TO ~ . A LITTLE CHILD.
•BV. F. T. PALGRA
•
Golden head that bears the sun
heresoe'er• the feet may run :
Little feet, that know not yet
Where the next step will be set:
Sapphire gleam of eyes, that go
Straight to the pure soul below,
Fix'd in their ingenuous pitt,ass •
Of confiding helplessness :
Ah I what wild rose sweet as this is,
Flower of love and many kisses?
Vet if thii.were nll in all,—
Warm soft limbS and features small
Dimpled darling of the knee,
Song would scarce be due to thee!
Did already in the eye
Glances offthe soul we spy;
Mille broken language hear
Notes clearly remon clear;
On thy stainless forehead trace
Lines of the immortal race.
True, too true! these flower-like oharms
'All must vanish from our ants ;
True, too true !—and thou must share
Buffets of life's ruder air :
But the eternal child within,
As this fair veil_waxes thin,
As the faint feet downward go,
Brighter lineaments will show,—
Crystal dear at last to shine,
'ritting home f%r the Divine.

•
iMENSON AND EX-PIIESIDENT JOHN ADAMS.
• I•have lately found in an old note-book a
record of a visit to ex-President John Adams,
in 1825, soon after the election of his son to
•
the Presidency. It is but a sketch, and notii-
bug important passed in the conversation ; but
it• reiiorts a moment in' the life of a heroic per
son, who, in extreme old age, appeared still'
erect and worthy of his fame.
Feb., 18.25.. 2 -To-day, at Quincy, with
my brother, by _invitation of Mr. Adams's
family. . The old President sat in a large
stuffed arm-chair, dressed in a blue. coat, black
small clothes, white stockings; a cotton cap
covered his bald head. We made our compli
ment, told him be must let us join our con
gratulations to those of the nation on the hap
piness of his house. • He thanked us, and said:
"I am rejoiced, because the nation is happy.
The time of gratulation and congratulations is
nearly over with me : I am astonished that
I. have lived to see and know of this event...
I have ' lived now nearly a century
[he was ninety hi the following
October :]=a long, a harassed, and distracted
life."—l said, " The world thinks a'good deal
of joy has been mixed with it."—" The world
does not know," he replied, "how much toil,
anxiety and sorrow I have 'suffered." I asked
if 'Mr: Adams's letter of acceptance had been
read to him.—" Yes," be said, and 'added, " My
son has more political prudence than any man
that I know who has existed in my time; he
never was put off his guard,: and I hope he
will 'continue such ; but what effect age may
work in. diminishing the poWer of his mind,
I do not, know ; it has been very much
on the stretch ever since he 'was
. born., He has always been laborious,
child and man, from infancy.".—When -
Mr. J. Q. Adams's age was mentioned, 'he
said, " Ile is now fifty-eight,or will be in July" ;
and remarked that " all the Presidents were of
the sanantre ; General Washington was about
fifty-eight, and I was about. fifty-eight, and Mr.
- Jefferson, and Mr. Madison, and Mr. Monroe."
—We inquired when he expected to see Mr.
Adains.'—He said : " Never ; Mr. Adams will
not come to Quincy but to my funeral. It
would be a great satisfaction to me to see Win,
but I don't wish him to come on my account."
—He spoke of Mr. Lechniere, whom he " well
remembered to have seen come down daily, at
a great age,. to, walk in the old town-house,"—
adding, "And I wish I could walk as well as
he did. "He was Collector of the Customs
for many years under the Royal Govern
ment."—E. said : "I suppose, sir, you would
not haVe taken his place, even to walk as well
as he."—" No," he repljed, " that was not
what I wanted."—He talked of Whitefield,
and
." remembered,',when he was a Freshman
in College, to have come into town to the Old
South church [I think], to hear him, but could
not get into the house ;—I, however, saw him,"
he said, "through a window, and distinctly
• heard all. He had a voice such as I never
heard before or since. He cast it oat so
that you might hear him at the meeting-house
(pointing towards the Quincy meeting-house],
.And •he had the grace of a dancing
: master, of an actor of plays. His voice and
manner helped him more than his sermons. I
- Went With jonathan Sewall."---" And you were
pleased with him, slr ( . 1 "---"1"=

:.! A was de
lighted beyond measure."L-We asked. it' at
Whitefield's return the same popularity con
tinued.—" Not the same fury," he said, " not
-• •- • the - same -wild- - enthusiasm as before, but- a •
greateresteem, as be became more khown.
