Hia preparation was sent for, near and far, till finally he gave it the name of Castoria, and pat it up for sale. It is very wonderful in its effects, particularly with tke disordered stomachs and bowels of children, It assimilates the food, cures sour stomach and wind colic, regulates the bowels, expels worms, and may be relied upon in croup. : i As a pleasant, effective and perfectly safe eathartie remedy it is superior to Castor Qil, Cordials and Syrups. It does not. contain alcohol, and is adapted to any agc. By regulating the stomach and bowzls of eross gnd sickly children they become good-na-’ tured and healthy.

-A ROMANCE OF*HISTORY. « In the early. part of the {ifteenth century the Island of. Corsica was a bone of contention betiween the maritime Republic of Italy, the Duchy of Savoy, and the Kingdom of Fran%e. The latter in that time was ruled by the chivalr‘_ous@ Francis the First, one of the most remarkable characters-in history. lis ambition was only equaled by his reckless audacity, and he alone of all #he Princes of his time ventured ‘to break a lance .with the powertul Emperor Charles the Fifth, who so disastrously defeated him at Pavia in 1525.. In the preceding year King Francis had a quarfel with his wife, who had reproached him for his follies. ~One day, madened by her taunts, he said to his.valet, Gavini, a -Corsican: o oe = “Ah, T mﬁet rid of Her Majesty. Her tempeér is too bad. I-am sure that the Holy Father will grant me a divorce from her. But where shall 1 find a new wife ?” ! ] “Your Majesty has only to choose among tne iuost beautitul’ princessos of Europe,” said Gavini. : “But- there is not a single beautiful princess in Europe,” rejoined theKing, almost angrily. “Amelia of Savoy is the. only one .that is not absolutely homely,. and I hate Wer father so bitterly that I'should be reluctant to enter into a union with any member of his family.” - _ C“lf syour Majesty will permit me,” said the :wily Corsican, “I could tell youof a lady with royal blood in her: veins, who is young and handsome enough to grace the throne of France by your side.” - ¢ Thied “And who is she ?” asked the King, eagerly. ) : - “She is the Marchioness Isolena Della Ballo.” TS . “T have never heard of her.”- 5

“She is the richest women in Corsica, where her ancestors, since time immemorial, have owned mpst of the real estate, and where ‘they have been more powerful than the real rulers of the island ever were. Her grandmother. was a niece of the Emperor Maximilian, and she is the last of her race, your Majesty.”- : : “The last of her race, Gavini, and still unmarried ?*° )

- “Your Majesty, there is a strange tale to this,” replied Gayini. “About ‘seven years ago the Marchionessywith her aged father, was having a boatride off Ajaccio. . A thunder-storm’ sprang up, and the frail bark was in danger of capsizing. The old Marquis .was frightened to death. ; . “‘Pray, my child,” he’ cried in his terror, ‘pray to her who.alone cansave us. Pray .to her, and promise to remain unmarried, unless a King should .come to solicit your hand!” / “Isolena took that pledge, and now she is mistress of immense estates, and one of the most beautiful women in the world.”

The Xing, who!acted as if he had already got rid of his legitimate wife, had by this' time become deeply interested in'the subject. . : “Gavini,” he said, “how does this Marchioness look ?” |

“Your Majesty, I have truly never -seen a larlly worthier to adorn a throne than she. She is the fairest daughter whom Italy,the land of pretty women, ever gave birth to. Tall, slender, majestic, with a complexion of marble, and features whieh Phidias would have gladly chiseled in stone, she has on her lips the tempting smileé of Cupid, and in her black eyes all the fire of the goddess of love.” . - S In this manner: the' artful valet stimulated the desires of his Royal master, until the latter finally said to him:. e : ; ““I should like to make her acquaintance; but that has to be done in a very discreet manner.” ' : After hemming and hawing for a long time, Gavini suggested that he himself might go to Corsica and make overtures to the most beautiful Marchioness. “The King eagerly etbraced this offer. ‘ §t: Gt

“You shall go, Gavini,” he criet. “Go to Montapas, my treasurer, and draw as inany livres in gold as you need.” :

“But, your Majesty,” said the valet, “money is not sufficient for such a mission. T ought to have that and also—-" %

