8XETCUES OF
HIS CAREER A8 EMrEROIl
FRANCE.
OF
Incidents in Hia Lifefrom Childhood
to Hia Downfall.
The life of Charles Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte, full of romance aud ad
venture, shows what a man tan ac
complish by a concentration of all his
Eowers upon one purpose, lie woh
orn in Paris, April 20, 1808, and was
the j ouugat sou of Louis Bonaparte,
the brother of Napoleon the Grout,
and who was for a time, King of Hol
land, and Hortense, the daughter of
the Empress Josephine. A ncandal
which has trained considerable cie-
denco, from the reputation which Hor
tense, like other members of tue
Beauharnois family bore, has attribut
ed his paternal parentage to Count
FJttbnult, with whom Hortense hiin-
tamcd rather doubtful relations.
However, this may be, he was born in
the midst of unquestionable surround
ings, and his legitimacy further estab
lished by the Emperor and Empress
serving as sponsors at his baptism.
An eariy favorite of his uncle upon
bis return from l'Aba, be was taken
by him to the Camp de Mars, aud
there, nt the age of seven, presented
to tho Deputies of the people and the
army. When Napoleon embracea
him for the last time at Mahnaison,
previous to his departure for St. He
lena, both were much affected, the
child wishing to follow his uncle, and
being pacified with great difficulty bj
his mother.
tlllLUHOOD.
After tbe lmttle of Waterloo had
decided the fate of the Napoleonic dy-
nantr. Louis, in company with his
mother, took up his residence at Augn
burg, where he learned the German
language. bubsequcntly they re
moved to Switzerland, where they
passed their Summers, while in the
Winter they retired to Home.
EDUCATION.
The education of Louis Napoleon
during the continuance of the first
Empire and the residence of the fami
ly in Paris was superintended by his
mother, tbe Uaeen of Holland. Af
ter their retirement to Switzerland,
the principal tutor of the youth was a
m. .Lebos. 31. lx uxs being a stern
Republican, nud Louis being of an ir-
rej ressjble nature, his first convic
tions were those of Republicanism.
now short-lived they were, ana how
readily he could adapt himstlf to cir
cumstances, bis subsequent history
proves. For a time ho was at the
military academy of Thion, where he
made some progress in the science of
gunnery, but was not utstuiguished
for his brilliancy as a scholar.
HUB TO TH2 EMI'IBE.
The death of the Duke of Iteichstadt,
in 1832, left him the successor of Na-
loleon I., not by legitimate descent.
but bv the Imperial edicts of 1801 and
1805, which set aside the usual order
of descent and fixed the succession in
the fourth brother of Napoleon Lonis
instead of that of the elder brother,
Joseph. This was the beginning of
the ambitious career of Napoleon,
which ended only at Sedan. It fired
his soul with dreams of future power,
to tbe realization of which be ever af
terward directed his best energies
His Jleverirs Politique were written to
demonstrate the necessity of an Em
peror to the trim republican organiza
tion of r ranee. He afterward .ex
panded his work into the Idee Xarnh-
btonenmn, wherein tho plans of the
Emperor were extrolled and earnestly
commended to 1' ranee for adoption.
TAKEN PBISOXElt.
Not limiting himself to writing
books, he put himself in active com
munication with officers of the French
army, and in the early part of 1835
his design became evident, and, after
maturing his plans, he left Ahcrnberg
in June, 1830, for Baden-Baden. In
August he paid a secret visit lo Stras
bourg:, which he regarded as the most
vulnerable point for his attempt,
and. after securing promised co-oper
ation from fifteen of the officers of the
garrison, proceeded to Switzerland
while his adherents were perfecturg
the plot. The project, however, was
a miserable failure, and Louis was ta
ken prisoner, detained at Strasbourg
from October outn till .November utn
ard then conducte'd to Pans. His
life was spared on condition of his go-
mr to tbe . UniWd States. Ihis be
did. under protest, but soon returned
to Europe to find bis mother on her
death-bed in Switzerland. "
' : IN EXILE.,
In 1838, Lieut. Laity, one of Napo
leon s adherents, published with bis
sanction a favorable account of the at
tempt on Strasbourg, which was well
received in France. For this Laity
was sententenced to a five year s iin
prisonment and to pay a fine of five
thousand francs. These facts were
looked upon by the French, 'elemeh
as the commencement of a new out
break from Ahrenberg, and 'they ac
cordingly asked that. Louis be driven
from Switzerland. Some of. the can
tons being indisposed to thus trample
upon the rights of one who had made
himself a citizen of tbe country, France
sent an army to the frontier to sup
port her demands, if necessary, by
force. Louis quitted the country and
took refuge , in England, where , he
planned, bis , , , :
; . . - second, attempt:
To gain the throne of France On
the 10th of August, 1840,. be landed
near Boulogne, at the head of a nartv
of fifty-five adherents, including Count
Montholon and General Voisin. But
one man. w the garrison responded
to bin fliunmons to join hn Htandard,
and after some maneuvering about the
town ho was captured while trying to
Oficape to his steamer. In October he
was put upon his trial before one hun
dred and fifty of the peers of France,
many of whom wore indebted to his
uncle for their ranks aim titles.