He did not terrify, but was admired."
We spent about an hour in his room. He
speaks_very distinctly for so old a man, enters
, bravely:into:long sentences, which are inter
rupted by want of breath, but carries them
invariably to a conclusion, without correcting
a word.
EMEIZSON AND 301 IN BROWN
Captain John Brown, the hero of Kansas,
said to me in conversation, that " for a settler
in a new country, one good, believing, strong
minded man is worth a hundred, nay, a thou
sand men without character; and that • the
right men will give a permanent direction to
the fortunes of a State. As for the bullyinr ,
drunkards, of which armies are usually made
up, he thought cholera, small-pox, and con
sumption as valuable recruits." Ile held the
belief that courage and chastity are silent con
cerning themsflves. He said, "As soon as I
bear one of my men say, Alm, only let me get
my eye on such a man, I'll bring him down,'l
don't expect much aid in the tight from iat
talker. 'Tis the gaiet, peaceable men, the
men of principle, that make the best soldiers."
" 'Tia still observed those men most valiant are
Who are most modest ere, they came to war."
True courage is not ostentatious; men who
wish to inspire terror seem - thereby to confess
themselves cowards. Why do they rely on it,
but because they know how potent it iS with
themselves? • '
The true temper has genial influences. It
makes a bond of union between enemies.
Governor Wise,of Virginia, in the record of his
first interviews with his prisoner, appeared to
great advantage. If Governor Wise is a su
perior Mau, or inasmuch as he is a superior
man, he distinguishes John „Brown. As they
confer, they understand each other swiftly;
each respects the other. if opportunity al
lowed, they would prefer each other's society
and desert their former companions. Enemies
would become affectionate. Hector and
Achilles. Richard and Saladin, Wellington and
:Souk, General Dumas and Abdel Bader, be
.come aware that they are nearer and more
:dike than any other two, and, if their nation
and circumstances did not keep them apart,
mould run into each other's arms.
MALTIWSIAN FALLACY.
There , h t is been a nightmare Med in England
.of indigestion and spleen among landlords and
icioMlords, namely, the dogma that men breed
too falt for the powers of the soil ; that men
Multiply in a geometrical ratio, whilst Corn
<ally in an arithmetical ; and hence that, the
more prosperous we aye s the fajter we ay.

pima these frightful limits; nay, the - plht.of I
every neW generation is worse than 4f the
foreeeing, because the first comers take up the
bestlancis ;' the next, the second best; and each
succeeding wave of population is driven to
poorer, so that the land is ever yielding less re, ,
turns to enlarging hosts of eaters. Henry
Carey, of Philadelphia, replied : Not so, Mr.
Malthus, , • but just , the opposite of so is the
fact.' ,
The first Planter, the savage, without help
ers, without tools, looking chiefly to safety
from his enemy,—man or beast—takes poor
land. The better lands are loaded with timber,
which he cannot clear; they need drainage,
which he cannot attempt. lie cannot plough;
or fell trees, or draih the rich swamp. He is a
poor creature ; he scratches with a sharp
stick, lives in a cave or a hutch, has no road
but the trail of the moose or bear; he lives on
their flesh when he can kill one, on roots and
fruits when he cannot. He falls, and is lame ;
he coughs, he has a stitch in his side, he has a
fever and chills; when he is hungry, he cannot
always kill and eat a bear;—chances of war, 7 -.
sometimes the bear eats hint. 'Tis long before
he digs or plants at all, and then only a patch.
Later be learns that his planting is better than
hunting; that the earth works faster for him
than he can work for himself,—works for
him when he is, asleep, when it rains,
when heat overcomes hum.,The sunstroke
which knocks him down rings his corn
up. As his family thrive, and other planters
come up around him, he begins to fell trees,
and clear good laud; and when, by and by,
there is more skill, and tools and roads; the
new generations are strong euargh to open the
lowlands, where the wash of mountain 3 has
accumulated the best soil, which yield a hut - 14
dred-fold the former crops. The last lands are
the best lands. It needs science and great
numbers no cultivate the best lands, and in the
best manner. Thus trite economy is
not mean, but liberal, and-on the 'fatten; of
the sun and sky. Population increases in the
ratio of morality; credit exists in the ratio of
morality. ,
FACULTY
Giotto could draw a perfect. circle ;' Erwin of
Steinbach could build a minster ; Olaf, King of
Norway, could run round his galley on the
blades of the oars of the rowers, when the ship
was in motion ; Ojeda could run out swiftly on
a plank projected from the top of a tower, turn
round swiftly, and come back; Evelyn writes
from Rome : " Bernini, the Florentine sculp
tor, architect, painter, and poet, a little before
my coming to Rome, gave a public opera,
wherein he painted the scenes, cut the statues,
invented the engines, composed the music,
writ the comedy, and built the theatre."
