Mrs. Howard has claimed the guardian
ship of her children, and the court, we
learn, has awarded her right. The prop
erty they will inherit from the late Capt.
Howard will amount, it is estimated, to
nearly $4O.OOO.-Cin. Eng.
Mrs. Howard is decidedly ''heroine." +"
We mentioned day or two since that
she had abducted her children from this
neighborhood We have since learned
further particulars of the circumstances.
According to our information, she gained
access to the little girl, who was at a
convent, by pledging her word that she
would use no illegal or forcibIe means to
get possession of :he child. The guardian
of the children was not at home when
the application was made at his residence,
but under this solemn promise his lady
consented TO accompany Mrs Howard to
the convent When they had arrived
there, the lady superior, by request. brought
forward the child, when the mother, seiZ-
ing it, threw aside her shawl. and ex-
posed belt of pistols, declaring her in
tention to carry off her child at all hazards,
and saying, II haze killed one a0onaan,
and I can kill others s I am opposed
The ladies, struck with CONSERVATION,
made no resistance, and soon after Mrs.
Howard, with her child, entered d carriage
and departed.
Returning to the house of the guardian.
Mrs. Howard and her male friend-who
seemed to be passive spectator of what
was going on-met with the little boy,
when he too was taken possession OF. and
carried off,
Howard was divorced from his wife in
1916, i'll Kentucky, at which time the
court decreed to him the guardianship OF
his children. The mother afterwards OBJ
tanned them by stratagem, but finally re-
liuquished the boy to his father by the
payment of five hundred dollars. The
girl was more recently obtained from her,
we are told, III a similar manner.

Mrs. PAR TINGToN ON THE PACIFIC RAIL
RoAD.-Thirty thousand dollars worth of
Specific Railroad stock taken. Well,
wonder what kind of stock they are going
to use to expel the railroad, as it flays on
its course as if on the minions of pledg-

cannous, great taverns. big basins, and
other characteristics of galvanic legend,
whether they are horses, oxen or mules.

DEATH OF MIDsHIPMAN BAYARD We
learn. (says the Philadelphia Inquirer)
with much regret, that Charles Carroll
Bayard, passed midshipman i'll the U.
States Navy, and the son of a distinguish
ed citizen Of Philadelphia, died at Naples
on the 22d o: February last. in the 22d
year Of his age He was young man Of
rare virtue and brilliant promise. We
sincerely condole with his bereaved rela-
tives and friends His death was occa-
stoned by wound received from stone
thrown from the crater Of Vesuvlus. while
he was standing in company with other
officers OIL the side of the mountain
The eruption alluded to was one OF the
most brilliant and tremendous that has
been witnessed for many years. 1t was,
moreover. remarkably sudden, as none oi
the usual signs had preceded il. letter
states that the mountain literally roared
with the efforts il made to disgorge itself
The noise was like the firing Of cannon
at sea. and at every discharge there was
thrown up mass of lava and rocks, when
at night looked like balls of fire. GUIDE
who was on the mountain at the time'
says:
"In the middle of the mountain towards
Somma, in an instant. grotto was iorin'
ed full Of stalactites of salt and marine
salt. l was about to gather some p'''
ton OF It when the grotto began TO open
as If under the influence of an earthquake
and as fed, / found that my clothes
were burned upon my back. Had | not
quickenea my speed. my life would have
been sacrificed. for, in the same moment,
there issued forth current of lava iof'y
palms i'll breadrh-whence, as also iron,

liShtnings. In ten minutes, the lava ei'
tended to the foot of Somma. forming
most wonderful and beautiful scene.

DEATH OF JOHN c. CALHOUN.

The Hon. John G. Calhoun died at
Washington City at 2 o'clock on Sunday
morning the 31st uft. His remains were
inferred in the Congressional bury;ng
ground on the Cd inst, where they would
remain until preparations were made for
their removal to South Carolina.
The following dispatch gives full par
ticulars of the event:
Second Dispatch. last words of
Mr.. Calhoun were, Il am resting now
very easily" None of his family, save
one of his sons. was present. Mr.. Vena-
BILE. of N. c., who occupied :he next
room. was called in. MIR. Calhoun ex-
tended to him his hand. His eyes were
very bright, and he was perfectly con-
scious, but did not speak. MIR. Venable
found that he had no pulse, and poured
out part of glass of madeira. MIR. Cal
houn raised his head and drank it, and
sank back upon his pillow.
Mr.. Orr, and d Wallace. of S. e..
came ;n-when the door closed MIR. Cal
houn turned his eyes in that direction,
and was perfectly conscious OF every thing
that passed. He pressed his sons hand
convalsively, his eyes being very express
sive, his voice could not be heard, and
when some one leaned over him, as if to
listen, he moved his mead as if to say, 81
cannot speak" His breathing was very
hard until five minutes previous to his
death; one hand rested on his breast. the
other he raised and placed it once or twice
upon his head; probably the last determi-
nation of the blood to the head panied
him. His last respiration was long and
deep. like long drawn sigh. He ex-
pired as easy as an infant, and was per-
fectly composed until the last spark OF
life had fed. His funeral will take place
Monday; the body will be placed in a
metal coffin, and deposited in the Con-
gressional burying ground vault, where
two of his children are entombed, there
to remain until the wishes of Mrs. Cal
houn are made known.

