The day after Prince Earoleon re-
turned to Paris from Corsica, he receiv-

to see him. The Prince, who knew. very

my head, and / now bring it to you"
Sir" replied the Empress, with as
much stateliness and gravity as she
could muster up, 'tthe Minister has con-
veyed my orders to you, I am now
awaiting those OF the Emperor; 1 wish
you good morning" She then left
the room. Prince Napoleon went home
to the Palias Royal, and is now at Men

An Extensive Joke.

Yesterday, in the Yorkshire Sheriff
Court at Leeds, before Mr.. Wheelhouse,
barrister at law, the High Sheriff's as
SCISSOR, Dol. damages were awarded to
Walter Shaw. bobbin manufacturer, of
Dewsbury, who was the plaintiff in an
undefended action against Messrs. John
and James Gomersel and William
Thackrah, manufacturers of the same
place. On the 18th of February the
plaintiff wrote letter to Miss Sarah
Jane Gomersal, asking for an interview.
As the plaintiff had no intimacy with
the family to warrant this step, the de-
PENDANTS, who are the young lady's
brothers, sent letter to the plaintiff,
which appeared to have come from
their sister, and which invited him TO
their house on the night of the. 23d of
February. When he made his appear
ance on the premises the defendants
seized him and threw him into horse
trough full of water, In which they kept
him three minutes After that they
drenched him by means of a hose at
tached to water main, and then put
him in the water trough second time,
and finally kicked him off the premises.
In his letter to the young lady he had
stated that he had his eye upon anoth-
er fair creature in York, but he wished
to give Miss Gomersal the first chance.
In his action for assault and battrey he
laid the damages at 500. london Times.

Secretary Harlan Robbed of $4,000.

Again, we advise our readers to be on
their guard against the thieves who in
fest our city. The latest exploit was
robbing recently several boarders at
the National Hotel. Mrs. Harlan, wife
of the Secretary of the Interior, was
robbed, we understand, to the amount
of some $1,000. Her room was entered
during her absence, her trunks ransack-
ed, and everything of value distracted.
At the same time the room of gentle
man in the hotel was visited by robbers,
and over $500 in money and valuable
portmanteau carried off. In addition
to those mentioned, other rooms were
entered and robbed, the 'scamps sue
ceeding in escaping unmolested. Last
night, however, about IL o'clock, de-
tective Barry succeeded in arresting, at
Growers theatre, two young men,
named John Beigland and James Kier-
nan, on suspicion of having committed
the above robberies. Herman claims
to have been discharged from the
steamer Niagara ten days since, and
both profess TO hail from Philadelphia.
They were held for hearing at police
headquarters. - Washington Chronicle

DIERs.-The struggle for independence
has ceased. As soldiers of the Confed-
crate States-an army defending the
rights of your country -you won the re-
spect of your enemies and the admira-
ton of the civilized world. The power
when you could not resist has crushed
the hopes which you had cherished, and
compelled, by force OF arms, obedience
to the authority of the United States
You have obliged yourselves to abstain
from further acts of hostilities, and are
permitted to return to your homes to
follow your peaceful avocations without
molestation of your persons. The same
fidelity which you displayed upon the
battle fields should be shown in the new
engagements into which You have vol
unfairly entered. Go peacefully to
your. homes, cultivate friendly relations
with all, abst in from all hostile acts,
and discountenance every attempt ct
disorder. You will. have to forgive and
much to endure; but as courage has
been your characteristic on the field, let
the spirit of magnanimity and fortitnde
guide your actions in private life. When
the passions of the hour shall have sub
sided, q returning sense of justice will
compel the people whom we have SO
long resisted to concede that Justice

which inspired SO many acts of heroism

often displayed. To the Missouri troops

and firm discipline which they have
shown in the most trying emergencies.

Cost Of the War 10 the South.

