APofiion Of our Subscribers. last week.

due lime. and justice 70 oursrlf requires
thai We should explain che esnse. The
papers were pat in The post Office here in
good lime: bat owing 70 some mistake or
earrlessness al The post Office at Raleigh.
The wrong man was put upon this line,
50 that when il came here il could not be
opened. and hence i was that no mail
went from This place west on Thursday;
consequently our papers did no, arrive IN
time Cor lhe c,oss mall n Mason Hall,
and were thereby detained whole week.
This. as we are informed. isrille second
time within month that the sane mis-
take has been made Al the Raleigh post
Office; we hope more earelulness will be
observed hereafter in that particular.
In connection with This explanation il
will be well 10 remark. that we are aware
that many Of our subscribers on the low
er route labour under great Inconvenience
in getting their papers from The present
bad arrangement Of the mails; and so
soon a. we can have some consultation
on The subject. we intend making an ef-
fort 10 have il remedied. Orange is one
Of the largest and mos. intelligent conn
ties in The stale. and we believe has few.
or mail facilities almost Than any other.
Certainly the arrangement is bad enough
here, al any rate.

Since the abnve was in type we have
received slip from The Republican Office
which states tina, the vote in Halifax was
Cor Nash 500, Daniel 36G--giying for
Nash a majority of 1914.
In Granville the votes were for Nash
767, Daniel 575-majority for Nash l92
---une precinct 10 hear from.
In these three counties, Orange, Gran
Vile and Halifax, Nash's majority is $50.
Person, il we are correctly informed, has
given Daniel a majority Of 300; from the
other two counties of the district we have
n, certain returns. bat the probability is
that Daniel is elected by small majority.
/ But Notwithstanding this result, We
have much cause for graduation. Mr..
Nash began the campaign with clear
majority Of $50 against him; and nolwiih-
standing This odds. (enoagh to palsy gi-
aai's strength and notwithstanding the
bold boast Of The Standard, and Of Mr.. Da-
MEL himself, that they would carry lie
dis,ric. by twelve or fifteen hundred ma
iority, the Wings have well nigh ami
hila,ed the majority against them, and
though not now successful, they have
prepared the way for glorious victory
in 1871.
The campaign has been conducted
throughout with much spiriton both sides
aud as far as we have been able 10 OBJ
serve, with good feeling. The Wings
are largely indeb ed 10 their young cham
pion for his gallant defence Of their pfin'
ciples; and his noble self.sacritice ant
zeal will not fail TO be remembered on :

favorable circumstances. Mr.. Nash ha'
certainly won for himself laurcls Of which
he may well be proud.

From Alison's History of Europe.
T.,o Empress Josephine.

The history of the Empress Josephine
had been very remarkable. She was born
in the West Indies: and that it had early
been propheced, by an old negress, that
she should lose her first husband, be ex-
tremely unfortunate, but she should after
wards be greater than queen. CThc au-
thor heard the prophecy long before Ma
poleon's elevation to the throne, from the
late Countess Of Bath and the Countess of
Ancram, who were educated in the same
convent with Josephine, and had repea-
teddy heard her mention the circumstance
in early youth.) This prov iecy, the AT
,henticily of which is placed beyond a
doubt, was fulfilled in the most singular
manner. Her first husband, Alexander
Beauharnois, general of the army Of the
Rhine, had been guillotined during the
reign of terror; and she herself, who was
also imprisoned at the same time, was
only saved from impending death by the
fall of Robespierre. So strongly was the
prophecy impressed on her mind that
while lying in the dungeon of Concler-
girie, expecting every hour to be sum.
moned to the revolutionary tribunal, she
mentioned it to her fellow prisoners and
to amuse them, named some Of them as
ladies of the bed-chamber; a jest which
she afterwards lived to realize on one oil
their number.
Josephine herself narrated this extraor
binary passage in her life, in the following
terms, in her memoirs -
"One morning the jailor entered the
chamber where | slept with the Duches,
d'Aiguillon and two Other ladies'. and tolt
me he was going to take my mattress, tc
give it to another prisoner. Why, sale
Madame d'Aigullon, eagrly, will not Ma
dame d'Beauharnois obtain better one
No, no, he replied, with fiendish smile
she will have no need of one. for she il
about to be led TO the Concicrgirie, an,
thence to the guilloione.-At,hes words
my companions in misfortune uttered
piercing shrieks. consoled them as vel

