erybody's surprise he was indicted by the
Grand Jury for neglect of Official duty, upon
which he was succeeded in ONCE by the pros
ecuting attorney, j. n. Edgar, ESQ. Tn g
clerk Of the Court, MIR. Turner, was also in.
dicted by the same jury, for similar offence
An effort to have the Treasurer and Recorder
indicted failed. What the result win be We

An AMERICAN LADY TO BE QUEEN OF Ma
PLEs.-it is rumored that Louis Napoleon de-
sires to put his cousin, Lucien Murat-a few
years ago a planter in Florida-on the throne
Of Naples. Murat is good natured person,
but has neither energy nor wit enough to
make king in times like these. He has,
however, one great advantage to back him,
which no king in Europe can brag Of, for he
has Yankee wife-and she is not onlv a
handsome woman, still, but has intellect, en-
ergy and decision enough to keep her hus-
band on the throne without the aid of po-
lice. What novelty! A genuine Yankee
lady transferred into regular Queen, and
Queen Of Naples, too the loyeliest spot in
the world-not more famous for its Vesuyius
and Pompeii than for it's unrivalled maccaro-
nj and soup. This may lead, if she gets
there, to the final settlement Of tbs inextri
cably Italian problen-for by making the
late Mrs. Mnrat, late of Florida, and now a
princess at Paris, Queen Of Naples and EN-
press OF Italy, we may see, ut least, this
beautiful land restored to content and htYmo-
ny, for the Republican party would be salts
ned to see Yankee in power, whilst the roy
alists would make no objection as long a.
she was an Empress.

g One morning after having said mass. |
felt symptoms of cholera. | had difficulty
OF breathing amounting almost to suifoca-

my arms and legs that could not feel a hot
iron applied to them. just then Chinese
Christian came in TO see me, and as soon az
he looked at me he said, Father, YOU have
the cholera To be certain, however. he
looked under my tongue, and observing the
peculiar blackness of the veins there, he re-
marked that unless applied remedy speed
y would not live till night. ] told him to
do what he could for me. He took an ordi-
nary pin and began pricking me under the
tongue until he drew out from ten to twenty
let-black drops of blood. Then, after rub
bing my arms gently, he tied string very
tightly about each one of my fingers, and
pricked each one on the outside at the root Of
the nails until he brought a drop or two of
the same kind of blood from each Then, to
see whether the operation had been success
full or not, he prieked me with the same in
the arm, very near the vein that is usually
opened in blood letting, and seeing no blood
issue, he pronounced it satisfactory. Istill
felt, however, a fearful oppression on the
lungs. To relieve this, he ran the pin into
the pit of my stomach; about two-thirds Of
its length. This operation the Chinese cali
opening the mouth Of the hearth Not a
drop of blood came out here, but in a mo-
ment felt myself entirely relieved, my blood
began its circulation, my natural warmth re-
turned, and after an hour Of slight fever
went about my avocations. This is the ordi-
nary Chinese remedy. have known it to be
applied to five of our fathers in cholera, and

/ FEARcUs O'CoNNoR, the once celebrated
Chartist, is dead. He was found in miscra
| bic lodging in Islington, where he was nurs
ed and cared for in his idiot dissolution, BY
one self-sacriicing woman - his sister,
Feargus O'Connor was born in 1896, in Cork
the empire county of Ireland. He was de-
scended from long line of Irish Kings, q
| small portion of whose vast possessions lin
gered in the family when he was born, but
have since passed into other hands. Ances-
try was all he had to boast of.--[Ex. Paper.
No, not all he had to boast Of. He had
something higher, worthier, nobler than that.
He wished for the triumph of popular rights
in the British empire. He labored with
zeal, an energy, and persistence of spirit
which is above all praise, to secure for his
countrymen specific and permanent charter,
ernbodying Annual Parliaments, Vote by Bal
lot, Universal Suffrage, and the domain and
use of the Land for the People. He was no
demagogue. In the ordinary sense of the
word, he was not ambitious. Titles or hon
ors or preferments had no great attraction
for him, and never sweryed him from his
higher aim. He was ambitious Of serving
the people to their great advantage, Of Sc
curing their liberties, of standing we'll In
their affections, and of earning an honorable
name as benefactor of his kind. For this
he sacrificed all he had, place, for
tune, and all other hopes. For this he gave
all his conceded talent, his utmost influence,
his life. For this he consented TO be account
ed by the aristocracy and the cultivated class
es of politicians and people as vulgar re-
former, and cut himself of from the ease
and pleasures of the class among which he
was born. For this he labored, with an equal
and unremitting zeal, when skies were bright
or dark. He labored long, and to the last,
and when the sun of his hopes went down,
with ruined fortune, health impaired, desert
ed BY summer friends, so ardent and earnest
and single-minded had been his aims, that
gloom settled over his intellect, and Feargus
O'Connor went down TO the grave bereft of
reason. All this was his boast, and more is
this to boast of than the blood of thous-
and kings.
