The physical condition of Louis Napoleon is
exciting considerable alarm in Europe. The.
reports that he is continually—improving do
not seem to be credited, and:it Is thought that
ids malady'is not whatis - Stated, but
that he is afflicted, With a chronic complaint
which may cause his death at any moment. If
lie were to die now it is , not unlikely, that
there would be another struggle for the French
thsone. The state of Napoleon's health brings
to mind the following remarkable table of

' Phenomenon at Trenton. ,
IN
A paper in Trenton, N. J.; notes , a singular
occurrence: "While out on the. river, taking
a row, the other evening, about twilight, `the.
air fora few feet, above the surface Of the k
water became filled with a delicate white
winged insect. They were so thick in places
as to render objects at a few feet distant 'un
discernible, and resembled a very heavysnow
.storm. Our boat and everything in itsoon be
came so thickly covered with them, that the
point of one's Anger could not be put down
anywhere without touching them, while the
surface of the water,was filled with their (lead
bodies. The fish were seen jumping Niter
them in every direction. Before they spread
over the surface of the river they were seen
rising in clouds along the shore, which ,we at
first wok. for the rising of a dense fog."
, Napoleon and Prince Napoleon.
, Some one calls Prince. Napoleon "a fat ant
..g43' old caricature of Napoleon 1.," which is a
development of the late 3lr. A. Ward's words,
"a festive cuss." Prince Napoleon is jest
coinpleting his forty-tieventh year, as he was
born on the Uth of September ls 2 ; and at
fort,y-seven Napoleon I. was as fat as Prince
Napoleon is, though he wee anything but gay,
being then a resident of a famous watering
place called St. Helena, to which he had been
sent by certani European doctors. -Theodore
Hook, who saw him tbere, caricatured him in
a picture entitled' Fiit;typart, late Bouypart,"
or something of the kintl i —so that if Prince

31 ark Twain thus burlesques a recent yarn
.about-Commodore Vanderbilt: • • ,„;
Lie owed Mornssey forty .cents; '3forrissey
wept doyen to his °dice with is keg of powder
and a match: lie lacked the door. He swal
lowed the key. --Ile --match, Ilia brow
ilarkkied: Ike said 'both sheuld never leave
the room alive again unleas one was a corpse.
He lit another snatch. He said one or the
other mustsit on the keg= - take your choice.
Mr. Vanderbilt - is not, easily-fri ghtened, but
he saw he was in a close place. lie paid the
forty cents. Morrissey departed with his keg.
Since that time both have been better friends
to each other than both of them put together
ever were before. Such is the story. Can it
be true ? f‘flimsely.",
Narroar Vitoape of a LionAtismer.
A Paris letter:reports that Mr. Lucas, the
lion-tamer, has had a narrow escape of being'
eaten by has lions at the Hippodrome, in that
city. He went into the cage where there
were two lions and two lionesses with only a
whip in his hand, instead of the heavy cudgel
which he general y carries. A lioness, pre
surOxig upon his being unarmed ; sprang at
lain and seized him by' the nape,of the neck.
Many women fainted; and others rushed out
of the theatre. The other lions, attracted by
blood,rushed upon Lucas,and bitand scratched
him severely. .In a few moments he
would certainly have been, killed had mot
one of his assistants, who was not in the habit
of entering the cage, come forward and
knocked the lion about the head with an iron
bar. It is reported that Lucas said to him,
"Go away, leave me to die alone." However
that may be, the man dragged Lucas, away
from the lions. Ho is now lyinat his mother
in-law's Lease, N 0.31 Avenue Montague, in a
most precarious state. The doctors have dis
covered no lees than thirty-one wounds. It is
feared that even-if he should recover he will
he a cripple for life. The heroism of the man
by whom he was rescued is the theme of en
thusiastic praises. M. Arnaud, the manager
of the Hippodrome, had the presence of mind
to close the sloor of the cage when the faithful
semuit got Mr. Lucas out of it, otherwise the

The taste of Puritan fathers,a.;shown in

was as peculiar as many of their customs. In
an old graveyard in Igewlnuyport, Massa

following,by scraping The moss from a very
._ ancient stone :