The cost to the South by the War is
stated thus by Mr.. Williams, merchant
of Charleston, South Carolina:
'.Thus JEFF. Davis and his conductors,
upon the plea of military necessity,
took all the cash not only OF South Car
olina, but of Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Missis-
sippi, which in the aggregate amounts to
S76, 900, 600 las my informant speaks adj
visedly, as far as he does speak,, but as
he supposes they have abandoned all
their money and property in the seceed-
ed States, Mr.. Williams presumes the
same rules apply to other States as do
to the one Of his adoption.
In his State her citizens now find their
lands under their feet bare, their money,
merchandise and products gone, slavery
and the entire population
without the means of subsistence except
as they go to work and with their own
hands, hitherto unaccustomed to labor,
plant cereals and cotton, living upon
these productions. Thus, then, we can
see what a scene the entire Southern
country must present. They have lost
in slave property $4,000, 000,0 goo; also
five crops of cotton and rice, 81. 900, 000,-
900 banking capital, $40, 900, 600; rail
roads, in stock and destruction, S124,-
600, 900 tobacco, grain. &c, S3OO,000,-
OOO-so that their entire loss actual
capital is $500, 900, 900, alarger sum
than the entire federal debt. Add to
this their outstanding Indebtedness, to
remain forever unpaid, of $4,000, 000,-
600, and we see an entire loss and in
debtedness of So, 500, 900, 900 of the Con-
federate States, to say nothing of the
loss of human lie. The people now
find themselves without money, without
slave labor, without clothing and the
comforts of life. .t So.
A wonderful sum it has cost to teach
this people ''that all men are born tree
and equal"

Judge Vim. G. harkey, Provisional Gov
ernOr Of Mississippi.

The Cincinnati Times publishes the
following statement of an extraordinary
and revolving case, which was passed on
in the Mississippi Courts by Judge
Sharkey, some years ago: eg~ ~
A planter was afflicted with loath-
some disease. So offensive were the Ill
GERS that he was deserted by his white
friends, and while thus afflicted and for
saken, girl whom he owned as slave,
kindly and patiently waited on him,
dressed his ulcers, cleansed his person,
and watched over him until he eventu-
ally recovered With gratitude and
affection TO his benefactor, he took her
to Cincinnati, Ohio, executed to her a
deed of manumission, had it recorded,
returned to Mississippi, and there mar
.ried her in legal form. They lived to-
.gether affectionately for many years,
reared a family of children, and as he
lay upon his deathbed, by will he divid-
ed his property between his wife and
children. His brothers hearing of his
death, came forward and demanded his
property. The widow and children
were indignant at the demand They,
too, were seized, and the validity of
that marriage was tried before Judge
Sharkey, of that State, who decided
that the whole matter was fraud upon
the law of Slavery-that the property
belonged to the collateral heirs. His
widow was sold by his surviving broth
ers, the children were bid off at public
auction, and both mother and children

A miraculous escape from the hor-
rors of actually being buried alive has
Just taken place in New Orleans. A
person by the name of Martin was sup
posed to have died from disease of the
heart, and to every outward appearance
was dead. The attending physician
had given his certificate OF burial, GER
trying to the cause of death, and the
supposed corpse had been prepared,
shrouded IN the habiliments OF death
and encofined. Near and dear ones
had shed tears over the loss of one
whom they supposed dead, and whose
body they had carefully prepared for
the silent precints of the tomb, when the
fortunate thought suggested itself that
the body should be embalmed. The
necessary steps were taken, the coffin
carefully closed up, and the body sent
to an embalming establishment. Here
the process of embalmlng was in due
time entered upon. 1t appears that in
the process which preserves the body
from immediate decomposition the pre-
serving quality is infused into the main
artery of the arm. The incision with u
lancet is in the same manner as in the
case of blood-letting. The embalmer
had commenced his work by making the
necessary incision, and to his surprise
he discovered blood slowly oozing from
the vein. He knew there must be life
where blood wonld flow, and de-
sisted from his work of embalmiug. In a
few minutes more there was a slight
motion of his body, and presently the
man in The coffin made an effort to raise
himself, and, with assistance, did rise up
and speak. Gentle restoratives were
administered, and he desired to kno W
how it was that he found himself i'll a
coffin clothedwitha shroud. His friends,
to their utter JOY, were advised of what
had taken place, and he was sent to the
hospital instead of the grave, where he
is in fair way of recovering. This rs,
indeed, miraculous escape from the
clutches of death.

A Yankee N0tien---Dr Dio Lewis, the
latest apostle of gymnastics, is the prin-
cipal of what we may perhaps term q
Hygienic Educational Seminary for
Young Ladies', at Lexington, Mass, near
Boston, wherein Theodore ID. Weld is
one of the associates. We hear that, at
recent closing examination at this
seminary, one of the, exercises (if we
may so characterize It'll consisted of "a
careful measurement of the waist of the
pupils respectively, and comparison of
the resultin each instance with record
preserved of similar measurement at
the opening of the term, showing an
average net gain of 21-2 inches in cir
conference since the LIST os October last.
Some girls who entered upon the term
invalids had meantime been trained to
walk ten miles without fatigue; while
their intellectual progress has kept full
pace with their physical. A veteran
graduate of Harvard declared that he
had never listened to Latin recitations
at that renowned university equal to
those of the girls at Lexington.