" There is nothing in war," said Napoleon,
" which 1 cannot do with my own hands. ltl
there is nobody to make gunpowder, 1 can
manufacture it. The gun-carriages I know
how' to construct. If it is necessary to make
cannons at the forge. I can make them. The
details of working them in battle, if it is neces
sary to teach, 1 shall teach them. In adminis
tiation, it is I alone who have arranged the
finances, as you know." •
It is recorded of Linnaeus, among many
prOofs of his beneficent skill, that when the
timber in the shipyards of Sweden was ruined
by rot, Linnaeus was .desired by the govern
ment to find a remedy. He studied the in
sects that infested the timber, and found that
they laid their eggs in the logs within certain
days in April, and he directed that during ten
days at that season the logs should beimmersed
under water in the docks;_ which being done
the timber was found to be uninjured.
Columbus at Veragua found' plenty of gold';.
but leaving the coast, the ship full of one hum;
dred and Efly skilful seamensome of them
old pilots,and with too much experience of their
craft and treachery to him—the wise admiral
kept his private record of his homeward
path. And when he reached Spain,. he
told the Ring and Queen, "that they
may ask all the pilots who came with hith,
where is VeraguaP Let them answer and say,
if they know where Veragua lies. I assert
that they can give no other account than that
they went to lands where there was abundance
of gold, but they do not know the way to re=
turn thither; but would be obliged to go on a
voyage of discovery as much as if they had
never been there before. There is a mode of
reckoning," he proudly, adds, "derived from
astronomy, which is sure and safe to any who
understands it."
Hippocrates in Greece knew how to stay the
devouring plague which ravaged Athens in his
time, and his skill died with him. Dr. Benj.
Rush, in Philadelphia, carried that city heroi
cally through the yellow fever of the year 1103.
Leverrier carries the Copernican system in his
head, and knew where to look for the new.
planet.
MOLEST NOT THE SCHOLAIi.
Let a man never buy anything else than
what,be wants, never subscribe at others' in
stanceofever give unwillingly. Thus, a scholar
is a literary foundation. All his expense is for
Aristotle, • Fabricius, Erasmus and •Petrarch.
Do not ask him to help with his savings young
drapers or grocers to stock their shops, or eager
agents to lobby in legislatures,, or join a com
pany to build a factory or alishing-craft; - These
things are also to be done, but not by such as
he. How could such a book as Plato's Dia
logues have come down, but for the sacred
savings of scholars and their fantastic appro
illation of them ?
TILE ART MUSEUM
I do not undervalue the tine instruction
which statues and pictures giVe. But I think
the public museum in, each town will one day.
rtlieve the private house of . this charge of
owning and exhibiting them. I go to Borne
and see on the walls of the Vatican the Trans
figuration, painted by Raphael, reckoned the
first picture in the world ; or in the Sistine.
Chapel I see the grand sibyls and prophets,
painted in fresco by Michael Angelo,—which
have every day noiv for three hunched years
inflamed the imagination anu exalted the piety
of what vast multitudes of men of all nations!
I wish to bring home to my children and my
friends copies of these admirable forms, which
I can find in the shops of the engravers ; but I
do not wish the vexation of owning them. .1
wish to find in my own town a library and
museum which is the property of the town,
where 1 can deposit this precious treasure,
where 1 andiny children can see it from time
to time,
and where it has its prOper place'
among hundreds of such donatiolis from other
citizens who have brought thither whatever
al tides they haVe judged to be in their nature
rather a public than a private property. •
Age sets its house in order, and finishes its
works; which to every artist is a supreme
pleasure. 'Youth has an excess of sensibility,
before which every object glitters and attracts.
