Anecdotes of Louis Napoleon.
Tbe anecdotes of his childhood are de
lightful, as showing his ingenuous
nature and the love he had for his father
and mother. On one occasion he had
been taxed with disrespectful behavior
to the .impress, and, as a punishment,
the Emperor degraded him in rank (he
was enrolled in tbe regiment of the
Guard as aoon as he was shortcoated,
and at this time was a corporal;) thus his
epauietiB were iuiu uuiue tot a lime, xnis
was a cause of great distress to the poor
lad, and his pride was terribly wounded.
Somehow or other the story got into the
newspapers. That day while walking
out in the Bois, he met dne of the officers
of the regiment; with crimson cheeks
and downcast eyes he first passed him,
then, suddenly summoning courage,
turned and addressed him thus: "Mon
sieur, perhaps you have heard what the
newspapers say of me, tbat I have been
degraded in the service because I was
disrespectful to my mother. However, I
assure you it is not true. I love her too
much to be disrespectful to her. Please,
monsieur, tell my comrades it is false!"
And the child burst into sobs, nor could
he be comforted until the officer
promised to justify him in the face of the
regiment.
His determination, which probably
was hereditary, was displayed very early
in life, and a funny incident may be
quoted to show this: Victor Emannel
had given him a lovely donkey, of which
he became very fond ; but the donkey
being strong-willed, like his master,
frequent conflicts for supremacy were
the result. One day the Prince conceived
the brilliant idea tbat be would like his
pet to march up-stairs, into the upper
rooms of the Tuileries. Naturally, the
quadruped objected; but his master in
sisted, and the customary battle ensued;
to no purpose, until le petit Prince
carried the day by summoning the
servants, some to place the donkey's fore
feet on the stairs, others the hind-feet,
and so they reached their destination.
He was exceedingly fond of drawing
a pursuit which the Emperor did not
favor, as being of too absorbing a nature
for one who had duties of so wide and
general a character; but his tendency
could not be suppressed, and vented
itself in various odd ways; one of them
being that to get him to submit to
tonsorial offices (of which he seems to
have had some dislike) he was allowed to
sketch while under the coiffeur's hands,
and exceedingly clever these scraps are
said to have been. In modeling he was
alss remarkably skillful. The Prince
Imperial was an early sufferer from
severe and painful maladies, having had
two very bad cases of abscess in the hip
joint, and an attack of measles, from
which he did not recover for a long time.
While yet yonng, he was made to
take his position in all court ceremonials,
and in fulfilling the duties of his rank
he was taught to derive satisfaction. At
all reviews, at the opening of the Cham
bers, he was invariably seen at his
father's side, and acknowledged the greet
mgs he received with undisguised pleas
ure. Every one conversant with the
court life of the Second Empire will re
member the share he took in the dram
atic representations which were a favor
ite amusement at the various residences
of the Emperor.
The careful blending of the physical
with the intellectual training of young
Lionis was admirable; and when, at nine
years of age, he left petticoat sway, the
choice of a male governor was made in a
very clever manner. The Emperor was
talking to General Frossard one day,
when the boy came to ask his father for
something; but as he had been disobe
dient to his mother the day previous, the
Emperor refused him, and told him to
leave the room. He resisted, and the
Emperor's efforts to remove him were
vain, which naturally verywnuch dis
pleased his Majesty, who hardly knew
what to do. The General, who had been
a silent looker-on, rose, and bowing to
the refractory young prince, said authori
tively, "What ! monseigneur. His Maj
esty orders you to leave the room, and
you refuse ? Prince, I have to request
you will obey at once and retire," and he
opened the door for him to pass out.
out. The child, surprised, looked him
full in the face, and seeing firmness and
determination there, demurred no longer,
kissed his father and disappeared. The
Emperor was so struck with the General's
victory that he at once confided to him
his son's education, and with the great
est success.
His first communion was a great event
in his life. It seemed to make a remark
able change in his character, and gave
to it that religious cast which was a dis
tinguishing feature during the rest of
his career. The Emperor wisely brought
him to face difficulties at an early stage
of hia life. On one occasion when he
had to distribute prizes at the Lycee
Charlemagne, a schoolboy omenta took
took place, of which he was indirectly
the cause. The Emperor treated the
matter lightly, shrugged his shoulders,
and merely remarked, "Louis must learn
to meet with opposition, and the sooner
perhaps the better." The visit of the
Empress and the Prince to Corsica in
1869, was a notable event, and afforded
him the liveliest pleasure. The whole
population of the different places they
visited, turned out to welcome them;
and at Ajaccio the crowd pressed them
so closely that the police had to make a
path for their feet. The young prince
was perfectly delighted with the ovation,
and constantly stopped to acknowledge
the greetings of the people, checking the
efforts of the police to keep the crowd
off by saying, "Let them them alone,
let them alone. Don't try to prevent
them. Remember they have a right to
tome. We all belong to one family!"
This speech naturally redoubled the
enthusiasm of the populace.

