h, A letter from Belgium gives some account
of the state Of health of the Princess Char
lotte. For three months she has never once
uttered the name of Macmillan. In her
most lucid moments, as in those of her great
est insanity, Mexico seems to have entirely
vanished from her memory. She never
speaks of her residence tfere-never in any
way alludes to the country of her misfor-
tune and sorrow. Her attacks of insanity
have become extremely rare and last a very
short time. For the past few months the
only way in which her infrmity OF mind
shows itself in fits Of clearing up. Sud-
denly, while appearing to be in her usual
tranquil melancholy condition, the Princess
will rise and say, st is frightfully dirty
here, it must be cleaned Immediately Of
course, in an instant servants are called in,
take out all the furniture, beat it, brooms
and busters, and go through with the form
Of cleaning up. The poor lady watches un-
s til the work is done, and then returns quiet
lv to her books or drawing There seems to
be no hope of return to the entire posses
sion OF her senses. '1eAt a4 ra'i. Z

ID 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 Sudden deaths, the experiment has
been tried in Europe, and reported to a
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 fonnd
who had-died from disease of the heart
Nine out of sixty.six had died from apo
plexy, while there were torty-six cases of
congestion OF the lungs-that is, the lungs
: were so full of blood they could not work,
there not being room enough for sufficient
quantity of air to enter to support life. The
causes that produce congestion ofIthe lungs
are cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels,
sitting still until chilled after being warm
ed with labor or a rapid walk, going too
suddenly from a close heated room into the
cold air, especially after speaking, and sud-
denly depressing news operating on the
blood. These causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance of them may serve to
'lengthcn lost under verdict of heart COM
plants. That disease is supposed to be in
evital,le and incurable; hence many do not
take, the pains they would to avoid sudden
death, if they knew it lay III their power.

"A TRUCuLENT 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 exccu-
ton, Theodorus himself commenced the
work of slaughter ua -.
He first shot ten Of them dead with his
own hand, then threw his revolver away,
drew his sword and leaped towards the
trembling prisoners. Eyeing them a mo-
ment, he seemed to chose one for whom. he
entertained perfect hatred, for lie 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 tiger who had tasted
blood, this seemed to increase his fury. He
foamed at the lips and his eyes becamt
bloodshot. After stabbing and cutting
about fifty with his own hands he rested,
and ordered that his chiefs should try their
hands, Many of them had personal hatreds
against the captives, and they proceeded
with an astonishing alacrity with the awful
task of 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
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 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. q
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 a foot deep.

How Womeu Fail rs Workers.

That clever and kindly Old Bachelor who
discusses social questions with such genial
wisdom in the pages Of Harper's Bazaar, tells
the following story to Illustrate the reason
why women do not usually prosper as well
as men in some of the professions for which
they would seem to be quite as well adapt
ed: = 's'isf
/ 1t seemed to me that women might espe-
cialy succeed as wood engravers, so went
to one of the most experienced and success
full engravers in the city and consulted with
him. = , sn9h y ~ coz na.ists -
Don't you see the difficulty 2" he asked
with great kindness and interest.
mol" said /, s.you must instruct me-"
"Wcll,' answered he, Il have employed
women here very often, and wish could
feel more encouraged, but the truth is, that
when young man comes to me and begins
his work, he feels that it is his ife's business,
how to cut his future out of the little blocks,
before him. Vile, family, home, happiness,
are all to be carved by his hand, and he set
ties steadily and earnestly to his labor, de-
termined to master it, and with every incite-
ment squirting him on. He can not marry
until be knows his trade 1t is exactly the
other way with the girl She may be as
poor as the youth, and as wholly dependent
upon her labor for her living. But she feels
that she will probably be married by-and-by,
and then she must give up wood engraving.
So she goes on listlessly; she has no ambi-
ton to excel; she does not feel that her
happiness depends upon it. She will mar
ry, and then her husbands wages will sup
port her. She may not say So" said the en-
graver, ""but she thinks SO, and it spoils her
work"
The same is true with regard to many en-
ployments in WHICH women have been en-
gagged. We know that as clerks at Wash
ington they are far less useful than men,
Their habits of work are much less accurate,
and they do not give their minds to their
duties with the same conseientiousness and
fidelity. The reason is the same as that
given by our old bachelor They do not
feel tina. these duties are the business oftheir
life, and that their whole success or failure
depends upon the manner in which they are
performed Whatever they do, love, mat
rimony, and the care of house of their own,
are always at the bottom OF their thoughts.

The storm of the past two days closed
IN cloudless sky. The polls opened ito
long strings ofvoters and the best of feel
ing prevailed. There is, however, a very
deep feeling prevailing, and itrequires Che
most judiciOus management to prevent q
riot occurring. Inethe Sheriff7s office, DUR
ing the day, Deputy Sheriffsc were being
enrolled for special duty in maintaining the
psace.e The number thus enrolled in this
city is reported at one thousand. Mayor
Kalbtieish, of Brooklyn, issued proclama-
tlon calling upon all good citizens to aid in
preserving the peace. and at his request
Sheriff Campbels otlK,ing's county, swore
in two thousand deputies. sISt
This is beautiful day. Votfngis pro-
gressing rapidly. About half thea egister-
ed vote of the city was polled at 10 O'Clock,
and the indications are that over 100000
votes will be polled. There have been no
disturbances and rev ARRESTS. =
In Brooklyn about twe-thirds of the re-
gistered vote has been cast at 10 O'Clock
The, total is likely to exceed $4,000. Of
course both cities give immense Democrat
ic majorities, and the size of the vote favors
the sue ess of all their regular Congress
sional candidates. Train and Savage, how
ever, are polling a large Irish vote in the
Fifth and Ninth Districts.
