They meant to do what was in their power to hinder the retreat, and help the Italian pursuers. It was a voluntary sacrifice.

were 200,000 in the province. De Rudio became a member of the Young Italy Secret Society, founded by the

De Kudio's shell fell under the front

may. It was an attack in the dark. The

ianoers fell back, the crowd scattered, the horses plunged to the right and left, aud confusion confounded reigned supreme. De Rudio's design was to dash

tarougn tne lancers ana finish his Ma

jesty with a dagger if the grenades fail

Rudio knew that his own life was worth

nothing if hu broke for the carriage be

fore the third grenade was thrown. He therefore waited until the third explo-

sion occurred. xae delay m delivering it, and the fact that it was

thrown by the fourth man, instead of

the third, demoralized the working of

the plot and gave the lancers time to'

rally aud surround the carriage. De Rudio saw that personal knowledge

w the Jimperor's death was impossible at that time. He with

Empress remained unharmed. At 3

low-conspirator, Pieri, had been arrested, and upon his relations with De Rudio

the latter was suspicioned and brought

preliminary hearing. The plot covered that contingency, and in a few minutes De Rudio proved an alibi and wne dis

charged. As he was leaving the build

their transport to salutation Islands, 90 miles oft French Guiana, for convalesceuoe. De Kudio was ajraiu in luck.

He went with the sick, although not sick. He wae not there 48 hours when

he confided to a fellow-urisoner his de

termination to escape. He had noticed a fisherman's boat secretly moving up under the rocks, and soiling fish to the prisoners when the opportunity offered. With five othors he went to work, making sail and preparing for a perilous voyage. At the end of five months thev

was inevitable, he was prepared to acknowledge his part in the plot and take the consequences. He was sentenced with Orsini and Pieri to be beheaded on Saturday, the 13th of March. Gormez was sentenced to hard labor for life. The 13th of March saw Orsini and Pieri mount the scaffold, and De Rudio with one foot upon it. At that moment an Officer placed his hand upon De Rudio'a shoulder and told him to follow. He wae to be reprieved. Divine luck! On Monday he received his formal pardon. The cause of this imperial clemency is forked. De Rudio's wife was only sixteen, and was of English birth and education. She appeared in person before the Empress and pleaded for her husband's life. Influences from London, a grandfather's services to the first Napoleon, the conspirator's youth and his wife's petition operated in his behalf. Above all, however, was De Rudio's luck. The Monday following Saturday was the birthday of the Prince Imperial. It was the custom to celebrate his anniversary

with the pardon of some political criminal. On Saturday there were three doomed souls. For the reasons given De Rudio (the youngest) was reserved for Monday's honor. The pardon didn't mean the release of De Rudio. His sentence wae simply changed from death to imprisonment for life. Next followed a dungeon chapter for seven months, with bread and water. A twenty-eight pound chain held him fast in a dungeon that was itself proof against the escape of a Hercules. He could take two steps in one direction; that was the only movement to break the monotony of lying down. After that chapter was ended he was transported for life to Silver Mountain, (a penal etUenMUt), in the extreme south of French Guiana, Africa. Seven months there, and the yellow fever broke ut.

A SOUTH SKA C1CLOXK. !wrow,the de Tahiti, Mareh 1.1 Ihe sloop Elgin arrived at this port on the 12th of February, bringing the sad Intelligence that tbePemotu Islands have been the theater, of Immense disasters, caused by the cyclone which ravaged the islands. Immediately the Governor issued orders to the commander of the war-ship Segond to proceed to the seene of eventa and render all the aid possible to the unfortunate sufferers. The Segond has returned, and reports that the loss of life and property has been very large. In the district of Tuuhora, island of Ansa, the losses alone will reach $120,000. Over 112,000 oocoanut trees were destroyed. In this eetimate no valuation is placed upon the great disasters to residences, warehouses, wharves, cisterns, and the uumber of coasters thrown on the shore. At Faattedano Fakarava several villages suffered, but not so disastrously as else-

where. At Manibl and Arutua houses were tossed upside down, as also on the island of Niau. Thtu damage was verv

grave at Apataki, the village boing destroyed and a number of small craft cast ashore as if they had been straws. At Kairoa two vessels at anchor were lifted from the water and cast inland. Many lives were lost, and tho bodies

were ravenously devoured by dogs and hogs perishing from hunger.

