Born TO LUCK.-The Collector of Gus
toms of the port of Georgetown, few
days ago, received magnificent collec-
tion of solid silver articles intended as
presents for President Grant, General
Sherman, ex-Secretary Seward and Mrs.
ex-president Lincoln. They were sent
to this country from Mexico by Saboo
lturbide in behalf of modest Mexican
who refused to have his name made
known, and said that, in his transport of
delight at the abolition of slavery, he
was prompted to prepare this little token
Tor some of tho principal actors in that
work. President Grant receives silver
coffee set of thirty-six pieces and some
dressed leopard skins. Gen. Sherman,
an egg-boiler and holder. For ex-Secre-
tary Seward there is IN inkstand and
pen-holder, most. ingeniously wrought,
besides call bell; and Mrs. Lincoln's
portion OF tho lot is heavy card -bas-
ket. All these articles are of solid silver,
without any dearth of metal, and of most
beautiful finish and workmanship. Pre-
sident Grants and Gen. Sherman's por-
lions were delivered yesterday. Some
idea may be formed of their value from
the fact that the duty on President
Grants lot was S748; on Gen. Sherman's.

A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER NOT ENTITLED
TO DAMAaEs.-Two cases were tried at
ABmance Superior Court, last week,
where three persons sued the North Ca
rolina Railroad Company for damages
sustained by an explosion of powder,
stowed IN the car in which they were rid
ing, about the close of the war. Ireland
and Duke obtained damages-the former
for $4,000, and the latter for $4,000.
Bot the point to which we direct atten-
tion is the decision of Judge Tourger in
the case of S. s. Turner, who also sued
for damages. The Judge decided that
inasmuch as Turner was Confederate
soldier, and on his way to report for
duty at Gen. Johnston's headquarters,
thus violating the law, he was not enti,
tied to recover damages from q common
carrier. From this decision the counsel
for Turner appealed to the Supreme
Court. IN. G. Press, July

SO certain are the Calfornians that
the problem of mrial navigation has been
solved by the machine that has Just been
invented in San Francisco, that one of
the papers positively announces: "With-
in four weeks the aerial steam carriage.
capable of conveying six persons, and
propelled at q rate exceeding the mini
mum speed of thirty miles an hour, will
wing its fight over the Sierra Nevada
on its way to New York and other re-
mote parts" This announcement was
made on June 26. and we may, therefore,
soon look for the appearance of the
great @rial steam carriage. When we
see it. we shall begin to believe that the
San Francisco paper knows what it
means by saying: "Within year we
shall travel habitually to New York, Eu-
rope and China by aerial carriages

PARIS, July 14.-As predicted in pre-.
vious dispatches, the Emperor yields his
assent to the demand of the Legislative
body, the nature of which has been
already stated. No change in the Min
istry has yet been announced, but the
reorganization of the Cabinet within O
short time is certain. Throughout the
whole of this crisis the Emperor has ex-
hibited his peculiar tact and shrewdness.
He invited nearly sll the deputies in the
Corps Legislatif to dinner and soiree at
st. Cloud this week. He has chatted
playfully with many of them, of all
shades Of opinion, giving expression to
many of those piquant sayings so attrac-
tive to Frenchmen. For instance, to
one, by whom he had been taken by the
button-hole. he said: "Ah! Monsieur
Buffet, you mean to take hold of my
coat for fear may pull back" To a
group of several, with whom he was con-
versing on the situation, he said: "You
begin to treat me like the old lion in the
fable, trying to cut my nails and take
out my teeth, and leave me nothing but
my name, which is considered harmless. -
TO others he said: "The elections prove
clearly that [ must choose between the
empire and revolution. Between neither
system can individuals be set up" To
others he said: 81 will give full satisfac-
tlon TO the liberal aspirations of ali par
ties, but have decided to cease conces-
sions at the boundaries prescribed in the
constitution"
While the Emperor's conduct for the
past few days Is regarded as adroit, it is
not considered likely to stop agitation
Tor further concessions and reform.
The Thlers party deeming the message
OF the Emperor satisfactory, have with
drawn the proposed Interpolation.
The Debats to-day, commenting on
the political reforms promised by the
Emperor, thinks it impossible to over
value their meaning, and unjust not to
be grateful for the Emperor's conces-
sions.
It is officially announced that the Sc
nate will be convoked for August Q. The
session of the Corps Legislatif will be
Immediately prorogued and designations
OF ministers accepted.
LONDON, July 16.-At Lurgan, Ire
land, on the 18th instant, an Orange
mob was pelted with stones. They re-
taliated by utterly destroying seventeen
houses occupied by Catholics. The
wood-Work of the buildings and furni-
ture was then carried into the street and
burned. Later adyices state order has
been restored. At Newry the Orange
Hall was attacked by party of Catho-
lies. The occupants fired on the assaii
ants, who were driven off, leaving three
badly wounded. r.

DEATH OF PRIZE FIGHTER few
weeks ago the papers of this locality con-
tanned an account of prize fight be-
tween couple of men in the town of
Covert, which resulted in the death of
one OF the parties es-McGraw-and the
escape of the other. Donnelly. Now
comes the sequel. A few days after the
death of McGraw, while the officers were
seeking Donnelly, word was received by
DIR. Wheeler, of Farmer Village, from
that individual, requesting his immedi-
ate attendance upon him. as he had fallen
from q rocky height and injured himself
severely. The Doctor returned an an
swer to the effect that ho would render
his assistance, provided D. would give
himself up to the proper authorities,
which, upon due consideration and the
necessities of the case, he agreed to do,
and was taken to Farmer Village, where
DIR. Wheeler, after on examination, dis
covered that Donnelly's leg had been
fractured in such q manner, and neglect
ed so long, as to render amputation ne
cessary, which operation was performed,
but the man had become so weakened
from exposure that he sank under the
treatment and died, thus terminating the
greatest excitement which the quiet
neighborhood of Covert has ever expe-
rienced.- Wathins IN. ~ Democrat
