leoa's admirers clanimed for him the
treat' dTetihiy ho flntilly'decotmplished; it
was a:cdtninon story in Paris, what ,we
we are about to tell. '

tune, eiren against lier will and without
reiward.' She told her that,she would
ver3' soon be a wife, a widow,' aid after
waitds "Queein f T'rance. The predic,
tion. iiin itself is common enough, but
simple qs it was, it had its eff'ect upon
Josephine, who immediately embraced
it as a .iet, and could for a long time
think of noithino else.
When 'the lilfllment came to the first
part of the predictiont, of cornse it
strengthened her in the belief of the
rest, and even when in piison under
sentence of keatl, and her bed was taken
from her lit liight because she was to die
in the morning, she bade her friends
liave'cobrage that it wonld not be so,
and that she would sit upon that throne
then beneath the bloody feet of Robes
pierre. and when the jailors in derision
called upon her to name her maids of
hoiior, that they might be ready when
slip was queen, she did so, arid her nomn
ination was finally fulfilled to the letter.
On that very night Rohespiorre fell.
Had his dowznfall occurred one week
earlier, Josegplfaie's husband would not
have. been one of his victims; had lie
livCd one day longer she mould have
been another of them.
There was but little lapse of time be
tween her liberation from prison and
hlermarriage to Napoleon, aad it was
by the influence she exerted that he was
appointed to tle' command of the army
in Italy, after which the path that led
them upward was clear and open, until
the destiny she insisted upon was ac
complished, and the crown was placed
upon her head.
But there was one thing more that
Josephine had foretold for herself, which
was the uitter loss of, and rank to, which
sihe had been so wonderfully elevated,
and still while she brooded over this,
Napuoleon, who wais her lonl, gathered
new power and yielded to new ambi
tions; she tried to crush it, and to point
out what should be his true aims; but
he was an Emperor, and desired to be
the founder of a new Empire.
How well her instincts tcld her that
the time was rapidly approaching wh'en
that ambition would put her away.
Then came the, close of the campaign of
1809, and she saw that the hour was ap
pro aohuag still nearer that was to seal
both their fates. There was no longer
the confidence of the past between them
-no longer'.the seeking of sympathy
and advice.
It was on the 20th of November 1809,
and the court was especially gay in hon
or of the King of Saxony. Josephine
sat at the windtlow of her oudoir, look
ing out upon the river, when she heard
ia step at the door, and rose to meet Na
poleon, who caught her in his arms with
more of the olden time embraces than
she had-known for months. She led him
to the sofa on which she had been sit
ting, and seated herself by his side.
For a few moments there was silence,
and hlie spoke:
"Josephine, you have been weeping.
Are you unhappy?"
,"No, sire! not with you."
,"Nonsense! Josephine, who do you
call sire?" Of late you are making
these forms overshadow all our htPli
ness."
"Then why should they not be forgot
tena by both? You have now reached
tlhait point of ambition that shonuld con
tent you. Will you turn the miqniet
godi fr'om your bosom or our own hap
pinessl"
"You misnnderstand me, lady," lie
said, qnickly rising from his sent. and
leaning against the window, said, "I'm
seeking nothing for myself, but every
thing for France."
"It is for France, Napoleon," she said
drawing close to his side and taking his
handl in hers, "that you would put away
froam you, not only a true wife, but a
true friend! Think not that I have
bceu blind, sire, to this. My alarmed
heart has told me all, and believe me
that I am offering no protest to your
will; .bhnt oh, sire, examine well your
heart before you act."
He stood silent while she was peak
ing, and tben( with a face tnned full
upon the streaming umnnonliht, be drew
away his hand~ds. She eontiaued :
'"And, oh, sire, bhelevetme that thonugh
I am to leave your throne and your side,
I shall never cease tolove yon too deep
ly for any peace. Thetefore it is that I
p!.ead that yon will look well into youear
heart before Son yield your thture to
had eopues." .
He drew qnickly from the w;ndow and
w.alked forward to the centre of the
room.
"'You sympatlhize with me, madam; 1
act only with reason. The good of thl
izdividual must. yield to the good o
France. Farewell!"
*"Stop!" said she, and Josephine ste p
ped quickly across the room and caught
