GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN'S LAST WORDS. From Number Three of the New York Revolution.  The last words of George Francis Train on board the Scotia, just before it sailed on that voyage which is destined for a niche in the Temple of History, were : " God bless old Ireland ! God bless her martyrs, her noble boys I Stephen J. Meany and Capt. Warren I will see. Lord Derby dare not refuse me. There is a great destiny in store for me—l feel it. This voyage will be historical. Every noble God-given thought nerves my very soul for America and American rights. Earope, her rights and nothing more. America, her rights and nothing less. I shall be President of the United States—the People's President. I shall pin the Derby government to the ground, and time-serving Seward to the American flag, before I am forty-eight hours on Britieh soil. Johnson may talk, Seward may drivel in long-winded despatches, and Adams may dine I and wine away American rights with noble lords, but 'George Francis Train will act.' One native-born American citizen, at least'while I live, will be as true to American liberty as our Irish American citlzens— no J,lanson talking, no Seward writing, no Adam.; toadying away our American birthright or 4 liberty and equality for all men and all women, wherever our flag floats.' My instinct tells me my destiny is to settle the rights of American citizens abroad. the Alabama claims, Ireland for the Irish, and the rights of woinen—Arnerican women first —God bless them Within forty-eight hours after I land on British soil, all Europe and Ameica will ring with America's rights and George Francis Train. It the Derby government touch America iii my body, they will want to drop it mighty quickly.. Young America's day has come. I represent youag America, Irish Amercan citzens, and American women that ought to be citiz-ns. The star of Britain hae set, and America's is rising. De-riny ! of course I believe in destiny. Did not. Napoleon, uncle and nephew, believe in destiny ? Did not every Man who has stamped his own image on lying generations of humanity bel,eve i destiny? Was not Napoleon and his tame eagle and Boulogne iotpelition laughed at and jeered at as a,fiasco by all Europe? Was it a fiascos' Did it not revive the slumbering Napoleonicfires in the bosom of France? Did it not drive the citizen king from his throne ? A fiasco? Ask the vote of all France for the Napoleon of the tame eagle, the prisoner of Ham, as president of the republic. A fiasco? Ask the imperial purple of a France more powerful, mire proeperous than the first Empire. kfirtsco ? Ask the parvenu Emperor and his parvenu Empress, more feared among the kings and emperors by the grace of G id, my good cousins, more, far more, than his uncle ever was. No ! destiny has controlled my every action from my youth upwards —destiny made me neither drink, lie, cheat, steal, nor I deceive a woman—destiny made me create the Atlantic and Great Western Railroads. the Pacific Railroad, the Credit Mobilier, the Credit Foncier, my Omaha and Columbus gold mines, my 9.000 votes for women in Kansas, my sixty speeches to crowded audiences in the last three months, my forty unanina ius nominations for President in people's convensions, this trip to Europe —only thought of, as you know, three days ago—are all destiny. I ohey its call. By the help of the water cure, Kuczkowski, and my vital energy from nature, I will fulfil my destiny. Allah Karim! Good bye—be true to &merles and liberty of thought and expression —no marring of God's diviue image in the soul of humani v. Again, god bye, old fellow ; stick to cold water, Kucz;owiski, and 44, Bond-street—the birls are flying, It IS time in elieet—tiMes are eipuhig for cool heads, steady hands, hard muscle, pluck, and the Rovolutioa, with Miss Anthony's Amble band of American women. The bell is tinging; be off. Allah II Allah I Allah Belot !"  A grip of the hand, like that of a young bear, and we jumped into the stearn-tug. The last we saw of George Francis Train was surrounded by a group of listeners on the deck of the Scotia. He is certainly no ordinary man, and of a spotless purity in his personal character, —sans peur et sans reprocke—rare indeed in this world  A prlsoner in Taunton gaol. whose term of imprisonment expires in a short time, has just been left a legacy of £16,000.  The intention of consecrating Mr Macrorie in Se Aland has been finally abandoned, and the rite will be performed in South Africa.  Mr Lowe has accepted an invitation, signed by 210 graduates, to become a candidate for the Parliamentary representation of London University. During the past year fifteen children between eleven and fourteen years of age committed suicide in Vienna.  Out of the 600,000,000 letters posted per annum, only 3,0011,000 fail to be delivered ; in other words, not more than one in 200 letters fail, or i per cent.
