The elder branch. of the Bourbone has been expelled as incapable: the younger cannot long remain, such is their folly, and the Empire must therefore return. I shall, on coming to the throne, decentralize France, liberalize the Government, and afterwards attend to the material interests of the people, which the First Emperor had not time to do.” My no- ble informant added, that on the same day of receiving this communication, sent it to his Government, and that it is now on record. He moreover told me of a curious reply of Lord Malmesbury’s, then Foreign Secretary, lto his enquiry as to what sort of a man he took Napoleon to be, at the moment when the Prince had become President of the French Republic. "‘ All I 'can say,” returned the English nobleman, “ is this that he is a most extraordinary person. \Vhen he was interne 'at Geneva, I happened to be passing a con- siderable time there also and every morning he used to sit for hours with me, discoursing with intense interest of France, and French afl‘aire, without any particular objector rea- son, 56 tar as I could see.

A door a-jar near the danc- ing-hall revealed invitingly, a glimpse of a comfortable bed, of which he tool: possession with a prospect of an undisturbed “snooze.” It so happened, however, that this was the ladies withdrawing-room, and he no sooner had closed his eyes, than a pair of blooming damsels came in from the hall, and began adjusting their disordered rlnglets, the dim light of the tallow candle not disclosing the tehant of the bed The girls had tongues (like most of their “seck”) which ran on in this wise : Have ion heard any Body say {ya} thing about me. Mrs. M’Cabe, a resident of the thirteenth ward in this city, died on Saturday at the ex- traordinary age of 106 years. She was a na- tive of Ireland, and the mother of Mr. Alex- ander M’Cabe, a well-known leather dealer in this city. Mrs. M’Cabe was born in 1754, which was one year before Braddock’s cele- brated defeat at For: Dequesne. She was 15 years old when Napoleon 1, was born.â€" She had attained the age of ‘22 years when the declaration of American Independence was made. If President Monroe or the Mar- quis Lafayette were living, they would be several years her juniors. She was older than Alexander Hamilton, and approximated 1 fery nearly to that of Thomas Jefferson, who i was born in 1743. Mrs. M’Cabe'was old e- nough to remember the taking of Quebec by Gen. Wolfe, in 1759. She was verging on middle age when the American Revolution- ary was closed. The memorable exploits of Fedez‘j‘ghthe Great, of Prussia, had not been performed when Mrs. M’Cabe was born.â€" When the first white man came to Kentucky she was 15 years old. She was born a sub- 'ect of King George II. Since that time there are been three Kings and one Queen on the English throne, one of whom reigned sixty years. The papulation of the United States iwhen she was born did not amount to more than a million and a half. She has seen it increase to thirty millions. “'6 are soon tol elect the sixteenth President of the United States. Mrs. M’Cabe was thirty-five years old before such an office existed. She was born before William Pitt became Prime Min- , isteor to England, and before Maria Theresa became Empress of Austria.

