,ur AssAssINs OF NAPOLEON Ill.

THE ASSASSlNS OF NAfOLbON IT.
A correspondent Of the New York Tribune
solves the apparently insOluble mystery con-
nected with the attempted assassination Of
Napoleon, that in this instance, rs IN all
others, the couspirators were Italians lie
saws these attempts have all been maze oy
the Carhouari, one Of those terrible secret
,oe;eties which have always existed on the
continent, and about the proceedings ofwhch
.o mucb mas been said in novels aud dramas.
Immediately after the French Revelation of
1890. there were numerous insurrectlonary
attempts in the states Of the church, all of
which were put down by the Pope's soldiers.
These Instructions, the writer says, were,
ali. the worS Of the Carbonari. In them,
the present Emperor Of the French, and his
brother, now dead, were deeply concerned.-
They were both sworn members of the so
esty Of Carbonari, having been introduced by
Piotri the present Minister ofpolice. Mazzi-
nj, and the present Pope, Plus TX were also
members, ms was likewise Charles Albert
tho present King OF Sardinia. 1t is Il well
known fact, that this society never forgives n
renegade member, and according to the Tri-
bune's correspondent, this is the reason why
Mazziai has 80 steadily opposed Plus, and
Charles Albert, and why the life Of Napoleon
III 10 sought with such untiring pertinacity.-
fali this he true il accounts for what we
were not previously able TO understand
The great Napoleon was always loved by the
Italians, and the accession Of the present
Emperor, and even his coup detdt of And De-
esmber, were favorab.y received in Italy,
Even to this day, he is regarded with favor
by the constitutional liberals in Rome, who
prefer his supremacy to that of the Ausirians.
knowing all this, we have been nstonished
that the attempts upon his life were in ali
cases made by Italians, and TINT one of the
criminals should be distinguished member
Of the Orsini family-one of the oldest and
most ilustrious in Europe, its pedigree run
ming back until it is lost in the darkness of
the middle ages. Those at all familiar with
the history of incidental Italy will recall its
struggles with the Colonnas, five hundred
years ago. If the Trbunc's correspondent,
who we presume is Carbonaro himself,
from the confidence with which he speaks,
tell the truth, all is accounted for

A CUTE YANKEE.

A correspondent of one of the Boston
papers tells the following good story:
Early one morning, the scolars of one
of our district schools were agrecably
surprised to find written upon the out
side door, "No Scule," and the most Of
them made preparations to enjoy the holi-
day-not dreaming but that it was gen.
uine order. I, appeared, however, that
q roguish youth, lover Of mischief more
than his books, had. written in large let
ters the joyful news. "No Scule" was
the notice posted up; the idea we under
stood, but the spelling was bad The
afternoon brought al together; and in
the stern yisage of the master, enough
was seen to convince us that all was no,
right-he had been outwitted, aud now
came the tug of war,
He soon ordered the boys to appear be.
fore his presence, and, one by one, criti-
cised our spelling, as far as sha word
school was concerned. They stood the
test, until the hero, with his comic phiz
made his appearance, who, With confidence
distinctly said: "S-c-u-l-e!"
The master took him by the collar and
with joyful expression at the success,
of the ruse, laid on the birch right merri
ly.

the INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYER, be it remem-

between the upper and neither milestone,
whom they are determined to load until
like Issachar, the ass, be crouches down

the rag-money banks, these men are per-
fectly determined that they shall not bear
their due proportion of taxation, ''the

secret of the hostility of these men to
our independent treasury law, favoritism
to the banks and recklessness as to the

to repeal the law and let the Columbus
Insurance Company have another chance!!!

TO THE PUBLIC.
For the Spiri,

The Herald is o little inaccurate in its
report Of my conversations about Gov.
Chsse's double tax law. i have never
yet made q calculation of the increased
taxation consequent upon the enactment
in question. and therefore never said that
i had made q calculations. This is said
without any imputation On the Herald

take. After my best efforts / cannot re-

number of indiyiduals," that "the salaries
of Auditor and Treasurer were about
doubled" by the Governors 6nanciering.
The report is probably inaccurate as the
reports of free, social, private converse.
tions are apt to be. Though the increase
OF public expenses. in consequence of this
measure viii unquestionably be material
yet 1t will not double the salaries of Audi
tor aud Treasurer, probably for few
years. The. County Treasurers may be
compelled to drudge in their Offices through
tho important months of May and juno,