CONVICTION.
Mr. Berryer, the great French ad-
ocate, appeared as counsel for Louis,
aud made a clever but vain defense.
ie .was sentenced to perpetual im
prisonment, and his adherents for va
rious terms ranging from five to twen
ty years. He was shortly afterward
conveyed to the citadel, of Ham, where
he spent six yours of his eventful
life. On the 25th of May, 1845, he
made his
ESCAPE
rom Ham in disguise, and thus de
ceiving the vigilance of the guards, be
crossed the frontier into Belgium, aud
from thence went to England, where
ie resided until the Paris revolution
of 1848, aud tho downfall of Louis
'hillippo. lie was at once elected a
Representative in the National Assem
bly, and soon afterward
PHIXCE PKESIDEST
Of tho French republic, by an over
whelming vote. At this period he
ladadiflieult game to play, htle
embracing every opportunity to re
vive the most agreeable and glorious
recollections of his uncle's rule, it was
necessary for him to make the most
earnest protestations of devotion to
tepubbcau principles and the most
zealous disavowal of all ambitious de
signs.
THE EMPIUE.
But this deception lasted scarcely
three years, and on December 2, 1851,
mving imprisoned every statesman in
'arts from whom be would bo likely
to encounter opjiosition, dissolved the
Assembly, aud seized tho most distin
guished Generals who were suspected
of disaffection, he proclaimed himself
Dictator. He then offered himself to
the people as a candidate for the of
fice of President for theteimof ten
years, and tolerating no opponent,
was, of course, triumphantly elected
A constitution conferring upon bun
absolute sovereign power was pro
claimed, and under it be ruled for one
year.
I ben he appealed to the people
again, and in response tho Empire was
restored, with himself upon thej
throne, by such a majority as made
tho vote practically unanimous. The
goal at last reached, and the second
Empire was proclaimed on December
2, 1852, the anuiversary of the coup
d'etat, and Charles Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte awi-nded the throne as
"Napoleon III., Emperor of the
French, by the grace of (sod and the
will of the French jieople." The rec
ognition of his imperial station was
gradually made by the leading Pow
ers of Europe,. Great Britain taking
tbe lead, and for nearly eighteen years
he has reigned without interruption
from within or without.
MAUEIAGK.
On the 20th of 'January, 1853, lie
married Eugene Mario do Guzman,
Countess de Teba, a scion of an old
noble family of Spain. In company
with her he aid a visit to England in
April, 1855, being received with gen
eral favor by both the court and the
people, ami made a Knight of the
Garter by the Queen. On March ICth,
lHoO, the Empress gave birth to a boy,
known as tbe Prince Imperial, and
bearing- the special cosrnoinen of Na-
p61cou Eugene Louis Jean Joseph.
The birth of this "blessed baby" was
the occasion of great rejoicing through
out France.
SUBSEQUENT HI STOUT.
In 1854 he embarked in the war
against uussia, wmcir was waged in
alliance with England, Sardinia and
Turkey, and terminated successfully
by the fall of Sfcbastopol in 185G. On
England fell tho hardest part of the
fichtinir. while France reaned the
greater share of the glory and profits
resulting from it. larly in IojS an
attempt was made upon the Emperor's
life by one Orsini, who had concocted
his plans in England, in connection
with Dr. Bernard, a Frenchman resid
ing in London. Lord Palmerston
therefore attempted to , amend the
English criminal code, so that it would
apply effectively to such conspiracies,
and defeat in 1'arliament led to tem
porary suspension of the cordial rela
tions between the two countries. But
these were soon rest ored, although
Dr. Bernard was acquitted by an Eng
lish jury. In 1859-'60, the Emperor
espoused the cause of Victor Emanuel
against Austria,' and in peison led an
army to his assistance, defeating the
enemy on several decisive fields, and
terminating the war by the victory of
Solferino, J une 24, 1800. Uy the
peace of Villa France, July 11th, Aus-
tna ceded Eombardy to Victor Eman
uel; whose territory was further in
creased , by the annexation : 6f the
duchies, Napoleon being recompensed
by tbe cession of Savoy and some neu
tral Swiss territory to France. -
' ' " THE MEXICAN FIASCO.' ' 1 '
In 18C1 he became a party with Eng
land and Spain in the assult upon the
Mexican Bepublic. When his allies
discovered that he had ulterior objects
in view, and was intent upon some
thing more than the mere ; vindication
of the rights of foreigners, they aban
doned hiro.; but Napoleon caused his
troops to regain, and persisted in an
effort at letting up the Archdude Max
imilian of , Austria as Emperor. "The
whole project was a wretched failuro,
not less for France than; for Maximil
ian, and great dissatisfaction was ex
pressed at home because of the Em
peror's interference. Finally he aban-
mum
"' ' ; s..! ' - ', - , ' : - .'
