He has pro- duced two brochures, or, more properly speak- ing, a lengthy one continued at intervals, since he surrendered to the Prassians. Both pro- ‘ductions bear the impress of the Marquis de Gricourt as author, a most convincing testi- mony ef the gallant devotion with ‘which that gentleman is inclined to serve the fallen dynasty, as well as an evidence of what heavy burdens the chivalrous nobleman is disposed to bear in the royal cause. The first portion \of Napoleon's work was published exclusively and verbatim in the Herarp some time since. Of the second, or finish, we have had the chief points telegraphed specially by cable from Wilhelmshéhe, our correspondent having been afforded an opportunity of making extracts from the advaneed sheets of the paper, so that he could discharge his duty with accuracy and impartiality. This special telegram was Gated at Wilhelmshihe, forwarded to London, trattemitted thence specially on the 9th instant to New York and published in our columns next day. The Heratp writer at Wilhelmshéhe ssaid :—‘‘ Having had an opportunity of looking over the sheets of thé Emperor Napoleon's forthcoming pamphlet, by the Marquis de Gricourt, who has been chosen by his Majesty as the author, I am enabled to telegraph ex- tracts for the use of the Heap.” He then goes on to forward the essential items. * We are induced to make this reference to our special enterprise with regard to the pro- duction of Napeleon’s pamphlet on this side of the Atlantic for the reason that, even in this glorious, joyous and hopeful Christmas season, a city journal here in New York, one of those “prophets of the past” which throw gloom in the light of go-ahead newspaperdom, has just set to and printed the paper, having extracted it from the files of the British mails dated away back on the 10th instant, the day our Wilhelmshdhe special report was printed. The world has moved rapidly for- ward since that moment. Fourteen days have elapsed. The universal aspect has been changed from London and Paris to St, Petersburg and Constantinople. To glance back is unworthy of enterprise. No person goes to St. Helena to learn about the con- sequences of Waterloo as they are experienced to-day. “BELIEVE Not IN THE PRoMIsEs oF Prinogs.”—But you had better believe a gallon of Prince’s Bays will prove a no small welcome to many a poor but worthy house- hold to-morrow. i The Little Children on Randall’s Island. In these pleasant hours, when all hearts are, or should be, full of kindly feeling, it is indeed an astonishing thing to hear that the School Trustees of the Twelfth ward have been petitioning the Board of Education to re- store to them the privilege of flogging the poor children on Randall’s Island. This is interpret- ing the ideas and associations of the happy home season of the year ina new sense with a vengeance. That these hapless little crea- tures—the children of misfortune and sorrow from their birth—should be made exceptions to the strict rule that rescues our three hun- dred thousand public school pupils of New York from the degradation of the ferule and the lash, is a most extraordinary pretension, worthy only of darker times long gone by, and gone indeed, we trust, forever. Of all the juvenile flock these waifs and estrays of public charity, who have no other friends or parents than the Corporation and the State, should be treated with the tenderest care and consideration, That they alone are to be cuffed and buffeted by unkindred hands is a monstrous conceit. What have the Squeers and Gradgrinds of the Twelfth been dreaming? Glad we are, to learn that the true-hearted gentlemen of the Board at once refused to concur with any such assump- tion, and we think that we know the excellent citizens in the school control of the upper districts well enough to be assured that they would not for an instant tolerate any infringe- ment of the rules which the sense and human- ity of the New York public have imposed. Will the reactionary Trustees please, on this Christ- mas Day and hereafier, to recall the rebuke of the Saviour to those who chided the little ones who drew nich to Him, as most needing His protection and His love ? Christa The Pope has been shorn of his temporali- ties, the ‘Eternal City” has been appropriated by the Italian goverament as the future capital of Italy, and King Victor Emmanuel is shorily to make his ‘‘grande entrée” to signalize the crowning of the edifice of Italian Unity. The Holy Father, we are assured, is in the posi- tion of a prisoner in his own capital, and we know that he emphatically denounces the seizure of his temporal dominions and all concerned therein, and will make no compro- mise involving the sacrifice of the patrimony of St. Peter; and yet we doubt not that this Christmas celebration in St. Peter’s will lack nothing of the grandeur and fervent piety usual in that great temple ou this anniversary of the Saviour of mankind. We dare say that in Rome and in all other places throughout the world the congregations of the Catholic Church will this time celebrate this day with greater devotion than ever before, in view of the extraordinary embarrassmeats and afllic- tions that have fallea upon the venerable head of their Church. In this view, then, we may say, the Pope will tind great consolation in his present distress, and in this view we heartily wish him “a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.” Rome. BgATEN ON OxyGeN BY Burra.o.