But the most terrible eventa trans.

pired on the Island of Kaukura. This island was so situated so as to ba in the center of the cyclone. Tho wind swept

over it like an infuriated demon, destined to.avenge itself upon unfortunate humanity settled there. A tcrriblo tempest of rain accompanied tho merciless winds, both bringing terror to the people. All fled for safety in their

canoes to the lagoon, but during the

night of the 6th of February an enor

mous tidal wave swept across tho island, and of tho one hundred aud seventeen

souls that had taken rofuge in their frail crafts, but one escaped to toll the tale of tho awful fate that befell thorn. The

survivor, by a miracle, as it were, was washed out of his canoe and clung to a rock. All tho others were swept away into the remorseless depths of the

ocean. The force of the waves was such as to completely change the nhvsi-

cal aspect of the island. Mountains of sand were cast upon the coral reefs, crushing and burying beneath thorn cocoanut trees from fifty to sixty foot high. It has been ascertained that the enormous body of water known as a tidal wave, which swept over Anaa and resulted in such lamentable losses, was only a link in the chain of tidal waves which attended the cyclone. At rhe same moment that the 'island of Anaa wae deluged tidal waves struck the settlement of Hitiaa, island of Tahiti, and Papotoei, island of Moroa, but not with such terrific force. The distance between Anaa and Tahiti is over 100 miles. The old natives on the island have no traditions that any such cyclone ever passed over the island before. The Pomotu group are subject to heavy squalls at certain seasons of the year, but they are not considered as within the cyclone belt, as are the Samoan and Fiji groups. It is usually plain sailing from here to Tahiti, with fair winds, without a thought of cyclones or tidal waves, but vessels when off the Pomotu group are always on the lookout for squalls. At Anaa, an American, a colored man, was Buqirised by a tremendous sheet of water which threatened his instant destruction. With great presence of mind he fled for the nearost cocoanut tree, and carrying with him a little

native child, whom he lound crying and terrified, climbed the nearost tree with the child on his back, and thus both lives were saved. At Moturaa, island of Kaukura, a native policeman, at tho peril of his life, saved a little child, eight years of age, by climbing a cocoanut tree. The child proved to bo the daughter of M. Aumeran, the mother having been engulfed by the tidal wave. The French Resident Director at Anaa had a narrow escape for his life. The full particulars of all the incidents, disasters, and loss of life are not yet known, but sufficient is now before the public to mako the cyclone ever memorable in tho history of the islands. The Pomotu islands are French possessions and lie south by west of Tahiti. There are said to be over one hundred islands in the group and all are what is known as low islands. They are of a coral formation, and but a few feet above the level of the sea. In the center are lagoons, some of which arc shallow, while others have been sounded and no bottom could be found. Tho pearl fisheries are within the lagoons, and aro

very valuable. The cocoanut tree pro

duces the principal source of food, and there is scarcely any other vegetation. Gathering cobra, tho meat of tho cocoanut, is one of the chief employments of the native. This, diving for pearls, and fishing are tho chief occupations. Tho natives aro quiet and simple in their habits, and friendly to the whites. It is said that there are some cannibals on the more, distant part of the group, but the fact is not authenticated. The American, English and German houses at Taliitl do a large trade with the Pomotu group, and win certainly suffer heavy losses in the general calamity that has befallen the islands. Yung Wing, the Chinese Commissioner who has charge of the education of the youths now in course of education in this country at the expense of the Imperial Government, has been received into the Christian Church at Monson, Mass. A companion of Yung Wing who united with the ckaroh of Munson at the same time, went to a Scotch University, where he graduated with high honor.