“What?” $A posittonl” . .0 “What position ?” . Ay _ “I ought to be clothed with the rank of a Minister, your Majesty,” i The King looked at his valet der a minute without saying anything.. Then he burst into laughter, - o " “Gavini,” he exclaimed, “yoi are the most.impudent raseal I ever saw. But your idea is a good one. Yes, you' low-born_villian, shall for once go a 3 my envoy to Corsica. Prevail upon the Marchioness, whose charms you extol so %gthnsiastioauy, to come to P, g 1 shall rowhin yowtiute: ofo o SRR RG T T

On the following day ?Gavini,.‘ to whom royal credentials had been given, to the dismay of the King’s Minister of State, sef out for Corsica. ' He had a large retinue of servants, and acted in perfect keeping with the exalted position to which his master had so suddenly raised him. 'ln due course of time he arrived at Ajaccio and called with his attendants upon the ‘Marchioness Isolena;Della Ballo. He hadnot exaggerated her charms. She was indeed & most charming and attractive woman. Upon presenting the credentials to her hesaid: - :

#My royal master, your Excellency, has intrusted me to bring about more cordial relations between, France and the island of which you are mistress, if not by divine right, at least by the right- of your surpassing beauty, as well as by virtue of the time-honored claims of your ancestors.” - ?

The- compliment was npf’lost upon the handsome creature. Shg dismissed the valet-envoy in the mo 3t gracious manner,| ‘ ; : e “I will capture hereasily,” thought Gavini, as he took Ais departure. “L believed she was :go. intelligent to be gulled by such gr2nsparent ﬂa\tteg. . Very. well—so much thie’ better for -’!me-n 2 J " But a young admirer of the Marchioness, Signor Conde de Vrao, who in years gome by had been at the gay Court of France, had recognized him. 'The Conde solicited a private interview with the Marchioness: after Gavini had withdrawn. © At first she hesitated to grant the request,because the Conde had often urged her to give ' him her hand.! Buthe was so persist-. ent this time that she went with him to her boudoir. G T aan® O o ~ “Isolend,” he said to her, “do you iknow who that man is?” | “The Envoy of the King of Frafice, {Conde,” she replied. “His credentials show it.” LA LB . “That may be, Isolena,” he rejoined ;. “but I am sure that the King, in sending the fellow——" : e . “The fellow!” ’ © “Yes, the fellow, Isolena. I amsure that the King, in sending the fellow to “you, has played a very ;contemptible trick upon you!” sAI T " “Howso?” ' i “Because this pretended envoy is no other than King Francis’ bodyservant.” . o . “A menial!” she cried, with flashing eyes. . Lqee ‘3“Yes, the léwest of the low; he who dresses and undresses Hisg#lajesty of Pranges ! . 2 ; A ; “And the King could put the affront on me by sending sueh a scoundrel to me?’ ; -

“It is not all, Isolena. /This Gavini is a Corsican, a’'serf of your father’s who fled the country twenty years ago because he had committed several disgraceful thefts.” / e The beautiful Marchioness was by this time so enraged she uttered the followin;irterrible oath: L “Had I to-day King Francis in my power I should cause him t 6 perish as migerably as the dog whom he ‘has sent to me. I swear it, and should I lose my own:life ‘and ruin this whole island, which I love so well.” [. |

‘At midnight on the same day Gavini was dragged from his bed-and thrust into a dungeon. Six hours later he was confronted ‘by: the ‘executioner and the indignant Marchioness. P “You arc abouat Loale,” alie said piti--lessly to the ill-fated man. i “How dare you treat the sacred person' of an envoy in this manner?” he cried. e e SN R

. “The- sacred person of an escaped serf and thief!” she cried. “Gavini, I’ know who'you aré.” K ? i . “I am the~Envoy of the King of Erincels: : ; £ “You mean his valet] Now' listen to me.

