THE CLAIM OF JEROME BoNAPARTE, for his
back pay, is said to be feeler put forth by the
Prince President "to test public sentiment in
relation to several others, amounting in all to
many millions, which various members of the
Bonaparte family are only waiting what they
deem favorable moment to press. The recep-
ton extended to the ex- Kings feeer is not of a
nature to encourage the urging at present of
the other claims.

WILLIS vs.. FoRREsT.-This is a suit for as-
sault and battery, now pending before the Su-
preme Court in the city of New York. The facts
of the case appear to be briefly given in the
following, which is corroborated by the testi-
mony of other Witnesses s
"Philip Guilager, young lad about sixteen
years of age, deposed When this affair took
place | resided at 222 Thompson street, near
Washington square; l was in the square in the
afternoon of the 18th June; Witnessed the oc-
currence between Mr.. Forrest and Mr. Willis
it was about six o'clock in the afternoon was
sitting on bench located near McDougal and
4th streets, near the corner on the south side
Mr.. Forrest, when | first observed him, was
standing behind tree near a gate, corner Of
McDougal and 4th streets; person entering
the gate at the corner would not notice him
when behind that tree; | ascertained since theI
that Mr. Williss house was in 4th street, be.
tween McDongal and 9th avenue, about half a
block from the square he came in at the gate,
corner OF McDougal and 4th streets Mr.. For
rest was behind the tree when Mr.. Willis went
up the path, which would bring him past the
tree, behind which Mr.. Forrest was standing ;
could not tell how far Mr. Willis had gone up
the path | should suppose it was about twenty
hye yards; Mr.. Forrest came out from behind
the tree, ran up behind Mr.. Willis, and knocked
him down; he struck him Immediately he ap-
preached him !; he struck him with his fist on
the back of the neck Mr.. Willis fell on his
face; Mr.. Forrest wrenched cane from Mr..
Willis, and struck him with it more than once !;
l can't tell the number of times; he then took
out o cowhide from his BOSOM he struck him
with that | can't tell how many times; police
men came up, arrested them, and took both to
the police office; while Mr.. Forrest wsa strk-
ing him, Mr.. Willis to rise, but Mr.. For
rest held him down collar of his coat
did not notice any persons apparently in COM
pany with Mr.. Forrest when he was behind the
tree; noticed no interference before the police
came up; but there was n gentleman standing
by II don't think l could recognise him now !;
| ran right up to where they were; l mentioned
to n person who was with me that there was
row."
Forrest desires to give in evidence the provo
cation he had received: in other words, to en-
ter the plea Of justification.

A FILTRATION. The Manchester Democrat
relates the following incident, in which one Of
our countrymen figured:
young American gentleman "a Mr.. P,
who is visiting Paris with the g old folks went
to masked ball to see the elephant, and to
have some fun. His great desire was to meet
an angel Of the fair sex. He first looked all
round, waiting to make decision the moment
ne should ind a fine waist and small feet.
THESE beauties he discovered in domino of
small hgure, who took his arm and began to
intrigue with him. The lady told him his name,
the city of the United States from which he
was, and, after all these preliminaries, she re-
lated to him many flirting excursions which he
had made last year ut Saratoga and Newport
All these things, whispered in good English,
were very puzzling to Mr.. P; and, in order
to lind out who was his fair companion, he in
vited her to supper in u private cabinet. The
lady first refused but after some time she con-
sented, and the couple started in a carriage for
the well-known restaurant of Vachette, where
all the Americans take their meals cabinet
was opened the petit souper was ordered; and
when they came to eat it, the lady was obliged
to take off her mask. Mr.. P discovered
in her--whom Guess it. You give it up?,
Yes. She was his mother The romance was
over, and he took the joke the best way he
could. Mrs. 2. is one of the prettiest women
in Paris; and no one when looking at her
considering the freshness of her complexion and
the beauty of her charms would suppose that
she had son twenty-three years Of age.
The USE OF THINKINd.-Galileo when under
twenty years OF age, was standing one day in
the metropolitan church of Pisa, when he OBJ
served lamp, which was suspended from the
ceiling, and which had been disturbed by acci-
awi hap plyw. .rJu nd r1o
was thing so common, that thousands no doubt
had observed it before; but Galileo, struck with
the regularity with which it moved backwards
and forwards, reflected on it, and perfected the
method, now in use, Of measuring time by means
of the pendulum.

And out they went, with brave intent,
To wait the coming foe,
To strike for ancient Bladensburg,
And lay the tyrants lowl
Still sometimes here would child appear,

Crossing in haste the sandy street,
Or whispering, sore afraid;

To fire, and sword, and pillage!
And up the bold militia marched

Came also to the ground: ....
For higher prize allured the eyes
Of Englands martial host
Than Bladensburg, with all its wealth
And old renown, could boast.

THE LOST TRAvELLER.-Among the nume-
rous victims, distinguished travellers, whose
lives have been sacrificed to the perils of Afri-
can discovery the world has almost forgotten
that Of the unfortunate Jacques Compagnon,
who, under the auspices of the Duke de Choi-
seul, left Senegal in 1853 to explore the coun-
try to the north and east of Senegamba pene-
trating as far as the wooded desert of Simboni,
where he was heard from in 1850, and then dis
appeared, never, it was supposed, to be heard
from again. After ninety years of mystery and
oblivion, however, the veil has been removed,
and the secret of his fate has been disclosed by
Nj. de Gaysa, q Hungarian explorer in Africa,
from whom a letter has been received by the
Imperial Society of Vienna, disclosing the dis
coveries which seem to place the fact beyond
question, besides giving it a very interesting
aspect nj. de Gaysa writes from the country
of the Kommenis, a semi-civilized tribe, who
have some religious notions possessing GER
tain analogy with the Christian tradition, a
regular language, an alphabet, and mode of
writing" all or most of which they appear
from their own account, to have derived from a
stranger, European, who died among them in
1875, and whose memory was revered as that
of sage, or good genius. That this stranger
was Jacques Compagnon was proved by q num-
ber of circumstances, not the least conclusive
of which was several personal relics, regarded
by the people as sacred, one being quadrant,
with his name engraved upon it in full. 1t
would SEEM from such accounts and traditions
as M. de Gaysa was able to gather, that Com
pagnon was detained by the Kommenis, and,
being reconciled at last to his captivity, devoted
himself to instructing them in the useful arts
His tomb, consisting of ga little stone monu,
ment of conical form, covered with an inscrip.
ton in hieroglyphical characters" was pointed
out to the Hungarian visiter in one of their
principal villages.
