DEATH FROM A SLIGHT AocIDENT.-On
Thursday afternoon of last week Matthew
Cantwell, young man about twenty-five
years of age, and son of Joseph P. Can't
well, Esq, of Elkton, Maryland, slipped
on the pavement of the Howard house.
He did not fall to the ground but succeeded
in catching on his hand, and walked on
without serious discomfort The remainder
OF the afternoon he remained on the street
and spent the evening in social pleasure.
About two o'clock the next morning he
aroused his sister and asked her to send for
the doctor, as he believed he was dying.
The doctor was sent for but did not.arriye
for several hours. When he reached the
bedside he found the patient suffering, but
without apparent cause. During the day
he continued to grow worse, and it was
concluded that he was bleeding internally
All efforts to relieve him failed, and on
Sunday morning he died, the victim of
perhaps as slight an accident as ever was
attended with fatal results.

WHAT IS INSANITY :? - AT murder
trial in Memphis, wherein an attempt to
establish insanity is made on the part of
defence, DR.. j. R. Allen was called as an
expert and testified as follows: | have
been a practising physician for nearly
thirty years; have had some experience
in cases of insanity, having been for ten
years medical superintendent of the Ken
lucky Lunatic Asylum, and during that
time had over 1000 crazy people under
my charge; I have heard the Hypothetical
case read by Mr.. Phelan am here as an
expert, and, before answering this question,
would like to say that the more l studied
the question of insanity the less l under
stood it, and if you ask me where it begins
and where it ends neither | nor any ply
sician in the world could tell you; in fact,
on occasions like this, lawyers make fools
of themselves in trying to make asses of
doctors.

Paris News by Bailoon-.The Troons
of the City SttI Hopeful,


In the Senate, Mr.. Pendleton offered a
resolution for the purchase of Elders
portrait OF Gen Lee. In support Of his
resolution, Mr.. Pendleton delivered bril-.
liant enlogy upon the character of Lee, as
he appeared as citizen and man.
He was followed by Colonel w. Fl. Tay-
toT, who, in view Of the personal relations
that had existed between himself aud the
General, said he thought it proper to state
that the picture was the most life-like and
perfect than any he had ever seen but one,
and that one was in the Military Institute,
and had been painted by man who had
never seen anything more Of the subject
than photograph. That could not be
obtained. He wanted this purchased so
that it might never be removed from this
chamber that il uightstand before future
generations as model of virtue, nobleness
Of soul and exalted character.
Mr.. Massie offered as an amendment
that $500 be also appropriated for the
purchase of a picture OF Geo FL. Thomas.

The resolution was then adopted--Ayes

The SAN DOMINGO COMMISSION. The
United States steamer Tennessee, fitted out
at New York to take the commissioners
to San Domingo, is now ready for sea.
She is fitted up in first-class style, and has
spacious accommodations for the commits
sioners, nine commodious state-rooms bav-
ing been set apart for them and their
secretary. The journalists who accompany
the commission may not be SO comfortably
fixed, and will probably have to swing at
night in hammocks, as the vessel has full
complement of officers on board, who, of
course, occupy their rooms. 1t was UNDER
stood that the expedition would start to-
day.

AN OLD MURDER MYsTERY-REPoRTEp
confession OF THE MURDERER. The
murderer of Rogers, in New York, on the
morning of December 81, 1868, has Just
been discovered in the person of convict
in the Auburn State prison, named Francis
E. Pinton. The detection of the murderer
was brought about by the keeper, w. V.
B. Hoffman, whose attention was first at
tracted to the murderer by his peculiarly
nervous appearance in the State shop,
where he has been employed. The man
is transferred prisoner from Sing-Sng,
to which prison he was sentenced from
New York on the Sd of February, 1869,
for five years imprisonment, for grand
larceny. After noticing his pecularities,
Hoffman was struck by some remarks
which he made to fellow convict in rela-
ton to the Rogers affair. Pinton was af-
terwards drawn out by comrade at Hoff-
mans Instance, and made clean breast of
the circumstances connected with the rob-
berry and murder. Pinton's confession is
net given in detail. He is now in solitary
confinement in the dungeon for miscon-
duct The officials of the prison say that
his disclosures are in every way conclusive
as to his guilt. He is refusing food at pre-
sent, declaring he will yet clear the gal
lows by starvation.