The Philadelphia Times reports a most
painful case Of misery and desltulion.
1t says that very nice, civil, sensible
looking, dcccntly clad, and apparently
temperate man Of about IS years Of age,
respectable in appearance, active, hearty
and hale in body, appeared before the
Alderman and stated that he had a com
plant to make against himself oian intent
to commit felony, aud asked for com
mitment upon such a charge--lhat he had
been out Of employment for eight months
had spent his last dollar, and disposed
of every thing he had in the world, except
the cloths he had on-that he had tried in
vain to get work, and couldn't succeed
and seeing nothing encouraging in the
prospective, could think of no other alter
native to relieve his necessities but TO per.
petrate a robbery, aud to snatch himself
from this temptation TO crime, he made
the application lie did to the magistrate.
The Alderman, as well may be supposed
expressed great surprise al conduct seem
ingly so extraordinary in man of aspect
so favorable as his, aud asked him if he
had ever been subj ct to fits Of mental de-
rangement. His answer was DISTINCTLY in
the negalve-aud he went on to say that
he was fully aware Of the establishment
his behaviour must necessarily excite, as
well as sensi,ively and keenly alive TO the
delicacy and peculiarly Of his situation !;
but that he had lived upon his means until
they were all exliausted-he was $i6 in
arrears for board, for which debt he had
given a note Of another man that he held,
in amount much more than the deb,-lhat
his friends were all as poor as himself,
and unable to take care of him, and that
his pride would not suffer him to 90 10
the Aims liouse-"lor," said he, Gin the
poor-house will be exposcd-in the So
liiary call of the prison shall neither see
nor be seen" The Alderman asked him
for how long period he wished 10 be
committed. lie said that he would like
to remain in prison, until next March or
April, as he though, "ihings by tia. time
might take another turn" lie was fur

as | could; and at length, worn out with
their eternal lamentations, told them that
their grief was utterly unreasonable; that
not only should not die, but live TO be
Queen of France. Why, then, do you
not name your maids of honor, said Ma
dame d'Aigullon, irritaed at such express
sons at such moment. Very true, said
|, did not think of that: well, my dear,
| make you one Of them. Upon this the
tears of one Of these ladies' fell apace, for
they never doubted l was mad. But tue
truth was was not gifted with any extra
ordinary courage, but internally persuaded
of the truth of the oracle.
"Mrdame d'Aiguillon soon after became
unwcll, and | drew her towards the win
dow, which I opened to admit through the
bars a little fresh air. | there perceived "A
poor woman who knew us, and who was
making number ofsigns, which | at first
could not understand. She constantly
held up her gown, (robe,) and seeing she
had some object in view, called out
robes, to which she answered yes. She
then lifted up a stone and put ii in her lap,
which she lifted up a second time; called
out 'pierie.' Upon which she evinced
the greatest joy at perceiving that her
signs were understood. Joining then the
stone in her robe, she eagerly initiated the
motion of cutting of the neck, and imme-
diately began 10 dance and evince the
most exlravagant joy. This singular
pantomine awakened in our minds vague
hope that possibly Robcspierre might be
no more.
AT this moment, when we were iloa-
ting between hope and fear, we heard 4
great noise in the corridor, and the terrible
voice of our jailor, who said to his dog,
giving him at the same time kick, Get
out, you cursed Robespierrc.' That
coarse phrase at once taught us that we
had nothing to fear, and that France was
saved"

Nought broke the stiffness of hi,

other. Nought broke the stiffness of his
last moments, but the suppressed sobs of
his af1ectionate servants collected on the
stair case the tick of the large clock in
the hall, as it measured off with painful
distinctness, the last fleeing moments of
his existence, and the low moan of the
winter wind, as Ii swept through the leaf
less snow-covered trees; the laborlng and
wearied spirit drew nearer, and nearer, to
its goal the blood languidly coursed
slower and more slowly through its chan
nels-the noble heart s,opped-strugglcd
futtcred - the right hand
slowly slid from the wrist, upon which its
finger had been placed--it fell at the side
and the manly efligy of Washington
was all that remained, extended upon the
death couch.'

