From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Xottia Napoleon.

Every age ha* its distinguished and remark ble men, who«e deed* and characters at once arrest the attention of even the most Indifferent student in the great chronicle of human events. Whatever else may be said of the individual whose name stands at the head of this article, there can be no doubt that he is destined to occupy considerable of a place in the annals of our day and generation, and that his character will be attentively studied by those who come alter us. A remarkable and extraordinary man he certainly is,and we know now of one upon the po lilioal stage who is more likely to live in the future. His fortune has been extremely singular and eventful, and can not fail to give him an unenviable immortality. The part he has played in the recent French revolution has been a very important one, and will very sensibly affect the future destiny of Prance though in what manner, can not now be predicted, but we have strong hopes that it will, iti the end forward the wishes of the friends of freedom, all over the world.

He linn at any rate struck a death blow to the ^principle uf legitimacy in Europe, fur his claim to the thoue of France has been recognized by all of the great despoticat powers of th$ continent, though it is founded upon the popular will in opposition to the right of hereditary decent, which has so long been the very basis of Monarchy. In acknowledging Louis Napoleon an Kmperor of the French, the great continental sover ?ig!ia havo expressly admitted the right of the people to choose theirown ruleri, which they have hitht no denied. Tim superstitious belief which thev have inculcated anioiig their subjects that Monacs resigned by Divine nppoiulmeut. and that to rebel agniu«K'od. will be very much shaken by this recognition ofLouis Napoleon as one of the anointed sovereigns of Kurope. The abilities of no man have been more underrated thun those of the present Kmperor of the French. It WHS long the fashion in this cnuiitjy and in Knglund to iloory him as a man of feeble intellect, who had Mottling to Minluii) liiin but hi* name but the progress of event* hug shown that no opinion could bo more erroneous. lie has given the most striking evidences of cnp'toiiy and talent iti the maimer in whigii lie. a poor friendless xile, has evercome every obstacle that. impeded hi* prog rest to Id* present position and influence, as the Imperial head of the French Jovornment.

The very prestige of a mighty name which he ei »yed wns attended with this disiu!vuiitnge that it was calculated to pro voke comparisons witli J»i-« world renowned uncle, whom he could not be expected to i-qiml. Against him has be»n pitted the eldest men and the most mighty intellects of Frmice—men of growl experience in political iutriguo, who had been in a hall dxm revolutions, and who knew all the springs which dictated the movements of the diif eretil parties in that country, and yet they' have been overthrown in the strugnlfi. An opposition to him thqt embraced all the renewned statesmen ami skilful politicians at well as the ablest generals in the sirvioe, he scattered to tho winds, as it were, in one night, anticipating their deeplaid and subtle combination by a plot that was »s licitous in its inception as it was perfect in its execution. When he assumed the reins ol Government, anarchy prevaded the oouniry— the streets of Paris had but a few months before been slippery with the blood of its citixena, shot down in a desperate contest by the soldiery under Cavaignao—its fluanccs were in a deplorable condition—-trade and manufactures ware iti a languishing state—the various political parties were exceedingly embittered towards each other, and were almost in open hostility—the Coostution had but recently beon adopted, and it seemed unlikely that any Government, judging from the past, would be able to maintain itself for any length of time.

Had Louis Napoleon been the weak man he hid been represented, he would inevitably have succumbed to the unfavorable oircumstanoee that surrounded him, and would have been wrecked upon the revolutionary breakers that were so threatninc upon every side. But so skillfully did he steer the ship of state, that when a revolution did occur, was only to pave his way to the imperial throne, and thus crown with •uoceas the tortuous and dishonest policy whioh he had long pursued, with a view to the attainment of that end. From the time he was inaugurated President of tho Frenoh Republic, it was plain to those observers who watohed hi* course the most closely that he was aiming to restore the imperial dynasty of his uncle, although he for along time made the moat earnest protestations that such was not his intention* Indeed, tbefe wm* never a man who, by his conduct, proved that he had so little regard for his plighted word and oath, when they were obstacles to the aoeom^ishment ofhis designs, as the rweinnt Emperor of France, who has Herally made his own way to the throne by falsehood and deoeptton. He has seemed to regard all professions as but m**** to further the auooosa ol his loof-oharisbed designs, and has used them as weapons of warfare against his opponent*.

