1 1 1 .014 10 UNNATURAL MOTHER.-Wl3\ the
mail train from Pittsburg was coming
east on Monday, a young woman with a
small babe in her armes, entered the cars
at Tyrone. After the train left Hun
tingdon station, it was discovered that
the woman had left the cars, and that
the babe was safely stowed away in the
ladies' saloon, to which the attention of
the conductor was directed by its cries.
The conductor was, of course, non pluss
ed by the unexpected visitor which had
been placed in his charge. The babe, a
blooming healthy boy, about two weeks
old was an object of great curiosity
among the passengers. In all these
troubles gathering thick and fast about
the conductor, a genteel looking lady
from Pottsville, Mrs. Lee, agreed to take
charge of the little outcast. She stated,
that not being blessed with children,
after a, marriage of eight years, she would
take it home, surprise her husband, and
bring up the child as her own. The
proposition was gladly accepted by the
confused conductor, and the laly took
the little stranger under her kind care
and. protection, Before the boy • was
handed over, however, he was regularly
christened " ABRAHAU LINCOLN LEE,"
and by that name will hereafter be rec
ognised. We can, however, readily im
agine the surprise which Mr. Lee will
experience when his wife reaches home
with a little boy in her arns.
A. 11. STEPHENS ; The New York
Sun draws this unenviable picture of the
late Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of
Georgia: He is perhaps in the most
pitable position of all men on this conth
nent. Beginning as a Chivalrous
pion of the Union, in the debauch of
frenzy and terroism called an " eleation,"
lately held in Georgia, the most flatter
ing efforts were made by the conspira
tors, after their triumph, not only to se
duce him from allegiance to the Union,
but to identify him with their nefarious
cause, by the bribe of the first office in
their gift. They got him cheaper. For
the empty honor of Vice President of a
" provisional usurpation," Alexander
Stephens has set his name on the roll of
treason and infamy. For others, there
may be some mitigating considerations
of misguided earnestness, or at least
some such respect as attends upon un
disguised and audacious ambition. But
for Stephens not one poor excuse coupe
devised. He is a self-degraded and self
condemned man, judged out of his own
mouth. His brave words were swallow
ed before they were cold.
THE U. S. TREASURY : The letter
sent a few days since, by Hon. John A.
Dix,.the new and efficient Secretary of
the Treasury, says Forney's Press, to
Eton. John
. Sherman, chairman of the
Committee of NA ays and Means, affords
another striking proof of the deplorable
condition of the National Treasury and
of the terribly disordered state of the fi
nances of the Government, notwith
standing its repeated loans. Extrava
gance,mismanagement, fraud, corruption
and a failure to properly urge upon
Congress the necessity of increasing the
rate of duties, have done their legeti
mate work, and almost ruined the credit
of the great Government which,. when
the present Administration came into
power, stood higher than that of any na
tion upon the.face of the globe. What
a lesson does this afford to our states
men,and how imperatively necessary does
it render the change in our revenue laws,
which has too long been postponed !

IARIETTA, PA:, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1861.
THE THREE NAPOLEONS
Five hundred years ago the learned
city of Padua counted among her . grave
and reverend signiors a right worshipful
podesta, or magistrate, Bonaparte by
name. Two hundre'd years later the fair
city of Florence reckoned among her
good families of the San Miniato the
Bonapartes—known, by the way, to be
attached to the Orsini, and ready to draw
swords in their quarrel, should hot words
provoke cold steel. One hundred years
later, the Bonapartes emigrated from
Saranza, in the territory of Genoa, to
Corsica, and settle` at Ajaccio. There
they rose to softie eminence; and as there
appears to have been a strong family in
stinct to exercise authority, it occasions
no surprise to find that Charles Bona
parte (emulating the excellent example
of the Paduan podesta) was a magistrate
or judge in Corsica. But there was a
wider field for the display of genius rap
idly opening before the Bonapartes;
the hour was approaching, and this hour
brought the man, who was not only to
exalt himself to the highest pinnacle of
greatness—not only to shed luster on
the family, but completely to overturn
the whole of the then existing constitu
tions of continental Europe, and to be
queath to posterity a name worthy to be
joined with those of Cmsar, Charlemagne,
or Alexande.r.
