Account Of the Assassination Of General
Prim.

A correspondent at Madrid writes
on the 29th of December, in regard
to the assassination of Gen. Prim.
His Adjutant witnessed the scene
of the assassination, having occupied
front seat in the carriage. His own
version of the affair is as follows:
"Prim and two aides usually left
the Cortes ut the conclusion of the
debate in the afternoon at half-past
seven. He entered his carriage and
drove rapidly the shortest way from
the Cortes TO the war office. The
streets were deserted at the point
where the Gale Del Turin debouches
into the Alicia, the broadest street in
the City, through a narrow passage.
Two hired cabs were drawn up and
obstructed the way. This is so com
mon an event, however, that it scarce
ly attracted any notice, but Mayo,
my informant, dropped his glass in
the door nearest to him, and looked
out Just in time to see two men who
were carrying arms under their long
Andalusian cloaks, from the shadow
Of the cabs. He had barely time to
cry out, "Stoop, General, they are
going to fire = when the muzzles OF
their blunderbusses were dashed
into the carriage, through the win
dow, on either hand, shivering the
glass to atoms, and the contents
discharged point blank at the occu
pants i'll the back seat, who mus
have been undistinguishable in tn,
darkness. The next moment tn,
assassins darted back under cover OF
the cabs, and so around into Alicia
where they mounted too horses tina
were tied to trees, and in an instan
were safe from pursuit. The coach
man dashed the horses forwar,
against the cabs, upsetting one o
them, and drove in hot haste to tn
war Office, where the wounded ma
alighted. Prim simply remarked
/ am wounded, but not much"

FUNERAL HYMN.

Come forth! come on. with solemn song;
The road Is short, the rest Is long;
The Lord brought here, He calls away!
Make no delay
This home was for a passing day.
Here I'm an inn "A stranger dwelt;
Here JOY and grief by turns he felt;
Poor dwelling, now We close thy door!
The task u Ger
The sojourner returns no more.
Now of n lasting home possessed,
He goes TO seek n deeper rest;
Good night! the day was sultry here,
In toll and fear.
Good night! the night Is cool and clear.
Chime on. ye bells! again begin
And ring the Sabbath morning in:
The laborer's weekday work j. done,
The rest begun
Which Christ has for his people won.

CONTENTS OF A GREAT CITY.

The population of London is near
ly double that of Paris, four times
that of New York, five times that of
Berlin, six times that of st. Peters
burg. twelve time that of Amster-
dam and eighteen times that of
Rome. The inhabitants of Paris,
Berlin, Vienna and st. Petersburg
added together, fall short of the
population of London, which ex-
ceeds all Scotland, is more than
equal to two-thirds of the population
of all Ireland, and constitutes nearly
one-eighth of the population of
Great Britain. The increase alone
in the inhabitants of London during
the last thirty years exceeds the en-
tire population of the kingdom OF
Greece, brigands included.
Indeed, one of the most surprising
things about modern London is the
rapidity of its growth. Notwith-
standing its already enormous SIZE
in 1S49 not fewer than 225, ,355 new
houses have been added to it since
then, forming sixty-nine new squares
and 1881 new streets, of the total
length of LOGO miles Nor has
the growth of London apparently
been checked, Notwithstanding ad-
verse times; for 3, 167 houses were
in course of erection in the month of
February last. In short, as the
French observer said of London, ''it
is not so much city as province
covered with houses"
The miserable and desperate class
es of London are almost equal in
number to the population of some
kingdoms; they would fill great
city by themselves. They include q
multitude of beggars, tramps, match
sellers, crossing sweepers, ragpick
ers, organ grinders, prostitutes, and
others, hanging on the outskirts OF
society, ready at any moment TO be
come criminal. In the second weel
of June last there were IL ,402 in
door paupers and $3.50 out-doo,
paupers III the metropolitan district
maintained at the public expense
and outside this actual pauper clas
there is always a vast number of poo
men and woman, struggling for sub
sistence amid wretchedness, dirt
drunkenness and crime. Londoi

THE HEATHEN CHINEE.

The Missouri Republican, the
leading Democratic paper of the
West has been examining theChinese
statistics rs disclosed by the United
States census in California, and
concludes:
when we come to reduce the
vexed question of Chinese immigra-
tion down to sober facts and figures,
we find that it is a matter of COM
paratively small consequences; and
that unless n Sudden and unexpected
change occurs, it is never likely to
assume troublesome dimensions.
The Republican, views materially
differ from those entertained by poll
ticians of the Democratic school on
the Pacific Coast. The majority of
the Republicans are inclined some
what to coincide in the Republican s
idea of the evils of Chinese immigra-
ton. The Democrats, and minority
of the Republicans, are satisfied that
the present evil is only shadow OF
what is to come if the influx is to be
continued without let or hindrance
The people of California, aside from
their political proclivities, do not
desire the presence of the Chimes,
population in their midst. The Re
publican can theorize on figures, bu
the realities are in our midst anl
they have already assumed trouble
some dimensions. The Democrats
party East unite with the Californi
branch, and urge upon Congressmel
the necessity of legislation that vii
prevent the undesirable immigra
, ton is. F. Chronicle.

Ny childhood, with its hours of mirth,
And joys THAI seem too bright for earth.
How oft IN pleasant dreams | roam,
Back to my childhood's early home;
Where brothers, sisters we did meet
And baSk in joys, 50 pure and sweet
Where mothers kind approving kiss,
Crowned all our plays with happiness
Where love, and truth. and purity,
Kept our young hearts from sorrow free.

Remcm brance still to thee doth cling;
Each day fjoy. each happy hour,
Comes back to me with thrilling power:
Each scene of bliss that then were mine,

And life with all its changes here.

And there in beauty's magic spell,
Throughout eternal ages dwell;
Oh, happy thought, oh, blissful theme!

about o'clock, a body of disguised
men, estimated at from fifty to one
hundred, rode up to the hotel in
Stanton, and went into the sleeping
apartment of Judge j. NJ. Elliott and
Robert Riddell, the commonwealth
attorney, and with drawn pistols de-
manded Combs, the jailer. Combs
being present, they Immediately
summoned him, and with drawn
and cooked pistols presented to his
head, commanded him to go with
them to the Jail.
Combs at first refused. but finding
that his life would be the penalty,
and being seized by three or four of
the mob, was dragged to the Jail and
forced to unlock the door. Bryant
was confined in the dungeon in the
lower part of the Jail, and he was
only given time to put on his pants.
When brought up he was crying out,

was then taken out of Jail, and on
reaching the ground his hands were
tied behind his back. and he was
