A FIa1IT IN THE GREEK HOUSE OF
REsENTATIvEs Athens, Jan II.
The Journal of Athens announces
to it's readers that the Greek deputies
have found a new way to settle
their differences. After each par
tv has exhausted all possible argu-
mcnts. and found that nothing
more is left to discuss, the dep
uties begin to roll up their sleeves
and a general boxing match begins.
Two deputies from Peloponessus,
small of stature and weak of consti-
tutidn, have protested against this
new style of loratory, and demand
ed the permission to resign, because.
they eaid, they could not represent
their constituents in a satisfactory
mapner. They have proposed to
send in their place two mountain
bows, of herculean stature and
strength, because in their opinion,
these men would, better than them
selves. figiiti in defence Of the inter
ests entrusted to their care.

AFFRAYATGALLATIN.

The Gallatin Examiner of yesterday
contains the following
. On Saturday evening last an ARRAY
occurred at Holloran's grocery, at the
depot, between Al Brown, Simons, q
butcher and Hubert, another butcher, in
which Brown was very dangerously
stabbed by Hubert As usual, woman is
at the bottom of the mischief Brown
and Hubert were rivals, in love with
Simon's daughter. The daughter liked
Brown the best, and the old
folks Hubert, and the course of
love never runs smooth The
lovers and Simon, somehow got together
at HallOran's grocery. The old man and
Brown had set-tO outdoors. Brown
backed up against All open window, and
the other lover, Hubert, cut him in the
back from the inside. This is the street
version, but the investigation, which is
set for Thursday, before Justice Moss,
will develop all the facts. Hubert fled,
and was arrested by Constable Geo.
Love, at Tunnel Station, just as he
was getting on the train moving
northward. He was brought back to
Gallatin and bound over to appear
Thursday, Messrs. r. A. Bennett and IT,
W. Allen being his bOndsmen. The
wounds Of Brown were attended by DR..
Il. TOmpkins and are very dangerous.
Brown is the same person who was trie d
at the recent term of the Circuit Court
for the killing of Belcher last Christmas
and was acquitted. What potent causes
of trouble are love and whisky

FONTAINEBLEAU.
Daily Life of NAPOLEON and Eure,

Daily Life of Napoleon and EugenIe.
Perhaps our readers may be curious
on the subject Of the imperial manner
of life when staying at Fontainebleau.
The Emperor rises very early, as indeed
is his habit everywhere. By s o'clock
he has got through certain amount Of
governmental business, and settled more
than one important affair. 1t is only
after occupying himself with these state
matters that he retires to inspect his
flowers; he is extremely fond of his
plants, and waters them himself.
The Empress is not so matutiaal;
she seldom rises until half~past Z
O'Clock. 1t is well known that at Fon-
tainebleau her Majesty occupies Marie
Antoinette's apartments, where she is
surrounded by many Of the belongings
of that unfortunate queen. Her bed,
which is gilded, at one time belonged
to Nine. Dubarry afterward the dau-
phine had it, and she retained it after
she became queen and ultimately it
was removed to Fontainebleau, where it
remains stationary. At II O'Clock the
Emperor and Empress breakfast when
their Majesties are at the Tuileries they
are usually tete G-tete, but at Fontaine~
bleau all the principal officers and
ladies of the household join the imperial
breakfast table. When the repast is
concluded, the Emperor takes turn or
two in the garden, and then rctires to his
study for hard work. The council OF
ministers, who assemble in Paris at one
O'Clock, do not meet at Fontainebleau
until five O'Clock. At seven O'Clock
dinner is announced; the household
assemble at it, and generally some guests
are invited from Paris. Dinner over, the
company meet again in the Empress
apartments after stroll in the park
The Emperor retires early-between 81
and l0-but the Empress rarely bids
coed night before eleven.

AN EARTHQUAKES PREDICTED.

A very general excitement has been
caused in Peru by the publication of the
prophecy Of German astronomer as
sorting that on the 10th, llth, and 18th
of August of this year, preliminary
shocks of earthquake will be felt in Peru
and Ecuador, to be followed on the Goth
of Semptember or October by moves
ment of the earth in that region, and
along the line of the Andes mountains
generally, that will be perfectly appalling
in its effects. This prediction has,
1t appears, created wide spread terror
among the Peruvians, and many families
are now preparing to seek places of
greater security. The astronomer can
not ascertain to a certainty whether the
grand rupture will occur in September
or October, but that it will be on or about
the 2Oth he is confident He affirms that
he has predicted earthquakes before with
perfect accuracy.

