Her Own Avenger.

This is the remarkable story of Celestine
Fejervary, a wealthy young lady of Daven-
port, Iowa:
Recently a story was circulated affecting
her chastity. She waited until some respon-
sible person could be proved to have helped
to circulate it. This proved to be no less a
man than Mayor Renwick. He had thought
lessly told the story as it came TO him, and
told it as deploring it if it were true. Miss
Fejervary promptly sued him. She WAS
cleared of the SANDER during the progress
OF the trial, but because it was found that
Mayor Renwick had no thought of vile in
tent in what he said, the verdict was in his
favor. Miss Fejervary has published a card
IN the Gazette, in which she says: "First of
all, the failure of the jury 10 agree does not
and can not terminate the suit, and, should
the best years of my life be spent in the en-.
deavor, Will not rest until a verdict has
been given for or against me, and, either
at this court or higher one, an example
set not only to my, but all slanderers: for
In bringing this suit l have not been un-
mindful Of the many innocent girls whom I
nave seen injured as shamefuIly as have
been, and much less able to defend them
selves. AS for the choice of this example.
IL fell on the first man against whom we had
good proofs OF his having repeated the Sian.
DER In Its most aggravated form Ia fact
winch ne now denies), and one who. as be-
ing an Old and respec ed citizen, should
have been the last to have given his connte-
nance TO SO foul a wrong.n

EGYPTIAN WATERPROOF Corrosive call
the attention of the public, especially the
owners of real estate, to the charter OF the
Egyptian Waterproof Coating Company,
| which will be found in another column of
to.day's REPUBLICAN. The Office OF the Com
pany is at No. 80 Chartres street.
The Egyptian waterproof coating, which
was patented by the United States Patent
Office on the fourth of HAY, 1869, is new
invention, being composed of materials
which together possess remarkable antisep-
tic qualities, insoluble in water and unafect-
ed by dampness. Experiments made on
csterns, flooring of warehouses, fences,
stills and joists, telegraph posts, crossties,
bridges, etc., plainly show that dry lumber,
which is intended to be used in the water or
in contact with dampness, will not rot
when coated with the Egyptian. Applic-
able for the use of the marine, vessels,
piles, ETC., and particularly in the Gulf
of Mexico, where barnacles destroy any
kind Of wood, satisfactory experiments
show that this danger is no more to
be feared. Used on collins as a sanitary
measure, like in Europe, the Egyptian coat
ing has given here fall satisfaction in the
experiments made By the most learned and
competent physicians. Even in this warm
and damp climate the causes OF infection
from death have 10 more reason to be ap-
pretended. In using the Egyptian coating
for wood pavements, no material in the
world can enter into serious competition
with it.
The company above mentioned, com.
posed of stockholders of the most honora-
BILE character, and among the most enter
prising gentlemen Of this city, have the
project to organize special corporations for
the manufacture of the several articles
connected with the discovery of this new
produce. One of them is already nearly
organized and ready to enter into opera
ton. We are authorized to say that its
object is to create here q general under
taking business, similar to those estab-
lshed in most of the large cities of
Europe. This is indeed very much needed
here, and the public health and comfort
will be unquestionably promoted thereby:
aru what is the most important for all will
be the absence OF infection, either before or
after death and in the neighborhood of our
numerous cemeteries, most all situated in the
middle of our city.

Natchitoches is waking up to the neces-
sity of railroads. The Ne,os reports meet
ing there few days ago:
The object of this meeting was to take
into consideration measures to aid in the
construction of the Red River Valley Rail.
road, as branch of the New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and Vicksburg road. Two PROPOSE
lions were to be submitted to the people of
this parish ia furtherance of this object.
One to give bonus of $lC1 900 to the road,
without expectation Of any return, save the
natural advantages to arise from the road in
the increased value of property, ETC.; the
other to subscribe to the stock of the CON-
pany 10 the amount of $500 coo. The Police
Jury are to issue interest bearing bonds of
the parish for said amounts, payable at q
certain time, and submit the question to the
people for ratification or rejection.
A committee was finally appointed to
ascertain the views of the directors of the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksbnrg
Railroad, in reference TO this branch, and
particularly what proposition would be &C.
ceptabe in view of the road passing through
NatchitOches.
Another company proposes to build the
road free OF any expense whatever to the
people if the right of way is given them,
allowing those citizens who may feel SO dis
posed, to subscribe to the capital stock of
the company.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.]
The Chinese Six Companies, of this city,
is combination which possesses considera'
BILE authority here and in China. Shortly
after The arrival of the last steamer from
that country, the leading men of the asscla.
ton here, seeing about thirteen hundred OF
their countrymen landing, called meeting,
at which a circular was prepared, settlDS
forth the reasons why Cinnamon and CHINA
women should cease emigratiDg to this
country. Copies of this circular will be
posted in all the principal towns and cities
of the empire, for the information OF all
classes.
1t is q long document, but the substance
of it is that California and the adjoining
States are not what they formerly were, so
far rs the facilities for making money are
concerned; that very few Cinnamon can OBJ
tain more than bare subsistence, and that
only the merchants are able to accumulate
riches. The opinion prevails generally In
China that the placer mines OF this State
afford good field for the labors of the i'm
migrant. The circular states that these
mines do not pay any longer, as general
thing, and that If Chinese miners chance to
make money in them there is great danger
that they will be robbed of their earnings
and driven out of their mines by thieves and
robbers. They say their people are not
respected, but are put down to the level OF
cattle and horses; they are in constant
danger of violence, and suffer i'll usage in
every part of the State.
They say of the threats of riot and blood
shed, that they consider most OF them as
idle talk. but would not do anything to
provoke an attempt to execute them: The
condition Of the people is described; that
thousands OF them are without work, can
get none. and are destitute Of the necessaries
of life; that the merchants have extended
relief to some, but that all can
not be aided. For these and other reasons
they deprecate the policy of sending any
more Cinnamon here. OF the female imml-
grants, they say the women who have come
here have brought infinite disgrace, not only
on themselves, but on the most respectable
Chinese here. They also are advised to
stay at home. The chief men of the SIX
think the issuance of the circular
will tend to retard very much the iurther
Influx of their countryGien in America; and
it certainly does not afford very attractive
picture of their present condition and pros

We learn this from St. Paul dispatch:

A Pembina letter says that at recent
meeting of returned buffalo hunters at
White Horse Plains, it was agreed to re.
linquish their usual summer journey in the
plains, and to enroll under the banner of
Refill in defense of their country from Cana
dian invaders, if the provisional government
should decide on resistance, and that fur
ther, they had declared their determination
to oppose the advance of the Canadian ex-
petition beyond the Lake of the Woods.
The correspondent thinks there is no doubt
that they will put this resolution in execu'
ton. and that if the Dominion persists in
sending an invading force into that country,
the Red river people will reject the Main
taba bill, and strike for independence. They
would be satisfied with the provisions of the
bill in the main, but they will not accept
the interference of the sword nor will they
sure nder Refill and the provisional govern
ment, to whom they are indebted for their
release from the despotic sway of a military