Tlie same correspondent, who is a kindred
spirit with " Old - Mortality," discovered in
the same cemetery last year this epitaph,which
was , published at the time :
"The little hero that lies here
Was conquered by the diarrhoea."
Some of the savans of the .Maine Historical
Society visited, a week ago, •the old nyster
shell heaps of Damariscotta and the ruins of
Pemaquid, and there discovered a tombstone
of two hundred years ago, which deserves
.mention in the same connection. It reads
thud:
• "Now Dad is dead and wale,
Dad left me here alone ; • ,
But hope in Christ I have,
That he and I will save."
• The philologists of Bowdoin College explain
this by saying that "he and I" is a local phrase
for "him and me," still in common use among

Most of the seven Republican Senators who
voted againgt the impeachment of Andy John

Virginia, have been superseded and left out in

be superseded by .Andy Johnsonhiniself in the

CRUELTY TO CAR. lionsgs.---The recent con
viction 'of the conductor and driver of a Union
Passenger Railway car, on the; Charge of
cruelty to animals by overloading the vehicle,
does not seem to have bad any effect, either
in reducing the number of persons admitted to
a ear, or in dindulshing the outrageous
cruelty tothe horSes.• At •ilmcist any hour of
the day &vs greatly overloaded can • be foond
vin . any of the'passenger rail Ways; If . the
agents -of the Pennsylvania Society . for
the Prevention of Cruelty •to -•Anym Is
had been aloi the line of. the
Girard Avenue Railway yesterday after
noon, they could have had . a dozen cases ,for
proseeutidn. - Every efir going' west was
crowded to such an extent that the horses
were scarcely able to drag the load. Two cars
—Nos. 42 and .54—carne under our special no
tice. Each of these cars bad at least sixtyper
soils inside and out. Some individuals were
even hanging on the rear platform. At the
western, side of Girard Coll 4e there are two
'sharp . 'C ,r
urves: - Around' - neither - of these
curves were the • horses -, ~ able to pull
the cars.- The drivers • hooted and yelled to
their utmost , capaeity, and tit - ruck: :the
platforms violently with stick's, but to no pnr.
pose. ,The poor-horses .strained every nerve,
but were unable to move the car. Finaliv the
men: WhO were upon the platform got off
and ranged themselves on each side to the
number of about . fourteen, and pushed the
cars around the curves. The same scene was
doubtless enacted during the entire-afternoon,
whenever a car reached these curves. Al
though the late test case in the court decided
that packing seventy persons in and on a car
is cruelty to animals, it was not determined
bow many people can be allowed
to take lipassage• without overcrowding
the car. This matter will have to be settled
by law, and City Councils should pass an or
dinance limiting the number of passengers,
and imposing a heavy penalty upon conclue
tom who allow more than the legal minaboo.to
get upon the car. Such action is urgently de
manded, as overcrowdingthe_carsishot_ only
outrageous cruelty'to the horses, but is a seri
ous inconvenience and gross injostice to per
sons who get in the cars when they are com
paratively empty.

Mormonism and Pollygainy—Conilleting
Testimony--A Review.
• The Utah Reporter (Gentile) gives the follow
ing review of the polygamy question, sug
gested by the present agitation 'between Brig
ham Young and the younger Smiths. — ltays :
The special excitement in Salt Lake City,
consequent on the mission of the young ,
Smiths, seems to have quieted down and given
place to a more quiet. and argumentative dis
eussion on the merits of the case. This is one
of those singular controversies in which both
parties " know they are right," and can prove
it too. As far as ,hiunan testimony can prove
ai4thing, be provetTheyond - a7dOTibtilfgr -
Joseph Smith, the Prophet, practiced pol gamy,
testimony and documentary evidence,
- be - prcrvedr - that -- he -- conStintand-bitterly --
denied it; that he " silenced" all the elders who
preached it, and nearly the last day of his life
be pronounced it a false and damnable doc
trine. Sixteen women, swore most positively,
and allowed their affidavits to be published in
the Naucoo Expositor, that Joseph Smith had
made proposals to them to become his concu
bines,- - and twelve - women,' - now in Salt - Lake -
City, subscribe to affidavits that they were the
spiritual es of Joseph Smith, and lived with
him_aSBVich.: IVwere difficult to prove - a case
rnore,plainly. When the Expositor came out
Joseph Smith, Hiram Smith, John Taylor,
Dr. Bernheisel, and all the Nauvoo Council,
composed of the leading Mormons, pro
nounced it au infamous." libel and the
women perjured liars, ,/ and destroyed
the printing_ suite. In conversation with
Governor Ford shortly% after, both the
Smiths, John Taylor and Willard Rich=
Ards most solemly averred that polygamy
or spiritual wifery was no doctrine of the
Church, and by such a charge they had been
cruelly maligned by the publishers of The Ex
positor. Could that side of the case be more
plainly proved ? But there is other evidence.
The Brigliamites claim that the revelation au
thoiizing polygamy was given July 12, 1843';
on the Ist of February, 1844, the following ap
peared in The Times and Seasons, Church paper
at Nauvoo :
"NoriCE.—As we haVe lately been credibly
informed that an Elder of the Church of Jesus
Christ of. Latter-day Saints, by theniime of
Hyrum Brown, has been preaching polygainy
and other
_false and - corrupt_doctrines___m___the..
county of Lapeer -and State - of Michigan. - This
is to notify him and the Church in general that
he hasbeen cut off from the Church for his
iniquity; and he is further notified to appear at