—New Yorkers ought to feel a little ashamed to see the provincial town of Buffalo getting ahead of them in the matter of a great scientific improvement. We allude to the introduction of pure oxygen in pipes through the city for the purpose of increasing the light of gas in the streets and houses and of purifying that article. A proposition to carry out this plan in New York has been before the Common Council for months and months. It has been urged by Dr. Doremus and other eminent system, but the Boards of Aldermen did not see any light in the subject, aad. ga he i sition hung on, uatil now the people of Buffalo, by a vote of twenty-one to one in Common Council, have granted permis- sion to a company te lay pipes in that city for the supply of pure manufactured oxygen and hydrogen, according to the patent of Pro- fessor Tassie, who was about carrying out this plan in Paris when the war broke out, This is rather humiliating to us. A Double Christmas. This year we have a doublo Christ- mas, To-day is the religfous festival, when people return thanks for tho great miraclé which brought redemption to all mankind. This is the day when piety holds {ts meek I¢vce in the churches and orisons ascend to heaven amid the perfume and smoke of incense in presence of magnifi- cent altare. But to-morrow the world will hold high carnival indoors and out of doors, Frolic and fun and good nature will light up every face—the downy cheek of the child and the furrowed features of old age. To-morrow will indeed be the holiday Christmas. Then turkeys will be sacrificed like holocausts upon that household altar the dinner table, and mirth and good cheer will abound everywhere. Laber will abandon its Ixion wheel for atime. The money changers will have vanished from the Wall street temple, and public bitzinegg in the courts and offices of gov- ernment will be suspended. Not evea an omcg- seeker will be seen around the rooms of the city magnates. The weather is crisp and pleasant—suggestive of light hearts and happy surroundings. We hepe, therefore, that the whole community will enjoy a merry Christ- mas, and prepare—by extending their benevo- lence to the poor—for the enjoyment of a happy New Year. “free Church in a Free State”? France. A cable telegram from London states that M. Gambetta has notified the Holy See, on the part of the French people, of his desire that France shall terminate the concordat with the Sovereign Pontiff, so that ‘‘the entire separation of the Church from the State may be secured.” This is a very important movement on the part of the French government and in complete accordance with the popular and progressive sentiment of Europe. Napo- leon undertoek the work apparently, but was afraid to complete it. Austria and Italy have moved towards its realization. Eng- land has freed religion practically from the control of the executive, the crown leaving the Church question almost entirely in the hands of the Parliament. Queen Victoria remains in the anomalous position of head of a Church for the moment, as does the Czar of Russia; but it is to be hoped that within a very short period we shall behold the mind of man universally liberated with respect to his form of prayer and place of worship, the clergy reinstated ona truly apostolic footing in the matter of their pay and parses, and all man- kind worshipping the Star of Bethlehem, from the manger to Calvary and from the cross to the tomb after the resurrection, without favor and ‘‘without price” or charge. The French peasants are really good Catholics. not wish that their clergy shall be subservient to the lay power. A in Anniz WATERS, wasarrested and imprisoned some _ time ago in Newark for alleged shoplifting, has been released on one thousand dollars bail, and is now said to be a respectable young lady of Brooklyn, a music teacher by profes- sion. If this is true and she was not guilty of shoplifting do not our laws or the laws of New Jersey require an early revision to prevent future instances of respectable and tenderly raised young girls passing through the mad- dening ordeal of a night in jail? a young woman who Jonn Surratt should be sent to a lunatic asylum. He has had the supreme lunacy to ask the Young Men’s Christian Association of Washington for the privilege of lecturing on the subject of his mother’s execution and Mr. Lincoln’s assassination, in Lincoln Hall, the memorial temple of the martyred President himself. The members of the Asseciation, who hesitated about denying the request, and finally had to calla meeting to decide against it, have probably a grain or two of lunacy also in their own temperaments.

