IIOXIE AND FARM NOTES. Don't let the grass ripen before it is cut for hay. The farmers should always cave something on hand for tbe market, and never have the proceeds of a crop used up betöre the crop is sold. A smooth and clean lawn around the house will make any place charming. But pigs and poultry will quickly destroy all that is attractive in the house yard. It is a pitiful mistake to denouuce any trade or profession necessary to society. Never entertain prejudice against any man because of bis profession. Let every man stand on his own merits as a man. Speaking of the improvement ox seed Charles D. Bragdon says be has known farmers who have sown the same variety of wheat for 20 years, "and who sell mort of their crop for seed to their neighbors. rhy have not purchased seed either, but by careful selection and culture they have kept improving their crop." This, he thinks, is the kind of "selection" to be generally advised, A writer in an agricultural paper says that mustard, sown in the potato patch, will certainly keep the potato bugs out. Another claims that buckwheat will do the same thin.?. But the best and most practical method of combating these pests is to make a solution of Paris green, say one-balf ouuce to eallon of water, and sprinkle the vines. Here is a truth which is very important to study: Many young people think than an idle life is a very pleasant one. But this is sad mistake, as they would soon find out if the made a trial of the life they think so agreeable. One who Is never busy can never enjoy rest; for rest implies a relief from previous labor; and if our whole time were spent in amusing ourselves, we should find it more wearisome than the hardest day's work. Recreation is only valuable as it unbends us; the idle can know nothing of it. T!pFnT vor Corns attd Bunion

Squeeze out the juice of two good lemons; put it in a bottle, add one dozen small pearl buttons old ones will do as well as new; shake the bottle well a few times until the buttons are dissolved, when it is ready for use. Apply with the finger to the corn or bunion twice a day until a cure is effected. I have never known it to fail of accomplishing the desired result. It is very penetrating. Keep closely corked. Reducing) Bosks. Mr. Totter Warren, of New Hampshire, at a recent agricultural convention, gave the following easy and cheap method of reducing bones. I f the farmer will set aside a cask, in some convenient place lor the reception of bonos, and throw all that are found on the farm into it, he will be likely to find a collection at the end of the vear that will prove a valuable adjunct to his manure heap : Place them in a lare kettle mixed with ashes and about rma ta.-w- of lime to the barrel of bones. Cover with water and boil. In twenty-four hours all the bones, with the exception, perhaps ot the hard shin-bones.will become so much softened as to be easily pulverized by hand. Thev will not be in particles of bne, Hut. in a. natv condition, and in excellent fwi-m t. mix with muck, loam or ashes. By boiling the shin-bones ten or twelve hours longer, they win aiso uwumo un. A CRUEL PARENT. Tnvv AT FIRST 8IO3T MARRIED IX HASTE :r HKPEXTISO AT LEISURE A ISRIDK SCES FOR POSSESSION OF IIER HCSBASD. The Brooklyn Eagle gives an account of a novel case of matrimonial infelicity: The rnrwt. nnvAl rase in Brooklvn is that of a aaavsv - woman suing her father-in-law for her hus band. The latter resists the suit on the eround that the wife previous to her mar riage was, ho alleges, a degraded woman This the wife denies in a narrative of her marriage, adding, very properly, that it her husband does not want her she wants a divorce and alitnouy. It seems the parties met t . m A, 4 s. t y 1. on a Fulton ierry Doaw chs 01 uve ai first sight ensued; and the young man was in haste to marry, .ine iauy consemea in a few davs. and the pair were married at the Methodist Episcopal church on Claremont avenue, the officiating clergyman being the Rev. Mr. Davis They then went on a weddinetourto Washington, on their return from that tour the bridegroom went to see bis father, to win him over to consent to the marriage already made. The father in lieu or this keeps the young man at home, and. in explanation of this, states he was not sober, and that the whole transaction. GREW OUT OF A SPREE. Spree or no spree, the pair are married, and the young man.it appears, is of age. The marriage itself condones all offenses against morality, of which the bride may have been euiltv in single life, supposing her to have Been euiltv. as her father-in-law alleges It is a clear ca9 of marry in baste to repent at leisure. It is but another cousequence of the lightness of consideration now attached to marriage, on which euch freouent stress has been laid in these columns, The mere fact that the young husband could be kept by anybody from the wife he had so hastily married shows how little of true affection he must have felt for her. and what imperfect notions he entertained of the duties he was assuming, There is, however, one aspect of this case which is not suggestive or purely tbeoretic speculations about the decadence of respect lor th9 marriage tie. it is oasea upon tne father's assertion that this whole affair was the meie result of a spree. Admit this, sim rlv as a hypothesis, and where stands the minister who performed the ceremony'JIt is very evident mat a careiui ciergvman would not, himself being sober, marry!a drunken pair. It does seem. too. as if. to fore marrying any pair, a clergyman might, with no superfluity of care, demand to knew who they were, and would try to ascertain whether the applicants for bis hymeneal services were both possessed 01 a per feci understanding of . the responsibilities thev were assuming, and whether they were . .-' ... . . , actlnirwitn tne Knowledge oi inose notfvl with them in blood or legal relation Tt la rxrt. ot. all mount hrv thin insinuate i. ui.hln rlersryman who this mrtienlar coPla neglected his duty in any way, but to point out ti easy is not at all likelv to I-"1 to marriage made happy, xr. im tins hasty way of coupling a man 1 woman for life any the less reprehensible in the marriages made by mavoral or magisterial act. People ee married as flippantly as they sign a mort cace or a deed of transfer, seeming to attach to the one act no greater sense of Kanctitv than thev would to the other. The couple whose error in this matter has oeca sioned these remarks are undoubtedly mar ried. And with the prevailing view of the lightness of the marriage tie now enter tained, the question arises naturally, should not a contract so easily made be prevented bvAssier cancellation, from running the risk of keeping uncongenial people together for life at the expense of the happiness of both? In the DAYS OF OUR FATHERS, when the marriage of a son or daughter was a matter of solemn family counsel, when the settlement of the pair in their future life entered into the calculations ot their re pective families for years, when the weight