Charles Bonaparte married Letizia
Ramolino, in 1767. Joseph, his eldest
son, all unconscious of his future great
ness, married a' merchant's daughter of
Marseilles he was subsequently. King
Of Naples and Spain. Lucien, the third
. son, rose to be President of the ()tinned
of Five Hundred. Eliza, eldest daugh
ter of Charles Bonaparte, became Grand
Duchess of Tuscany and Princess of
Lucca. Louis, the fourth son, became
King of Holland. Marie Pauline, anoth
er daughter, became Duchess of Berg,
and subsequently Queen of Naples.—
Jerome became King of Westphalia.--
Crowns and coronets were plentiful, and
the sons and daughters of the Corsican
judge, whose ambition would probably
have been bounded by, civic honor or
magisterial dignity, were elevated to an
eminent position, and taught to sway
scepters or swords, or both, by the bril
liant genius of their brother—second son
of Charles Bonaparte—Napoleon by
name.
It is notfour purpose here to trace the
career of this great man.: he began life
under the patronage of Count de Mar
biLeuf, who procured him admission to
the military school at Brienne ; from
thence he went to Paris ; he was hard
pressed by poverty—a soldier who had
to win fame and fortune with his own
good sword and his own right hand;
things were ripe for a change ; the op
pression under which France had groan
ed ever since the days of the Great
Louis had become insupportable; the
Quartier Rt. Antoine was fast breeding
patriots of the red-cap and red-banded
sort, who christened license Liberty, and
shaved off "tyrants' heads with a ven
geance. such a..man as Napoleon was
wanted. When the ftrorc of the Revo
lution subsided, France found herself in
difficulties, out of which babbling advo
cates could not rascue her without the
help of some great military man. France
looked for such a man, and found
him in the person of Napoleon. Rapidly
he rose to honor and renown—rapidly he
extended the reputation of his name ; he
performed prodigies of valor; every man
under his command fought like a hero ;
"q.hey came, they saw, they conquered."
Their general, great at the council board
as in the camp or on the field, soon turned
his marshal's baton into a scepter. and
on the 2d of December,lBo4, was crown
ed Emperor of the French by:Pope Pius
VII., brought to Paris expressly for
that ceremony.
But there was one European power
which not only maintained its own inde
pendence of Napoleon, , whose troops had
overrun the Continent; but thwarted his
projects and defeated his purpose. Eng
land, by sea and land, asserted her naval
and military power ; allied herself with
the governments which the Napoleon
policy 'he'd Overthrown or threatened,
and et length after a long and terrible
contest, completed the defeat of Napo
leon on the plains of 'Waterloo.
Brilliant as was the career of the First'
Napoleon, the termination of MS reign
was disastrous and melancholy. That
termination was;the obvious result of the
extravagant ambition of the man ; at
tempting to gratify this passion, be over
reached himself and fell to rise no more.
Napoleon left one son. This young
prince, at his birth (March 200, 1,H1,)
uceiv: the title of of Home. In
1815 he was proclaimed Napoleon IL,
but the reverses of his family precluded
him from the exercise of even the shadow
of power ; and, an exile from his native
land, he lingered as Duke of Reichstadt
till the year 1832, surviving his father
nearly eleven years.
The defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo,
and his death at St. Helena, seemed to
bring the Napoleon dynasty to an end.
The star which had so rapidly arisen had
culminated and set; and over-confident
people predicted that it would never rise
again. But the over-hasty are generally
wrong, and their predictions in this in
stance were signally incorrect. When
the DIA% of Reichstadt died in 1832, the
direct line of the family became extinct.
There were, however, four brothers—
Joseph, Lucien, Louis, and Jerome ; and
three sisters—Eliza, Pauline, and Caro
line. Joseph of Spain had no son.—
Lucien of Canino had eleven children,
including five sons. Louis of Holland.
who married Queen Hortense, had three
sons—Napoleon, Napoleon Louis,• and
Louis Napoleon, the last the only sur
viver. Jerome of Westphalia had two
sons—Jerome Napoleon and Napoleon,
and one daughter—Mathilde (Princess
Demidoil). Of the sisters of Napoleon,
Eliza left one daughter ; Pauline left no
children ; and Caroline left two—Lucien
Charles Murat and the Countess Rasponi.
