Terrible EARTHQUAKE.

Late East Indian papers give accounts
of the late violent earthquake which
shook various parts of Bengal between
January 10th and llth. 1t was most
severely felt in Cschar and Assam. The
earthquake was felt as far west of Cal
cutta as Dinapore. Cachar, where it
was most severe, is on the line of vol
cano action which, stretching from the
Eastern Hinalayss, runs down the coast
of Burmah, where there are several ex-
tinct volcanoes, to the eastern Archi-
pelago, where volcano phenomena on
large scale are of frequent occurrence.
At the latter place the earth seemed agi-
ts ted by q great wave, rising in a well
twenty feet high, tossing trees and build
ings about, and making the hills reel
as the convulsion passed. The river
changed its course and ran upward for
an hour, tossing the water fifty feet into
the air and forming numerous water
spouts. The earth opened in hundreds
of places, vomiting up volumes of blue
sand and water and engul6ng houses,
cattle and men, in some cases closing
over what it had swallowed, aud in others
remaining in yewnipg sbysses, showing
the roofs of houses twenty feet below the
surface. The convulsion was felt over
all of Lower Bengal at the same time,
and continued with slight shocks for sew.

Public Meeting in Greeneville to Welcome
President Johnson to His Home.

From the Union and American. 18th
The citizens of Greene county, Ten
nessee, met on Wednesday, Mtrch 3,
1869, at the Courthouse in Gree nville,
and we're called to order by J. c. Beeks,
who briefly stated the objects of the
meeting to be to take steps to properly
and publicly manifest the esteem in
which we hold our distinguished fellow
citizen, President Andrew johnson, who
is soon to return to his home in Greene
vile. James Britton, Esq, was called
to the chair. and committee, consisting
of Messrs. Il. a Ingersoll, Edwin Henry,
]. c. Beeks, David Fry and Samuel
Lane, was appointed to report resolu-
tons expressive of the objects and senti-
ments of the meeting An adjournment
to the 4th then took place, at which time
the committee reported the following
resolutions, which were adopted by
unanimous vote:
Whereas, President Andrew Johnsons
term of Office expires to-day, and we,
few of his fellow-citizens, assemble d with
out regard to party, have learned with
pride and pleasure that he is soon to re-
turn to his old home, which he was com
PEELED to fee for safety in 1861, and from
which he has ever since been detaiysd
by the discharge of onerous official duti es;
and whereas, we deem it due to him and
ourselves that some public manifesto
tons of cordial welcome should be ex-
tended to him in token of our apprecia-
ton of the distinguished public services
rendered by him to the State and to the
Union in the various official position she
has occupied; therefore,
- - Resolred, That we are happy to learn
of his intention to make his home here
among the friends of his youth and the
scenes of his early conflicts and victories.
Resolped, That in President Andrew
Johnson we recognize signal example
of the triumph of perseverance and de-
termination over all obstacles, and that
his history affords striking illustration
of the benign and encouraging influence
of our free institutions upon the indi-
vidual citizen, however humble his birth
and station in life. a
Resolred, That the people of this and
adjoining counties, are cordially invited
to be in Greenville upon the day of his
return, and, disregsrding party ties and
considerations, join with us in extend
ing to him hearty welcome back to the
mountains of East Tennessee.
Resolped, That committee be APP
pointed to inform President johnson of
the proceedings of this meeting, ascer-
tain and publish, as soon as convenient,
the day of his arrival here, and make
preparations to receive him in becom-
ing manner.
Oa motisn, it was unanimously re-
solved that james Britton be made Chair
man of the Committee Ito inform
President johnson of the proceedings of
this meeting" etc. The chairman then
appointed Edwin Henry, A. w. Walker,
d. H. Ingersoll and Jehn P. Haehsinger
on said committee.

A sensation Romance of Real Life.

