which can safely be affirmed Bot
Garibaldi is on foot at last, and has
passed through Geneva on his way to
join his army of volunteers at thcir
headquarters At Como. The prussian
army, too, has not only entered llols-
tcin, bat its commander, General dc
MantouGeI, has dispersed BY force, as
hc threatened, the Assembly Of the
States Of that province at Itzohoo, has
arrested the Austrian Commissioner
who came to preside over the Assembly
aud protested against its dissolution,
and has sent him of to the fortress Of
Rendsburg. II seems scarcely possible
that Austria, who has already proposed
10 the Diet 70 call out all the Federal
army against Prussia, will stomach this
fresh insult. Nothing, in fact, but the

1t is not surprising that the Chief
Justice should not exhibit any ayidity
for the privilege Of presiding at the
trial of Mr.. Davis. What is the differ
cnce between the platform on which
Governor Chase stood in Ohio, aud that
upon which Mr.. Davis stood in Missis-
sippig Both took shelter under State
"soyereignty,' and both asserted the
right ola State TO act The only
difference IS, that Gov, Chase Invoked
State Sovereignty against slavery and
Mr. Davis invoked it for slavery.
We remember hearing an old politi-
clan once say, who had been somewhat

The Manufacture of Ewes.

A French paper gives some curious de-
tails on the manufacture of false eyes in
Paris. The average sale per week of eyes
intended for the human head amounts to
400. One of the leading "ocularists"
receives one in magnificent saloon, re-
splendent with gliding and mirrors. His
servant has but one, and if you want to
see the effect of one of the eyes, he rings
the bell and tries the eye in the wretched
servants head, so that you may Judge Of
the effect it would produce in your own
or that of your friend. He charges 4Of.
to 5Of. per eye.
For the poor there are second handed
visual organs, which have been worn for
year by some eyeless duke or nabob,
and exchanged for new one after twelve
months service. These are then sold to
the poorer classes at Il reduced price, or
sent off to America, India, or the Sand.
witch Islands, where the colored races are
not fastidious as regards the match. One
of Emperor Soulouquo's generals heard
of these artificial eyes, and.wrote to Paris
to order one.
The ocularist, fattering himself that a
successful one would secure for him one
of the Haytien crosses, devoted his utmost
intelligence to the production of a chef
deuvre. Six months elapsed, small
box reached him from Hayti. A cross
glittered in his imagination, when, 10 to
his horror, within folds of cotton, lay his
original eye, accompanied by the follow
ing note :-"Sir-the eye you forwarded
to me is of tint that resembles that of
the Spanish flag, and I am too patriotic to
wear any but the colors of my country"
The ocularist proceeded at once to the
Admiralty, there ascertained the colors
of the Haytien flag, and then manufac.
tured scarlet and green eye, which be
forwarded by the earliest opportunity.

An Unesrthly Story.

A very wierd story is current in the
hill country of Staffordshire. We have
been unable to verify the narrative with
anything like precision, and content our
selves with relating it as near as possible
as it was told to us by clergyman
One day last week carrier, with his
horse and cart, was taking the accustomed
journey between Buxton and Maccles-
field. After he had gone some distance
he was acoosted by wayfaring man, who
was Flooding along the road, who asked
for a lift. The carrier took the man up,
and then proceeded UPWARDS. After
while the carrier complained that his
hands were cold, and asked his CON.
panion to drive for him for time. The
man consented, and took hold of the reins
Before they had gone much farther, o
stranger on horseback-the horse, by the
way, was white one-overtook them,
and rode by the side of the cart. A con.
versation was commenced, which very
soon took the direction of the cattle
plague. Its devastating effects were dis.
cussed, and a parallel was drawn between
it and other calamities, past and future.
The stranger on horseback suddenly be-
came prophetic, saying that next year
there would be plague or blight among
the corn, which would destroy the fruits
of the earth, which would be followed the
next year by plague among mankind.
"Christians,' he said, would be dead on
tho roadside by hundreds-yes," he add
ed, lowering his voice, and addressing the
holder of the reins, "dead is the man who
is sitting by the side of corpse" The
stranger on horseback galloped away, and
tho temporary driver of the cart was left
to pursue. his journey with his mean-
choly burden.-Stafordshire Sentinel.

A Serpent in a Woman's Stomach.

ln the village of Lancaster, Erie coun-
ty, Pa, there is case that is of peculiar
interest, not only to medical men, but to
the general reader. There resides there
a Mrs. d., a German woman, who for
merly enjoyed good health, but who has
latterly been afflicted with singular and
terrible symptoms. Her complaint mani
tests itself in the form of paroxysms, which
commence in her inability to swallow
food, and which, after day or two, are
succeeded by several commissions, during
which she appears as if being choked, her
breath being at the same suspended, and
her countenance assuming livid color as
in ordinary strangulations. Six years ago
the patient was of good ordinary figure
and healthy appearance now she is
bloated and shapeless in form, her skin is
of tallow-like, cadaverous hue, and her
countenance wears a sunken, pinched and
anxious expression. These morbid symp-
toms have for the past few months rapid.
ly increased, each attack growing more
violent and distressing, and threatening
to terminate the woman's miserable ex-
istence. She believes there is snake in
her stomach, and that her terrible malady
is entirely owing to the presence and
growth of the reptile there. The move
ments of this creature during the periods
of disturbance and when it is deprived of
food Gf her theory be a true one), are
plainly discernible, even through the pa
tents clothing, and are often 80 violent
and prolonged to produce discoloratian of
the skin of the region of the stomach as
if FROM blows. 1t is the opinion of her
physician that living creature of some
sort, most probably snake, has taken up
his residence 10 the stomach of his pa.
tient. He had some experience in that
direction. He served two years in the
army, in the late war, as surgeon in New
York regiment, and while stationed in a
Southern State, he with another army sur.
geon, was called by resident physician
to assist in relieving a man of snake
that had got in his stomach. This mans
symptoms were almost precisely like those
of DR.. BIS patient in Lancaster. The
man was kept from food until the snake
became very hungry, when it was tempted
from its living lair by the smell of savory
viands. Its head was seized by the doc
tor, and its ugly length drawn forth. 1t
was more than a yard long, and must have
occupied the entire cavity of the mans
stomach. DR.. B. thinks his patient can
be relieved of the unwelcome tenant of
her stomach by the same method, but she
instinctively and naturally shrinks from
the trial. 1t is becoming daily more evi.
dent that she cannot survive, unless some
thing is done to remove the loathsome
creature. 1t will either strangle her in
the attempt to pass up the esophagus, or,
from its enlarged size and increased
strength, break through the case of the
stomach in some of its struggles for free
dom.-Enchange.

attempt was made to bail the water out
of the long boat, which was swampcd,
and having succeeded in doing so, fifteen
men were placed in it. Having only six
oars two were given to the small boat and
the latter was towed by the large one
still keeping within mile of the burning
ship.
At 9 p. NJ. the mizzen mast fell, and at
10 2. M. the vessel blew up, the fire hav-
ing reached that part of the hold in which
the 5000 boxes of Chinese fire crackers
were slowed.
