ships can be blown up through the agency Of

when he communicated his invention to the
Gar, he expressly stipulated that in case of war
between France and Russia, he should be at

the discovery. 1t is further stated that on u

UDr. Hunter states-in his work on the
Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,-that i'm
pure air alone will bring on consumption in the
soundest constitution. The oxygen of the air
we breathe regulates our appetite, and to the
weight of grain, the nutriment that is built
up in the system. The chye undergoes its last
vital change in the lungs, and that change de-
pends on the perfect performance ofrespiration,
and on sufficient supply of pure air When
respiration is obstructed by disease, the ap-
petite fails, and the body wastes away. When
the air brcathed is impure, the same thing takes
place. s@s.

Death Of the Duke of Parma.-The court of
st. James goes into mourning for a week on
account Of the death of this Prince, who was
one of the most worthless and notorious "rips'
in all Europe. A Humboldt or a Wilson dies
but no such set grief is indulged in. No, tits
only to the memory OF those who had royal
blood in their veins, no matter how despicab!e
they may have been, that such honors are paid.
We find in late foreign papers the following
account of the recent assassination Of the Duke
of Parma, which reveals the character of man
whose death has caused the British Court to
put on "the trappings and the suits of woe;'
ut was in sort Of low wine shop. frequented
by the lowest people, that the event occurred.
The Duke entered the common room, and was
recognized by soldier who was reading, and
who Immediately rose and saluted him,z and
then sitting down again, continued the perusal
OF the journal he was engaged with. The Duke
then, it appears, went up to him and said
What, you go on reading before your prince,
and seatede The soldier replied in low tone,J
.ln seeing your highness enter such a place,
thought you desired to remain incognito, and
feared to show you too much respect, as that
would only attract notice The Duke then
got into violent passion, and, after using most
abusive language, struck the soldier dreadful
blow with his whip, across the face. The SOL
der then, in a fit Of evaporation, drew out his
short sword, and plunged it into the lower part
Of the Dukes stomach. In the. tumuit he
succeeded in making his escape.

A Thing Worth Looking AT.

We clip the following item from the
money article of the New York Tribune for
3lst May:
About two millions of dollars of Bonds
and Mortgages held by the Ohio Life and
Trust Company upon property in Ohio, fall
due tomorrow, the required years notice
having been given last June. These Mort
cages have been running many years, and
are called in now in order to remove the
capital of the Company from the State, the
present oppressive Tax Law rendering it i'm
possible to sustain banking establishment
in that State without loss. The tax upon
this Company amounts in round numbers to
three hundred thousand dollars per annum.
If enforced we do not see that any bank can
be carried on in Ohio under the law"
There is in this little paragraph material
for long sermon; but we forbear. The
declared fact speaks plainly enough for the
dullest conception. Here we have the an
nouncement that tWO millions Of dollars is
to be withdrawn from the State. To replace
this money loaned to our farmers and man.
uiacturers and business men, at least ten per
cent. interest will have to be paid in the pres
ent condition of affairs. But the demand
must be met or the securities become Forfeit
And this is the work Of the quacks who,
without understanding the first principle of
public economy, are entrusted by the people
with the dictation of the revenue policy of
the great State of Ohio. This money was
not wanted by the Life and Trust Company;
it was considered permanent investment,
and might have remained among us stimu-
lating industry and adding wealth to the
State. The financial bodies who have man
aged our affairs for the last five years have
succeeded, as their measure of glory, in
raising interest from six and seven per cent.
70 ten per cent; have burdened our citizens
with unequal and unjust taxation; have
driven capital from our State, and are fast
subjectng the productive industry of our
people to the tender mercies of the broker and
money. shaver Is all this for the benefit of
the Democracy, or the Aristocracy 10. s.

country is also very promising, notwith-
standing apprehensions to the contrary
The season has been very favorable for
spring work, and the farmers have planted
their crops with unusual dispatch. The high
prices Of all kinds of produce will cause a
greatly increased production. Notwith
standing this increase, there is no danger of

Will create an extraordinary demand, and
