Tho Prince ImperAal.
W. W. NevIn's letter to the Philada.

W. W. Nevln's letter 70 00 fnuaoss <Tesss
/ cannot close this letter without not
ing the profound sensation made here
by the death of the yung Prince Imperial
in Zululand. The news has produced .
far deeper impression than anything
done or threatened to be done either in
the French Chamber or the Italian Par
Lament. 1t comes with the sense Of .
political event, and has q meaning for
Europe greater than the work of legis-
latures, which shows, too, how far
Europe is off from a republic. OF course
there is the sincerest sorrow for the
dramatic taking away of the young boy,
who died q brave soldiers death, who
had gone into this dangerous service to
fit himself to ascend his fathers throne
and win the good will of world, aDds
there is the deepest sympathy for his
mother, whose royal misfortunes DOW ro-
ceive their crown and send her down to
history with the sof.ening halo Of sorrow
forever around her tragic story but back
of all this there is the sense Of the pOlit-
ical event. a"s.sl
This seeming accident has wiped out
centuries of possible history in Europe,
and Republican Europe, at all events,
breathes freer. The Napoleon dynasty
was a standing threat to Republicanism
iD France and in Italy, for the Corsican
| family looked on both these lands as their
domain. The young Prince was brave,
honorable, educated. He was fitted to
win personal support, and was backed BY
wise counsel. He was too ambitious,
and had proved himself to be endowed
with the military instincts and some Of
the military abilities of his great ances-
tor. He was fitted to be all his life fha
focus around which the Imperial forces
Vr ,uvicty could centre. H..
The liberal governments here do not
conceal their satisfaction Il write this
paragraph from Venice), and some Of
their leaders, on the day of the reception
of the news, although able, were to
minds not Latin brutal in their hot haste
of expression and their unconcealed graf
ification in an hour when the wires wers
yet quivering with the fatal news. .
Perhaps, however, the people need just
the rude awakening which these journ-
ais give them. There is something in
''the death of kings" which always
touches the popular sympathies even in
the most unreasoning ways. The en-
pire is reactionary-let us hope lost
force in European politics. It's restora-
tion would only be temporary, the at
tempt bloody, its destruction bloody
again. This seemingly chance cast OF
the Zulu assegai is in reality a deep
broad, kind Providence. The brave and
able young Pretender falls with all th<
generous wishes that attend q heroic
death, and in his disappearance history
closes page of blood, and thousands 81
thousands of lives ara saved, and MIL
lions of homes spared to all Italy and
France. w. w, N.

MAN HOLDS THE ANIMAL TILL IT 10
SHOT By HIS WIFE. OIL.
From the Little Rock, (Ark.) Gaz. July 9.
Near Gold Crek, Faulkner county,
and about seven miles from the railroad,
lives q man named Rhea, farmer on
small scale. Last Monday evning,
while Rhea and his wife were sitting In
front of their door, two dogs jumped over
the fence and ran under the house. At
first very little notice was taken of the
animals, there being several fox hunters
In the neighborl1OOd, and the Rhea sup
posed that the dogs belonged to them,
but presently teri lfic bowling and fight
| ing began, insomuch that Rhea threw
chips and pieces of wood under the house.
The bowling and fighting continued for
some time, when at last one Of the dogs
darted our, leaped the fence, and raC
away. The other dog, large brindle, ,'of
decidedly ugly type, followed as far as
the fence but stopped, turned around,
and started toward Rhea with mouth
half open. Rhea stopped and picked up
an old churn dasher lying on a stump,
and as the dog sprang at him struck the
beas. over the head. Stunned, the ami
Mal recoiled, but only for moment, for
he sprangagain before Rhea had time to
prepare himself. Graphing the dog by
the throat, aud holding his mouth a.
far away as possible, desperate struggle
began. The dogs eyes glared aud hi
mouth emitted that froth only known to
hydrophobia. Mrs. Rhea r into thu
house and soon returned with case
knife, which she handed to her husband
Then the "combat deepened." The
blunt-pointed and dull.edeed weapoI
went against the animals throa
without drawing blood or lessening hi
fury. The strong grasp Of the man KEEP
his teeth away, but such grip coult
not last long. Again the woman enter
ed the house and this time returned will
shotgun. Cooking 1t and rushing. up t.
the dog, she placed the muzzle close Il
the animals flanks and fired. Their
was a sudden give way, and seemingl
additional glare Of the eyes, but n
sound. Taking advantage Of the frs
shot, the gun was again fired, and th
animal fell over dead. Reports of mac
do?s come from all over the country, an,
every one should be on the lookout.

A Close Shave.

At Linwood, Pa, few days ago, dur,
ing the prevalence of q thunder storm.
the lightning played a singular freak. A
little child was out driving goose that
had strayed away, when she was CAUGHT
in the shower. Before reaching her
home the lightning struck the goose.
which was not more than three feet in
front Of the child, and killed it instantly.
while, strange to say, the child was un-,
injured, not even stunned by the light
ming. It was decidedly narrow escape
for the little one. ~ bl9f f.e =

got 81 K dollars, and another member got
forty, he would not have voted for Butter

Gen. Brown offered the following: =
ResOLUed, That as the committee is direct
ed to inquire into the mode, effect and
execution of the supervisor law in 1878, it
is the duty of the committee to investigate
the proceeding congressional election, with
a view of comparison as to peace, quiet
and fairness both, that the house may de-
termine whether said law tends to secure
free and honest election.
Mr.. KeDna offered the following: Re
S0lUed, That it is the opinion of the coDl-
mittee' that the powers of the committee,
and the scope of the investigation are pre-
scribed by the resolution of the appoint
ment, and therefore the committee has nc
power to investigate the previous election.
These resolutions will be voted on this