Mrs. Pretps, the lady who was charged by a shep girl with ‘‘lifting” ten cents’ worth of candy ina Sixth avenue candy store, explained the matter fully before Judge Dowling yester- day, and was acquitted at once. It was merely an instance of over-zeal on the part of the unfortunate shop girl, who doubtless felt fully convinced that she was right in her sus- picions. The shopkeepers have found to their sorrow that honesty and respectability are not always to be identified by the apparel of the wearer, and Mrs. Phelps was an unlucky vic- tim of too much carefulness, Warn tne Betts Cums Ovr a welcome to Christmas, and solemn strains are breathed to- day from the grand organs of the churches, echoing the songs of the seraphim, remember that it is the voice of charity which speaks— that sublime charity which was born in a man- ger, which was taught in peril and suffering, and which was proclaimed from Calvary by an utterance the grandest that ever came from human lips—‘“‘Father, forgive them!” Let us take care of the poo Down Sovru, among our Americans of Caucasian, and especially of African, descent, it is a time-honored custom to celebrate Christmas for seven days and seven nights, with a grand blowout beginning at sunset on the 3ist of December and continuing for at least thirty-six hours in honor of the New Year.

It would have been hazardous to have delayed until after the close of the war, ag the ardor of the south- ern States might then have cooled. The prociama- ton of the United Empire of Germany from Ver- Sailles, amid the din of uninterrupted hostilities, has a twofold effect, It shows the French the utter usclessness of further opposition against their oppo- nents, and it displays the utmost harmony and Strength of all the German States in the neat of the conflict, ANXIETY FOR THE FALL OF PARIS.

TUE POSTPONED BOMBARDMENT. A belief prevails here that tae non-bompardment of Paris is due to the influence oi the Queen of Eng- land; but the oMtclal journal replies to this opinion that it is due rather to the diMcuity of reaching the clly effectively from the present locations of the Prussian batteries, which are yet incomplete and lackiag in ammunition, FORWARDING AMMUNITION, ‘This latter assertion ts well founded, For some days past the Potsdam and Anhalt Railway has aaliy arded one hundred wagon loads of the largest Projectiles, and the great gun foundry at Spandau is incessantly at work manufacturing ordnance of the largest calibre. A belief prevails tn military circles that the bombardment of Parts will begin before Christmas, but while such speculations are idle, all agree in the opinion that the fall of Paris 1s tanta- mount to the conclusion of the treaty of peace, THE FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF FRANCE. Once in possession of the capital the Germans will take @ firm footing and occupy the country until the French elect a responsible government. In re- Prd tothe manner of accomplishing tts, whether by upsetting the present government, recalling Na- poleon, restoring the Orleans family, or by a con- vocation of the general Couticils of France, the widest opinions are formed, although those who are best informed express the conviction that the only way out of the present labyrinth is by the recognition of the constitutional government of Napoleon.

BOSTON, Boston, Dec. 24, 1870, A week or ten days ago two young men, giv- ing the names of Simon Bolliver and Frank W. Kibby, came to Boston and put up at the Win throp House, on Bowdoln stre One of them 80 far enlisted the affections of one of the servant girls of the house during their stay of two or three days that she accompanied him when be left. All three of them went to Portiand and put up at the Preble House. While they were there the girl “got mad” with her lover, for some cause unex- plained, came back to Boston and returned to tt Winthrop House, There she “told tales’? of ber lite companions, among other things stating that they had a lot of greenbacks an1 gold in their posses- sion, and intimating that they knew about a cer- tain recent bank robbery. The story inspired the zeal of the barber at the house, and he believing 1t would be possibile to caich the supposed rogues, commenced a careful inspection of tne vari- ous hotel registers in the city, and last even- ing discovered the names above mentioned on the book at the Tremont House. He fortn- with communi his suspicious and = his knowledge to wi Police, and officers Rolls and Leggett acting upon it, went to te Tremont House and arrested the parties. Gola coin and greenbacks to the amount of $1,300, two elegant gold watches and some diamonds were found in their possession. The men were very indignant at vheir arrest, protested their innocence and declared in the most positive terms that they could rove themselves guiltiess. Kibby stated that he belongs in Springfield, but Bolliver was reticent on the cause of his arrest. Both men were elegantiy dressed. There are other facts in the possession of the police which they deciine to divulge, but tt i+ supposed the arrested parties were connected wit, the late Grafton Bank robbery. JUMPING ON A MAN. An assault of an atrocious character was com- mitted in Trenton late on Friday night.
