A recent telegraphic summary of foreign
news contained an intimation that con-
spiracy against the life of the French en-
perOr has been discovered. As far as pos
sible the matter has been kept secret, but
the London Stars Paris correspondent
furnishes the following particulars: "The
story goes that fifteen men, armed with
pistols, who are generally said to be Ital-
ians, were to have been posted along the
Boulevard du Prince Eugene when the En-
peror was to be passing. If one failed in
carrying out his object, the second was to
have made an attempt to accomplish it !;
and if the second failed, the third was to
have taken his place, and so till one of the
fifteen had succeeded I have also heard,
but do not know whether it is the trutI,
or not, that all the censpirators have es-
capped, and that the Government is in a
state Of great alarm"

Napoleon and sIideII.


A London correspondent of the Wash
ingtOn Chronicle, says:
at is said that the Emperor Napoleon
actually did receive Mr.. sIidel at Cam
piegne; namely, bowed to him, said it was
a fine day; hoped he liked Paris; asked
him h0W long he intended remaining in it.
and then bowed him out Mr.. Slidelrs
Southern antipathies would have been
painfully excited had he known that, on
the same day, Madame Geffrard, who is
coal black, and the wife of the negro Pres
ident Of Hayti, was graciously received by
the. Empress as well as by the Emperor
Madame Gefrsrd has been in Paris for the
last two years, having brought her chill
dren over for the benefit of good Europe
an education. She lives in handsome
style but is Of a very retired manner, not
going at all into company, except to The pri-
Uats parties at the TiIleriss, where Mrs. Sill
dell never can have a chance Of being re-
ceived. The Empress was very fond of
her. She has just returned to Hayti."

A young lady, named Addie Jameson,
only sixteen years old, at New York. in
getting out of an omnibus, last spring,
fell and broke one Of her legs. A young
NJ. D. who lived in that street, had the SUI
fering girl taken into his boarding house,
close by, where he set the limb, and she
was then carried home. He continued his
attendance, fell in love with Miss J., and
finally offered her his hand in marriage.
She accepted but the girls father refused
his assent to the match, because the young
Doctor was poor, and as yet had little
practice. Sawbones thereupon made out
a bill at 81 per visit for 2lS visits, and
$50 for setting the broken leg. He meant
to be paid for his courting, If it had all
got to go for nothing. The old man, find
ing that he must pay some S4OO or $500
or lose his daughter, finally gave the
Doctor the latter on receiving receipt in
full, and the Juvenile Miss Jameson is
now Mrs. DR.. Grayson.

The Richmond Whig has letter from
Columbia, s. c., which says: git
Georgia has enacted by her Legislature
that every Yankee found within her bor-
ders after, the 1st of January, shall, if
caught, behUng. Gov. Pickens has recon-
mended the same and our Legislature will
enact it. Such should be the action of ey-
cry Southern State. Have you reflected
upon the consequence of Lincoln's procla-
nation, if it could be carried out? Read
the history Of the massacres in St. Domin-
go, the horrid outrages committed by mere
brutes, uncivilized negroes, upon tender
and defenseless women. Thank heaven !
we have no apprehensions from our faith
fulnegrOes; but the crime has been none the
less upon the part Of the vile Abolitionists.
They gloat in anticipation over the scenes
Of horror which they fancy will ensue
Let but one thought animate the hearts Of
our brave soldiers, and nerve their arms
to have the hearts blood of every scoun-
drel who pollutes our soil, and whose soul
is black with the infamy Of the deeds
which, fortunately, they are impotent to
execute.

The Washington Chronicle says that it is
time that sll charges that the decision Of
the Government in the Trent affair was
made known in advance to interested par
ties for specializing purposes, was put 10
rest and it gives an apparently official
statement as to the circumstances attend
ing that decision. It says that previous to
the reception, by Lord Lyons, Of instruc-
tlcns from this G0yernment, the President
and Secretary of State left the question at
rest with the exception Of the dispateh
from Mr.. Seward to Minister Adams that
the Government would do all that was rea-
sOnable in the matter. When the cabinet
had finally come to decision upon it, no
advanced information was sent or given
to anybody, and none could have been sent
abroad in advance, for not even the Pres
ident or Secretary knew what disposition
would be made Of it in time to eommuni-
cate 10 any steamer previous to the one
which conveyed the official paper. Rus
sells telegraph to a friend in New York to
60 into Wall street and act as if he had
heard good news was sent upon mere spec
ulatiOn, and not certainty as to any friend
ly settlement having been made.

