saw the white-haired, feeble father-in-law
Of one of the Senator Bonanza Kings this
morning. The father-in-law himself had for
merly been a Senator Of the United States, a
Governor Of a State and a member OF the Con-
federate Congress. He Is now a very old man,
boarding at a cheap house for SIS per month,
wearing a dreadfully seedy black coat, and
pantaloons all frayed at the bottom, but still
retaining, in his air and manners, q reminis-
cence OF the dignity Of his lost estate.
He was a man of unbounded vanity and
great physical courage. He fought two duels
with pistols with the late Sargent 8. Prentiss.
Just before the bembardment commenced,
a tree at a safe distance to his right to see the
fun. He called out to them: "Get down, lit
tie boys; Foote might hit you" This con-
tempt OF the craftsmanship Of his antagonist
was deemed sufficient cause for another chal-
lenge and Mr.. Prentiss had to meet Mr..
Foote again, when, l believe he wounded
him in the foot.

Jean Joseph Louis Eugene Napoleon Bona
parte commonly called the Prince Imperial,
recently sued the Steele newspaper in one Of
the Paris courts for libel on his father, and
gained his suit. 1t is case that puts In clear
light the spirit OF French justice, and espe
clally its refusal to take any cOgnizance Of
persons in a sense that would deny justice to
one or another on account of his history. 1t
was published In the Steele that one OF the COM
mittees OF the assembly WAS believed to have
discovered that Napoleon LII had illegally dis
posed OF twenty-six thousand hectares of pub
lc lands 1t was shown in court that no
SUCH discovery had been made; and in fact,
that the money believed to have been
acquired by, such an improper sale had
come regularly from the sale of confiscated
property, and consequently the son of the
Emperor sued for libel on his father. MANY
piquant things were said In the arguments.
among others that II the Emperor had not
stolen the particular $4,000 hectares referred
to, he had stolen something else and had been
the cause Of the robbery Of France OF two
provinces. But to all this, and to the arrn-
ment that the law did not give the son the
right to sue for q libel on his father. the court
responded with judgment In favor of the
Prince while to the politico-historical argu-
ments the court said that defamation could
not be justified by the misfortunes of the per-
son DETAINED" How hard is the way Of the
libeler in France lmay be judged from the fact
that people there are not permitted even to
libel dead Emperor.

London Correspondence N. Y. Herald
1t cannot be disputed that there Is much
distress In England at present, not only
among the laboring classes, but among shop
keepers, artisans and clerks, who have hither-
to made comfortable living. Mr.. Mundella
said In Parliament the other day that never
since 1847 had there been such widespread de-
preston In all English industries, and he at
tributed much OF it to the political policy of
the government. He made some allowance
for the economic causes, but thought they had
been greatly aggravated by political causes,
and until the mental anxiety was removed
the disease in the industrial body could not
be cured. Mr.. MuDdeila sees through liberal
glasses, but II he will study the matter little
closely he will find that foreign competition
is too strong for English manufactures to re-
cover their former pre-eminence in the mar
kets of the world. Nothing ever happened to
America that will more rebound to her ulti-
mate commercial advantage than the hard
times" OF which she has so long been COM
omy In a harsh school, but her future opens
bright before her, while England's hardships
and trials are yet to come, slowly and surely,
with the gradual loss of her Industries and
her incapacity to support her surplus popu-
lation.
We hear that the cotton operatives Of Man.
chester, to the number OF $4,000, are propos-
ing to come to London like starving mob,
with the intention OF overawing the govern
ment and to effect the abolition OF duties on
the importation OF cotton into India. The
Manchester Guardian talks OF this proposed
raid as fact, but some OF the London Minis
terial organs think 1t Is only liberal STRATA
gem. 1t Is said that fund OF G50O0 has been
raised to pay the railway fares Of this army
OF starving operatives. The Standard does
not ignore the distress so generally prevalent,
although it is a Beaconsfield journal, but
devotes three columns In it's paper Of the
eighteenth to particulars Of the suffering In
different parts of the country.
The bank failures have had much to do
with the stagnation In trade; but 1t is hoped
that the new year will see gradual improve
ment. We shall see. cannot think, however,
that there will be much change for the better
In country dependent on its manufactures
for prosperity, so long as other nations are
so much more frugal, temperate and indus
trious, and able to produce better goods at
cheaper prices

DO MONKEYS SWIM E?

