A HoRsE-THIEF HANGED BY MOB The
Washington Iowa) Press, of late date re-
marks:
On the night of the 2lst of April IA horse
was stolen from Allen Meek, of this County,
two or three miles north Of Washington.
The thief, Martin T.. Wright, made his
escape, but was tracked by a brother of Mr..
Meek, to the vicinity of st. Joseph, Mo.
Here the thief had disposed of the horse, and
shortly stole pair of mules, in which he
was detected, and fully identified as the rogue
who had stolen the horse from this county
A meeting of the citizens was held, and the
thief tried and sentenced to be hung. A
committee was sent with him into the woods
for the purpose of lynching him, or extort-
ing confession. After one or two swings
at the rope, he confessed to stealing the
mules and number of other animals, among
them the one from Mr.. Meek. He was taken
down, and 100 lashes administered to him,
and put in jail at st. Joseph. From Jail,
however, he escaped the second night
through the aid of accomplices outside, let
ting out at the same time four or five other
prisoners. Crawling into freight-car on the
| Hannibal and st. Joseph Railroad, he came
| to Hannibal without being discovered. In 9
few hours after his arrival he stole another
horse and started south, but had not gone
more than twenty miles before he was over.
taken and brought back, and identified by
men from st. Joseph, as the same person whC
had been lashed there a few days previous
and escaped from their Jail. He was ther
taken out and hung till dead.

The Carnage at the Battles of the Late
Franco-Austrian War.


Franco-Austrian War.
A correspondent of the New York Times
writes in late letter:
1t has already been shown by document
published at Brescia by the chief Italian
surgeon of the place, that the accidents at
Solferino on the Allied side, which entered for
treatment at the hospital of Brescia alone,
were little over 81, 600; if to this be added
the men who entered the hospitals of other
towns and villages, those who had wounds
which did not drive them into the hospitals

heat were avoided by every one who could
nurse his wound in camp), and the dead left
on the field, we arrive inevitably Mt q figure

Of the entire army, not more than tive-eighths
of which were engaged. DR.. Bertherand, one
of the principal surgeons of the French army,
Director of the Medical School at Algiers,
and chief surgeon to one of the corps ddrmee
in the late Italian campaign, has just pub,
lished a small work of 200 pages on the
surgical service of the campaign.
In this work DR.. Bertherand states that
the effective force of the French army in
Italy had reached, on the day of the battle
of Solferino, 2lS, 900 men, and he gives the
same figures as the Brescia surgeon as the

Cause of the Great Eastern's Misfortune
Extraordinary Orthodox AuaIysIs.


We are delighted to present to our readers
the following article, from the Childs Paper,
evincing subtle insight into the ways of
Providence, and showing how terribly He
deals with all who dare to violate His most
holy laws. Any one who can read this with
out feeling its deep and impressive truth
must, indeed, be given up to the reprobate
sense, and destined to live without God in
the world:
You have heard of the famous big ship
built in London, called the Great Eastern.
Four thousand passengers they meant her to
carry, the people Of four or five Of our small
villages could be slowed in her. She was
built of the best material, by the best me-
chanics. But unfortunately, they put one
rotten plank in her-that was Sabbath pork.
After she was built they had great diff
Guilty in launching her. They pushed her,
and hauled her, and tugged at her for weeks
together, with all the men and machinery at
their command. Stir she did not. One, two,
three, four, five times they tried to launch
the monster. A good many mistakes were
made, she was so much larger than any ship
ever built before but the worst mistake OF
all was Sabbath launching at last. The God
of the Sabbath appointed it for day of sacred
rest; and will He not frown on those who
abuse it to their own uses2
Just as the launch was effected, its great
constructor, Mr.. Brunei, died-died of over
work, they said. All, God knew his poor
brain needed Sabbath rest, if he did not know
it, After the launch, the great ship steamed
| off on its trial trip. The eyes of all England
were looking on her. Pens wrote her praises
and lips pronounced her success. But What
was the first news they heard from her on
this trial trip A terrible explosion or
board. That rotten plank, perhaps, hat
i given way. The poor ship was hurried into
port. While there, with no urgent necessity
for it, her captain ordered her huge decks t
be cleaned on the Sabbath. The hands asked
for the Christian privilege of rest on th,
Lords Day. And what answer did they get
Arrest and Imprisonment for disobeying or
ders. A few months later, and we find thu
death of that captain by accidental drown
ing.
And the end of all this is, that the Gred
Eastern upon which her builders pridet
themselves so much, is likely to turn out
bad bargain to all concerned-a wreck OF
shore. We call these disasters accidents;
but depend upon it, there is Power over an
above all that we can see, whose laws, whic
He has made for our good, it. is perilous
trifle with. This Being is Lord Of the Sal

