Particulars Of the Assassination Of
Marshal Prim.

The New York Herald's special cor
respondent at Madrid writes the 29th
of December in regard to the assassin
alton of Prim: E Agi7uf - fssaafs
"I was at the opera when the news
first reached us. The curtain fell on
the first act, when, as the audience
strolled through the lobbies, Govern
msnt messenger rushed In with haste
inquiring for Prim. Instantly, as if
by magic, the cry went forth all over
the house, sPrim has been shotl'
'Prim has been assassinated How
the news was first uttered aloud, how,
pit, the boxes, the gallery, and the sa-
looms, it is impossible to say but
as the cry spread the effect was
tremendous. Deciding to go to
the fountain-head for news, I hastened
to the War Office, where the General
lives. There was crowd of carriages
at the entrance of the ornamented
grounds surrounding the palace of war.
A throng of idlers were obstructing the
| sidewalks and ways, In spite of the
thick snow. AS went up the wide
staircase, the guard, which had been
instantly doubled, sorrowfully pointed
out the reddish blotches on the balus-
trade. tThe Generals blood, he whis-
pered. The Generals Adjutant gave
me the first correct story. He witness
cd the scene, having occupied q front
seat in the carriage. His own version
of the affair is as follows: Prim and
two aids, as usual, left the Cortes at the
conclusion of the debate in the evening,
at half-past z o'clock, and entered q
carriage and drove rapidly in the short
est way from the Cortes to the War
| n Hoo ,afr n fa6 OF
the time. At the point where the Gale
del Fured debouches into the Alcalla,
the broadest street in the city, through
a narrow passage, two hired cabs were
drawn up and obstructed the way. This
is so common an event, however, that it
would scarcely attract notice; but Lieut..
Mayo, my informant, dropped the glass
in the door nearest him and looked out
| Just in time to see two men, who were
carrying guns under their long Andalu-
sian cloaks, advancing from the shadow
| of the! cabs. He had barely time to
cry out Stop, General They are going
to firep when the muzzles of the blum
derbusses were dashed into the car
riage through the windows on either
hand, shivering the glass to atoms, and
the contents discharged point blank at
the occupants in the back seat, who
must, have been undistingaishable in
the darkness. The next moment the
assassins darted back under cover of
the cabs, and SO around into the Al
Gala, where they mounted two horses
that were there tied to trees, and in an
instant were safe from pursuit because
of the snow and darkness. The coach
man dashed the horses forward against
number of cabs, upsetting one, and
drove in hot haste to the War Office,
where the wounded men alighted.
Prim simply remarked to the sentinel {:
Il am wounded, but not much )"

believe that Paris can be taken by

The COmmander-in- Chief Of the French
Army OF the North.

1
Louis Leon Cesar Faidherbe, now
Commander-in-Ch Chief of the French
Army of the North, was born at Lille
on the Sd of June, 1918. He was ed
ucated at the college in that place, en-
tered the polytechnic school in 1888,
then went on to the military school at
Metz, which he left IN 1642 with q lieu
tenants commission in the 1stregiment
of engineers. He served first in Al
geria, where he remained throughout
1874 and 1845. Having obtained the
rank of captain, he sailed, in 1913, for
La Guadaloupe, where he acquired
much colonial experience, and became
Injured to life in the tropics. Having
failed In obtaining an appointments
at Senegal he returned to Algeria
in 1850, where he constructed the
outlying fort of Bou-Saada, took part
in the. campaign of Kabylia, under
Gen. Saint Armand, and also in the ex-
pedition Of Gen. Bosquet to the Alger7
ian highlands. The services he per-
formed at the time of the disaster
which then occurred were rewarded by
the Gross of the Legion of Honor. At
the end of that year-1S52-h was, at
his reiterated request, sent to Senegal.
Here he soon gave proofs of remarkable
administrative ability, and, after two
years residence, showed such knowl-
edge of the needs, the dangers, the
economy, and the practical policy of
the colony that in 1854 he was made
Governor of the French possessions in
Senegal. NJ. Faidherbe now devoted
himself to the fulhl1ment of the task
he had SO long wished to take in hand
the thorough renovation of the colony
He carried on successful warfare with
the Moors of Furza, but his principal
warlike achievement was the struggle
he carried on for some time, and over
great extent of territory, with
the prophet cEl-Hadji-Oma who
had conceived the idea of
founding vast Mussulman Empire in
Central Africa, and driving out all for
eign intruders. He compelled this
apostle of Islam to submit in 1860, and
left Senegal to command the sub-divis-
ion of Sidi-bel-Abbes, having been
made Lieutenant-C CoIonel of Engineers
in 1855, and Colonel In 1858. But his
absence was soon felt In the colony, his
policy was not maintained, his instruc-
On the Goth of May,
1868, M. Faidherbe, raised to the rank
of Brigadier- General, resumed the reins
of government in Senegal, Two years
after, his health requiring his return to
a less murderous climate, he took the
highest command in the sub division of
Bone. NJ. FaidAerbe has written much |
on the manners, language, and history
of the African nations, as we'll as on the
geology and archaeology of
the districts they inhabit. He is
of the Geographical Societies
Of Paris, London and Berlin.

ton that William Hartley and Florence
were the only heirs to all the immense
wealth of mark Granger. Then, too,
it was, they knew that Carl's heartless-
ness and rude, unkind speech had
wrecked all his prospects of ever pos
sessing his uncle's wealth. He knew
it, too, when the news reached him. In

$4,000 seekinr an Owner.