A correspondent of Land and Water,
in reply to the question whether mon
keys swim, says: 81 was always under
the impression that they did not like
wetting their fur or hair, but at Sangur,
Central India, when I was stationed
there, had little monkey that was ex-
eeedingly fond of swimming and diving.
One day, on taking him to the pond at
the bottom of my compound, he jumped
off my shoulder and diyed 0ike NAM
into the water, which was three or four
feet deep; he had his chain on at the
time, and when he dived in the chain
caught in some grass or root at the
bottom and kept the monkey down; he
was Just able to come to the top of the
water. Feeling his chain had caught he
diyed down, urdid the chain, and con-
tnued the swim with the chain in his
hand. He swan just like man as far
as [ could see from the motion Of bis
arms. Several of my brother officers
came to see him swimming, of which he
was very fond, swimming very quietiy,
and elnningly trying to catch the frogs
that lay floating on tue top of the water. -

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMNER.

On the romantic shore Of Lake Iucerne.
Beneath my window are some garden walks.
Whore now the autumual frcsts the foliage
burn
And hardy dahias blaeken on their stalks;
Bat, Eiany-leaTed and fresh and fragrant, blows
One solitary fiower-a perfect Rose.
This, fun of crimson life as If it had
No thought OF death, I've watched, day after
day,
While deep in SHOWS the Rigi kuhn was clad,
And deep the SHOWS in clefts of Pilate lay
Grim mount! above the clouds whose sharp
drawn peaks
Have long presaged the storm and now 1t
breaks.
Like ships at sea, st. Gothaf5's SUBMITS strain
And toward Tells chapel ali the storied scene
Is dashed with slanted strcaks of misty rain;
There's not spot Of color or of sheen
IN the dun landscape save that lonely Rose
Leaden the sky, and gray t..ie very SHOWS!
With all of bushes and all fragrance rife,
Loves fragile banner to the gale unfured,
Boom bravely on. Yea. live thy little life,
o Rose! ! would not pluck thee for the world,
'Twere sentimental folly that would she'd
Thy sentient leaves TO strew yon sodden bed.
II am the type Of the true poets thought
| am the type of the true lovers heart
These words, in melody of perfumes wrought,
Like notes of music did the flower impart-
"In gray-haired age my youth is fresh; bloom
Up to the ice and blacIIness of the tomb.
''Thou in flesh, and in my petals ],
Are shadows; but Soul is thine and mine.
| am a Vision. and Prophecy!
And that which makes the poets thought divine,
Aud love a subtler revelation still.
Is far more real than you roca-ribbed hill.
"A few short days, or hours and am gone.
But, lingering here, last of happy race,
into my bosom all thou lookest on
gather up-but clothed in summers grace;
And I shall hang forever in thy mind,
4 mystic Rose, Immortality refined.
Yea, these my perfumes shed shall hit thy
sense
With spiritual power when am dust.
Perchance the last survivor, aeons hence,
OF men shall be Poet, and his trnst,
The perfect flower of Manhood shall resign,
As the perfect Rose. to Love divine"

PULMONARY CONSUMPTION.

The inutility of ordinary medicines, in
this fatal disease, is an undeniable fact
Pulmonary Consumption being primari-
ly and essentially due to assimilation and
disordered nutrition, can be nationally
attacked only by medicine which re-
novates the nutritive powers. Such a
medicine is the PERUVIAN SYRUP, whose
chief ingredients acts directly and i'm
mediately on the blood, and arrests the
disease safely and surely wherever relief
is possible.

