Sleep is the Olden Time. There are

also admitted to share winter quarters in
each other's castles with the same cordial

To be an Emperor has not of late years
been the sure and prosperous business
that it was prior to the French devolution.
Formerly an Emperor always commanded
a large salary, while his duties were very
light. The "Emperor of Russia, for exam
ple, merely had to wear his uniform on
state occasions, and to occasionally order
a tew unplfisant people- to emigrate to
Siberia? vTlie rot of his time belonged to
hiniM If alone, and he could do in all re-i-pects
precisely what lie chose. So, too,
the Emperor of Austria's duties were
merely nominal. Mctternich attend
ed to f lie imprisonment of Italian patri
ots, and saw that the Emperor received his
salary every Saturday night. 11 u Majesty
really took no active part in the work of
government, but devoted his whole time
to at!iuiiig himself, and improving his
mind in the society of ladies of wit and re
tineuient. At the present time, however,
the lile ot an Emperor in a really remu
nerative situation is a busy one. The late
Emporufi Napoleon ! had to provide hin
jh-o'! wMU war and" other renition;
the Enicror William has to atteivl to his
ann v, and the Emperor of Austria, though
his busy seaon is now over, has been
coinefied to do a great deal of hard work
in order to satisfy his Hungarian clients.
Mori-over, the business lacks the element
of security and jierniar.ence. An Empe
ror may Ik-discharged and set adrift in the
world without a character, almost at any
time. Napoleon 111. was thus discharged,
without even a week's warning, and it he
had lived, would never have been able to
resume business, unless the French peo
ple had kindly condescended to take him
bai-k. It "is no longer an easy
and sale "thing to Ye an Em
jieror, and it i probable that few
of us are -ulHeicntlv thankful for the fact
that ourd:ulj liH-ad ,ix comparatively se
cure, and that we are not called upon to
earn a precarious living in the capacity ol
Emperors.
It is, however, of the csccial woe which
has overtaken the Emjwror of Austria
that we are about to speak. That he is.
as Emperors go, a wli-mming and ef
ticeiit Emperor, is generally conceded.
He has had a good deal of trouble with
turbulent Italians and Hungarians, and it
was felt that he ought to be permitted to
live out the rest of his life without further
annoyance. But Francis Joseph was tiot
born "to bft Ifftppy. hnd a Dew t rouble ol en
extremely "ptiUifal'Tiattire has come upon
him. His wife, who is a handsome and ir
reproachable woman, has suddenly left
him, and he is now pacing his lonely pal
ace, a prey to remorse and melancholy.
A short time since. London was sudden
ly astonished bv the arrival of the Empress
of Austria, who had traveled with great
rapidity and secrecy from Vienna to Lou
don, with but two or three attendants.
She only made the merest calls of ceremo
ny upon the Queen and the Princess of
Wales, and then withdrew to a furnished
cottage in the Isle of Wight. Here she re
sided in strict seclusion, and gave no satis
factory answer to the Question: ")Vheu
iliil die exneet LerTiiih:uw1 ?' llavs Pass
ed on, and no husband appeared, and Ixin
don made up its multitu Jinous mind that
Francis Joseph's wife had run away from
him, ami that he would either come after
her at an early day and compel her to re
turn, or would publish the usual warning
to tradetaMiahat. Jm arouldpa? no debts
contracted bT his wife. ' - . T I
But Francis Joseph evidenfly shranlc
from publicly announcing that his wife
had left bis 'bed and board. Jle tried at
first to bear his los in silence. VUien,
however, a man has Itcen accustomed, lor
a score of years, to the society and assist
ance of his wife, he finds it very difficult
to live without her. We can easily nnder
stand how th: Emperor found his break
fast badlj oofceil, and his dinner never
ready at the proper time. To be able to
smoke in the best parlor-was a poor com
pensation for ' the "absence of buttons on
his shirts. Perhaps, in the first moments
of his freedom, he congratulated himself
that now be could read in bed without be
ing urged to put the gas out and go to
sleep like a sensible Emperor; but when
he failed to find his night-shirt neatly laid
out for him,, and searched in vain for his
drcssuig-nruM'n ami slippers, ho felt the
mockery of freedom at such a cost And
so it came to pass that on day the Empe
ror announced that he intended to visit
England. , Of course, he did not say that
he was going to bring his wife back, but,
a soon as the Loudon Time mentioned
his intention, every one knew what the
Emperor's real motive was, and scolfingly
declined to believe tlie poor pretense put
forth by his friends, that he was coming
to London merely to see about takinz out
a new insurance policy on his house and
furniture in Vienna.
But no soonerdid the Empress hear that
her husband was coming for her than she
hastily left her furnished cottage and came
to London where she could alwa s find a
ool iceman within hail. Doubtless she took
pains to inform the Emperer tliat if he at
tempt to speak to her she would have
hiin arrested. At all events, the unhappy
Frances Joseph reconsidered his intention,
and still remains in Vienna, waiting in
vain for the return of his runaway wile.
What is the cause of the quarrel which
has thus divided a once happy pair can, of I
cour-, only be conjectured. The current
impression in London ami lenna is mat
the Empress has discovered some eause
for jealousy, and has left her faithless hus
band in a lit of anger. Still it must be ad
mitted that hitherto he has borne an ex
cellent character, and that at his age he
would hardly go astray lor -uu; nrsi nine
from the paths of virtue. A more possi
ble conjecture that the two differed on
the subject of the Beet her scandal, and that
sooner than yield her belief in Mr. Beech
er's innocence, or Msten to her husband's
attempts to read Tilton and Moulton's
statements to ner, tne impress nas pie
ferred to temporarily leave him.
In any event, the nignt oi me impress
is a new proof that to be an Emperor is
not iieoHssnrilv to be happv Francis
Joseph probably finds no solid satisfaction
in wearing ins crown, now mat iu ue
is not present to aumire nun, mm