DR.. Levinger, a celebrated lawyer of
the higher court at Vienna, in Austria,
was a rev weeks ago intrusted with an
uucommonly interesting case. An old
nobleman, of immense wealth and q
high position at the Imperial Court. fell
in love with beautiful young woman OF
low extraction, and persuaded her TO live
with him as his mistress. Ee seques-
tered his jewel in one of his castles in
the country, in order to suffer less from
the pangs of jealousy, and at the same
time conceal from the world the inter-
esting circumstances in which the
thougbtless creature found herself In
May, lS4l, the old Baron advised his
love BY letter that, in view of an ap-
approaching event, be had made eodi-
eli 10 his will, wherein be had provided
for his offspring with princely munifi-
cence.
But before the letter reached its des-
tination the Baron was struck by sudden
death from apoplexy, aud the party to
whom it was addressed had given birth to
q healthy boy. The Probate Court opened
the testament, wherein the two legitimate
daughters of the Baron were named as
bis heirs, but there was no vestige OF the
codicil. Out of respect for the former
high position Of the Baron in society, and
to avoid scandal, the two heiresses sup
ported his mistress and her child during
the first few years, and even provided her
with the means for the boys education.
But after awhile they lost sight OF them,
and finally abandoned them entirely.
Years passed by, aud the illegitimatt

self and her descendants the title of
Countess of Beauharnais. The decree
comforting this title sets forth that by the
organic law of the Empire the Dukes
title cannot pass to his children, nor can
the title of Duchess be borne by his wife.
It adds, however, that the marriage took
place with the full consent of the Gear.
This, it is asserted, is the first instance
of the formal sanction of inorganic mar
riage in Russia, and it is conjectured that
the Imperial recognition will be given to
similar marriages that have heretofore
taken place. Thus, the Grand Duchess
Mary, who is the eldest daughter of the
Gear Nicholas aud mother OF the Duke of
Leuchtenberg, after the death of her first
husband married morganatically Count
Gregory Strogonof. This latter mar
riage, it is asserted. will now be recog-
nized. Philadelphia Public Ledger.

student of medicine at the University of
Berlin, and received his diploma as Doc
tor of Medicine in 1866.
His mother had carefully concealed
from her son his illegitimate origin, and
allowed him to believe that his father had
belonged to her own class, and that he
had died many years ago. At that period
one of the daughters Of the old Baron,
who had married chamberlain of the
Court, sought to engage tutor for her
son, youth of sixteen years, and by one
of those marvellous condolences, which
happen oftener in romance than in real
life, her attention was thrown to the
young physician, who at that time was
visiting the hospitals OF Vienna. Her
son being of frail constitution, she was
very glad to intrust his education to a
young man who, by his peculiar studies,
was enabled to carefully watch over bis
physical condition and, without the
least idea that she had engaged so near a
relation. The young doctor was intro
duced into the family. He soon gained
the confidence of his employers, and they
intrusted him with many delicate trans
actions.
Among others they required him to
examine their family archives and select
the valuable papers from those which
might be destroyed as useless. Pending
this work he found a diary of the old
Baron, which contained the whole his
tory of the doctors birth and the indica-
ton of the place where the father had
deposited the codicil. The young man
at once communicated the circumstance
to his mother, took possession of the
codicil, which gave him a million Of
guilders, and, as the legitimate heirs of
his father refused to comply with its
stipulations, he commenced suit against
them, after having in vain attempted to
come to friendly terms. About the mid
die of May the case will be pleaded be-
fore the Imperial Court of Vienna. and,
the amount bequeathed to the illegitimate
child being not in excess of what such
children are permitted to receive from q
father in case there are legitimate chill
dren also, it is scarcely doubtful that the
young physician will soon become man
of great wealth.

A few days since q man named John

the Rev. Flowers, of this city. he occu-
pied the pulpit, Of course, and in due

at the imposition, and the imposter was
arrested on the charge Of disturbing
religious meeting. He was arraigned
before Squire Parker yesterday, plead
guilty, and was fined S25 and costs.
We understand that two other infor-
nations of the same character hang over
this man Robinson. From all accounts
he is an incorrigible sinner. he resides

has long been tried on him, but to no
avail, and it is now proposed to try the
