ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF
THE EMPEROR.

The emperor of the French has narrowly
escaped assassination. On the evening OF
Saturday the 2Sth ult, accompanied by two
of his household, Col. Ney and Col. Vala-
breque, he. left the palace of the Tuileries in
plain clothes to take his usual ride in the
Camps E,ysees and join the Empress who
had preceded him and who was at that mo-
ment in the Alice Dauphine in the Bos de
Bouloghe. The day was fine and the grand
avenue Of the Champs Elysees crowded with
people who saluted the Emperor respectfully
as usual. As he approached the Barriere

Chateau des Fleurs well dressed darkroom.
plexioned man advanced from the pathway
ON the right and approached to within five or
six PAGES OF the Emperor. The man put one
hand to his hat as il to salute, and the Empe-
ror was lin the act of acknowledging the
supposed compliment, when the asassin--for
such he was-deliberately drew pistol from
beneath his gray paetot and deliberately fired
it at ;the Emperor. The Emperor's horse
SHE'D little at the time, and this probably
saved the,rider. A second shot was fired ere
the assassin was secured, but though the ball
is said by some to have grazsd the Emperor's
hat, the aim was less deliberate. and no harm
was done. Alessandri, Corsican, who is a
police agent, and usually follows the'emperor
at a little distance in brongham cob, 'obser-

tition, jumped out Of his cab for the purpose
of preventing this proceeding, which has
been prohibited. Both shots were fred before
Alessandri could seize the culprit, and when
seized the latter struggled SO violently that
the police-agent found it necessary to STAG
him with his ponard. He was then secured
and carried to The Prefecture Of Police, while
the Emperor rejoned the Empress amid the
most ..hearty icheers and congratulations of
the people. The name Of the assassin is
Pianori. lie is an Italian and was, it is said
volunteer in Caribald's army. Since the
taking of Rome by the French lie is stated
to have lived chiefly in England. Various

Hints TO school Teachers.

In teaching definitions, aim to give an idea
of the proper application of words, G. e., CT
the circumstances in which they should be
employed,) as well as of the equivalent or sy.
nonymous word. This will obyiate the dam
mtted by the man who went for the first time
to attend court and heard the Judge say to the
attendant, "Ertincuish those lamps" He
turned to neighbor and inquired the mean
ing of ertinguish. To put out, was the reply.
Pleased with this addition to his vocabulary,
he resolved to use it hereafter. Soon after
mis- return home pig entered the house; -
"John," said he to his son, "extnguish that
pig in an instant"
Too much care Gun hardly be taken to give
scholars correct ideas of those words in our
language which are pronounced alike, but
spelled differently. Let little time be spent
nearly every day in making your pupils fa-
milar with the few hundred words of this
class, and they will not be liable TO the mis-
take of the boy who had been told not to say
tale but narrative, who soon after requested
his mother to make the dog stop shaking his
narrative.
A good method Of awakening interest in
spelling is to write on the blackboard exam
Piles of incorrect spelling seen upon signs, or
in manuscript letters. "Grocerie, ""Shaveing
and Hair cutting" .."For Ladys," "Wuggon
shop" are some of the signs which may be
seen at certain Of the towns in Ohio. The
following verdict is said to have been given
by jury in Georgia, in the case of A. John.

Candidates for Sunreme Judges


1t has been suggested that the selection Of
Judge Kennon and Chase for the Supreme
bench of Ohio would be nominations fit to be
made. Such are our sentiments. Judge
Kennon is the nominee of the Locofoco State
conventions; but ii is we'll known that he
has no sympathy with that party. either on
the slavery question or the other wild dog
mas of The party. II is equally we'll known
that he was not placed upon the 9Th of Janu-
ary ticket on account of any love entertain
ed for him by that party. lie was homina-
ted on the grounds LIST, Because it was tho't
that.he would add strength 10 their ticket; g.
Cd, on the ground thot they expected COM
plete overthrow Of the entire ticket, and there
was no other man in their ranks whose over
throw would cause SO little regret OF the part
of the leaders Of that party as Judge kcnnon.
The above from the Athens Messenger is
on q subject which the editor Of thatI paper
knows nothing about. The man who says
that Judge KENNoN "has no sympathy with
the Locofoco party" is most egrcgiously mis-
taken. We agree with the Messenger in ali
he says in commentator of Jud &c. KS abili-
ty as judicial officer and all that, but we
know him to be h full blooded Den ocrat, dy