solitary and miserable man, and wnatever

Commercial Arbitration.
The last New York Legislature passed
an act providing lor the organization of a
Court of Arbitration for the City of New
York, having jurisdiction over mercantile
ilisnntmr nr matters of difference arising
within the lesral limits of this port The
Governor beinir authorized to appoint the
Arbitrator, with the advice and consent of
the Senate, selected Judge Fancher, re
cently one of the Judsres of the Supreme
Court of this State. The Court was last
week duly ojiened by appropriate pro
ceedings, including an aumirauiu i-iicecn
by Judge Fancher, and is now ready to
nrnri'e.l to its work.
Any member of the Chamber of Com
- . -i . . . i .. .i .
mcrce liavmff a dispute wun any uuiei
memlier on a mercantile question may
summon him to appear before this Court
and bo oarties who are not members may
a;rree to refer their differences to the Court
for adjudication. Either party may object
to the process bv seasonably tiling a de
claration to this effect : but il no such ob
jection be filed then the Court has acquired
jurisdiction over the matter involved, and
ils award is final, without the right of ap
peal, except for frauds or collusion or cor
ruption on its part. j-.acn party is euuuci
to nominate one person to sit with the Ar
bitrator and participate in the trial of the
question and making the award. If no
fciieh nomination bo made, then the Arbi
trator sits alone and determines tlie whole
ninttpr.
The PTciit obiect to be secured by such
a court is to facilitate the settlement of
commercial disputes, without the heavy
expenses and long delays of ordinary
courts of law, while, at the same time
doing justice to the parties interested. It
is 1s.icrnnrt to he a remedy for many of the
evils attendant npon the usual methods of
law litiffattou. .Nor Is it by any means an
untried experiment. Similar courts have
existed In several of the countries of Lu
rope for nearly half a century, and the ef
tect has been found cood and only good.
No one is absolutely compelled to submit
to their jurisdiction, yet when parties have
consented to it thev are lound by it. We
cannot doubt that what has been so sue
cesslul in Europe will be equally so in this
country. New York City is the place to
beirin tlie work, and if here it shall prove
a success then the example will be imitat
ed in other cities. We believe in arbitra
tion for the disposal of both individual and
national differences. It is the short way,