The French have sustained still another
terrible defeat, but, though beaten, they
do not yet seem entirely disheartened
The scene of the late encounter was near
LIE Mans, in the department of Sarthe,
and about one hundred and twelve miles
southwest of Paris. The defeated forces
were the Army of the Loire, under the
command of General Chanzy. The tele-
graphic description of the engagement
brings to mind the battle of Gettysburg,
which it resembled in many material
respects. Both armies occupied crcsts,
both lines were semi-circular in form, a
valley lay between them, and the fiaal
struggle was preceded by terrible
artillery fire. In these particulars the
two battles named closely resembled each
other, but there was mo snow at Gettys-
burg, as on this field. The loss of the
French is set down at fifteen or sixteen
thousand. The Germans confess to a
heavy loss, but give no figures.

Well said,

The following paragraph, which we clip
from the Norfolk Aay Book, contains a
whole volume Of good, sound sense, and
reflects great credit upon the enlightened
intelligence of that paper:
The efforts of the Democratic press, the Nor
folk Journal among the number, to perpetrate
puns upon, abuse, and villify the private char
acter of the President, are painful to witness !;
painful, because of the poor success they meet
with in their undertaking. 1t seems too bad
that so much time, labor, and printers ink
should be wasted in such foolishness. This
line of conduct but reflects on the authors of
it; sensible people become diseusted with the
oft-repeated nonsense, and pity the brain that
has nothing better to offer.
Our neighbor of the Journal has lately de.
voted much of his space to scurrilous attacks
upon the private character of the President,
space that could have been more proftably
employed-and the Democratic press through
out the country have adopted the same line of
conduct; meantime General Grant quietly
attends to his Executive duties regarding only
the good of the country; triumphs over his
enemies in every battle; smokes bis cigar un-
mindful that there is Democratic Journal in
the country; and sensible people frown down
these miserable attempts at wit, and scurrilous
attacks, and the journals that indulge in them.
manly criticism upon the official acts of
public men all must honor; but these low
nings at the private character of public men
are beneath the dignity of respectable journa-
lism and should be, and are, justly condemned
by all right minded, fair, justice-loving people.

THE WRECK OF THE SAetNAw-JNrrn. I

The WRECK OF THE SAGGNAw--TNTER-
EsTINd PARTIcULARs.--A private letter
received announces that Halford, tho cox
swain of Commander Sicard, of the steamer
Saginaw, had arrived at San Francisco in
the mail steamer from Honolulu He was
the only one saved from the boats crew of
Lieut.. Talbot, lost in the surf at Kani
Island. Halford states that when he left
the officers and crew of the Saginaw they
were comfortably quartered on the Sand
Island, living in tents, with plenty of
turtle, fish, birds. birds eggs, and water in
abundance. They had small amount of
ships provisions, but with the turtle, &C.,
had no apprehension about focd. The
Hawaiian steamer left Honolulu on Deem
ber 26th, in command of Capt. Loug, a
very able and experienced seaman, and
there was no doubt that all the survivors
of the Saginaw had reached Honolulu in
safety. Lieut.. Talbot was gallant officer.
He lost his life when he had almost reach
ed the shore-a hard fate after he had
successfully navigated small boat on the
open ocean for over a month, and experien-
ced all kinds of hardships and bad
weather.

from lady 10 Paris, dated December 20,
aud forwarded by balloon post. The
writer says:
" From what / hear from people well

How and with what people are to live
| during these three weeks is dreadful to
think of for the misery in the streets and
the privations of everybody are very hard
to put up with already. Eggs are franc

but there is no more; and milk is at
wonderful price. / have taken neither
butter, eggs, nor milk for two months and
a half.
"We seldom get meat now, aud then
but three ounces once week. The bread
is very brown, nearly black; vegetables it
is impossible to get chicken costs from
80 to 40 francs. At first | could not bear
the idea of eating borse-meat, and now I
am only too glad when | can get some to
make soup with, which is the best way to
eat it. Fortunately have a very good
maid, much attached to me, who knows
how to dress it. have provisions of rice,
chocolate and jam but really, think
shall never be able to look at jam or pre-
serves of any sort after this siege, for it
has been my principal food.

had very disagreeable things to put up
with; but, fortunately, Colonel Hoffman
has been very kind to me in affording me
the protection of the legation. At first /
thought would have been obliged to take
in some soldiers, and had very great
trouble about it, until the legation iuter-
fered. After that was summoned before |

Again the legation interfered, aud ] am |
allowed a respite like the Ffench people. |
After that was suspected Of being spy

letters were opened. Again the legation

dreadful time of misery and sickness. The
smallpox is dreadful lately, and many
other diseases also. 1t all seems like

true. | have now got accustomed to the
sound of the cannon though sometimes at
night it keeps me awake. l have had no
fear except during those emeutes at the
Hotel de Vile on the Goth, S0th, and 31st

still there is fear of the poor class Of

The British loss in killed, wounded, and
prisoners was about 500, while the Ameri-
cans lost only seventy men. A gold medal