Of the brothers and sisters of the Empe
ror, Jerome was the last. Of the sec
ond generation, the descendants of Luci
an would take precedence by right of
primogeniture ; but Lucien was in dis
grace when his brother fell, and he and
his heirs were excluded. Louis Napo
leon, the present Emperor of the French,
is the only temaining male member of
the families entitled by the laws of the
empire to the succession.
It is unnecessary to enter into any full
detail.of the singularly-checkered history
of Napoleon 111. Confidently believing
that he was born to rule in France, he
has steadily and perseveringly, labored
to that end, passing through troubles
which must have discouraged less de
termined men, and facing dangers before
which less bold men would have shrunk
back ; a prisoner, an esile, a wandering
outcast, he has never resigned the idea
of sitting on his uncle's throne, and that
object 'of his life is accomplished, not at
the sword's point, but by the exercise of
skillful diplomacy. Napoleon 111. haS
shown himself the possessor of very great
intellectual ability, and of no small share
of personal courage ; and, unlike his un
cle, he has thought it best to maintain
an alliance with England. On the field
of battle, and in the peaceful arena . of
art and science, the English and French
—accounted as natural enemies in the
days of Napoleon—have engaged side
by side'; friendly visits have been made
by the sovereigns of both countries to
each other's courts, and amicable rela
tions have been maintained.
DONATION TO SUPPORT "SPINSTERS
:"-
A benevolent and eccentric maiden lady,
Miss P. Townsend by name, died recently
in Boston. In her will she leaves $2O
- to the Home of the Relief of Indi
gent Females iu Boston, and $60,000 to
be applied to the support of those fe
males who, in legal phraseology, are
called "spinsters," or single women.—
She says in her will that she belongs to
the sisterhood, and is is duty bOlind, as
she has the means, to procure them a
shelter from "the world's dread laugh,"
and a quiet home. The recipients are
to be such as are reduced to poverty, not
crime, to be Americans and born of
American parents ; they are to be of the
virtuous poor of this description, , who
are single froM choice or necessity. She
says the cumber will always be larger of
those who are too old or too feeble to
labor for their support, and have out
lived their friends; and trusts they will
find the home a happy asylum.• She also
leaves $20,000 to another home for des
titute females, and $20,000 to the Presi
dent and Fellows of Harvard College,
for the benefit of indigent students".--
Neither did she forget the•ministers, for
Rev. 'Dr. Dewey is made happy by the
receipt•of $5,000, and the same amount

WHAT IS A ZOUATE ?—Here is a pen
portrait of one, by a reportorial contem
porary, which is true to life : A fellow
with a red bag having SUeves to it for a
coat ; with two red bags without sleeves
to them for trowsers ; with an embroid
ered and braided bag for a vest; with a
cap like a red woolen saucepan ; with
yellow boots like the fourth robber in 'a
stage play ; with a moustache like two
half pound paint brushes ; and with a
sort of sword-gun or gun-sword for a
weapon, that looks like the result of a
love affair between an amorous broad
sword and a lonely musket, indiscreet
and tender—that is a Zouave 1 A fellow
who can "pull up" a hundred-and-ten
pound dumb bell ; who can climb up-an
eighty foot rope, hand over hand, with a
barrel of flour hanging to his heels ; who
can do the "giant.swiug" on a horizontal
bar with a fifty-six tied to each ankle ;
who can walk up four flights of stairs,
holding a heavy man in each hand, at
arm's length; and who can climb
greased pole feet first, carrying a barrel
of pork in his teeth—that is a Zonave !
A fellow who can jump seventeen feet
four inches high, without a spring board ;
who can tie his legs in a'double bow
knot round his neck without previously
softening his shin bones in a steam bath ;
who can walk Blondin's tight rope with
his stomach outside of nine brandy cock
tails, a suit of chain armor outside his
stomach, aid a stiff north-east gale out
side of that; who, can take a five shoot
ing revolver in each hand and knock the
spots off the ten of diamonds at eighty
paces, turning summersaults all the time,
and firing every shot in,the air—that is
a Zouave !
