Details are meager, and the extent of the

A special dispatch, reviewing Gam

says the speech will force itself on the at

The London Times correspondent esti-
mates that thirty-ive Bonapartists, thirty
five legitimists, thirty-ive OIleanists or con-
sritutOnalists, and about one hundred re-

The most important features of the elections
are tie triumphs of the.moderate republicans

DejaZet.

French papers overflow with anecdotes
respecting the lamented and popular
Deiazet. She was Il great admirer of
the first Napoleon, and when she heard OF
the second marriage of Marie Louise she
exclaimed, Indignantly: How could
she? If that great hero had ever so
much as kissed my hand | never should
have washed it again !!
Once, when she was at Caen, she took
a fancy to visit the market on market
day. There, among the noisy pdySaRRGs,
who were crying their wares and disput-
ing the prices thereof in their loudest
tones. she noticed one who was the most
active and popular of them all, and whose
face seemed strangely familiar. Dejqzet
was about to approach her, when the bell
of the market sounded the signal for
closing. The market-woman climbed
into her cart, whipped up her horse, and
disappeared. Her face, however, haunted
the actress 50 persistently that, finding
out that she occupied a small farm not
far from Caen, Deiazet resolved to pay
her visit. On arriving at the farm,
she found its proprietress in the act oil
peeling carrots for soup. On beholding
Deiazet she started to her feet with a
shrek, and carrots, knife, and all, went
rolling on the ground.
Virginie she cried.
Theodore :" exclaimed her visitor
who in the market-wOman recognized
one of the former stars of the Gymnase
the beautiful and gifted Madame Theo
dore, who wearied of her profession anG
its triumphs, had ten years before quilted
the stage and disappeared from Paris
The two former comrades embraced eacl
other warmly. Drawing Dejazet int
her little parior, she pointed out TO he
the wreaths Of silver and of gildeC
laurels that hung against the wall, the
sole remaining relic Of a brief and bril-
liant career.

Prehistoric Man,

There is no subject 1t present which
excites more interest than information
In regard to the manners and customs of
the prehistoric races of the world, any
hint, however slight, being eagerly seized
upon to assist in increasing our knowl
edge in this direction. The peculiarities of
the skeletons are, of course, well known
from the remains extant, the bones
resisting the ordinary agencies of de
struction. So with the greater portion
of the implements and utensils tlsed by
these people, whether of wood, bone,
stone, or metal. The case is quite diff
ferent however, in 50 far rs human lin
eamehts are concerted, The instances of
corpses preserved with the flesh and the
skin in a better or worse state, being
very rare but when occasionally these
are found, clothed, in exceptionally Sc
cure resting places, the record of their
discovery is eagerally scanned.
Quite lately, in eXcaYating tumultis
of the bronze period in Jutland, Denmark,
three oaken collins were met with. In
one was found skeleton of woman
clothed in wooden chemise with q long
skirt. Around the lions was girdle, and
the whole body was envelOped in a wool
en- cloak, Upon the head was q fillet of
hair with bronze diadem, the arm was
ornamented with bracelets, and a band
was around the neck, all of bronze. In
the middle of the coffin was a beautiful
clay vase, and a bronze dagger with a
horn handle.
The skeleton of young man was
found in another coffin covered with a
cloak fastened together with Il pin. BY
the side was the scabbard of long
sword, in which was inserted small
bronze dagger. A box made of bark was
near the head. The third coffin con-
tained the skeleton of an adult female
covered with a cloak. Around the loins
was fastened short skirt Of wooden
tissue, with cincture formed with
twisted woolen threads, and on the head
was wooden hood.
In the same tumulus was n large
square cavity inclosed by numerous
stones, in which were several swords and
daggers in bronze, and a double bronze
button covered with gold. Under the
sod which covered this tumulus was
found pile of small stones knife, and
various other articles

Cameron's March Across Africa.

MADEIRA correspondence of the London
Telegraph gives further details respect
ing Lieut. Cameron's expedition. The
gallant explorer, i'll traversing the
breadth of the entire continent, from
Zanzibar to Angola, met on the whole
with a favorable reception from
the natives. He reached Benguella
on the 9TH and LOandaon the 10Th
of November, with fifty-seven easo
coast men, all in good health. 1t
was Cameron's intention to remain at
Loanda until an opportunity arrived for
sending his men home around by the
Cape to the east coast. OF course, the
especial interest attaching to his mission
is the great question of the connection OF
the Congo with the great eastern lakes
1t appears that he followed large river
flowing out of Lake Tanganyika in q
southwesteriy direction, tracing o it
whole course till he came upon a new
lake, which he named "Livin gstne. 5"
From this body OF water a second large
river runs westward, which the lieuteR-
ant. having traced it for n considerable
part of its length, believes TO be the
Congo. 1t would seem that he was una
bic to continue along the river on ac-
count of meeting a tribe of hostile ma
tives. He had to choose between fight
ing his way through these unfriendly
tribes, with the risk of losing all his
journals and papers, or of taking 4 differ
ent direction. The latter alternative
see med preferable, and though it pre-
vented the absolute verifcation of his
important discovery, he has personally
no doubt that the stream flowing out of
Livingstone Lake and Congo are one
and the same.

Loss Of the Steamer Dante.

Another great maritime disaster has
occurred in st. Georges channel, involv-
ing a loss of no fewer than twenty-0he
lives. The steamer Dante, owned by
Messrs. Glover Brothers, of London,
sailed from Liverpool on a voyage to
Bombay, with a crew of twenty-seveu
hands, all told, and two other persons,
who were either passengers or the doctor
and purser. She was under the command
of Captain Buchanan and her Liverpool
agents were Messts. Stoddard Brothers,
Of Water. street. About midnight she
had passed the Smalls, and was between
that point and the Tuskar light. The
watches were being changed, when the
red light of an approaching vessel was
seen approaching to starboard. The
night was dark and cloudy, and there
was strong breeze from the southwest
with gUod sea on. The helm OF the
steamer was ported, but in a short time
she was run into by the vessel, which
proved to be the Norwegian bark, Grons-
vair, bound for Liverpool. The Dante
was struck amidships, on the port side :;
and such was the force of the shock that
she sank seven minutes afterward. The
chief officer and three men clambered on
to the bows of the bark, and the others
were either carried down with the steam
er, or were left struggling in the water.
The second engineer was picked up four
hours afterwards, foatingon spar. The
captain, chief engineer and fireman
were discovered clinging to a life-bOat of
the Dante after eight hours immersion.
All these men were taken on board the
bark, which put out boats to search.
The survivors were brought to Liverpool.
The Gronsvair was injured but slightly,
having her cutwater and bows partially
stove in. Some of the survivors were
taken to the soldiers home, Liverpool,
where their wants were attended to.
The Dante was Il vessel Of / ,743 tons, and
II, 800 horsepower, and was built in
1874 by J. Softly 4 Co She was valued
at e35, ,0OO and the value of her cargo
was between eighty and one hundred
thousand pounds.
