A LONDON correspondent saws !:

An Irish rifle corps has been formed in
London, and strange to say, our PRIMER,
Lord Palmerston, has enrolled himself a
member. "The old dog has life in him vet, ;"
says Lsndseer, in his admirable picture, and
our Septuaguarian Prime Minister is setting
an excellent example to us old fellows, who
remember '9S, and 1904, at which latter pc
riod we frightened the First Napoleon from
his intended attempt at invasion. There is
talk of female corps of rihe-Women, and |
see no objection. remember that in 1904
the proposal was made, and they went so far
as to classify themselves (the ladies do every
thing by rule) as follows:
"0ld maids, sharp-shooters-widow pioneers,
Maids the battalion, and wives fusiliers"
But the Government of the present day hav-
ing but little gallantry in their composition,
declined accepting the services of the white
sergent" she retired in high dudgeon. The
appointment of the Irish corps while the
Government will not trust their countrymen
with arms is an unkind cut. but they would
be fools to trust the Ribbon-men with arms,
and they cannot, and will not make distinc-
ton.

OPIUM INToxIcATIoN.-We are accustomed
to believe that the opium eater is the most
miserable of drunkards. but Sir John Bow
ring, iu speaking of the use of opium in
China, contrasted with the use of intoxica-
ting liquor, says:
Some in China use opium to excess, and
all consume it yet the deaths from the use
of it only amounted to four year out OF
ninety thousand. In England the deaths
from delirium tremens were four times as
great. Opium does not lead to crime or acts
of violence. The habit of intoxication has
become extirpated in China. Formerly the
Chinese were greatly addicted to intoxica-
ton. The opium smoker Dreams and fancies
delightful visions, while the man intoxicated
with drink becomes perfect ruffian.

has paid off all his indebtedness. He pravs
that no prosecution may be brought against
him, for his family's sake, and he hopes that

he will even come back and give up his BODY

earnest penitence for past wrongs. He does
not speak of the wrongs done to his wife. nor
the special outrages to those who had taken
him to their bosoms and trusted him as a

Three men of Missouri, Messrs. Bennett, of
Parksville, Brown, of West Point, and Bell,
of Lafayette county, started over into Kan

fugitive slave, who was understood to be in
the vicinity of Ossawattomie Night drove
them to shelter, and they obtained it with
a man named Taylor. When all had retired,
and the weary travellers were about giving
themselves up to sleep, voices were heard
without, and the tramp of many feet betrayed
the presence of large company oof men,
who soon demanded admission into the
house, or that the strangers be sent or
brought to them.
To save the house and property of their
host from ashes, and probably their own
lives, the Missourians surrendered, and dress
ed and went out. Once in the hands of the
brigands, they were compelled to suffer nu-
merous personal indignities. They brough
the very negro whom their prisoners were
in search of, and made him confront them and
cast the lie in their teeth their hats and
coats were taken off and given to him, and
one of the men was compelled to wear the

them was given to the negro, and those of
the other two taken to be sold, and the pro.
ceeds, we suppose, applied to the "Jayhawk"
fund. About seven or eight hundred dollars
worth OF property was taken.
Then caucus was held as to what should
be done with the prisoners, part of the band
