CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.--Very few of
the sudden deaths which are said to arise
from diseases of the heart do really arise
from that cause. To ascertain the real
origin of sndden deaths, the experiment has
been tried in Europe, and reported to u
scientific congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty
six cases of sudden death were made the
subject of thorough post norton examina-
ton. In these cases only two were found
who had died from disease of the heart.
Nine out of sixty six had died from apo
plexy, while there were iorty-six cases of
congestion of the lungs-that is, the lungs
were 80 full of blood they could not work,
there not being room enough for a sufficient
quantity of air to enter to support life. The
causes that produce congestion of the lungs
are cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels,
sitting still until chilled after being warm
ed with labor or rapid walk, going too
suddenly from close heated room into the
cold air, especially after speaking snd-
denly depressing news Operating on the
blood These causes of suddense1eRth being
known, an avoidance of them may serve to
lengthen lost under verdict of heart COM.
plants That disease is supposed to be in
evitable and incurable; hence many do not
take the pains they would to avoid sudden
death, if they knew it lay IN their power.

Lieutenant Colonel Margaret Ferreira and
Captain Anita Giel arc the female officers in

where q very respectable force of women
and girls are held under arms to dispute the
passage of the river by the Allies This is
from Paraguay, and every well-informed
person in military matters knows that they
are correct:
Brigadier General Eliba Lynch, with the
main body of the female army, is encamped
midway between the pass of the river and q
small inland town. On the road so Villa

guerilla portion Of the campaign-or what
is termed here the guerra de recursos"-is
entrusted to the women of Paraguay; and
reliable data have been received that the
troops to the north, near the Tranquera Lo.
reto are exclusively composed of women.
As to the exact number of women under
arms in Paraguay at present it is impossible
to say, owing to the varied and conflicting
statements; but for years past great por-
ton of the heavy work attaching on camp
life has besh performed by the. unfortunate
daughters of that once lovei5 country.-
Even in the trenches aronnd I>umaity- the
weak arm of woman has shovel ont sthe
earth to make a grave for the II E1hyatl-
ers; females chasques have gone from point
to point over the country with dispatches;
the steamers and vessels in the port of AS
uncion have been alternately discharged and
laden by the trembling hands of the women
in the capital.
Everything of worth and value that these
poor women possessed has been snatched
from them to assist in the defence of their
country. They have toiled in the field for
the last thirty years; they have sowed,
raised and harvested the crops; they have
made clothes for the soldiers from the fibres
of plants; they have maintained the hos
pitfalls, cared for the wounded and sick they
have supplied the army-and now, with sa
tanic power they are dragged to the front
and placed in the breach to fight the whole
Allied army.

A FREQUENT MoNARCH.-The most
frightfnl accounts are given by the CORES
pondents in Ayssinia of the massacre of
prisoners at Magdala just before the fall of
that stronghold. After stripping the clothes
from those whom he had ordered for execu-
ton, Theodorus himself commenced the
work of aughter
He first shot ten of them dead with his
own hand, then threw his revolver away,
drew his sword and lcaped towards the
trembling prisoners. Eyeing them mo-
ment, he seemed to chose one for whom he
entertained a perfect hatred, for he said,
All, your hour has come am going to
drink your blood, and, raising his sword.
he cut his head off at one blow, and then
drew it again across his abdomen. Theo-
dorus' face and clothes were covered with
blood, and like a tiger who had tasted
blood, this seemed to increase his fury. He
foamed at the lips and his eyes becam.
bloodshot. After stabbing and cutting
about fifty with his own hands he rested,
ard ordered that his chiefs should try their
hands. Many of them had personal ratreds
against the captives, and they proceeded
with an astonishing alacrity with the awful
task uf massacre. Whenever he witnessed
dexterous blows he applauded, but when he
saw cuts given that but MANNED the poor
wretches, the King would spring up and
demonstrate what an easy matter it was to
send heads clean off the shoulders, by choos-
ing strong, sturdy prisoner and decapita-
ting him with his own hand. A boy prince,
son of one of the rebellious governors, vino
was still at large, was next killed by a
sweeping blow, which took his head and
left arm off In about an hour and half
from the commencement of the wholesale
execution the massacre was completed and
as fast as each one had been slain the body
was carried to the edge of the cliff and
thrown down a height of fifty feet or more.
At the bottom of the cliff were several great
rocks scattered here and there, and these
were covered with brains and blood. A
CHASTITY heap of corrupted flesh was all that
was left of three hundred and eight human
souls, who but shortly before had been the
friends in captivity OF the Europeans. The
human shambles contained pools of blood
and gore in several places nearly foot deep.

LONDON, April 25-Evening at
tempted assassination of Prince Alfred by
the Fenian, Farrell, has produced the most
profound excitement from one end Of the
nation TO other. NJ
The press teens with denunciations of
the assassin; and among the people, with
whom the Prince was favorite, tho crime
forms the great topic of conversation.
LONDON, April 26.-Advices from Sydney,
New South Wales, dated March 81, state
that Prince Alfred was recovering from the
effect of his wound. lr VA ur-rU
LONDON, April 25-Evening. The trial
of the Clerkenwell prisoners was resumed at
the OLD Bailey to-day. The case for the de-
fence was opened and the evidence taken.
-Four of the witnesses swore that the pri-
soner, Barrett, was in Glasgow on the 18th
of December, the day on which the Clsrken-
well explosion occurred. e4
Though subjected to most rigid cross
examination, their testimony was unshaken
Many other witnesses were examined by the
defence, when the case rested.
The Attorney General then summed up
the case for the prosecution. He urged that
the proof against all the prisoners was es
tablished beyond doubt. He was com.
PEELED to admit that there were serious
doubts about the completely of Timothy
Desmond, but he contended that there was
no doubt in the case of Barrett. He ridi-
culed the attempt to prove an ali6i in the
case of the latter, saying that all efforts in
that direction had been strongly outweighed
by direct proof.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