Gavini referred once more to the inviolability of his office. She ordered the executioner to torture him. A horrible scene ensued. The prisongr was placed ‘on a wooden bench, and then the executioner, after binding him, began to tear off his flesh with redhot pincers. For ten minutes the victim, though uttering the most unearthly yells, refused to confess. A% last, when the agony became too great, he told the Marchioness what he had come to Corsica for.” This still added toher tury, 1~ - :

- “What!” she cried, “King Francis hag believed me to be so low! Me, who have more ancient blood in my veins than® Valois ever had! Oh, he shall rue it! He shall rue it!” : : She thén ordered Gavini to be beheaded, and sent hig head in a glass jar filled with white Corsican wine to the King of France. Francis the First was besideé himself with rage uponreceiving his ghastly present. He organized -a secrét mnaval expedition to Corsica, and caused Isolena to be kidnapped. She landed in Marsailles in February, 1525. The King was there at the time. ‘He refused to see her. “Have her hair cropped,” he ordered, “have her clad in hempen garments, and then whipped through the streets: of the city!” This was done on the following day. The beautiful Marchioness suffered the torture: with astounding fortitude. Not a cry of pain escaped her tightly-compressed lips as the executioner’s lash descended uponher shoulders. At last she opened her mouth; a stream of blood issued from b i s

“Oh, who will avenge me?”" she gasped. sge e 4 She was avenged afew months later when Francis the Firgt was overpowered- at Pavia, undso badly beaten that he exclaimed: . - ~ “All is lost save honor.” i

RAILROAD ROBBERS.

“The ZWel‘!{-’Pﬁixned and ‘Well-Exe-el _oﬂ"ﬁ‘o‘:‘(rj Plli'ln‘lblerxo'fla.’uls-i e souri Trafm, =~ | The telegraph has brought us skel"eton details of the robbery ofa train on the Migsouri Pacific road on Friday night of July 7th by a band of border Dick Turpins, by which the Adams, and United States Express ’companiesl’ were plundered of some $lB,OOO. Tt was a remprkable' -daring exploif, and in some respects exgeededin boldnesg of conception and -exeeution even the daring raids of the Rénos in Indiana and the James and Y,ounéeg brothers in Missouri ‘and Arkansas. ' The scene was laid about ’twq;miles ‘east of Otterville, a small station on the Missouri Pacific, ‘and the particulars are thus giveh inthe St. Louis G’lgbe-l)e‘mocrqt Teport: J e o 'Train No.’4 of this road, consisting of one baggage car, three coathes and twa sleepers, left Kansas City for St. Louis at 4:45 p. M. Friday. " At Sedalia the baggage and’ express car of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Road was coupled on to the train, and the Texas passengers taken on for St. Louis. = il

Punctually at 9:30 the signal was | given to: {“‘pull out,” and the train proceeded at the usual speed- until, on arriving at-the cutting, some two | miles out of Otterville, the engineer: saw a red light in the center of the track. Obedient to the signal, he | atonce turned the lever of the Westinghouse brake, and stopped the train just as the cow-catcher had begun to ride over some obstacle in front, which, upon examination, | proved to be a number of cross-ties piled up on the track, very effectu- | ally preventing any further progress in that direction for the time., = Hardly had the lever been turneld for the rekeasé ‘of the brakes when two meny with faces masked and armed with navy revolvers, mounted the cab of the engine, and, ¢overing the engineer and fireman with their revolvers; remarked, “ Better keep} quiet, yot know,” following the re- | mark with the prompt rewmoyal of engineer and fireman to the bag-gage-car, where they were kept un- | der guard, G : The moment the train had stopped it became apparent fo “all concerned ” that an exceedingly - wellorganized and well-armed band of robbers had obtaired possession of and ‘entire control of the train.— | There was no chance of backing out, and even had there been any one on board the train hardy enough to reverse the lever and open the throttley it would have availed nothing, ! as ‘the robbers, {with careful . fore- | sight, had piled up a number of ties across the'track in the rear of the tran(ai; s well as sent out a man with a red lantern to flag the freight train | which follows No. 4, and was shortdv due.. g

