An Industrious Female.

Ellen Casey, the woman whose leg
was amptutated at Mount Sinai Hospi-
tai, New York, on account of a bullet
wound received during the Orange riot,

A COMPROMISE,

A clergyman of the Church of Eng.

doctrine of general resurrection, fu-

sinner in hell, where he will suffer the
due reward of his deeds before he pass.

which is the doom of the wicked, in

The Famine in Persia.

The New York Herald closes long
article in reference to Persia and the
terrible calamities that have come upon
that unfortunate people as follows:
In Persia already we hear that cholera
is raging with terrible fury, and that
Russia has erected a quarantine barrier
upon her frontier. Whispers, too, have
been heard Of the plague, but these are
as yet unconfirmed. 1t is still, however,
a grave question whether we are not
upon the eve of one of those terrible
ami mtrabi2eS which stand out in his
tory to warn us of the misery which
the human race are now and then, for
some mysterious cause, called upon to
bear. Earthquakes, famine, pestilence,-
unnatural seasous--nay, even the pcsti-
lence bug in Canada-seem to point at
a danger which may, if care be not ex-
ercised to prevent il, drag us, too, with
in its circle of fear and suffering. We
have long been spared any great ma
tional calamity at the hands of nature,
and it behooves us to watch we'll that
the pestilence already engendered by
this terrible famine passes not within
our gates. The cholera, we are. told, is
already breaking ont sporadicalIy in Po--
land and, ere the summer be sped, it
may have marched over the Intervening
lands, and be eagerly waiting to glide
upon its hideous work of death into
American homes. Let lis keep watch
and ward while care and vigilance may
still avail to preserve us from so terri
Bile n calamity. We are not alarmists
but the signs of the times are pregnant
with dreadful meaning, and it is but
a vain folly to attempt to escape the
evil by ignoring its existence.

The Bonaparte Scandal

The Ex.Empress Eugenie docs not
wish a divorce. The London Times
gave credence to report that in conse-
quence of the Margarito Bellanger
scandal Eugenie was determined to Oh
tain divorce. This report the Echo
authoritatively contradicts. Why should
Eugene seek divorce? She married
the Emperor and the Emperor has
ceased to exist. Eugenie is entitled to
be spoken ofas good wife. She clings
to her husband in spite of all his faults
and his failures.
