of his attendants. He hes every spare hollow and barn with an unhealthy
lustre ; hie wakiog actions are singular, and his sleep is alwayé distreseed.
It is rumored that he thioks, in his sober moments, of abdication ; but it is
met probable that he will leave the
throne. until some of Mr. Home's
ghostly visitants frighten him from it.
On leaving Ems, which is one of his
favorite’ resorts, he is said to. have
prophesied that he should never visit
it again, and he denbied his usual
“largess” to the poor. The Russian
prints deny that he is suffering, but
well infornied Frénch jodruals do not
hesitate te say that he is insane. Ode
of his curious freaks of fancy is that he
. ia constantly attended by the spirits of
a brace of dead friends.
. Spercr or King Wittiam.—At
the opening of the Gernixn Reichstadt,
on the 20th, the King of Prussia made
a lengthy address, He said Prussia
had no interest in tlie Prioce of Hoheuzoliern, except’ ithoped his withdrawal
from his candidacy.for the throne of
Spain might cause peace between heretofore friendly powers; but the Emperor of France bad found the Prince a
convenient casus belli which had no
precedent in diplomacy. The Emperor
in the discussion acted as if he regarded
Prassia 30 weak that he could compel
submission to his demands or safely go
to war, calculating confidently on presumed Prussian weakness and French
strength. Prussia resents the dictatorial language and insalts which the
Emperor bad indulged in the pursuit
of his selfish interests. Himeelf. as the
father of the Prassian people was called
them by a foreiga conqueror.
Tus MovemeNr Sraeeapinc—The
whole country bids fair to follow’ the
example of lilincie cn the question of
. minority representation. A eall has
been issued by the Repablican State

in which the Reépablican party is in
the minority, witha view to procuring

Sympatey vor Fuance.—The city

the evening of the 19th. More than
100,000 people, with twenty bands of

press Eagenie is delighted that the
Prince Imperial will have a chance to
make his first campaign under the eye
of his father, and we think w'th a good
deal of reason: It is mot every young
geatieman who. has a.chance to pick
up something about war—enongh at
least for a person in his position; under j.
auspices so entirely favorable. It is
not likely that he will be allowed to
wander about where the fight is thickest, or that he will be called upon to
‘ead a forlorn hope or mount the deadly
breach unless such enterprises coald be
arranged with a special guaranty of
his sefety. Certainly. that tacitarn
Lieutenant of Artillery, who founded
the dynasty to which he belongs, did
not have an opportunity to stady. the
art of war so-comfortably and with soJittle risk to himeelf.
PerririeD Trees.—A number of
petrified trees, on a bill near Calistoga,
were. lately examined by a geoclogist,.
who came to the conclusion that they
were petrified while standing. His
reason fer this singular conclusion is
that one of them, about twenty feet
long and six inches in diameter, is
broken square off in several places ; and
as there were ao splinters, he thinks it
must have been broken by the fall and
after tue tree was petrifi¢d. We should
take it to be far more reasonable that
the tree had fallen and been covered
with earth when the petrifaction took
place, and afterward was broken by an
earthquake or some other agency. According to. our idea, it would be impcssible for a tree to petrify except it wes

insisted upon his giving them some

were carousing. On his indignant refusal, he was strack in the face, knocked.
down and beaten insensible. At latest
accounts his life wasthoaght to be endangered.
Teacuens’ Satantes.—The Board
of Education of San Francisco have redaced the salaries of the teachers of the
primary schools, and raised tlie salaries of teachers of the high schovls.
The action is denounced by nearly the
