THE IMPERIAL GENERALS.

Miramon, whose death has been more
than once reported, is likely to head
three or four more revolutions unless
Juarez happens to shoot him. When
brought TO the Capuchina four days ago
from the house where he had been con-
fined since his capture, his first act was
to order and eat an excellent dinner.
His next to open a dozen of wine, and
send for three days friends to help him
drink it. Tolerably lively that for a
dying man. MiramOn's wound is IN
truth "a very slight one, but singularly
enough will disfgure bis face exactly as
his coadiutor Marquez's is distgured.
TO MARQUEE this is no loss. Wounded
or not wounded he was never other than
an ugly, ill-favored fellow. But Mira
mon, with his regular features, clear
complexion and natty brown moustache
and beard, was quite good looking, and
is vain enough TO feel his Disagreement
acutely, even though he should be led
out to execution tomorrow.
Meiia, General-in- Chief of the impe-
rial cavalry land, with MiramoD, Gen
eral-in. Chief of the infantry, the only
two thus far placed on trial with the
TO his fate. Nothing thai the republi.
can government can do will shorten his
life much. He is dying slowly of an
incurable disease +; yet the little Indian
manifests now and then bursts of his
old energy. Had the confidence which
was reposed in him dnring the last
days of the siege been placed there al
first, Macmillan would never have been
caught IN Queretaro like rat in trap
Even now Meiia would be dangerous
man to let loose. though his humanity

whom he has had prisoners at various

the dedication of the Antietam National
Cemetery held a meeting recently. Among
other business transacted was the adoption
OF resolution cordially inviting the Presi-
dent OF the United States and cabinet, and
the members Of both houses, TO extend their

Last Thursday afternoon, about five
O'Clock, large crowd had assembled in
the Fair grounds of the Springfield
Union Agricultural Association, when
sharp thunderstorm suddenly came
up. The rain began to fall, and the
crowd sought refuge from its effects in
the exhibition sheds. A flash of light
ming took place, accompanied by loud
peal of thunder, and instantly an awful
spectacle was presented.
The lightning struck one of the sheds
which contained men, women and
horses. About hundred persons were
paralyzed in an instant, falling on their
faces, an as many as fifty were render
ed insensible for five or ten minutes,
while about dozen were quite serious
ly burned. Two horses We're killed on
the spot. An old gentleman named
John Gordenier and two or three 9th
ers are not expected to recover. One
woman was Frustrated and deprived of
her senses but not of her power of To-
comOtion; she instinctiveiy gathered
herself up and ran to the bus and was
conveyed to Holmes Hotel, and de-
clares she had no knowledge of what
| took place after the fash until she
found herself iE a room at the house.
The lightning struck post In the
&C. ire of the shed, against which
II nry Tillon, the landlord of the
! West Falls Hotel, was leaning, and to
which a horse was attached by a chain
halter. The horse was killed instantly,
while Mr.. Tillou escaped by being daz-
zled and knocked down. A singular
fact mentioned in connection with the
strange freak of the electric fluid is
that all the persons rendered insensible
fell upon their faces.
A young lady named Miss Nellie
Casey, who wore a white and black
checked dress, was quite seriously IN
jured, and her dress was fairly scorch,
ed, but did not take fire. Another wo-
man was struck on the shoulder, the
fluid passing down her side raising q
perfect blister In its course. A man
from Otto was hit on the right side Of
the head, and on his recovery the mark
was found to commence at the right
eye, which was swelled like puff ball,
and could he plainly traced down the
neck, across the chest aud off the left
arm.
The most fearful CONSERVATION ex
listed among the people until it was dis
covered how light the injuries were
that had been inflicted, and the excite
ment was most intense. A great many
attributed the stroke to the attraction
of moving machine which stood neaI
the shed, but two boys who were sit
ting on it at the time escaped uninlur
ed, nor was the machine at all damaged
if struck.
A valuable mare which was hitched
to the pole was knocked down, and
died on Friday from the effects OF the
lightning.
III such thunderbolts visit fail
grounds, other establishments may ex
pect to be visited; but, thanks TO tbt
| genius of the immortal Franklin, ampl,
lprotection is afforded TO all who avail
themselves of the services of Lightning
rods.

A Horrible Affair at OneOnta, ". Y.

ALBANY, n. Y. Juno 81. About noon
on Tuesday last, in the village of
OneOnta, OtsegO comfy, Victor Beach,
son of the late Samuel Il. Beach, muir
dered bis mother by shooting her first
in the head and then IN the body. He
next shot himself, the ball entering his
right eye and passing out of the ear
When DeighboTs reached the house
Mrs. Beach lay upon the floor, Just
breathing her last, and her son near
her, the blood OOzing from his skull.
He soon reused up and began to talk,
saying that he was drunk and mad
that he meant to kill his mother and
destroy his own life; that on his re-
turn home he went up stairs and got a
revolver belonging TO his brother, Oscar
Beach, aud came down stairs and
found mis- mother engaged in making a
fire IN the stove; and that as soon as
he got a good opportunity he fired the
shot at her head and the other after
she fell upon the floor, and then made
the attempt upon his own life,
and was sorry he did not succeed
DR.. Meigs Case examined the wound oil
the murderer, and does not regard it as
dangerous. Beach was taken in charge
by Constable f.. w. Bennett, and Cor.
Oner Hendrix, of OtsegO, autographed
to come and hold the proper inquest.
! The prisoner was fully committed fol
murder, to await the action of the
Grand Jury, which cOnvenes IN August
1t is proper to state that Victor Btacl
is a cripple, having been accidentally
shot some years ago, the ball reaching
the region of the spine and there re
manning. He has no use of his RICH
hand, his right arm and leg are with
cred, and his whole physical and men
tai organization fearfully injured. Mrs
Beach was most estimable woman
and did all that a mother could for th'
| poor wretch that has taken her life. Sh'
was about fifty three years of age.

HIS INDIFFERENCE TO LIFE.

With all this it seems to me that
Macmillan is satisfied with his position
aud only so far anxious for his life In
that he knows. with his fate, is wrap
ped up that of most OF his foreign SOL
diers. For some days before the end
of the siege those nearest the person of
the Emperor formed an idea that he
deliberately court ed death. Once when
he stood in the plaza for full ten min
utes, while the shells were bursting so
near him that the concussion of the air
nearly carried him off his balance, this
idea was regarded as a fixed fact. ''My
firm belief" said Prince Salm- Salm af-
forwards, in bis quaint broken English.
els dhat he wanted TO be killed; only
wish ven he wants to do dat again he
will take somebody else NIT dim, not
me-" The Princes wish was reason
able enough; for the danger to which
the Emperor voluntarily and needlessly
exposed himself that day was not
slight. But no one now can say that
he is a coward, which would have been
said of him had he left with the French.
No one now can say that he deserted
his party, which would also have been
laid to his charge had he left MiramOn
and Marquee to fight it out by them
selves after accepting their proffered
assistance. His honor is satisfied, aud
he is careless as to the rest. Yet some
thought of the future, should he escape
with his life, enters into his c8'cu-
latiOns.