next, to.make answer to these charges,/
" JOSEPH SMITH,

that, not a few of the recruits are mere

are every moment in danger of being arrested

accomplish the liberation of Cuba, the garrote
surely awaits them. It, is. certainly a most
hazardous business at best, to say nothing of
its hardships and privations. We might state s
in this connection. that, about two days . - ago,
Col. ( . .,' , 'anunings, our Chief of Police,received -despatch to arrest and imprison a certain young

to join the expediton. The arrest-was made

gained his liberty on the seore'diat his arrest
was ordered, by his brother instead of his

came down from Atlanta yesterday, in a few
moments after the lad was released and took
him back home hist night. We would advise
young men'of sober and industrious habits to.
think long and well upon the consequences-of
joining such expeditions before doing so.

THE BEETHOVEN SO.CIETS
Mr. can Wolfsohn presents to the public
through our columns the followint cireular, to
which we call the attention of musical artists
and amateurs and of our public-spirited citi
zens : , • ,
In presentingihe following plan fora Cho ,
ral Society, Mr. Wolfsohn acts under the 'in
fluence of a strong desire to see in this city an
'organization combining the highest form of
artistic ambition and excellence. That this is
possible, he is convinced from his personal
knowledge of the talent and culture existing
in our midst.
The name cif the organization is to be the
BEETHOVEN- SOCIETY—MS • its first particular
task is to be the study of the choruses of the
Ninth Symphony—the Master's greatest work
—for a id celebration of his Centennial Birth
clap, December 17th, 1870. •
Two concerts will be given each season, and
- the Society will make it a special object to
-bring out-choral works - as - yet - unknown-to the --
public, such as Schumann's Paradise and Peri,
Bruch's Sehon Ellen 3lenclelssohn's
pisnlyht, and many others of the same char
acter—leaving the field of the oratorial works
to the Handel and Haydn Society, which has
for many years so industriously labored in.
that cause. ln order to insure ample time for
the thorough rehearsals to bring the Society up
to a proper standard, but one public berfor
mance will be given this their first season. It
is to he also a Beethoven Concert—the selec
tions of the progratirue to be such as to pre
pare the public for the centennial festital.
The actual expenses of the Society will-con
sist of the rent'ot the room for the rehearsals
and the music; and of course of the incidental,
expenses of the concerts. These will be fully
met by a yearly subscription of five dollars
from each member. The non.active members

Mr.Wolfsohnwould also suggest the creation

le-Idevoted-to—the-musieal—eduefttion-of--sti
dents of remarkable musical ability, but of in
sellicient means ,to pursue a musical career.
Thus, also, an opportunity will be given to our
philanthropic citizens, who, by. making any
bequests to this fund, will foster an object of
the noblest kind,. and so far 'unknown in this
country, There is much being said about a
- monument-to-the -memory- of Beethoven ; but
it would seem to, Mr. Wolfsohn that such a
living one would be the most worthy of him.
The rehearsals - willbegin about the middle'
of October ; they, are to once a week, on
Wednesday evenings, froth eight to ten o'clock.
Due notice will be given to each active mem
ber before that time, when and where they
will take place.
In conclusion, Mr. Wolfshon would wish to
express his earnest desire that all who join the
society should he as faithful as possible in at
tending the rehearsals, and should by thorough
individual. 'effort and enthusiastic feeling,
place the ociety in such a position as to re,
tlect the highest credit on themselves and our
city. C.un. WOLFSHON, Conductor.
