Santa AnnG's return to Merico.-.We find the
following in the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun of the 10Th:
Private letters from a member Of General
Santa Annals family state that this veteran and
successful chief will return to Mexico and head
a revolution within ninety days. Santa Annals
own manifesto d~iscloses adesign of this sort.
At the head of his own party, which has never
been entirely crushed, and aided by the church
and by all who are DISCONTINUED with the Conn
ofort Government, and hostile to the Constitu-
tionaI Government, which is to be established
in September, Santa Anna may again be favor
ed by fortune, and perhaps carry into effect his
scheme Of re-establishing the empire under
the guarantees of the church and army.
The election of a President, under the new
constitution Of Mexico, was in progress at the
last dates. and it appeared probable that il
would result in the choice of Gen. Comonfort.
In September the new Constitutional Govern
ment is to be inaugurated. 1t is probable that
Santa Anna intends to make his demonstration
at or before that time.

The Bastrop Advocate, after pitching lnto
Wasbburn's Circus, is an article of a columns
length, headed by the cut Ofthe Camanche with
how and arrow, on a barebacked horse all for
the simple reason that said circus dId'nt pay
him for a great deal Of difficult work it had
contracted with that paper to do-thus winds
up:
number of hand bills recently for a man by
tbe name Of John William Jennings, who had
been accused by ome one OF stealing money.
This individual feeling that his honor was
assaulted, and threatened with destruction, and
his character and honesty impeached, and cons
sidered doubtful, at such feelings and prospects
bis manhood recoiled, and his fury ragged like
that of a snake when you tread on its tail. In
his fury he fastened to our Office to have some
hand bills printed, to assert his innocence aud
establish his character; whereupon we executed
his commands and carried out his wishes with
out delay s%ympathizing with him in the mag
nanimity of our nature, as an injured man, but
we have not heard of his worthless carcass
since, but we are disposed to be charitable
We reckon that he went to ply back the mons
ey he had stolen, and having drank up some of
his funds, he did not have a sufficient sum left
to pay for his hand bills but is now perhaps
hunting up some money to pay for them; if so,
we hope he will come forward soon or they
will be out Of date.

Chronic Rheumatsm.-The London Lancet
contains the history of a series Of cases of
chronic rheumatism treated successfully by
DR.. O'Connor, one of the physicians of the
Royal Free Hospital, London, in a number of
cases under care in that institution, by the use
of sulphur and flannel b~andaging. The new
anesthetic agent, unprecedented by the
distillation Of fusel oil and cboloride Of zinc
has also been successfully tried in Kings Col
lege Hospital, London, in producing insensibiI-
ity during surgical operations-the pain seem
ing to have been. entirely prevented; the pas
tents seemed ina state of semi. consciousness,
and recovered very promptly without nausea.
This amylene has been known TO chemists
about fifteen years, and is a very light and vo~
lathe liquid; its vapor is much less puugeant
than chloroform, although the patient must in.
hale a larger quantity.

when A Man may Kill his Assailant.

when A MAN may kill his Assailant.
The Court of Appeals, in Frankfort, KY,
recently decided a case which settles the ques.
ton as to when a man who is attacked in the
State of Kentucky is justified in killing his
assailant. We find the following report of the
case:
In Grayson Circuit a man named Meredith
had been convicted of m~anslaughter, for the
killing of one Ireland who attacked him, and
the lower court charged the jury, "If Ireland
assaulted the defendant and he had reasonable
grounds to believe he was in danger Of suss
tanning great bodily harm, or the loss of life
from such assault, and if necessary TO protect
his life or person from great bodily harm, he
might kill Ireland, if he had no safe means Of
escaping. But if the defendant could hare
safely retreated from the danger, and by that
means have saved his life and person he is not
excusabIe for the killing of Ireland"
The higher court, however, decided that this
charge was wrong. That the jury had nothing
to do with the question, whether "the defend
ant could have safely retreated," that being a
question to be settled by the judgment of the
defendant himself. sin the exercise of this
Judgment he must act nationally. Whether an
actual necessity to kill existed or not, was a
question to be decided by Meredith at the
time. Though he may have erred in his judg-
ment-though he "could have safely retreated,"
yet, if he acted in good faith, and had reasona-
Bile grounds to believe that his only safety was
to kill his antagonist, the law excuses him"

The Derby Race i'm England.

