The Attempt to AssassiDato sensr ZorriIIa.
Madrid (Feb. 19) correspondence London Times
''We are completely satisfied with our work,
and iBtenC to continue in the same road"
Such was the literal text of an anonymous letter
received by the unhappy widow of Marshal
Prim on the day his remains we're carried TO
the Atocha Church. 1t was no heartless hoax.
1t was a message of warning to the other public
men who had taken prominent part in the
elevation of King Amadeo to the throne. Some
of these men treated it as a joke, but Others
did not. Among the latter were the ex-Presi-
dent Ruis Iorria He took the warning espe-
cjally to himself, as he had borne very conspi-
cuous share in the k'ng-makiDg.
Yesterday morning he received verbal mes
sage that if he would grant an interview, the
parties desiring 1t would communicate to him
important revelations respecting the authors of
the assassination Of his friend Marshal Prim,
whom the tribunals of justice have not been
able to discover, though they are constantly
arresting persons ION suspicion" Being
excessively anxious to do what in him lay
to clear up this fearful mystery, Zorrlla said he
should be willing to see the parties in question
In his own house, Gale San Mateo, in the even
ing. He was told that would not do. They
would not come to his house. but would meet
him at any other he might appoint. He fixed
10 at night, in the house of friend
living in Gale PEI. Punctual to his appoint
ment, he went, and stayed till nearly 2
o'clock this morning. 1t is needless to say
no one came. He was accompanied by his par
ticular friend Don Luis Hernandez. Senior
Zorrlla remarked to his friend, so preSentiG;
eStdnos uenidos," Il thought as much, we are
sold (duped)." few yards further on and
they came TO the Gale San Rogue, a narrow
street which opens on the Gale Pez. From a
dark corner in this street two men emerged,
crossed the sidewalk, and fired at them. The
balls, of which there must have been at least z,
to Judge by the marks they made in the wall of
q curriers' shop, passed close behind them,
but fortunately without touching them. With
great presence of mind Senior Hernandez pulled
out his revolver, and, firing 1t twice, ran after
the assassins, who fled along the Gale San
ROGUE, leaving their trabuco (blunderbuss) on
the ground Senior Zorrila and some police
men, who this time were quickly on the scene,
watched all the avenues by which persons could
leave the houses until daybreak when q large
force of police searched the houses. They have
arrested four men and one woman but whether
these are the guilty parties or not l am unable
at present to say, Great excitement prevails in
the city.

WHAT GRANT Has DoNE.-Grant
has been great failure as Presi-
dent.
He has steadily lowered the Re-
publican vote in every State.
lie has turned Missouri from a
Republican to n Democratic State.
The same of Indiana. The same
of Virginia. The same of West
Virginia. The same of Nevada. The
same of North Carolina, Alabama
and Tennessee, also Illinois, Wis
consin, and Pennsylvania are trem-
bling in the balance.
He has made New York and Con-
necticut more Democratic than ever.
He has used all his patronage and
all his bayonets TO stay the tide, but
his efforts have only made it stronger.
So evident has become the reaction
that the more far-seeing and shrew-
der men i'll his party want to avert
the danger by a new party of reform.
He is in open quarrel with leading
men Of his own party IN both Houses
of Congress.
Grant is doing well.

A certain gentleman laid wager
with a fashionable young lady the

Cosmopolitan Hotel, that she could
not skate around the rink at the Pa

lady succeeded she was to receive the
best pair of shoes she could procure
at fashionable store on Montgom-
cry street, and if she failed he was
to receive pair of gloves. &c
En- and Miss l. We're ap-
pointed judges. The lady from the
Cosmopolitan Hotel succeeded in
winning the bet and straightway or
dercd the shoes and had the bill sent
to Mr.. L. from Sacramento-the
gentleman who made the bet. The
bill was $50. The shoes cost SO
and a twenty dollar piece was rivited
to each of the heels. The bill was
paid, but the lady in question has
the pleasure of knowing that all her
friends have heard of the affair and
make some very hard comments upon
unlady-like eonduct.-[S. T. Call.