scription, though eyideauy disguised,
had come down TO Norwich by the Lon
adon coach. 4 blacksmith, whose forge
l.was about half mile from Dr. Hunston's s
residence, saw a young man pass his
place about 9 o'clock in the evening
On the blacksmith and the driver of the
Norwich coach comparing notes, no
doubt was left that the man who come
down from London and the man seen by
the blacksmith were identical. Then
there was the wounded hand. When it
came to be question Of Importance,
funston refused to say how ho injured
his hand. Ii was clear however, that
on opening The sash-from which he
had probably removed the catch month
before when meditating the crime-he
tplaced his right hand on the sill. The
/ sash fell, and hence the injured hand.
IL spite of his frightful wound, however
he went on with the bloody work. No
doubt=he tied up the hand and then
worked with the left. This cleared up
the difficulty, and accounted for the left
hand being used to cut the throat and
open the lock, and also for the Impress
ion Of the left hand only in the soil out
side the window. The voice Of young
Hunston had probably pacifed the dog
before tho window fell. He and the
dog had been playmates for years, and
the dog was not given to suspect wrong
when his old friend was about. To COM
plete the chain of circumstantiaI evidence
some OF the missing jewelrY was found
in possession of man to whom young
Hunston sold it.
Hunston swore positively that his
father gave him the jewelry on his last
visit home, but Terwhit swore with equal
clearness that he saw it in the doctors
hands the very day before the murder,
when he was searching his desk for a
fruit-knife.
Hunston was convicted of The murder,
and hanged at Norwich.

MURDER.

ST. Louis, August, IA cold blood
ed most attrocious double murder was
| committed here tonight Thaddeus E.
Baber, plumber who Keeps small
shop at the corner of Sixth and Poplar
streets, and who lives with a family con-
sisting of 4 wife, little boy 7 years old.
| and his wife's mother, an old German
woman named Schandler, at 815 South
Fourth street, quarre!ed with his wife
four or five days ago, and left home.
About halfpast seven o'clock tonight
he returned stepped into the house, and
,shile his mother-in-law sat reading and
his wife was lying on the bed IN the
same room, fred bullet into Mrs.
Schandler's brain, killing her almost in
stantly, and shot his wife through the
left breast, inflicting o mortal wound.
He then left the hause, but was arrested
few minutes later and was locked up.
Aside from the fact that Mrs. Baber is
very weak from the effect of the injury
| received, she was extremely reticent, and
would give no particulars OF the affair,
or tell what the quarrel between her and
her husband was about. She was sent
to the hospital. Baber has made state
ment since his arrest, to the effect that
he formerly lived in Richmond, Va; that
the young woman he shot tonight was
not his wife, bat he has lived with her
| as such off and on for several years; that
he wished to marry her, but the old
woman, her mother, would not consent:
that the old woman forced her daughter
| to prostitute herself for money as q
source of revenue; and that she was
vicious and vile; that when he left the
house q few days ago, it was in conse-
quence Of quarrel with Mrs. Schandler,
about her daughter, he wishing to marry
the latter, but the old woman refused to
give her conse:.t: that he went to the
house tonight under the impression, and
believing, man was there with the
| daughter, and if so, be wanted to know
| it; that when he entered the room in
which the women were, Mrs. Schandler
| drew a pistol an him and he shot her;
| that he did not intend to shoot the
! daughter, but after the first shot was
fred, be heard a noise in an adjoining
room, the door Of which opened, and
thinking he saw man raised his pistol
| hastily to defend himself. when it was
discharged unintentionaily, tie ball strik-
ing the young woman in the breast, as
above stated. He regrets this part of
the affair very much, but rather glories
in the killing of the old woman, and
says he is willing to hang for it. The
child mentioned above is now said not to
belong to Baber or the young woman.

Captain Eads, with his pocket full of
cash and the glory which he thinks at
taches to his name in consequence of the
comparative success Of the jetty system
at the mouth of the Mississippi, has pro-
posed plan for ship railroad across
the isthmus of Darien. He thinks that
canal would be too expensive. He,
therefore, suggests plan by which a
ship with full cargo can be transferred
from one ocean to the other. As we
understand he proposes to float the ship
in either stone or q wooden basin, and
transfer the ship and the basin on iron
rails from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

worthy of the novelty of American gen.