Without the least hesitancy heaworealWftianoe and fealt? to a Constitution whioh he had fully made up h» mind to destroy at the first favorable opportunity, and swore to it, too, with a readiacs and facility that surprised those who had the loast confidence in his latMpity. If he ha» no! likt Richard ill., of Ettalend, waded to the throne in a »ee of bk««* he has employed as much deception and chicanery as that infamous usurper.

Doe of the moat striking trait* his character ie tho protouti mt—y with whioh he envelope hie |w«|e«fct,-*nd itfi*tt« (nirab)e aocompanicsent to hi* dievtmuialion, Hia Ctbinet Ministers, and even his

most intimate friends, know little or nothing of his plans and purposes. It is said that the important step which he took, upon the occasion of his celebrated "coup d'etat." which annihilated his enemies and made him supreme master of France, was done without consultation with anybody except those inferior agents to whom be entrusted its military execution. Everybody else was surprised and astonished by the extraordinary proceeding—his friends and enemies alike. He has also a most admirable knowled of French character, and understands the springs by which its favor can be secured. No one could have turned their passion for millitary glory and their veneration for the memory of his immortal uncle to more account than he has, and the skillful use he has made of them has been really astonishing.

He has succeeded in identifying himself in the national mind with the memory of .Marengo, AusterSitz and Jena, and other fields of historic fame, at the mention of which every true Frenchman heart beats with redoubled quickness. In all his proclamations and addresses there will be found expressions reviving the glorious reminiscences of the Empire, when the Grand Army of France was the terror of Europe, and marohed into all its principal Capitals. Another striking feature in the life of Louis Napoleon is his imitation of the exploits and policy of his uncle—executed, too, with exceeding ability. To be great in imitation« is only inferior to the greatness of original talent, and but few excel in it, for copyists are generally tame and feeble but not so with Louis Napoleon. His coup d'etat was a political movement, very similar to that of his uncle's 18th Brumaire, but it was an improvement upon it in every respect, and did not begin to come as near miscarriage as the former. He chose one of the mo9t glorious days in* the history of the great Napoleon to carry it into execution, viz: the 2d of December, the anniversary of his coronation, and also of the battle of Austerlitz—a day forever enahrined in the hearts of the French people. In other respects, he

By turns a military student and an author-— an Italian revolutionary insurgent, and then an exile in America—a prisoner for life under Louis Philippe in the fortress of Ham, an then a volunteer constable iu England to put down the Chartist movement-—a strange medley of circumstances, that indicate the unsettled character of his life and opinions. His two attempts to obtain the throne of France when it was occupied by Louis Philippe showod how exceedingly reckless and daring he was in the pursuit of his ohjeot. and how iittlo he seemed to calculate the obstacles which were in the way of the accomplishment of his designs-—for 'lo'sej{

never were enterprises so perfectly wild and visionary as his expeditions to Strasburg and Boulogne in 1836 and 1842.

IIis romantic escape, in the disguise of a workman, from the impregnable fortress of Ham, in 1846, was another very singular but fortunate episode in his oareer, and was the turning point in his fortunes.

Interesting Anecdote.

"Among those/ be observed, "who found a part of the gentlemen during the Revolutionary struggle, was a poor widow, who, having burned her husband, was lefl in poverty, with the task upon her hands of raising three sons. Of these to eldest, ere long, fell in the cause of their country, and she struggled on with the youngest as best she could. After the fall of Christondon and the disastrous defeat of Col. Buford. of Virginia, by Tarleton, permission was given to some four or five American females to carry necessaries and provisions and administer some relief to the prisoners confin ed on board the prisonship and in the jails of Charleston. This widow was one of the volunteers on this errand of mercy. She was admitted within the city, end braving the horrors of pestilence, employed herself to the extent of her humble means in alleviating the deplorable sufferings of her countrymen. She knew what she had to encounter before she went, but notwithstand ing, went bravely on. Her message of hu msnity having been fulfilled^he left Charles ton on her return but, alas! her exposure to the pestilential atmosphere she had been obliged to breathe had planted in her system the seeds of fatal disease, and ere she reached her home, she sank under an attack of prison fevor, a brave martyr to the humanity and patriotism. That dying moth er, who now rests in an unknown grave thus left her only son, the sole survivor of his family, to the world's charity: but little did she dream, as death closed her eyes, the future of thai orphan boy. That son became President of this free Republic, for that widow was the mother of Andrew Jackson.'

