THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.

1t is now almost fifty years since there
was entered at the military school of
st. Cyr young man of seventeen, who
to other merits added that of being the
son of a peer of France. st. Cyr was
at that date well stocked with the
progeny of nOblemen. Its catalogue
bristled with Montmorencys, Har-
courts, Luynes and Rohans, who amused
themselves of a Sunday in going to
Paris and making rout at the theater
Francais or giving liberal journalists,
such as then was M. Thiers, reason
enough for a duel. The former was gen.
orally compassed by kissing Mile. Mars,
who had a faint of Bonapartism; the
letter in any of those ways which young
men know how to use when disposed to
be riotous; and no doubt that young
Mac Mahon, the son of peer of France,
then a fierce legitimist, later the lieuten-
ant of Louis Napoleon, still later the
right hand of NJ. Thiers, but to succeed
him at last, may have lain awake many
a night speculating on whom he might
fix a quarrel. Young gentlemen at
st. Cyr were prone in those days to con-
spiracies against the peace in small
way, and to them q liberal journalist
was vermin' to be worried by cat and
then disposed OF. Everybody remem-
bers-for it was the talk of the salons

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Shooting and Robbery Of B. f. Bar
nett, near Pamela, Miss.

A Kentucky horse drover, by the
name of B. F. Barnett, says the PnROld
Star, reports that he was shot at,
wounded and robbed, near our town, on
Saturday night last, about dark. There
is some mystery connected with the
affair, and doubts are entertained as to
whether the party did not shoot himself,
and report that he was robbed for some
unknown sinister cause. The facts are
these, so far as known: About two
weeks since, B. E. Barnett, from Rock
field, Warren county, Kentucky, came
to this place with six or seven fine
horses, in company with a hired man,
and as he had been previously in
this section with stock, he was known by
Messrs. Locke d Rice, livery-stablemen
and he quartered his horses in their
stable. He effected a sale of all of the
horses to parties here, selling the last
horse on Saturday evening, but reserv-
ing the right to ride the horse out in the
country that evening. Having made
all of his arrangements for leaving next
morning at daylight on the train, and
having sent his hired man home on
Wednesday, he left town about one
o'clock, stating that he was going out to
see a certain party by the name of j.
Wright, who lived about fifteen
miles northeast of this place, and
who owed him three hundred
dollars. He was goneuutil nine o'clock
in the morning, when he returned and
stated that he had been shot and robbed
of twelve hundred dollars, by two men,
about six miles from town; that he had
gone within four miles of Wright's
house, and had met Wright, and had
received the three hundred dollars, and
that he returned to town, and when
within six or seven miles of this place
two men sprang out from the roadside
and demanded his money. He said he
had none, and they fired upon him,
and that he fell from the horse
wounded in the left arm, and that be
was robbed and made to get ON the
horse and start toward town, the rob
bers disappearing In the woods. He was
greatly excited and confused, and could
not tell where and how he was shot and
robbed, other than the above statement.
A surgeon was summoned, and it was
found that he was shot by pistol ball
through the fieshy part of the left arm,
and that a ball had been shot into the
left breast of his coat, the ball striking
a memorandum book and glancing off.
He left on the train next morning, re-
fusing to stay here and take any steps
toward arresting or giving any informa-
ton of the affair.
