' LATXST jrnoM NAPOIIEON.-A letter,
purporting to give au insight into the
& imperial life at Chiselhurst, with other
?j interesting details, has appeared re
contly. If it be correct in all its details,
it creates a fresh ohapter in the life of
the exiled monarch, and reveals a do?
mestic" history interesting in the ex?
treme. However, it is not with the in
. ciclentH of tho palace or the homestead
we would deal; it is rather with the situ
utiori, tho ideas and hopes of ita imerial
" occupant. The enrious, no doubt, will
be interested in learning that the Em?
peror1 Napoleon, the Empress and their
? non Louis, oro bot really destitute. The
.' Emperor, it seems, is in tho onjoymont
* of 800.000 francs per annum? while
: '?0.000,000 francs are invested, and bear
- iog Interest, lu various ways, in the
name and for the interest of the Prince
Imperial. With such au inoome no fear
need be entertained of the immediate
poverty Of the imperial family. The
hopea of a speedy recall to the throne
are all in the ascendant in the Napoleonic
mind, and if we are to believe the ac?
counts before us, the Emperor's ageuts
are busy at work, not only in France,
for that is only what has long been gene?
rally know, but also in Russia and Ger?
many. In the former country they have
been assured that the Czar would view
with satisfaction a speedy restoration of
the empire in France, while the heir ap?
parent to the throne openly assured the
agent that, that no matter what his
father's opinions may be, he will always
consider it Russia's interest to support
France and restore her Rhine provinces
to her, provided France gives up the
policy pursued by her toward Russia at
tho outbreak of the Crimean war. From
Germany the reports are not so favorable;
but still, in presence of the annoyance
felt by Bismarck at the conduct of
France,'and his consequent threat to
take from her the whole of her border
land to the line of the Saone, restore
Nico and Savoy to Victor Emmanuel,
and so constitute France a federative re?
public, the exile of Chiselhurst sees a
sure hope toward a restoration. Indeed,
so sure is the Emperor, that he fixes the
time at whioh it is likely to take plaoe.
His Majesty, we aro told, given Thiers a
few months more lease of power; then
Gambetta comes to the surface only to
quickly disappear again, and then comes
the empire. This may be a true or false
prophecy, as the oase turns out; but of
this we are certain, that a mooarohy or
an empire would be better for the inte?
rests of France than the present mis?
named republic. If it be a republio, it
cet ?linly differs from all other republics
we have ever heard or read of, in its sys?
tem of police espionage and personal
surveillance, press suppression and other
tyrannies unknown to any republic. To
bring abont all this, his Majesty does not
fear the use of money, if neoessary, for
from America alone, he states, hs can
have 40,000,000 francs; while, not very
long ago, a British savant offered 15,000,
000 francs for the Napoleon collection of
autographs,- among whioh ia an original
letter of Christopher Columbus. What
effect on the politics of Europe or on the
general slain quo of tho nations the
Bonapartist restoration would have, it is
now hard to say; but it is likely enough
that it wonld inaugurate a new era id
conspiracies and assassinations.
Wno is KINO CAUCUS?- HIS GENEALOOV.
The word "oaucus" now universally applied
to preliminary political moetings for the ee
leotion of party candidates and promoting
party interests, although of purely American
origin, is not unfamiliar in Europe. W- soe
by tho cable despatches that evon tho slow
grandees of Spain have enthroned "King
Caucus" in the city of Philip. They have
been holding a caucus of tb? Corte? prelimi?
nary, to the selection of a President to that
august body. In the United States the word
ia, among politicians and newspaper readers,
ono of aimost daily use, yet but few know ita
origin. It is a Boston word, of revolutionary
origin, first used by tories as a term tn ex
preaB contempt for patriots who held caulkers'
meetings. Tho Knickerbocker Magazine aya:
"On the 2d of March, 1770, a quarrol oc?
curred in illiston botween tho soldiers and
some rope makers, in which tho latter wero
overpowered and beaton. The people were
greatly exasperated at thia, and sought op?
portunities for retaliation. On tho fith of the
same month, in a similar affray, the soldiers
.1. d upon the people of tho town, killing
an., wounding several. Thia induced the
rope makoraand caulkers, whoso occupations
brought thom into contact, to form a society,
at tho meetings of which inflammatory ad?
dresses wero delivered, and the moat violent
resolutions pasaed against the British go?
vernment and its agents and Instruments
ia America. Tho tories, in derision, called
these assemblies Caulker*' meetings, and tho
term waa at length corrupted to Caucus."
