= The Homer (La.) Nliad has the fol-
lowing startling statement: "We think

= We remember, says the Petersburg
znder, at the battle of the Wilderness a
gallant young Mississippian had fallen,
and at night, just before burying him,
there came a letter from her he loved
best. One of the group around his body,
a minister whose tenderness was woman
| ly, broke the silent tearfulness with which
he saw the dead letter; he took it and
laid it on the heart Of him whose heroic
heart was stiIled: "Bury it with him.
He will see it when he wakes" 1t was

says: "Let not our people think that
the throne of Macmillan is fabric OF
stability, for it's foundation is in Europe
10000 European bayonets support itnow
but as Miramon, Santa Anna, Comonfort
and the usurper Iturbide found their
places insecure and short-lived, so will
our simple-minded Austrian marine learn
after he is left to guide the Mexican ship
alone. The rapidity with which these
people reorganize is scarcely paralleled
Even now, foreigners who have long re-
sided in the capitol say the atmosphere is
rank with revolution"
Attempts at assassination, from po
litical motives, threaten to become cpl
demic in Europe. The recent attacks

one was made by young man, % years
of age, step-son of the well-known re-
publican refugee in London, Karl Blind
