The Late Count WaIewski.

The Emperor of the French is OUTLYING
his adherants, and will probable outlive his
empire. Death is claiming the men who
gathered around him at the coup d etdt,
and has just taken away the celebrated
Count Walewski, man who in court cir
cles, and by the public generally, was be-
lIeved TO De the natural son of the Emperor
Napoleon L., and cousin of the present En-
peror.
Walewski was born in 1910, and began
his diplomatic career at the early age of
nineteen, by going ON a mission to England
in favor of the Poles. After the fall of Ma
poieon, Walewski ingratiated himself into
the Orleans family, and held Government
positions. He also wrote novels and plays.
and certainly showed marked versatility
of talent II not a remarkable intellect He
early attached himself to the fortunes of the
President Louis Napoleon. He was first
made ambassador to Florence in 1854 was
sent as French Minister to the Court of St
James, and the year after he became the
French Minister of Foreign affairs, presid-
ing over the celebrated Paris Congress of
1896. Later, he entered the Senate, and
for long time was regarded as the mouth
piece OF the Emperor. At the time of his
death, Walewski was amember of the Privy
Council, and the recipient of an income OF
100000 francs from the government
Though he has not been seen in public life
for some time he is yet believed to have
had constant and important influence
over the Emperor and his policy.
Walewsh was emphatically a successful
politician. He always held high rank in
France, and from his boyhood till the day
of his death, in his fifty-eighth year, was
IN the confidence of the French Govern
ment. He could, if so minded, have writ

Horrible BntcherY at Sea.

An Italian vessel, the Theresa, trading
on the coast of China, was recently the
scene of fearful slaughter committed by
coolies. The particulars of this tragedy
are as follows:
The Theresa left Macao on the 9th of
February with 900 coolies and cargo Of
silk, tea, &c. At the end OF 81 days she
arrived in sight of the shores of New Zea-
land While the crew were occupied in
the forepart of the vessel the coolies rush
ed to the cabins and seized the arms lying
there. They then attacked the crew, and
in about ten minutes a dozen sailors
lItalians) were killed, hacked to pieces and
flung into the sea. The second mate, who
defended himself bravely, received the con-
tents of a gun fred close to him by sail
or who was forced by the coolies to COM
nit the murder. The boatswain's mate
received nineteen wounds, and was put in
irons. After so days of horrible tortures
mails being driven into his head, he was
killed about AZ hours before the vessel ar
rived off the coast of China.
I, After having eZterminated ne arly the
whole OF the crew, the coolies began fight
ing among themselves, and fifty Of them
were killed, The victorious party then
proceeded to decapitate the dead, whose
heads, packed in boxes, were slowed away
10 the hold. The unfortunate wife of the
captain was confined between decks, and
was subjected to the most cruel treatment.
The majority of the coolies were pirates.
and we've perfectly acquainted with the use
of the compass and with the charts. They
compelled the captain to steer for The port
of Tim Pack. On arriving there the
Theresa was pillaged by them, and the
mandarins aided in stripping thevessel.
In this condition the vessel, abandoned BY
the pirates, arrived at Macao, having on
board the remainder of the crew, consist
ing of eight sailors and the wife OF the cap
tain. ~

Ancient Remains In WISCONSIN.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times,
writing from Fulton, Rock county, Wis,
says:
The basin of Rock river, with its tribu-
taries, is, perhaps, exceeded in no part of
the northwest in the interesting character
OF its aboriginal remains. Without partic-
ulArlzlng, those found a few miles above

beautiful lake, abouuding in fish, it may
/ be worth while To notice more at length the
very remarkable remains found at what has
been termed the ancient city of Aztalan. !"
/ This locality has. attracted much notice as
1 one of the wonders of the west, and exag-
! geFated accounts have gone forth of its
4 brick walls and buttresses, it's stone arches,
I&c., in all of which learn there is hardly
a shadow of truth.
/ On the west branch Of the Rocky River
may be seen q ridge of earth mot of brick
extending around three sides of an irregu-
iglar parallelogram the river forming the
fourth side. Its length at the north end
IS 63l feet, on the west side ], 419 feet, and
200 feet on the south side, making an ag-
gTegate length of 2, $50 feet, and enclosing
an area of Seventeen and two-thirds acres

intervals, varying from 81 to 50 feet giving
the appearance of so many mounds. with
connecting ridge Irregular masses of red
tclay IN the embankInert, in some instances
partially baked by burning grass or straw,
have led to the popular belief of the en-
pioymcnt of brick in the construction.
At the southwest corner of theinterior is
found q square truncated mound, having

around this pyramid, and is also protected
by two parallel walls outside the principal
embankment similar pyramidal eleva-
ton is found at the northwest corner,
while various low and small ridges are to
be seen within the enclosure, with con-
Meeting rings or circles, supposed to be
the remains of mud houses.
That the structure above described was
intended for sepulchral or religious uses
rather than for military defense, is made
probable by the disinterment of half burnt
human remains from one of the buttresses.

