THE DAILY E V EN1NQ TELEG11AFII rillLADELPIIIA, MONDAY, FEBRUARY J3, 1871. TDE EUrEROR OF CIIINA. Trvm AppUton's JoummU At the great exposition. At Taris held in eighteen sixty-seven, Miscalled the world's, because the world waa there, To upend its cash called spare, But not to profit by the fair, Given by fair France to better her condition, lj bringing to her dough some foreign leaven To make it rise, alan! to fall again, And turn her pain to pain Two monarchs came, The very first in European fame: One was the Prussian William, gray and tall; The other, Alexander, The Russian Czar, himself not very small The man who tried to imitate Leandor, And swim the Hellespont without the drown ing And yet will do't, in spite of England's frown ing. Well, these two monarchs greatly liked each other; They called each other brother; They wandered through the streets and ave nues, And smaller rues, And boulevards, and Champ de Mars, Without a single aide-de-camp or servant, Of every little whim to be observant, , Alone, and quite unknown In short, incog. Que sais-je what they sought ? Perhaps 'twas prog. Peculiar prog, the taste ofgfrog, Or steak of horse, To know what sort of meats the French would feed on, When William should come back with armed force A little plan, perhaps, they then agreed on; Terhaps to study The natural history of man and woman (A science very human), And see grisettes, the ruddy, In pretty little caps, Which they don't doff, on dit, when taking naps. So it fell out, one day, The monarchs had been asked by Nap to dine, To taste imperial wine, Entirely earn facon, no sort of party, But just to eat and drink, and have a hearty Laugh at the world's expense a royal time; Surely, that's no great crime, For kings and emperors most be very seri ous They must not laugh in publio, nor appear Otherwise than imperial and imperious, For very fear That other folks will think that they are men, And pry into their titles now and then. Well, on this day, when they were asked to dine, And to do so "did seriously incline," They found themselves far distant from the spot The streets quite dusty, and the weather hot When, looking at his watch, the king cried out: 'Why, what are we about ? We dine at seven, and new 'tis half-past six; We're surely in a fix I Here are we now, a mile across the Seine, About the Latin Quarter, While in the Tnileries the best champagne Is in iced water." "And then, besides, far worse betides," Said Alexander "we don't know the way. And not a carriage or a cabriolet, Quatre places ou deux, appears in sight. Was ever such a plight ? "No matter," said King William; "let us try To learn the way from some kind passer-by. And bo, aooosting a good-looking man, He said, "Monsieur, pray tell me, if yon can And if you please The nearest way to reach the Tnileries." "Mais eertainement" the Frenchman bowed quite double "I can with little trouble; I go myself to dine at Lea Trois Freres, And pass the palace on my journey there; So go with me." And, thanking him, they went Conductor Heaven-sent By cross-streets and short cuts the nearest way, Until at length they came upon the quai. ThuB, travelling fast and far, They crossed the river by the Pont des Arts, And stood before the palace-portal wide; And then their guide, Waving his hand with graoeful courtesy, Outspoke: "Messieurs, void Les Tnileries; and now, if I may ask, As guiding you has been a pleasant task, And as you seem to Paris come from far, Pray tell me who you are." The Emperor raised his hat and bowed, As if to say, "You do me proud," And said: "I am the Emperor of Russia, sir!" . The King raised his, And, with unaltered phiz. Replied: "And I the King of Prussia, sir!" And here, no doubt, the matter would have ended, But that the kind Parisian seemed offended At what to him was a disoourteous joke. Then Alexander spoke: "Pray tell us too your name, the name of one Who for our sakes this courteous deed has done." The Frenchman took his hat entirely off, And, with a shrug that had a spice of sooff, bhaking his head, be simply said: 'I am the Emperor of China, sirs ! How strangely it ooours That finoa great men should, now and then, Each other meet in Paris, as we do t Two emperors and a German king -parhleu Parbleul Messieurs! I Adieu III And, bowing low, he left them lost in wonder, And then to fear that they had made a blunder; But, when at last they saw his true intent, The king said, "Sappermentf" And Alexander swore a Russian oath, Quite stroDg enough for both. Then each laughed roaringly, and held his side; They laughed until they cried, And thus were hardly able 1 To tell the story at Napoleon's table. They had a jolly time, and many toasts "The Fair,T,"La France," and "their impe rial no&ts; But many a bumper quaffed each diner - royal To "nip! hurrah! The Emperor of China!" IIekbi dx Coibsy. On