Melancholy Condition Of the pone.

AParis correspondent ofthe London Star has
the following gossip concerning Pope Plus
Ninth: --
The mostmystcrious and alarming accounts
reached here yesterday concerning the health
of the Pope. 1t is whispered that his Holi-
ness has been in the habit of taking small
doses ofstrychnne, much prescibed by Italian
doctors for producing salutary degree OF
mental excitement, requisite for the endurance
OF the increasing amount of mental labor he
has had to undergo during the last few
months. A private letter received yesterday
says that the change in the appearance Of
Plus TX is evident to oil.
His head is bent, and his eye fixed and dim,
In raising his hand to bestow his benediction
on the people, it was observed to shake as ii
with palsy. He seems to have lost at least
two inches ofhis hight, and walks as if in a
dream. Cardinal Antonelli, on the contrary,
has grown fat and rosy. They say he smiles
benignantly and with peculiar meaning,
whenever, in alusion to the Pope's failing
health, the old prophecy is brought forward,
and hint thrown out that the last of the
Popes is disappearing from the stage. They
say he has far different conviction, and that
as if in anticipation of some approaching
change, his Eminence is wholly bent on con-
vertlng into money most Of the securities he
possesses. s. .. t ...

Betrayal and Biopement In Illinois = A
scoupdrel Deserts his wife and Runb
Away with Another Mans spouse-Pur-
suit Of the Injured Husband, who Shoots
tho Seducer. I--.e. rrI
A painful case Of connubial in6delity and
elopement was revealed in Cairo, ILL.,, few
days since, which is thus related in the pa
pcrs of that town; NV. anon
]. The wronged gentleman, who is well
known upon the river and generally es-
teemed for his fine qualities and business
abilities, arrived from New Orleans a short
time since, in company with his wife, to
whom he had been married about eight years,
and to whom he was very strongly attached.
On his arrival he found employment in n for
warding house, and boarded with his wife at
the st. Charles Hotel.
v The Same boat which brought them up,
brought also another man, q steamboat run
ner in New Orleans, with his wife. This lat
ter had formed the acquaintance of our friend
in New Orleans, and took advantage of his
kindness and friendship to seducc the affec-
tions Of his wife, with whom he had lived
lovingly and without any disagreement for
many years. Having established q criminal
intimacy with the erring spouse, he took his
wife to st. Louis, where he left her. and re-
turned to Cairo last week, stopping at the
St. Charles.
While here he prevailed upon the mis-
guided woman to forsake the tried love OF
years, and to abandon her confiding husband,
as he had abandoned his trusting wife, and
fly with him to the South. On Saturday
morning, she departed with her guilty para
mour, taking the B. p Cheney and the cars
for the South. OF course the state of mind
of the deserted husband was by no means
enviable, and his thoughts were distracting,
but he immediately decided to pursue the
pair, and to take summary vengeance on the
destroyer of his peace. Taking the same
route which they had pursued, he overlook
them at the town of jackson, Tennessee
where they had stopped to spend the night
Entering their room at an early hour in the
morning, he found them occupying the same
bed. Exasperated at the sight, he immedi,
ately drew his pistol and fired upon the man

ExTRAoRDINARY RAILWAY FEAr--UxcoUp-

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY FEAT--UNcoUp-
LING AND SWITCHING A LOCOMOTIVE AT
FIFTEEN MILES An HOUR.---Mr. Haughlin,
foreman of the machine shops of the Michi-
can Central Railroad, accomplished feat at
MICHIGAN City, Ind, with the train carrying
delegates to the Chicago Convention, which
is well deserving of mention. At Michigan
City it is necessary to change engines, and in
order not to lose time the train was run up
the track at fifteen miles an hour, the engine
then being ancoupled and run at faster
speed on to a siding. The switch was re-
placed in time, and the cars dashed along up
the main line to the engine waiting to take It
to Chicago. Moving at nearly the same
speed as the cars, it was coupled to the train,
and plunged along with its load. Uncoup-
ling and switching a locomotive, and coup7
ling on another Mt fifteen miles an hour IS
certainly very remarkable engineering ac-
complishment. .H srg 80, ft~' q,

MANS GREAT REsPoYsIBILITY.-0h, my
friends, how do all other things shrivel before
this immense responsibility that is in every
man how do all outward things grow dim
how does broeade and velvet become like
rags, and comets become astinsel, before the
possession of this immortal nature, which
God says, Occupy, exercise, watch over and
take care of till Il come. Ahl that which
you carry with you, after all, is the thing
which you are to consider and not that
which you leave behind you; il makes COM
paratively little difference what may be its
rank or position. When we come to lay
with our hands folded across the breast, and
with our eyes closed in silence, what matters
it whether we are clothed with the robes of a
king or the rags of beggar? Silently and
invisibly down the dark and mystic river has
drifted soul that has carried with il all
that is really worthy all that is true, all that
is Of any object in all that we do, or in all
that we are seeking for in lifc.-Chapin.

vIndietiveneas of the Japanese oharaoter

Vindictiveness of the JapaneEe Character.
The Shanghai (China) correspondent of the
New York Erening Post observes:
The people of Japan are unlike the Chinese
in some important characteristics. They
seem to be peaceful, and mindful of the
rights of others, and while well treated are
courteous and polite. They are resentful of
injuries, and when suffering under real or
imaginary wrong they are cruel, vndictive
and unscrupulous, During the last month
we heard of not less than three murders of
foreigners under circumstances of great
brutality. A servant of the British Consul,
who had by his oyerbearing conduct made
himself obnoxious to some ofthe Japanese, was
cut to pieces almost on the threshold of his
masters door. A few days afterward two
Dutchmen (seamen) were literally hacked to
pieces in the streets of Yokuhama. Doubt
less they had practiced some imposition upon
the people, and were thus summarily and
fearfully punished. These fearful retribu-
tions show the danger to which foreigners
are exposed, especially such as look upon
these pagan nations as fair subjects for their
rapacity and insolence. The perpetrators of
these murders have not been arrested, although
every effort has been made by the proper
officials to do so. In one instance, at least
the official himself has been removed from
his position, yet the criminals are at large.

EXCITEMENT AMONG THE PoLIcE-A GER

the Philadelphia Ledger, a citizen on, ap-

saw several men digging at the intersection
Of those streets. When he was within ten
or fifteen feet of them, one cried out shoot;
upon which tho man ran off at full speed.
The first policeman he met was apprised OF
the occurrence, and they went together TO
the place. When short distance off, the
word shoot was repeated and the policeman
told the men he would shoot too. Seeing
the star, the men ran away, and were too
feet to be overtaken. A light was then OBJ
tanned, and the earth taken from hole which
was being Just filed up. A short distance
beneath the surface a small piece of board
was found, and Immediately under it small
looking-glass, in a gilt frame, which had
been placed face up, and which rested on the
earth. On the face of the glass was some
writing in German, which could not be
