A Story of the Prince Imperial.
Here is an anecdote of the childhood
of IhePrince Imperial :iat has just been
made public. It appears that when
quite a little fellow he was very fond of
going to play among the soldiers of the
Imperial Guard who were quartered in
the palace. Xapoleon III, wishing to
see his heir popular with the army, en
couraged him in these frolics. These
rough playmates were, of course, very
careful to shape their conversation as
much as possible to suit the age and
Kink of the boy, but sometimes an oath
would slip out unawares, and, though
the offense was alwavs followed bv an
apology, it was pretty sure to be re
peated. It so happened about this time
that the heir to the throne was named
president of some learned commission.
"Xow, be careful," said Xapoleon, to
the little prince, "when you find your
self in the presence of these gentlemen,
to put them at their ease, as much as
possible, and not to interfere with their
conversation."
The child promised to remember this
advice; and so one day, instead of going
to play with his beloved Guards, he was
solemnly presented to the learned asso
Vxiation in question. Its members, mostly
grave and aged men, profoundly saluted
the heir to the throne, and an instant
of silence succeeded.
"O, gentlemen !" cried the little prince,
with his mother's own sweet ami gra
cious smile, "don't let me disturb any
bodyyou can go on swearing!"
"Why She Planted Roses.
A blacksmith had in possession, but
under mortgage, a house and piece of
land. Like many others, he was at one
time fond of the social glass, but was
happily induced by a friend to join tie
temperancesocicty. About three months
after, he observed his wife one morning
busilv engaged in planting rose bushes
and fruit trees. "Mary," said he, "I
have owned this lot for live years, and
vet I have never known you to care to
improve it in this manner." "Indeed,"
replied the smiling wife, "I had no heart
to do it until you gave up drink. I had
often thought of it before, but I was
persuaded that should I do it, some
strangers would pluck the roses and
eat the fruit. Xow, with God's blessing,
this cot will be ours and we and our
fhildren may expect to enjoy the pro
duce. TTe shall pluck the roses and eat
the fruit" And they did. Their cot
tage was known as the prettiest in the
jjhborhood.

The .Sixth Xational Convention of the
Republican party met at noon, June
1-lth, in the Exposition building in Cin
cinnati. The attendance was greater
than at any previous gathering of the
party. The hall in which thn Conven
tion assembled is an immtme fra1?
structure, with a seating capacity r
an audience of at least 7,000. The
building was erected in the spring of
1S70, for the .Sangerfest held during the
following summer. The fall of the
same year witnessed the inauguration
of the Cincinnati Extosition, which has
been since yearly held in the building.
In 1872 the hall was formally dedicated
to political purposes by tho Greeley Con
vention, and has since that time been
used for various iolilical demonstra
tions, the last of which was the Demo
cratic State Convention of Ohio, three
or four weeks ago. The interior ar
rangements have apparently been made
with a view to suit the capacities of the
human voice. The platform is located
in the center of the hall, and raised
about six feet above the level of the
floor. The chairman's desk is decorated
with wrapper, and is ornamented on the
eastern face with "Glory," in red, white
and blue. In the rear of the platform,
rising by easy stages to the level of the
balconies, are MaLs for some 700 or 800
invited guests, among whom were a
nt. .uber of ladies.
The Convention was called to order
by Gov. E. I). Morgan, Chairman of the
Republican Xational Committee, who
introduced Rev. Dr. Midler, of Coving
ton, Kentucky, who made a prayer,
after which Gov. Morgan made a short
address, and nominated as the tempo
rary presiding officer, Hon. Theo. M.
Pomeroy, of Xew York. The nomina
tion was agreed to, and Gov. Raldwiu.of
Michigan,, and Gov. Van Zandt, of
Rhode Island, conducted him to the
chair. Mr. Pomeroy then delivered an
address which w:is received with long
and continued applause.

Fifteenth We sincerely deprecate all sectional

as its chief hope of success on the electoral vote
of an united South, secured through the efforts or
those who were recentlv arraved against the
Nation, and we Invoke the earnest attention of
the country to the grave truth that a success thus
achieved would reopen sectioual strife and Im
perii national honor and human rights.
DEMOCRACY ARRAK3SBD.
Sixteenth Wo charge the Democratic party as
being the same In character and spirit as when it
sympathized with treason; with making Its con
trol of the Uoue or Representatives the triumph
aud the opportunity of the Nation's recent foes:
with reasserting and applauding iu the National
Capital the sentiments of unrepresented rebellion:
with sending Union soldiers to the rear and pro
moting uonieierate soldiers to ttie front; wuu tie
liberatelv proposing to repudiate the plighted
faith of the government: with being equally false
and Imbecile upon the overshadowing the ends of
Justice, by its partisan mismanagement and the
obstruction or investigation; with proving Itself,
through the period or Its ascendency in the lower
house of Congress, utterly Incomietent to admin
ister the government. We warn the country
against trusting a party thus alike unworthy, rec
reant and incapable. Cheers.

its commendation for its honorable work in the
