From an interesting article on the assooia- tichs connected with Malmaison, where Jo- sephine held hercourt in her palmy and happy days—which article we findjin the London New Monthly—we take the following graphie- ally related anecdote : Sometimes things did not go on quite so smoothly, however, at Malmaison, when any of the Bonaparte family visited Josephine, for a most cordial hatred eeems to have existed between her and the ladies of the imperial family, partaking somewhat of female rivalry and jealousy. One evening in particular—when the beau- tifal Pauline was to be formally presented to ese on her marriage with the Prince Borghese—must be noted in the annals of Malmaison. Pauline, clever, witty, and most lovely, had accepted the hand of the Borghese, almost a fool in intellect, solely on account of his money and his title, Sacrificing her heart to her ambition, she dvtermined to make the first use cf her new honors by endeavoring to humiliate t Josephine; and in order to carry out this amiable resolution, announced her intention of visiting heron @ certain even- ing shortly after her marriage. Days were passed in preparing the splendid toilette which was to crush ie sister-in-law. Atlength the memorable evening arrived. Josephine, fully aware of the intentions of Pauline, took her own measures sccordingly She arrayed herself for this trying ordeal, of a graceful against a beautiful woman. with consummate tact and a perfect knowledge of that peculiar etyle of dress well catculated to display her faultless shape, which she has al- most immortalized. She wore a white muslin dress edged and trimmed with a narrow bor- der of gold ; the short sleeves, which displayed a finely turned arm, were looped up at the shoulder by large cameos; an enameled ser- nt encircled her throat; on her head was a ind of adiadem formed of cameos and en- amel, confining ber hair somewhat in the style of the antique busts of the Roman empresses She looked so extremely graceful and classicul in this attire, that whcn Napoleon entered the sa(om he wus delighted, and salated her with a kiss on the shou!der—a somewhat Lourgeoss | caress by the way. On his expressing his sar- prise at the care with which she was dressed, she reminded him of the expected visit vi} Pauline. The evening wore on and yet the Prineess did not appear. Napoleon having remained beyond his usual time, retired at last to his cabinet. Shortly afterwards the Princess made ber a@ppearano>, ooking transcendently lovely bucton this occasion she had not trusted to the charms of unadorned beauty, as she liter- ally was resplendent with jewels. Her dress, composed of green velvet, was embroidered in the front with masses of diamonds; her arms, her neck, her head were also encircled with splendid jewels. As she advanced across the room towards Josephine, who, as the wife of the First Consul, did not rise untilshe sp- proached, Pauline gazed around full of pride and gratified vanity, conscious of the effect created by her beauty, her youth and her daz- zling eplendor. The calutations were cold between the rival ladies. Pauline seated herself, and to break the stiffneas of the reception, began conversing in a low tone with M’me Junct, who was placed near her ‘Well, Louise. how do I look to-night? What do you think of the Borghese jewels ?’ ‘Think! why, you are wonderful actually ehloutssante,”’ returned M’me Juno’. **But do you really, now—flattery apart— think this dress becomes me?’’ ‘* Vain Pauline! why you knew pe.fectly before asking me that question you never looked better in your life.” “ Well, it is not exactly vanity that makes me ask you so particularly,’’ replied Pauline; ‘but it is because I want to astonish M’me Bonapart°, aud you know I have spared no pains to mortify her by this display of my new jewels. Yet how elegant she looks in that simple India muslin dress, with those camecs, too, like a Greeian statue ; she certainly does understand, to perfection, the style that suits her. That white drese contrasts so well, too, with the blue satin of the furniture—it is per- fect. Good heavens! what shall I do?’’ ste suddenly exclaimed in an agonized whisper, and turned quite pale. “ What is it? hat can be the matter”’ asked M’me Junot, quite alarmed. * O, Louise, why did you not tell me? how cruel not to remind me! To let me come here inthis room, dressed in green velvet, when the furnitureis blue satin. Oh, this i: toomuch. I shall never forgive you' How dreadful I must look by the side of Josephine ! This is more than I can bear. I must go away at once.’’ | Pauline was conquered. Elegance had wen | the day against beauty. She tock a hasty | turewell ef Josephine, and hurried out of the | room, consoling herself a little in her retreat, | by displaying her jewels before the wh tablishment assembled todo her honor She ere down the alley formed by the house- old, preceded by lighted torches, and fullow- ed by her husband, whom she early taught to aspire no higher than to the honor of being her chamberlain; and thus ended in ab-clute failure, this notable wedding v.sit of the Prin- | cess Pauline Borghese. OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GeNERAL.— The New York correspondent of the Union eays : The legal profession have received with great favor the new contributions to legal learning in the new work entitled ‘‘ Ufficial Upinions of the Hon Caleb Cusbing,’’ Attor- ney General of the United States. Tho editor, C. C. Andrews, Bsq., is well known in this vicinity as an advocate of great talent and promise; and he bas discharged his important trust in this matter with great delicacy and abili y. Mr. Cushing is one of the best-read scholars in this country. His mind is emi- nently judicial ; his industry is indefatigable; aud trom an opinion of his, carefully furmed, an appealis useless Me exhausts his subject, and the foundation on which he plants his opinion is impregnable. He was on the bench of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts but a short time—long enough, however, to make the whole bar of the State wish his presence to abide with them. Prompt, learned, amia- ble, decided, he became at once one of the most popular and reliable judges The old judges on the bench looked on with wonder and not @ little alarm at the speed with which their “junior associate’? took the popalar favor ani disposed of cases. The opinion of Mr. Attorney General Cushing, now published, on the -‘ Office and Duties of the Attorney General,’’ is one of the ablest papers that have ever emanated from that department of the government. The ablest members of the bar in New York pronounce it one of the must conclusive opinions they ever read. Tne style is admirable, the array of authorities over. whelming, and the whole calculated to reflect great credit on the distinguished gentleman and author whose pen adorns whatever it touches. Tue Avrora BoREALIS AND THE TzLE- crarn —The effect of the aurora va the eleo- trie telegraph is generally to ivcrease or di- minish the electric current used in working the wires. Sometimes it entirely neutralizes them, so that, in fact, no fluid is discoverable in them. The aurora borealis seems to be composed of a vast mass of electric matter, resembling in every respect that generated by the electro-galvanic battery. The currents from it change coming on the wires, and then disappear as the mass of the aurora rolls from the horizon to the zenith power,” as the boy Sarthe tt floored him with the said when his master dictionary. | which w ees creme eee ielipencreigeeeeseeepesccseatie ian meet edna DAIS Speech from Mr. Buchanan—Visit from Col- lege Students— Advice to Young Men. The students of Franklin and Marshall Col- lege, Pennsylvania, numbering about a bua- dred, paid Mr Buchanan a latery visit at Wheatland a few days since They were received at his residence, and Mr Wm. B Duncan made a brief and felicitous coa- gratulatory address, to which Mr. Buchenan replied at some le: The following sketch of bis remarks is given by the Lancaster Bx- press: MB. BUCHANAN’S REPLY. Mr. Buchanan said, in reply, that he felt greatly indebted te his young friends for their visit. Hehbad the assurance that, at least their congratulations were sincere, as the: sprung from the warm hearts of youth, whic! had et yet had time to become corrupted and hardened in the ways of the world. The bocom of youth was the abode of sincerity and truth, and it was indeed a pleasure and an honor to receive the warm out-pourings of their hearts He said he had always felt » great solicitude for the interests of Franklin and Marshall College ; it was a noble institution and be was proud to be the President of its Board of Di- rectors. He was extremely gratified to learn that it had fair prospects, not only of a large number of students, but of great usefulness. It was gratifying to see so large a number of worthy young men already enrolled on ite list of students. He referred te their responsibil - uy, reminding them that when the present generation had passed away, and been gath- ered to their fathers, on them, the young men of to-day, would rest the responsibility of — and administering the fatars govern- ment of the country and of preserving intact «ur glorious Union and Constitution There was not, he said,a young wan anong them, however humble his position, who might not aspire with an