I thank, also, tho faithful friends who have sent from afar numerous testimonials of af? fection and devotion. As for myself, being an exile, near the tomb of the Emperor, I meditate upon the precepts he left for my guidance. I find for patrimony the principle of the national sovereignty of the flag that consecrates it. That principle has been expressed by the founder of our dynasty, i? words which I shall ever remain faithful to, namely: All for the people and by the people."

Yesterday we passed within sight of.Purapelu.ua. No attempt was made to molest us. Three hours later, we took Fort Bourgette, which was abandoned by its garrison. We found a quantity of cartridges and other war material there, as in other forts lately captured, incuding Elijonda and San Esteran. The fortifications were raised.

Colored State Senator Gaines, of Texas, baa been sent to the penitontiary for bigamy. The distinguished states? man had been told that it was not strict? ly legal for a Texan to have more than one wife at a time, but bo was not aware the crime amounted to such a thing as bigamy until the shorifl' who arrested him incidentally remarked that it did. A New York auctioneer recently ad? vertised for salo "one fine tapir, sixteen prime monkeys, assorted sizes, and two moose deer, seized for violation of the revenue laws," "YfaAf fciND or.Elastic?'*?A dry goods man, who is well kuown-ior Iiis politeness, has a father who is an excel? lent citizen, bat not a very smooth talker. They were bo busy at the store Saturday afternoon, that the old gentle? man was called in to help. Among the customers was a young lady, who up beared to ho waiting to trade with him whoso elderly appearance' invited her confidence. Soon an opportunity of? fered, and leaning over the counter us an invitatiou for him to do the same, she whhpercd her order. He bent close to her and said, VWhat's that?" in a voice that started the perspiration to her forehead. Again sho whispered. "Oh, elastic," said he, iu a ttfne that could bo heard ou the walk, and looking much pleased with his success. "What kind of elastic?" he added, bonding his head closer to the burning face of the perspiring maiden. Ouco more she tremblingly whispered. "For garters, hoy?" he repeated, even louder thou be? fore, without noticing tho horror-struck expression of the almost fuiutiug young lady. "Something fuuey, I suppose? he weut on to say, iu happy obhviou of the store-ful of people; "young people now-a-days want things uic.\ My old woman uses a shoe-string, and sails around without noticiug the difference." Then ho got dowu with tho box, aud turned to show it, but the customer was goue. He stool around with the elastic somo five minutes iu waiting, but she did not return, aud it is likely he has forgotten all about the circumstance uow.?Dunbury Neics. iEnoitAUTic Steerage.?At tho last meetiug of the JErouauticul Society, Loridou, two rather important steps of progress wero reported. One is that by M. Dopuy do Lerne, who sends inform? ation that by means of a screw worked by eight meu, in a balloon weighing al? together four tons, he has been nblo to cause the balloon to deviate twelve de? grees either way from the direotiou in which the wind was blowiug. This, us the chairman remarked, would have en? abled balloons to go into Paris, as well as out of it. A step in the directiou of motive power, combining strength with lightness, was exhibited iu a small ma? chine occupying less than a square yard, iu which steam was got up by the use of gas, in less than two minutes, to a pressure of 100 pounds to the square iuch. The machine weighs only forty pounds, and ii of four-horse power. Ou the same principle, it was observed that another engine could be made of 100 horse power, that will weigh within 700 pouuds. One is ordered for a balloon that has been constructed for the 2Ero nautical Society of Vienna, at a cost of ?1,200. A Paris letter gives the following strange intelligence: "Among the dia? monds brought by the Shah are said to bo some of a kind totally unknown in Europe. They have all the properties of other sorts, the same transparency, brilliancy and hardness, but they are reported to possess the property of emitting a perfume in an apartment where many persons are assembled; or, better still, in that of a ball room iu the midst of the animation of 4ho dunce. These gems are fouud iu a remote part of Persia, tho soil of which is composed of ferruginous and carboniferous strata. Tho scent they exhale resembles that of amber, a little incense, and a special odor peculiar to tho forests of that dis? trict." The trousseau of a young Austrian bride was seized by the custom house officials, a few tlays siuce, aud confis? cated for non-payment of duty. Our custom house regulations, as they effect travelers, are about on a par with the moBt barbarous nations of the earth. It is uotorious that many custom house iu spectors are easily bribed to pass truuks filled with dutiable clothing, and it is reasonably probable that iu every case where porsonal effects are seized, it has beeu because of resistance to extortion or iguorauce of rules, ou the part of the person so mulcted. Here is a matter, also, which emphasizes the demand fur a:i improved civil service. While an ohl hen and chickens were 1 scratching vigorously on a pier, at Richmond, Va., the other day, a rat stealthily approached frcm the wharf, and soiziug uuc of tbo brood by the leg, attempted to drag it to it-? retreat, in an iuc-taut, the old hen pounced upon the back of tho invader, trampling him ferociously, while another hen juiued bor, and with two successive strokes of the beak, expeditiously plied, succeeded in cutting the rat's throat as cleanly as if it hud beeu done with a knife. A number of persons saw the contest, aud applauded the result. A coloreJ rnaa of Wilmington, K. C, by the name of Sandy Johnson, has a tamo coou which follows him about the streets like a dog. Tho Journal says that he is not only a civilized but au educated coon, as he understands an order, aud eloes whatever his master tells him. They sit dowu and cat their moals together, the coon imitating his master, not only iu taking up a piece of bread in his paw and biting it, but iu lifting n cup of water to his mouth and i drinking as naturally as anybody. Tho animal is christened Bill Johuson, aud hio m?stcr, Sandy Johnson, calls him "Brother Bill." A vein of mica has beeu discovered in Cherokee County, Ga., aud they talk of gotting the Mikado of Japan to come and develop it.