Some are of the opinion that there ought
to be a right of appeal from the decision of
this court to the Court of Appeals in this
State. There should be no such right on
mere questions of fact ; and, if it be grant
ed at all, the right should be confined ex
clusively to points of law. A general

Showing the-Boys in Washoe how to
, x Shoot. "
Recently, at a saloon on the Divide,
some men were discussing the shooting
aft" ray which occurred during the morning
between tlie two brothers-in-law, Fallman
and Ward. It was agree on all hands that
it was shocking bad shooting a discredit
to Washoe. At List a Piocue man banter
ed a (iomstock man, whom he knew to be
a good shot with a pistol, to go out in the
back yard with him and do some shooting,
just to show the 005 s how it should be
done. In the saloon was a box of eggs,
and what the Piochor proposed was that
each fchoot two eggs off the. bare head, of
the other at the distance of ten paces, the
one missing to treat the crowd. The
Comstocker was bound not to be bluffed
by a man from the other end of the State,
so to the back vard all hands adjourned.
Each man usil hU own six-shooter. The
( omstocker first "busted" his ejrg on the
top of the Tioeher's head, which exploit
was loudly applauded by all present. It
was now the Piochcr's turn to shoot and
an egg was produced to be placed upon
the head ol the Comstocker, but when he
removed his hat there was a great laugh,
for tlie top of his head was as smooth as a
billiard ball. For full ten minutes all
hands tried in vain to make an egg stand
on his head. It couldn't be done. The
Piocher then taunted the Comstocker with
having gone into the arrangement know
ing that he was safe. The latter told him
to set up bis egg and it was all right he
was there. The Piocher went into the sa
loon, and a moment after came out with a
small handful of flour, which he dabbed
upon the bald head ol the Comstocker,
and then triumphantly planted in it his
egg. fell back ten steps, and then knocked
it off. The Comstocker then told him to
set up his second egg and shoot at it. as he
didn't want his head chalked twice during
the game. This was done, and the wreck
of a second eg streamed oyer the Com
stocker's pate. The Piocher now stood
out with his last egg on his head. The
omstocker raised his pistol and fired.
The Piocher bounded a yard into the air,
and the egg bounced whole from his head.
" I've lost !" said the Comstocker. " Let

smtorsror her nana. airs. Amoia wauieu
Miss Arnold to have one, and Miss Arnold

marry Mr. Henry Posey, while Mrs. A.
was determined she should marry another
young man, whose name we withhold, as
he came out second best and we do not
care to advertise him in his unhappy dis
appointment The contest between the widow and her
daughter had been spirited and long, and
young Posey, being, as it were, on the out
side ol the "ring," had many neart trou
bles. At last Mrs. A. seems to have got
her daughter's consent to marry the young
man, and matters were becoming desjx'rate
with Posey, who was still thechoice ol tne
rouns lady.
The time for the wedding was drawing
near, l'osey discourased and very unnap
py ; young lady discouraged and unhap
py; young man jubilant and conscious of
triumph; old lady jubilant and conscious
of triumph. Posey sent a letter to Miss A.,
proposing an elopement, and the young
lady agreed. The plot was laid by the as
sistance of a young lady friend of the lov
ers, and was carried out as follows :
Miss A. asked her betrothed to take her
to the opera-house, Wednesday night and
he, of course, did so. After the perform
ance, and just as they were turnins the
corner of the opera-house, Posey, "who
was standing by the open door of a car
riage, caught the young laxly by the arm.
She relinquished that of her escort, jump
ed lightly in the carriage, and almost be-
lore the deserted and mystihed man Knew
what had been done, he found himself
standing alone, and saw the carriage driv
en rapidly awav down Tenth street. So
quietly and quickly was the little side
show performed, that few, if any, noti'sed
anything unusual in the proceedings go-
insr on.
The vounz man hastened to Mrs. Ar
nold and told his story, and that good
ledy's excitement and indignation were on
the grandest and most unlimited scale;
but nothing could be done. It was too
late to follow the carriage.
Yesterday, a letter was received from
Mr. and Mrs. Posey, dated at Topeka, sta
ting that they were going to Emporia
(from which place Mrs. A. and daughter
removed to this city a few months ago), to
spend the honeymoon.

