Two Historical Incidents.

Whether from a medical or political
point of view, few historical crimes have
better merited attention than the first
attempt upon the life Of William the
Silent, founder of the Dutch republic.
A pistol shot, fired by a half.crazed
Spaniard named John Jaureguy, trav-
ersed Prince Williams face and throat,
causing an effusion OF blood which
seemed to make his death absolutely
certain. No regular surgical appliances
being at hand, two OF his friends re-
lieved each other for several hours in
keeping their thumbs pressed upon the
wounded artery till help could be OBJ
tanned, and this simple device actually
saved the princes life for the time be-
ing. More akin to President Garfleld's
case in the universal interest which il
excited, although widely different in
other respects, was the murder, rs IL is
now held to have been, of Count Mira
bean, the famous popular champion OF
the earliest days of. the French Hevolu-
tion. The moment his illness was
noised abroad the people closed the
street against carriages with their own
hands, shut the theaters and roughly
handled more than one party of ball
goers. Thousands upon thousands
iostled each other round The bulletins,
and Mirabeau's doctors we're literally
crowded off their feet whenever they
appeared. "All France" it was en-
phatically said, attended the funeral;' y
and tho zeal OF some admirers went fur
ther still. "A fine day, my FRIEND"
said man TO the hackman who drove
him, "Too bad that IL should be, !"
growled the fellow, "when Mirabeau's
dead"
