Austin, was concluded to-day. Thompson,
n coupie of weeks ago, killed Jack Harris,

Ter. in this city. The evidence was very
strong against him and the case being sub
mitted without argument, Judge Noonan
Immediately remanded Thompson TO
prison without bail, This was great sur

has been prevalent there, called malarial
fever proves to be yellow fever OF the most
v;rulent type. II is rapidly spreading and
black vomit succeeds death. A number or
deaths have occurred during the last tour
DAYS and the disease is regarded as an cpl
denic. Colonel Solo, of the Mexican reeSu-
lar army, lost his vile and daughter
and is now dying himself. Brownsville
Texas, and MaIamoras have been qualan'
tined against by all lower Rio Grande
towns, and great excitement and conster-
nation exist throughout the states of
Tamaulipas and Nenvo Leon. The news
had already been received here yesterday,
was then disbelieved, but steps will be
taken at once to quarantine against the
coast cities, as ships have been
plying between Matamofas and other
gulf coast towns without restraint.
Some wears ago yellow fever visited Mata-
moras which is located right at the mouth
of the Rio Grande, and the people died al
most without any medical aid, The case
as it now is excites the people of the coun-
try and it requires the strictest scrutiny.
Preventive measures will be at once in

The Cinderella of Hesse.

The old Princess of Hanau, who has
just died at Prague, in Bohemia, was o
remarkable woman, who made con-
siderable stir in her earlier life. She
was the widow of the last kurfurst or
Prince Elector of Hesse. 1t was through
her grasping ambition, ard her equally
resolute grasping after wealth, that the
ruler became involved in quarrels with
his Ministers and people. The Princess
was a sort of Griselda or Cinderella,
without the romantic tenderness of
those heroines of legend. She was the
daughter of a wine dealer at Bonn, on
the Rhine. Lieutenant Lehman, q
young Prussian officer, fell in love with
her; they were married, and had several
children. The future Elector, then the
Crown Prince of Hesse, was fascinated
By her, and is said to have bought her
from her husband for the sum of 10000
thalers. After legal divorce had been
effected she married the Prince. Evil
tongues said at the time that the Prince
was not moved solely by love to Frau
Lehman, but by a desire to spite the
reigning Elector and vex the Countess
Reichenback, to whom he was betroth-
ed.
The wine dealers daughter ruled her
princely husband to his hurt. She at
tanned the second object of her ambi-
ton, as well as the first, and became
enormously rich. She is said to have
left property amounting to nearly a.,
600, 900 marks, which, however, has to
be divided among half dozen children.
Her late husband, after ali his subjects
had deposed him. magniicently absolved
them from their oath of allegiance,
and the old German Sovereign State of
Electoral Hesse was incorporated with
the Prussian Monarchy. The Elector,
by his pacific acceptance of the situa-
ton, secured the immense property
which he carried into Bohemia from his
fateful place at Wilhelmshohe. where,
four years later, in the same month of
September, Napoleon LII. was lodged
as the prisoner of the Prussian King
London Echo.
