Tho imperial eagle ami the tri-colored flag arc unfolded. The Emperor has . vhoson, among our marshals and our gen- 0 xjrals, those to whom he entrusts the liont?r to command, guide and lead them to victory. The armies of Paris and Lyons remain under tho command of their actual lead- j x?rs. whose long and tried experience is ^ known by all, not only in France, but ?l>road. ^ Two new armies arc organized : Tho Army of the Alps. ^ The Army of Observation. I <> Vur the present the chief command of ^ tho Army of tlie Alps lias not been designated, l?nt tlic appointment of Marshal s linudon as Major General of the army, j leads us to believe that tho Kinperor has ^ reserved its chief command Tor himself.? Had tho case been otherwise, the ollice o' t major general would liavo ?.?eeu filled by a f general of division, with the title of Chief g, ?f the Staff. u Tho position of Marshal Randon cor- a responds to thatiiiled so long and so gloriously by Marshal* lierth ier near the Km* peror Napoleon I. ,| The Army of the Alps is subdivided into s four eorj)s, commanded, the 1st by Mar abnl Count liaraguay d'Hilliers ; the'2d by v Count MacMahon; the 'Sd by Marshal ^ <'anrobert; the 1th by General of I)i vision Niel, Aid de-Camp of tho Kmpe- I ror. v Marshal Baraguav l)'llilliers, a veteran / of the wars of the first empire, distinguish* od himftelf in Africa, where he successively a commanded a brigade and a division : then '1 at the head of only a division of infantry, c after four days of open trench, lie entered s llomarsuud, and inscribed on the Hag ?>t j j| Franco ibe first victory of tho last war* ? The officers of tlie French army remember their old commander of the Kcolo de St. '' Cyr, of which the Marshal had formerly J the direction. Marshal Daraguay d'Uillicrs, Sl although deprived by amputation of one " arm, is gifted with an extraordinary phvsi" c cal activity. His grey hair covers a volca- a no. He is one of tho firmest and must l' onergotio leaders. His directions are al. ? ways quiet, and his judgment sound ami 11 reliable*. Count MacMahon, who is at present the ; Ci chief commander of our troops in Afiica, ' lias proven on tho crest of Malakofi" that i tlio young Imperial army is possessed of|" tha rudo energy of llie Cambrouncs itu?l . ' the elegant valor of tlic Kichelieus. Since!'1 1841, when lie commanded a battalion of ^ " chasseurs, General de MacMahou lias t: ' I almoHt constantly" in the field. The sol- ; 1' diors love liim, believe in him and will fui- { low him with confidence across the line, of P tho.oneiny, through which ho will pierce j with his isword uplifted, smiling eye, the j ^ coolness of a leader and the spirit of a l' baro soldier. s' -^Marshal Canrolrert is the friend and tlio a successor in command of the Kastern army? , of^ the illustrious and ever to ,bo regretted , ^ ^ S^jnt Arnaud. Wo need not speak to w France of the deeds of the hero of Ziatcha; all the soldiers of the Crimea saw him hI work.