AN INCIDET.—At the recent burning of the Louisville Hotel, the coolest incident look place during the height of the fire, and when all thought the entire building would be laid in ashes. It occurred between Mr. Moore, clerk at the hotel, and one of the boarders. The latter, carpet bag in hand, descended from the third story, which was

True lis Preaching.

The Troy Whig gives the following definition of a mean man: 'A mean man may be said to be he who sponges his reading of newspapers. You will generally find him at the hotels, making free use of their papers,to the idconvenience of guests, lfe never patronizes a reading room, but now and then begs a privilege of going in 'just for a minute,' to see a particular paper, which perhaps he clips a piece from, lie visits counting rooms also, and is regular to an extraordinary degree in all these visits and expresses deep regrets at the failures of the mails. He is always too poor to take a paper himself, but wonders why others do not take more. He begs papers a few days old, and is none too

California.

Mr. Bowman, formerly a young lawyer of St. Louis, but now a resident of California, writes as follows to the St. Louis Republican:

WHO OUGHT NOT TO COME TO CALIFORNIA. If you are a farmer, and have a good home paid for, with a reasonable prospect of a comfortable support for yourself and family; if you have good schools, churches, and those usual appliances of good neighborhoods where life is rendered not only comfortable, but happy, and if, withal, you have a contented mind, and can be satisfied to 'let well enough alone,' stay there, and don't torment yourself with calculations and thoughts about selling out and going to California. To such a man it won't pay.— But if you do come, don't once think of making the journey, leaving your family behind.

You may perhaps make a trip with more ease, and less expense, but on your arrival here you will feel lost and unsettled, and after spending a few weeks or months, will either go back to your family, by which time and money are lost, or you will write for them to come on as best they can, which no consideration but the sternest necesssity [sic] ought ever to influence a man to do. If you could hear the daily groans of men in this country who were so short-sighted as to come without their families, you would not, I am sure, try such an experiment.

If you are a young man without capital and cannot dig, by all means stay at home. It is the poorest country for genteel poverty in the world. To all minister's sons who have no means or friends to live on, to all young graduates who expect to employ their talents and education as means of acquiring wealth, or even support to all merchant's clerks, scriveners and genteel-nice-young men-about-town, to all half read-lawyers and prosy ministers, who have no aptitude for hard work, or appetite for hard feed, this is no country for you.

WHO OUGHT IO COME TO CALIFORNIA.— Farmers, especially western farmers who know how it goes to settle a new country— farmers who have boys and girls to help carry on business, to all such the country holds out the surest prospects of prosperity and wealth. All mechanics of the useful kind and all laborers, men and women of some refinement, who wish to uncivilize themselves, who want to get away from the sound of church bells, away from the suppers at the 'Tobacco warehouse,' and from sewing societies, and the like for the benefit of parsons in country villages, who want to hear thunder 'as is thunder,' to play with the lightening, to sleep in wet blankets to travel over deserts, to ford rivers, to shoot antelopes and chase buffaloes; to climb mountains, and learn to eat bacon and beans with a relish, let all such come to California by way of the plains and if they can dig in the mines, quarry stone, make brick, cook, wash, bake, iron, chop run a sawmill, a dray or a hand-cart they are on the sure road to affluence.

There is another class of persons to whom the journey overland, and the country, hold out strong inducements. It is to all nice persons troubled with dyspepsia, gout, ennui, laziness, or who have acquired a love of romance by too much novel reading; to persons dissatisfied with everybody and evrything; eternal grumblers, who feel that they ought to have been consulted when the world was made—to all such it is recommended that they travel to California overland with ox teams—and take the first steamer back to the states. It is a certain cure. -----

A Cow-hiding Affair.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Clipper, in one ofhis late letters narrates the following:—

A young clerk the other day, in one of the large fancy establishments in this city where is sold ladies' ready made clothing, very unceremoniously placed his hand in a lady's bosom on whom he was adjusting a Parisian cloak. The lady left and related the circumstance to her husband, who im-

mediately repaired to the store and asked the clerk to step out a moment, which he did. The gentleman then told bitn very briefly who he was, and went to work and gave him (the clerk) an excellent cow-hi-ding the proprietor of the store ran out, but, afier having been told the oause of the attack, hastily retreated. In a short time, and before the gentleman had got through with 'clokey,' the owner again made his appearance, and took part with his employee. The gendeman thereupon 'walked' into him and made the for fly. Finally, the master and man having beat a retreat, the injured gentleman threw his weapon into the street and walked off with a smiling face, amid the laughter of hia friends.

