TIE celebrity With which the execution Of
the conspirators at Washington followed the
approval of the sentence. has attracted some
deal of attention. 1t is worth while to re.
call in this connection the proceedings in
the case of Bellingham, the murderer of Mr..
Perceval. prime minister of England, in the
year 1872, especially as the assassination of
Mr.. Perceval has often been compared to
the murder Of the President.
Bellingham committed his crime at about
five in the afternoon of Monday. May 1lth.
1919. His trial took place at the Old
Bailey, on Friday the 10Th; he was at once
found guilty, and was executed at 8 O'clock
on Monday morning the lsth-a full week
from the date Of the fatal deed not having
expired. ss....

A Striking Scene.

The controversy in England about our
civil war appears to CO growing warmer ev.
cry day, and strong feeling is manifested on
both sides. The snti-slsvery policy of the
United States Government has added large.

English friends. At recent great meeting

who has recently visited this country, made

Insanity the Result Of q Joke.

There is now in q female lunatic asy-
lum at Hammersmith, says the London
Court Circular. lady Of exquisite beau
ty,who was driven mad by being suddenly
started by ker maid. The lady's name
is H, and she resided with her hus-
band, Mr.. H, q wealthy shoemaker,
at q splendid mansion in Csvendish
Square. .."'ag
One evening about six weeks ago, she
strolled in the dusk into her husbands
library, to procure book. The lady's
maid saw her enter the apartment, and
in a mere frolic concealed herself behind
the curtains belonging to the window,
until her mistress had placed her hand
upon the work she came in search OF,
when she suddenly sprang upon her
with loud shout. The lady was go as.
founded by the shock that che was struck
senseless. Delirium ensued; confirmed
madness followed, which has ever since
continued without abatement, to q de.
gree dangerous to all who come near her.
Her propensi,ies are fierce and vicious:
she tries to bite all who come near her.
and it is more than probable that she
will never recover her reason.

Aim at Something.

Arthur Gilman, in one of bis public ad
dresses. tells what be calls an Andover story,
One day, he says, man went into store
there, and began telling about fire. "There
had never been such fire" ho said, "in the
county Of Essex. A man, going by Deacon
PettiDgill's barn, saw an owl on the ridge.
pole. He fred at the owl, and the waddiDg,
somehow or other, getting into the shingles,
set the hay on fire. and it was all destroyed

finest horse in the country etc. The des.

the store began exclaiming and commenting
upon it. "What !oss" says one. "Why,
the deacon will nigh break down under it,"
says another. And 90 they went on specu.
lating, one after another, and the conversa.
ton drifted on all sorts Of conjectures. At
last quiet man, who sat splitting in the fire,
looked up and asked, did he hit the otcl?"
That was for getting at the point of the
thing. Let all public speakers, in the pul.
pit and elsewhere, heed the moral. Did you
aim at something, and did you bit what you
aimed at? No matter about the splurge,
and the smoke and the hay. "did you hit the
owl?"

New ORLEANS, June 6, 1865.
GENTLEMES:--I should hardly feel at
liberty to decline the invitation you have
rendered to me in behalf Of the loyal col.
ored Americans OF New Orleans, to speak
to them on the subject of their rights and
duties as citiz' ms, il had not quite re.

in an address reported with substantial
accuracy, and already published in one
Of the most widely circulated journals oil
this city. But il seems superfuous 10 re.
peat them before another audience.
II is proper to say, however, that these
views, having been formed years since or
much reflection, and confirmed in new
and broader application by the events Of
civil war now happily ended, are moi
likely 10 undergo hereafter any material
change.
That native freemen, OF whatever com
plexion. are citizens Of the United States
that sll men held as slaves In the State,
which joined In rebellion against the Uni
ted States, have become freemen through
executive and legislative acts during th,
war; and that these freemen are now citi
Gems, and consequently entitled to the
rights Of citizens, are propositions which
in my judgment cannot be successfully
controverted. ,t. ..- ..- .
And it is both natural and right thai
colored Americans, entitled TO their right,
as citizens, should claim their exercise
They should persist in this claim respect
fully but firmly, taking care to bring n,
discredit upon il by their own actions
Its justice is acknowledged by great mum

these numbers are constantly increasing.
The peculiar conditions, however. un
der which these rights arise seem to i'm
pose on those who assert them peculiar
duties, or rather special obligation to th,
discharge of common duties. They
should strive for distinction by industry,

practice of Christian virtues. In this way
they will surely overcome unjust hostili.
