will soon be instituted for the possession of the
celebratod Leidesdorff estate, for which the
late Captain Folsom held a deed from Ann

of Leidesdorff. It is now stated that she was
not, and a deed is now on file here from parties
residing in Copenhagen, and professing to be
heirs of Leidesdortf, transferring the entire

was known that Leidesdortf's property in this
city was immensely valuable, a well known
gentleman then living here, but since dead, left
town in a great hurry and was absent some
mouths, when lie returned to the great wonder
ment of his acquaintances, who were entirely
in the dark as to where lie had been, or what
he had been in persuit of. After a while it leaked
out that he had been to the West Indies, look
ing up Leidesdorff's heirs, and finding, as was
said, a female that he believed was the real
Simon Pure heir of the vast estate, he without
ceremony popped tiie question, was accepted,
and married forthwith, congratulating himself
that Captain Folsom and all other claimants
would have to statu! aside, while he, the great
nabob of California, would be without a rival
in the Golden State. After the marriage, in
preparing the neccessary documents and get
ting testimony to substantiate the claims of his

The Fren& Imperial .uarcl.
The following in relation to the reconstruction
and probable early destination of the Imperial
Guard of the French army, is from the London
Times. If it be correct, there will be hot work
iti the Baltic by the first of next May.
The body which in France bears the name of
Imperial Guard was called into existence more
than fifty years ago. It first surrounded a
Republican Consul, lint it was not until the
founder called himself Emperor, and meditated
the conquest of Europe," that it assumed its
great proportions, and the matchless discipline
which has given it an enduring fame. In the
great battles of the later Empire the Guard was
always conspicuous; as the enemies of France
learnt skill and stubbornness from defeat and
re every day twre a mah&c.ibeeo:HirorI
tiie services of the Guard were more and more
a sad necessity. Both Sovereign and people
looked upon them with boundless favor and
admiration. It was the Guard to which Na
poleon bade farewell at Fontainebleau, and the
feeling was requited by the iiuuinehiiig demo
tion of Waterloo. With this last catastrophe
its days of glory closed, ami during a genera
tion it was unknown to France. The present
Emperor had not long been in power before he
carried out a design probably long before
formed. An Imperial Guard was a natural
project to a Bonaparte restored to the throne.
The inemorj" of such a force was deeply seated
in the hearts of the people. If reconstituted it
would equally invite the fidelity of the army.
The revived organization was even more. cfVicient
than forty years back. The force was never a
mere body guard, but now it is a complete army
of tried soldiers, light infantry, and field train.
To judge of the Guard by the regiments
which bear a corresponding name in Eug'a id,
would give a most incorrect notion. The olli-1
cers have almost always served with distinction
in the Line, while the privates are similarly
draughted from other regiments, so as to avoid
the intermixture of young and untried soldiers.
The Guard, as reconstituted, is fitted to be the
great nucleus of French armies, the reserve for
the day of danger, the chief defence in any long
and hardly-contested conflict. But the French
Emperor had no wish that his newly formed
force should rest at home while loss favored
troops were incurring dangers and earning fame
injthe Est. It was necessary to the honor of
the new empire that the new Guard should in
scribe on its flags names worthy to be remem
bered. Accordingly, in the spring of the
present year nearly 7,000 landed in the Bos
phorus. Under a commander who had shared
in the wars of the first Napoleon they encamped
with the reserve of the French army. A few
weeks after they were ordered to the Crimea,
and at the capture of the Mamclon they proved
tmit the old spirit was alive whtcn had led to
15 years of glory. On the 18th of June and
8th of September the same valor was shown in
defeat and victory. These brave men now re
turn to their own country after an absence
short, if mere time be taken into account, but
of long duration if measured by the crowd of
brilliant actions which have marked the year
that has closed. It would be unfair, however,
to attribute the unwonted enthusiasm which the
Parisans have shown merely to the fact that it
was the Guard who entered the city. Several
toihvoru and shattered regiments of the Line
were there men who had bivouacked at Old
Fort amid rain anil tempest, who had fought
at the Alma, and for eleven mouths had been
decimated in the trenches before Sebastopol.
The respect and welcome of the people were
equally given to these, but the presence of the
Imperial Guard gave a higher tone to the
solemnity, inasmuch as it called upon the chief
of the State to address in pesrou the troops
which are especially his own.

"which maintains 000,000 soldiers has an inter
est in maintaining in France a numerous and
experienced army, ready to march wherever
occasion may require." lie tells them to j re
serve carefully the habits of war, and, while
resting for a time from hardships, to be yet in
readiness to respond to his appeal. This is
certainly not the tone of a man who contem
plates tiie ending of an incomplete war by an
ineffective peace. It rather shows a conviction
that the contest is more arduous than was at
first believed ; .that, though success is sure, it is
still far off, and must be sought by new exer
tions ever a wider field.
No nation of Central Europe need fear the
announcement that the French Guard are to
hold themselves 'ready to march.' Although
the Allied Powers would gladly see the co
operation of Prussia and Austria is so great a
cause, yet their neutrality is not likely to be
interrupted so long as it is a reality. It is
against the common foe of Europe that the
newly raised levies of the French empire will be
directed, it is on the frontier of the Czar that
the storm will break which is presaged by the
short address of the French Sovereign.
The plan of the next campaign is not decid
ed, nor can in its extent be yet foreseen. It
must be retnemliered how the contest in the
Crimea grew from moderate beginnings until it