doned Mexico, leaving the unfortunate
Archduke to his fate, in answer to the
repeated protests of the Government
of the United States, the lost detach
ment of the French troop evacuating
the country early in 18G7. - '
LITERARY LA DOBS.
Once after his ascent of the throne
the Emperor returned to his literary
labors, publishing in 18G5 the first
volume of an elaborate work entitled
"Histoire de Jules Ctesar." . The lit
erary and historical merits of the work
were unquestioned, as its impenal au
thor enjoyed unusual facilities in its
preparation. It was printed at the
Imperial Printing Office, and the pre
face bote the date of March 20, 18(52.
English and French editions of it were
soon brought out both in this country
and England.
TUB LATEST PEIUOD
Of the reign of Louis Napoleon, Em
peror of tbe French, has been stormy
indeed. The opposition to tbe Em
pire and Napoleon dynasty has steadi
iy gained strength, and threatened to
soon establish a republic in i ranee.
ltocbefort and other audacious jour
nalists lampooned the "son of his un
cle, and incited the lleds of I'ans to
once more arouse. . The vote polled
by the opposition in May, 1809, show
ed such an alarming increase that
Napoleon at once became alarmed,
and proclaimed in the tmutlua con$ull-
um of September certain reforms, in
answer to the demands of the people
Still further warned by the boldness
of tbe Liberal party in the Corps Leg-
lslatiff, be finally professed to aban
don tbe system of personal govern
ment and an irresponsible Ministry,
which had been inaugurated by the
coup d' tial in 1851, and on the 2nd of
January of the present year. Emile
Olbvier, tbe leader of tbe more mod
erate Liberals, was called to tbe head
of tbe Ministry; but this concession
did not serve to satisfy the people, and
in the disturbances which followed
tbe arrest and imprisonment of Iloche-
fort, tbe editor of La JIarculaute. in
January last, a formidable uprising in
I'ans was only averted by the pres
ence of a veteian army of 100,000.
When ltocbefort was safely disposed
of for six months, another appeal to
the people was made, and the plebis-
t ituin of May, which received about
7,350,OUO affirmatives to about 1,550,
000 negative votes nominally ratified
the so-called reforms m the constitu
tion which had been inaugurated by
the Emperor at various times.

How Good Farmers Save Money.
They take good newspapers and read
them.
They keep account of farm operations.
, They do not loavo their implements
scattered over tho farm, exposed to snowd
rain and heat.
They repair their tools and buildings
in a proper time, and do not suffer a three
fold expenditure of time and money.
They use their money judiciously, and
do not attend auction suleB to purchase all
kinds of trumpery because it is cheap.
They see that their fences are well re
paired, and their cattlo not grazing in
their meadows, or orcnarus or gram-
fields. .' ;.' .
They do pot ' refuse to make correct
experiments in a small way, of many new
things. ,- ,,-
1 hey plant their Iruit trees well, care
for them, and of course, get good crops,
lhey practice econcmy by giving
there stock good shelter during the win
ter ; also good, food, taking all that is un
sound, halt rotten, . mouldy, out. '
Lastly, they take their county papers
read tho ndvertisuients, know what is
going on, and frequently save money
by it. " ;vv: -:.. . 3-. .
Successful farming is made by atten
tion to little things. Tie farmer who
does his best, earns his money with best
appreciation; ana uses 11 wun oesi results,
Suuh men are the salt of tho earth. '

The bill composed chiefly of two
sections provides, in effect, in the first
section, that the indebtedness of the
city of Portland must never exceed in
the aggregate the sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars, and any debt
or jiauuity incurred in violation of tbis
section, whether by borrowing money,
loaning tbe credit of the city or otber-
wise, is nun ana void and of no effect.
but the city of Portland may incur an
additional indebtedness not exceed
ing three hundred thousand dollars in
manner and for the purpose following
that is to say if any person or persons
shall cause or procure the Willamette

incorporated under tbe laws of tbis
State by articles of incorporation filed
in tbe office of tbe Secretary of State.
me yiu day 01 July, lfcwo, or any oth
er Company to commence and con
struct their road or, ttack from and
within the limits of the city of Port
land, and if such person or persons
shall cause or procure said Railway
Company to locate, construct and es
tablish iU terminal depot on the west
side of the Willamette river and with
in tbe limits of said city as aforesaid,
then and upon those conditions said
city is authorized by and thorough its
Mayor and Common Council to pro
vide by ordinance for making and is
suing its seven per cent, gold coupon
bonds payable in twenty years for sum
of three hundred thousand dollars, the
interest thereon to be paid semi-annually.
