THE FRENCH IMPERIAL FAMILY.
Gossip about Napole?n, Eugenic ?nd the
Prtnee Imperial-Their Present Per?
sons1! Appe? rm nee.
The Paris correspondent of the Chicago Tri?
bune writes :
The Emperor, Empress and Prince Imperial,
now that the weather is fine, drive out nearly
every day along the Champs Elysees and in
the Bois. Familiar as their appearance s to
the public, the streets are always lined wheo
it is k iown they are to pa-s.
The Prince is an intelligent and interesting
looking little fellow, with an expression of sad?
ness in his face that may be the harald of bis
coming doom. He is in better health thatr?ie
has been, bot is still suffering from bodily in?
firmities. His mother dotes on bim. Oae can
see her heart is centred in her only son, for
her eyes are always on him.
Louis Napoleon may be dying of the forty or
fifty mortal diseases with whiob the newspa?
pers are constantly supplying him: but, judg?
ing by bis appearance, they don't hurt him
much. He is verv common-place in semblance;
his eye dull and his face perfectly impassive.
He might well be mistaken for a Hebrew
clothes-dealer of long experience, who bavin?
turned his attention to governing a great cour: -
try, had resolved to matte bis intentions in?
scrutable. He reminds yon of,one of Cham's
caricatures, with his broad shoulders and great
body, and his short, little legs that seems in?
ca p*bio of supporting the weight that has been
so unnaturally thrust upon thom. I do not
believe he is unpopular with the Fioiioh peo
' ' pie, who are hound to have a certain amount of
Briitioal discontent whether a Napoleon or a
ero reigns over them. Louie may be a su?
preme egotist, but he loves France; bas oap
tainly done muob for his country and for Parn.
He has made this the most attractive city in
world, de amuses the people and has added
to tbe glory of the nation. What mora do
Frenchmen need; what more will they ask ?
Eugenie is showing the traces of years-it
may be of sorrow-and she is repairing them
by artificial means. Sbe is not so pretty aa
abe has been, but ehe is very elegant and
i distingue in ber manner and entourage. Her face
sometimes seems insipid, but it] guts up, wnea
*be is moved, as it her heart bad canent fire.
Her mouth and chin are beautiful, and in her
deep eye are unfathomable emotions. She hap
tragedy and comedy in her nature, and is ca?
pable of heroic things, I am confident. She
will do them, I believe, if the occasion ?ornes
to her, and live in the future his:orv ot France
with Joan d'Arc, Charlotte Coruay. and
Madime Boland. Eugenie is muo.i loved by
the people, though the soandal is Billi kept np
that her husband is not the father of hex child.
They may like ber all the better for that possi?
bility. They would be moat unjust not to for
g ve in her what tbev are ftflteed to condone
?icmsolvop. She ia much tiered from what
s'ie was. She bas gone tbrongh tba three
stages ot French womanhood-gallantry,
learning and devotion. Aa the Connu BB de
Teba, she was decidedly fast. After mariage,
she grew to be a ban olen, though little was
said of it. Now she i s extremely religious, and
daily becoming more so.
HEALTH or NEW YOBK.-There wera six hun?
dred and forty-three deaths in New York last

whether lt was cholers morbu? or of thc Asiatic
type. It ia no secret that a ?rrea? manv sud?
den (?oaths have occurred within the law days
Eis i from complaint? strongly resembling tne
tier, and to these the largely increased mor?
tality officially announced is by many parsons
attributed. If the Board of Health wonld ro*
tura.to tba former practice of publishing the
dises aas, aa well aa the total number of deaths,
the public mind, tn oases of this kind, would
be lesa anxious than it is when left, a? now, to
grope in the dark.

Hie London Te loin apb says:
Tho purchase system is enwoven-shall we
beautifully say lile a golden tbread?-with
many British institutions. For- the loyal
luxury of solving his sover?ign, ensign, lieu?

