Sur AGAINST CHARLES X. The Scotsman
states that nine carriages of Charles X alias
MIR. Capet. have been arrested in Edinburg,
and are still held in durance vie, for debt of
considerable magnitude, contracted under cir
cumstances, according to the Scotsman's state
ment, which ought TO have ensured its dis
charge long since. After the destruction of the
Bastile, in 1898, while the Bourbon family were
flying from France to Germany, the whole of
their baggage wagons were arrested on the
route for debt. Louis XVIII and Charles X
were both of the party and prevailed upon the
Count de Plaff de Paiaflenhoffen, &c, to be-
come security to their creditors. Several years
after, the Count was sued for their debts, and
compelled to pay ahont E40 GOO for which pur
pose he was obliged, in about 1904, TO sell his
estates for half their value.
After the restoration of Louis XVIII, The
Count applied 10 his Majesty and the Dauphin
for the payment, which they agreed to make
by instruments, and he has since received, in
three payments, 900 francs (G6,200) At
ter Charles Ks accession, the Count applied
again, and received plenty of promises, but no
money. When Charles fled to England, the
Counts claim became a desperate debt. He
did not hesitate to take legal advice how to
proceed for its recovery. The consequence
was the seizure of the Royal carriages, upon
which summons was raised and executed, cit.
ing King Charles X alias Charles Capet, to ap-
pear before the Lords of Council and Session
on an early day in December; E50.0O0 of tae
Royal property has since been arrested, ia-the
hands of an eminent banker IN Edinburg.

We learn from Copenhagen that an ex-
petition, which sailed from that port in May
last, succeeded in reaching the eastern
coast of Greenland, where some Norwegian
colonists settled eight centuries ago, and to
which all access had since been prevented
by the ice. The expedition feund there the
descendants of the primitive colonists, who
still profess Christianity, which was carried
thither by their forefathers; their language
is that of the Korwegans of the 10th cen
tury.
A letter from Rome states, that on the

A minority of nearly all classes of the
citizens Of Brussels, Antwerp, Client, and

dence.

EXECUTION OF TAssELs. Information
has reached this city, that Tassels, the In
dian, in whose behalf the Writ of Error
was sued out of the Supreme Court from
the decision of the Circuit Court Of the
State Of Georgia, has been hung in pursu-
anee Of the sentence of that Eourt. the
case has, therefore, we suppose, passed
from the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
no Injunction or supersedeas having issued
from that Court, disobedience to which
wonll bring the case before it.
The issuing of the writ Of error was a
matter of course; a right guaranteed by the
laws, and duty imperative on the Court
tice to the State that a Writ of Error had
been sued out. 1t was summons, which
the State had right to disregard if she
chose; because ifthe State did disregard it,
the case would nevertheless have been ex-
amned before the Supreme Court, and adj
judged according TO law, had not the death
ofthe party abated the cause. Nor was the
execution of the Indian, or the proceedings
of the Legislature, or of the Executive of
Georgia by which the execution of the sem
tence was enforced and directed, any Of
fence against the Laws of the United States.
A humane regard for human life; spirit
of mercy; proper respect for rights claim
ed in the form Of Law, would, perhaps, have
induced suspension of the execution until
the decision of the Supreme Court should
have been made, but no lega! obligation or
injunction exists which has been violated by
the sentence being carried into effect. The
wrong, SO far as a wrong, has been perpe-
trated by the execution of the sentence, is
a moral lnot legal) wrong.
The resolutions of the Legislature of the
State of Georgia, it is true, 90 farther than
this, and impugn the authority of the Su-
preme Court, as derived from the Constitu-
ton. So far, the proceedings Of the Legis-
lature are unconstitutional, and therefore,
in our view, not justifable. But there is
no process by which that unconstitutional
proceeding can be brought before the Su-
preme Court, lift were desirable. AS case
of actual conflict between the United States
and Georgia, therefore, the case has ter
minated with the death of the Indian, even
though he may have legally incufrcti- the
penalty; but we are glad that the case is
ended by reason Of that circumstance. For
we are far from desiring to multiply points
of conflict between the Federal and State
authorities.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. A child of
Mr.. JAS. Bahhitt of this town, about Is
months old, was scalded to death last week
by swallowing hot tea from the spout of a
tea pot. It had seen the older children
drink cold tea in this way from tea pot,
and was endeavoring 10 copy their exam
pie at moment when it was unobserved.
1t survived three or four hours in the most
excruciating pain. The practice referred
to is a dangerous one for children, and par
ents should be admonished by this shocking
death not 10 permit it in their families.

PHOSPHATE OF QUININE. DR.. Hairless,
of Bonn, has found the phosphate of quinine
not only to be more agreeable TO the palate,
and to act more pleasantly on the stomach
than the sulphate ofquinine but, on account
of the alcali being neutralized by an animal
acid, to mix more readily with the chyme
and chyle, and consequently to be more
speedily diffdsed throughout the system.
He has found this preparation to agree bet
ter with the irritable or nervous stomach,
than either the ulphatc, the nitrate, or the
acetate of quininc. The dose is from one
TO four grains. Foreign Journal.

HOUSE OF REFORMATION. A person liv-
ing not thirty miles from Boston, hearing
that one of his neighbors had killed an OK,
and thinking that piece of the surloin
would make good Sundays dinner, called
a companion and proceeded, after the fami-
ly had retired to rest, to the barn where the
OK hung suspended, with stick between
the TANKS, in the usual way. 1t was agreed
that he should mount the cross stick and
cut away, whilst the other kept watch. He
had scarcely commenced operations when
the stick slipped from under him, the ribs
closed in and fairly locked him inside the
cdrcass, his arms EXTENDED above his mead
and his feet projecting from the neck of the
animal. His companion fed, leaving the
prisoner TO be released from his confinement
by the owner of the OK, who, upon opening
his barn at sunrise, greeted him with
hearty GOOD morning. "-Iranscript
