Mrs. Low’s hand trembled as she passed her boy s
oup. It was Ilia lasi moat under that roof fur ininy
n tong day. She did not trust herself to speak—her
heart was too full. She hud hoard all his
father so lujudiolously said to him, and sho knew
too well from former experience the effect It would
have upon his impetuous, fiery spirit. She had oifTy
to oppose to it a mother’s prayers, and tears, and nil
enduring lave. She never condemned, in Will's
hearing, any of his father’s phlllippios, always ex
cusing him with tho general remark that ho did’nl
understand him. Atone, she mourned over it, f nd
when with her husband, tried to place, matters on a

CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1853.
The Empress Eugenie ahd Mrs. lMaid,
The Parisian correspondent of the Philadelphia
under dale of the 6lh olt., gives the fol
lowing French morceau:
Tho Parls papers, by this week’s steamer, will
announce to you the great affliction which has
just befallen the imperial family; but, for the very
good reason that they dare not, they will not tell
you. the circumstances which led to 4his ; misfor
tune. You and your readers, perhaps, will scarce
ly'credit what I relate, but l.assure voti that here
it is not only believed, for by persons
whose veracity Uis impossible to doubt. In the
saloons, in the clubs, in the ateliers, nothing else
i> talked of; and the police is daily arresting per
sons imprudent enough to discuss the mailer fn
tho streets.
You are probably aware tlial a few days before
his .marriage,' Louis Napoleon dismissed Mrs.'
Howard, the mother of his three little pirls. tind
she took refuge in England. He had offered her
a residence and a pension in Franco, butlhis she
refused. Two weeks ago she returned to Paris*
on business, probably, though many say she came,
by the Emperor’s request. Be that as it may, the
Empress heard of her arrival, and was highly In*
dignant that she should have been allowed to en
ter France. Thereupon a conjugal Caudle scene
ensued, at the end of which her Majesty declared
that if she mot Mrs. Howard sho would punish
her for her presumption, and givo her a lesson
which she woald remember. His Majesty merely
shrugged jiis shoulders at this threat,'doubtless
thinking it nothing more than' an ebullition of
words, which would bo forgotten with the excite*
ment which caused it. He was 100 confident, and
the Empress was as good as her promise. The
very next day, .while riding in the Bois de Bou
logne on her spirited Andalusian, and accompa
nied only by her ladies and grooms, she was stop
ped in a by-road by a carriage. At first the Em
press was about to turn aside and let the carriage
pass; but glancing at its occupant, she recognized
Mrs. Howard, and, determining not to give her
the road, she reined up her horse and waited for
the carriage to turn out of the way. But Mrs*
Howard had recognized her rival also, and calling
up her pride and spirit, sho ordered her coachman
not to give the road. A few words were exchan
ged between the latter and the Empress’ attend
ants, but ho refused to go contrary to .his orders.
After a moment’s suspense, during wliich the two
ladies made big eyes at each other, the Empress
galloped to the side of the carriage, and, in a most
impolite manner, struck Mrs. Howard with her
riding whip. The other raised her parasol, and,
before the attendants could interfere, a regular bat
tle began between the whip and the parasol and
the longues of their owner's, until the whip being
the stronger of the. two, broke the parasol, and
Mrs. Howard sank back, fainting on the carriage
cushions, her toilette and curls in a deplorable
slate, While the Empress who had received no vi.
sible damage'gkre-a triumphant little laugh and
galloped away, followed by her suit, every mem
ber of which was slupificd by the scene which they
had been forced to Witness.
But a crowd had already collected, and a few
gens d’arms coming up, Mrs. Howard was carried
•Into a house near by, whore her wounds—-tiiejash
had left more than one mark flpdlT*frarTace : --word
dressed, and (he disorder of her toilette repaired}
and when the idlers had departed, she repaired t d
Paris where she Is still quite ill. As to the Em
press, she returned to (he Tuillerles as if nothing
had happened; but that very night M. Dubois? who
had received tho appointment of accoucheur to her
Majesty only a fow days before, was sent for, and
forty-eight hours afterwards tho Empress became
«o unwell that there was no longer any doubt that
Louis Napoleon’e hopes of on heir were going to
bo destroyed. Tho matter was, as much as pos
sible, kept secret, and her Majesty was reported
as merely suffering under a slight indisposition.—-
But the whole city was already talking of the
scene in the Bois de Boulogne, and lire result of
the indisposhion was anticipated several days be
fore It actually look place. On Friday last the
Empress’ life was in danger, but thanks to the
skilful treatment, and the mass the Emperor Or
dered to be said in tho Imperial Chapel, she be
came better before night, and is now rapidly con
valescing.
The Emperor has been to see Mrs. Howard, it
Is said, to express his sympathy, and sends an
aide de camp twice a day to inquire after her
health. Whether this is any proof that fie lakes
sides with bis former favorite, it is hard to say,
for he is reported as being very attentive at the
bedside of the* Empress also. His anger at tho
scandal caused by his wife’s conduct must be con
siderably mollified by tho reflection that love for
him Weis the motive, and gratified vanity will pro
bably prevent his chiding either lady for impru
dence.