his arm, drawing him as she did so againi
to the window. "Do you sea that start
and bl~b pointed at .one, that shone with
marked brightness. This is any destiny
.Iy it you . hare risen. To me it hani
promise.d a..tJhroue, . Through me you
have accomplished it; part from me and
you fall. Yes, fall, to die in sorrow,
neglect and exile! Rememember this, Na
poleon, and remember. these words when
it is not too late to recall the act that
Ino words of unine anti prevent."
SNapoleon gazed almost in terror at
3her who stood like a phrophetoss gazing
out wit:h eyes like fire upon the heavens,
cand then with a hear talmost of sick
ness, he turned away and left the room
without a word.
. Ten dugys passed before hlie ad the
nerve to strike the blow which broke
the golden chain that bound them, and
from that moment, as he afterwards
confessed at St. Helena, the tall of Na
poleon. began, till he died a broken
hiearted exile upon an island in mid
ocean.
tEATH OF AN EvDIToI.---James I
Barnley,. for twenty-four years editor in
chief of the Louisville Denimorat, died
recently, at Louisville, Ky. Prof. Har
ney, prior to the starting of the Demo
crat in 1844, was principal of one of tidh
leading colleges in Louisville, and dln
ring his presidency of that institution
gave to the world a work on algebra,
which, though it met with little success
as a standard work, gave- the author
much reputation as a mathematician.
Mr. Harney was a Democrat of the old
school, and his writings, terse and poin.
ted, showed him opposed to what is
termed progressiveness in'politins. He
died full of years and full of honors.
Ileaco to his dust.
A GIEA&T f NDEU.ITAKIiNG.- The Mor
mons have projected a. temple so nast
in its dimensions that it is estimated a
century or-two will be required for its
colmpletion. It is to be built of granite.
The blocks are so large that ten or
twelve oxein can only draw one of them.
The distaunce from the quarry to the
temple is eighteen miles and it takes
three days for one trip by an ex team.
Brigham says the completion of this
temple will be the signal for the end of
his power and the com ntencement of the
seceond advent. Brigham will be turned
to dust long before that time. But af
ter all, lie has only, in this enterprise,
afforded an expansive, example of the
vanity of mankind, exhibited every day
and everywhere. Brigham, if not more
wise, has at least pronud boast that he
has conceived a prQject that eclipses the
generality of wordly follies, and renders
them, by contrast, of such insignificance
as to make their projectors ashamed of
them.--[liichmond Dispatch.
WrIo wAS SANTA CLA'S.-Santa
Clans was one of the oldest. ideas of the
Celtic West in Pagan times, as he was
of the Pagan East before. In Christian
tines lie was still regarded with religio.u
reverence, sitting, as hel had sat for ages
in Egypt and elsewhere, in the arms of
his another. Santa Claus was, in fact,
the child Jesus in the middle ages; and
throughout that period the festive creed
of Germany and all Celtic Europe was
that he visited all family dwellihngs of
good Cihristinas on the eve of his anni
versary, and brought with him gifts and
blessings for the children. This beanti
ful tradition is still to be found lingering
in G.ermany, though Sata Clanus does
not seem to be Slpcially connected with
it by name. Tihe truth of this original
belief is plainly enoughl' indicated by
the word "Claus," which, in the Gothic
or Ancient German, mIeanias "-Child" ani
"Son." "Santa Claus" formerly meant
the "Holy Child."
A petition to Congress has been got
ten up by some Radical G:rmans of
Boston, asking for an amendment to the
Coustitution to provide for the abroga
tion of the office of President. and for
the apIpointme't t by Congress from
amtnng its own members of an execuntive
committee, or other capable citizens.
Tire idea is that the Presidency is a sort
of remnarnt of royalty that should not
be eonntenanced in a republic.
'lre Radical mind at Washington is
in good condition to receive tihe
Anggestion of this petition favorable.
The Exective is considered an obstrnc
tion to the proper development of the
popular will, and therefore, as nnneces
sary as it is mnischlievous, and shouild
therefore be abolished. The scheme
cnoutemplates that the people shall have
thepower to remove their representa
tives in Congress at any timne during the
term for which they were elected. As
we are in thie mildst of a revolution, we
shall not be sunrprised if this scheme
should be one of its nsuccessfull fruits.