of family approval added to the deliberation of the contract, when the solemnities of religion were brought into pUy to give imEreäsivencss to the usual promisos, the reach of contract by either party was a very different affair. Then the man took the woman for better or for worse, with all the probabilities of the consequences of his act known to him and his; and it was right, it was necessary, that the breach of contract so made should beany thing but easy ot attainment, or reputable in the execution. It is of nonse to keep up the silly preteos that marriage is with us now what itnas been in the past. It has come, whether fcr good or evil, to ba of light formation, and should, it would seem, be susceptible of equivalent easy undoing, in order that the lives of two people be not sacrificed to a hasty yielding to a passing whim or impulse. Carriage should either resume the requirements that attended it ot old, or else the evils that have attended it by the diminution of these requirements should be provided with easier remedy. m SCIENTIFIC CRIME.

STEAM BURGLARY. A KEW TORK BANK ATTACKED BY STEAM POWER INTERRUPTION AND CAPTURE OF THE BURGLARS. The New York Herald gives an account of a recent remarkable attempt to rob a bank by means of steam power: The metropolis was yesterday startled by a genuine attempt at bank burglary after the most scientific and approved methods. An adjoining house to the New York county bank ouilding, on Eighth avenue, had been taken by the burglars, and from it they had begun their mine into the vaults when they were discovered. Three were captured, but the principal criminal escaped. It has for several years been regarded as a settled fact that the corner of Eighth avenue and Fourteen sireet was not a profitable site for an oyster house. So strongly impressed with this idea have the business men in that neighborhood become that they not only de clines to compete with toe chop house already opened in the vicinity, but began to adopt the strictly cash system in an tneir dealing wiih their fellow tradesmen who were un fortunate enough to De locateu mere. The steaks could not be paid for, the butch ers reasoned, and the house pay expenses. The venders of chinaware and cooking utensils evidently formed much the same dea. for all former proprietors of tne saiu establishment have been stricken from their credit rolls. The surprise of the avenne may be imagined, therefore, when in the atter Dart of TLarcn an enterprising gentle man, giving his name as Gilmore, leased the premises at No. 83 Eighth avenue, and opened the house in a style which made old habitues or tne corner marvel, uumore was an exceedingly affable man. lie was pre-eminently qualified to reply to ad vertisements from property owners for "genteel parties'! who would be willing to lecorae tenants. II became popular at once, and Mr. Arthur, who owned the premises, was perfectly willing to close the contract tor $7.000; 3,000 were paid in cash by tne genial Gilmore, and a mortgage for the remain ing ?4,000 was given. It did not sinke "the qtjaxdum proprietor" as at all remarkable mat uumore .agreed to the foreclosure of the mortgage on the 1st of August if the balance was not paid. It might have occurred to some business men that this was not a case of remarkable confidence in human ability. Doubtless this willingness to stand or fall in the noble ! effort to establish a chop house was ascribed to Gilmore's generosity. Then, remarkable to relate, Gilmore had the faculty of paying his bills promptlv. The butchers, tinand china ware men and others begau to frater nize with the agreeable proprietor. M r. CJ ilmore was an enterprising man. He took ä great step torward by renting the building; n the rear of his own, wnicn opened on I Fourteenth street, just below the corner of Eighth avenue. At this stage of the uarrativeit may be incidentally mentioned, tirst, that there is a bank at the corner of :bese two great thoroughfares, and second, that by the possession of this bil liard hall the genial Gilmore, as it were, took the banking house within his embrace. If this fact had ever occurred to any of the neighbors, or had it been generally known that he rented both the building on Eighth avenue and the one on Fourteenth street for his sole occupancy, not even the most cautious depositor would have been uneasy, for Gilmore was a'"square" man and paid his debts. Equally worthy ot remark was it that he always opened and closed both the chop house and the billiard ball himself. lie was always present and saw to his own business strictly. Industry has its reward, and in this case it is a fact capable of verification that at least one tradesman in the locality "felt that the bank was more secure because Gilmore was so near it." As the weeks rolled around THE ENTERPRISING PROPRIETOR, who had so firmly established himself in the confidence of everybody that he did not hesitate to admit that he hailed from Washington City, opened a dancing academy over the billiard room on Fourteenth street. Everybody was glad of it, the receipts of the establishment were larf. The large brown stone edificeonthe northwest corner is ocupi ed by the New lork ounty and tue New York Savings banks. The latter is located in the basement story, and the former on the floor directly above, reached from the street by iron stairs. Now, had the suave Gilmore taken the trouble to read the annual reports to the state banking superintendent, or to have consulted the city directory, he would nave learned tbat be was passing bis days and nights of honest labor in the very closest proximity to over jm.000,000 of cash and collaterals. Tint thn chon hotisa business was paying, and Gilmore was "going it strong.'" ( u. a. uavis, a carpenter on ruur"vu"" street, was employed to erect strong partitions in the cellar, both tending from wall to wan, and lnte-1 kU 1UC4U'U noise on the street that y10 scullery maids who were to attend a steam boiler "o heating me tumaia room and supplying hot water to the brs" would not be interrupted. Tobesure. it was summer, but then a steam boiler was a useful article to have in the bouse, and toe partitions were put in. A day or two after Gilmore engaged a workman of Alexander McCarel, o 2o. S4 Lisuta avenue, to move a small tubular boiler of unusual strength from the kitchen into the back cellar. The boiler was moved and put in position. Gilmore was a practical man, he believed in utilizing tbe tradesmen and merchants of the neighborhood. Such was tbe romance of Gilmore's triumph where others had Ifailed, just as it would have been told on Friday evening to any one who might have "dropped" into the establishment ot this gracious biker of clams and vender of drirks. Still there was one reality about this man's life. About miduighton Fridav. as Oflicer Keller, of the Sixteenth precinct, was on bis post in front of the New York Savings liank, he imagined that he lected the sound of a drift, which seemed ko come from the counting room. Keller waited quietly until his Bide pa.tner on Fourteenth street, umcer Sinclair, cams to tne corner, whom he at once informed ot his suspicions, and sent him by a circuitous route to THE STATION HOUSE ior assistance. 0. W. Brinkerhoff, the secretary of the bank, waa also notified. Captain Cherry, who had become anxious about the bank on account oi an occurrence which

I came to his notice; had for ten days previous been cautioning his men to keep a careiui watch of the institution. The reserve was called out at once, and Captain Cherry conducted the squad in person. All this time the clank ot thedrill was heard, as regular in its pulsations as tbe breathing of a hydraulic ram. Roundsmen Ilarns and Atkins were

ordered to gain the roof of the houe in ! fected through a door which could scarcely which the biliiard room was located. A noticed from the dancing ball Bide. Tids squad approached tbe front door, and a bar- . : 0 geAit knocked for admission. Again the j was the door through whicn the three ftiilsuave Gilmore displayed his bunines tact; i tives who were captured effected their en-

