A CHANCE FOR AN INFERENcE.--In
passing down back street, a few days since,
We overheard colloquy between a couple
of darkies, and were just in time to hear
the following -
Now look 'er, Charlie, Jim mout be an
honest niger, then again he moutent,
but ef I was a chicken, and knowed that
he was about de yard, I tell yer wot, I'd
roost high, would
We were satisfied on the point of Jim's
honesty, and, therefore, pursued our on
ward course.

Singular HaHuciadtioa.-The Cincin-
natl Ohio Enquirer says MIR Francois
Ange, wealthy planter from Louisiana,
arrived iii this city yesterday, ea route for
Europe, where his friends are taking him
for the purpose, if possible, of dispelling a
singular hallucination, or species of insan-
ity, with which he is afflicted. Two years
ago he took it into his head that his pedal
extremities were paralysed, and, although
assured by eminent medical practitioners
that his understandings are as firm and
strong as they ever were, ne insists upon
being carried about like child, and not
even On alarm Of fire in his residence could
induce him to hazard a perpendicular posi-
ton. It is said that be is perfectly sane
upon all other matters.

Case Of Tran$fusion.-The delicate and
interesting operation of transferring blood
from one place to another has again been
successfully performed BY Mr.. S. Wheat
croft, surgeon, of Cannock, assisted by Mr..
j. Blackford and Mr. Samuel Wheatcroft
The patient was Mrs. Benton, Of Cannock
When apparently expiring from the loss
Of blood, about ? pound Of blood was trans
fused from the veins Of her husband into
her veins, with the happiest result. In a
few minutes after the current of blood be-
gan to flow, and the ebbing of life was
checked, the circulation being re-establish-
ed, and deliverance from apparently certain
and approaching dissolution secured. The
operation was performed on the 20th ulti-
mo. Mr.. Wheatcroft suggests the trial of
this operation in the last stage Of low ty-
phus and the collapse OF Asiatic cholera,
when all other means have failed - Wol-

Our minister said in his sermon, last

that he who wanted to do good must keep
constant lookout for opportunities; that
God does not find our work and bring it
ready fitted and prepared to the hand, but
spreads the world before Us, and We are to
wax through it as Christ and the Apostles
did, with eyes open, looking for the sick
and the suffering, the poor and the oppres-
sed.

as she replaced a marble Diana in the cen
tire of the mantle, i should ike to do some

The Union resumed its sitting yesterday, at half
past II O'Clock.
The journal was read and approved.
The Union then went into Committee of the Whole,
Mr.. Stith in the chair.
Mr.. Munday made an address on the subject of ap-
premiership, urging the necessity of coming to some
definite settlement of the question.
The question was generally discussed some of the
members contendng that one apprentice to seven
journeymen, and some that one apprentice to four
journeymen, ought to be the proportion of appren-
ticeship in printing offices.
Messrs. Soan Barnes and Cuddy opposed any &C.
ton on the question: believing that the subject should
be left to the subordinate Unions
resolution was offered for issuing circular, by
committee to be appointed to consider the matter
Lost.
| A resolution was offered declaring the considera
ton Of the subject by the National Union to be mex
pedent. Lost.
A committee was appointed by the President, to
prepare circular for circulation among the printers
throughout the United States, on the advsability Of
forming sub-Unions. The delegates appointed on said
committee were Messrs Patterson, Cox, Munday
Toof and Msener.
Messrs. Sloan, Graham, Stth, Toof, Munday, Mise
ner, Aiken, Brown, Cox, Hyatt, Miner, and Barne
were appointed the Executive Committee of the Ma
tional Union.
The Committee on New Business reported agains
the project of establishing monthly Typographical
journal. They, however, recommended the encou1
agement of any paper started by private enterprise
which might advocate the interests of the craft.
The Union then adjourned to Il o'clock to-day.