The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
has decided that dress-making is q manu-
fscture, and as such, if carried on to an
extent exceeding 81, 900 per year, includ-
ing price Of goods, requires a license. The
dress-maker is required to make monthly
returns, and to pay tax fthree per cent.
on the whole value Of her manufactures.
When dress-maker makes up goods be-
longing to her customers, she is required
to make return Of the same and to pay tax
upon them; but she is authorized BY the
law (Sec.69) to add the tar to her bill for
labor, and has a Zen upon the dresses un-
til the bill is paid.

Suffering of the Rebel Troops.

A dispatch from Cairo, speaking of the
story Of scouts from the rebel army, says
"These men say the condition of the
rebel troops is horrible. When the snow
fell in October, one of them traced some
soldiers by bloody tracks left by barefooted
men. They say they are badly treated.
Seven hundred men lately threw down
their arms and refused to 20 any further.
The Government had not kept faith with
them, and they reYolted."

Proposals ior Peace by the Rebels.

The New York Tribune, Of Friday, pub
Hsbed long report of the proposals for
peace which the rebels had submitted to
the Federal Government, though Fernan-
do Wood, of New York, and also those
which one DR.. Barney, Of Baltimore, lately
from Richmond, reported the rebels were
ready to offer. The substance of the in
formation brought by DR.. Barney was re-
ported by telegraph. The correspondent
Of the Tribune was confident that all
these endeavors to secure an amnesty and
peace had really been made.
But in Saturdays Tribune is a complete
refutation of the whole story. No pro-
pOsals had been made to the Government,
and nothing whatever of the matter was
known officially to the authorities so that
the whole story, which was highly i'm
probable, goes for nothing.
The Richmond Whig alludes to a aPeace"
rumor and declares that nothing short Of
q suspension Of war against the rebels
win secure permanent peace. The man
Whoat the North talks about peace must
have made up his mind that the rebellion
cannot or ought not to be crushed.

Concerning Mules and how to shoe them.
A correspondent writes from Washing
ton this description Of the mule shoeing
shops:
"The shOeing shops are the places of
greatest interest. In one long shed hun
dred blacksmiths are hammering away at
horses. In another, the more tractable of
the mules are put through the process.
Usually, however, these latter animals
are such awful kickers and plungers that
few will attempt to operate upon them. For
such unruly gentlemen, Messrs. Allen and
Snow, after long and patient investigation,
have invented a process which for origi-
nality Of genius and adaptability to the
freaks Of the mules, cannot be surpassed.
An oblong pen is built of the heaviest tim
Der. A stout windlass is at the upper end,
and from the top three broad straps hang
down. The machine is of great strength
and very simply constructed. 1t takes
a half q dozen men to operate it, and a
mule is "put through in six minutes, by
the watch.
"a contraband brings each mule into
the yard, and a head halter is the only
harness upon him. AS if by intuition, the
animal seems to know what is to happen
him, and Of course refuses 10 20 into the
pen. To remedy this, a rope from the
windlass is fastened to the halter, and
man winds it up, drawing the struggling
mule into the machine. The animal
being once in, two Of the straps which
hang from above are passed under his
body, and the third across his breast, and
another man, by q capstan arrangement,
winds them up, and thus raises the mule
from the ground. This of course, is ac-
companied with another series of kicks
and lurches, by the aid Of which a slip
moose is fastened on eachleg and the mule
when he is done the performance, finds
each foot securely fastened under O curv--
cd iron bar, and his head chained down.
Four blaeksmiihs, one at each foot, 20 to
work, and the shoes are on in less time
than it takes to describe it.
"Fsw can imagine the terrific struggling
of these mules. They plunge forward and
rock sideways lurch and kick
but this machine secures them in every
direction. If the animal rushes forward
the strap across his breast suddenly stops
his career in mid-air; if he jerks back
ward, the rope from the windlass almost |
jerks his head off. Rocking sideways is
only at the expense of his own ribs, which
beat a tattoo against the stout timbers of
the pen. He cannot rear up, for his head |
is chained down, and each foot being Sc
curely clamped kicking is out of question. !
Thus the animals every effort is baked, |
and after an abortive trial of all the kicks /
and jerks known to the community of mules, |
he gives up the fruitless contest; and down |
IN his knees, with dropping head, submits
10 the four sturdy blacksmiths who are
pounding away at his hoofs.
"When the work is done the clamps are
the straps let down, the wind
ass unwound, and the conquered mule
packs out Of the pen, convinced that ropes,
Gather, and human flesh, when properly |
applied, can master him. There are sixof |
hese machines in use at the corral, and
hey are so arranged that the animals can
lot hurt themselves"