The INcLEMENT SEASON IN PARIs.-The
Paris correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta observes; at.y
There is great distress in town. The dry
goods people, the mantua-makers, the mil
liners, the straw-workers, the flower-makers,
are all of them suffering greatly from the
inclemency Of the season. The public balls
and gardens are almost ruined, even the
laundresses complain of the cold weather: the
former are unfrequented, and the latter pos
sess none of that affluence of cotton and linen
clothes which usually Danish warmer and
less-easily soiled attire from the daily dress.
A great many people are thrown out of en-
ployment by this cold weather from all of the
aforementioned trades. And while there is
no work, and consequently no wages, every
thing at market is very dear; the poorer
classes are eating scarcely any thing except
dried peas and dried beans. There is, too, q
great deal of sickness and a good deal Of
mortality in town--throat diseases, swelling
of the glands of the neck abound, and there
is great deal Of nervous prostration. Still
there is talk Of new taxes as likely to be in
ficted upon us; Paris wants loan of $780,
100000 to build and pull down during the
coming months. If the present weather con-
tinues few weeks longer, we shall see the
strength of the Government severely tested

Remarkable Literary Theft by Alexandra
Dumas.

Not long ago, Barnes & Burr, of New York,
published an interesting Life of Gdribald,
written by himself with sketches of his COM
panions in arms, translated by his friend and
admirer, Theodore Dwight. This biography,
it appears by the following extract from the
Philadelphia Press, has been stolen by that
most unscrupulous of literary hacks, Alex
andre Dumas;
"Some months ago the famous Alexandra
Dumas, author of Monte Cristo, The Three
Musketeers, and an immense number of other
romances, proceeded to Italy, with the
avowed purpose of becoming the biographer
of Garibaldi. He issued a flaming pros
pectus of his forthcoming work, in which il
was announced that it would contain greai
many details received directly from Carl
baldi himself An American publisher (whC
may be heard of in Boston, we are told,
conceived the business-like idea of purchas
Gdribaldi, and succeeded in obtaining a copy
of the work in anticipation of its appearance,
in Paris. .....
at is said that $500 was the sum paid t
Dumas--certainly not a very extravagan
amount, but great deal, considering tina
the book might have been obtained immedi
ately after its publication for nothing.
"The advanced sheets, duly received from
France, were Immediately placed in th,
hands of a competent translator, and tn
Boston publisher prepared to bring out tn
book with as little delay as possible. But, b.
the time the first twenty-four pages wer
translated, careful reader well acquainted
with current literature, went over them, ant
speedily discovered that Dumas had simpl,
got some one to make French translation o
Gdribdldis autobiography, edited by Dwight
and published by Barnes & Burr, prefxing
few PREDATORY remarks of his own to thi
stolen property. OF course the translation 0
Dumas's Life of GaribaIdi was not proceeds
with, and we need scarcely add that the pub
Usher, SO scandalously cheated by Dumas, ha
not the slightest chance of ever receiving

A MODEL INDIAN NArroS.-The Cho eta,

A MODEL INDIAN NATIoN.-The Choc
Nation seems to be model community, ac-
cording to the following usages:
All lands, it is said, are held in common,
and each Indian, or those connected with
him by affinity or consanguinity, settle down,
and no one is allowed to come nearer than
one-quarter of mile of this inclosure; and
this is his claim, and he is protected in its
possession by the laws of the Nation, as
though it were his fee-simple. Merchants,
mechanics, professional men, machinists, &c,
are allowed to live there by permit from the
Council, but no one is allowed to produce
any thing more than is necessary for the use
of himself and his family outside of his
trade or profession. Not drop of spirituous
liquors is allowed to be given away, or trans
ported through the nation; and all that is
found by the officers is poured out, and il
found in any wagon, water craft, or on horse
back, the whole establishment is con fscated
to the use of the nation. rr.4 I