MORE INDIAN TROUBLEs.-We find in the st. Louis
Democrat letter from Fort des Moines, Iowa. dated
April ~ from which we extract the following:
For some days we have been startled from time to
time by rumors of threatened attack upon the
settlers upon the Upper Des Moines, which might
prove sad sequel to the bloody enacted near
Spirit Lake, with which the papers have lately been
filled, but nothing sufficiently well authenticated has
heretofore transpired to excite any considerable at
tention
Yesterday morning, however, an expressman
arrived from Fort Dodge to procure ammunition and
assistance to defend the place. stating that body of
from 500 to 500 Sioux Indians were advancing upon
the place, being within Is miles when he left.
Rumors were current in town last night that on Il
o'clock on Saturday bodies of Indians were seen
ing the Des Molnes river in the immediate vicinity of
Fort Dodge and fears entertained that the place
has been attacked before now.
If the attack has been made by the force stated
well armed as the Indians represented to be there
was not enough men nor sufficient ammunition in the
place to withstand the fury OF the savages for
very short time.
Yesterday several families arrived in town from the
country, thirty or forty miles above here, having
tumbled a few clothes and the women and children
into open wagons, and beat hasty retreat, leaving
their houses and stock uncared for. From all this il
apparent that whether any hostties are really to bt
feared yet the panic is not less great than it woult
be were the Indians really in our midst.
Companies have already been formed in the villages
north of this to go to the relief of the besieged dis
tricts and while write the drum and fife are sount
ing for recruits from this place. Two companies art
likely to be formed here, one from each side of thu
river. The munitions of war have been sent in ad
vance by special messengers, and probably two hun
dred men will leave in short time.
brief telegraphic dispatch Of the 9th inst from
Chicago, states that there is truth in this story
but we give it for what it is worth.

NATIONAL TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
F o U r T H D A Y.

The Convention commenced its sitting at II o'clock
| on Thursday morning.
The minutes of the previous days proceedings were
read and approved.
Mr. Munday moved that the resolution to go into
a Committee of the Whole be rescinded. Adopted.
The Committee on Subordinate Unions presented
their report, which appropriately disposed of.
The Finance Committee reported on a communica-
ton from the Boston Union relative to cards, per
centage, ETC., and resolutions to open correspond
ence and send to that Union reports of the proceed
ings of the Convention, and cards, were adopted.
Mr.. Patterson, on the part of the Committee of
Examination on the Accounts of the Treasurer read
the report of that officer. The committee also re-
ported having instituted examination into the past
three years accounts of the Treasurer and that several
discrepancies had been found. A resolution was
adopted after debate instructng the Recording
Secretary and Treasurer to credit the National Union
with s53, this being the amount of tina deficit.
The committee to whom was referred the cores
pondence between the New Orleans and Nashville
Unions reported, with resolution declaring the card
issued by the New Orleans Union to N. Grant, to be
Valid and as such should have been received by the
Nashville Union. The report and resolution was
adopted.
The select committee on the communication of W.
s. Bond of Detroit, in their report stated that they
were not prepared to make any recommendation rs to
a uniform method of attaining the object desired by
Mr.. Bond though fully concurring with his views.
This subject is in which the Importance of har-
monious action in regard to any organic change was
brought to the attention of the Convention The
following resolution relative to it was adopted after
lengthy debate
Resored That the National Union regards the
Typographical profession as being composed of two
great classes, viz compositors and pressmen.
Mr. Stith, to whom had been referred the subject
of departments in offices, offered the following reso
luton, (which was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Nationa
Union that it is neither wise policy nor correct in
principle that anything should be enacted relative to
the control of the internal affairs of printing offices
but this Union is Of opinion that it is the interest
the trade, as well as that of the employer, that as
few departments should exist as practicable.
On motion of Mr.. Munday, the Constitution wa
taken up for consideration, pending which the Con
vention adjourned.

Guy FAwKEs IN PARIs.-The Paris correspondent
of the Manchester Gnariian tells the fnnwinp stnrr

Guy FAwKEs IN PARIs-The Paris correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian tells the following story:
plan did exist not only for putting an end to the
Emperors life, but for committing murder wholesale,
after the fashion of the gunpowder plot. The details
have been confined, with comparatively wonderful Sc
cresy to the people about the Tueries and prefecture
of the police. The affair would seem to have been
Organized for some tolerably long time, and the mo-
ment of action fixed for the first night when the
court should visit the Theater Franeas. This thea
ter situated at the end of the Rue Richeeu, and
nexed to the Palas Royal, is, for the greater part
built ground floor of shops. Most of these
occupied by tradesmen well known to the authorities;
but in the narrow and somewhat dark passage which
runs from entrance door of the theater into the
Palas Royal there is collection of small shops one
of which was unoecuped and had escaped the notice
Of the police. t...
This line of shops lies Immediately under the impe-
rial box at the Theater Franeas, and this shop was
accordingly hired by the individuals who medtated
the attack going to relate. Little by little, and
as they hoped unperceived, they had introduced
bustibles of all sorts into this closed shop, which
thus representing Guy Fawkes' cellar The day before
the Emperors visit however, to the theater to wit
ness the performance of " Fiammiua,' the locality be-
ing mnutely examined, this shop excited attention.
and the very day of the state visit it opened
tered into, and the whole of what it contained was
discovered. The plan had been to blow up the impe
rial box and all that side of the theater but it is said
that had the combination even not been discovered,
there not sufficient quantity of combustlbles
amassed to have made the execution possible.