SNEEZINO DOWN TUE BIBLE.-Tho New York
.S'aa says that on Thursday morning tho Bible
troubla in the Hunter's Point public school
broko out afresh. Just as tho reading of the
Boriptnres had begun, a little girl accidentally
snoezod. Hardly had the sound died away
boforo a little .boy, scarcely old enough to
know tho difference between right and wrong,
sneezed aleo, Thou followed one loud, pro?
longed sneeze from all parts of tho room.
Disciplino was ' kt an end. Tho contagion
aproad, and sneezing, instead of i ending tho
Bible, became tho order of. exercise. Evon
tho principal, MY. Siebnrg, caught tho infec?
tion, and sneezed while consulting with bia
assistants as to how to put an end to tho dis?
order. Mr, Sieberg finally determined that
an example must be made to prevent like dis?
order in tho future, and so eight of tho loud?
est sneezers wore called up and Hogged.
Thia, however, did not effect a euro, for there
waa an alarming, amount of sneezing in tho
echool room all day. Tho trustees of the
school have decided on making two appoala
to, the Stato Superintendent against the read?
ing of tho Bible- ono on behalf of themselves
and ono on behalf of ibo parouta of tho chil?
dren.

THAT IIIFB INSURANCE MAN.-Hit?
nam? was Benjamin P. Gunn; He came
around to my office ?ourteeu times iu
one morning, to nea if he could not per?
suade mo to take out a life insnranco
policy in his company. He need to way?
lay me in tho streets, at ohuroh, in my
own ho uso, and bore me about th ut
policy. It I went to the opera, Gunn
would buy tbe seat next to me, and sit
there the whole evening, talking about
sudden death and tbe advantage of the
ten year plan. If I got into a street car.
Gunn would come rushing in at the next
oorner, and sit by my side, and drag out
a lot of mortality tables, and begin to
explain bow I could beat his company
out of a fortune. If I sat down to din?
ner in a restaurant, up would oomo
Gunn, and, seizing the chair next to mo.
be would tell a choering anoodote abont
a man who insured in bis company for
850,000, only last week, and wuo buried
yesterday. If I attended tho funeral of
a departed friend, and wept as they
threw the oartb upon the collin, I could
bear a whisper, and, turning round,
there would be tbut indomitable Benja?
min P. Gonn, bursting to say: "Poor
Smith! knew bim well. Inaured for
$10,000 in our company. Widow left in
comfortableoironmstanoea. Let me take
yonr name-shall I?" He followed me
everywhere, until I got so sick of G nun's
perseootions, that I left town suddenly
one evening, and hid myself iu a se?
cluded country village, hoping to get
j rid of him. At tba end of two weeks, I
j returned, reaching home at 1 in the
morning. I hardly got into bed, before
t there was a ring at the door-bell. I
I looked ont, and there was Gunn, with
another person. He asked if Max
Adeler was at home. I said I waa the
man. Mr. Gunn then observed that he
expected my return, and thongbt be
would oall aronnd about that insurance
policy. He said he bad the doctor with
him, and if I would come down, be
wonld take my name and have me exa?
mined immediately. 1 waa too indig?
nant to reply. I abut the window with
a slam, and went to bed again. After
breakfast, in the morning, I opened the
door, and there was Gonn sitting on the
stops, with his doctor, waiting for mo.