gerly’gazing at the exciting scene.
ThO procession was about thirty minutes in

The President was received oln the outside of

Mat,'Mr. President, ft is hoi my purposd to di

in tho presence of (he authorities of the city and
adjacent districts, and of our cilizons, I bid you a
sincere and hearty welcome to oar city-
President's Speech in Independence Hall.
Pennsylvania has always been to me an object
of admiration and pride. 1 have read in tho his
tory of her wonderful progress, the history also of
the advancement of the American people in most
of the elements of enduring prosperity.
In a peculiar sense, her resources of wealth and
power repose in her own bosom, Sho is herself
an empire.
The dfivelopemonl of the uses of Iron and coal,
so emphatically one of tho great foundations of
British power and wealth, subsequently to 1816,
will of itself, constitute those minerals alone a
sourre of prosperity to this Commonwealth in all
coming time.
I do not in this allusion forget (hat agriculture
has been tho great unfailing reliance, nor do 1 for
get to how groat an extent the Slate is indebted to
that noble race of German population, always dis
tinguished for their industry, probity, and steady
devotion to civil and religious liberty, who, not
only in Ponnsylvonta,- but out of it, regard hor as
their second father-land.
Yoor citizens are Indeed happy In the good for
tune which blesses them with alt the comforts of
life, and at the Kamo time, enriches tho producer
with tho rewards.of an increasing commerce.
As wo contemplate this spectacle, wo fool how
vain would bo tile attempt to comprehend tho fu- ,
thro—and wo involuntarily look bock upon tho .
path-way of the past, and trace the rapid march to |
greatness, which has made your’s an example of
Imitation and applause.
In this venerable and venerated Hall, in the sa
cred shades where, seventy-seven years ago, tho
patriots of tho revolution planned tho institutions
lof a free country, our thoughts aro compelled to
1 dwell upon (ho past, and Wo bow before tho bbbo

