Attempt upon the Life Of Napoleon.


further particulars of the attempt upon
the life of Louis Napoleon.
From The Paris Correspondence OF the London Times.
The attempted assassination of the
Emperor had been the all-engrossing
topic Of the week. On the day follow
ing the event, addresses were made to
the Emperor by representatives of the
Corps Diplonatique, Of the Senate, the.
Legislative body, the Council of State,
DC, congratulating him aadthe Empress
upon their escape. Some of the Off
cials in their address limited that the
English Government should be called
uponto expel those refugees who abused
her hospitality by organizing, in their
retreat, plans of destruction, and per-
fccting their conspilaciss. The I'm
Iperor, in reply to the great bodies OF the
State, expressed his entire confidence
and reliance in their support and devo-
ton. He added that ut the same time,
he was resolved to adeptsuch measures
as might be deemed advisable, but should
not depart from that path of firmness
and moderation which he had hitherto
followed. febaDs84L aaHG1s aon q

The effect of the explosion of the
three projectiles proee,i, on invsstiga-
tion,to be far more disastrous than was
at first supposed. The number of per-
sous more or less wounded, fell little,
if any, short of one hundred and fifty,
and six had died of the injuries they
sustained. sod 89uI9 81 ,stf9de5l 1913
Inc projecdles employed were of the
most formidable kind, fand it is said that
not less than twenty of them were me ant
to be used. Five. minutes prior to the
explosions, an Italian, Pierri, who was
expelled from France 10 1882, was re-
cognized by the police and arrested.-
He was armed with siX-barrelled re-
volver and dagger, and1was the bearer

Count Orisina, who WAS arrested at his
lodgings upon information given by his
servant, is SAID to have confessed that
he threw onesof the boinbs. Thesepar-
ties, and two others named Gomez and
Da Silvia, alias Rudio, also in custody,
are supposed to be implicated in the af-
fair. A police officer from London had
arrived in Paris for the purpose of iden-
tifying Pierri and Or=ini as having
been connected with the affair of Eos
chin, who escaped from London some
time since. ~ a. 4r-e vjqaa

| A MEMORABLE WIG.-Since the days
of Commodore Stockton's big gun there
has been no peacemaker like Mr.. Banks
dale's wig. All witnesses agree thai
the tumult in the House of Representa-
tives was quelled entirely and instanta
neously by the revelations itmade1a the
most critical moment Of the fray. Sam
sons strength lay in his hair; Mr.. Banks
dale lies III his want of hair. Nothing
inside his head ever produced half thu
impression that was produced by the
few moments exposure gifts shining sur
face just at the happy moment whel
Mr.. keitt was counting the new starr
with which his armament had suddenl.
been studded by judieious communi
cation over the ear from Mr.. Grow
What the geese did for one of the oldes
Republics, Mr.. Bark sdale's wig did
for one of the youngest. Who shall tel
how many heads would have been bro
ken, eyes blackened and coats rent, o.
how soon the Union would have beer
destroyed, but for the ludicrous diver
sion of the combatants' attention to 'th'
place where the wool ought to grow
on Hon. Mr.. Barksdale's head. %
John Gilpin's wig had some reputa
ton in its day, but it will hencefortl
bear no more comparison to Barkdale'
than bachelors scratch or a spinster'!

recognize its obligations to this historic
Ihead-gear in some way. 1t should b.
procured, ii possible, and put in the Pa
tent Office, or in the Smithsonian Insti

ter of the world may have an opportun
Iity of learning on which side of tn,
skulls OF our legislators to look for the
wisdom to which the country is most in
debted for Its prosperity.
BY the way should the Lecomptol
Constitution fight its way through Con
Igress, would it not be fitting memoris
of the first scalp taken in the struggle
to adopt a design for the seal of the new
State, a wig .tiataHte on one side, and oil
