A VicerOy's Assassination.

The North China Herald gives the fol-
lowing account of the assassination of the
Viceroy of Pekin, Ma:
1t appears that relation of Ma. either
by blood or adoption, was in poor circum-
stances at Shantung, and, according to
common usage, resolved to take advantage
OF his klnshlp with person of the wealth
which Ma was known or supposed to pos
sess. Accordingly, he repaired to Marking,
and claimed large pecuniary aid or
remunerative Office. The latter alter
native was, we are told, declined: but
the Vleeroy gave g considerable sum,
which, however. did not. by any means,
satisfy the applicant He pressed for
more money, wrote, obtained audiences,
and, in word, prosecuted Ma beyond en-
durance. At last at personal interview
he was peremptorily told that if he was not
satisfied he had better leave the CITY, for,
no more would be given him. Stune to
fury by this intimation, he drew dagger
and finging himself on the Viceroy, in
ficted a wound in the groin, which
is said to have transfxed his
bowels and penetrated the skin in front.
The assassin was immediately seized
and secured, but as soon as the affair was
known outside rumOr was started first
that certain Frenchmen had obtained &C.
cess to the Viceroy and bad killed him,
and then that some of the French disci-
pinned soldiers acting under foreign orders
had done the deed. The yamen was at
once surrounded and carefully searched,
but nothing to justify their suspicion was
discovered But as every attempt was
made to keep Mas dangerous state con-
cealed, rumor soon became busy, and the
most absurd stories were soon in circula.

Rural Existence in Merry England.

We have complaints from the agricu!tu.

wages. We have constant pictures of

p'oyed, first in frightening crows, and are
then promoted to working in ditch, or to
breaking stones by the roadside They
have seldom enough to eat, while they are
content to lodge higgledy- piggledy in
noisome fever dens. Their opportunities
of acquiring elementary education are linn
tied by the practice of turning them to &C.
count as soon as they can crawl as well as
by other exigencies Of their parents and
customs of their country. They marry
recklessly and are surrounded with broods
of stolid children. who seem to inherit the
sulien lethargy of the binds who beget
them. This is picture of rural existence
IN Merrie England, not unfamiliar to OBJ

gressive ideas. nt

HooFLAND's GERMAN BITTERs.-We clip
the following from the editorial columns Of
the Leader, Cleveland, Ohio, one of the most
influential papers of the West: Gin calling
the attention of our readers to this valuable
preparation, we do SO with full conviction
that 1t Is d highly scientific remedy Dys-
pepsla, and all diseases arising from a dis
ordered state of the Liver or Stomach In
making this assertion, we are sustained by
the testimony OF many Of the eminent pro-
fessional men Of the country. Lawyers,
physicians and clergymen all bear witness to
its great usefulness. It contains no alcohol
lc stlmulant, but is purely medicinal being
compounded from the prescription of one Of
the most celebrated physicians of his day,
and is well known and used BY the faculty OF
the present time. 1t has been before the
public In it's present shape for over twenty
years, and during that time has become
known all over the world. To those in need
OF remedy of this character, we would say,
procure it at once, and do not waste your
time and money on the many worthless com
POUNDS that now flood the market; and those
who are not in Immediate want Of it, we
would advise to be prepared to battle with
disease by keeping it always in the house."
Hoohand's German Tonic combines all the
ingredients of the Bitters, with pure Santa
Cruz Rum, orange, anise, ETC. 1t is used for
the same diseases as the Bitters, in cases
where some alcoholic stimulant is REQUIRE q,
1t is preparation of rare value and ia most
agreeable to the palate.

HE LoUvRE.-The fears now SO preva-
lent that the bombardment of Paris will
destroy the art treasures in that city, it is
stated, will be dispelled when it is known
that the palace of the louvre is situated
about three miles from the enciente or en-
clrcilng wall. 1t is further mentioned thrt
the detached forts are from l, 600 to 5000
yards beyond The walls, and that the Ger
man army lies from one to three miles be-
You'd the forts. It is believed that the
works OF art win not suffer except in case
street fighting should commence, when in
jury might be done by rockets or hand
grenades. It is mentioned as curious
circumstance in the history of art, that
pictures have suffered little by sieges in
modern times. The accidental fire in
which TitIan's peter the Martyr" per-
lshed, has, it is alleged, done more Injury
to the art of painting than all the wars OF
