During the seventeen years confinement of this strange prisoner at Santa Marguerita, St. Mary, who brought him to the fortress, was replaced by Monsieur de Bonpart, as Governor. The daughter of the latter, just emerging from childhood to womanhood, grew up with this mystery around her. She had seen the graceful figure of the whisked prisoner promenading at night upon the terrace and at worship in the chapel, where he was forbidden to speak or uncover his face, the soldiers in attendance having their pieces always pointed towards him. If he should attempt to do either. She discovered that her father always treated him with the greatest respect, serving him bareheaded and standing. His table service was of massive silver, his dress of the richest velvet, he wore the finest linen and most costly lace. She had heard her father accidentally speak of him as "the Prince." No wonder that his sad fate occupied her thoughts by day and his noble figure haunted her dreams by night. She, too, was very young and beautiful, and their eyes occasionally met in chapel. He sang beautifully, and was a very skillful performer on the guitar. It is said she climbed the rocks under the castle terrace and sung sweet songs to the poor captive. Thus a romantic love sprang up between them, and as it minced strength the young girl dared CARRIAGE PAINTER!

She had heard her father accidentally speak of him as "the Prince." No wonder that his sad fate occupied her thoughts by day and his noble figure haunted her dreams by night. She, too, was very young and beautiful, and their eyes occasionally met in chapel. He sang beautifully, and was a very skillful performer on the guitar. It is said she climbed the rocks under the castle terrace and sang sweet songs to the poor captive. Thus a romantic love sprang up between them, and as it gained strength the young girl dared to purloin the keys from her father and so obtained access to the prisoner. When the Governor discovered his child's treachery, he was struck with the greatest dismay. His oath was binding upon him to put immediately to death any one who had spoken to the prisoner. But she confessed her love for him and pleaded piteously for her young life. The captive also, to whom the Governor was much attached, joined his prayers to hers and implored that they might be made man and wife, and then the secret would be safe. The Governor was not stern enough to immolate his child, and perhaps a gleam of ambition may have flashed across his mind as, in the event of the death of Louis XIV, the prisoner would be acknowledged and his daughter sit on the throne of France. However, their nuptials were performed by the priest of the castle in the dead of night, and all were sworn to secrecy. From this union two children were born. A whisper of this reaching the ears of the Minister, the Marquis of Louvois, the prisoner was immediately removed to the Basile for safer keeping; and the mother, the priest and the Governor disappeared. The children were sent to Corsica, to be brought up in obscurity under the name of their grandfather Bon-part, which was corrupted into Buona-parte. And thus, says the legend, Providence avenged the wrongs of the twin brother of Louis XIV, and restored the oldest branch of the Bourbon line to the throne of France.-Bazaine's Prison. A VERY NATURAL MISTAKE.-Max Adler offers this: Always cork up your catup bottles tightly. Going out on the steam cars the other day we observed a man place a bottle of tomato catsup neck downward in the rack above his seat. Presently a friend came in, and in a few minutes the friend, who was cleaning his nails with a knife, introduced the subject of a third term for Grant. The discussion gradually became warm, and, as the excitement increased, the man with the knife gesticulated violently with the trunk containing the weapon as he explained his view on the question. Meantime the cork jolted out of the bottle overhead, and the catsup dripped down over the owner's head and coat collar without his perceiving the fact. Directly a nervous old lady on the next seat, who caught sight of the red stain and imagined it was blood, instantly began to scream "murder" at the top of her voice.

The discussion gradually became warm, and, as the excitement increased, the man with the knife gesticulated violently with the brand containing the weapon as he explained his view on the question. Meantime the cork jolted out of the bottle overhead, and the catsup dripped down over the owner's head and coat collar without his perceiving the fact. Directly a nervous old lady on the next seat, who caught sight of the red stain and imagined it was blood, instantly began to scream "murder" at the top of her voice. As the passengers, conductor and brakesman rushed up, she brandished her umbrella wildly and exclaimed; "Arrest that man there! Arrest that villain! I see him do it. I see him stab that other one with his knife until the blood spurted out. Oh, you wretch. Oh, you villainous rascal; to take human life in that scandalous manner. I see you punch him with the knife, you butcher, you! and I'll swear it again you in court, too, you owedacious rascal." They took her into the rear car and soothed her while the victim wiped the catsup off his coat. But that venerable old woman will go down to the silent grave with the conviction that she witnessed in those cars one of the most awful andanguinary encounters that has occurred since the affair between Cain and Abel. BEN AS A PARSON.-The Courier-Journal avers that the fact that Ben Butler's mother designed to make a minister of him is proof that a mother is not the proper person to train her child. Nonsense! Who can say that Ben Butler wouldn't have made a good minister? He is a very poor politician, and soare ministers in general. Besides, there is no humbug about him, and that is more than can be said of some ministers renowned for piety. Ben would never have hung for months upon the ragged, jagged edge of dispair, not he. If he had got caught at it he would have stepped down and out without any other grimace than a conical jerk of his weather eye. William Stonebraker, of Lake county, who is a good farmer and a practical man, speaking about ploughing, says he always uses a single plough, and would not use a gang plough. Every year he sets apart ten acres of new land to raise seed wheat, and he never uses the same seed twice. GAZETTE NO. 16 OF THE IRON MASK.