The Leadville Chronicle publishes an
account of the most marvellous discovery
yet made by mortal man, provided that
it is true, which is more than doubtful.
Two miners, while sinking a shaft near
Red Cliff, are represented to have found
a deep subterranean chamber without
apparent communication with the open
air. What they claim to have seen is
thus described:
The cave seemed at first empty, but as
their eyes gradually became accustomed
to the deep gloom, the men saw in the
further extremity a huge black object,
which, not without some trepidation,
they approached.. As they neared it,
to their unbounded amazement, they
made out the lines of some sort of
sailing craft. It was, as nearly as they
could judge about sixty feet long by
some thirty feet wide, and lay tilted at
an angle of about fifteen degrees over a
rough pile of stone. The body of the
craft was built of short lengths of some
dark and very porous wood, resembling
our black walnut if it could be imagined
with the grain pulled apart like a sponge
or a piece of bread, and made perfectly
square. Both ends (it was evidently in
tended for sailing either way), were
turned abruptly up like the toe of a
peaked Moorish slipper. The planking
was apparently double riveted on the
nails of extremely hard copper, only
slightly rust eaten, and with the heads
cut or hied m an octagonal shape, wmle
along the upper edge of the ship eleven
large rings of the same metal, and
evidently for the securing of rigging,
were counted. At the bottom edges of
the craft, and running its entire length,
were two keels some four and a half feet
deep and six inches thick, hung on
metalic hinges, and at the ends were fas
tened rough copper rods, extending up
ward and bent over so as to attach to two
masts rising from the upper edges, if
the cross of an inverted letter y be con
ceived to represent the deck lines, the two
stems are at about the angle and position
of the masts. These were upward of 20 feet
long; and, as evidence that a sail was at
one time stretched across, some ragged
remnants of what appeared to be cording
were found clinging to the inner edges.
The ends of the masts were secured in
pivots, and it was evident that in tacking
one could be moved forward and the
other back, thus bringing the sail at an
angle with the body of the ship an idea
which it might not be bad for our mod
ern navigators to emulate. This, it is
believed, also explains the copper rods
which moved the keels so as to recipro
cate the position of the masts. While the
whole ship was intact, the wood crum
bled like dust beneath tbe finger touch,
and fearful of trapfalls the two prospect
ors did not venture to explore the in
terior. Lying on the ground near by,
however, was discovered a gold instru
ment bearing a rude resemblance to the
sextant of the present day, and possibly
used to calculate the longitude. !No
trace of any writing was found save at
one end of the ship, -where about midway
on the bow of the ship, inclosed in a
medal ring, were 26 copper characters
riveted to the wood and bearing much re
semblance to the Chinese hieroglyphics
of the present day. No human remains
of any sort were found, although it is
possible that a search in the hold will re
peal something of this sort.
Without pushing their investigations
further, the two miners, lost in wonder
ment, retraced their steps to the upper
air, leaving the ghastly ship once more in
the gloom and silence.
By this time it had grown quite dark
above, and with that tacit understanding
existing among men who had seen that
which borders upon the supernatural,
they spoke but little between themselves
of the discovery, butsought rest by their
kindling camp fire. In the morning the
whole thing seemed so much like a dream
that they were seriously inclined to
regard it as some morbid phantasy, some
disordered vision of the brain alone,
having no substance in reality, and
eagerly, yet with a strange dread, they
descended the rope again. Assuring
themselves, by a short survey of the
facts they had learned the night before,
the prospectors hurriedly ascended the
shaft and spent the rest of the day in
concealing, as well as possible, the traces
of their excavation. This done, they
went to the cabin of a well-to-do miner
living some thirty miles down the gulch,
and to him first told their extraor
dinary story. This gentleman is per
fectly reliable, and, together with a
well known mining expert residing in
this city, has seen and examined the ship,
and will take steps to preserve the won
derful discovery to the world in all its
possibly great historical value. The
minute particulars as to locality are at
present withheld for a very obvious rea
son they would attract a horde of van
dal sight-seers who would soon destroy
the mouldering dust beyond hope of
restoration, and until the proper authori
ties can be sent for they will not be pub
lished. The discovery of the junk-like ship
with its unknown architecture, hermet
icaJly sealed in a cavern fifty feet below
the surface of the earth, gives scope to
indefinite speculation. The only possi
ble explanation seems, however, that
ages, or seons, perhaps, agone, a ves
sel bearing a crew of bold dis
coverers, tossed by the waves,
sought a harbor in a cave
within a cliff. The waves then receding
left it stranded there, and the great con
tinental divide, the awful upheavals and
convulsions of nature, which we know
so little of and can only blinkly specu
late pn, pressed the face of the earth to
gether and sealed it in a living grave.
"Will you' please pass the milk, Miss
Brown?" asked a young man of a fidgety
maid at the supper table. "Do you take
me for a waiter, sir?" she answered.
"Well," said he, "as no one has taken
you thus far, and you've waited so very
long, I should think you were one."