honorable ambition, to gli the bighest office within the gift of the poople but in order to attain to positions of honor ana useful. ess and distinction, they must rememm- ber that every thing depends upou themselves They must carve out their own future from the vpportunities of the present Kind parents and friends have afforded them rare opportu- nities of acquiring that knowledge whica con- stituted power. If they neglect or abuse there Opportunities—if they idle away the golden hours allotted for the improvement of the mind—if they are not obedient to their pro- fossors in all that relates to the good interest and success of the Institution—then, th might be assuref, they would have cause t> Tepent of their folly through long honrs of bitter corrow in After life—for they could never retrieve the past. Mr. Bachanan said he had been a College boy himself, and none of the best of boys either, being fond of fan like thomseives. There were many little eccentricities in tne life of a College student that might be par- doned or overlooked; but there was one habit which, if formed at College or in early youth, would cling to them in after life and blighs the fairest prospects. He referred to the use of intoxicating liquors, and declared it would be better for that youth who contracted an 1g for strong drink that he were dead or had never been born; for when he saw a young man entering upon such a career, a fondness of liquor becoming with him a goy- erning passion, he could see nothing before him but a life of sorrow and a dishonored grave in his old age. Many lads, he waa aware, considered this practice a mark of smartness, but he regarded it as an offence thut cannot be pardoned, especially in a atu- dent at College ; and he concluded this est appeal by expressing the hope and belief that none of the young men of klin and Marshall were addicted to this dangerous practice. The speaker then alluded to the course and habits of study necessary to insure success in @ student's life. Many young men prided themselves in running over great many books and gaining a superficial knowledge of many branches ot science. This was of no practical use. He would urge them to learn thoroughly all they undertook to learn-to acquire knowledge distinctly—and then the: would — use it to some practical ad- vantage in after life. They should a cgeomare te _ diligence nf their alee studies by day, reflect at night u; ¥ they had thus acquired, and poke A — their best capital with which to engage in the struggle of life. He had met with many men of prominence who had looked at the indexes of a great many books, and had « general smattering of knowledge, but it was all sur- faee work, and of no practical use He ho his young friends here present would avoid failing into this error. Mr. Buchanan remarked that his election had been alluded to, and he might be expect- ed to say something on that nt. He had been elected to the high and responsibie office | of President, and he thanked them mos: sin. cerely for their congratulations; but whether the event would prove to bes matter of con- —— time alone could determine,— Vithout saying which party was right or rong, the fears of the “ Father of his Country’’ Lad at last been realized, and we now behold a sectional party—one portion ot cur Union arrayed in political hostility against the other. The olject of his admin- fratson would be to destroy any sectional party—North or South—and harmonise ali srcteons of the Union under @ national and conservatiwc 2 Rent, as it was ff years ago. U = be done, the time send come when these sectional animosities which shuppily exist way break up the fairest pertect form of government the sun ever shone upon. But he trusted thet the same Power which had watched over and pre served us in the past will continue to emile upon us, aud make us @ prosperous, united und happy people. in conclusion, he said that if he could in any degree be the honored instrument of al- Jaying this seotional excitement and restoring the Government to the principles and poliey ot the fathers, he would then feel that he had not assumed the arduous duties of the office in Vain. At the conclusion of Mr. buchanan’s re- marks, of which we have given but a rapid outline,ihis guests retired, each one receiving « cordial shake of the hand. After they had re formed in the order of procession, three cheers were proposed and given for the Presi- of the Board of Franklin and Marsball and the President eiect of the United (= Franklin had a capital method of de- cidiag difficult questions He took a sheet paper, ruled aline down the middle in red ink, and then entered on either side the argu meuts, pro and con.