The Naturalist.

Were we TO write of the dawn Of the
year, of the new races of blossoms and OF
birds that are all around us, springing
into life, our efforts can give but one ell
joyment to the reader. But he who goes
out to observe, has pleasure in every way
that it can come, and health along with it.
The beauty of the flowers and their fra
GRANGE, the elegant forms and varied tin,s
of the birds, their busting activity and
sprightly conduct, and the music of their
songs; the sportive gambols of the young
animals and the tender solic,ude that is
shown for them by the old, all that is,
and all that occurs in the earth the wa
ters and the air, is a constant creation, a
daily, nay, an hourly springing up ornew
worlds; and he who lives one spring in
the open air, may watch the whole pro-
gress of a hundred generations. Nature
is the "voice all over" and whether she
speaks to one Of the senses, or TO them
all, she always speaks instruction.

Eflni-rscad Indians.

AS the mode of tlatiening heads pursued
at the present day by the Indian tribes
termed Fiat HeadS, inhabiting the lower
part of the Columbia River, cannot but be
interesting to the reader, the following de-
scription by Catlin, not however remark
able for perspicuity of language, is pre-
scented. The subject is a Chinook woman,
with her infant in her arms undergoing
the process oil. fatening, which is done
by placing its back on board or thick
plank, to which it is dashed with thongs
to position from which it cannot escape,
and the back Of the head supported by
sort of pillow, made of moss or rabbit
skins, with an inclined piece resting on
the forehead of the child; being every
day drawn down little tighter by means
of cord, which holds it in its place, until
i! at length touches the nose thus form
ing straight line from the crown of the
head to the end of the nose
Another mode described by the same
observer consists in placing the child in
a sort of cradle, "dug out Of a log of
wood, with a cavity just large enough to
admit the body of the child, and the head
also, giving ii room to expand in width;
while from the head Of the cradle there is
sort of lever, with an elastic spring to
il, that comes down on the forehead of
the child, and produces the same effects
as the one have JUS, described. The
child is wrapped up i'll rabbits skins, and
placed in this little collin-like looking
cradle, from which it is net, in some IN
stances, taken ont for several weeks. The
bandages over and about the lower limbs,
and as high up as the breast, are loose,
and repeatedly taken off in the same day,
as the child may require cleansing; but
the head and shoulders are kept strictly
in the same position, and the breast given
to the child by holding it up in the cradle,
loosing the outer end Of the lever that
comes over the nose, and raising it up or
turning i, aside SO as to allow the child TO
come at the breast, without moving its
head. The length of,imc that the infants
are generally carried in these cradles, is
three, five, or eight weeks, until the bones
are so formed as to keep their shapes, and
preserve this singular appearance through
Hre."
An interesting description Of the instru-
ment and process by which the same
tribes compress the skull, is also given by
Morton. Besides the depression of the
head" he remarks. the face is widencd
and projected forward by the process, so
as ma,eriallyt to diminish the facial anglo ;
the breadth between the parietal bon s Is
greatly augmented, and striking iIregu'
larty of the two sides of the Uranium al.
most invariably follows; yet the absolute
internal capacity of the skull is not dimin'
ished, and, strange as it may seem, the
intellectual faculties suffer nothing. The
latter fact is proved by the concurrent tes'
timony of all travellers who have written
on the subject" An analogous fact may
be afforded by the spine in case of hump
back; for, although distorted, it yet re-
tans its functions.