An amusing incident occurred in one of

recess one of the boys had the misfortune
to make an ugly rent in that portion of his
pantaloons which his 6horttailed coat
could not possibly conceal. By the aid of
his svmDathizinr schoolmates the torn
garment was in due time pinned together.
and by walking very straight the boy wa
enabled to sidle into the school-room and
to his seat without attracting particular at
tention. Things promised to work favor
ably until, from some cause, the unfortu
nate was summoned to the platform. This
order he could not obey without display
ing to the whole school the breach in his
pantaloons, and so he sat still in his seat,
turning very red in the face, and looking
mortified lievond description. The ladv
teacher took his hesitation for insubordi
nation, and sternly ordered him to the
front. Still he did not move. The teacher
liecame angry, and, hastilv writing a note,
dispatched it to Professor Uogers, inform
al"- him of the conduct ol ner pupil, and
at tlie same time commanding the blush
in2 and mortified boy to pack up his books
and prepare to leave school. The courier
with the message to the Professor had
scarcely left the room when he was over
taken by the suflerer, and together they
sought out the Professor and explained
matters. By the laughing and blushing
manner in which the lady teacher perused
the reply to her note, it was inferred that
matters were satisfactorily righted, and the
charge ot insubordination withdrawn
leaving the unlucky young man in good
standing in the estimation of his teacher.

Leatherette A New Material.
The British Trade Journal describes
the above artich; a new patent imitation
of leather as follows : It is so good an
imitation that a superficial observer would,
in nine cases out ot ten, take it tor the
real article. The grains of the diflerent
kinds of leather, such as basil, seal, moroc
co, etc.. are reproduced with a fidelity
quite remarkable. In the process ol
"graining," a real skin of leather of any
given description, which it may be desired
to imitate, is t ken as a mold, and lrom
this an impression is obtained on sheets of
fibrous pulp by the exercise of enormous
nnuBiim 'tiia tli. irrain if ilia imitti.
tion article is an actual fac-simile of that of
the real. Leatherette is obtainable in any
color, and, while it is only about one-eight h
the cost of leather, possesses some mani-
lest advantages over the latter, wnicn win
scarcely fail to make it a commercial suc
cess, t or instance, it is stronger man
leather of the same thickness, and is of
uniform Quality, so that forty or fifty
forms may be cut at the same time, while
the blemishes that occur in leather neces
sitate each form being cut singly, and that
by experienced, and therefore expensive
hands. It is not so prone to soil, and is
waterproof. The scoj)e ottered in difler
ent trades for the utilization ot such an ar
ticle is obviously great. Upholsterers, hat
liners, box makers, purse makers, book
binders, etc., may, among others, turn ii
to useful account. For book-binding it is
admirably adapted, and probably in this
branch of trade will work no small revo
lution, seeing that it affords handsome and
realistic bindings at such a reduced cost
There can be no doubt that leatherette is
an important invention.