Saturday Mr. Fagln, who is engaged a engineer of Fairchlld's mill, about three miles from Jacksonville, Ua., left his home for Jack sonville early in the day, and on his return found bis wife's sister, Mitts Rosalie Carlin, and his two children, aged six and four years, re spectively, with their heads chopped to pieces with an axe, which had been left sticking in the tkull of the youDfceet child. Two gold watches nd t00 in gold had been taken. lURIS BEFORE THE FALL. The RUIi-Cavlm mt Mama aad Delivery f Flt-areaa A Rallied Pace la the HUtorv mt ibeRirca. The Paris correspondence of the Pall Mitl Gazette, dated January 23, supplies the most coherent aooount of the capture of Mazas, and the subsequent disturbances. It runs thus: "The capture of Mazas by the gentle men of the commune will not rival the taking of the Bastile, This morning we have the whole account of the affair from an eye-witness, who relates how the Governor of the prison, on hearing of the arrival of the rioters, and that three delegates desired to speak with him, finally went out to parley with the multitude, which demanded the release of Gu stave Flour ens. While the Governor was parleying, much to the disgust of the captain of the National Guards who commanded the garrison and desired to re sist, one of the insurgents quietly took the keys out of the concierge's room and opened the large gates. The Commune immediately rushed in, and M. Bayet, the Governor, politely pointed out the room where Flou rens was confined. The door was opened, and the celebrated major, dressed in full uniform, found himself in the arms of les freres et amis, who em braced him. Flourens, however objeoted to leave Mazas before his fellow-prisoners had been liberated, and the obsequious Governor, candle in band, lighted the way to the cells where Leo Melliet, Bauer, and other political prisoners were incarcerated. When these worthies bad been set free, the Commune re turned in triumph to Belleville, and no doubt celebrated its successful raid in the usual manner. Work of a more serious nature took place at the Hotel de Ville, which fortunately was prepared for an attack. About 1 o'clook a couple of hundred rioters, most of thetu in the uniform of the National Guard, came along the Hue de Itivoli, loaded their mus kets, and marched up to the Hotel de Ville. One of the gates opened, and a dozen Mobile Guards made their appearanoe; both parties brought their wea pons up to their shoulders, but a sudden panio seized on the rioters, and they fled in company with some spectators, who began to think matters were looking more serious. The fugitives rallied near the Bridge of Notre Dame, and returning to the Hue de Rivoli, fell into line on the pavement, crying 'Vive la Commune! A bas les Bretons!' These misguided and determined men were ad dressed by an officer of the National Guard, and retired. It was hoped that the emeute was over, but about three o'clock another body of rioters made its appearance doming down ?he Hue dn Temple, shouting 'A bas Trochu! Vive la Commune!' The men drew up in front of the Hotel do Ville, and endea vored to tear down the railings. Three Breton officers went out, and from behind the railing asked the rioters what they wanted. Will your men fire on the people? said a man in the uniform of an officer of the Na tional Guard. To this Colonel Vabra an swered that his men would not fire while they were parleying. The men of the Commune were not so particular, for Colonel Vabre had hardly uttered these words when the rioters fired on him and his friends, and wounded one of the officers in three places. The Colo nel and commandant tried to re-enter the Hotel de Ville, but could not open the door, and several shots were fired at them, which fortunately did not take effect. Happily, the Mobiles quartered in the Hotel de Ville opened fire from the win dows, and soon threw the rioters into con fusion; they beat a hasty retreat, but con tinued to keep up a fire on the Hotel de Ville from a distance, and behind corners, etc. After the firing had lasted half an hour, a white flag was exhibited on the Place de Greve, and an officer of the National Guard, with a yard of white calico at the end of his sword, implored both sides to cease firing. The facade of the Hotel de Ville had been pitted with bullets, and the hands of the clock, struck by a projectile, stood still at P. M. When the firing ceased, some 100 bodies strewed the ground, but most of them got up and ran away when the noise of musketry stopped. However, seve ral men were killed, and among the slain was an officer, supposed ' to be the ex Commandant Sappia, dismissed the service a couple of months ago. The dead were quickly removed, and sand was thrown over the pools of blood in the Plaoe de Greve. When the battle was over, strong reinforce ments arrived, and in a very short time Paris was swarming with troops, which had been called out for fear of another attempt being made to disturb the peace and unseat the Government. In the evening M. Jules Ferry, Maire of Paris, issued a circular to the other "Makes and the commanders of dis tricts, in which he said that some factious National Guards of the One Hundred and First Battalion had attempted to take the Hotel de Ville, which had been fired at from the opposite houses, occupied before hand by the rebels. 