That so soon and as often as five
miles of said road or track, commenc
ing at said terminal depot aforesaid,
and going westerly towards Forest
Grove, aud then southerly toward
McMinnville, is completed and con
structed, forty thousand dollars of
said bonds slndl become the property
of said person or persons, and shall be
delivered to them by the proper offi
cers 01 said city.
lhe second section authorizes the
city of Portland, in addition to other
taxes, to levy a special tax to pay the
interest on these bonds, and to pro
vide or raise the necessary funds by
special taxation, or otherwise, to pay
the principal sum of said bonds as the
same Bball become due.
In considering this bill, the first in
quiry should be is it consistent with
the spint and terms of out State Con
stitution? In Section 0 of Article 11 of that in.
strument, upon the subject of corpo
rations and internal improvements, we
have the following provision:
Sec. y. Ao county, city. town, or
other municipal corporation, by vote
of its citizen, or otherwise, shall be
come a stock-holder in any joint stock
company, corporation or association
whatever, or raise money for, or loan
its credit to, or in aid of, any such com
pany, corporation or association."
From this clause of the Constitution
we arrive at the conclusion that it was
the purpose of tho framers of that in
strument to erect a substantial barrier
in our fundamental law against all
connections of counties, cities and
towns, and other municipal corpora
tions in this State, with speculative
enterprises outside their own legiti
mate workings, lhey cannot become
stock-holders of any joint stock com
pany, corporation or association, nor
route' money for, nor loan their credit
to or in aid of any such company, cor
poration or association. These words
are plain and direct. Do they pro
hibit the enactment of such a law as
the one under consideration?
This bill provides that the city of
Portland shall raise money to the
amount 01 ouu.wu lor any person or
persons who Bbau cause or procure a
certain railway company, or any other
company, to moke their terminal - de
pot and begin the construction of their
road or track within the city of Port
land, and proeeed thence with, their
work in a given direction and to a
given distance. ' ; ' ,
The wording of the bill is peculiar
and circutious, and apparently framed
to avoid contact with this clause of
the Constitution; for it is claimed
that while the prohibition clearly ex
tends to joint stock companies, corpo
rations and associations, it does not
extend to "person or persons,' -1 fail
to pee the exception here claimed. A
corporation is a "person" in law, and
the joining of "persons" in an ' inter
est or enterprise constitutes an associ
ation;

I also, think that this hill in its,
framework and, purpose, to be against.
tbe spirit and tenor of the Constitu
tion. It proposes to raise money by
taxation for objects not therein con-
templated or authorized, and to yield
this bar would be to open one of the
most dangerous doors at which clash-,
ing interests and growing speculation
are now knocking. If a eity can oe.
thus placed under a bonded debt this.'
year, a county can ' be placed under-'
mortgage next - year, and. while the.
State may be saved from general debt,
by careful management it may be,
loaded down by the weight of local
liabilities. , . -
Section five of the article before.
cited provides that acts of the Legis-v
lative Assembly incorporating towns
and cities, shall restrict their powers
of taxation, borrowing money, con
tracting debts and loaning their credit.
At tbe present session of the legis
lative Assembly, an act has been pass-,
ed authorizing the city of Portland
for general and special purposes, to
extend its liabilities to half a xnillion
of dollars, including provision for city
gas and water works. To extend tho
privilege of contracting debts to the
sum of $800,000, not including inter- '
est thereon, in an incorporated city of
ten thousand inhabitants, I -do not be-,
lieve would be such a restriction upon
the contraction of debts as. was con-,
templated by the framers of the Con-.'
stitution.
This Bill is objectionable on another
ground. I believe that without refer
ence to constitutional limitations, this,
bill goes beyond the jkjw&jt of the
Legislature to impose a tax upon a
people. To make a tax legitimate it
must be for a private purpose. Taxa
tion f or,tbe benefit of an individual or.
a corporation upon considerations real
or speculative, can never be upheld.
Lpon this point I cannot better ex-

While I do not join in tbe harshness
