Attempted Murder of a Rothschild.

The following is from the London
Times of the %; FRANKIE fort advices
state that great excitement flas been oc-
casioned by an attempt on the life of
Baron M. Rothschild the day before
yesterday by French soldier, who en-
tered the Office and asked to see the
Baron. When asked his business he
demanded four millions Of francs to be
paid down to him, aid threatened that
IN case of refusal he would blow up the
house by means of bag he held in his
hand. The clerks considered him a
maniac, and tried to turn him out
He then put match to the bag, and
the explosion slightly wounded two
brokers, who were waiting for the
Baron. Further accounts on Change
about the attempt at Rothschild's Office
state that by the force of the explosion
the windows, framework, and staircase
are smashed. The perpetrator, a
French officer (Alaatian), stated that he
was one of gang who had coalecced
tor plundering the bankers and that he
had been selected by lot to 60 to Roth
schild's. There are none of the clerks
wounded

Theirs House.

If it be true that the Commune of Par
has been stupid enough to destroy the
residence of M. Theirs in the Place ST.
Georges. one of the most interesting
eft the thousand and one interesting
private collections of works OF art and
taste which made Paris really the great
centre of civilization has been dispers-
ed and brought to nought. M. Theirs
was q virtuoso of the first class. His
saloons were not only enlivened with
the best living, wit, and culture of the
current century; they were a museum
of the taste and skill of many genera
lions IN many lands. M. Theirs was
not a specialist ia his collections, like
NJ. Barbet de Jouy, who gave his whole
time and his purse to the acquisition
OF Persian porcelain and glass he de-
lighted IN all manner of rare and lovely
things. His bronzes of medieval Italy
ranked with those of the Rothschild
and Dejean collections; his Greek
marbles and vases were as rare and re-
markable as those of NJ. Hiss de La
sale, Gatteaux, or Cppermann. He
possessed some of the most exquisite
medieval ivory-work and anielioc ex-
tant IN Europe, and really extraord-
mary number of fine Chinese and Jap
anese enamels, hackers, and sculptures
IN metal. One of his japanese cab
inets in particular was celebrated
throughout Europe for it's microscopic
beauty and perfection 1t is possible
that nj. Theirs may have taken meas
ures before he left Paris to put these
precious objects, with his noble library
and his manuscripts, beyond the reach
OF harm. But it is by no means GER
tain that he did SO and their destruct-
ION, II it has occurred, will be more
serious loss to art than the annih1latlon
o. the hugh incongruous colmn of the
modern Cesar in the Place Vandome.

How They Arrange Domestic Matters
out West,

Domestic matters in some of the
Western States are managed in a very
practical, ott-hand way, which is likely
to lead to social complications very
difficult to straighten out properly.
For instance, in Missouri, some years
ago, George Bruner went off to Idaho
to hunt for gold, leaving his wife to
wait till he got back One Mr.. Rains
came along and asked Mrs. Bruner to
be his, which she promised on condi-
ton that he would give her up if at any
time George should come back. She
was accordingly married to Rains, and
since that time there has been nothing
but sunshine, until short time ago
Brunerturned up again with his "pock-
cts full of rocks and demanded his
wife. She was willing, and Rains was
reminded Of his own tenure according
to the contract He admitted the
claim of Bruner to be good, and the
two proceeded to secure a reimbursement
Of the matrimonial moose, Rains apply
ing Tor divorce and Bruner aiding in
the proceedings. The Judge of the
Court said that the case was rather a
serious one, and refused to dispose of
it until next term.

STORY FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT MORE LAND.
know a and he lived in Jones
Which Jones is a county of red hills and stones-
And he lived pretty much by getting of loans,
And his mules were nothing but skin and bones
And his hogs fiat as his cornbread pones,
And he had bout thousand acres of land.
This man-and his name was also Jones
He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and
stones,
For he couldn't make nothin' but yellowish cotton,
And little of that, for his fences were rotten,
And what little cotton he had, that was boughten,
And ne couiant get living from the land.
And the longer he the madden he got,
And he rose and he walked to the stable lot
For to emigrate somewhere where the land was
rich,
AID to quit raising cock-burs thistles, and SIGH,
And wasting their time on barren land.
So him and Tom they hitched up their mules,
Protesting that folks were mighty big fools
That 'ud stay in Georgia their lifetime out,
jest scratching living, when all of them mought
Get places in feyas where cotton would sprout
BY the time you could plant it in the land
And he drove by house where man named Brown
Was living not far from the edge of town.
And be bantered Brown for to buy his place.
And said that seeing money skace,
And seeing sheriffs were hard to face
Two dollars acre would get the land.
rhey closed at a dollar and fifty cents
And Jones he bought him 4 wagon and tents,
And loaded his corn, and woman and truck
And moved to Texas which it took
His entire pile, with the best Of luck,
To get there and get him a little land.
But Brown moved ont on the old Jones farm,
And he rolled up his breeches and barred his arm
And he picked all the rocks from offn the ground,
And he rootedit up and plowed it down,
And sowed his corn and wheat in the land
Five years Gid by, and Brown day,
Who'd got SO fat that he wouldn't weigh),
Was sitting down, sorter laZiy,
To the pleasantest dinner you ever see,
When one of the children jumped on his knee
And says, " Yons Jones, which you bought his
land"
And there was Jones, standing out at the fence
And he hadn't no wagons, nor mules, nor tents,
For he had left Texas a-foot and come
TO Georgia, to see if he couldn't get some
Employment, and he was looking as hum
Bic a. if he had never owned any land.
Rrl.P asked him in, and he sot
Him down to his victuals smoking hot,
And when he had filled himself and the floor
Brown looked at him sharp, and rose and swore
That g whether mems land rich or poor,
There was more in the man than there was in the
land

Penny Postage between England and
America.

The London Daily News, comment
ing upon the bill lately. before Parla-
ment 20 establish a penny post be
tween England and the United States,
observes:
No doubt thereduction of the Ameri-
can postage to penny would have a
wonderful effect in developing CORE
spondence; but the change is so great
that it will take some time to effect
and Mr.. Monsell points out that our
present contracts stand till 1876; but
Mr.. Gladstone said it might be consid
cred whether the Postmaster General
could make new contracts, with a view
to this great reform. A penny postage
between England and the United States
will some day be established, and will
tend, more perhaps than any other
possible measure. to multiply and
strengthen those personal sympathies
which, stretching across the sea, bind
the two peoples more firmly together
than the laws or treaties.
