vint iuin upon iiiitiomil topics, even though
these should run counter to tho emperor's poli
cy. The result hits more than justified tlieso
expeottitions. It is only n few days sinco the
whole policy which Nnpolenn has manifested
in feguril to Mexico, received it searching re
View anil southing- criticism ul the hands of Unit
emimint French historian and statesman. The
demand mado upon Mexico for tho immediuto
payment of two hundred million francs, when
her entire annual revenue has always been less
than fifty millions, he characterises as exorbi
tant and unreasonable. Rut, unreasonable its
wits this demand, the folly of the emperor's
policy tvas evinced in tho attempts of armed
mtcrfercnoo with the intornnl affairs of the
country, nnd the forcing of tho plans and in
tentiniii of thnt party of tho Mexicans which
was in a deoided minority. These tliiugs.bow
evcr, unreasonable and unwise as they were,
nro now iu the pact, nnd tho responsibility of
them resU only with the emperor. But tho
deputies are reminded that their responsibility
ooiumoRoei now, and that if Maximilian i al
lowed to sot sail for Mexico, under the ausnioei
of French protection, the French nation will
have to assume the entire oare of tlie now
monarch and the gunrdiunship of his empire.
There will bo no treasury for him to depend
upon hut tho French, and it must bo the bayo
nets of Frenchmen only thatoan maintain upon
thutlironiMvhioli he has ancent'tl tlironirli thn
Importunate intrijfuiiiir of the French Emne-
ror. In a word the question as stated by
Thiers is this : Cnu Franco afford to e-tnblisli
an empire iu Mexico and guarantee Its main
tenance J It may be an east' task now. while
tho United Slates is harassed bv its civil struir-
gle, but not fnr off in tho future the French
iberal sees tho tune when tho American rentih-
lio will liava settled its domestic questions
Then, even if tho government should be will
ing lo have a Gnllio mouarchy forcibly estab
lished at her verv duors.thero will be thousands
of soldiers who htive fought too loug for repub
lican institutions to be willing to see the Mexi
can republic ill-starred as it has been, sup
planted by a French Monarchy. The efforts
of Thiers and his party were of course ineffect

deputies was enncerned, and the amendments
to the address of tho deputies to the emperor.
expressing disnpprohnliou uf the Mexionn ex
pedition were rejected by a vote of PJ9 to 47.
Hut the fact that iu Franoe, the nnlicv ol tho
emperor can be reviewed with impartial candor
hi icKiiiuiive nuns, is a Btgnincant one ; una
the fact, loo, (hat one-fifth of tho French
Chamber of Deputies ore willing to take the

Louis Napoleon's fnvorito noliov. is one which
the emperor of the French Nation will do well