tedious and burdensome duties without
suliG,ent remuneration, know how to clam.
or for an increase Of pay; and the clamors
Of individuals against the Treasury if at
all plausible are always successfu! At Co.
)umbus. 1t is not likely therefore that
the Subscriber ever hazarded su opinion
that those salaries would be doubled in
the esst instance. 1t is due to csndor to
state that the subscriber was d,sgusted
with the measure when it 6rst appeared in
our sorrowfbi Governors messages; and
lsstwintss wrote repeatedly and earnestly
10 our delegation in the Assembly. urging
them to vote against it. Whether con.
vinced by my arguments or not, they all
votsd against the thing. When the influ.
epce of the Governor and his Black Re.

of the act, it was very natural for me to
feel the yexation which generally fills the
minds of defeated partizans, and to ex-
press myself accordingly. But if, unfor.

Hymn of the Marseillaise.

The Marseillaise was inspired by genius,
patriotism, youth, beauty and champagne.
Rouget dc Lisle was an officer of the gar
rison at St:atsburgh, and native of Mt.
Jura. He was an unknown poet and COM
poser. He had a peasant friend, named
Deitrick, whose wife and daughters were
the only critics and admirers of the soldier
poets song. One night he was at supper
with his friends family, and they had on
ly coarse bread and slices Of ham. Deit-
rick, looking sorrowfully at De l.isle, said
PLENTY is not our feast, but we have still
one bottle left in the cellar-bring it, my
daughter, and let US drink to liberty and
our country' ~
The young girl brought the bottle; it
was soon exhausted, and De Lisle went
staggering to bed; he could not sleep for
the cold, but his heart was warm and full
of the beating Of genius and patriotism.
He took small clavicord and tried to
compose song; sometimes the words were
composed irst-sometimes the air. Di-
rectly he fell asleep over the instrument,
and waking at daylight, wrote down what
he had conceived in the delirium of the
night. Then he walked the family, and
sang his production; at first, the women
turned pale, then they wept, then burst
forth into cry of enthusiasm. 1t was
the song of the nation and of terror.
Two months afterwards, Deitrick went
to the scaffold, listening to the self-same
music, composed under his own roof and
by the inspiration of his last bottle of wine
The people sang it everywhere; it few from
city to city, to every public orchestra
Marseillais adopted the song at the open.
ing and close of its clubs-hence the
name, "Hymn of the Marselllais," then it
sped all over France. They sung 1t in
their houses, in public assemblies, and in
the stormy street convocatiou. De Lisle's
mother heard it, and said to her son, What
lis this revolutionary hymn, sung by bands
of brigands. and with which your name is
mingled?' De Lisle heard it and shudder-
ed rs it sounded through the streets Of
Paris rung from the Alpine passes, while
he, a royalist, fed from the infuriated peo-
pie, frenzied by his own words. France
was great amphitheatre of anarchy and
blood, and De Iisle's song was the battle.
Icry.
There is no national air that will com.
pare with the Marseillaise in sublimity and
power; it embraces the soft cadences full
of the peasants home, and the stormy clan
gor Of silver and steel when 40 empire is
overthrown, it endears the memory of the
vine dresser's cottage, and makes the
Frenchman, in his exile, cry LA belle
Francel" sorgetful of the torch and sword,
and guillotine, which have made his uoun-
try spectre of blood in the eyes Of the
nations. Nor can the foreigner listen to
lit, sung by . company Of exilss. or execu-
ted by band Of musicians without feel
ing that it is the pibroch of battle and
war.

THE Court ON "PoKER IA suit was
recently brought before Justice of the
peace in Yuba county, California, for the
recovery of seventeen dollars, which a man
had won of another, or rather got posses
sion of by 'bluffing,' while he had four
Jacks. The Maysville Inquirer says the
court let herself loose on the question;
and held that where party coolly and de-
liberately 'bluffed' the holders of a small
winning hand out of his money, it might
we'll be considered downright robbery, and
be punished as such, but tho court stated
that while it would punish the party who
would be guilty Of such 'blufing,' it had
no protection or mercy for the man who
like the plaintiff in the case, permitted
himself to be 'bluGed' with fours in his
hand! Such man, in the opinion of the
court, should not only lose his seventeen
dollar pot but receive the jeers of every
good poker player in Yuba county.
