charged when Henning could get a fee from the saloon keeper, he would enter a nolle pros, in the cases. Taking it altogether, with the prospect of a very objectionable ticket for county officers, the democracy are in a particular stew we learn.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—A frightful accident occurred in our neighboring county of Clark, Illinois. The Marshall Messenger gives the following account of it: "Tuesday, while Thomas Handy was running a circular saw, in Melrose, he was using one of the levers by which the log or carriage is regulated, when either he or the iever slipped, thereby throwing him back upon the saw—while in the act of falling he threw up one of arms by which to save himself, but did not succeed. The saw caught his arm, cutting it into three pieces, and then entering the back part of his head cut it straight through, teariug out one eye going above the other. His youngest son Winfteld was present and witnessed the horrid and frightful death of his father, but was powerless as to saving his life. He leaves two sons and a daughter to mourn his sad fate."

MAN ARRESTED FOR PASSING COUNFEIT MONEY.—It would appear that we have in the city, a lot of fellows who are shoving the "queer." Yesterday evening a man, whose name we omit, was arrested on charge of passing counterfeit money. He had succeeded in shoving three $10 bills on Mr. McGill, which are said to be remarkably well executed. He says that his little girl found the bills rolled up in a piece of paper. He had a hearinglast night before the Mayor, who held him in bonds to appear at 3 P. M. to-day.

A GENTLEMAN from Vincennes informs us that a house that would rent in this city for from $15 to $20 per month, will not rent in Vincennes for more than from $5 to $6, and that much real estate is being sold or offered for sale at less than the purchase price. If we had a few of the vacant houses of Vincennes in Terre Haute they would not wait long for occupants.

BOLD ROBBERY.—We are informed tha^ last night some bold robber entered the store of a Mr. Nees, at Hamrick's station, this side of Greencastle, and gagging the storekeeper, stole all the money in the drawer and a great deal of goods. The rascal escaped.

DURING the late heavy rain, many of the gutters at the side of the streets, were filled with mud, and water is also standing in many of them. The authorities should give the matter attention.

Peruvian Ladies.

A Lima correspondent of the Rochester Union says: "We will visit the family of one of Lima's aristocracy—the father, a leading Senator and formerly Minister of War under Prado the lovely daughters, patterns of fashion, models of beauty, and of the very elite of Lima society." We open one of the many glass doors and find ourselves in an inner hall, the door set in mosaic marble a little Cliolo boy, asleep on a mat, comes to us, and, presenting our card, we are ushered across the hall, through other groundglass doors, into the drawing-room. Here we sit in French chairs or sofas of gilt and yellow satin upholstery, until the senora or mother enters. She comes in smoking, if no later than two P. M., and with her black silk skirt and her magnificent hair braided down her back in long plaits. She may wear a sacque of red or blue cashmere. Advancing to you, she removes her cigar (spits on the carpet although it is a white velvet tapestry ground), and folds you in both hands to her matronly bosom, putting your head on her shoulder and patting you softly on the back. If you area young man you at first feel embarrassed, but her perfect suavity of manner soon sets you at ease. Clapping her hands a servant brings in native fruits and a bottle of native wine, and you are expected to partake of some of them. If the daughter delays in coming she opens the piano and plays you some of those old national dances—brilliant, yet sad. The daughters never keep you long, but appear in white wrappers and hair braided as the mother. If you converse, they speak a little French, but their knowledge of history and geography is all confined to Peru. They knownothing else, believe in nothing else, and can seldom more than read and write. Yet while they maintain "that other lands may be beautiful, but give me Peru—other cities may be famous and great, but I care for none but Lima," you are charmed by their polished manner, the hearty embrace they give you on entering, the reception and welcome they bestow upon you, the hospitality and absence of apology, and the charming freedom and innocence of their address. They all play (from ear mostly) and well, without urging. They dance most gracefully and naturally as possible, and they urge you to repeat yonr call or visit, with the most sincere expressions of pleasure at your coming. The soft, languid black eyes, the clear olive complexion, the straight black hair—all growing upon their head in such wonderful profusion the liquid, Spanish accent, the perfect ease of fiveir manner, all serve to fascinate you, and you fail to observe that they are perfectly illiterate and ignorant that their hands are often dingy, though covered with diamonds and that the tiny foot, peeping from the trailing white wrapper, fias often no stocking (or a very dirty one), «rad it torn old wrapper.

Those abroad may subscribe to the oath before any representative of Spain.

From MemoJrs of Fifty Years.

Jackson7 Mother.

An anecdote relative to his parting from h'Smother in his outset in life illustrates this as prominent in the attributes of his nature at that time. The writer heard him narrate this after his return from Washington, when his last term in the Presidential office had expired.

When about to emigrate to Tennessee, the family were residing in the neighborhood of Greensboro, North Carolina. "I had," said he, "contemplated this step for some months, and had arrangements to do so, and at length had obtained my mother's consent to it. AJ1 my wo' ldly goods were a few dollars in my purse, some clothes in my saddle-bags, a pretty good horse, saddle and bridle. The country to which I was going was comparatively a wilderness, and the trip along one, beset by many difficulties, specially from the Indians. I felt, and

did my mother, that we were parting forever. I knew she would not recall her promise there was too much spunk in her for that, and this caused me to linger a day or two longer than I intended. "But the time came for the painful parting. My mother was a little, dumpy, red-headed Irish woman. 'Well, mother, I am ready to leave, and I must say farewell.' She took my hand, pressed it, said 'Farewell,' and her emotion choked her. "Kissing at meetings and parting3 iu that day was not so common as now. I turned from her and walked rapidly to my horse. "As I was mounting him, she came out of the cabin wiping her eyes with her apron, and came to the getting-over place at the fence. 'Andy,' said she, (she always called me Andy), 'you are going to anew country, and among a rough people you will have to depend on yourself, and cut your own way through the world. I have nothing to give but a mother's advice. Never tell a lie, nor take what is not your own, nor sue anybody for slander or assault and battery. Always settle them cases yourself.' I promised, and I have tried to keep that promise. I rode off some two hundred yards to a turn in-the path, and looked back she was still standing at the fence and wiping her eyes. I never saw her after that."

