Struck Dead.


One Vt the most terrible instances of
a scofer struck down in the moment of
his blasphemy was revealed before Mr..
Carter at the Rose and Crown Tavern,
East-street, Lambeth Walk, recently
The deceased was an engineer named
Thomas Hudson, aged sixty-seven, who
resided at "A Saunders-street, Lambeth,
and had been employed at Messrs
Maudslay's for twenty-five years. He
returned home at a quarter-past five
O'Clock on Thursday evening, and asked
his daughter-in-law to get him an egg
from the fowLhouse. On proceeding
into the yard he became excited, and,
after using frightful oath in reference
to his death, he ran into the parlor,
vomited blood, and fell dead in the
arms of female who had been nursing
his daughter. Mrs. Fall stated the
deceased did not say "God strike me
dead" but he used words of similar
character. The jury found a verdict
of "Death from excitement" and the
coroner's experience enabled him to
narrate a parallel case. A number of
persons had assembled in q tavern at
PutnsH when man charged another
with taking from him twopence.s The
man, after being accused, said, May
God strike me dead if / did it," and he
Immediately after fell dead. On being
picked up, the missing twopence was
found firmly clutched in the deceased g
right hand. He would strongly advise
men against taking such wicked oaths.

decided according to the object sought
after. If size and utility are desired,
with no regard to permanent type,
crossing everv year with distinct fresh
blood will give progeny as rule superior
TO either parent stock but these hybrids
can not be depended upon to produce
Others with the same merits. On the
other hand, if it is desired to establish a
strain of thoroughbreds, which may be
relied on to breed true, then the most
iudicious influx of fresh blood every
second year is necessary. But here,
while near relationship should be care
fully avoided, it is equally important to
use birds of not too remote connection
with the dominant strain, in order to
preserve the preponderance of the breed
sought after. Scientific breeders usually
prefer hens for this purpose, as it has
been ascertained that the male bird has
the most influence upon the color of the
progeny, and what may be called the
fancy points," while the form, size
and useful qualities are principally de-
rived from the hen Hence, if the object
is to preserve a specific type, there is
less risk in using hen, as the progeny,
if not satisfactory, may be killed; while
if the cross be with a male from new
blood, and the young prove undesirable,
the whole season work is lost. When
a strain has been fully established, it is
a good plan to put a promising cockerel
in an adjoining yard, and bring him
back in a year or two, when the relation
ship will be remote enough to infuse
vitality without deranging the type.

Death of the Prince Imperial.


A telegram from South Africa reports
the killing of the son of Louis Napoleon,
called the Prince Imperial, by the
Zulus. The Prince who had received
military education, went to the Zulu
country as a volunteer, after the massa-
ere at Isandula. He first applied for
commission, but this being unsuccessful,
he went out as volunteer. The
natural inference was that his object
was to see active service, to acquire ex-
perience in the field of war, and to gain
whatever of favor this would give him
with the French people.
If this report shall prove true-and it
is straight in appearance-his death
will be the end of great political designs
figure, to overthrow the republic; for no
Bonaparte is left who has any prestige
or popularity, or who is near enough of
kin to have any hereditary pretensiens
to the throne which the people will
recognize. If the Prince is dead, a
standing danger to the republic of
France is removed. If he is dead, the
last hope of the late Empress Eugene
is blasted.
The wits of the world, who ridiculed
the Emperor Napoleon's foolish letter
made foolish by publication-relating
the youthful Louis's baptism of fire and
his bravery in the first battle of the
Prussian invasion of France, ridiculed
also his going to fight the Zulus; but
the Prince volunteered in this most dan
gerous service, in deadly climate.
This was serious business, and it was
enough to establish his character for
courage and gallantry. This death is
a heavy blow to the Bonapar fists, and
a crushing one to his mother. The
Prince was about twenty-three years
old. +...- - g.

Bedstead Superstition in Germany.

London Notes and Queries, with some

surprised when it was brought home to
find that the ornamentation of one side

opposite side, it being, in fact quite plain.

ton to the maker, saying that when a
bedstead wasplaced with its head against
the wall of a room, the sides, then show

mented, and the other plain. At this
the maker expressed his surprise that 1
should be ignorant of German custom
and prejudice; for" says he, Gin Ger
many bedsteads are only placed side
wise against wall or partition; and
only removed from this position, and
placed with the head against the wall,
to receive s. dead body" And the
worthy maker assured me that nowhere
in Germany could native be induced
to sleep on single bedstead which had
not its side placed against wall or par

hold against placing two single bedsteads
