A CURIOUS STORY.

A few days before the fall of Rouen, Ia city
of France beseiged by the royalist army, and
blended by the Protestants during the civil war
produced by the Reformation in Fsance,) a
Protestant gentleman, named Francis Seville,
was wounded in the face by au arquebuse, and
having fallen apparently dead, was carried
away and buried, with fifteen or sixteen others
AT night his servant brought horse for his
master, at the foot of the rampant, where, on
meeting the Count of Montgomery, he was in
formed that Seville was dead and buried, The
groom, an old faithful servant of the house, in
sisted upon having The body to carry back to
the relations of the dead officer; and Montgo-
merry accordingly sent one of his suite to show
him where the corps had been inferred. The
groom Immediately caused them to be taken
out OF their hasty graves, but finding them so
disfgured with wounds, blood, and clay, that
1t was impossible to recognize the features OF
any one, he replaced the bodies and cast the
earth lightly over them again. While return
ing TO his quarters, feeling of remorse at the
careless manner, in which he and his compa-
Mons had re-interFed the dead, took possession
of him, and he returned to the spot to cover
their remains more completely, lest the dogs
should disturb their last resting place in the
night. The sun had by this time set, but in
recovering one of the bodies, he saw, by the
light of the moon, diamond ring, of peculiar
form, on the hand. and instantly, by that to-
ken, recognized the corpse of his master. Be
ing carried to an inn, Seville displayed some
signs of life, and his fai thful servant having
called several surgeons, besought them to en-
ploy their skill upon his master. The number
of wounded, however, did not allow them tc
occupy their time with hopeless case, and
they refused to give him any attention. The
groom subsequently procured physician, and
one of Seville's friends, who saw that, though
three days had by this time elapsed since thai
officer had been buried as dead, he still brea thed
and his teeth having been forced open, some
wine and other nourishment was administered
to him. While they were iaboring earnestly
to restore him to health, the town was storm.

put to death without mercy, found the wound

having been accidentally thrown over him from
a loft above, he remained three days in this un
wholesome bed, where he was at length found
still living by one of his cousins. He was then
carried secretly out of the town, and under
skilful treatment perfectly recovered.
He lived for more than forty years after these
events, and whenever he was ca lied upon &c

THE JOURNAL.
FRIDAY MORNING, MAY1s.

ACCIDENT. yesterday while our weekly
paper was being worked off, we unfortunately
broke part ofour press, which brought every
Thing to dead stand for a short time, and we
greatly feared would prevent our issuing our
paper at all to day. but the skill and exertions
Of Mr. JAMES PARyIa, whom we called to our
assistance, soon set US going again, not how
sver, without a yexatious delay. To this
cause IS owing the want of interest ia our col
umns this morning. We Feeeiged large mail
on yesterday but had no time to look into it.
By tie way, speaking of ParyiR. we have had
10 call on him frequently Of late in his line,
and we can assure the public that he is one of
the quickest, neatest, and best of workmen in
iron, and deserves an immense patronage. We
owe him our thanks for getting us out of sew
eral difficulties of the sort we allude to.

Extract from Bishop Doane's Address at Bur-

''When you have found man, you have not
far to go to find gentleman. You cannot
make gold ring out of brass. You cannot
change Cape May chrystal, to diamond. You
cannot make gentleman till you have first
made man. To be gentlemen it will,
not be sufficient TO have had a grand
father.
To be gentleman, does not depend upon
the tailor, or the toilet. Blood will degenerate
Good clothes are not good habits. The prince
Lee Boo concluded that the hog, in England,
was the only gentleman, as being the only
thing that did not labor. A gentleman is just

q gentleman is gentle. A gentleman is mod

generous. A gentleman is slow to take Of

that never thinks it. A gentleman goes armed

O-The foil owing bold prediction is from
an article in the n. Y. Evening Post, touching
upon the recent foreign news. We presume it
TO be from the pen of Mr.. Bryant;
The priEciple'of the sovereignty of the peo-
pie, which is the corner stone of the French
revolution, is destined TO triumph in every
quarter OF Europe. England, Russia and Tur-
key, in acknowledging the French Republic,
have admitted the truth of this principle. Ii
will yet reduce every crowned head in Europe
and the aristocracy that sustain throne, to a
level with the humblest citizen. The sover-
eighty of the people and the sovereignty of a
king by hereditary descent can meyer exist to-
gether.
We fear not to predict the entire abolition
of monarchical government in Europe, and the
exaltstion of the people that sovereignty which
is their birthright. We hope the day is at
hand when mankind will believe what the
Deity told the inhabitants of Palestine centu-
ries ago-that king in his best estate was a
curse.

DISEASE OF THE HEART, RUPT URE AND
DR0PSY

NEw YORK July, D, 1876
Dr. TowNsEND-Dear Sir My wife has been af-
6cted with terrible rapture for fifteen years,
the greater pant Of the time She has been troubled
with shortness OF breath great utterng OF the heart
which has been very distressing, and has frequently
been uuable to leave her bed. The rupture was very
large and severe. She tried almost every remedy for
such cases with but little benefit. When she had ia
ken but three bottles OF your excellent medicine she
was entirely relieved of the disease of the heart and
the rupture has almost entirely disappeared.
She has also had the dropsy, and ives very much
fitted, as she had such complication of diseases
But it has, as strange it may appear relieved her
of the dropsy am aware that this statement is SO
strange as to appear almost like fiction, but 1t Is
sober reality Your Sarsaparila is certainly yalu
able medicine and should be used by every that
suffering as we have been. If any disbelieve this
account, they are at liberty to call at my house and
have ocular demonstrations Yours, respectfully,