In the express car, whichy by the way, was a combination baggage and express car, were the safes-of- the Adams and United States Express companies. . The 'former was what is technically called a ‘through safe,’ and was talen on 'board at Sedalia. where it had been locked and sealed, one key being kept at Sedalia. and the other at St. Louis. .. The safe of the U.S. company wasa “way” safe, the key of which was in' possession of the ‘messenger, Mr. J. B. Bushnell. Bushnell was pretty quick to takein the situation, and at once made for one of the sleepers, where he found a brakeman, into whose custody he committed the key of the safe. The brakeman put the key in his shoe, and then took a seat by the side of one of the passengers, trying to conceal himself by appearing perfectly unconcerned. : ; The robbers were evidently a desperate, reckless ‘set. The expresscar had both end doors fastened and both side doors open, and without taking any account of the messenger, whom they might have expected to be armed, three men -boldly entered the car and at once took the baggage-master, Mr. Conkling, in hand. 'When asked for the keys of the safe Conkling replied that they were not in his possession. This the. robbers failed to believe, and accordingly felt all over the bag-gage-master’s person, till they were convinced he did n’t have the keys. The ugly intimation followed that he had better say where they were, upon which Corkling added, “I suppose the messenger has ’em.” Then came the question of the messenger’s whereabouts, and when the robbers ‘were told that he was probably in one of the ‘rear cars they marched Conkling to the'rear with peremptory instructions, backed up by sundry threats and the ominous presentation of pavy revolvers, to point out the messenger.. The procession through the cars didn’t exhilerate the passengers’ spirits any, byt had rather a depressing éﬂeggt as evidenced: by the number who. had crept under the seats. Finally the ‘messengér was found, and, receiving no encouragément from the passengers to stand firm, h?"fiﬁdicated(}i _the%}fake’%hﬁﬁ, who_at once deliver-' ed up the keys, and was. marched with Eis companion, to the express. ORPe g n o Aal el v g i ¥

Having: procured the keysy the villains at-once~opened the U. S. Express Company’s safe, and emptied the entire contents, save way bills, into a long wheat sack, , They. evidently expected no greater dmﬁ{ culty with the other safe, and were considerably surprised: and exvited: when ‘they found tHat no oné of the keys surrendered would fit its lock: Théy cursed—imdeed thé whole affair was redolent. of profanity —and; were unyilling to believe that. the. key was not to be had, until the brakesman explained that f;hgrAd’j ‘am§Compan Ead no route over the Missgors Pagifc buciorly o comtesot with'the UL Gbﬁ;b?ig? gféﬁe‘g?gﬁ portation Q%lé safe ?fé 98=, dalisto St. Louis, At this, a small, R s W eatd oSO

” the crew, went ahead fo the tender, ‘and, returning with the fireman’s ‘coal hammer, used it‘on the door of the safe, giving several blows with the pointed end of the hammer head to no effect, whereupon a stundy ‘bandit snatched the implement from his ‘hand, and giving about a dozen severe licks made a hole in the safe. Laying < down the hammer- he jat: tempted to intreduce his hand, but* only managed to scratch off a’good quantity of its cuticular covering, to the disgust of the little man, who! pushed him contemptuously aside, remarking: “I wear a No. 7 kidjand can get my hand in where yours won’t gO.” ; The No. 7 fist soon succeeded in raking out thé contents &f the ' safe, which were speedily transferred, way bills éxcepted, to the belore-mentioned sack, after which the thieves left for parts unknown. ¥ S ]

Resolved, That conventions be composed of the delegates to the late State conventions for the several ‘counties comprising sadd districts. A

Delaware county. This action .of the Central Committée was rendered Imecessary from ﬁhe fact thét, ? Judges Buskirk and Worden refased to resign their places on‘the ticket: Downey resigned and Pettit, after re-. ceiving notice to quit, went over to 1! the Republican party where he hopes | to find congenial companionship.

The cause of Mr. Pratt’s retirement, 3 Washidgton telegram, of the I3th .declares, turns out o be just what everybody supposed, ‘and-is found in his vigorous co operation with Bristow in prosecuting the” | whisky frauds. = He also opposed the pardon of any who are. .‘nxxdgrgQixig imprisonment for frauds on the reve-nue,-and especially objected to lenien¢y for those convicted in his own’ State. - Mr. Pratt’s honesty as a Republican 'is -such that his rémoval ccannot be satisfactorily explained to the people of Indiana, the republican portion of whom; are already carrying & dead weightin - their nominee for | Governor, who will soon be shown ‘up. as a violator of the law in taking fees for service rendered while a member ‘of Congress in procuring ' improper legislation.