for, as the second story irouc winaow w as slowly raised, his face was sten thereat, and witnout waiting to be asKea 10 open ne exclaimed, in the sRme old cheery way, "hold on a minute, sergeant; I'll be right down." With such a cordial reception wbat could any officer do but wait? Then, too, it was the genial Gilmore, of the Sixteenth Ward. The face of the popularagaiu appeared, and again h9said,"All rigbt;l'm coiningnow." Theofticer was patience personified, lie waited. A tradesinau in tbe neighborhood. Edward W. Hughes, of No. 87 Eighth avenue, saw a man emerge from the scuttlo on the roof of the invested building, and make bis way rapidly along the housetops toward Fifteenth street. Then the door was broken in, and, on ascending to the second floor, thev found that Mr. Gilmore had departed in some haste, as he bad lef. his gold watch in his vest on a chair. Meauwhile officers Burns and Atkins bad reached tbe loof from the Fourteenth street Hide fust In time to see three men leap from a second story rear window into the yard of a dwelling fronting on tifteenth street. The fugitives scaled the division lences with the agility of -ats, and were seen rapidly making their way in that manner toward Ninth avenue. Officers Burns and Atkins reached the street in the shortest possible time, and running around Ninth avenue to Fifteenth street, secured the men as thev emerged fron tbe front door ol No. 314. "Officer Burns captured two of the men while Adkins took the third. THK THRKE FUGITIVES were completely "windsd," and could not run. The successful Gilmore, however, was not seen. The men were at once taken to the sixteenth product statiou bouse, where they gave their names as William Morgan, of Stafford, Conn.; Charies Sanborn, who refused to give his add'nJss, and James Simpson, of the West SiiJe Hotel. Captain Cherry at once recognized Morgan as the honorable N.o. 54 of the " Rogue 'a Gallery' a notorious desperado, with the following description: William Birnett, alias Bunker, pork packer, five ftet ten inches in height : aged 22iul3iil. He has ssrvsd twice in JoJiet, from whence he lately got free by feigning lunacy. Simpson is a third-class pickpocket. and leeis bonorea by the company in wbich he finds himself. Regrding Sanborn nothing isyet known. They were all locked up. It wps subsequently ascertained by a Herald private detective tfcat Gilmore's real name is J. J. Clare, and that a Mr. Montague, of No. 4 Irving place, recognized . bim one day when he visited his restaurant, as the man whom he as one of tho jurors had seen convicted of minder in Baltimore several years since. Gilmore was acquainted with a great many prominent men in Washington, aa well a in New York. Mr. Jone, an attache of the bank, states that he remembers him as a very exemplary member of an Episcopal church in Fiftieth street. Descending tbe ricketty stairs into the cellar, with Captain Cherry leading, a Herald representative began an exploration of the burglar's work. Tho darkness waa intense until a candle was procured. After passing the double partitions which were intended to prevent the noise of the drill from being heard on the fctrr,a boiler capable of stand ing a strain of 120 pounds to the pqnare inch, was seen in a corner. Tbe beamiof the floor were found cut away, and directly opposite the larire safe in ih savings bank tbe wall was lound to b 'Mr)y removed. A bole had also been d;';ll .i tnrough a solid block of Granite into tht fire-proof vanlt of the bank. The men bad evidently left everything in a hurry, tor the drills and the heavy fallet ot lead and wood were close by. Tbe wall w&j heavily braced where the brick had been removed, ani everything had the appearance of having been done by experts. The room on tbe second floor, which had been occupied by GUmore, was found in a dreadful state of confusion. This floor