The January number of Harper's Magazine contains a sketch of George D. Prentice, which, to say the least, does not overdraw the abilities or the accomplishments of that famous journalist, and whilch, we may safely predet, will not be accepted by his admirers as a faithful likeness. However, we shall leave his admirers and the author of the sketch to settle this point between them; although we may be permitted to set the latter right in two particulars. "He was," says the author, understood to be Junius Henri Browne, "irregularly industrious. Few men worked harder when he did work, and few avoided labor more eagerly when labor was not to his mind. He frequently wrote in a single day four or five, even six, columns of the journal, and then he would not write another line for a week. Generally, however, he had performing periods extending from one to three months, after which he would chew manuscript completely until this tollsome fit returned." This statement implies a misconception, founded no doubt, we ought to add, in fairness to the author, on a very natural misinterpretation of facts. Prentice, in the later years of his life, was not uniformly industrious, simply because he was not uniformly sober; but whenever he was sober he was industrious without interruption which MINCHALANDEUR. A paper, to be printed in the German language, is soon to be started in Virginia City. Captain Clarke, the tyrant of the ship, Sunrise, has been pardoned by the President. The "Little Tariff" bill has become law. It fixes the duty on still wines at forty cents per gallon or $1.00 per case. During 1871, according to statistics of the German Society of New York, 44,391 German immigrants arrived at that port. This is 50,919 less than in 1873. The Prefect of Tehi-Tsin, the port of Peking, China, whose salary was $1,500 per annum, has just retired, after four years' service, on a fortune of $750,000. He displayed thrift and industry equal to the average American office-holder. Paris, it is estimated, contains 120,000 women who are dependent upon their needle for support. The highest rate of pay is about 79 cents per day; while the average pay, when fully employed is not over 24 cents for twelve hours' work. The California Senators have recyled a memorial from the San Francisco Sugar Refiners, protesting against the proposed Hawaiian Reclopezio Treaty on the ground that it would have the effect to transfer the business of refining to the Sandwich Islands. "Stranger, will you try a hand with us at poker?" "Thank you, gentlemen, but there are seventeen reasons why I cannot accommodate you now." "Seventeen reasons for not playing..." NATURAL MISTAKE.—Maxims: Always cork up bottles tightly. Going from cars the other day man place a bottle of neck downward in his seat. Presently a man and in a few minutes was cleaning his nails introduced the subject of her Grant. The discusss became warm, and, as it increased, the man was gesticulated violently containing the weapon in his view on the question the cork jolted out of head, and the catup over the owner's head without his perceiving just a nervous old lady who caught sight of him and imagined it was likely began to scream the top of her voice. As conductor and brakes she brandished her even six columns of the Journal, and then he would not write another line for a week. Generally, however, he had performing periods extending from one to three months, after which he would eschew manuscript completely until this tollsome fit returned. This statement implies a misconception, founded no doubt, we ought to add, in fairness to the author, on a very natural misinterpretation of facts. Prentice, in the later years of his life, was not uniformly industrious, simply because he was not uniformly sober; but whenever he was sober he was industrious without intermission, whether the period of his sobriety lasted a month or a year, and, what is more remarkable, the period of his inactivity always sharply coincided with that of his inebriety, extending not an hour beyond the latter, no matter how long this extended. As soon as his appetite for liquor was satiated and he became sober he went to work as if nothing had happened, though he might not have drawn a sober breath for months. The process known as "tapering off" was unknown to him. You might see Prentice at midnight, after an uninterrupted debauch of many weeks, staggering along the streets or sleeping with his head on his arms in a saloon, and the next morning, if you called at his office, you might find him seated snugly in his old cushioned chair dictating articles and paragraphs with that subdued eagerness and muffled vigor which proclaimed him entirely himself, and apparently altogether oblivious of his late obliviousness. The spring of his elastic constitution was all but instantaneous. His faculties rose from the darkness and torpor of intoxication with the suddenness of an equatorial sunrise. Perfect day quickly followed perfect night. There was no twillight. The truth is, Prentice was emphatically a worker. His genius was a working one. Work inspired him. He rejoiced in it, and to return quite to our point, never intermitted it, except when very sick or in a state that the writer of the Harper sketch would call "temulent." He knew absolutely nothing of the reaction into which this writer supposed him to have lapsed habitually after "the tollsome fit." Work was so natural and delightful, and so necessary to Prentice, that no excess of it ever exhausted him. To work indeed, was not toilsome, but playsome. It was his highest pleasure. COLORED MASONRY.