Mimlhmvm. MRS An Adventure in Chinese Waters, Some live years ago I was serviug in .Her Majesty’s gunboat Havock, station ed on the coast of China. We had been sent to Hankow, an important trading place some six hundred miles island on a large river, to protect the merchants resi dent there from incursions of the Celes tials, who regarded the “ foreign devils,” as they called ns, with considerable dig-' favor. No sooner had the* gunboat been absent for a few days, settling some dls lurbnnces further down the river, than the Hankow merchants got into trouble. It appeared that an army of eighteen hundred Braves, or Imperial soldiers, had passed down the river in a licet of boats, and, finding themselves inconven iently crowded, had seized and made off with one of Messrs. Dent and Company's trading junks. Having been put iu pos session of these facts, we immediately got up steam aud went in pursuit. Two hours’ hard steaming with the swift cur rent brought us up with them. The fleet had anchored in the mouth of a creek, and there, sure enough, was the trading junk towering above them nil. We came to an anchor off the mouth of the creek in such a position that nothing could es cape us. Just at this time a very stately-looking mandarin junk was coming down the river with great parade, and making for the entrance of tile creek. A crowd of men were rowing her very swiftly, and enormous banners floated from her mast- head, whilst a profusion of gaudy flags trailed in the water from the spears that were thickly .planted around her bow and stern. The gong that had been clanging furiously suddenly ceased as our two boats dashed a'ongside and we boarded her. After a short scuffle wo were in full possession of the vessel, almost before the crew bad .recovered from their first sur- prise. We now turned tbejunk’s head round and made the rowers get their Jong sweeps out and pull her alongside the Havuuk. Our movements had not been unnoticed in thocreek. The Braves were literally howling with rage, trumpets were brayirg, and the men, stripped for lighting, were rushing about tor their arms in the wildest hurry and confusion. Meanwhile uo time was lost in bringing ourgu.ia to bear; the ponderous sixty eight pounder trained slowly round, re ceived Us eh.;rge, and the Havock show ed her teeth. We waited for the first volley, but our ugly appearance seemed.to damp their courage very considerably. I have al ways noticed that the cool, deliberate way in which our guns are run out aud loaded has au astonishing influence on the Celestial mind ; it is so different from their furious, bombastic way of lighting, it was,, perhuj)s, just as well for us that they did cool down, for there would have been more than eight hundred opposed to our forty men, whilst we had the ad ditional inconvenience of having just captured a larger number of the enemy than our own ship’s company. Failing to perceive their advantage, they released the trading junk and pushed her out into the stream, aud our boats soon towed her &c., £c. alongside. A boat was then sent in with a gentle man named Doyle, who acted us interpre ter for Messrs. Dent and Company, to of- Jer to exchange the mandarin junk and crew for the inch who had seized the tra ding junk. This they ‘refused. As it was now near sunset we shifted ouy posi tion farther out into the middle ol the river, for it would have been most impru dent to have remained wi'hin pistol shot of so numerous and skilful an enemy throughout the darkness of the night.*— The mandarin’s retainers and crew were now transferred from their vessel to ours, and a search was commenced for tli© man darin himself, whose euphonious name, Wang, was emblazoned in huge charac ters on all the banners and everything else in the vessel. It seemed that this Wang was the very gentleman that wo .most wanted, for he was the general iu command of this division of the army. All the doors of the cabin were strong ly barred up from the inside, and for, a time defied our attempts to enter. 1 — “Now,” we thought, “ we have‘you, Gen era! Wang!” as the door burst open, .ml accompanied by another officer and in stead of the old mandarin skulking iu a corner iu a state of abject terror, as we had expected, we found two of the lovli cst girls and ugliest old woman that it is possible to imagine. The elder .girl stood up boldly, her fine face white with rage, and her lustrous black eyes flashing and giving full effect to the volley of curses that she hissed at us through her white and firmly clench ed teeth. tShe wasiudeeda.beautifulglrl, —such a profusion of glossy black hair, such firmly pencilled eyebrows, strongly arched, aud, in her calmer moments, such a sweet little red mouth. Her figure was good, her hands, too, were of the small est, and fingers the most delicately taper ed, whilst her feet muse have been to a Chinaman something maddening, shey were so incredibly small. The dress that she wore suited her admirably; it was of a rich dark purple satin, lined with white fur, aud embroidered round the edge with gold and bright colors. Close behind her stood the other girl.