F lace it so near the lire that it blackens.
)ry toast should be more gradually made
than buttered to;isf. as its arreat beauty
consists in its crispness, and this cannot be
attained unless tlie process is slow aim tne
bread is allowed gradually to color. It
should never be made long before it is
wanted, as it soon becomes tough, unless
placed on the fender in front ot the tire.
AS soon as eacn piece is reauy, il snoum dc
put into a rack, or stood upon its edges,
and sent quickly to table.
AN tCOOMICAL bTEAM KETTLE. A
lady communicates to the Cottage Hearth
her method of extemporizing a steam ves
sel for cooking. She says : "The most
convenient and economical apparatus for
steaming that 1 have ever used is tne loi
lowing: Take the dinner kettle that
comes with a seven or eight-inch stove.
place in the bottom of it half a brick nicely
washed. Dour in water to nearly or quite
cover the brick, and set it over the fire.
when it boils, or nearly so. set in your
bread or pudding dish, and cover closely
witn a un cover, oi conical iorm, hiui a
rim set on the edge so that it will fir. the
kittle closely, and suffer no steam toes
cape, it tins cover ooes not come wun
the kettle, you can get one maoe ai uie
tin-shop for half a dollar. The flat cover
throws the steam back on to your bread,
and cannot be made to lit as nicely. This
arrangement has the advantage over a
steamer set over the kettle, in that it brings
your bread much nearer the tire, requires
much less fuel, raises it lighter and cooks
it more thoroughly. All batter and berry
puddings, and even biscuit and custard
puddings, are cooked very nicely in this
manner. A breakfast Johnny-cake may
be cooked in this way with mucli less fuel
than it would require to bake it. An In
dian pudding, made as for baking, can be
steamed over a fire that would have little
effect upon the oven of a large stove. Ce
careful not to fill the dish too full, as
steaming raises the pudding more than
bakin"-. Stir it down once or twice. I
have "saved many cords of fuel by this
method."
Capital Punishment in England.
About 1807 a poor woman with two
children, one at the breast, stole from in
side a shop door a piece of linen worth
some seven or eight shillings. She, how
ever, had not proceeded far when the re
pented of her crime, and was returning to
the shop with it when she was arrested.
She was tried at the Old Bailey, convicted,
and condemned to death. The jury aud
the prosecutor unanimously recommended
tlie woman to mercy, on account of her
husband having been pressed as a sailor,
her starving condition at the time,andher
previous unblemished character. But all
in v:iin. Tlie Judze refused to indorse the
application, and the woman was executed
at Tyburn, the child being taken from her
breast at the foot of the gallows, in tne
minds of a large majority of the public
this execution created great indignation,
and a bill was brought into Parliament to
abolish tlie punishment of death for steal
ing in a shop to the value of five shillings.
This bill was at first thrown out in the
House of Peers, the Judges being against
it. The bill subsequently passed into law.
On the introduction into the House of
Lords of a bill for the abolition of the pun
ishment of death for stealing in a dwelling
house to the value of forty shillings, the
majority of the Judges were against it.
Lord EllenborouL'h was particularly ener
getic in his opposition, arguing, as the law
stood, it worked well,and why then should
it be altered? One of the Peers was so
struck with the validity of the learned
Lord's arguments that he said : "We shall
not be able to place our heads with safety
on our pillows if that bill parses luto
law I" In the thirty years from 179'J to
1829, for offenses airaiiist the Bank Act
nlnne. 2 men were capitally convicted
and 1,161 were transported ; yet, till pub
lic opinion became too strong to be disre-
o-nrded. the Judges offered little opposition
to such atrocious cruelty. The Saturday

Destruction in Disguise. It is a fact
that mixtures of bad liquors and aeld as
tringents are often given for medicines.
They are potent to destroy ! and may be
safely warranted to ruin, morally and
physically, any human being that sticks to
them lon'g enough. More drunkards have

labelled medicines, than by the liquors of
Commerce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
ms remedies, are more mischievous than
tavern drams. For intermittent and re
mittent fevers, as well as lor all other dis
eases which these fiery frauds are falsely
certified to relieve, Dr. Walker's Vine
gar Bitters, the ne plus ultra oi vegeta
ble medicines, is a positive cure, uui mis
is not all; the great Temperance Elixir is
a sovereign specific for the depraved appe
tite for stimulants, created by the false
tonics and bogus restoratives, of Mission
aries of Intemperance. Within the present

fied that a course of Vinegar Bitters in