Important Decision*

The Cayuga Lodge case. I. O. O. F., which has for some time been pending in the Supreme Court, on demurrer, has been decided in favor of the pleintiils, on all the points involved in the issue. The questions at issue were various, yet we understand that the principal one was, whether the Ccurts will recognize and enforce the trust ores ted by the Constitution of the Order, or in other words, whether the articles of the Association are reeognizablj and enforceable by the judiciary. We understand that the decision of the Court sustained the position assumed by Cayuga Lodge, and overrules the demurrers interposed in behalf of the members who withhold the funds contributed for the objects of benevolence and charity. It is, therefore, an im portant decision, not only to the order of Odd Fellows, but to the order of Sons of Temperance, Free Masons, Martha Washington, and other charitable Societies which are not incorporated. It recognizes their Constitutions, and maintains that the Courts will enforce the trusts they create.—Albany Register. Temperance and the Bloomler Costume.

The great Woman's Temperance Convention was held at the Melodeon in New York on the 7th inst. The splendid hall was crowded. Speeches were made by Mrs. L. N, Fowler, Mrs. Amelia Bloomer, Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, Rev. Miss Antoinette L. Brown, Horace Greeley, and Dr. Samuel Townsend, of sarsaparilla memory. Mrs. Bloomer and Mrs. Anthony were dressed in the Bioomer costume, which is thus describ sd in the New York Tribune:

Mrs. Bloomer and Mrs fcnthony were the only ones of the party attired in the Bloomer costume. Mrs. Bloomer was attired in a dark brown changeable tunic or kilt, descending just below the knee, the skirt of whioh was trimmed with rows of black velver. The pantaloons were of the same texture, and trimed in the same style. She wore gaiters. Her head dress was cherry and black.

Her dress had an open oorsage, with bands of velvet over white ohemisette, in which was a diamond stud & pins. She wore flowing sieves, i^ht undersleeves. and black lace mitts. Her whole attire was rich, but plain in appearance.

Mrs. Anthony was dressed in the same costume but plainer. Her dress was longer skirt than that of Mrs. Bloomer. It was of black brocade silk, with pants of the same. The trimming was a simple white collar and cufTs, aud a gold chain. Her hair was cut short in thd neck and curled in front.

Lazr Joe Harvey.

In the pleasant and romantic village of C———, in which the lot of the writer of the following veracious anecdote was cast for some mouths, there resides, or did reside, a person who delighted in the name of Joe Harvey. If Joe had any faults they were drunkenness and l&zme*s, but more particularly the latter as his t^il disinclination to any exertion frequently restrained him from procuring those beverages which delighted his soul.

During fine weather Joe was to be seen either hanging about the village tavern, or sleeping under some tree around which he would diurniallv revolve to protect himself from the rays of the sun as it veiled a cross the heavens. In winter ho Wouhl take refuge in the poorhoust! and cause the county to support its most reckless inhafe itant, until the return of spring made his leafy couches agRin available.

Upon one occasion, Joe having partaken freely of mine host's good whisky, had betaken himself to his customary tree, and was in a few minutes in a heavy sleep. Now it happened that the spirit of misohef, after hovering awhile over had lighted in the bar room before alluded to, and had taken particular lodgings in the brain of.Major one of the live liest of the lively. Tho Mijor seeing Joe snoring she trgmine fagi," proposed to his friends that they should take and bury him as he was of no further use to himself, his family, or any one else—but o|j the contrary a tax to every one.

The suggestion was immediately adopted and as immediately acted on. To go to the undertaker's, procure a ooffin, aud put in the unconsoious body of their victim was but the work of an instant: and then as newspapers say, the mournful cortege proceeded.

On the way they were met by a neighboring wealthy farmer, who asked whom they were about burying. •Joe Harvey,'said tho Major. •Why, is old Joe dead at last?' 'No he is not dead, but we are going to bury him, to put him out of the way before winter acts in.'

Oh,' said the farmor, 'don't do that, let him go a little longer, and I will give him enough corn to keep him until spring.'