Gen. Grant and the Presitdeney.
"There is uany a slip betwixt the cup
t and the lip"-especially in politics. Twou
weeks ago, it Qc~emed to be regarded as a
conceded ainil settled thing that General
Grnut would be the Republican candi,
date for President. We do not under
take to say that this blossom is already
bhlasted, for the action by which Gen.
Grant Ihas, impaired his chances is yet
too recent to allow its fiull. effects. The

that Gen. Grant is not i. as fair. a way
to get the Republican nomination ias he
waus bethere he committed lilinsel'f the th
Radicals by the part he has acted in the
reiustatement of Stanton.
It may look, at first blush, like a fthu
cifll paradox to ·ay that a candidate
diminaisnhes his chances of a nomninaatioa
by giving in to the policy of the party
fron which he expects it. B. ut in OGen.
Grant s ease there are good retsoiis flor
reerding this apprrent orthodox as the
simple truth. Grant's srtength with the
Repulblicans has grown out of their
fears that hlie would be run by the Damal
ocrats. Had it not been for these fears,
he probably would never have been,
thought of as the Republican candidate.
It was known that he had been bred a
I)emocrat; that lie gare liberal termsof
snrrender to Lee and his army; that he
was an original supporter of President
.olhnson's reconstrnction polic3 ; that he
had protested against the prosecution
for treason of rebelsoldiers if they kept
their pa roles; that he hand endorsed many
applications for pardon by promineiit
rebels; that he had stood at President
Johnson's right hand when lhe received
the committee of the Philadelphia Con
vention; that he ecomnpanied the Presi
dent od his Western tour; that he made
what Senator Sumner denounced as a
"white-w:shing" report on the loyalty
of the Sonth. and its fitness for inmmle
diate restoration; and that he had utter
ed stron" opinions against negro suf
frage. These antecedents were consis
rent enough with a l)emocratic nomina
tion, and it is not strange that, previous
to the great reaction in the fall elec
tions, hi;s popularity as a soldier caused
some discouraged Democrats to look
wistfully toward himi. As soon as this
half-formed design was discovered, as
tite Replhlicans undertook to head it
off hy holding ont to Grant the lure of
the Repuiblican nomination. Grant was
at first shy! he then wavered; then en
vcloped himself in thick mysrery; anda
'at last he has changed his politics. ant
in this step his ambition has got the bet
ter of his discretion as well as of hisl
principles. By rendering it impossible
for the ])emocrats to run him, lie has
restored to the Repuhblican party its full
freedom of choice. They are no longer
under the necessity of trying to put his
prestige into their scale, lest the DIemo
crate should have the advlantage of it.
In times so tunrlhlent and changeful
as those on which we are entering, it is
not safe far anybody to turn phropliet;
but as we cast Gaant's horoscope at this
plresent itmomalent, his prospects aare 1verg
ing toward an eclipse.-[iN. Y. World.

OLDES. T :i'REi'UILIC IN 'EXISTENCI.
--The oldest r(-alblic in existencue is
that of Sial Marliao, in Italy, between
the Apenlnines, the Po, andl the Adria

forty miles in circmanftrence, and its
ipopulation about 7,000. The republic:
was foiunded more than 1,400 years ago,
on mnoral priniciples, industr-y and equity,

There has been considerable talk inl
regard to the circular No. 1 rccetitly is
sted fron the Freedmen's Bureau, rela
ting to advances of corn meal and Ineat
to planters. It is rather too coUnplex,
too restrictive in its provlisions to lie of
any great benefit. It will not, tend ,to
prodnce fifty thousand bthalt cotton.. It
is as stringent in its rebqirements.as
sitnlilfr olders heretofore issued.
By article:hird it will be6' s:en the
planter mnef hind himself to refuntud the
costs of supplies (merley c'ot'nuual aPdc

say ltha 31st. I)DecemIber next. This is
rather too stringent. Ilundredsof plan
ter~ cannot forward their crtops to market
beforet thae ;months of Jauuaury, and
Febhrary. and many in remote Isections
not till March, as the situntion and low
stae ofl'the riversa and bayous inl our
St.ate co;firm tit this time.
.Another most palpable proposal of in
instice is that he Bureaun is to st'lect
andl designate the morchanlts or factors
in our city, who shall receivo and have
the selling of the crops. The question
is asked, does the (iovcrnmient, through
the Bureau nia agents intend to open
a ogeneral foeterago and commission
business? Another important view is to
be considered. How are the prices and"
vnlne of the supplies to be furuishedt
liVho is to furnish them? By contraet
tors, or the regular. commissary depart
mnent of the GoSvernmentmc
It will be observed that those desi'roan
of availing themselves of the provisions
of this order, must make affidavit that
they are actually in a state of starvation;
must give bond and security for every
twent:v freedmen for whom Supplies are
wanted. The next important qnestion
is who is to determine the prices for the
supplies. Government con traetors are
generally disposed to take advantage if
possible. WVo do not find any provision
made for bagging, rope or iron-ties, nor
for iinplenients for working the laud
carts, muoles or horses.
A planter may be in a situation to
furnish bagging and rope. Is the
freedman to have at first lien, or rather
Government, on the cotton, irrespective
of the bagging and ties? The cotton
canot hI sent to market without being
bailed, nor can sugar and molasses he
shlipped without hlhds. and barrels.
Tht-re will also be other necessaries
required. The circul:ar is t-onflned to
merely corn timeal, hard bread and meat.
If there should be at large iulnbher avail
themselves of tihe tender of the (Gove'rnl
meat, we shall expect next anutumn to
have a large increase of new 'cotton
houses.
There dose not nppear to I)e any
provision made whereby the freedmen
can be comnpellea to perform their
contraets. Circular No. 2 is about as
complex regarding transfer or mnoving
from one parish to another. The fact is
simply, the planting and rasing is
beyond the abil.ty of the Government.
There will of course le some planters,
who will avail themnselves of the
propos:ls. 'We hope they may succeed.
VWe, however, believe there will not be
fifty tlhousand bales of cotton, at this
port, added to the crop through the
nction of the Government Bureau niid
agents. The authoritiest t 1Vashingtola
possess very little intelligence in regard
to cotton and sugar cultu.re.--[fcw Or.
