ISI The sensation Of the dsy at Paris ia

S!ai says: Il have just returned from the ex-

ana stood before scrambling, shrieking
sitting crowd of enthusiastic fine gentlemen
and hysterical fine ladies. The excitement
was so great that the authority of the beadles.
In spite of stave and halberd, cooked hat and
embroidered uniform, was completely set at
naught, and the fainting ladies deliberately
seated themselves on the shoulders of the gem
tlemen, who defended them most valiantly
with uplifted chairs against the officials who
imagined such position to be indecent and i'm
proper in place of worship. The gendarmes
were called to the rescue more than once, but,
like the horses Of the City Guard they are
schooled to bearing all things from a city
crowd, and knowing the habits of the more
enthusiastic portion of the fair devotees of
ParIs, and their extravagant demonstration of
admiration for an ecclesiastical favorite, showed
themselves most reasonable and temperate in
their remonstrances, and so good humor was
not disturbed, although the toilets of the ladies
suffered so considerably that the pavement of
the church was found to be strewn with all

IRISH EMIGRATION TO AMERICA-The Dublin
correspondent of the London Times, under date
of April 2, writes
For nearly two years or so it was generally
supposed that the exodus of the Irish peasan-
try was accomplished. and that until another
generation arose we should hear no more of that
marvellous decrease in population which fol-
lowed the famine of 1856 The figures. how
ever, supplied by Mr.. Donnelly's last statistics
have dissipated that idea, and their truthful
ness has been corrOborated by the accounts
which have come from the provinces since the
opening of the emigration season. Advices
from Cork of Saturdays date state that on the
previous day upward of 800 passengers were
embarked at Queenstown. for New York. on
board the Edinburg. by the local agents G.
and W. D. Seymour 4 Co. The Messrs. Scott
also embarked large number of passeppe in
the Anglo Saxon for Portland The migrants
were, many of them, attended as far as Queens
town by their relatives and friends and the
scene presented on the piers and quays as they
parted was one Of great animation and interest
From the port of Sligo it is stated that during
ths past month there has been a regular fight
of emigrants from the west of Ireland On Fri
day nearly 200 emigrants passed through Sligo
for America by way of Liverpool not to speak
of those going by Galway. The great majority
of them were FROM Belmullet. in the country of
Mayo. A considerable number also belonged
to the country of Sligo The tide of emigration

The GENIUS OF NAPOLEON IN A SERGEANT

informed by an officer of the U. S. Army of a
most remarkable instance of ingenuity and

which occurred few weeks ago, by which be
saved his own life and that of his party. A
Sergeant, with about % soldiers, had been sent
out some miles from Fort Defiance, New Mexi-
CO, to guard seme stock which were sent to
Craze, when unexpectedly they found that the
was surrounded by 400 hostile Navajo Indians.
The brave and skillful Sergeant took position
on an eminence, and by volley from the long
shooting rifles of his party, at first drove off the
savages, who, however, soon rallied, and were
preparing to storm the party on all sides The
Sergeant, in taxing his brain for an expedieut
by which to convey intelligence of the desper-
ate in which his party was placed, took single
dog which had accompanied the party, fasten-
ing to his collar note written with a pencil
informing the commander at the fort of his sit
uation, took a tin cup in which he put som
pebbles, which were confined with a piece of
cloth over the top, fastened it with string to
the dogs tail, spit some tobacco Juice into his
fundament, and started the dog loose, knowing
that he would. in his alright, run to the fort
He dashed with bis greatest speed to Fort De-
fance; the note was discovered and read
Straightway party was sent to the rescue
and arrived just in time to save the lives of the
whole party. This Sergeant justly merits
commission which we hope will be awarded
him by the President.-Kentueky Flag.
