and tens. Each one hundred will be
under a centurian. and each gang of

Captain Henry Romeyn, Of the
Fifth Infantry, is now in Detroit re-
covering from the wounds which he
received in the last battle with Jo-
seph's warriors. He tells the story
thus: "You see, I had been struck
five times, one ball shattering my
field glass, another raised disagree
able lump on my left shoulder, and
the others only damaged my cloth
ing. I ought to say that very early
in the fight my horse was killed,
and when I saw General Miles riding
close up, apparently unconscious
that he was getting into the hottest
corner, I warned him to keep back.
I had been lying comparatively
hidden in the long grass. I stood
up to take an observation. when
quicker than fash some warriors
singled me out and let drive. I felt
as if red hot iron bar had been
through me. I stood rooted in my
tracks for a moment, gasped, and
felt the air coming in at my back.
The next instant my mouth filled
with blood, and then I knew that 1
had been shot in the lung. 1 walked
seyenty-tive yards and then fell"

A large number Of Cincinnati
ladies are greatly ashamed at
having permitted themselves to

A few weeks since vessel from
Callao arrived, having on board q
live armadillo, which died the fol-
lowing day, and was thrown over
board. A sailor picked it up and
gave it to Judge Swan, who reques-
ted Capt. ralgardno to put it in salt,
and send it to Capt. Stratton, the
taxydermist, to stuff. On Sunday
last Del, examined the animal, and
finding it in good condition. wiped
it dry and laid it on large platter,
which he placed in the show window
at Woodlands restaurant, where it
attracted a great many people who
never had seen such a creature bef-
ore. Their interest was increased
by Peruvian opo-del-doc, which
was considered pretty near to armad-
lilo, the true name.
A lieutenant of the Russian
navy has recently patented a
substance for the preservation

very successful, and has, after a

ing this material to the surface
to be protected, and then cover
ing 1t with a coating Of ordinary
paint, it becomes absolutely in

think it a burning shame to

A baker in Paris having used, for
heating his oven. painted wood from
old houses which had been torn
down in opening a new street, many
persons who ate the bread were seiz-
ed with violent symptoms of lead
poisoning. The heat converted the
paint into pulverulent oxide of lead,
which adhered to the moist surface
of the loaves. The men who brush
ed these loaves were the first to suf-
fer, and then all who ate the crust

sity the agony of painters collie u

A Confession.

A man in the northern part
OF the province of Rio Janciro
has confessed upon his deathbed
that he was the real author Of
the murder of a family of eight
persons in 1852, for which Il
wealthy planter, by name Motta
Coqueiro, and three Of his slaves
were executed in 1856. The
house in which the victims lived
was set on fire after the crime
had been committed. Suspicion
having fixed itself on Motta Co
queiro, he and three of his slaves
were brought to trial. The evi-
dence was weak, but so strong
was the feeling against the plan
ter that the jury found him gull
ty, and the Court of Relation at
Rio Janeiro confirmed the SEN
tence of death. He aud his
friends strenuously asserted his
innocence, and when it was
found hopeless to obtain his ac-
quittal, every possible effort was
made to induce the Emperor to
grant him q pardon. 1t is even
said that sums amounting to
S250,O00 were promised to per-
sons around the Empress to in
duce them to enlist her sympa-
thies on behalf OF the condemned
man, and thus, by means of her
intercesslon with the Emperor,
to attain the object in view. All,
however, was in vain. The En-
peror was firm; the Empress de-
clined to interfere; the govern
mcnt sent a vessel Of war to Ma
cahe to prevent any attempt at
rescue, and Motta Coqueiro and
his three slaves were executed
for a crime which it turns out
now they never committed. The
man who lately died acknowl-
edged that he, assisted by some
Of his dependents, deliberately
murdered all the inmates of the
house, which they afterwards
burned. The doubts which arose
as to the justice of Motta Co.
queiro's fate and of those who
suffered with him, after their
execution, are supposed to have
raised an uneasy feeling in the
Emperor's mind, and he has
since, it is stated, shown great
disinclination to allow sentences
of death to be carried INTO effect.
