The Attempt on the Life OF Napoleon
III. Planned I'm England.
New Haven News.

Upon the 14th of January, 1853,
FelIce Orsini, with some other con-
spirators attempted to assas-
sinate Napoleon III. AS
the emperor and empress
were driving through the Rue
Lepelletier in Paris three bombs were
thrown under the carriage and explod-
ed. The thoroughfare was crowded
with people. Ten were killed and:156
were wounded. A distinguished
writer, who is an Irishman and
homerule leader, says: This at
tempt at assassination was unfavora-
bly, distinguished from most other
attempts by the fact that it took nc
account of the number of innocent
lives which it imperiled." These
some of the historians fellow-eoun-
trymen had shown that their aim was
simply to imperil innocent li:es and
not to strike obnoxious rulers.
The plot which thus resulted was
formed in England. Orsini was very
popular there. He was an italian
exile, who bad come to believe that
the influence of Louis Napoleon was
the great obstacle to Italian freedom.
The conspiracy was an elaborate one,
and the liberty of English law allow
ed it full scope. The bombs were
made to order in Birmingham. The
French were very indignant. The
continental nations had long regarded
England with suspicion as the asylum
of all sorts of revolutionists, reputable
and disreputable, and as a nest of
political conspirators. And the I'M
questionable English origin of the
Orsini assassination made them feel
that England was responsible for it
A dispatch was sent to the English
government by the French, urging
some action and asking it not to 'tcon-
tinue to shelter persons who, by their
fragrant acts, put themselves outside
the pale of common rights and under
the ban of humanity" 1t was suggest
ed that of the English laws were not
strong enough for the purpose they
shall be made stronger. Rabid regi-
ments sent addresses to the emperor
asking to be permitted TO pursue the
miscreants to their stronghold, and
destroy London forever. Frenchmen
generally were frantic with wrath,
being convinced that since the EGG
lish law was incompetent to crush out !!
nascent conspiraeies tie English peo-
pie must be in favor of assassination |
by explosion, regardless of innocent |
sightseers.
In short, the attitude of France
toward England, during the latter
days of January, 1858, is exactly re-
peated in the attitude of England to-
ward the United States in these latter
daYs of January. 1855.

splendid for the kidneys, for mine were all out Of

The Speaker was Mr., Jacob Hyzer, of the
American Express Company, and his suggestion
was made in such dead earnest that the reporter
resolved to go around and see what more could
be learned about Hops and Malt Bttsrs

The Pearl Fisheries of CeyIon.


The pearl oyster fishing season
closed at Ceylon in October. The
fishery occupied twenty days, and on
account of bad weather the fishing
was very difficult. The oysters taken
off Chllaw numbered $50, 900. OF which
GA, 600 were taken to Colombo and
put up at auction, and brought $50
per 1, 900. This was decided increase
over the sale ia April, when the bids
only reached S12. so. Of the total
sum realized, one-third goes to the
divers, the remaing being the govern
ment's share, which, however, has
to pay the expenses of the fishery, of
about $4,000. The Chilaw fishing
banks alone have yielded the govern
ment net revenue during the first
year of $12, 500.

A RELIC DISCOVERED.
n Parchment Which Possesses Much
Historic Interest
Springfield Republican.

A valuable addition to New Hamp-
shire's history has just been found in
the shape of George H. s writ of privy
seal settling the old boundary dispute
between Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire. This parchment, dating
back to 1887, which has lain uudis-
turbed in an old chest in the Ports
mouth Athenaum over sixty years,
was recently found by an antiquarian
of the Bostonian society, and will be
soon put in its proper place among
the state archives.
The document is chiefly important
as making the FIRST great step toward
the severance of the two provinces of
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire as
separate provincial government. In
this latter respect 1t is more interest
ing to Granite state folks than to us of
Massachusetts, for it recalls the fact
that in the final decision in the bound
airy matter in England, despite much
wire pulling on this side of the ocean
in the early stages of the matter, New
Hampshire had been given several
hundred thousand acres more than
she had even claimed. In itself, too,
the old paper is of interest as an ex-
ample of engraver and scrivener work
on official records in those days. The
well-preserved state in which it has
remained leaves the text clear and
legible. 1t is engrossed in old English
/ the neatest manner, a marvel of
patient execution. The salutation ::
George the Second, by the Grace of
God" extends across the top in letters
an inch in diameter, except the initial
letter, G." an example of intricate
scroll work, elaborate in the extreme,
encircling fine copper-plate engrav
ing of George II. in royal robes and
decorated with the order of st, George.
The full size of the parchment is "a
by 26 inches, and every inch of sur
face not otherwise occupied has been
used by the engraver TO depict lions
rampant, birds of prey, serpents,
crowns, roses, thistles, and harp of
Ireland.

A Bright Young Man
st. Louis Republican.

George Sbott has just been sentenced
to thirtean years ia the penitentiary
at Michigan City. He was arrested
for throwing a Wabash train from
the track. The authorities were after
him for stealing holse, and the novel
idea struck him that if he could ditch
a tram it would stop long enough to
take him on and thus whirl him out
of that section of country, out of reach
of his pursuers. The plan worked
liked charm as far as the ditching
was concerned, but the tram failed to
pick itself up and leap back upon the
track with the alacrity that George
had anticipated. Fortunately no one
was seriously injured, but the bright
young man was compelled to take TO
his heels to save his neck. He was
caught two days afterward

Some speculative individual sas
promulgated a queer story about eyes,
by which one can be made to see with
out them. His theory is to place
piece of copper above the tongue and
one of zinc beneath it, and then BY
closing the eyes and letting the tips of
the pieces of metal touch each other a
of light can be detected The eyes
do not see, but the sensation OF seeing
is a vivid one. and the impression thus
transmitted to the optic nerve, and
thence to the brain, would with blind
persons, answer the same purpose as
ewes.