We leave one pursuit for ',another, and the
young 1111111'S year is'a heap of beginnings. At
the end of a twelvemonths he has nothing to
show for it,—not one completed work. But
the time is not lost. Our instincts
drove us to hive innumerable experi
ences, that are yet of no visible value, and
which may keep for twice seven years before
they shall be wanted. The best things are of
secular growth. The instinct of classifying
marks the wise and healthy mind. Linmeus
projects his system, and lays out his twenty
four classes of plants,, before yet he has found
in Nature a single plant to justify eertain of
hiS classes. His seventh class has not one. In
process of Lime, he finds with delight the little
white Trientalis, the only plant with seven
petals and sometimes seven stamens, which
constitutes a seventh class hi con
formity' with his system. The

citations be has met with in miscellaneous
reading and bearing, in all the ye* 0f..- - youth.
We carry in memory important anecdOtes, and
have lost all clew to the author from whom .
we bad them. We have a lientiie speech from:
Rome or Greece, but cannot fix it on the man .
who said it. We have.an admirable dine wort
thy of Horace, ever and anon resounding in
our mind's ear, but have searched' all probable
arid improbable books for it In" vain. We
consult the" reading men but strangely :
enough,.. they who know everything
know not this. But especially we have a cer
tain insulated thought, which haunta us, but
remains insulated and barren. Well, there is
nothing for all. this but patience and time.
Time, yes, that is the finder, the unweariable
explorer, not subject to casualties, omniscient
at last. The day comes When the hidden au .
thor or our story is found; when the brave
speech returns straight. tolhe hero who said it;
when the admirable verse finds the poetrto
whom it belongs; and best of
.all, when the
lonely thought,which seemed so wise, yet half
wise, half-thought, because it • cast no light
abroad, is suddenly matched in our mind by
its twin, by its sequence, or next related an
alogy, which gives it,instantly radiating power,
and justifies the superstitious instinct with
which we have hoarded it.
THE PERM/A.IMB
Homer specially delighted in drawing the
same figure. For what is the "Odyssey" but
a history of the orator, in the largest style, car
ried through a series of adventures furnishing
brilliant opportunities tolls talent? . See with
what care and pleasure theopoet brings him on
to the stage. Helen is pointing out to Priam,
from a tower, the different l-recian chiefs.
The old man asked Tell me, dear child;
who is that man, shutter by a head than' Aga
memnon, yet he looks broader. in his shoul
ders and breast. • His arms neon the ground,
but he, like a leader; wallo about the bands of
the men.' He seems to me like a stately' ram,
who ' goes as a' master Of the flock.'
Him answered ' Helen; • daughter of
Jove : ' This is the wise Ulysses, son
of Laertes, who was reared in the
state of craggy Ithaca knowing all
wiles and wise counsels.' To her
the 'prudent Antenor replied again: 0
woman, you have spoken truly. For once
the wise Ulysses came hither on an
'embassy, with Menelaus,beloved by Mars. I
received them and entertained them at my
house. I became acquainted' with the genius
and the prudent judgments of both.. When
they mixed with the assembled Trojans, . and
storm, tee !woad snoutaers - 01 ruenetaus rose
above the other; but, both sltting,Ulysses was
more majestic. When they conversed, and in
terweaved stories and opinions with all, Men
elaus spoke. Succenctly,—few but.very Awed
wordS, since he was not talkative, nor super
fluous in speech, and was the yeunger. But
when the -wise Ulysses arose, and stood,„
and looked down, fixing his 'eyes on
the ground, and neither moved
his sceptre backward nor forward,
but held it still, like an awkward person, you
would say it was some angry or foolish man
but when he sent his great voice forth out of
his breast, and his words fell like the . winter
snows, not then would any mortal' contend
with. Ulysses ; and we, beholding, wondered
not afterwards so much at his aspect.'" (Iliad,
111. 191.) Thus be does not fail to arm
Ulysses at first with this power of overcoming
all opposition by the blandishments of speech.
Plutarch tells n's that Thucydides, when Archi
damns, King of Sparta, asked him which was
the best wrestler,—Pericles or he,-replied,.
" When I throw him, be says he was never
'down, and he persuades the very spectators to
believe him." Philip of Macedon said of
Demosthenes, on hearing the report of one of
his orations, " Had I been there, he would,
have persuaded me to take up arms against .
myself."
Western Peculiarities.