The last English papers contain full acr
counts of the great Derby race at EPSON, on
the 9th nit. The London correspondent of
the Philadelphia American writes:
The day was exceedingly fine, and not less
than one hundred thousand persons were con-
veyed to Epson Downs, about sixteen miles
from London, by rail, and every species of We
hicle that can be imagined, from the peers
splendid four-horse drag down to a humble
pony cart. The scenes along the road and
upon the downs are most remarkable, and the
sight Immediately preceding, during and after
the race is run, is not only intensely exciting,
but can be imagined rather than described.
The winner of the stakes, out of a field OF
three-year~old horses and mares numbering
thirty, was a mare called "BIack Bonny;" the
value of the stakes exceeds, $3.50, 900; the dis"
tance run is a mile and half, which is accom-
pIished in q little over two minutes. Thus,
this great race, upon which thousands of thou
sands of pounds is pending, and which a huns
bred thousand persons, ut considerable personal
expense and some risk, to go to visit, com.
mences and is over, as it were, in a breath
The Houses Of Parliament were closed on that
day; little or nothing was done on the stock
exchange, and, in short, all persons who had
the inclination and means, put in an appearance
on the downs at some period of the day.

Strange Stories aJOut the Pope--There are
strange Stories about the Pope. The last time
he left Rome he was disguised as a coacbman,
but on this occasion he was in state; and it is
said, that no sooner did he get rid Of Gen.
Coyou, the British commander, than he ex-
claimed, "Never again shall Ienter Rome till il
be freed of these French" This may be true
or not true, but / believe you may calculate
that he will remain at Bologna for about six
months, thus giving a sort of passive denial to
the assertion that he is indebted for his safety
TO the French troops. His conduct in RENAME
ing at Bologna, and not giving the French an
excuse for holding possession of Rome, may
again CO mplicate matters.

from nearly 1000 different persons, the ma
jority of whom are laborers and servants girls
to a fund entitled the "Irish Pioneer Emigra-
ton Fund" The object Of the institution OF
this fund is to raise the wages and otherwise
better the condition of the poor families in the
poorest districts of Ireland, by the assisted
emigration to the United States or Canada Of
one member of each family specially selected
on account of good character and industrious
habits, in the expectation that the person thus
assisted will not only better their condi-
ton, but will, according to the usual generous
practice Of Irish emigrants, also send for, or
otherwise greatly help the rest of the family

The Pearl Epidemic.


Lately there has been great excitement in
New Jersy relative to the valuable pearls which,
il has been discovered, are contained in the
muscles in creeks or rivers Of that State, or a.
long the sea-shore. But a few persons knew
their value it seems, which accounts for their
being undisturbed 80 long. Since, however,
their value has become known, many persons
can ~recolIect a good deal about them, and
wish they had them now" An exchange
thus shifts off, this class in the following para
graph:
Griering for Lost Pear1s.--It would be
hard TO tell whether most JOY or sorrow has
been caused at Notch Brook, N. J., by the dis@
covery of the pearls. Dozens are bemoaning
fortunes that, in days past, they carelessly
flung away. One matron, unavaiiing, signs
over some "little white things" that she once
gave her boys for marbles. A scheolmaster
fugubriously remembers that he had chopped
up eight or ten dollars worth with bis PEN
knife, "to see what was inside" Another gem
ius rammed a pearl bullet down his rife and
shot away, his fortune. An old lady, who
chuckled six months over her "good bargain
with the pedlar," now discovers that she paid
him in pearls, about 81, 00 for a calico dress.
1t ia needless to say she hasn't laughed since.
The unfortunate man who had the $4,000
one cooked for bis breakfast, has taken to bed
n utter despair, and refuses to be comforted.
