the slaves, tho surrender of the Houtu to the Rebellion, the peace negotia tions lu Canada, tho permanent recognition of the Government at Richmond. He could not do what he would, but he has ula.lly done what lie could. Ho has at least preser veil n Is consistency to the end. If lie could not com pass the overthrow of law by the force of tho Rebels, he has achieved Its practical abroga tion by the voluntary act of our own oilicUls. We will not rob him of his laurels, nor antici pate the verdict of posterity as to his merits. Mr. Davis, as we must now call him, Is to take a "progress" through the North, in the enjoy ment of his freedom, and doubtless under ttie escort of his Northern friends, his boudsmeu, and others. The hand-shakings, the congratu lations, the triumphant cheers by which he was surrounded at Richmond, as ho stepped forth from the custody of the law, are to lie re peated, we suppose, at Raltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. And the say overhead shall echo to all nations the proclamation that "Thus It shall be done to the man whom the Dulled Buues advance to honor fur his treason." THE CHAMELEON. CHARGES OF COLOR AND MANNER OF TAKING FOOD. Mr. Couch, an English uaturalist, had ex cellent opportunities for observing the changes of color and modes of taking food in the cha meleon. The one in his possession measured ten inches in length, of which the tail was four and a half inches. Its eyes were black and lively, and the pupil deeply seated in a hole scarcely larger than would be made with pin. The movement of each eye was independent f the opposite, and they were rarely directed at one object except when the creature was intent on seizing prey. The movements were Yery slow and deliberate, especially when on the ground. Its color was subject to continual change, but if a creature that rarely retains the same hue for ten minutes together can be Baid to possess one which may be termed its own, it was dusky brown, or almost black, nearly approaching to the darkness of soot. The light was. of more importance to it than the heat, and when basking in the sun, even the mouth was opened to receive the influ ence. A dingy black was its common color when thus enjoying itself. Jioth sides did not always adopt the same colors, for while the one towards the light was sometimes a dark-brown, the other side would perhaps be light-yellow, with white spots. On ne occasion, when the stick on which it rested was touched gently, without waking it, it liecame instantly covered all over with minute lrown spots. On another, when the color was altogether yellow, a book was held so as to cast a shade on the anterior part of the body, while a candle was held within four inches of the hindmost portion; and then presently the illuminated part changed to a light brown, while the shaded portion remained as before, and when the screen was removed the exact limit of the shade was visible. The general belief in its faculty to live with out food or drink, and to subsist wholly upon air, was proved to be incorrect It required water about once in a fortnight, and was very fond of Hies. It not only took all that came in its way, but would seize them as fast as chil dren would bring them; and it even became so familiar with the act as to take them repeat edly from the hand. It was thus easy to mea sure the distance to which it was able to dart its tongue in seizing its prey, which was found to be six inches or rather more than the length of its body. The fly would adhere to the tongue by means of a tenacious mucus with which it was covered. On the approach of cold weather its activity was greatly les sened, and it slept a greater portion of the time. The sunshine would always reanimate it, but artificial heat produced little ett'ect. Its color was varied, and when at last it was found dead, the general hue of its surface was dark. Austrian Court Kiihuette in thr Seven tbkstu Century. A very curious regulation of the Chamberlain's office, bearing date 1624, touching the conduct to be observed by cadets who were invited to dine with an Austrian Archduke, runs as follows: Ilia Imperial and Royal Ilighuesa having deigned to invite several officers to dine at his table, ana naving iiau irejueui opportunities of observing that the greater part of these officers behaved with the strictest courtesy and irood breeding towards each other, and c-enerallv conducted themselves like true and worthy cavaliers, nevertheless deems it ad visable that tne less experiences caueis suouiu have their attention directed to the following .nA nt recrulations: 1. To present their respects to his Imperial and' Royal Highness on their arrival; to come neatly dressed, coat and boots, and not enter 4i. mntn in a half-drunken condition. 1. At table they are not to tilt up their chairs or rock themselves therein, nor stretch their legs at full length. 3. Nor drink at each mouthful, for if they do they will get tipy too soon; nor empty the collet to the extent of more than oue-half after each dibh, and they should wipe the mouth and mustaches in a cloauly manner. 4. Neither are they to thrust their hand into the dishes, nor to throw tho bones under the table. . . 5 Nor to lick their fingers, nor to expecto rate in their plates, nor to wipe their nodes on the tablecloth. (J Nor to drink so beastially as to tall from their chairs and make themselves incapable of walking straight. Marshal Forey ia dangerously ill.

A new caricaturist, by the name of Gill, lias appeared in Paris. His drawings appear in J.a lune. L inter tne trench law of libel, few persons will venture to publish a carica ture without the consent of the parties, lest they should be prosecuted for an attack upon the "consideration" due to every citizen. Ac cordingly, Gill's caricatures of Lachurd, Kmile de Girardiu, Jules Favre, etc., are accom panied by lithographed reproductions, which add greatly to the value of the pictures, of letters authorizing the publication of carica tures. La Luin: lately applied to M. de Lamartine for permission to publish a carica ture of him. The poet wrote the following answer, which seems to show an extraordinary sensitiveness: "However treat my gratitude for the biogra phical iirliclct of which you speak, I canuot authorise In my person a travesty of thehuman laceuivine, wuicu.uiiiiouttn n uugm uotonuuu the man, would be an oileuse against Nuturu, aud turn humanity Into derision. I have already told vou. and I now repeat it. that my consent would be false magnanimity, which would countenance In regard to others a like outrage in the dignity of God's creatures. I will not be an accomplice of such a deed. I told you when you did me tne uonor to can upon me that my face was common property, just, uh tho sun and the river: but that, such as it is. I will not voluntarily profane It, for it represents a man, and is a present irom uou. Receive, etc.. LAMAUTINb. P. S.j-I fully authorize you to publish this letter.