HOW TO MAKE A CANDLE BURL—To
make a candle burn all night, in case of
sickness, or when a dull light is wished,
or when matches happeh to be mislaid,
put finely powdered salt on a candle till
it reaches the black part of the wick.—
In this way a mild and steady light may
be kept through the _night, by a small
piece of candle, besides having a light
so blue and sepulchral that if there hap
pens to be a sick person in the room he
or she will be likely to die from horror
before morning, and a healthy person,
happening to wake, will be very certain
to go into hysterics.

" MASON AND DIXON'S LINE."-11l COM
mon conventional usage, "Mason and
Dixon's line " is the boundary between
the Free and Slave States. Concerning
the origin of that line, and its actual ex
tent, the following are the historical
facts :
On the 4th of August, 1763, Thomas
and Richard Penn, and Lord Baltimore,
being together in London, agreed with
Charles Mason and Jerimiah Dixon, two
mathematicians or surveyors, to mark,
run out, settle, and fix the boundary line
between Maryland on one hand, and Del
aware and Pennsylvania on the other.—
Mason and Dixon landed in Philadel
phia on, the 16th of November following,
and began their work at once. They
adopted the peninsular lines, and the
radius and tangent point of the circular
of their predecessors. They next ascer
tained the north-eastern coast of Mary
land, and proceeded to run the dividing
parallel of latitude. They pbrsned this
parallel a distance of 23 miles, 18 chains
and 21 links, from the place of beginning
at the N. B. cdrner of Maryland 'to the
bottom of a valley on the Dunkirk Creek,
where an Indian war-path crossed their
route, and here, on the 19th of Novem
ber, 1767—ninety-three years ago, their
Indian escort' told them it was the will
of the Sioux nation that the surveys
should cease, and they terminated ac
cordingly, leaving 36 miles, 6 chains, and
50 links as the exact distance remaining
to be run west to the southwest tingle of
Pennsylvania, not far from the Broad
Tree Tunnel on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Dixon died at Durham, Eng
land, 1777 ; Mason died in Pennsylvania,
1787.
STARVATION IN KANSAS.—lmmediate
aid is needed in Kansas, and it is urged
by the public journals that the various
State Legislatures, should at once act
for the relief of the sufferers, as it has
been too long delayed by.individuals.—
Contrasted with the worst condition of
the poor in our cities, the suffering- in
Kansas is terrible. The horrors of star
vation in. Ireland were never half realiz
ed in this country. Whole families lay
in the public streets, bowling in the
pangs of death for food, and others died
standing upright against the walls of
houses, looking from their glazing eyes
for bread. Similar scenes are now be
held in-Kansas.
COMING ON.—Letters received in this
city, says the Washington National In
telligencer, from North - Alabama and
some parts of Georgia, represent a great
reaction in progress against the secession
movement. So strong is this feeling in
some 'sections, that they are said to re
fuse to acknowledge the secession ordi
nance, and keep , the stars and stripes
flying. The same feeling prevails in
portions of Mississippi and Louisiana,
and the question naturally arises, will the
Southern Confederacy use .coercion
against its refractory subjects?
A WEDDING INTEEEUTTED.-A young
Polender married a fellow countrywom
an of his in New York, eight years ago.
All went well till some months since when
Mr. I'. went to Chigago on business.—
His wife learned from a friend that the
business was another marriage, dressed
herself and children for a wedding and
followed him. She arrived at the bride's
house-just in time. The children rush
ed into the paternal arms, the bride
fainted ; wife's.brother caned husband ;
wife rushed to the kitchen, came back
with a great dish of boiling soup and
scalded husband so that he died two
weeks after.
CLIARITABLE OFFER.—The Kentucky
Colonization Society, in order to relieve
the free; people of color in that State
froin3lie embarrassing position in which
they have been placed by its free negro
law, which went into operation on Janu
ary Ist, 1861, offer to such of them as are
willing to emigrate to Liberia a free pas
sage thither, and support for six months
after their arrival. Those having fami
lies are offered, in addition, ten acres of
land, as a free gift, upon condition that
they will settle ou it. Five acres are of
fered upon the same terms to every un
married adult, male and female.
@r Business at Haverhill, Mass., is

that very few goods have yet been sold