A paper published in Portage, Wisconsin,.
tells this story:
"The people of Wood county regard George_
Hiles as something of a nuisance in their
county, and as he would not move out of his
own accord, they hit upon a novel expedient
to get rid of him. The county was not large
enough to divide, so Senator Webb procured
the passage of a bill attaching several towns in
Jackson county on to Wood—Jackson county
being large enough to divide without a vote of
the people; With the new towns thus an
nexed to Wood, the latter county contained
sufficient territory to divide without a vote of.
the people. Thereupon, a second bill ,was
passed, dividing Wood, setting back on to Jack
son the towns whiclf had been detached,
together with the town in which Hills resided;
so he has moved . out of Wood county with
out knowing when he' did it. - Strategy, my
boy !"
One style of Illinois journalism is illuStrated
in the following paragraph, which appears in
the Keithsburg Obserro., under the heading of

"About two and a half years ago we took,

Queer Justice
A writer in the People Francais tells a
rather hard story of Mehemet Ali, in illustra
tion of his nice sense of justice. Making a
tour of his provinces, iii great state, and with
a cavalry guard, he was stopped by an old
woman, who threw herself at his feet. " Your
Highness," said she, "one of your soldiers has
bought some milk of me for six paras, and
won't pay me." ,
" Why won't you pay here demanded Me
hemet Ali of the soldier.
"Master," said he, "this woman lies, she
has sold me no milk, and I owe her nothing."
" You swear by Allah 'that you speak the
truth ?" said the Pasha then to the woman.
"Yes, I sweai . ft."
" And you as well ?" said he to the soldier
" Yes, I swear it."
" Very well!" said the Paella. Then turn
ing to his guard, be added, with perfect com
posure, "Take this man and open 11 1 / 3
stomach."
The. Vacha's order was.obeyed, and the
milk was found. The soldier had just drank It.
" The woman is right,"' said 'Melien►et Ali,
remounting his horse ; "let her have the six
'para.§ that are due her,"
And he continues his•journey.

For Diseases of ,the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronohitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in tho whole history of
medicine, has myth ing.won so widely and no deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this exCellent
remedy, for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series of years, and among most of the races or
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima
tion, as it has become better . known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made It knoWn as a re
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time' the most effectual reale/1y that can
be given for incipient consumption, and, the dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a pro
vision against sudden attacks of Croup, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption' is thought in
curable, still great numbers or cases where the dig
ease seemed settled r havo been , 'CompLetely cured,

Aathma is always. relieved . and , often ..whol/y
cured by it.
Bronchitis. Is generally cured' by taking the
Cherry _Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them hero, or do mom
than assure the. public that its qualities are tally

Odd Passages from Mellor." of dileginusisy
FRATIKFORT-ON-TICE-111A/N, February, 1870.
—Smile very amusing Speeitnens of, literature
are met with in the,tierrnigi press. b "The` fal
lowing epitaph is found not far from the cele
brated waterinOlace Meran,' in the. Tyrol,
inscribed on a 'tablet, "cV,lth the ' picture of a_
man's bead looking atthe pamer-hy fronfituder'
an avalanche which has , frallen Upon'lllin. To
the left a little Tyrolese iS•ruoding away from
the danger:
" Here died Martin Hausch
The avalanche came and rolled
Upon hii body, and made him cold.
Akio, erg cutler it was bound,
But to-day islvely and sound!"
Not far from this, to the left, is a tablet
_rep
resenting the death of a woman who has been
run over by a heaVily-laden wagon. Although
the manner of her death 'is not. recorded,lier
name and occupation are given for the, benefit.
of posterity, as followS,:, ; - •• •
Here died Marie Wiegl, 'Who
Was mother and seamstress of children two.
Somewhat further on 'in the mountains a
picture, glaring ,in color, is found painted on
the smooth face of a rock.. So far as imagina
tion and truth to nature go, this piece may be
taken as a masterpiece. A red ox, with tail
elevated and head sunk, is about to run his
horns into a chalk-white individual, whd' is
pressed up against a rock—probably the Wen,
tical one on which the picture is represented.
Death must have resulted, sincennder the-pic
ture is, the following Inscription :
By thellirrist of ox's horn
Came I into heaven's bourne;
All so quickly did I:-die, r
W If° and children leave must.l;
But in eternity rest I how,
AU through thee, thou wild,beast, thou!