HAVANA, April 25.-Late advices from
Mexico have been received. Many foreigners
were arrested during the past month, but
only four were expelled from the country,
none of them Frenchmen.
Negrete, with about five hundred men, is
openly in arms against the government.
The war in Sinaloa is progressing. The
revolutionists had three thousand men and
the government troops under Corona were
five thousand strong.
Tho commerce of Vera Cruz and other
towns was completely paralyzed.
Ortegas party is making strong exertious,
aud ia allied with chiefs, Negrcte, Don Gal.

The stages leaving the capital are robbed
almost regularly.
The war of races continues in Balize, and
the English are gaining ground.
San Francisco, April 25.--MexicaD in.
telligence, received here by the steamer
Colorado, confirms the reported submission
of Jimonez to the supreme government of
the State of Guerrero. General Aerei has
accepted the submission on behalf of the
General Government aud Jimenez has dis.
banded his troops Affairs are quiet in
Guerrero, and there is now no opposition to
the will of Alvarez.
Advices from Guadalajsr state that the
commander of tho forces has been ordered
to Join Corona at Sinaloa, but that he had
refused to obey. Rentera and Velasco had
collected force of about thirteen hundred
men, and were levying contributions on the
inhabitants Of the State of Bajio, which
compels the General Government to LOld

have just been received from Abyssinis, which
gave the following highly important and
gratifying intelligence A battle was fought
on Good Friday, before Magdala, between
the British troops, commanded by Napier,
and the Abyssinian forces under command
of King Theodore in person. The Abyssinians
were defeated, and retreated into the town,
losing very heavily in killed and wounded.
On the following Monday, all his prepa-
rations having been completed, Gen. Napier
ordered an assault upon Magdsla, aud the
town and citadel were carried by storm, and
King Theodore was slain. A large number
of his warriors were killed, wounded and
captured.
The entire capital remained in possession
of the British forces. The loss of the British
was small. All the British captives were
found in the city alive and well, aud were
set free. General Napier's instant return to
the coast is expected.

Col. DAoKERY, native of North Caro-.
lima, and q citizen of great respectability
and influence, made a speech at recent
Republican meeting in that State, in the
course of which he enunciated this caustic
truth:
The Democrats object to every possible
plan. of reconstruction, and propose nothing.
They raise the cry Of social equality"
"white children to be bound to black
masters NEGRO supremacy" and others
equally absurd. You recolect at the COM
mencementof the war there were many down
here who Dragged that one Southerner
could whip ten Yankees, and now it seems
from their great fear of the negroes ruling
this country that they believed that one
negro could whip ten Southern men Laugh
ter for there is white majority in nearly
every State in the Union, and there are ten
white men to one colored man in the Uni.
ted States.
The South voted down the constitution
of 1S65-why 2 Not word about negro
suffrage, not word about mixed schools,
nothing about negro militia; they rejected
the Howard amendment, they rejected that
constitution, and now they are trying to

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PREsIDENT.-The
trial of President johnson is progressing,
and will not be concluded until about the
last of this week. Mr.. Stanbery will file
bis speech for the President, and Judge
Bingham will close the argument, commen-
cling on Thursday, and occupy about two
days. Mr.. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, made
an eloquent speech in favor Of the President,
6 few days since, and Mr. Evarts, of New
York, a very able one on Wednesday. The
speeches of Thaddeus Stevens and Thomas
Williams, of this State, arc very able argu.
,nents. That of Mr.. Stevens the New York
Tribune pronounces tho most logical and
pointed of any delivered in this case, The
evidence clearly establishes the principal
charges, and if the President cannot be con
victed under it, he may as well, hereafter
claim with the Monarchs of Europe, the
prerogative, tba. "the King can do. nc

The Southern Elections.

Arkansas haq ratified the new Constitution,
and has chosen the Republican Governor,
members of Congress, and large majority
of the Legislature. The Republicans polled
over fifteen thousand white votes, and
were bitterly opposed by all the old leading
rebels, with few honorable exceptions
In this State the election was contested
with great earnestness in the hope Of defst.
ing the Constitution and thus postponing
to an indefinite period the restoration Of
the State.
In Louisiana the Republicans have carried
everything except one member Of Congress,
lin the New Orleans district,) and his elcc-
tiou will be contested on the grounds Of
frauds by which his success was obtained.
The majority will be from 10000 to 10000
on tine Constitu tion.
South Carolina has covered herself with
glory. Being the first State TO raise the
banner of rebellion and treason, she will be
the FIRST, or among the first to resume her
place in the Union. The Republicans there
have carried everything The majority for
the Constitution is over 1000

GEoRGIA.-Who would believe that after
all the telegraphc misrepresentation that
the Constitution had been defeated in Geor
gia, that GORDON, late rebel General, and q
maj ority of the Legislature OF the SAINT
stripe, had been chosen-thc Republican:
have achieved a victory there Such is the
fact The Constitution has been ratified
and Republican Governor and Legista
ture chosen. Perhaps two Democratic
members of Congress have been chosen. Ii
all these States large proportion of th,
Republican vote came from the native white
population. And in these all the bitteres
opposition was made by those were ole
politicians before secession and who took
| prominent part in the rebellion. Owing
to the encouragement given to them by An
drew johnson, they have not lost ono drol
of rebel blood.
