ALEXIS MARRIED.
The IIussinn Grand Duke's Runaway
Mntch--D Decree Of Bnnishnsent--A
Scrap of Imperial siossip

1t seems that Fred Grant brought back
from Europe bit of Imperial gossip. We
were flattering ourselves that the Grand
Duke was sent to the United States for
;he purpose Of studying our institutions
aud the characters, manners, and so forth,
of our people. 1t was the first time that
we were assured that q son Of the Car
had been sent 10 Republic. II turns out,
however, according to Fred, that this Is
all a delusion. The Prince Imperial had
become enamored of lady not Of the blood
royal by any means, and wished to marry
her. This did not meet the approval Of
the Imperial family, and so, to get clear
of the nesaiiiance, the young man was sent
abroad. But love laughs at locksmths
when he has latch key,) and the young
eirl followed her Imperial lover as far as
London, the two were united, on the sly.

One Worm did it.

One day was walking with some friends
through Sudbrook Park, in Surrey, when
Or. Ellis drew our attention to large
sycamore tree, decayed to the core.
"That fine tree" said he, 'was killed
by a single worm" 4,
In answer to our inquiries, we found
that about two years previously the tree
was as healthy as any in the park, when
wood. worm, about three inches long,
was observed to be forcing its way under
the bark of the trnnk. 1t then caught the
eve Of a naturalist who was staying here,
and he remarked, ''let the worm alone and
Il will kill the tree" This seemed improb
bic; but it was agreed that the black head
ed worm should not be disturbed.
After n while it was discovered that the
worm had tnnuelled its way considera-
Bile way under the bark. The next sum.
mer the leaves Of the tree dropped off very
early, and in the succeeding year 1t was
a dead, rotten thing, and the hole made
by the worm might be seen in the very
heart Of the once noble trunk.
aAhl y said one who was present, "let us
learn lesson from that single tree. How

The Tragedy at Austin.

Tho assassination of the Hon.
Louis FRANKIE, the Representative
of Fayette county in the Legisla-
turo, strikes terror TO every honest
and courageous heart in'iour land.
Nothing has occurred in our State,
in all its varied and bloody history,
which is so perfectly identified
with horror as this terrible murder,
and not o breath of our people will
70 forth that does not bear with it
prayer to God for the arrest and
execution of the lawlcss ruffians
who so untimely cut off tho life of
ono who had been chosen by his
constituency to fight for them the
contest ofgood government against
mongrel machinery. The manner
of his death sends the blood to
every honest heart chilled with the
just Indignation which such occur
rences always excite. There is no
word in our language thatis SO full
of awful meaning, so productive of
horrible sensations, and SO calculat-
cd to terrify, and, at tho samo in
slant, sicken with faintness and
fear the mind and heart as assass in. {.
The very presence Of ono in any
community, who can vail by night
the secret movements of his thirsty
blade when directed against the life
and being of an unsuspecting vic
tim, must cause men. to shudder,
evenin the facied security which the
law extends to ''life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
Assassinatod, low awful that
death which comes upon us when
we expect it not, from hand un-
seen and unfcared until the fatal
thrust has performed its work. The
concentrated contempt of q whole
people gives no sorrow or regret
to the beastly heart which directs
the assasSin's S missile, for he is the
enemy of mankind Aands'holds the
dagger at ticrcc point against, the
whole of the human race. Tosuch
men society owes but one thing
ga short rope and q long shriit"
Let us hopo that in this instance
that debt will be paid to those who
have turned loose in our State,
within tho portals of our Capital
the demon Of death, and directed
its attack against ono who was un-
offending, and unsuspccting the
awful doom which awaited him in
the terrible moment when the shad.
ows of uncnding sleep fell over him.

Wholesale Slaughter OF Choctaw
Horse. .Thieves-Sixteen Arrested
and Six Leaders Shot

From the Ft Smith Inependent, Feb. O..
We learn from DR., yFannin, of Scully-
vile, Cboctaw Nation, that on Friday
last, two. companies of Choctaw citizens,
one from Sugar Loaf county, and one from
Scullyville, headed by Lighthouse, started
out in pursuit of horse thieves. On FRI
day night the company from Sugar Loaf
captured sixteen of the gang, and on Sat-
ueday morning, after council being held,
took six of the leaders of the gang and
shot them. They made confessions :mpli-
eating others. The company is in Pur-
suit Of them. The ihieving of this gang
has been Sc great that the people have de-
tormined TO visit their crimes in sum
mary manner. DR.. F. says II is the up.
rising of the people. Those killed were
Chociaws-a part full bloods, and part
half bloods. 1t is thought that others Of
the gang will share the same fate Of the
six.
A NEGRO KILLED IN THE CHEROKEE NATION.
I, On Saturday evening, we learn from
Mr.. Jacobs, the ferryman,a negro who had
been attending the United StatesCourt for
several weeks had crossed the river about
sundown, on his way home, and was shot
down by some one Of q party Of Indians
who were drinking and we're armed with
guns and pistols. The negro was shot in
the forehead, and the murder was commits
ted through wantonness, without the least
provocatiou. The negro's name was Jack
lIarvy, and he lived about IA miles above
Fort Gibson, on Grand river, and was

The feeling in favor of reducing the

Of having that vacancy filed by the ap'
