SINGULAR HIsroMcAL FAcT.--The New y Iork
Express brings to light singular historical fact,
which is not generally known. 1t says that Ill
1917, Russian Of cmincnce, NJ. Pozzo de Bor-
30, being then in Paris, proposed in memoir
addressed to lis Court on the Importance of re-
placing South America under the dominion Of
Spain, that the United States should be subu-
gated. He said that, "Foundcd Oh the sove-
reignty of the people, the Republic Of the United
States Of America was fire, of which the daily
contact with Europe threatened the latter with
contfagration; that. as an asylum for all innova-
tors. it gave them the meals of disseminating at
distance, by their writings and the authority of
their example, poison Of which the communi-
cation could not be questioned, as it was we'll
known that the French revolution had its origin
in the United States, that already troublesome
effects were felt from the presence of French refil
gees in the United States"
The Russian Ambassador went on to state and
argue that the conquest of the United States
was an easy enterprise; that the degree of power
to which the Americans had risen, made them
objects of fear to the European Monarchical Go
vernmcnts, dc.
The editor of the Express came in contact with
this curious paper in the State Library at Albany
in an old file oft Missouri Republican, printed
more than thirty years ago.

Louis NAPOLEON.

Notwithstanding he has the reputation Of being q
sort Of unmeaning character, with no particular mark
of greatness he has shown himself in the present
traordinary state Of affairs in France, to be man Of
iron will and determination Ifo has clothed himself
with blaze Of glory akin to that Of Ills great proto
type His actions accord with the name he bears and
certain it is few but the descendant of such as
Bonapartc, could seize the rcus Of government, by
single grasp and by his own impcrious will direct tho
affairs Of the French government. His extraordinary
power, lies in the fact that he is closely allied to the
man whom tickle France both loved and feared and at
the bare mention Of whose name, nations might well
turn pale. The present Napoleon seems to deal in
matters on large scale and docs not content himself
with moderate degree of power he wants no opposi.

regarding a splendid failure as better than petty
success Louis Napoleon has tho example OF the elder
Napoleon, who carved his way TO fame through the
rugged vscissulcs of life and under circumstances Of

DREADFUL AccIDEyr-A correspondent wri-
ting us from St. Helena Island, under date Of
the sd inst, states that on Thursday, the 29th
of January, DR.. Randell Croft, Of Greenvile,
whilst on visit to his plantation on St. Helena
Island, was accidentally shot by his driver, The
circumstances, as related by our correspondent
are as follows:-"Ihc DR.. was on his way to a
friends house with whom be was to hunt and
fish, and on riding by his negro houses stopped
to procure pair Of grains which are used for
striking fish. The driver was pushing them un-
der the seat Of the buggy, and the DR.. turned
round to caution him not to touch his gun, but
before he could speak it went off the grains
having unfortunately touched the trigger put
ting the contents through the heshy part of his
right arm. No bones were injured nor large
arteries severed The wounds, thought dread
ful to look at, the physicians think arc doing we'll
up to this time ard hope the case will terminate
favorably. Many friends are around him, and
no care and attention which their kindness can
bestow, is withheld The good wishes of the
whole Island for his speedy recovery attend him"

HoWt0 KillWOsn en-.

We commend the following extract to the at
tention of such Of our lady readers as desire to
be killed Of faShiorably, The system laid down
will be sure to produce the most sat;stactorT r2-
suits. Al! the experiments which have h'r,to-
fore tcen tried have demonstrated the complete
success of this plan Of getting woman oat of
the way without having the trouble or expense
of eoroners' nquests or murder trials Not the
least astonishing fact connected with this c;rcum-
stance is, that the ladies themselves take to It
as kindly as duck does to the water
"Were We to be called upon to devise some
mode for gradually destroying the health of all
woman kind, injuring their offspring and cutting
short their lives, in the meantime uniting them
for labor, exercise in the open air, and high ply
sical enjoyment, we should proceed somewhat in
the following manner: make an instrument Of
composition; which for convenience, we will call
"stavs." With this invest the upper two-thirds
ofthe body, and draw the strings. The effect
will be to compress the lower ribs, forcing the
contents of the lower abdomen downwards. with
constant, unalleviated pressure, which i'll due
time, will result in those female diseases which
have made the fortunes CT abdominal supporter
manufacturers.
"Another effect will be to destroy the action
of the diaphragm, so that the lower portion Of the
lungs will be entirely unused, and lie still cngor
ged with blood for ten or fifteen hours at time,
every day. Resulting from this, the blood will
not be properly dccarbonized, the fluids become
vitiated, and consumption come on in good time.
To help on this process, we would put on dress
over the apparatus, making the dress long, and
arrning it with whalebone to press down the ab-
dominal contents so that there should be no
chance of their free action. We would more
over, make it so tight about the shoulders that
the wearer should not be able to reach above her
head, without cracking five orsix hooks and eyes.
This would answer for the waist. Then we would
hang around the hips hot flannel skirt gather
ing at the small of the back, so as to make at
that point couple of inches thick and solid fan
nel Then we would add another, which should be
quilted and stuffed with ray cotton, gathered at
the back as before.
"Such as these, we would hang upon the hips
until the weight of several pounds has accumu-
lared, in the meantime seeing to it that the back
and hips were so bundled with nnumerable
thicknesses of cloth that they should always be
kept hot, perspiring, and every healthy function
of the skin become debilitated and diseased
This would assist the apparatus around the waist
in bringing on diseases peculiar to females. The
weight of the skirt, should the female attemptto
walk, would tire her very soon, in conjunction
with cutting her breath short, while the long,
heavy drapery around her limbs will efectually
prevent every free, rapid and graceful motion.