It is strange how difficult it some
times is to find the owners of very val
liable property. There is in the pos
session of one of the great English rail
way companies magnificent snuff box,
encrusted with diamonds, which was
found by some superatively honest
porter in one of the carriages. The
company advertised in every conceiva-
bic manner to try and discover its own
er, but In vain, and it is now filed with
snuff, and handed round at meetings OF
tfthe board" 1t seems. by the follow
ing advertisements, which has been go
ing the round of London papers, that
an owner is wanted for still more val
liable property:
STOLEN DIAMONDS AND JEWELS.
tice is hereby given, that in the course
of the month of September, probably
the 18th, a casket was stolen at Rosen-
helm, in Bavaria, from the luggage of
travellers from Vienna to Munich.
This casket contained several jewels,
and the value of the stones now in the
hands of the police is estimated at
"a, 900.
The jewels appear to be very old, ac-
cording to their cutting and setting, and
of Oriental workmanship.
Amongst others is a triangular emer-
aid seal, engraved on the three sides, as
follows:
(a.) In niz beguzared.
(b.) Nasil chodoscha.
(c.) Nasil.
Several gold and silver seals, on one
of which are the letters, Mani Schah.
As the owners of these jewels have,
up to the present time, not claimed
their property, notice is hereby given
them to apply either at the Royal
Police Court at Munich, or at the Ba-
varian Consulate General, London, A
Palmerston buildings.

LAST Saturday afternoon, at Browns
town, Jefferson county, Kentucky, some
men and boys filed hollow anvil with
powder and placed another anvil upon
It, that the explosion might be loud.
When the explosion occurred, one piece
of the anvil struck a negro in the breast,
killing him instantly. A boy in the
party was slightly injured at the same
time.

A LADY, at Hartford, of infirm health,
has been in the habit of getting her
coachman to attend to her business af-
fairs. Some time ago he was given
some 500. 600 to invest in United States
bonds, but instead of purchasing them
he kept the money himself, paying the
interest as fast as the time came
around. Last fall the lady wished to
purchase an estate in Florida where
she might spend the winter, and ac-
cordingly the coachman was furnished
with funds to theamount of s., 900, and
he started southwark. In few weeks
he returned and announced that hehad
purchased suitable residence for her,
showing what purported to be the ne
cessary papers. He assisted in boxing
the furniture, but before this was com
pleted he disappeared. This led to an
investigation, which revealed his ex'
tensive swindling operations, and steps
were taken which at last led to his ap
prehension.

Stealing an Infant.
From the N. z. Commercial Advertise

From the N. Y. commercial AuveftlDer.
A very singular circumstance recently
happened to a lady living In Harlem, in
One Hundred and Twenty fourth st.
The person we refer to, the wife of a
man employed In the custom house SER
vice, became the mother of an interest
ing child about two months ago. After
the birth of the child, she was so i'll
that she could not nourish it, and a
nurse was procured, who took care Of
the child Tor some weeks. In the
meantime the husband and father
met with serious accident, which 50
disabled him that he was con-
fined to his house. During the Illness
of both, the nurse was In attendance,
going to her home occasionally, One
day on her return she informed the
father and mother that neighbor Of
hers IN Twenty-ninth street had lost
her little baby, and was anxious to find
one to nurse, that she was q very nice
lady, and would take care OF the dear
little creature The father aud mother
consulted In regard TO the matter sug-
gested, and being poor and unable to
pay the expense of the nurse, consent-
ed to let the baby be placed in the care
Of the lady mentioned TIE nurse
gave the lady's name as Mrs. James
DIdubu0N, living ~ GtOs fAo rNScS
Twenty ninth street &C.,
Last week the father so far recovered
as to be able to get out, and the wife
impressed upon him the duty of going
to see their ''dear little one" as they
had not seen the nurse In some time.
He went, of course, but could not find
the number, and sUpposing he had
made mistake, concluded to examine
the paper left by the norse-he did 50
and found it to correspond with his re-
collection. He made another effort TO
find the person through the police, but
has not yet succeeded in finding any
trace of the lady or the nurse. The
poor afflicted mother is bordering on
madness over the loss of her babe.
What is more inhuman than robbing
mother of her child That a woman
should do this is degree of heartless-
ness that we never supposed could be
possessed by a woman; but when we re-
member that the worst hends In society
wear petticoats, and that Restello still
pursues her calling despite the police,
we are not surprised.

LONDON, Dec. 21st, 1S70.-The great
question here, or rather the question of
the whole world, is-H When will Paris
capitulate to the King of Prussia Q"
Upon that hinges the continuance of
the war. 1t is, therefore, the problem
which interests all nations which have
any business relations with France
The following correspondence of the
London Telegraph from headquarters at
Versailles s-centre of German news
attracts attention here. It corresponds
with what wrote from Havre, on No
vember 1st. This picture is even more
rose-colored. Before I left I came to
the conclusion that Paris could hold
out until the 1st of March without very
severe privation. At least, such as
Leyden and Saragossa endured :;
but no one could tell how the citizens
would bear the defeat of the Loire
army which was organized to relieve
Paris. 1t now appears that the French
are exhibiting, under adversity, the ut

race. But can they wear out the pa

will say, they cannot. We place the

would be worth q rush, in battle with
the veterans of the besieging army.

HORSE. RADIsH FOR Cows.-We find
afoating among our exchanges state
ment concerning which we know moth
ing, to the effects that horse-radish is an
excellent condiment to mix with the
feed of cows, to give them an appetite,
and to make them sleek and thrifty. 1t
should be fed freely to all animals that
are not well, and it will be of great SER
vice to working oxen troubled with heat.
If given to cows in doses of pint day
mixed with potatoes or bran, il will pre-
vent or relieve them of the disease called
cake in the bag. Few animals refuse to
eat it, and some animals will eat greedi-
ly as much as half peck at time.
