"No, no, Jennie, could not do that. IF
you ever need me, shall be only too happy to
serve you; but, otherwise, hope this will be
our last meeting in the world. After all you
have been to me, and all have dream ed you
might be, could not bear to see you happy
with another, even though he is more worthy
of you"
She turned away, covering her face with her
dear little hands, sobbing as if her heart would

He walked from one to the other, growing,
troubled and perplexed. When Jennie began
to cry he seized my arm, dragged me across

The darling girl put both her arms around

A CHILD Born ON FREIGHT TRAIN.-Yes-
terday afternoon Conductor Row left Zanes-
vile with ''freight," on the Genital Ohio
Railroad, bound for this city. he had on board
q young and intelligent looking female, who
stated that she was penniless, and having been
East was returning to some relatives in New
ark. A few moments before the arrival of the
train at Newark the lady grew suddenly i'll,
and as the bell went ging into the town the
destitute passenger gave birth to male child.
Row called meeting Of freight and passen-
ger agents, conductors, engineer, iremen and
brakesmen, and after hasty consultation the
relatives of the mother and child were notified
Of the circumstances, and the train came on
to this city, minus a cabOOse which had been
left on the switch for the use Of the unfortun.
ate but still happy occupants. The employees
ofthe train rendered every assistance in their
power to the young mother and babe.-COI-

CoULDE'T KILL HMsELF.-A Frenchman,
resolved to be rid of life, went little before
high tide to a post set up by the sea side. He
had provided himself with ladder, a rope, a
pistol, bundle Ofmatches, and vial of poi
son. Ascending the ladder, he tied one end
of the rope to the post, and the other end
round his neck; then he took the poison, SET
his clothes on fire, put the muzzls of the pis-
tol to his head, and kicked away the ladder.
In kicking down the ladder be sloped the
pistol so that the ball missed bis head and
cut through the rope by which be was sus-
pended; be fell into the sea, thus extinguish-
ing the flames of his clothes, and the sea wa
ter which he invOluntarily swallowed, coun-
teracted the poison, and thus in spite of his
precautions, be remained unhanged, unshot,
imprisoned, unburned and undrowned.

guns had been planted 10 Vleksbufg BY or

pronounced in the House Of Representatives
at Washington, BY Mr.. Branch, to be untrue.
Bat the telegraph was righE snd Nr. Branch

sded BY order Of Gov. Pettus and all steam
boats passing are rvquired to round to and
give a account Of themselves. The infamy
Of this business needs no commentary at our
hands. We present the following extracts
cOnfirmatory Of tie statement; t4t
From the Memphis Avalanche, Jan. n.
Just above Yiokseurgh, BY direction Of
Gov. Pettus, battery has been erected, and
every Boat hsiling from north Of Mason and
Dixon's line ii compelled 70 round to, and
give an account ofthemselves. The Imperial,
from thls port, passed there during the night,
and was forced 70 land at the behest Of a
twelve-pound ahot fired across her bows. Of
course she was all right and went on. The
new Repujlio is going tOiWotk in earnest.
From the Memphis Appeal, Jan, 70.
Ths bHderso the Governor Of Mississippi
to place 5 battery Of guns si Nieksburg for
the purpose Of hailing steamers and causing
them to land, has been complied with, as we
learn from one Of the clerks Of the Simonds
who informs US that four guns are placed 81
the foot Of the bluff, a quarter Of mile
above the wharf-boat; that while the
Simonds lay there on her trip up the river,
blank cartridges were fred to bring TO and
cause 10 land the Gladiator, the Imperial and
the A. o. Tyl0r, and that il was understood
that ii the summons were not attended to,
the next gun fred would be ShOtte6- The
object OF the surveillance has not been
made known. l-i
From the Memphis Argus, jan 10,
Cincinnati steamboatmen have been thrown
into a fever from the Governor Of Mississippi
ordering cannon and a military company to
Vioksburgh to hail all steamboats, passing.
The Abolition journals Of Cincinnati howl
over it and are greatly incensed. We would
like to see them help themselves.

Napoleon to Rs.tnl.s Loulslana.

The New York Courier des Etats Unis, in
a recent number, cOntAinsA letter from an old
officer Of the French army, in which the wri-
ter pretexts that on a dissolution of the
Union, the present Emperor of the French
will makelah att6npt to recover the Louisi-
ana country ceded by the fEEt Napoleon. =
The protect Of such Remuneration" is found
in the following calculation, which, will be
seen, proceeds on an erroneous statement of
the facts with regard to ths terms Of the
Louisiana purchase: q Af ~ 9a-.i
Nov, you will ask me how these rssump-
tions could take place, and by what right
This IS very easy to explain. It is Louis Ma
poleon who would begin by very simple
and logical process ofreasoning, for every ono
knows that Napoleon III, aims at consolida
ting all that Napolean l. had in view with
regard to foreign policy. Now, Napoleon l.,
in 1903, ceded Louisiana TO the Unit. d States
for the sum Of $l5,000,O00, which the
Government OF the United States engaged 20
pay to the American merchants whose goods
and ships had been seized during the wars of
the French Republic, from 1892 to 1901, but
as the United States have not paid the afore-
said fifteen millions, and as, for more tLan
forty years, we have seen brought before Con-
gress, session after session, a French spolia-
ton bill, which has never been passed; there
fore, as soon as the Union shall be dissolved
those who claim this sum will address them
selves to Louis Napoleon; and have no doubt,
considering the character, that he will pay
their demands and retake Louisiana.