He bad been there all night. As I came
out, they seized me and tried to undress
me there on the pavement, in order to
examine ruo. I retreated, and locked
myself up in tbe garret, with orders to
admit nobody to the house, nnlil I came
down stairs. But Gnnn was not to be
baffled. He rented the bouse next door,
and stationed himself in tbe garret ad'
joining mine. When be got fixed, he
spent Lia time ponndingon tbe partition,
and crying: "Hallo, Adeler] Adeler, J
aayl How abont that polioy? Want.tc
take her ont now?" And then he wauk
tell me some anecdotes abont men wbc
were ont off immediately after paying th?
first premium. Bot I paid no attentiot
to bim, and made no noise. Tbeu bi
was silent for awhile. Soddenly, om
morning, tbe trap-door of my garret wai
wrenched off; and, upon looking np, '.
saw Gnnn, with tbe doctor and a orow
bar, and a lot of death-rates, coming
down the ladder at me. I fled from th*
honse to the Presbyterian Cbnrch, closi
by, and paid the sexton to let me oliml
up to the point of tho steeple, and se
astride of the ball. I promised bin
twenty mora, if he wonld exclude every
body from that rtoeplo for a week. One
safely on tho ball, 300 feet from th
earth, I made myself comfortable, witl
the thought that I bod Gnnn at a disad
vantago, and I determined to beat bin
finally, if I had to stay there a month
Abont an hour afterward, while I wa
looking at the superb view to th
West, I heard a rustling on the otho
sido of the steeple I looked around
snd there was Benjamin P. Gunn, creep
ing up tbe side of that spire in a balloon
in wbioh waa the tabular estimate of th
looses of his company from tho Tontin
system. Ar soon as Gunn reaobed th
ball, he threw his grappling-iron int
the shingles of tbe steeple, and fiske
me at what age my father died, and i
any of my aunts bad consumption o
liver aomplaiut. Without replying,
slid down the steeple to the ground, au
took the first train for the MissiBsipf
Valley. In two weeks, I was in Mexicc
I determined to go to tho interior, au
seek some wild spot, in some elevate
region, where no Gunu would ever dar
to come. I got on a mule, aud paid
guide to lend mo to the summit of Pope
catapetl. We arrived at tho foot of th
mountain at noon. Wo toiled upwar
for about four hours. Just before react
ing tbe top, I beard tbe sound of voicci
and, npon rounding a point of rocki
who should I see but Benjamin I
Gunn, seated on the very edge of th
crater, explaining the endowment pla
to bis gnide, and stupefying bim with
mortality table, wbilo tho doctor bad til
other guide a few yards off, oxaiuiniu
bim to see if he was healthy! Mr. Gun
arose, and said he was glad to soo mi
because now be could talk over tin
business about the policy, without fei
of interruption. In a paroxysm of rugi
I pushed bim backward into the orate
and he fell a thousand feet below, wit
a heavy thud. As be struck the bolton
I heard a voice soreaming out somethic
abont "non-forfeiture;" bot there was
sudden convulsion of ibe mountain,
cloud of smoke, and I beard no more,
know it was wrong. I know I bad i
right to kill Gunn in that manner, bi
ho forced me to do it in self'defence, nt
I hope his awful fate will be a warnie
to other insnranco agents wbo rema
among ns.

FON IN INDIANAPOLIS -? day or two
since a r undi At from Anderson, or there?
abouts, visited thc city'on business, mud
in the course of his peregrinations par-'
chased a parcel of Uoinac candles for the
purpose of umtisiog his progeny oh his
return. His lire-works wore carefully
deposited, in a rear packet, and a abort
time thereaftor he wended his way to the
depot to take the evening train. While
loitering in the waiting-room .admiring
the stacks of ginger bread, hard-boiled
eggs und dongh-nuts temptingly dis
fday ed on Jkhe Innoh-coucj ter, bo caro
essly whisked his. left coat-tail against
the red-hot stove, and trouble immedi?
ately ensued. ' The first "rocket narrowly
missed the face of a uative who was in a
half-comatose condition, caused by much
extract of hops; and, without waiting to
inquire into particulars, he made the
door in two gigantic leaps. All the occu?
pants of tho room immediately endea?
vored to follow his example, and, with a
worthy determination not to bo dis?
tanced, the proprietor of the candles
forced himself into tho midst of the
throng, endeavoring frantically to escape.
lu the meautime the candles fizzed and
popped, giving strength to the evident
impression that the party was being bom?
barded with Borne sort of an infernal
machine; and, strange ss it may seem,
tho inuocont cause of all the trouble wa*
the worst frightened mau in the lot.