WASHINGTON, August 11.—The expenditures of the United States during the last administration amounted to $1,517,952,784, including $1 023,044,465 for the army.

The receipts of customs last week were $3,037,791. A letter from a well known American in Berlin, on intimate terms with the Government of the North German Confederation, furnishes information that the propostion to place the Prince of Hohenzollen on the throne of Spain, was purposely concealed by that Prince from King William some time, but when the monarch was consulted the project received prompt and unqualified disapprobation, the King arguing that, considering the peculiar temperament of the Spanish people, such proceedings would be a second Maximillian fiasco, resulting in the loss of the Prince's head.

The writer further says the King held their view's up to the time the French Government made the peremtory demands, through Benedetti, for an explanation. Nothing but the tone and manner in which the demand was made, and afterwards followed up by him, for guarantees prnvented further reference to the subject by the King.

New York.

NEW YORK, August 11.—A Tribune special dated London, Wednesday, August 10, evening says: "The latest official dispatches, dated Metz, August 9, evening, states that the Emperor went this morning to the headquarters of Marshal Bazaine, and resumed command of the troops concentrated at Metz. This is an indirect way of contradicting the rumor that Marshal Bazaine was to be made Generalissimo of the whole army of the Rhine. The Emperor is blind to his own incompetency, and disregarding the universal outcry against it, will cling to the chief command of the army until another defeat exhausts national patience. He gives out that he never will return to Paris alive unless as a conqueror.

About the 20th of July a large party of Indians, numbering about two hundred and fifty, raided into Cook and Montague counties, Texas, killed a man named Collyer, and carried off his wife and five children, three of whom were young women. They also captured several other eopie. A party of the Sixth United Jtates Cavalry, from Jacksonboro, pursued them to near Wachita, when the Indians, seeing the troops were only about sixty in number, attacked them, and a severe fight ensued, in which two soldiers were killed and six wounded, and two Indians were killed and several wounded.

THE Augusta Constitutionalist is informed by a gentleman who has recently returned to Georgia from a Northern tour that General Frank Blair bitterly regrets having fought against the South during the war, and would give his right arm if he could only recall the past. General Blair belongs to that wing of the Democracy which believed in keeping up the struggle between the North and South on reconstruction and the negro—believing them to be "live issues"—and dissentiner from the policy of acceptance recently put forward by the New York World and Chicago Times. These stories may or may not be true—probably they are a little of both.

At a meeting of the Republican State Central Committee resolutions were adopted heartily sympathizing with the people of Germany in the cause of universal liberty.

PARIS, August 11.-3:30 p. M.—The La Liberte has positive information that the Imperial headquarters are no longer at Metz.

The Moniteur gives the following account of the death of General Douay at the battle of Weissenberg: The General was from the beginning in the thickest of the fight. When he saw the day was lost, after he had done all he could to retrieve it, he called his aids, and gave them orders and sent them away. As soon as the last was gone, the General, spurring his horse, rode some distance to the front, dismounted, and taking a pistol from his holster, shot the animal, then turning around, he slowly walked toward the enemy. His soldiers vainly tried to stop him, but amid the terrible firing he walked on. The retreating soldiers, aroused by the spectacle, turned again upon the enemy, but fell in heaps around their General, who pressed forward. Another tremendous discharge from the enemy, and Douay, almost fell dead.

MARSEILLES, August 10.—For two days the city has been greatly agitated by demonstrations of the people. Great crowds assembled and demanded arms.

Last evening groups of Radicals, seemingly without evil intent, entered the City Hall and endeavored to overthrow the municipal government. Troops quickly arrived with the strongest orders to arrest the rioters. Arrests have continued to-day, about forty persons being now under guard for participating in the disturbance. The city is perfectly tranquil again.

PROCLAMATION OF THF KING. LONDON, August 11.—The King of Prussia has issued the following proclamation

We, William, King of Prussia, make known to the inhabitants of French territory occupied by German forces, that the Emperor Napoleon having, by sea and land, attacked the German nation, who are eager to live in peace with the French people, have takea command of the German army to repel aggression, and by military events have been led to pass the French frontier. We war against soldiers, not citizens therefore the latter may continue secure in person and property so long as they abstain from hostile acts and we grant them protection as a right. The Generals commanding the corps will decide what measures are necessary for communities violating the usages of war. They will also regulate the requisition necessary to sustain their troops and fix the difference of exchange between German and French currency in order to facilitate dealings between soldiers and citizens.

Advices irom the Prussian front, up to ten o'clock "Wednesday night, stating that the French are falling back to the line of the Moselle, harrassed by the Prussian cavalry, which had already passed Saarunien, Folguemont and Lee Etangs. Stores of all kinds and railway trains had fallen into the hands of the Prussians. They had also taken the small fortress of Hutzelstein in the Vosges, which the French had evacuated, leaving guns and provisions.

A special dispatch from Carlsruhe to the Globe announces that Strasburg is invested on all sides by the Prussians, who hold the railroad.

General Beyer, who commands the city has been summoned to surrender and refused. It is said the citadel is scantily pensioned. The garrison consists of only one regiment of the line and the National Guard of the place.