An unknown man, with a bottlo of whiskey by his side, was run over and killed by a train on the Macou and Au? gusta K-.iilroad, on Friday lust. A young Englishman has recovered heavy damages from a tailor who sent him au insolent dun on a postal card. The story of Jean Yaljean, one of the most powerful in all the literature of Motion, bas been paralleled in real life by the adventures of Alfred Eripo. At the age of twenty-four, Eripe was iu re? ceipt of a salary of 1,400 francs per au uuui. Yielding to temptation, be be? came in want of money, and obtained large sums by several dishonest transac? tions. Failing to appear at his triuL, he was sentenced by the Seiuo Court of Assize?to ten years' hard labor, but get tiug hold of the registry of birth of one of his friends named Jules Victor Adolph L;m ait re, he assumed that name and escaped, lie entered the army and served for seven years in an exemplary manner. At tho end of that lime, how? ever, he deserted. Tho true Lcmaitrc being arrested for this offence, the de? ception of Eripo was brought to light, and he was sentenced by default to an additional term of soveu years. Escap? ing arrest, be obtained, by means of his scholarly attainments, a professorship in a school at Nugent l'Arlauld, and afterwards held similar positiou3 in Belleville, Gonessu and Fore-en-Tar deuois. All this time he was known as Lemaitre, and everywhere his conduct was good. At the hist named place he married a young lady with sonio pros pc eta. In 18G3, ho lost his wife, and iu three months married again, lie was now established in the world as a re? spectable aud useful citizen; but. one day he was recognized by tho man whose name he had assumed, aud who on that account had been brought into trouble. The consequence was another trial. The defence was confided to an eloquent advocate, and his recital of his unfortnuate client's efforts to reform and escape the disgrace of tho evil courses of his early life appears to have profoundly moved tho jury aud the audience. A verdict of acquittal was rendered. They Order Things Better in Ger? many.?They treat dishonest bankers in j Germany somewhat differently from what we do in America. Frauleiu Adele j Spitzeder established tho Dachatir Bank j iu Munich five years ago, and for n while did the largest business in the1 city. Her plan of operations, like ail the works of genius, was simple, and it was eminently successful. Sho com meuced by borrowing small sums for a short time from any ouc who would lend, paying ten per cent, interest (a high rate for.Germany) iu advance, aud covering her maturing bills by new de? posits. Her business began to flourish almost immediately, and she extended her operations with great tact and au? dacity. Twenty-five clerks were scarcely able to attend to her customers. To agents who brought deposits sho paid from five to seven per cent. She lived like a princess of the blood royal. Of course this kind of business could not last long. One fine morning Fraulein Spitzeder deoamped, leaving no assets, and liabilities amounting to more than throe millions of dollars. Well, tho fu? gitive was followed and apprehended, and so little sympathy havo the German laws for theft und thieves that she was sentenced to three years imprisonment. In this country Frauleiu Spitzeder would havo undergone no such punish? ment. She would have offered tho pro? secution a compromise of fifty cents on the dollur. It would have been accept? ed, and sho would retire upon a million and a half. Whoever heard of the American courts sending a million dol? lar rogue to the penitentiary? Remedy for the Bite of a Rattle? snake.?A Mr. Philips, of Jacksonville, Florida, who was engaged in removing a couple of rattlesnakes from one box to another, was bitten on the hand by one of the reptiles. His assistant, without loss of time, immediately procured a bottle of'whiskey and poured it into a bowl, and into this Mr. Philips thrust his hand. The poison was thus effect? ually neutralized, und Mr. Philips expe? rienced but little inconvenience from the bite. This involves a slight change in the whiskey practice for snake bites, and will, we fear, be not half so popular as the old plan of making an internal ap? plication of the fluid?to gel a prescrip? tion of which "old soaks" have been known to wade around snake haunts for hours, with their pants rolled up, as an invitation to the poisonous reptiles to com-.- and nibble them. another Casualty.?During the storm Wednesday, iu which Rose 1'ouug I and Dr. Robertson's saddle horse were 1 killed, tho lightning struck and killed 'John Gill, ft colored man, originally ! from Chester, but lately employed on the same place.