'Bombs, 'says the Maire, 'and explosive balls were fired at us. The aggression was of the most odious and cow ardly description from beginning to end, as first of all a colonel and two officers were fired on when parleying, and afterwards, when we had ceased firing, muskets were discharged at us from the houses in front of the Hotel de Ville.' M. Jules Ferry regret that glorious and unhappy Paris should have been exposed to such an attack, which, 'as oowardly as it was foolish, has sullied so pure a page. " Germin Republicans. German republi cans probably watch with complaoency the establishment of the empire. ' Their adver sary has henceforth a single neck, and if at any time they are strong enough to change tne lorm oi government, meir repuuuo win be ready to their hands. The enemies of monarchy nave lately oonoentratea tneir ani mosity on the King of Prussia, with the plausible pretext that he and his minister deliberately pursue a warlike polioy with a view to the maintenance of military despo tism. If the charge should prove to have any foundation, perseverance in the alleged system will arouse a formidable opposition. It is probable that a large part of the population of Germany already regarda the prolongation of the campaign with disappointment and dissatisfaction, and it will be impossible to repeat the experiment of an equally popular war. Unless Russia were unwise enough to assail German feel ings or interests, no opponent who could be selected would arouse a genuine spirit of national antagonism. The German Parlia ment will probably be independent enough to resibt a warlike and aggressive policy. The middle classes who in Prussia struggled long and resolutely against the king's schemes of military organization will, as far as they are represented in the German Parliament, con tinue to arge ine reduction oi ine army. The heir of the empire is believed to share their opinions; and, if the liberal party is defeated, the republicans may have a chanoe. A SUA BB T-OENTEEL MAN., ' Colonel Frederick was son of that unhappy adventurer, Theodore, King of Corsica. He joined his father, who died in Soho in 1756, and supported himself as a teacher of languages- cot uncommon resource for poor gentlemen, and emigres in particular. In the miserable wreck of his fortunes, and through the agonies ef deferred hope, he still preserved the great seal and regalia of Corsica. The Colonel in early life, as a needy gentleman, bad been reading seoretary to Frederick the Great, who treated him with that agreeable Prussian pride that bears so lightly on the unfortunate. The King always kept him standing while he read his foolish verses and literary essays to Voltaire and other guests seated at his table. Weary of this, the Col onel applied to his relation, the Duke of Wurtemberg, who offered him protection at his court. When the King of Prussia was informed of this, he said cruelly: "And you may go; it is fit that one beggar should live with another." He was once in such distress at the Court of Vienna, as to have gone two whole days without food. Pate and faint, on the third day he contrived to reaoh the house of a lady in attendance at the court, whose interest to advance bis petition with the Emperor he had before tried to secure. Seeing too plainly from his weak voioe and faltering, dejected manner, that he was ill, the woman's heart was touched; she instantly rang the bell, ordered the well-fed. blooming footman to bring in a dish of chocolate and some cakes; and when he was cheered and heartened up, listened to his request. In ambush behind that footman Cupid stole in on tip-toe; they fell in love with each other, and married. Their life was hard and painful; yet love and happiness brightened their poor lodgings. One of the sons, an elegant young man, became an officer in the British army, and was killed in the American war. One day, when the Colonel was with his father in the Bench, Sir John Stewart, a fellow prisoner, invited Lady Jane Douglas and her child, the claimant in the great Douglas Hamilton case; and King Theodore and his son were of the party. The feast culminated in a turkey. The prison walls fell flat as those of Jeiicho before the pleasant en chantment of a bottle or two of wine. When the party broke up the young Prince offered to see Lady Jane home to her