TTGgical Result of an Old Feud In Ken
tncky-TwO Men and one Woman
Killed.
Correspondence of Louisville Courier.

CRAB ORCHTRD, KY, Sept. 20, 186S.-A
year OF two since an unfortunate difficulty
occurred near this place at meeting
house, in which men named Anderson and
their friends upon one side, and the Adj
amses with their friends upon the other,
were engaged. In this fracas a man named
Simms, son-in-law of the elder Adams,
was killed, and several others on each side
were shot or otherwise wounded. A trial
at the time of each party resulted In an ac-
| quit tai Of all concerned A short time af-
ter this. as the elder Adams was returning
home from Lancaster, he was assassinated
by being shot from his buggy by some one
stationed in O church near the roadside.
The most deadly enmity has existed ever
since between the belligerents, and many
men have been suspected by the Adamses
as pdrt;ceps crirninis to the murder of their
father. Among the number accused, or
who was thought by the Adams family to
have been concerned in his death, was a
man named CuIamins, who lived near the
Lincoln and Pulaski county line, beyond
this place eight or ten miles. Threats have
I been made we learn, by the Adamses, up
on Cummins, and last night il eliminated
most tragically. 1t seems, from what we
can learn, that two of the Adamses, togeth-
er with three or four of their friends, went
to the house of Oummins at night, demand
ed admission, which was refused, and there
upon Rodney Adams broke down the door,
/ and as he entered was shot dead. The as

not known whether any others of the as
Isaulting party were injured or not 1t is
treported that the party took young Adams
away from the house. and carried him to
a house on the wayside, and left HIM, and
that one of the party told the landlord that
there was a dead man, his brother, aud he
wanted him TO stay there till morning; and
after putting pillow under his head, he
stopped down and kissed him. This is
thought to be young Mack Adams, the only
brother of Rodney, except small boy.

Cruel Treatment of Christians in Japan.

from the Hiogo Japan News July %.
| In our last issue on the 4th of June we
spoke of the report of the intended slaugh-
ter of native Christians at Nagasaki, and
then expressed our adherence of the act
and the necessity of immediate action by
our Ministers to prevent the accomplish

about the matter until the arrival of the

first batch of native Christians from the

on Saturday in the Sir Harry Parkes, des-
tination unknown.

say they are only TO be separated from their
families, the community here does not be-

into the sea- others beheaded and the re
naming he sent to toll for life in some of
the neighboring coal mines, and that all
other Christians are to be served in the
same manner He does not assert
this fact of his own knowledge, but gives
it as the statement of the friends Of the
poor fellows who are undergoing this pun
ishment, and is SO. much more to be relied
on than the statement made to the Consul
by the native officials.

The Very Latest Snake story.

An extraordinary snake affair has occurT-
ed at Winterhoek, England, according to
'Ethe most reliable correspondent" that ever
was, and shows how polite and peculiar the
snake can be to lovely women. large
snake of the cobra tribe, about feet 6
inches long, got unseen into a farmers
house, it is supposed on the Saturday af-
ternoon, and concealed itself under an har-
monium. On the Sunday afternoon, the
children being at school, the farmer and
his wife were quietly enjoying themselves
reading, the wife sitting in front of win
dow. The snake quietly crawled out, got
unperceiyed under the woman's crinoline,
and twisted itself round her leg from the
ankle to the knee, suggesting the clue to
the proceeding in which Mamma Eve was
concerned. This position it kept for up
wards of half an hour. The. farmers wife
all the while thinking it was her favorite
kitten, took no notice of it, until at length
wishing to eject the intruder, she slightly
raised her dress for the purpose. Judge
of her surprise on finding SO deadly a crea-
ture twisted round her leg She sat per-
feetly still, not even looking at her hus-
band, lest she should disturb the reptile.
At last it uncoiled itself, and then twisted
itself about her foot. The shoe fitted loose-
ly, and she softly withdrew her foot, made
one bound across the room, and called her
husbands attention to the cause of the dis
turbance. The savage creature now charged
the wife, and WIS only kept off by the
husband with his coat. 1t soon retreated,
and got under footstool, putting out his
head as if to threaten death to any one who
should approach it. A'stick was brought
to the farmer, who struck a terrible blow
at its head, but hit the stool instead, sbiy-
ering the stick to pieces. This exasperat-
ed the creature, which darted out at the
farmer, and was again kept at bay by the
coat. 1t at length retreated into the bed
room, where it was klled.--COaaf journal,

COURT OF APPEALS before CHIEF JUDGE

The company was organized, and COM
menced business in March, 1S47, and in