Not until fearful holes had been burned
io the broadest portion of bia nether gar?
ments, and the eperdermis looked as
though a strong mustard plaster had
bet-n pulled off violently, did he dis?
cover tho cause of the panie. Order was
finally restored, though the effects on
that man's coat-tails were disastrous; ; ud
we are also informed that his unmen
tionables*required immediate half-soliug.
The victim was willing to testify that not
ono of the candles missed fire.

PnoORttSS OF TUB MEXICAN REVOLU?
TION.-Advices from Mexico to the 15th
instant, obow that the revolution in that
country is making considerable pro?
gress. The insurgent General Trovino
had left Saltillo with 2,300 men, tn join
his confederate, General Martinez, who
is now with 1,600 men at Charcas, and
intends to make an attack on San Luis.
General Gespodes, of Coahuila, is with
him. On the 7th, General Corellas,
commanding the Government cavalry,
moved to attack General Martinez's
advance. He waa routed, and fled back
to Sau Luis with two-thirds of his force
lost and ecattered. The towns of Ca?
bra], Mo! tah u la, Charcas and some
smaller places on tho road are in posses?
sion of the revolutionists. The rebel
General D?nalo Guerrera is within sup?
porting distance of General Trevino,
with 200 men. It is calculated that
Trevino can concentrate 6,000 revolu?
tionists to oppose any Government force
coming to the Northern frontier. Gene?
ral Diaz, with 3,000 men, left Oaxaca
before the advance of the Government
force under General Rocha. Felix Diaz
and Colonel Meyer, with only a small <
infantry force, were left behind to de-1
fend Oaxaca, and these only were de?
feated by the Government troops, who
were in overwhelming numbers. Gene?
ral Escobedo has pronounced in Guana
jata, with the former Governor of that
State. De Loon has pronounced for
Diaz, and is in Guannjatu, awaiting his
arrival. The State of Durango is unani?
mous in favor of revolution, and there
are no Government troops in the State.
The State of Chihuahua announced its
intention to observe neutrality. Ca?
males, Governor of Tamaulipas, will
join the revolutionists soon. All the
frontier leaders uro determined to sup?
press tho zona libre as detrimoutal to
the interests of the cities outside thereof.
The Boston Post eoucltides a sharp
but dignified criticism 1 poa Senator
.Sumner's oivil rights ii veulent with
the following paragraph :
The colorud mau, the nuw-mudo citi
zen, neither requires, nor in accordance
with this principle can ho ask, that in
traveling for business or health or plea?
sure, or in the enjoyment of the ordi?
nary comforts aud amusements, or even
educational and loligious privileges of
sooial life, he shall bu aided or protected
by special legislation, or by any provi?
sions of law which ure not- common to
tho whito mau and to all citizens alike.
However contemptuously Mr. Sumner
may treat such a view of the case, and
howevor grandiloquently he may main?
tain his position by glittering generali?
ties, universal platitudes and axiomatic
self-evident truths, it is undeniably true
and palpable to common sense and com?
mon experience that his whole com?
plaint in behalf of tho colored raco re?
solves itself iuto u problem of society,
and not of rights, the solution of which
is to be found, not in legislation, but in
those customs, tastes and amenities by
which the soujul order is ordinarily ^
vorued. Mr. Sumner's labored effort,
therefore. *vuile Under other circum?
stances it might bu excusable, though
extra-legislative, must be regarded in its
present connection as untimely and ob?
trusive. If it shall provo to be a hin?
drance to the correctiou of a real griev?
ance, and to frustrate a measure of
positive justice, by defeating the passage
of the amnesty lull, it would remain to
bo deplored au ' universally condemned.