The folloVvingiciarlotui inscriptien: is to be
found on the grave of the common goods
carrier between St. Gilgen and Salzburg, in
Austria. Ile usually went by the name of the
"St. Uilgen Bote," and died only a few weeks
ago. Ills friends composed the following
lines :
Here rests in God,
The:dead 14.,Gilgen Rote;
" To him be gracious, Lord,
As he would be,
If he were Thee.
And ThotESt. Gilgen's Rote!
ANNOUNCEMENTS ON DEATH, &e.
The announcements of death, though com
posed probably in all simplicity, ; very often
;present a very ridiculous appeara.nce in print.
A Leipsic paperrecently had the following in
its death columns :
4 ‘ To-day death tore away from us for, the ,
third time our only child, . L. A. V. and
Frau." .
.
'1 he L'hemnitz Anzelger bad the folloWing:
' , Last night. at-half-past three,. God took to
'only little daughter Antoine, of teething.
School-teacher S. and Frau." • ‘.
The Dote of theltiesangebirge not long' ago
contained the following curious anuotincement
of death :
"After an illness extending over many yew*
it has pleased 'God to take ftp my dearly be
loved youngest daughter, Anna,, into his
heavenly kingdom, where we shall inter her
soulless corpseemi Thursday next, at 9 o'clock.
—Master carpenter J. Sch--." •
Some interesting notices were recently pub
lishedabont the festivities or ',wakes - usually
celebrated when a death occurs among the in
habitants of thelOwer' parts of the valley of
the Inn:
" A peasant left a clear fortune: of three
thousand four hundred florins, and the funeral
and the death-feast cost four hundred and
thirty.: lorins; another left three thousand
florins, and the costs before and for interment
amounted to three hundred and four florins;
another left.four thousand one hundred florins,
the funeral-andleast cost four hundred and
twenty-four florins: a fourt.h.left one thousand
and thirty-six florins, and the costs amounted
to four hundred and twenty-five florins. it is
even worse hi comparison among those who
have to earn their daily bread. For instance,
a servant inherited a fortune of some one
hundred and twenty-five florins, and the cost
of the funeral feast amountedto one hundred
and eleven florins, leaving hut fourteen florins
for himself."
TheEiciniaclec Zeilung, a few weeks ago,
had the following te.stiniony as to., the 4/itali6-
cations of a German executioner in the begin
ning of the eighteenth century. It is worded
thus:
"I hereby certify that the executioner of
Tecklenburg, Joist Heinrich Stoldeinst; brother
of the executioner Jiigerrnann, sortie time ago
beheaded with skill andto my especial pleasure
Heinrich Schtierkamp,'who was Imprisoned in
the. liellenhorg, and immediately after, during
the time'my brother was syndicus r skillfully
haugea a , person named Hotter, above the
masses; also, that in similar duties people will
be well served by him. Signed the ninth day
of June, 170 . 9."

[Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.]
.1. - AJUS, Feb. 1508 - Al.—You' will no doubt
ere this haveleard reports that it is the inten
tion of the Imperial government to change its
representative, at . Washington; and that M.
Prevest-raradol, of the Debuts and .the Insti
tute, is to be appointed to the vacant diplo- .
matic post.' The latter appointment has, in
fact, been for some time on the tapir, but it is
only a ithin the last few days that it has (I
think I may now Venture to say) been finally,
deeided upon and received the signature of the
Emperor. It is another of those acts, Which,
how peat has been the change lately effected,
and how ettmpletely• the new Ministers are
• masters of the situation, and insist upon being
so. Not that the Emperor haa any personal
objection to M. Frevost-Paradol, whose Jan
go-age' whether spoken or written, has al
ways been such as strictly became a man
of his high culture and good taste. But still,
it is quite apparent that but for the radical
change of principles which has been introduced
into the Imperial Government, the selection
of such a representative as 31. Prevost-Paradol
would never have been made, nor,' even if
made, would it have been accepted. Even as,
it is, I believe there is good ground for saying
that the choice has. been altiiost as much Ame
rican Freud), and that the preference shown
in the :United States flu Yrevost-Paradol,
and a knowledge of the satisfaction which his
presence at Washington would create, have
been largely influential in determining the Gov
ernment here to send him among you. His
immediate friend and patron in the Ministry is
31. 011ivier himself, with whom he has been
long allied, both as a koninie de lettres, and
also &cm similarity of views and prineiples.•
:There is, indeed,a strong affinity between the
m
two men in - any nspeets, although 31. • 01-
livier is far , superior • as an orator, and
31. Prevost-Pamdol as a writer. They, differ
as to the means and instruments by which
they severally sustain and propagate their
Opinions, but their - opinions are in the main
identical, as both M. Prevost-Paradol in his in
dividual, and the Journal des _Mats in its
.corporate capacity, have long ago declared to
be the case. It was, therefore; perfectly natu
ral-and scion lee conrenanceson both sides that
31. 011ivier should desire to bring forward such
a man as M. Prevost-ParadOl into political and
diplomatic life, and that the latter should will
ingly accept the overtures made to him in that
behalf. M. Prevost-Paradol, moreover, had
other friends and well-wishers in the . Cabinet
besides M. 011ivier, and the Emperor himself,
as I have said, was altogether predisposed In
his favor. And yet still, with all these advan
tages on its side, the appointment bas not been
carried through without considerable difli
ditties ; art d -these dificulties have only just
been effectually and finally overcome. In the
first place it was necessary to provide for the
present French representative at Wash
ington. It was known that he was
willing and desirous to removed to
_ .