*erlios rest. That was not, lot it bo remembered,
a : porlod free from sopllmeni of conflict or opinion,
oven among th.oao wise and good men. Hero it
was, at a later period, and perhaps tho very dark
est of our history, that Benjamin Franklin, des
pairing of human-wisdom, moved an appeal to the
| wisdom of Heaven.
Sir—Yours, la a proud oily and this a mighty
commonwealth. But oven If yogr mountains and
vnllios were not filled with the elements of domes
tic comfort and extended commerce, if your peo
people woro not as they always have been among
tho first to defend lljo rights and honorof thocoun
try. If your institutions of learning were not among
your prohdost monuments, tho fact that hero was
proclaimed thg Declaration of Independence, at
once tho assertion of our rights and charter of our
liberties, would have given to Philadelphia and
to Pennsylvania a pro-omlnonoo which under the
providence of God no other State or oily upon this
continent can over claim. To such a common
wealth we can look for/|olhlng but patriotic ser
vices and sacrifice!} In'tho o&use of tho country.
Honor, eternil honor, to the self, bravo and sa
crificing citizens of a Ccmmonwoalih, who have
always been among tho feromoatwhether in resist
ing the aggressions of foreign foes, or in promot
ing at home a loyal obedience to the constitution
and to all its provisions and requirements. It
could hardly have been otherwise. Here was
adopted first tho charter of oor rights, next (he ar
ticles of the confederation, and finally the Consti
tution of the United States; You have not been
merely triply armed, you have been triply bound.
And nobly, my fellow countrymen, ofPcnnsylva'
nia have you fulfilled the high duties imposed
you and sacredly have you obeyed the in
junctions of Hie grekt chief who presided over the
convention which gave us the constitution «nnder
which we live.
• In the language of. Washington “you have for
thdunion-of these States a cordial, habitual, im
movable attachment; accustoming yourselves to
think and to speak of it as a palladium of political
safely and prosperity, watchmg for its safety with
Jealous anxiety, discountenancing whatever may
suggest a suspicion that it can ever in any event
bo abandoned, and indighantiy frowning upon tbo
first dawning of every attempt to alienate any por
tion of our country from tho rest, or to enfeeble
the sacred ties which nowknit together its various
parts.”
It is not entirely, perhaps - not so moch on ac
count of your acknowledged resources, and your
number of votes, as on account of your geographi
cal position, that you are called the “Keystone of
the Arch.” You are neither an Eastern, Western,
Northern or Southern State; but I should hardly
exaggerate if 1 wore to say, that you ore all com
bined. Your rivers on this side the Blue Ridge
pour into tho beautiful bay below you. On the
West they swell tho flood of tho Ohio, and final
ly wash the shores of the Mississippi and Louis
iana.
The Sooth and the North look to you, and they
will over do so, not merely as the “ Keystone of
tho Arch,” but as the great central, self-sustaining
link in the chain which binds the Stales into one
harmonious whole, and which steadily holding
(his glorious Union to her moorings, will enable
her triumphantly to ride out every storm.
NEWVILLE AWAKE!
In answer to a call for Iho purpose, a number of
tho independent voters of Nowvillo and vicinity met
in the Lower School (louse to organize and unite for
the purpose of doing away with tho present License
system, by a prohibitory law. And after an eloquent
aud spirit alining address by Rov. J. Evans, the fol
lowing proceedings wore had. Tho following officers
wore elected: JOHN WAGGONER, President, D.
Stinkß and L. H. Williams. Vico Presidents, J. It.
Irvine, Corresponding, ned W. R. Linn, Recording
Secretary, and Joseph Laughlin , Treasurer. Messrs.
John Moore, A. Richards, and T. Slough were ap
pointed a committee to prepare ond report resolutions
expressive of (ho views and future course of tho as
sociation. After duo consideration the committee
presented tho following preamble and resolutions
which were unanimously adopted :
Whereat. Tho practice of drinking liquors as a
beverage has long been admitted tho occasion of
drunkenness, and drunkenness the prolific cause of
crime, pauperism,and mental aud bodily suffering;
and
•Wfrereaa, All tho cfib(ts strenuously and persever-
Ingly made for the last twenty four .years, have faU*
od to accomplish liter irembval of and Ibc
discontinuance of a practice ao fraught with oail
- consequences; and,
Whereat, The total prohibition by low of tho sale
ofardent spirits as a boverago is believed to bo in
disponspblo to tho success of temperance: and,
W/iereas, It Id an admitted principle in all free
governments that the law-making power emanates
directly from (ha people and is to be exercised for
their benefit, It fojiows nocccseanly, that It is both
(heir right and ttiolr duty to demand the repeal of
any existing law, which in its operation, conflicts
willi this design, and to demand tho enactment of
such laws, as will, in their judgment, promote the
Weil being of the community: therefore,
Resoloed, That wo owe no apology to any political
party, when wo declare our fixed determination to
vole for no man for tho Legislature, who does not
unhesitatingly identify himself with tho success of
our cause, and pledge hid best efforts to promote it.
Resolved, That from all (ho indications, of Provi
dence,and the general movings oflho people through
out tho length and breadth of tho land, we foil bound
by ovary motive of patriotism and moral obligation,
to sofler no parly lies or parly proscriptions to in
timidate or dissuade us, Tor a moment, in our efforts
Tor the suppression or Ihe liquor traffic.
Resolved, Thai wo highly approve Ihe noble stand,
heretofore taken by our good old Commomweallh, in
the suppression of Lotteries, Billiard Rooms, and
oilier pernicious vices, and feel thereby greatly en
couraged in our efforts for tho suppression of in
temperance, which indicts upon the community more
evils han all the others combined.
Resolved, That wo cannot admit tho relevancy of
(ho objection urged by some of (ho pretended friends
of Temperance,- to oar course, that " Temperance is
too pure and holy a cause to be mingled with poli
tics." According to Webster, * politics !s that part
of Ethics which consists in (ho regulation and gov*
ernmont of a nation or State, for the preservation of
its safely, peace, ami prosperity." If intemperance
Is Inimical to the softly, poocc, and prosperity of a
State—which Is admitted by all—(hen it is rf part of
politics to romovu it, and is a legitimate subject oi
Legislation.
ileioloeci, Thai In view of the success that has
attended tho prohibitory law in other Slates, wo are
encouraged to buckle on tho armor of truth and
philanthropy, ond, by the blessing of God upon our
efforts, not pul it off until our beloved Commonwealth
is redeemed from the degrading vice of intemper
ance.
Resolved, That as all party Issues, which have
heretofore produced and kept up political antagonism,
seem si least for the lime being, gone to rest, wo floe
no reason why tho honest friends of good morals,
should not for a limo at least,relax their political
party rigor, if by so doing (hey onn effect so'groat a
deliverance from tho bondage of tho bottle and the
baf-room.
itesoJued, That while our political sympathies
shall in nil other matters, continue with our respec
tive parlies, yet on this one, and at present, all ob-
Aorblion question, wo shall fool bound to sustain the
man, who wo have reason to beliovo will most zeal
ously promote it.
Resolved , That wo solicit the co-opcralion and
donfidoolly oxncol tho aid of all lovers of Sobriety
and goad morals, in our county, and throughout our
Stale, to enlist in this work of reform, and bo no long,
er lulled to sleep by the coni that Pennsylvania is
not ready for so high a standard of morals as on ox
amption from tho drunkard-making license law.
Resolved, That wo hall with pride and pleasure
(ho 00-operstlon of tho Female Association of this
place In this effort to expel from our community this
bnno of domestic happiness, and earnestly call upon
all the females of our Stale to form similar associa
tions, and by ono united effort, to drive (ho rum d -
mon from our borders.
Resolied, That those proceedings shall bo signed
by (ho officers, and published In all the county papers
and In the Crystal Fountain at Harrisburg.