cy! He made a speech at the last Loco rocc
County convention held in this county, nj
which convention resolutions were passed
endorsing the principles of the Nebraska bill
and in that speech he exhorted the "unter.
rified" to stand firm in the traces-to beware
of traitors in their ranks who endeavored tc
enticc them from their party, and excite dis
affections in their ranks. Is not this sympa
.hy with Locoforoism!
All, no, brother Van Vorhes it is plain Il
be seen you have been misinlormcd on thi
! subject. What we have said above is know
to every citizen of this region, and it is ais
notorious that Judge KENsoN stands at tn
head and front of the Democratic party il

himself refuses to make any disclosures as to
confederates, and states that his enmity TO
the Emperor wns entirely personal; that hc
was shoemaker in Rome when the French
captured that city and that she suffered
grievously from the bombarcment. This
story however, meets with no credence.
1t is believed piAnor was in London during
the Emperor's visit that he would then
have carried out his purpose Of shooting
Napoleon had he not been prevented by the
great concourse of people everywhere atten-
ding the visitors. While in paris he lived in
two well furnished rooms in the Faubourg
st. Honore the rent of which he had paid
month in advance A considerable sum Of
money was found in his rooms, and the pis-
tolls foui d on him were Of a costly descrip-
ton and very well made. The prisoner re-
mains in close custody at the Prefecture. Ho
is recovering from the effects Of his wound,
but is in a very excited state, rage and fear
appearing to keep him in perpetual delirium.
He is confined in a strai,-waistcoat, and
tailor sleeps Mt the foot OF his bed. He is
to be tried before the Court of Assizes of the
Seine about the middle Of May Congratu-
lations upon his escape have poured in upon
the Emperor on every hand, and his appear
ance at the Opera with the Empress on the
night of the attempt was the occasion of an
immense outburst of loyalty and enthusiasm;
The Emperor has declined to receive formal
audiences of congratuation, though an ex.
ception has been made in regard to the British
residents in Paris. A crowded meeting of
British residents was held OIL Wednesday,
the 22d, in the Ballroom of the British EN-.
bassy, under the presidency of the Eal OF
Denbigh, and there an address, moved by the
Earl of Donoughmore and seconded ey The
Earl of Mayo, was unanimously adopted
The Corporation of London have also adopted
q similar address,
The organs of the Fusionist and orleanist
parties have not said word in condemnation n
of the crime, but have published the official
account foth the Monitear without COM
meht.
The most spirited and active preparations
are making for the Great Exhibition, the
opening of which has been postponed to the
18th 1t is said that the Queen of England
and Prince Albert will visit Paris in August.

011-The Slave Democracy orvarous states
are Growing most Justify over the result Of
the recent election in Virginia. We cannot
see what they are growing about. Pierce
carried the State by upwards Of $4,000 ma
jority, and Wise said he would not. consider
himself elected if he had not more than 49,.
600. But the returns show an aggregate o.
about 10000 majority for Wise. No victory
at all--but loss of 5000 from Pierce's ma.
jority For an infant party, as the Ameri.
can party is, we think it did remarkably
well in the tilt against Locolocosm in the
model old Jogy State of the UEion, where the
natives are still voting for Jackson for Pres
dent, and where it is penal offence to teacl
an immortal soul to spell the name ofi,s Gre
ator.

Our Sagh Nicht noighbor down town is
trying very hard to prove that the Know No.
things are guilty oil exciting the mobs, &C.,
in Kanzas. This il simply absurd. He rca-
sons somehow after this fashion:-The Know
Nothing order is n secret political organizu-
tion the armed hordcs which Vice President
Atchison headed to vote slavery into Kansas
were members Of u secret political organiza-
tion--Mcrcforo---thcy are Know Nothings.--
The same logic will prove that brother Ores
singer and his political friends voted slavery
into Kansas. Thus:-D. X. AichiSon and
his supporters voted slavery into Kansas
brother Gressirgcr and his political friends
are supporters OF Atchison--therefore Gres-
singer and his friends voted slsvery into Kun
sas. Try again, Stephen your logic is Iamo
and delec,ive--iaulty in the premises, and
upon the whole rather piebald array.
1t Is pluin 20 every one that it is the pres.
ent Administration that is moving in these vi.

law in Kansas. Who, then, would suspec,

Who would suppose that ID r. Atchisoa