the Mague; and that the Minister residing at
the fatter place was also equally willing and
desirous to rettuu..home.::- But it— was -more
difficult to know what to do with him when he
came Lome; and this occasioned some further
hesitation and de.lay,.
Wait some vacancies in
the Senate have given the government the
upport unity Pf eithet rewarding its representa
tive at the Dutch court with the btiumr cum
dibnitate of the Senatorial benches,, or making
ream for him elsewhere by the promotion of
another to the same honors. Yet another
hitch arose just as the matter seemed to be
::atisfactorily , arranged. By a .singular inad
vertency the new Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Count Darn, had been left in ignorance of what
v‘ as proposed to be done - at Washington much
longer than was consistent with official eti
quette ; and immediately French official sus
ceptibility, which is one of the most delicate
and- touching character, was aroused. I tinder-
stand that the whole affair nearly broke down
tinder the opposition offered to its aceomplish
ment by Count Danes offended dlgnify How
ever, at last all impediments have been over
come,:and I think I may venture to say that
you will shortly receive the visit of M. Prevost
]. era dol In the character of French _Minister to
the United States Government.
Under these circumstances you may perhaps'
not be displeased to know something more
about his past career, and the path which bas
conducted him to this present eminence 'as a
writer-and politician-, M. Preyost-Paradol is

the consciousness of its ow wimpotency, to deal
with such an assailant. At last, I believe,' it was
I seriously determined to suppress the ,Debate,
' simply on the ground of reasons' of istate,"
without venturing to lating auy precise charge
against it, which; indeed, it "would have been..
difficult if not' . impossible to establish., Only
an act of downright tyranny could rid the.
Government of its subtle tormentor. But ex
istence is the first law of nature, and the
Journal des Debals was compelled to yield to'
thatlaw and the force Of :cirentnstances. It
had to choose, I believe, between „expiring
under an act Of vandalism, or .. resigning the
services of N. Prevost-Paradol as a political
writer in its pages, until the advent of happier
times. For along space of time we were de
prived of his too pungent remarks upon impe
rialiim and its profligate associates. lie con
tributed only literary articles for the Dads,
but these were of the highest merit; have, for
the most part, been republished, in a more per
manent form, and, in conjunction with other
works, opened to him the doors of the French'
Academy, the highest object of ambition, per
Nape, to "a literary Frenchman. During the
interval, however, in'lB6o, he- published a
litical pamphlet called "Los"Anciens Partis,"
which laid him open;te a government .prosecn 7
tion, and, as a' matter of course before siteira
court as then tried him, to a month's imprison
ment and a thousand francs-fine.
But his reputation and fortune as a writer
and ,political man were now , secure. Soon
better times were in prospect. , The wretched
system which was crushing all vitality out of a
noble nation began to give way. The greatly
exaggerated ability of. its chief leader broke
down under one miserable failure and mistake
after another, while the bad reputation,
im
moral characters and outrageous greediness of
the instruments and sycophants who sur
rounded him, wearied and disgusted the entire
nation.. N. Prevost-Paradol could soon - resume
his political pen with impunity under the agis
of public opinion. Few men have contributed
more than himself to " write down" those
stupid and debasing idees .Napoleentennes
which, in order to keep men in a state of
tutelage, would persuade them that they were
never safe without a "strong
_overnment"
e ~ ~ ~1•
and a sort - of terrestrial providence
watching over them in ' the shape of a
despotic ruler. The latest work of im
portance publitibed: by 'M. Prevost-Paradol is
his "France Nouvelle," itl which he sketches
forth with his brilliant and philosophical .pen
the prospects of the new destinies which he
now fondly hopes are opening before his coun
try. Hit own fougttun ! He has Ifved to see
his own opinions once more predominant. He
has lived to see the brave old journal to which
he is so largely indebted for his own reputation
once more at the head of the highest and most
intelligent portion of public opinion in France.