The CAPlToL.-The proposed altera-
tion of the capitol at Washington, will
add 800 feet to its length. New chambers
being contemplated in the additions for
the House and Senate. the present Senate
Chamber will be used for the Supreme
Court, and the House of Representatives
for the Library If the alteration can be
made without destroying the beauty of
the building, no person can object to it,
as the present accommodations for the
Supreme Court and Library are entirely
inadequate.

The PRESIDENTS PLAN-A correspon-
dent of the n. Y. Express, writing from
Washington under date of March 3d.,
says:
MIR. Dawson addressed the Senate to-
day. on the leading topic before the coun-
try. It's not too much to say that it is
one of the best, most direct-tothe-point
speeches of the session. Senator D talks
earnestly, lodges nothing, and when he
has done with his subject you feel certain
that he has said precisely what he thinks,
no more, or no less.
The substance of Mr.. Dawson's "argu-
ment" is the plan of the President, so far
as the the Mexican acquisitions are con-
cerned. He made powerful, elaborate
and convincing effort upon the propriety
of allowing persons claimed as fugitive
slaves the right of trial by jury, to deter
mine the question of fac: whether they
were fugiIives from labor liable to recov-
cry as such, under the provisions of the
constitution. He contended with great
force of reasoning that such trial of
the fact was safer, more conservative and
reliable than any other form of trial that
could possibly be adopted.
1t was tribunal, too, to whose decis-
ion the people of the free States would
bow with Difference, which they would
treat with respect. He quoted instances
that go far to prove the truth of his posi-
tions, instances in which shareholders had
obtained decisions from juries, in accor-
dance with the provisions of the consti-
tuition, when the communities in which
the juries were empannelled refused to
yield to the slightest demand, or even to
recognize right. The Senate seemed
to listen with earnest attention to this ar
gument.

The Red River Republican of {

The Red River Republican of the 23d
ult., publishes a call for a meeting of
citizens "in favor of opening and keeping
open all the natural drains and outlets to
Red River" Of this call the Republican
says:
We have never published call of a
meeting in favor of more extraordinary
project. 1t seems to US that the call OF a
meeting to burn the town of Alexandra
would be just as reasonable. Many drains
and outlets have been closed in this pa. ,sh,
tina; have been highly beneficial to it, by
reclaiming much valuable lands, and rem
dering them susceptible of cultivation.
BY closing few more outlets, large
additional body of land could be reclaim
ed. without doing the least injury to any
one. II, on the contrary. however, the
object of the projectors of this called
meeting was carried out. it would not
only put an end to all further reclama.
tions Of land in the parish, but would
convert into a waste, and render worth
less large portion of the best and most
highly improved land that has been al
ready reclaimed.

papers that the experiment TO manufac-
ture gas from wafer has leen fully sue
cessfuI, aud there is every probability that
it will entirely supercede gas from coal,
not only because it gives a clearer and
better light, but is also greitly more eco
nomical One great Advantage attending
it is. the simplicity of the apparatus, and
the cleanliness in making the gas, which
will allow all large consumers. or even
private dwelling houses to make it for
themselves. 1t is represented as simple
apparatus, calculated to SEPARATE water
into its original elements Of hydrogen and
oxygen. Experiments have been made
in presence of gentlemen of the highest
scientific attanments, which have result
ted in the conviction that i. will cost much
less than coal gas. and thata given num-
ber of cubic feet of it will afford four
times as much light. The Baltimore
Clipper, in allusion to a recent experirne mt
Oh the subject says:
The water gas consumed two and six
tenths cubic feet per hour. and gave a
light equal to 35 sperm candles. After
graduating the gas burne' to give light of
different powers, and testing them prop
erly, the apparatus was applied TO pipe
supplying coal gas from the Baltimore
Coal Gas Works. The same pressure
was used as for the water gas. and the
same gas burner consumed 4 feet of coal
gas per hour, and gave the light OF less
than six candles. The results were so
astounding to several of the gentlemen
present, that the experiments were re-
peated, timed and measured with the
greatest accuracy, and the results as be-
fore-namelv, water gas, consuming 2
6-1O cubic feet gave light equal to 35
candles, and coal gas, consuming4 4 feet,
gave less light than 6 candles!
The same apparatus, pressure. test:light
and gas burner were used iii one gas as in
the Other. The metre used is constructed
to divide the cubic foot into ;enths, and
so arranged as to see and regulate the
pressure accurately. The water gas was
tested at the Clipper office. and the coal
gas in the same block This rich. bril-
liant water gas is generated at about 81
So per thousand feet, including all mate
rials.
The water gas has not only heen tested
scientifically, but practically. 1t is now
used nightly in the Clipper Office. and in
one of the principal hotels in Washington
city 1t is represented as being much
pnrer than the coal gas and the probabi-
ity is, that the same intensity Of light can
be obtained for about oae-tenth Of the
cost of the Coal gas. The machinery
for its manufacture is extremely cheap.
simple and entirely safe. So cheaply is
it manufactured, that the editors of the
Clipper announce their intention TO en-
ploy it in heating their rooms, and in pro-
pelling the machinery of their office. 1t
certainly forms "new era in the history
of light. IN. 0. Bulletin.

has again appeared in his seat in the
