Killed With a Base.BaMBat.

Kent McLin, a young son OF $. b.
McLin, formerly of Florida, died i'll this
place on Sunday night from the effects of
injuries received during the game of
base ball on Friday afternoon. A Hum-
Der of boys were playing game of base
ball, ana young McLin and another
young man named Dudley were on the
sumo side. McLin claimed that it was
his turn to go to the bat, and Dudley
said it was his, and walked up to McLin
and took the bat from him. McLin be-
came angry and struck Dudley in the
stomach with his fist. Dudley jumped
back, and seeing McLin still approach
ing him, as if to strike again, he COM
menced waving the bat rapidly in front
of his body and walking backward. Nc
Lin continued to approach, trying to run
in near enough to strike, holding his
head forward and down. In this
position he ran up too near to Dudley.
and the bat struck him on the temple
just above the ear, fracturiDg the skull.

A Murderer,s Confession.

A man in the northern part of the
province of Rio Janeiro has confessed
upon his deathbed that be was the real
author of the murder of family OF eight
persons in 1852, for which a wealthy
planter, by name Motta Coqueiro, AMI
three OF his slaves were executed In 1856.
The house in which the victims lived was
set on fire after the crime had been COM
mitted. Suspicion having fixed itself on
Motta Coqueiro, he and three of his
slaves were brought to trial. The evil
dence was weak, but so strong was the
feeling against the planter that the jury
found him guilty, and the Court Ct Re
lation at Rio confirmed the sentence of
death. He and his friends strenuously
asserted his innocence, and, when it was
found hopeless to obtain his acquittal,
every possible effort was made to induce
the Emperor to grant him a pardon. 1t
is even said that sums amounting to
$3.50 600 were promised to persons
around the Empress to induce them to
enlist her sympathies on behalf of the
condemned man, and thus, by means of
her intercession with the Emperor, 10
attain the object i'll view. All, however,
was in vain. The Emperor was firm; the
Empress declined to interfere; the Gov
eminent sent vessel of war TO Macahe
to prevent any attempt ut rescue, and
Motta Coqueiro and his three slaveswerc
executed for a crime which Il now turns
out they never committed. The man
who lately died acknowledged that he,
assisted by some of his dependents, de-
hberately L ordered all the inmates of
the house, which they afterward h,hned
The doubts which arose as to TIN Justice
of Motta Coqueiros fate and bf' those
who suffered with him, alter TIER exc
cution, are supposed to have faJsed an
uneasy feeling in the Emperbfs mind
and he has since, it is stately shown a
great Discrimination to allow sentences of
death to be carried into effectl

NapOleOn's Prophecies.

The rapid march of events during the
past year in Eastern Europe recalls to
mind the prophecy of Napoleon, that in
| fifty years Europe would be Cossack or
republican, and supplies some curious
verification. The conversations which
he held with the Englishman O'Meara,
as he paced back and forth in his re-
stricted quarters Mt st. Helena, have
been preserved by the latter and record
ed in book form. We cite few of
them, as showing how closely the great
Emperor looked into futurity. Upon
one occasion he said to O'Meara
In the course of few years Russia
will have Colstantnoplc, the greatest
part of Turkey, and all Greece. This L
hold to be as certain as if it had already
taken place. Almost all the caiolipg
and fattering which Alexander practiced
toward me was to gain my consent to
effect this object 1 would not consent,
seeing that the equilibrium of Europe
would be destroyed. In the natural
course of things, in few years Turkey
must fall to Russia. The greatest part
of her population are Greeks who, you
may say, are Russians. The powers it
would iniure, and who could oppose it,
are England, France, Prussia and
Austria. Now, as to Austria, it will be
very easy for Russia to engage her as
sistance by giving her Servia and other
provinces bordering on the Austrian
dominions, reaching near Constantine
pie. The only hypothesis upon which
England and France will ever form an
alliance with sincerity will be in order
to prevent this. But even this alliance
would not avail. France. England and
Prussia united cannot prevent it. Rus
STA and Austria can mt any time effect it.
Once mistress of Constantinople, Rus
Ella gets all the commerce of the Medit-