He has lived, too, to meet with his own reward
—probably - that which he would have chosen
in preference to all others—to represent his
own free country (a freedom to which he has
so largely contributed) in that country, whose
freedom and whose institutions have been in a
great degree the model of his own principles
and the encouragement to his own exertions.
MADAME PADEPA-BONA.
The Career of a Prima Donna.
-Parepa-Rosa was born in Edinburgh in 1830.
Tier mother was aptima donna of considera
ble repute, a sister of Edward Seguin, the re
nowned basto,'and• her father wits 'a Walla
cbian baron. Georgiardes de Boyesku. Parepa
showed musical genius almost from the cradle,
and when two years and a half old was able to
sing such airs as the rondo of .‘Arnina" in Son
nowfrola, and showed a wondelful faculty for
retaining in the memory every melody and
theme which fell upon her ears. Although her
mother resisted for some years the temptation
to fit her promising daughter for the stage, she
did not neglect her musical education, and
when at the, age of fifteen it was decided to
bring her out as an operatic soprano, she • was'
made to undergo a course of vocal gymnastics
before which most of our sopranos who sing
"With Verdure Clad" or the '. Uno Voce" at .
our amateur concerts,or even many who travel
about the country with their " Luce di truest,"
and their "Coming Thro' the Rye," would
quail in abject terror. For eight months pre
vious to studying her operatic repertory she
was allowed to sing no note of anything
but exercisea . — exercises exercises ; and
before she Made her debut she had acquired
(memorized) the melodies of forty operas: She
made her debut in Malta in 1865—fourteen
years ago-as "Amine," in Sonnet/tint/a, and,
,oddly enough, she is described as at that time
a lean, thin girl, embarrassed with such ex
treme bashfulness that it was-necessary to push
her upon the stage. But however deficient in
physique and.self-possession, her voice showed
it self a pure, fully-developed 'soprano, and her
debut was a great triumph. Prom that time
her success was assured. She 'sang for some
seasons in various continental cities in Italian
otera with great eclat, but in 1860 was in
.
duced to appear in English opera in London,
under:the Fyne & Harrison-administration.
lu 18i3 she married Captain Corvill, an officer
of the East India service, of considerable dis
unction, just retired. Ile lost his ownstuortey
anti his wile's to the extent of 8250,000 in some
niittino• ' speculations,"avid died-in 1865. -Aft er
ardsMr. 13aternan-seeured.her for au
Ameri
can 'concert tour, and Carl Rosa, a well-knoWn
violinist, and James Levy, the celebrated
['layer of the cornet-a-piston were engaged
tor the same tour. The tour proved im
mensely successful, and "Papa" Bateman
would willingly have continued it, but
there were European engagements to be filled.
Butriext year Bateman engaged her again, and,
L.:4 mew hat suspiciously, Carl Rosa was atom"
tou,:abil in 18,07, after the completion of the
concert season, the twain were made one flesh,
and. a very happy match it has proved. Since
then she has filled various engagements, with
constantly increasing reputation,', culminating
in Ler pet I'm mances at the Boston Peace Jubi
lee last summer, when thetgreat ,prima donna
eclilised.all her former laurels by filling with
the mighty volume of her voice the vast shell of
a Coliseum, and by rendering those grandest
airs l "Let the Bright Seraphim," "The Mar
velops Wet k,",and the " lnflammatus," from
Itos `,.liebat Mater, with, breadth of
eonteption and suchlargenesS cifst,* as befitted •
the cession, and as no other hying artist Could
have attained. ' • ,
•`- September last she organized the,.English
Opera Troupe. She organized it ion a scale of
eXltensiveness and completeness Unheard nr, in

dited for her; but thee far the vent'u're has
been deservedly successful, '(in Bostetrtheen-'