Columbusâ€"Cincinnati Enquirer. .Louis Napoleon had not been in authority a month before a special train bore him to the maid land of Marshes, and after a personal in- spection of it, two miilions were immediately assigned for the commencement of one of the most useful and benevolent works now in progress within the limits of France. More Truth than Poetry. DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN. Extraordinary Life. The following is an extract from a'letter written to a friend by his clever and amiable naturalist :-â€"“One of my boys caughta mouse in sehool a few days ago, and directly march- ed Up to me with 'his‘ prize. I‘ sat about drawing it. the same evening; ,. and all the while the panting of its little he ' to be in the most extreme agOnies 6f fear.â€" I had intended to kill it, in order to flxnit in the claws of a â€"stnfled_e\vl-; but happened toi spill a few drops of water near to Where it was tied, it lapped it up with such eagerness, l l Last Autumn a young lady left Dundee for ’ Alexandria, to visit relations resident in that city. As the passengers were landinsr‘ at Alexandria a richly attired Turk advanced to look at the arrivals, and seemed to be 1n- stantly struck with the charms of the damsel from “bonny Dundee.” He approached her and suddenly flung a string of figs about her neck. The captain of the ship came forward, and informed his bewildered passenger that the Turk’s gift was a token of admiration and affection. The matter speedily became serious. Through the medium of an inter- Epreter, the Turk entered into conversation with the captain, and inquired the sum for which he would be willing to sell the lady ° 0 v he had nine wives already he said ; but could he possess this new beauty, she would be the Queen and “Light of his Harem.” The cap- tain, for the sake of ajoke, replied that her price was 60,000 piastres (about, £500.) The Turk grumbled at the enormous demand; it was just double, he said, what he paid for the most handsome Circassian, Georgian, or Mingrelian, ever brought to the ‘ Alexandrian market. The Captain, however, stuck to his price; and so the parties separated. But on the following morning, when the Uaptain,was escorting the lady to the residence of her re- lations, the Turk again made his appearance, and throwing another fig necklace around the lady’s neck, intimated that he was now pre- pared to give the requisite sum! Here was a dilemma. But the captain soon cleared himself. “Poh!” said he, “you’re too late: I sold her yesterday for a thousand piastres more ; so you’ve lost her.” The same young lady was married, theother day, in Dundee; â€"â€"Pe-rth Courier. Died, in Presscott, C. W'., on the 15th Match, .Mary, the ‘widow of the’ late Rev. Isaac Purkis, in the 58 year of her age. The deceased was" relict of a lineal des- cendant ofv-“th’e Purki's who carried the body of King VVillam Rufus from the New Forest to Winchester, in Hampshire. Everybody knows the story of the death of the second Norman King, who was shot by Walter Ty: ell ' while hunting in the New Forest, on the 2nd, of August,1100. In order that an event so; remarkable might not hereafter be forgotten, a triangular stone was set up by John Earl Delaware on the spot where the King’s body was found; and near this spot, from that time to the present day, reside several families of the name of Purkis. There are two brothers of the late Rev. Isaac Purkis now living in Southampton, England, who were eye-wit- nesses to an accident which happened fifty years ago to the Princes Amelia, a daughter of King George III, only a few miles from the spot where Rufus was killed. Isaac Purkis was one of a large family of twelve children who was the first of his family to leave his native land, some thirty five vears ago, when he come out as a flIontreal Transcript. On Friday morning a telegraphic dispatch was received at the New York police head quarters‘from Albany. stating that James Bay- lis, a boy 12 years of age, had eloped from ' that city with a girl named Ellen Shurer, ‘ aged thirteen years. By diligent exertion, the owners, discovered that the very fast young lady had an acquaintance living on the Eighth Avenue, and supposing that the couple would proceed there, watched the house, and caught them entering about six o’clock in the evening. James and Ellen expressed much surprise at the sudden state of affairs, and police head quarters, where they were taken by the officers. The girl said she had not yet beeome a wife, though waiting to be one, and i supposed that for the present she would have i to give up all hope, owing to the .‘great fuss’ her folks had created. Neither she nor ‘Jinl- my’ had been well treated at home, and they hardly knew a better course to pursue than to come on to New York, and seek their for- tunes together. Obtaining tltree dollars, they started on the boat for New York, hiring a state-room for one dollar, and having another ,dollar left. ' After spending all their money, ' the ambitions pair sought out the eighth av- enue acquaintance, ‘where, as above stated, they were arrested. The girl is bright, in- telligent little thing, quite pretty, but rather forward in her manners. She 'spoke with great confidence, and did not seem to be al- armed, apparently fearing more for ‘Jemmy’ than herself. On Friday she went all over 2 the city looking for work. The boy is a fine ‘ looking child, and seems to be more alarmed than the girl. Both are poorly dressed, and the probability is, that not having been well treated at home, they took this means of re- dressing their grievancesâ€"Boston.

The Ojibways number" about one thousand souls, have embraced: Christianity and become civilized ; and have good farms, comfortable houses, and pleasant homes, which are about to be taken from them “by the ruthless hand of power.” The fair ambassador of the red man is said to be gifted by nature, highly educated, and a. member of the Methodist church. He said he had received a letter , from a' gentleman in Cincinati, who had ,made it his .epecial'business to in? stigate the’ adultera- ;tion of spirituous‘liquors there.

A young Indian failed in his attentions to a squaw. She made a complaint to an. old chief, who appointed a hearing or trial. The lady laid the case before the judge, and ex- plained the nature of the promise made to her. It consisted of sundry visits to her Wigwam, many little ‘undefinahle attentions’ and pres- ents of a bunch of feathers and several yards of red flannel. This was the charge. The faithless swam denied the ‘undefinable at- tentions’ in toto. He had visited her father’s : Wigwam, for the “purpose of passing away time when it was not convenient to hunt 5‘ and had given the feathers and flannel from friendly motives, and nothing further. Dur- squaw had fainted. The plea was considerâ€" ed invailed, and the offender sentenced to give the lady a yellow feather, a brooch that was then dangling from his nose, and a doz- en coon skins. The sentence was no sooner concluded than the squaw sprung to her feet, and clapping her hands, exclaimed with joy, ‘Now me ready to be courted again.’ Dmtcnons r0}: Rama , __--- ---.-‘. “5v aws- UL lull“ hair to the chin, be divided into three equal parts, thelfirstgdivision determines where the eyebrows meet, \and t e second the» place of the nostrils.