A Philadelphia paper furnishes the follow. 2er i"g mnusiiig sketch of a scene which recently jc to occurred in that city : |a OI1 'Mr. Bauni 13 proprietor of a coffee s;, Cl liouse in Delaware avenue. Some time :igo, a sailor, named Connor, entered his w raj place while drunk, liaum ordered Conner w C!l to leave. Instead of doing this, Connor { ;n Qf seized l>aum by tho nose, and so pulled it i or Jr. that he felt like an elephant for a week af- ' 0f p. lerwards. Connor was arrested and Rent I a, ral Pr'so?* Yesterday lie was called up for ' c.,j trial, lie pleaded guilty, and asked for the ,h IH> mercy of the court. Mr. llaum was rep- j |): 5st resented hy Col. Leo. Col. Lcc went into i hi a dissertation 011 the value of a nosp.? w] j10 Col. Lee went into antiquities in a high-1 J0i c( ly interesting manner, and drew a history w] U,1 of noses from the time of the creation down ' ce to the nasal organs sculptured in has relief! m 1.0 upon the monuments of Pompeii. ' A ve of nose, gentlemen,' said Col. Lee, is the ! al 1.1 acme of creative handiwork. Placed 1 wj 1st equidistant between the eyes, the human th n{j face divine is indebted to it for all its ex- i'j quisilettcfis?all its beauty ! 'J'ho noso is | w< lst the .scatter of the sense of smelling; with- j Oo al out it the delicate perfume of the violets | |jf j ;i would be indistinguishable from the pesti* \VJ fcrous exhalations of sour krout, or the (|, ly. ammoniac pungency of guano. A dis- j 1,0. placement of so valuable an organ by the j oll ruthless knuckles of this prisoner, may it ! w< de please your honor, would have been a ta is, heinous ollcnco, but Iho permanent di^fig- ,]j of unit ion of its contour is a crime which do- j fu mauds the oxtremcst penalty of the law.' ilci (Jul. Lee dwelt upon the high estimate j a> de placed upon the nasal protuberance by the i 'i- Human youth who fought under I'omper, fn ve and depicted in graphic terms their pro- jtl. il- cipitate (light when C?esar shouted to his til- solders' ' Ad Jutcics,' which being inter- bo preted, means ' Smash their Noses.' ih i j c 'Just as Col. Lee had succeeded in I u" drawing tears from most of ihe female r;i v<" spectators in the court room, the prisoner ut > rose up and opened out : |,j: ',e ' May it please your honor, can I say a (c., vc word V co a* ' Certainly,' eaid Judge Thompson,1 speak :le out.' he ill ' Well, your honor, all I've got to say is, tai that Mr. ]>aum's noso was broke before.? 'e I hit him and I own it. Jiut I think, Mr. j,,| "" .juuge, mat .Mr. jjaum looks me bolter lur fu| '18 the operation. Hefore I hit him, his nose un 1pointed to the left. As I knocked it lo the ca right, I leave it to anybody thaL ever a? ls^ knowed him afore, to say if his looks aim (j,, |1S improved by tlio change. If Mr. Uautn CL, 'l says his nose wasn't broke before I plugged ^ him, then I gives up and says no more.? cr< - Hut if he docs?and I know lie's a mail a i 1' uf his word?then I asks this court not to wl be too hard upon a poor sailor. I was m drunk at the lime, your honor, or I W: wouldn't have struck him." of %e "Mr. liaum being thus appealed to, ft;|l CI! back upon his magnanimity, and aeknowl- rei edged tho truth of Connor's remarks. Col on In Lee followed suit by saying nothing farther, frc nS and tho court?after giving a left handed an benediction to the law which allows a man 0 | to couvc.it himself into a hog whenever lie pleases?passed a sentence of ten day's im- c<' ^ piisonment and one cent fine." n- Why Epidemics Ji'tge at Xii/hl.?It wan j.. io in one night that 4,000 perished in the f,-( piague ot J.ouuon ot liiiio. it was sit ra .j night that the army of Senacherib was jn destroyed. Both in England and on tlie t0 continent a large proportion of cholera cases, etl in its several forms, have been observed '| I to have occurred between one and two aii j ( o'clock in the morning. The " danger of SM j exposure to night air" has been a theme of st, ' physicians from time immemorial ; but it fo is remarkable that they havo never yet as W" called in the aid of chemistry to account ov 'or for the fact. Wi It is at night that the stratum of air t], ^ nearest tho ground must always bo the |j( most charged with the particles of ani- <;,) ^ malized matter given out from the skin, t|, ^ nnd deleterious gases, such as carbonic t], acid gas, the product of respiration, and st, a sulphuretted hydrogen, the product of the cr jro sewers. In tho day, gases and vapourous t|, substances of all kinds rise in the air by f0 ,CI1 the rarefaction of heat; at night, when f lttc r?irofi?/?l inn lr?ovr?c ll?^rr? ?1?a.? 1 by an increase of gravity, if impcr- at fectly mixed with tho atmosphero, while st Iho gases evolved during tlie night, instead tv of asccnding, remain at nearly the same ar 'ho 'fcVC'* It is known that carbonic acid gas, w j. at a low temperature, partakes so nearly of is the nature of a fluid, that it may be poured w out of ono vessol into another ; it rises at Iv scs . ^ tho temperature at which it is exhaled from k< j the lungs, but its tendency is towards the in ' floor or the bed of the sleeper, in cold and tli uuvcntilatcd rooms. m a A Wise Conclusion.?' The conclusion he at which I liave arrived, after years of sh- observation and experience/ said the late oal John MeDonough of New Orleans, ' is, s / that without temp^rauco thcro is .no wo health; without virtue, no ordor; with- *' ud out religion, uo happiness; and that the )b- sum of our bein? is. to live wisolv. soberly. or- and righteously* >nd ?~ jfcgr .1 <lo uot inquire how fnuch fpu 1>1 bavtf read and studied on tho human pow m ' is ,crsI ?sk. l>ow yo\i cxerl those powers. w -*?

J hit these elephants, fond as I :t 1 of tliein, are, it must be admitted, dan- , u rous playmates. In our camp there was ^ less tljan nine ' konnics,'* or "murderers'' '' beasts which have killed their mahouts, *' other attendant1*, (..'no hug?! criminal v lh a speckled forehead ami proboscis, i* f ilty of the murder of no less tlian three v fortunate natives.

Jiusscll y The Art of Wo I kin j the Streets.?"We e hoard an old 06a-captain remark, that '' would rather undertake to navigage any 81 t of the high se;i? than attempt to walk rl Migh tho streets of a crowded city.? 111 let walking is certainly altendod wi'h cr ic trouble, and more than need be, fur <t of general attention to one or two )'* pie rules. In a certain city of Kngland, w vo have read, the coiners were at one e placarded with the following direc- '-11 is : "Gentlemen keep to the right.? ckguards to the left." This was inten- s* to facilitate the grogressof passengers nigh the streets?by causing ail pedes- jns going in one direction to keep 011 j side of the foot path.

To escape collision, in such a hi i', you must dodge either right or left, d( occasion may require, or be crushed I o u< en an obese matron and a pile of shirtmuslins, or get llatteued out between ? of tho portly dames, like a piece of et-iron between two slout cylinders in 1 filing mill.