acquired provinces at both extremities of the
Empire. It is probable that the struggle in
the Baltic will not fall short of that in the
South either in regard to the magnitude or the
results. The land forces may not reach the
numbers which are now congregated in the
East, but the fleet which the two nations will
shortly dispatch to the northern water will ex
ceed anything that has hitherto been known
in naval warfare. The danger that impends
over Cronstadt and St. Petersburg is not neg-

are springing up, and the lessened bands
of
Russia are still further divided by the neeessily
of defending the capital itself. There is good
reason for such precautions.
It is more than probable that a portion of
that Guard whose return lo Paris just celebra
ted, will be sent within n few months to earn
now titles to applause on the shores of tho
BalUo. At last the war in this part of the
wu id must lose the reproach of incurring great
expense to effect little, and even the two former
fruitless campaigns will not lie wholly lost if
the experience gained, is useful for eventual
success. The Crimea and the Transcimcassiau
provinces may each of (hem be the scene of
important events. It is the peculiar advantage
of the Allies that they can in a few days change
the seat of war, and land a powerful force on
any point of the Blaek Sea coast, from the

where they please, certain that the enemy can
not retaliate. On the other hand, Russia is
compelled to 'maintain a different army at every
point of her territory.
Odessa can ill support Simpheropol Tiflis
can hope for no assistance from either. In
these circumstances there is indeed encourage
ment for the French Sovereign to persevere,
and to promise the noble force which he has
created that it shall render new services to
France and civilization. He has in his Guard
a body of troops well affected to his family and
throne, but they will best support his claims
by completing his triumph over tho adversary
against whom he and his allies are banded.
A "Hict!iiiM to Tyranka! Laws.
Mr Robert Russell, who formerly lived in
Schoharie county, New York, now resides in
the city of Albany. Russell appears to be the
victim of unpropilions circumstances. Russell
has an'unhappy faculty of doing business con
trary to law. On Thursday last Mr Russell
was arrested for the eleventh time since autumn
set in. We give his examination:
"Well, Russell," said the magistrate, "you
are here again, I perceive."
"Yes, sir. The fact is Squire, I'm a wictim.
Blow me if I care what Bobby Russell does, he
is sure to violate some law or other. AVhen I
comes to Albany, I says to myself, Russell, my
boy, we'll take a hunt to-morrow and try them
fox hounds. Well, sir, out I goes, and what
do you think? Before I got to the next corner,
'Barney Whaleu tapped me on the shoulder,
and says, 'that's agin the law." 'AN hat s agin
the law?' I replies; and he says, 'having dogs
in the streets without muzzles' lie accordingly
arrested me, and brought me to the police
court. The result of that piece of fun was a
tine of live dollars.' Well, what did 1 do then?"
"Can't suv."
"Well, listen and I'll tell you. I sold the
fox-hounds to one of Aunt Hunt's friends for
t wenty dollars. With the proceeds I bought a
sow and five pigs. I took them home, built a
pen in the back yard, and thought all my
troubles at an end, but I was mistaken. t ni
cer Bradwell called on me the very next morn
ing, and says: "Russell, keeping hogs in Ihe
yard is against the law.' I doubted it. This
riled officer Bradwell, who had me arrested agin.
This time I was fined five dollars."
"Well, what did you do then?"
"I sold my sow and pigs, and bought a horse
and cart, and undertook to draw wood. The
very first load I put on drew the attention of
policeman Sickles, who said, that driving a cart
without a license was 'agin the law.' He ar
rested me for that offence, which caused mo
another fine of five dollars."
"Well, what did you do next?"
"I sold the horse and cart, and bought the
half of a charcoal wa-'on "
"Well, what success did you meet with after
that?"
"The same old luck, sir. The first day I
commenced peddling, policeman Snooks took
me by the collar, and says: 'Russell, that's
agin the law, old fellow." 'What's agin the
law." I said. He retilied 'sell in ir charcoal in .a
wooden measure.' That cost me a fine of three
dollars."
"Did this drive you out of the charcoal busi
ness?"
"Yes, sir. I sold out, and thought I would
try my fortune in carrying baggage between
the steamboats and railroads? What's the use?
I only commenced work to-day, and yet here I
am again."
"What for, now?"
"For soliciting baggage without a permit
from the Mayor. As I said before, I'm a wic
tim. If I should save a man from drowning by
jumping into a whirlpool, dash my vig if I don't
believe the first policeman I met in coming
ashore would come and say: 'it's agin the law,
Russell, to go overboard without a license from
the Coroner.' "
The Justice having heard Mr Russell to tho
end. admitted that he was a "wictim," and let
him oil' without a fine. Russell left the office,
saying that he would go and kill himself, "if it
were not for one thing." On being asked what
that was, he replied that some policeman would
ui.si.utei- it was "agin tlic law to commit sui
cide," and undertake to collect the fine from his
"misfortinit children."
Russell's case calls for sympathy.
Poktky Sobkuko Dowx. -I'm thinking on
the time, Kate, when sitting by thy side, and
shelling beans I 'gazed on thee, and felt a wo
man's pride. In silence leaned we o'er the
pan, anil neither spoke a word, but the rattling
of the beans, Kate, was all the sound we heard.
Thy auburn curls hung down, Kate, and kissed
thy lily check; thy azure eyes, half filled with
tears, bespoke a spirit meek. To be so charmed
as I was then had re'er before occurred, when
the rattling of the beans, Kate, was all the
sound I heard. I thought it was not wrong,
Kate, so leaning o'er the dish, you snatched up
a lot of beans, I snatched a nectar kiss. And
a sudden shower made me blind, I neither saw
nor stirred, but the rattling of the beans, Kate,
was all the sound I heard.