au English gentium m a?su hus to pay certain
surns, regu a?ed by the Horse Guards, and ab
n"certain sum ruled bv the stat*Vwf the com?
missi m m rket, where swords are sold to the
highest bidder, and "Take, then, the sabre,"
is her Majesty's spirit-stirring address to the
buyer who has roost money in his pur e.
Then we all know that there is a tariff for
seats ia the Boase of Commons; some
boroughs "jule high," others are ' firm," while
parch n sable.
* * * But of ail kinds ot' British purchase
none must seem so strango to a foreign ob?
server as the sale of advowaons in tho English
Church. Centuries have elapsed since the
Apostles were sent forth to pi each, and the
early ideal of the Christian priest and mission?
ary has been often travestied, sometimes terri?
bly, sometimes coarsely, hy wicked or woildly
men. Nevertheless, in all clim ches the cid
standard is avowed. . People do still consider
that a minister of religion is a man tbat holds
himsolf commissioned by Divine authority
to preach the Gospel and administer the
rites of tho Christian Church. Face to lace
with this still potent belief, we luve the
exroordinary fact that tho sacred right is
openly offered for sale ; that the greatest pub?
lican and sinner lu the City of London may buy
tho next right of presentation to a living, and
may exercise the power of appointment. His
money may have been made in any ot the vile
ways within the wide boundary of our loose,
elastic law; but the gold does not smell, ano
he purchases the right of placing at one of
God's altars any creature of his own-perhaps
some clerical companion ot his festive boara,
perhaps some silly or iunately vicious relative
of bis bouse. But, independently of this fre?
quently deplorable result, the open sale is
surely amont? the grossest scandals of our day.
The aotioneer endeavors to show off the mul
tifaxious "attractions" of the living, and those
1 attractions1 are the very reverse of such as
wonld be supposed to influence a zealous or a
religious man. We are told that the souls to
be saved are few, that the "duties are light,"
? hat the "society" and even the "hunting" is
good. The "rectory and vicarage of Wea tho?
rough, with that of Dry Doddmgton," were
thus praised at an auction mart on Tuesday
last; but the biddings were elaok. Intending
purchasers were told that one hundred poonda
sterling a year would pay a curate to discharge
the duties, leaving six hundred pound a year
of surplus for the rector; while tue present rec?
tor was seventy-three, and therefore must soon
die; still the bidders paused, and the -'prop ar?
ty" was withdiawn. Thea? shameful scenes
are not rare; they occur in the metropolis at
least once a week, aad the "religious," or ner?
ti apa we ought to say the clerical journals,
abound witn tbe latest reports from the markst
of souls.
The origin of this gross evil ie explainable
enough, and the theory is not half so bad as
the practice itself. Strictly speaking, the auc?
tioneer does not sell the fight to minister at
the altar m a particular parish; be simply sells
the "right of the next presentation;'' that is,
the puiohaser may "present" to the bishop an
ordained clergyman of the Church of England
for induction into the living. . If the bishop
discovers in the candidate any grave moral or
theological defect, he may legally refuse in?
duction; but the usual tancertainty of British
law hang? around this right, aiid it is, there?
fore, rarely exercised.

THE CUERA W A^lt?^fiAlrlIB3VRY
; . , RAJJL&OAH.
A meeting of the citizens of Bowan County,
N. C., was held on July 5 for the purpose of J
promoting the construction of the Cheraw and
Salisbury Railroad.