Florida Indians.-We observe, (says late
number of the Ncw-Orleans' Delta) the arrival
in this city, of Gen. LUTHER BLAKE, with depu-
tation Of Seminole Indians, from Arkansas, on
their way to Florida. The object Of the General
is to induce BowLEGs, and the remainder of the
tribe now in Florida, to migrate peaceably to the
West, Among the Indians in the Generals
suite are, ABRAM one Of the oldest aud most no.
ted warriors Of the tribe, and sister Of Bow
LEGS, through whose influence he has no doubt
Of being able to prevail on all the Indians now
remaining in Florida, to rcmoveto the West du-
ring the approaching Spring.
General BLAKEs long residence at the different
Indian Agencies has so G,milializcd him with the
character Of the Red man. as to make him most
influential amongst them, and highly useful as a
public agent.

PorrED MEArs.--It sometimes happens to the
ladies from some unforeseen circumstance, that
quantities Of cooked meats, prepared for party
that did not come off, perhaps, remain on hands,
which, for want Of knowing how to preserve, are
measurably lost. Such should be pottcd. Cut
the meat from the bone and chop fine and sea

moistcn with vinegar, wine, brandy cider. or

dish for the ten table.

"CARnY NE BACK TO OLD VIRGINIA.-lt is
probably not generally known that the division
Of the Methodist Church does not exactly follow
the geographical line between the free and slave
Safes. Districts near the borders are, il some
instances, included in conferences Oh the opposite
side. Thus the counties OF Hancock, Brooke and
Marshall in Virginia, are attached to the Iit,burg
Conference The Wheeling Gazette states that
this division is complained Of, and that the Meth
odists Of the above named counties earnestly de-
sire to be attached to the Western Virginia Con-
ference. a memorial urging the change will be
sent to the General Conference.

An INTERESTING INcIDEST.-Mr. Joseph Lea
Wits one Of our citizens, returned from California
in speaking of sights and scenes in California,
mentioned the following incident, which speaks
eloqently of the true humanity Of hearts even in
California, where selfishness and passion are sup
posed to reign with unwonted force.
During the raging of the cholera in California
young man from the State Of Mississippi, Jes-
Sc Cook, about twenty-three years Of age, who
was engaged in the laborious work Of mining,
CHANGED to meet with family from Missouri, con-
ssting of husband, wife, and two children, one Of
them an infant. Disease had attacked one Of
the children, little boy, and he soon stricken
down by cholera, and laid by the so-rowing pa
rents in little grave dug in the bank of the nv
er Soon after, the father of the child died, lea
wing only the mother and her infant daughter
Her grief was great. She was in strange land
The husband Of her youth and the first born son
of her hope had departed to the land Of spirits
and their remains were lying in their graves in
the quiet vale on the river. Her earthly sup
port had failed, and yet she clung to life for the
sake Of her infant. Strangers proved kind, and
the hand Of benevolence provided for her wants.
and the voice of kindness greeted her ears. But
disease preyed upon her, and death tore her 4
way from her tender infant, and 10y strange hands
she was buried.
The sweet loving eyes Of an infant looked up
confidently into the face Of young Cook, and a
smile wreathed its beautiful face and its delicate
little hands streachcd forth confdingly. No fe-
male was there to caress and care for it, and the
young miner with q swelling heart, and with
a trust in God and his own resources, took the
nameless infant, then only seven months DID, in
charge, and provided for it with fathers care
and mothers love. Hedaily fed and washed
and dressed it, and gave it the fond name Of his
mother, Mary; by day he cradlod it near him in
his tolls, and at night huddlcd it as an angel
child to his bosom. After while he md. ap-
plcations to various families at Sacramento City
to have the child taken care of, and offered to pay
five dollars a week, but none were disposed to un-
dcrtake the care of it, and he abandoned mining
and resolved to proceed to Orang" and there
take up land for a farm, and make a home fol
the little orphan. The simple unadorncd facts ii
this case are sufficiently touching and suggestive
without any comments from our pen.
