NOVEL CURE FOR THE AGUE.-An article in
the London Lancet, in discussing the merits
of certain efforts that have been made from
time To time to cure persons afflicted with
chllS by seeking TO make strong impress
sion on their nervous systems, goes on to re-
late how certain lady at Bedford, England,
"cured many patients by giving to them
spiders made into pills with -four and water"
The theory OF this remedy-the recipe for
which we thus give to our readers without
clmrgc-we suppose, is this: To supply a
counfcr-irritani, as the doctors say. That
is, just us patients begin to feel that peculiar
cra,riing OF the flesh which accompanies the
a.ue fit, let them haste and swallow spi-
Ger-a nice, lively one, we would suggest
and thus the counter-irritant caused by the
crdw'iny ,0ithin would very likely cause the
crGrhng ,cithout TO be entirely forgotten or
pass unnoticed, which, MS the lady inventor
of the '::spideE pills" argues, would of itself
work cure of the nlalady.

LokroN, January -Ecentng--The sud
den death Of eS-Emperor Napoleon tool
| everybody OF Chiselhurst, as we'll as Lon.
attendants, and household, and even the
physicians. were unprepared for il. Tho
Emperor had passed comparatively com
Portable night, his strength seemed undi.
minished, and at consultation early In the
morning 1t was thought he could stand q
! third operation, which was fully determined
| upon. }
So great was the confidence felt In the
patients condition TINT the Prince Imperial
| was permitted to return to Woolwich to re-
; sumo his studies. DIR. Gull went to London
yesterday, and many of the Empcrol's per-
sonal friends who FASTENED to Chiselhurst at
| the first alarm had returned TO their homes
There was no reason whatever to appreheEd
fatal turn in the case up to 0 O'Clock A. NJ.
when new and dangerous symptoms sud-
denly set in. The Emperors vital forces
seemed to leave him all ut once, and he com.
menccd 70 sink with alarming rapidity.
A telegram was instantly dispatched to
Woolwich for the Prince. DIR. Gull was
summoned from London, and Father God.
dard, the Emperor's spiritual adviser, was
sent for in the greatest haste to administer
| the last sacrament of the Church. The EN-.
pcrOr's private chaplain was also informed OF
tho danger, and started for Cbiselhurst. All
arrived TOO late. The Prince was not to see
his father alive. DR.. Gull and the clergymen
Just reached the park gates when the Empe'
ror expired.
The Empress, vino has been most constant
in her attendance, was the principal person
| at the bedside at the last hour. Medical adj
| viSers Sir Henry Thompson and Drs. Coryi-
sat and Clover, the Emperor's old friend DR..
| Conneau, and several members OF the house
hold, were also present.
Since the Emperor's death the residence
at Chisclhurst has been strictly closed to all
but nearest friends and relatives. The ply.
sicians state that death resulted from causes
| independent Of the surgical operation to
which the patient was subjected
The event produces the deepest impression
in London, where the Emperor was always
personally very popular with the masses.
The evening journals publish long obituaries
full of expressions of mourning.
PARIS, January 9.-News of the Empc-
ror's death was received ut late hour this
afternoon. 1t Is not vet possible to estimate
| the effect here. The Impcrialists, Of course,
are profoundly affected, and appear to regard
the event as final blow to their hopes. The