perance Alliance, the recent vote request
ing A. NJ. B. SpOoner to resign the Presi-

rescinded. A resolution was adopted,
approving OF call by the prohibitOry
committee for State temperance convens
ton, and Mr.. Spoonar, Rev. DR.. Marvin
and Rev. Mr.. Thayer were designated a
cooperative committee. Rev. Mr. Dinger
of the German Methodist Episcopal
Church at Boston, who was present, made
an address, in which he said he was
opposed TO the sale of lager beer, being
satisfied it was intoxicating and injurious
TO the German population. He thought
that if meeting were called Of Germans
who favor the present law, much good
would result.
Prof Webster, Of ILL.,, said the temper
ance people were watching the cause in
Massachusetts with great interest. The
Temperance men Of Illinois had formed
an independent organization, and would
stand their ground, and that all over the
West they were massing, and it would

DIVIDED SISTERHOOD.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is out
fat footed in favor of women wearing
mems dress. She says
1.-THE true idea is for the sexes to
dress as nearly alike as possible. We
have seen several ladies dressed precisely
like gentlemen, who appeared far more
elegant and graceful than any real man
we ever saw. A young lady in Fifth
avenue dressed in male costume for
years, travelling all over Europe and this
country. She says it would have been
impossible to have seen and known as
much of life in woman's attire, and to
have felt the independence and security
she did, had her sex been proclaimed
before all Israel and the sun. There are
many good reasons for adopting male
costume: First, it is the most convenient
dress that can be invented; second, in it
woman could secure equal wages with
man for the same work; third, conceal
ment of sex would protect our young
girls from those terrible outrages from
brutal men reported in al! our daily
papers"
Miss Olive Logan, per contra, objects
in toto to the proposed reform, and
declares there are physiological reasons
why women must always wear the
skirt.

CUBA.
Astonishing CrueItIes Of the Spanish
SOIdlery.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Au interesting
letter relative TO the Cuban situation has
come to light. A Spanish gentleman went
out TO Cuba several months ago to
claim an inheritance that had been left
him. lie said that at Neuvitas he learned
that nine Creoles were going to be presently
shot. They passed near him with firm
step, with heads erect and with look of
brave determination. Arriving at the fatal
spot, they seated themselves upon bench
already prepared for them and at the sound
of the voice OF the officer who gave the
word to fire cried out, Hurrah for Cuba!
hurrah for Cespedes After they had
fallen, the volunteers stuck bayonets into
their bodies. At Gibra he saw body of
armed men marching towards a house of
modest appearance. Wishing to see what
was about to be done, he followed the SOL
diers who arrived before the door, halted
a while, and three of the party entered:
The lat er cried out at this moment, Here's
the insurrec:o, here is the mambi. What
do you wish, said young man. If is
for whom you search, am at your service,
but do not brighten my father and mother.
Without ceremony the volunteers seized
the speaker and beating him along the
road with the butts of their muskets until
they got close to the cemetery they ran
him through with al least twenty bayonets.
From Santiago de Cuba comes news OF
a thousand atrocities committed by the in
famous Francisco Pares, TO whom the Gov
ernor in that part of the island had en-
trusted the direction of matters in Greana-
banjo and Baracca This bad man want
ing in every sentiment of humanity and
of every moral principle had been robbing
and assassinating every Cuban who was
believed to be liberal. Whole families
in the vicinity of Greansbamo had been
murdered by his baudi g. Young and old
persons had been butchered by his knife,
and his companions not being satisfied with
the villaiuits committed here, passed on to
Bsracca where aided by few other assas-
sins, they went from house TO house. Hun
dreds of persons were in this way murr
dered and with the full consent andknowl-
edge of the authorities.

HORRIBLE DEATH FROM HYDRO.
PHOBIA.
The Wilmington Commercial contains
the following horrible story:

The Wilmington Commercial contains
the following horrible story:
"a child aged about eleven years, a
daughter of Mr.. Davis, who resides on
State Hill, in Chester county, about one
mile and half from the Spread Eagle
Hotel, died from hydrophobis, on Monday
morning, July 10, after the most horrible
suffering. She was bitten on the finger
by her uncle's dog about nine weeks
ago, the dog disappearing thereafter, so it
was not known whether he was mad
or not. 1t was known, however, that he
was one Of the fox>hounds attacked by a
mad dog near the Chester county line
about three months since, and most of
which were bitten. The child showed
no symptoms Of hydrophObia until Satur-
day afternoon, when she had spasm, re-
fuSing to drink or look at water. At
first the spasms were divided by inter-
walls Of half an hour, gradually becoming
more frequent and severe until Monday
morning at two O'Clock, when her suffer
ings were ended by death. During the
spaSms she would frothe terribly at the
mouth, snap and bite, and upon hearing
of water would enter upon worse form
of convulsion. When the tit was off she
would beg that her family connections be
kept from her lest she might bite them
Ga Monday morning all the dogs known
to have been connected with the fox hunt
mentioned were killed. 1t was before
doubted whether the dog which attacked
them was really mad "