Tho report recently made to the State Do
nrtiuciit by Sumuel 11. Ituciles. tho American
delegate to the International Statistical Con
gress, wliich was held at llcrlin in September
last, gives some fitcts iu regard to llio compar
ative growth of our country and iu increased
resources. While the population of Franoe
has increased 37 per cent, in the last sixty
ears, nuu that ol Euglund 121 per cent, the
increase iu America hue been 5U.J per ceut.
During the lust decade merely tho newer west-
rn oiaies oave received an acoesston of over
whore Silesiau popVi'uTion''iorfwliycirfiij.'I.'!.T
the Great battled seven years, und fur iu ex
cess of I lie population of Sootluiid, for the pos
session ot which iMigtauu strove so long. And
(his vast ucoession was gained from the older
Slates and from Europe nnd was occasioned
by (lie increased developments of agricultural
und mineral resources. Duriiip- this sntnu de
cade the assessed value of the property uf these
Mates was increased Iroin 9, 1 JD.UUO.IIIH) to
$:j,U2G,(MK),DU0. Five veurs increase of wealth
at such rales would purchase every commercial
vessel iu Christendom.
The increased capacity of these States for
the production of vegetable and animal food,
lias fully kept pace with tlie increase iu popu
lation. The improved laud of this group of
States has increased from 2(j,fir!0,3(il acres in
1850 to 51.6,3!)5 in JrjoU, and tho number of
acres that are still unimproved is 230,UUSJU3.
The amount of land that has been thus taken
from the forest anil the nruirlu and reduced to
cultivated farms is equal to seven-eigths of
Ltigianus s.ijuu.ikhi ol arable acres, and
there are twenty-eight times 2tj,000,U00 acrea
that are only wailing strong nnd Hilling arms
to make lliein food producing and meu sup
porting. When Ibis is iluue, tho H.UOO.DOO
w oo inhabit these Slates to-day may be multi
plied nitttiy times, anil still there will be mom.
The increase of cereals during the period un
der review was aCJJ.fO.'ilj bushels, while the
swine increased from cU'i(i.lc!J, lo 1 1 .0W.3.VJ,
and the cattle from 4,;l;t.7I2 to 73l,c)l).
less t haii one hundred hours suffices to trans
fer the contents of the Western eranaries to
Eastern warehouses, and to take cuttle from
the Mississippi prairies, nnd place lliem in
slaughter houses upon the Atlantic A famine
in America, or even in any part of the world,
will be impossible, for the Western Stales are
nbuiidantly capable uf feeding ull the ualiuus.
No country can siiow such a rapid nnd perma
nent growth ns ours ; nnd none can give Impel
for thu future so abundant und sure.
GltOWINa POPULAHITYOF TUB NATIONAL
Banks. The National bunkinc system is
growing into pnblio favor rapidly and surely.
imiever nppiisiiinn uieoiu naiiKS nave shown
to it or may show to it in tlie future will Dot
avail at all against it. The people like tlie new
system, and what the people like is bound t go.
Tho lending bankers of New York see which
way tho wind ia blowing, anil am earnestly
agitating the subject nf embarking either wholly
or partially under thu new law. People nil
over the country begin to show a relucfaitoe to
take Mils ol the old banks without they are very
near home. They want currency that has thu
government green mark, and will have It. Ad
vices from the West say that fanners there are
very loth to lake bills on eastern banks and are
imperative In their demand Tor greenbacks in
payment for their produce. This shows which
way the tide nf public opinion is selling, and
fierhaps explain, w hy some uf those whu have
leretufi re opposed the national system arc now
iHvcouiiug anxious lo adopt l.rm(fuld
Republican.
Cum; for Weak Eyes. An elderly gentle
man, accustomed lo " indulge," entered the
room of a certain inii, where sat a grave friend
by the fire. Lifting a pair of spectacles upon
his forehead, rubbing bit inflamed eyes, and
calling lor hot brandy and wpter, ho complain
ed that hit "eye were growing weaker and
weaker, and that even spectacles didn't seem
lo do (hem any good." "I'll tell the, friend,"
replied Ih. Quaker, what I think. If (bee

There's a sound on the wind, there's a thrill chilling

Through my heart, like the pain of an unhappy love i
And the Nutiou. in slumbers she will not resign,

And sobs in her sleep, as tho warnings go past,
'There la danger and discord and Ju7A on the