obscure lodgings at Chelsea. A slight rain came on, and the young officer longed to call a coach, but he had no money, he knew, and he was afraid Lady Jane had none either; so, defiant of all suspicions of meanness and poverty, he undertook the child and trudged away. This son of a King suffered much of fortnne, and the clouds grew darker aud darker to the end. To this claimant of a crown creditors' faces were only too familiar. When Stanislaus, Prince Poniatowski, afterwards the last King of Poland, was here, the only companion of his long walks was Colonel Frederick. On one occasion the Prince, having, some bills to discount in the city, and not getting the money that day, went for a walk round Islington, and re turned to a dinner of rump steaks and porter at Dolly's chop house in Paternoster Row. After finishing a bottle of port, the mauvais quart d'heure came, as it will oome, and the bill was brought. The Prince blandly ap proved and desired Frederick to pay. "But I have no money." "More have I; what are we to do?" Frederick paused; telling the Prince to re main quiet, he ran out and pledged his watch, and discharged the reckoning. Ceaselessly and cruelly fortune pelted the Colonel with her sleet and outting rain. His lodgings in NorthumberlandTtreet were burnt down, and he had to fly half nude to the house of Mr. Stirling, officiating coroner for Middlesex, who generously offered him a gratuitous asylum, where he resided for many years, reading the classics, and discussed the German generals of the day, according to his wont. The Colonel's life was one of blameless routine. He rose early, lighted his own fire, cleaned his own boots, then took a breakfast cooked by him self, and read the classios: then it was time for him to take his constitutional and visit his friends. At last fortune, tired of playing with her victim, struck a coup de grace. The old Colonel, beloved and respected by his friends, in a rash moment aooepted two notes for a friend, "a trading justice." The man died before the notes became due. and the city people came down on the Colo nel. He had no money; he dreaded dis grace and a jail; his old despondenoy preyed on film witn a weight of madness. He thought of his favorite heroes in Tacitus and Plutarch, and resolved to die as they died. He borrowed a pistol of a friend, and shot himself one evening in the churchyard of St. Margaret, Westminster. Tormented by for tune to the last, died the son of the first and only KiDg of Corsica. English Society. Water-clocks. Bowls were used to mea sure time, from whioh water, drop by drop was discharged through a . small aperture- Such bowls were called water-clocks (cUn- sydra It was then observed how much water from such a bowl or cask, from sun rise till tne shortest shadow, molded down into another bowl placed beneath; and this lime Deing tne nau or tne whole solar day, was divided into six hours. Consequently, they took a sixth of the water which had trickled down, poured it into the upper bowl, and, this discharged, one hour had expired. But afterward a more convenient arrange ment was made. They observed how high the water at each hour rose in the lower bowl, . marked these points, and counted them, thus finding out how many hours there were till sunrise. With the Chinese, water-clocks, or clepsydras, are very old. Thev used a round vessel, filled with water. with a little hole in the bottom, which was placed upon mother vessel. When the water in the upper vessel pressed down into the lower vessel, it subsided dt degrees, an nouncing thereby the parts of time elapsed. The Babylonians are said to have used such instruments; from them the Greeks of Asia Minor cot them, at the time of Klnor Cvrus. about the year 650 before Christ. But the Romans did not get the first water-clock be fore the year ICO before Christ. But, though the hours of the clepsydra did not vary in length, thev still counted them from the morning. When the clock with us strikes seven, the ancients counted one; when the clock with ns strikes twelve, the ancients counted six. and so forth. This method of counting the hours was, according to the New Testament, also customary in Palestine at the time of Christ. The water-clocks had this advantage, that they could be used in the night: and the Romans used them to divide their night-watches, which were relieved four times, both summer and winter. Con formably to these four night-watches, time was counted, not only in ltome, but where ever Roman garrisons were stationed; conse quently, alse in Palestine, after she had be come a Koman province. The first night watch was railed verpera (evening), from sunset to 9 o'clook; the second, tnedin nox (midnight), from 9 to 2 o'clook; the third, gaUicinium (cock-crowing), from 2 to 3 o does; and tne fourth, mane (morning;, from 3 o'clock to daybreak.
