throwing him down and drawing the wheel of
the buggy over him. Fortunately this occurred
near the place where some hands were at work
on the railroad, and one of them assisted him
home, which he reached about ten o'clock at
night. 1t was found that he was severely bruised
and cut upon the face and other parts of his bo-

THE SUCCEssIoS.-As it is with some matter
of conjecture to the succession, in conse-
quence of the death of the Vice President. we
remark that no provision is made, as none is ne
cessary in such an event. The duties Of the
Vice President limited to presiding over the

come President of the United States, until an
election could be held, according to the provis-
ions of the act of Congress of March ], 1872

having been obtained at a much lower rate than
it would otherwise have cost them by the ar

their quarters in the city, or shipped themsel-

the ladies than gentlemen, viii satisfy you how
it came to pass that women of fortune were CAL
led ladies, even before their husbands had any
title to convey that mark of distinction to them.

the practice which gave rise to it..

Rossini, or Champollion, any mention of the
state of the streets of 'sThebes with its hundred
gates;' yet We do know that Rome had sewers
and underground resources for cleanliness that

bath houses and such bath houses as any one
who has visited their ruins in Europe must know.
