bed and to sleep. About 9 o'clock my
wife was awakened by the repeated
whinnying of q horse in front of the
house. She never suspected that it
was ours, but took it for q stray, and
from motives of humanity called up
one of the men and ordered it put in
the stable When the man went out
and found that it was our own horse,
and that I was in the wagon apparently
dead and frozen stiff, he made an out

AntOneli's william Interesting DOcu-
ment
The will of the late Cardinal Anto-
nelli seems to shed a new light upon
the character of one of the best abused
and least trusted men of his time. At
ter commencing his soul to the mercy
of God, directing the celebration of
masses and bequeathing crucifx to
the Pope, he says:
Before proceeding to dispose of my
private fortune, declare that I do not
possess any other capital beyond that
which came from the inheritage of my
excellent father, or which / have been
able to acquire through the means left
me by him. I protest, therefore,
against all the calumnies which on that
and on any other account whatsoever
have been in SO many ways circulated
through the world, before God who is
to judge me, and before Him I forgive
from my heart all those who have tried
to do me evil.
eff, in doing my duty, may have
caused displeasure to any one, have
the conscience of never having had
even the intention Of injuring any one
whomsoever. I direct my heirs to con-
sign to the persons whom I have
thought it my duty to remember some
memoranda which shall leave written
in d sealed paper by me subscribed"
The will, as has been already an
nounced, bequeaths the bulk of his
property to bis brothers, but also con-
tains long list of minor legacies to
more distant relatives and Intimate
friends. The Cardinal also makes
ample provision for his old servants.
King Who Has Never Been Crowned.
From the Boston Journal.
Though there have been no Access
sions recently to European thrones,
excepting in Turkey, there is likely to
be coronation on the Continent else
where than at Constantipople. Though
the King of Denmark, Christian TX.
he has never been crowned, the trou-
bles prevailing between Germany and
Denmark in 1868 making the times in
suspicious for a costly ceremony, The
country mas prospered since, and the
cost can be better borne now. There is
withal a feeling Of political discomfort,
which the King hopes to allay by be-
ing formally invested with the rank he
has worn 80 long. He is at the present
time ffty-nine years old. A curious
fact in regard to the Danish Kings is
that they must be known by the name
of Frederick or that of Christian, and a
prince acceding to the throne, no mat.
ter what his baptismal name might be,
would be obliged to take one of these
names. Christians predecessor was
Frederick VII.