THE ABOVE CUT

was mree rooms aeep, ana m tne tnlrd one was seen the mos complicated arrangement oflevers and beams. There seems to have lwen an intention to have attacked BOTH BANKS on the same night. The communication between this floor and the ballroom was er. trgnc6 int0 the ballroom and tlienco into the yard. The entire house was occupied by the gang. The barkeepers were not permitted to sleep on tbe premises. In the billiard room ere six tables. In tbe kitchen the fire iu the range was burning brightly and the tables were all ready for. the customers of the ending day. No burglars tools, uch as jimmies or wrenches, were found. It is now clear that the attack ou the vaults or the two sales was to have been made on the night of July 3. The 4th of July comes on Saturday and is a holiday. This day with Sunday would have been amply sufficient to have taken tbe safes all to pieces. Although the secretary visits the bank every day, he could not have seen tbe hole in the bacs of the safe unless he had opened it. It is now very clear why Gilmore was not particular alout the mortgage expiring on August 1. As it has turned out the banks do not lose a cent. The employe of Alexander McCarel, No. 84 Eighth avenue, who placed tbe boiler iu position, makes the following statement: This boiler waa firt put in the kitchen, on the first Moor, just off tbe dining saloon. 1 put the boiler in place and adjusted the smokepipe to the due. "The kitchen was too small," Gilmore said, and wanted it taken downstairs. Gilmore asked me one Saturday, two weeks ago to-day, ii I would remove the boiler to the cellar and put it down tbe back stairs alone, on two-inch gas pipe. We stuck it in a corner, and he at first said to me not to do anything more, but afterwards changed bis mind and had me fix it. I put in the smokepipe, and so it remains. There never was any fire in it except some paper which I put in to see whether it would draw. I did not make the boiler. Gilmore owes a bill ol 31 70 to this house for boilers, ranges, etc. I never suspected the tnan, and he could have got $100 worth of goods. Partitions were up when I was there. Davis was finishing the doors. Gilmore borrowed two trowels of me last night. I wanted him to wait till to-day, but he said tbat he wanted them at once for stopping up rat holes. Gilmore escaped fay the scuttle, and was seen by Mr. Hughes, of No. 92 Eighth avenue, going over the roof. In one place be made a jump of eight feet, thence by a rope ladder into the yard, and thence into Fifteenth street. John Simpson, Charles Sanborn and William Morgan were bromzht into Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday afternoon charged with attempting to commit a burglary on the New Yotk County Bahk building, corner of Eighth avenue and Fourteenth street. Justice Morgan remanded the prisoners until Monday, at 3:30 o'clock, when aarther examination will be had. The trustees of tbe Northwestern University, at Evanston, III., have lately passed some resolutions renewing their invitation to the Norwegians and Swedes to avail themselves of educational advantages of the Northwestern University, and that whenever the Norwegians or Swedes shall furnish a competent teacher or teachers in their respective languages, we recommend that the executive committee employ them as teachers, and tbat we recommend the appropriation of 500 for the ensuing year to be equally divided among the Norwegians and Swedes toward the support of said teacners. According Ito the "American Newspaper Directory" of Messrs. George P. Itowell fc Co., the daily circulation of cartain proniinentmorning papers iu New York city is as follovs: Herald, 70,000; Times, 38,000; Tribune. 19,000; World, 12,000. Total, 139,000. Mr. lUwell puis the daily circulation of the Sun at 120,000. It was as large as that when bis director) was Bent to press; but it has since declined, and is now about 115,000. Tbat mikes it nearly as much as the Herald, Times, Tribune and World put together; Dut this is not generally accepted.

