A TruahEMl XnIediClOrY.

The editor of the Henderson Mimi Dem
ocrat has retired from the editorial chair,
and in doing so, frankly assigns his reasons.
They are as significant as they are conclusive.
He says:
have tried the Democratic party of Min
nesota and found it wanting. Its leaders |
have found corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS, and
it's enunciated principles, things made to read
but not to follow. From conversation this
spring with many of the party, both here and
in other portions of the State, became CON-
WINGED that their hopes of success in the com
ing fall campaign were entirely based upon
anticipated bogus returns from Renvills,
Murray, Cottonwood, Pine-stone, Pembina,
| and other out-of-the- counties and
was not therefore surprised, on late visit to
| ST. Paul, to hear this preached to me, and
unblushingly anticipated, by Democrats high
in State Offices. The pollution of the ballot
box seems, in their opinion legitimate road
to success
Such a party-whioh occupies itself in
squabbling about spoils, instead Of fighting
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. arrogant leaders open
ly advocate fraud and usurpation of power
and whose internal organization 10 a system
of petty chicanery, dishonesty, bribery ant
political rottenness-d deserves the scorn anl
contempt Of every honest man. There ar
few who know the dishonesty of party unit
they become acquainted with the dishonest
of its leaders; and, with this as a touch-ston
of party honesty, am forced to conclud
that the Democratic party Of Minnesota i
most corrupt and depraved. To know it
thoroughly, through it's leaders, is to hate il
to hate it, is to condemn it, and to condem
, it, should be, with every true pstriot, to leay
it.
For reasons such as these, have left tn
Democratic party, and shall hereafter &C
work and vote with the Republicans of tb
district.

Attempt upon The Life OF Louis Ma,
nOleOn

pOleOn.
The Florence correspondent of the Proyi-
dence Journal relates the following;
A French officer here tells the following
story. He says it has not been printed in
the French journals-and certainly we have
seen no account-but the fact is known to
the army, and the story is true. On Good
Friday, ii al no other tune In the year, all
good Catholics partake Of the Communion
On that day, the 2lst Of April last, accord
ing to his habit, the Emperor Was to receive
the consecrated wafer in the chapel of the
Tuileres. Before going to the chapel he was
told that he must not eat the holy particle
that was to be offered him, as it had been pre-
pared with subtle and malignant poison for
the purpose OF destroying his life. The in
formant was a party to the dlabolical secret,
but horror of conscience and reverence tor
the Emperor led him to betray the conspira-
cy. The Emperor knelt at the altar during
the mass, but did not eat the bread. When
the Office was finished, the officiating priest
was invited into the apartment OF the EN-
1 press to partake Of q COLLATION., while the wa
/ fer was submitted TO chemical examination.
1 Ii was found to contain, as the informant
had said, a concentrated poison. The priest

I says that the priest Was an instrument of the
/ Je.uits; but whether in Italy, Austria, France
or England is not understood. SO much fol

Correct Speaktuu.

We advise oil young people to acquire in
early life the habit Of using good language,
both in speaking and writing, and to aban
don as early as possible any use Of slang
words and phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition of good Lam
guage will be; and if the golden age of youth,
the proper season for the acquisition of Ian
guage be passed in its abuse, the unfortunate
victim Of neglected education is very proba-
bly, doomed to talk slang for life. Money is
not necessary to procure education. Every
man has it in his power. He has merely to
use the language which he reads instead Of
the slang which he hears; to form his taste
from the best speakers and poets of the coun-
try; to treasure up choice phrases in his mem
ory and habituate himself to their use, void-
ing at the same time that pedantc precision
and bombast which show rather the weakness
of vain ambition than the polish Of an ed.
ucated mind.

Death from the Kite OF N Rattle
knAke.

Mr.. James Wright, an ole citizen of Vance
in distressing manner, on the 4th inst
The particulars of the affair are thus related
by the Cincinnati Gazette:
MIR. James Wright, an old citizen Of this
city, but who moved to Vanceburg last Au
gust, for the purpose of devoting his atten-
ton to getting out timber for the manufac
turing Of spokes and hubs, which he has been
importing largely into this market, was en-
gagged at his usual avooation in the woods
about four miles from that place, on the
| forenoon Of the Fourth, WREN, in turning
/ over a log, a rattlesnake suddenly sprung at
him and struck its fangs into the back of his,
hand. Alarmed at the probable consequent
| ces, he Immediately started for the town,
and ran the entire distance. The heat, fa
| tigue and excitement, OF course allowed the
poison to circulate through his system and
make sure of it's deadly work. By the time
he reached Nanceburg, he was entirely blind,
and his body and head were covered with
spots Of the same color of those OF the rat
tlesnake. The usual remedies were immedi
ately resorted to, and every effort made by
the attending physicians to neutralize the
poison, but without effect. He continued to
sink rapidly, and expired between three and
four O'Clock next morning.
In preparing the body TO be laid ont, q sim
| gular phenomenon presented itself. In I'D
dition to the spots referred to, there was a
picture of the snake itself = perfect in shape

Not n sure Thing.

We published ga decision Of the Court"
short time ago to the effect that a railroad
ticket entitled the holder to seat in the cars
at any time. BY the following decision it
will be seen that an endorsement on the tick
OF is held to limit that right to the stipula-
tions of such endorsement:
Some time since Benjamin Barker pur-
chased ticket which read as follows: "Good
for one seat in first class cars from Few York
to Buffalo by Hudson River and New York
Central Railroad-to be used within three
days from date--good for continuous trip
only" properly signed and stamped. Mr..
Barker remained in this city week before
taking the Central Railroad cars; and then
was passed as faRas Syracuse, when the Con-
ductor coming on there refused the ticket
The result was that Mr. Barker was elected,
and he brought suit against the Conductor
for assault and battery. Upon these facts,
Judge Marvin OF the 9Th District non-suited
the plaintiff, holding that the ticket evidenced
the contract between the partes-that the
Railroad Company had right to prescribe
the terms embraced in it's condition, and that
the Conductor was justified in the course hs
took Albany Jour.