It is said that Ohio wives do their own

Hare Girls Got Any Souls 2
We do not know as there is any law to
compel girls to act differently about
horseback riding, but sometimes it seems
as though they took advantage of their
young male escorts. It is a well known
fact that a girl will not ride on horse
back in public unless she has become an
accomplished horsewoman. She goes on
the back streets until she has learned to
sit a horse beautifully, and has got nerve
enough to snatch the under jaw off a
horse that tries to do what she don't
want him to. And when she has got un
limited confidence in herself, then she
will ride anywhere, and don't care who
sees her, and she looks so independent
and wide awake, and jolly, tbat you can
not help admiring her, though you are
half blind. On the contrary, the aver
age young man thinks he is a horse
man, whether he has been on a horse
since he rode old "Doll" to plow corn
when he was ten years old or not. And
the girls, bless them, often accept the
escort of these boys who think they
can ride, seemingly just to see the starch
taken out of tbem. A few weeks ago a
party was riding up the Whitewish bay
road on horseback at a good round gal
lop. There was a girl and a young man.
The girl sat on her horse like a queen,
and she seemed to let her charger out
just enough to keep a neck ahead of the
young man. And he was bound to keep
up if it killed him. He sat on his
horse like a clothespin, and the horse
was a hard, rider. The poor young man
looked as though he wished he was dead.
Every time his horse's forefeet ctine
down on the ground it did seem as
though the young man's legs were
longer, and that he would have to let out
his stirrup straps. He held the reins in
his right hand, held on to the pommel of
the saddle with his left hand, to keep
from breaking in .. two, . his trowsers
worked up to his knees, leaving his
drawer tied around bis ankles with
strings, and his low shoes almost
dropped off. The strings of one draw
ers leg came untied and the bare leg
began to show, and he looked implor
ingly in the ear of the girl ahead of him
as much as to say, " For heaven's
sake, hold up a little." But she
was just enjoying herself, and did not
seem to realize that she was wearing out
a young man that would be an ornament
to society anywhere except on a hard
riding horse. On they went, until the
young man perspired like a water cooler,
while she was cool as zinc, and appar
ently as unconscious of the torture she
was inflicting on her escort as possible,
though the twinkle in her eye said as
plainly as could be, "This young man
has been telling me for over a year that
he was a splendid horseman, and I am
going to make him take it back if I have
to carry him home in a market basket!"
His necktie comes untied, his watch
jumps out of his pocket and hangs dang
ling on the saddle, his eyes become
"sot," and fearing that bis clothes will
all be shook off, he gasps, "Elizabeth
for God's sake hold on and let me
take up a collection of myself!"
She pulls up her charger with her little
finger, and looks at her escort as though
he was interferinsr with her enjoyment by
stopping, and he smiles as though he
was sea sick and says it is "such fun
riding a horse," while he tries surrep
titiously to get his trowsers to go down
by his shoes. Peck s Sun.
Organized Emigration. One of Eng
land's leading men, the Hon. Thomas
Hughes of London, has given practical
attention to this subject, having accepted
a position as superintendent of an ex
tensive organization of New England
capitalists whosepurpose is to plant a
large colony upon a suitable and ample
tract of land in East Tennessee, in which
region there is an abundance of rich soil,
and whose inhabitants enjoy one of the
finest climates known in the world. We
may properly say that organized emigra
tion is the only true method for peopling
new territory. Persons in the Eastern
or Central States should not go by
families and isolate themselves and
shut themselves off from all
pleasant social privileges and enjoy
ments, but should band together by
hundreds, selecting of the right sort as
their neW companions and neighbors,
such as relatives and personal friends
and then purchase large tracts at prices
greatly reduced from tliose a single in
dividual would be forced to pay for a
single tract, and divide tbe tract among
the colonists according to the nvestment
of each. Then a village could be built
at once, from which avenues lined with
farms might radiate in all directions,
and the church, the school house, shops,
etc., be erected at once. Springfield

Marbled Beef. Americans have sue
ceeded in producing beef sufficiently fat
to meet the demands of any country.
Unfortunately, however, for the quality
of the beef, the fat and lean are not well
distributed. The fat is in huge masses
and is useless as human food. Speci
mens of finely marbled beef are rarely
found in this country. Undoubtedly
our method of feeding beef cattle causes
the absence of "the streak of fat and
streak of lean" that are desirable. Our
animals are for the most part fattened on
corn, which produces a large amount of
hard tallow that is deposited in masses
outside the flesh. The best marble beef
is produced by cattle that feed on rich,
tender grasses. Tffe best beef known
in a London market comes from
the mountainous regions of Scotland
and Ireland, where the cattle have
little or no grain. It was at one time
thought that the breed of the cattle
raised in these localities was tbe cause
of the marbled appearance and the prime
flavor of the meat. It seems now to be
settled that the superiority of this beef
is due to the peculiar feed of the animals.
Corn produces an abundance of fat, but
it is not fat of the right kind and it is
not deposited in the right places. It is
likely that we have made too much use
of corn in the production, not only of
pork, but of beef and mutton. St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
