public repute. The opulent merchants of the
North were for peace and compromise in 1850
now they are either silent and inactive, or
abetting the aboltionists. Then New York
was the bulwark of the Union-now it is the
focus of incendiary agitation. The Clergy and
the religious press Of the North threw the
weight of their influence on the side of Adjust
ment, during the controversy OF ls5O,-in the
struggle of 1854 they act with the extremists
and counsel violence. And, these combined
forces exhibit an energy in action, an exaspera.
ton of spirit, and vindictiveness of purpose,
which startle the friends of the Union, and
portend coming struggle.
1t were bootless to inquire into the causes OF
this sudden resurrection and increased energy
of the anti.sIavery fanaticism. The fact how.
ever, furnishes lesson by which the South
may profit. There can oe no compromis with
abolitionism. Every concession but whets its
appetite, and inAames its pride. 1t aims at the;
ruin of the South and will not stop short of its
purpose 1t will keep no faith and abide by

cause or prepare for the struggle Hereafter
we apprehend there will be 10 diversity Of
opinion in respect to the proper policy for the
South. No concession, no compromise, no
parley must be the watchword Of Southern
men.

Death of the Marquis Of Anglesea'

The Canada brings news of the recent death
in England, of Henry William Paget, Marquis
of AngIesea. He was the eldest son OF the
late Earl of Uxbridge, and was born May IL,
1868, so that he had reached the great age OF
eighty-six years. His military service COM
menced in 1893 He served in Flanders IN
l794, in Holland in 1899, and 1905, as Ma,
ior G eneral under Sir John Moore, he served
in the Peninsula one of his exploits being the
routing, with 400 men, ola detachment OF 9Oo
French troops, taking 200 prisoners. lie also
did excellent service at Mayaga, at Benevento'
(where he captured Gen. Lefebvre,) and at
Corunna. From 1906 to 1912 he was in par
lament, and in the latter year, on his fathers
death, succeeded to the arldom of Uxbrldge.
He commanded the troops in the suppression
of the London corn law riots in the spring OF
1875. He was then placed at the head OF the
cavalry in the armo in Flanders. At the bat
tie of Waterloo he rendered brilliant service,
and lost one of his legs. Five daS S afterwards
he was created Marquis of Any !rsee, and sub
sequenlly received many other honors and de
corations from the British and several foreign
governments He became unpopular during

all your wives be like herr In 1927 he was
made master general Of the ordnance, and in
1928 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, an office that
he administered very much to the satisfaction
of the Irish people. In consequence of his ap..
proval of Catholic emancipation, which he at
terwards advocated in Parliament, lie was re-
called in 1928, much to the grief of the people
of Ireland. He was restored soon afterwards,
and retained the vice-royaity of Ireland I'LL

his titles numerous. He was divorced from

and in 1910 married daughter of the Earl OF
Cadogan. His name has acquired certain

From the PUtsburg Post.
Louis Napoleon and the Sultan de'
seconded from American Ancestors.

The past history of the families Of Louis Ma,
poleon and the Sultan of Turkey is full of in
terestinr and marvellous incidents; some of
which arc probably, not generally known to
our readers.
These two monarchs, now so cordially uni:
ted in the struggle to maintain the integrity OF
the Ottoman Empire, are both grandsons OF
American ladies. These ladies were born and
raised in the same neighborhood, on the Island
of Martinique, one of the West Indies. They
were of French origin, and companions and
intimate friends in childhood and youth. They
were Josephine de Taschcr and Miss s..
The history ofJosephine is generally known.
She went to France, and was married to NJ. de
Beancharnais, by whom she had one son, Eu-
gene, and daughter, Hortense. Some time
after the death of Beauharnais, Josephine was
married to Napoleon Bonaparte, and became
Empress of France. Her daughter, Hortense,
was married to Louis Bouaparte, then King OF
Holland, and the present Emperor of France is
her son by that marriage.
Miss S. Quilted the island of Martinique some
time before her friend. But the vessel that
was carrying her to France was attacked and
taken by the Algerine Corsars, and the crew
and passengers made prisoners. But this Cor
sair shin was in turn attacked and pillaged Iu-
mis- pirates, and Miss S. was carried by them
to Constantinople, and offered for sale as
slave. Her extraordinary beauty and accom-
plshments found her purchaser in the Sultan
himself: and she soon became the chief lady o
the Seragio and Sultaness of Turkey Nah
mound Ii. was her son, and the present Sultan
Abdul Medjid, is the son of Mahmound.
Thus the two sovereigns who now occupy sc
large space in the worlds eye are grandson:
of Two American creole girls, who were play

A Lesson.

1t is not possible to disguise the fact that the
ant.slavery spirit of the North was ne' er SO
rampant and t-uculent as at the present mo.
ment. The comparative subsidence of aboli
ton agitation after the great struggle of 1850,
which the country took for an augury of hap
pier times, was in truth nothing more than a
temporary respite, and the fires of fanatieiSm
are burning again with more and intense fury
and a deadlier purpose. Tho Compromise
brought peace, but only for a season. The
wounds were closed, not healed, and they are
bleeding afresh. During the brief period of
silence and quescence, abolitionism restrunS
its exhausted energies and recruited its shatter'
ed force. Never did it rage with such terrible ls
and portentous power. Never did it marshall
in its ranks so much of private character and

for their beauty and excellent dispositions, as
for their varied and singular fortunes.
Both these women, in the height of their
power, remembered all the friends OF their
youth, and provided munifciently for their well
fare. Many of the relatives Of this Snltaness

The Sutaness died in 1911, the Empress

one of the most momentous and sangunary
struggles in which Europe was ever involved.

A New INSTRUMENT OF WARFARE.-The
Washington correspondent of the New York
Express, under date of May 8, says:
Several army officers were this morning en-
gagged at the arsenal in testing the qualities of
a newly invented rifle, or more properly speak.
ing, a rihe.cannon, submitted to Government
for examination and approval.
The instrument in question is very similar
to the common rifle, having the same sights,
the telescope, and grooved> barrel, the only DIFF
ference that we could discover being that one
is destitute Of stock, is upon wheels, and so
arranged that by means Of machinery it can
be elevated, depressed, or rotated, at pleasure,
while the motions of the other arc regulated
by hand.
The barrel is about three feet in length,
weighs eighty pounds, and carries one inch
balls, weighing five ounces, and also an explo-,
sive ball, which discharges its contents the in
slant it strikes any object. This rifle was tried
at target eight hundred and eighty yards
distant, about half mile, and with great ac-
curacy. nearly every shot taking effect; so far,
as we learn. it has given general satisfaction,
though the report to the ordnance department
in regard to it has not been made known.
The instrument was invented by Mr.. Gilbert
Smith, of New York.

.PANs.-A single law passed by
Congress, supposing it had the power and

of doctors and the demands for drugs, and
prove Of incalculable benefit to this and future
generations Thus: Be it enacted, that on
the first day January, 1855, every frying.pau

henceforth forever. Frying is the most un-
wholesome of all modes of cooking. Every
thing cooked by this method is saturated with

for the human stomach. No dyspeptic should
ever eat any thing fried, and no one should
do who would avoid becoming dyspeptic.-

is the worst possible mode of cooking; destroy.

renders unfit for food aud difficult of digestion