—The Grand Lecturer of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Massachusetts, J. N. Conna, in an address before "Widow's Son" Lodge, No. 1, of New Haven, on "The Legitimacy of Colored Masons in the United States," Thursday evening, made the following statements, which, in view of the important progress made in colored Masonry of late, may be of interest: He said the introduction of Masonry among the colored men in this country was by the initiating, passing and raising of thirteen colored men into a traveling lodge attached to General Gage's army, stationed at Boston, Mass., on the 6th of March, 1775. On the 29th of September, 1784 Frederick At a recent meeting of German pastors at Guadran a resolution was adopted declaring that they felt themselves bound in conscience "not to marry celeastically such persons as have obtained a divorce from their first marriage on anti-Scriptural grounds, and thereupon have entered upon a new marriage by a civil act." According FOR GRANT. The discussion became warm, and, as it increased, the man gesticulated violently containing the weapon and his view on the question the cork jolted out of her head, and the catsup over the owner's head without his perceiving directly a nervous old lady that, who caught sight of him and imagined it was only began to scream the top of her voice.

CHEATING. The collector of customs in New York estimates that in a single year tourists returning from Europe brought about a quarter of a million trunks, and that the average loss to the revenue was about $500 per trunk. The Commissioner estimates may largely exceed the truth, but there are few people with travelling acquaintances who do not know that the travelers are set by people seemingly respectable to make purchases for them in Europe, and to bring them back duty free by means of perjury and bribery. Reminiscences of President Lincoln are constantly coming up. The last one appears in the Binghampton N. Y. Times, and is in the form of an original letter to the Secretary of War written in November 1861. Here it is: My Dear Sir—I personally wish Jacob R. Pierce to be appointed Colonel for a colored regiment, and this regardless of whether he can tell the exact shade of Julius Caesar's hair. Yours truly. A. LINCOLN. At a recent meeting of German pastors at Gundan a resolution was adopted declaring that they felt themselves bound in conscience "not to marry ecclesiastically such persons as have obtained a divorce from their first marriage on anti-Scriptural grounds, and theroupon have entered upon a new marriage by a civil act." According to the new law no pastor can refuse on his own responsibility, to perform any ecclesiastical function demanded of him; doubtful cases must be submitted to the parochial council. A Lower Lake correspondent of the Napa. Reporter has the following to say about Hiram Allen's daughter, who is a remarkably good shot: I have often thought I would like to give your readers a sketch of one of our Lake county notables, Miss Mollin Allen, a little maiden some 12 or 13 years old, who has killed more game with her small telescope rifle than any other two hunters of my acquaintance. She has made thirty dollars bounty on squirrel tails alone the past summer; and if you choose to figure the thing up—the tails being only five cents each—you will begin to have an idea of her success in that line. At a shooting match last winter she took so many prizes that her bearded opponents ruled her out of the ring. The friends of "Free Cuba" are making preparations for a mass-meeting, in New York, in the hope of urging the Government to do something to put an end to the war, either by recognizing the Republicans as belligerents, or by remonstrating with the authorities at Madrid. Memorials to Congress, asking for the same things, are also to be forwarded as soon as signatures can be procured. It may be said here, as a matter of fact, that the sentiment of the leading men of the Republican party is strongly in favor of the Administration settling outstanding accounts with Spain at once, on the ground that if it is deferred until the next House of Representatives comes into power, all the glory of the settlement, as like as not, will insure to the Democratic party. This view of the matter has been impressed upon Secretary Fish.