A Romantic Incident The Culm (N. Y.)
True Patriot records a romantic incident, which
is said to have occurred in Alleghany county a
short time since. A couplo wero married.
The bride was as beautiful ns tho morning)
her eyes like tho sun. The husband was pa
triotic ; he enlisted and went to the war. A
libertine from Cliautaniuo county snw the
beautiful wife, and exclaimed : "Ye gods, how
beautiful !" He sought her moiety, and osten
sibly won her confidence. He proposed an
elopement ; she consented, liu gave her ten
fifty-dollar greenbacks to make tho necessary
arrangements. She consented. The hour was
fixed upon. The villain went to his hotel to
sinnke the impatient hours away, when the fol
lowing letter was put iu his hands :
"Mr. : I have to in form yon tliat circum
stances beyond niv control vi -vent ma.
you to night. 1 expect my busbar J home on
lurlotigu soon, to spend (Jhristinus anil IScw
Year's, when wo shall enjoy a hearty laugh at
your discomfiture. Meanwhile, 1 shall Keep
your money aa a Christmas present for Ii tin.
and, when this cruel w ar is over, it will cotue
handy to assist him to start iu business.
"Yours, 'tenderly,' C. 1 . K.
'P. S. When next tou under lake to play
tho libertino, you would do well to select your
victim otitsidu uf Alleghany county ; and, abovo
all, bewnro of a soldier's wife."
Official Precipitation. Amnng the vis-
itors nt Gencrnl Granger's headquarters, a few
dan since, was a much featured, cunrse un
to red and more ciareely clad negro, who dif
fident and retiring, had not urged his claims
on Ihe nttention of the General, hut, patient
as innocent that looks to time for confirmation,
stood awaiting a summons. There was n par
ty of officer present nides nnd ol oilier ranks
who were nlinnt as listless and Industrious as
staff officera usually arc.and who were devoted
to their several specialties in hnsincss. Ihe
Gctieral summoned his sublu visitor to a hear
ing when the following brief colloquy is said to
hnvfl ensued.
General Well, boy, whnt do you want ?
Negro I want logo to do hospital.sah ; l'e
sick.
General Sick ? What is the mailer with
yon t
Nojrro De doctor he says I got de atnnll
pox, sub.
Now, if the enemy had planted n battery
within range, and dropped a shell iu tho midst
nf Ihe parly, I doubt whether its exploslou
would have exert ed a more potent influence in
clearing the room than did this simple answer.
The Soldiers' Vote. The Supreme Court
of California has decided lo grant a rehearing
in the soldiers' vote matter the case of Hour
land et al, vs. Hildreth et nl. The rehearing
will be probably had at the April term, and it is
believed the former decision will bu reversed,
ns the rehenring wns granted because of the
fact that thn attention nf the Court ha. been
called In authorities and facts that were not ho-
fnro brought to its notice. We earnestly trust
the decision will be reversed and justice done to
a largo body of men lire.
l7Tho cold in Polund is intense. The

retaining llio article to be used as directed,
and off started the gentleman, sending In the

"How many cards have yon leltl" "Well

Another Improvement in Printing.

' Tub Wash-howl amd Divorca. Connu.
biiil war of wash-bowl ia thus shown to be fear- it
fill, by thu New York correspondent of the
Boston Gazelle :
A fashionable couplo, up town, married, but ,
not mated, so the story goes, qunrrulrd a few
morning since, and the irate wife, by advice
of her parents, has sued for divorce. I'he case
is only noteworthy from the ridiculous cause of
Ihe quarrel. Ono morning, It seems, the hus
band washed himself n usual, in thu bowl used
by both ; but tho lndy, for soma reason, re
fused to use it that morning, aud raug tho bell
for another. It was brought, when the now
indignant husband flung it violently to the floor,
breaking it tn pieces. The wife thereupon
called him hard name., when hu looked the
bedroom door nnd insisted that she should use
the bowl. She vowed that iho wouldn't if ihe 1
went "with n dirty face for a week.' Ife swore
that she ihould I and o, filling the bowl, he
seized ber hands, aud using sullioient force,
washed her luce for her. He then unlocked
llio door aud went lo hi business, wbilu the
went Iu consult a lawyer, aud tho auit wat
commenced. If incompatibility of temper
were sullioient ground fur a divorco, we should
require a divoroe Court to altend exclusively to
dissolving tlio marriage lie. ,
Tb'NNELINO NOT A RkPKL INVENTION A
correspondent of the New York Timet, writing
from Bratlleborn, Vt., General Hospital, sayst
1 notice in your paper of this day you give
the credit of inventing the "tunneling," business
totlierebels. I bog leave to Inform von that "tun- ,
neling" a a means of esoane, was known as lung
ago as when thirty-three ufns,officersof ourariny
were oonllntd iu Libby prison, Cistle Pinck
ney, Charleston Jail. Columbia lail nnd Salis
bury prison. At Libby. as early a August 1,
lSlil, some nf the "Bull liuu prisoners" began
o tunnel under Libby, but were sent Sooth lie
fore It could be finished. At Columbia thirty
of our men escaped by tunneling the prison '
yard. At Salisbury (N. C.) a tunnel wo dug
from the sinks to the ouUide of the yard, a di.
tnnoe nf over ten rod, but before it oould be
opened and used the plot was betrayed. I
therefore claim that "tunneling" 1 eminently
a Yankee invention t and it i my humble be.
lief thnt if onr Government due. not make
hasle to exchange the hungry Yankee iu Rich-,
ttioiid they will be popping Iheir lieads out some- '
win re iu China one ol these day, much to Ihe
amazement of tho Celestials and the AWr y hor
ror of the rubs. ,