JUDGE LYNCH BAFFLED. THE CAIRO MURDEK ATTEMPTS TO HAM; THE MTJRDEKER THE EXC1TEJIENT KiNAM.Y QUELLED. A special from Cairo to the Si. L-mis j Globe gives the particulars of tbe attempt to I lynch a murderer on Sunday evening: At J a late hour last evening the c.ty was thrown into a furore of excitement over the announcement that a well known citizen had been shot down in cold blood, by a desperado named Bill GnptOK, a Tcnnesee river pilot. Tbe particulars of thi terrible act were about these: Mr. Andrew Eishbach, a well-known barber of this city, bad been to Villa Ridge to attend the burial of a child of one of his neighbor. When the funeral train retarned, Mr. Elschbach went Into bis barber shop, which is located at the corner of Sixth street and Commerci-.l avenue, to brush thedast off his clothes; He had hardly stepped inside tbe door when Gupton carte in and demanded of Elschbach that he stave him Mr. Elschbach told him that he had just returned from a funeral, and wis anxious to go home to his supper; besides the shop bad been closed for some hours, and he could not reopen it for business. At this Gupton became greatly enraged, and declared tbat.be would make Elschbach shave bim. Mapping toward the door, Elschbach ordered Gupton to leave the house, but be was bent on mischief, and drawing a revolver shot Elschbach three times, twice in the breast and once in the bowels. Gupton was immediately arrested by Officer John Hogan, and taken to tbe city jail. While the jailor was in tbe act of searching him before locking him up, Gupton made a sudden motion with his right hand, and drawing a huge dirk knife, was about to attack the officer, but a heavy blow on tha bead from a person who stood behind him, layed bim out, when be was secured and the kuife taken away from him. Eischback lived only thirty minutes. He was well known in Cairo, and was respected by all for his industry and good citizenship. Gupton is a comparative stranjrer in this city, and the feeling against him is very strong, lie is an old Tennessee river pilot and bears a hard name. From the time it became known that Elschbach was dead, it was evident that there was something unusual going on, and that there was 'A STRONG FEELING among some citizens to take Gupton from the jail atd bang him. But np to 11 o'clock everything w&a quiet, save tbat on every street corner groups of men were gathered, conversing in subdued tones, and their manner indicat ing that they were waiti ng for some signal or action to be given far a raid on tho jail. At about halt-past eleven the fire Mis began to ring, and the firemen gathering up their apparatus started in the direction of the court-house and jail. In fifteen minutes from the time the bells first rane not less than five hundred men had congregated in the streets about the fail, and cries of "Hang the murderer;" '-Itemenxber Swobada;" "VBreak down the jail,"elc., were freely indulged in by the mob. Judge Baker, of the Circuit Court, Mr. M. It. Howell, of the Cairo Gazette, Hon. John 11. Oberly, representative frem thia county, Mayor Wood and about half a dozen others took up a position at the gate leading into the yard, holding it against the enraged mob, and admonished them not to attempt to take the murderer out of jail, etc., and calling upon all good citizens to disperse and go to their homes. Several attempts were made by the mob to force their way through the gate, but they were met by the handful of determined man stationed there, and successfully repelled. For upwards of two hours an excited and boisterous crowd lingered about the jail and indulged in all manner of threats, but no further attempt to take the prisoner out was made. All this time SheriUlrvin, with a handful of armed men, was inside the honse, and had tha mob succeeded in forcing its way past the front gate some of them would surely have been killed beibre reaching the cell where. Guptsa

