colonel in the reign OF Louis XVI,
aud the last representative OF In9
younger branch of the once famous ducal
house Of the Ligny-Luxembourgs.-Co LOUIS,
who has just quilted this life almost unknown
and unnoticed. was currently reported 10 De no
other than the unfortunate Dauphin oil france
the child of Louis XVI and Marie AnJolneJte,
and who so mysteriously disappeared on the
decapitation of his royal parents Az al
events it is perfectly certain that on the entry
of the allies into Paris in 1914, COUNT LOUIS
de Luxembourg was presented TO
the Empress Josephine, who promised
him that his future should be safely assured,
lowing day. In the intervening night jose
phine died. Now this incident Is narrated also
in the "Memoires dun Pair de France" and IL
is therein clearly stated that the visitor 10 tne
Empress Josephine was the Dauphin. More
over, there are persons living who enjoyed the
confidence of Count Louis reputed father,
Count Charles de eLigny-Luxembourg, TO whom
affirm that Count Charles had admitted 10
them that, during the Reign of Terror, he was
one day requested to attend at the mouse OF
Beauharnals. He there met Madame Tallien,
and the ladies begged him to take under his
protection an infant, respecting whose Dlrtn
they would, at some future time, give him full
explanations. They furnished the Count with
ample funds and passport and helped him to
leave France, On the frontier, however, he
was arrested on account OF the resemblance
between the child he bore with him
and the missing Dauphin. The fugitives
were detained upwards of year in Inn
prisonment until josephine and Mime Tallien
obtained their release from Cochon, their Min-
lister of the Interior. A strange circumstance
OF the case that the child, who was called after
wards Count Louis, was admitted by the Rus
sian Government into the army, was soon
raised to the rank of major, and had his title of
Count confirmed without ever producing a
register of baptism, quite q violation of the
Russian laws. Count Louis had portrait OF
Marie Antoinette always hanging over the head
of his bed.

A LECTURE ON FLYNG.-At late meeting of
the Royal Institution in London, DR.. Petit
grew delivered lecture on the principle of
support and progression in the air. as exem-
plifed in the wings of birds and insects. He
pointed out the Importance of the screw move
ment, both as an instrument of support and
progress. A certain amount of weight in the
flying object was shown to be necessary to its
hold onthe air. DR.. Pettigrew has evidently
great faith in the ultimate success of the
attempt to devise an apparatus which shall
not only maintain itself in the air, but move
in a required direction; and the grounds of
his confidence are such as may well Justify
the belief that the feat is not impossible.

Arsol, about thirty-one miles from Rome

taking dates from 1858. An Anglo Roman
COMPANY, with limited responsibility, had to
furnish the necessary funds; it could not
succeed, and was replaced by an anonymous
BELGIAN one, called General Company of the
Water Works, which provided the required
capital, and offered to provide and lay down
metal conduits. If no unforeseen obstacle
intervenes, the water will be in Rome in two
years."

EARTHQUAKE IN MISSOURI AND KANSAS.
Shock at LeNvenwOrth, Kansas, LastIn &
Over Minute-UpheNving q OF the Earth
People Terribly Frightened,

LEAvENwoRTH, Kansas, April "a. A very
severe shock # an earthquake was felt here this
afternoon, at ten minutes before o'clock, and
lasted about seventy seconds. A low rumbling
noise was distinctly heard, followed by an up.
heaving of the earth causing buildings to rock
aud shiver like a ship in a storm. In less than
thirty seconds after the first shock was felt
nearly every man, woman, and child in the city
was in the street. pale and terror-stricken. The
weather was bright and warm. Persons stand
ing on the levee at the time state that the river,
which IS now very high, swelled up several
inches, and then receded to its usual mark. No
damage was done nor any one injured, except
through fright. This is the first shock which
has ever been felt in this section of country
since its settlement.