The meeting was organized by calling John
L Shaver, Esq., to the chair. John S. Hender?
son, Esq., being appointed secretary. Major
W. M. Robbins explained the object of the
meeting in brief and appropriate language,
and than introduced the president of the road,
Colonel Townsend. He first gave a history of
tbe circumstances under which a onarter for a
railroad to the Coalfield from Cheraw had been
obtained-that after the location of said road,
the stockholders of the Cheraw and Darlington,
the Northeastern Railroads, and the Chamber
of Commerce of Charleston thought said road
would be but of little value for freight, and
that it was all-important to get a charter from
Cheraw to Salisbury, and that in accordance
with this view he succeeded in getting a char?
ter from the Legislatures of North and Sooth
Carolina. He was satisfied that the road could
be graded and made ready for the cross-ties
and iron for $500,000, and that when graded a
mortgage could be given on the io..d for a
sam sumen nt to pat it in running order. Be
showed that first mortgages on railroads
were largely sought after by capitalists as
the safest investments for their money.
That the road could and would be built,
Colonel T. thought would not admit of a
doubt. The road was already graded for ten
miles, and bad the bonds of the Cheraw and
Darlington, and the Northeastern Roads foi
$320,000 With this sum, tbe road could
be graded to Wadosboro', and then only
sixty miles would remain to be built. He*]
showed that when this read was completed,
we would be muoh nearer Wil nington and
Charleston than by any other route. Colonel
T. demonstrated that this road would be good
stock, for it would carry the freight for the
Eroduco coming over the Western North Caro?
na Road, and by its construction the valley
of the Mississippi would find the Bbortest out?
let to the Atlantic coast. He exp atned that
under the provisions ot the charter persons
could subscribo land to the road and receive
tbe value thereof in stock, and could take con?
tracts to be paid in labor. He showed what
railroads had done for other placee, and could
see no reason woy Salisbury would not like?
wise be greatly benefitted by the construction
of this road, anl urged our citizens to act
promptly and thus add materially to their own
prosperity. * ?
At the conclusion of this address, Colonel T.
announced the following as the Commissioners
to obtain subscriptions for the Cheraw and
Salisbury Railroad in Rowan county, viz :. John
I. Shaver, A. J, Kock. J. W. Hall, W. H. Craw?
ford and Thomas B, Long.
Brief an 4 appropriate addresses were then
made by Ur. Lafayette Green, ot Stanley, Mr.
Dixon Ingram, of Anson. Colonel W. F. Hen*
derson and Major Hobbins.
Colonel Townsend stated that it was neces?
sary for Rowan to raise $1600 at once in oidor
to pat the engineers immediately to work.
About half the amount was raised on the spot,
which shows work begun.
- COTTON S ra AUNO TN MOW YOBK.-A corres?
pondent write* as follows to the Hew York
Journal of Commerce :
Complaint is often made of lotees in the
weight of cotton, t'o-dav while looking out of |
mv office window I saw a BO UI ion bf this whole
dthoulty. Opposite there ia a cotton ware?
house (and there are several oihers io the
neighborhood.) and 1 saw the thieves stealing
the cotton as it came from tne wirebou-ie.
The word stealing tells the whole story I All
hands steal. The caitmen, the laborers, the
samplers, and hosts of gin ls and bove and men
and women that are banging around, all steal.
And ihe warehousemen themselves wink at it,
if they do not profit by this wholesale stealing.
If you will epend a few mau ates at mv office
almost any day you may witness ail that I h .ve
detailed above. At the same time, probably,
yen mav see a policeman leisurely wallang by
ignorant of ali that ie going on. A short
time since I called the attention of a police?
man to a case of cotton stealing, and he told
me that he would not arrest a cotton thief ir he
saw one in the tot. Bia txonse woe that the
Police Justice would not notice him, and that
he wonld get nothing but abase for his paine,
and tbat ;? he persisted in doing bte daly
be could not keep his placo three months.
Tile ie a dreadful condition of things. In my
neighborhood are several placee where thia
stolen cotton ie openly bought, and the tbi ves
can be eena going in aud oat at ali times of the
dav, and their business ls no teeret. This city
will suffer IB ?M business unless shit thin'/ ia
stopped. It is not safe to send cotton to SI >w
York for sale. I would not do so. and woatd
advise ray friends not to do so, unless % stop
could be put do thia wholesale thieving.
