ration. A French newspaper tells this neat little anecdote: Soon after the coup d'etat of 1852 Lonis Napoleon made a triumphant entry into Bordeaux. One of bis enthusiastic admirers had an arch set up for him to pass under, and an Imperial Crown hunz from it surmounted by the inscription: “He well deserves it.” Unfortunately the wind blew the crown away, and when the little great man passed under the arob there dangled only a rope with a noose at the end of it. Great was the joy of the Republicans, The richest man in the next American Congress will be Mr John L. Mitchell, Milwaukee, who is credited with a fortune of 18.000,000 sterling, which he inherited from his’ father, the projector of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St, Paul Railroad. Mr Mitchell, sen., was a native of Aberdeenshire, and laid the foundation of his great wealth as a banker in Milwaukee.