was confined. Bv 2 o'clock the crowd had

I dispersed, only a few persons remnining aoout ine ground. Mr. r.ichpach waa a leading German, and a member of nlaiosfc all of the German societies in the city. He W8S very popular with his countrymen, and hence tbe great excitement caused by his murder. It is not probible another attempt to lynch Gupton will be made. MARSHAL CONCHA. DEATH OP ONE OF SPAIN'S ABLK-ST JENER AUS SKETCH OF HIS .LIFE. Treating of recent events in Spain, the New York Evening Post says: The s;gnificar.ee of the deatn of Marshal Concha may be best estimated from the circum-'ances that, notwithstanding his being tl.e most reactionary man in Spain, and a thorough adherent of Isabella, Senor Castelar. when in power, was several times on the point of nominating him to the command of the northern army, and was prevented from doing so only through the influence of the more radical members of his cabinet. It was Catelar's firm belief that Concha was tbe only man in Spain who possessed roal military abiiüy, unlimited courage, r.nd an iron hand capable of properly reorganizing an army thoroughly undermined by mismanagement, lack of discipline, and the horrible state ot its commissariat. Tho deceased Marshal was tbe oldest superior officer in the Span-i-b army, having been promoted to the rank of brigadier general fully fifty years ago, when be was thirty 3 ears of age. He tirst entered the ranks during the war against Napoleon; fought in tbe South American colonies during their rebellion: subsequently commanded a division during the seven years' (Carlist) war; was at various times captain-general of Valencia, Murcia, and Catalonia; took an active part in the suppression of the numerous Carlist and republican risings during the reign of Isa bolla; commanded -4 he Spanish armv sent out to support the pope in 1849; and occupied a loug series ol high governmental positions under Espartero, Narvez. and O'Donnell. He deserted, however, the two tint of tho?e leaders, and was accordingly BANISHED FROM SPAIN tor a time; but with O'uonnell he remained always on the best possible terms, and when in 1SGS Isabella saw the desperate position she was placed in, she asked Concha to !ave her by forming a new ministry. She was aware of the marshal's popularity wifu the arruy and hoped to be able to preserve her throne by his aid, and had recently created him Marquis del Duero. But tbe marshal was unable to assist her. Things bad gone too far; for Serrano, Prim and Topete were already in arm at Cadiz. After tbe tall of Isabella, the marshal lived part of the time m retirement in France.and part in Madrid, on the lookout for an opportunity tc restore either the ex-quesn or her son. It is reported that it had for some time been bis plan to make a military pronunciamento in favor of the young Don Alfonso as soon as the campaign against the Cur lists was brought to a successful issue. The ball that struck the gallant but reactionary old soldier has put an end to this project, and it is now left to the Generals Zabala and Morione.s to show whether anything cau, b) done to suppress the Carl is ts." Bayard Taylor is proving by the early Egyptian records that they had a fine civilization in that country some 7,000 years ago, or 1,000 years before the creation of tbe world according to the old interpretation of the Mosaic theology. There would have been something alarming in tills half a century ago to the friends of christi&nity, but at present it will be received with entire complacency in all quarters. Everything goes to prove that man has been on the earth many, many thousand years, and that it was in existence millions before it could have been inhabited by him, Cincinnati lii'juirer.