— She was apparently a year or so younger, and was a faint reflection offter compan ion. She iu the bud was the promise of as fair a flower da the other, and was won* derfully pretty. Her dress was not so magnificent as her slaters, but was still exceedingly handsome. She, though in very great terror, seemed to have unboun ded confidence in heroldersister, to whom she clung as though for protection. The old woman sat muttering in the corner, and groaned out the direct imprecations on us and our fathers before us; but of these, since they amused her without af fecting us, we* took no notice. She would have been at any time ugly enough, but her impotent rage now rendered her doub ly-hideous. We searched every part, of the vessel, but wore unabloto find Wang. It appeared that ho had indeed come down in the junk, but during the hurry and confusion of the capture, had man aged to jump overboard and getaway. As I liave said, wo were accompanied by Doyle, and by his aid wo began a con versation with Mrs. Wang with a view to pacifying her and the other ladies. At first she was frantic and would listen to nothing, but gradually she became more reasonable. Hero it Is necessary to digress slightly to say a little about Doyle, for otherwise his interpretation of the conversation would appear eccentric. Doyle was a man who had been educa ted for a missionary, baa mastered the Chinese language solely with that object, and had commenced his duties in China. He was a geod fellow on the whole, but a very peculiar one, and his stories favored strongly of the Munchausen school. Ev ery one in China know Doyle and his sto ries. But the peculiarity with which we have to deal was somewhat amusing. In interpreting or relating any conversation, he invariably represented every one as prefacing sentences with “Book here,” and it was droll to hear him invest every thing with this his idiosyncrasy. As, for instance, in our conversation with this lady, which ran thus: “Now, Doyle, tell her not to bo afraid, for she shall not bo molested in any way.” After a deal of talking ho manages to make her understand this, hut she evi dently does not believe a word of it, and so we ask Doyle What she says. “ O,” he replies, “she says, ‘Look here; why do yo” come here, you red haired barbarians? You will not dare to ■touch me, the wife of his Excellency Wang. There are my handmaidens, take them if you will, but immediately quit my centre-chamber. * . “ And so then,” said Doyle, “ X replied, ‘Look here; we respect your ladysnip’s most excellent greatness, and we will do nothing that shall bo unpleasant to you uor to your Judies.’” “ Well, Doyle, and then ?” “Look hero,” he answered, “ She is still very abusive for this is what she said to me in reply: ‘Look hero, you white faced dog, who alone appear to under stand the flowery language. Kay, what further insult willyouoiler mo? Tell#ie, where is my Lord Wang? Have you kill ed him, or do you reserve him for the tseen tsCe?’” This signifies “ the thou sand cuttings,” ti»e mode of executing State criminals. They are tied to stakes, and slbwly hacked to pieces; the execu tioners contriving, with horrible ingenu ity, to defer the fatal stroke as loug'as possible. ‘‘And so,” ho continued, “I said to her, 4 Look hero; wc do not fight with pretty women, and as for Wang, ho has deserted you and escaped; but you will doubtless see him before the end of this moon.’ ” This conversation continued for some time, much in the samp strain, but occas ionally interrupted by a prolonged howl from the old woman in the corner. 111!;111MM WA N G Having thus endeavored, with but lit tle success, to reassure these unhappy la dies, we returned and attended to our other prisoners. They were huddled to-, gether on the quarter-deck, vainly trying to keep themselves warm, for the night wind was very cold. At first they were in a great state of terror, but now seemed more resigned to the-horrible fate that they had no doubt was to await them. Hails were brought to cover them, but these they vigorously, rejected, thinking that we meant to smother them. With groat dilllculty, and to their vast astonish ment, they wore made to understand that our only object was to make them com fortable, ami not to torture them. Treat ment such as this they had never heard of captives receiving; still less could they believe it possible at the hands of the Western devils, who are naturally con sidered to bo seven times more malignant than devils are wont to be. When at last they did-understand our motives, It was pleasant to see how gratefully they stowed themselves away under the sails. I then sent for a stiff*glass of grog and offered it to them, telling them that it was the “ yang shoo,”'the foreign wine. Until they saw me taste it no one would touch it, and then one ventured. He was delighted; his little black eyes twinkled and opened wide with astonishment,— The glass was passed round, and they all said, “ It is good, it is good ; his* Foreign Excellency's wine is very good.” About this time a boat was seen ap proaching through the darkness. The sentries hailed, and the men in the boat answered, according to Doyle, “ Look here; we want to come alongside; we have something of importance to commu nicate.” Three or four miserable looking Chinamen came on board, and this is Doyle’s account of his conversation with them. “Look hero,’ said!; what do you want?” ' “ And they said, 1 Jjook here; we are the men who took the foreigners’junk, and e have come to give our Selves up to you in order that the general’s vessel may bo released.” “ ‘ Look here,’ I replied ‘ j’ou are not the men. I don’t believe a word you have said. Why have you endeavored thus to deceive his Foreign Excellency?” “* O, great teacher, be not too angry with us,’ they answered. ‘ For look here; we are not indeed tl’io men who stole the junk. We are simply poor rice-planters who live on yonder bank, and the Braves came to us and said, Look here; if you will not go on board that barbarian ship we will kill you and your wives and chil dren, and burn your farms and lay waste your Holds. And so we took counsel to gether amongst ourselves, and wo said, Look here; I twill be better for us to trust ourselves in the hands of the chiefs of the great English nation, for they can but take our lives; and if we refuse to go our wives and children will be murdered too. Now, therefore, we beseech you. O ovor to-be-venerated teacher, ask hla Foreign Excellency not to deal too hardly with n«” “ And so I said, ‘ Why, look here; as you certainly are not the men who took the junk, you may go. When you get on* shorogo to the chiefs of the J 3 raves, and say. to them. Look hero; these foreigners are wise beyond measure, I heir eyes are as hawks' eyes, and It is useless to practise deceits. Bend off no more false messen gers, for it will avail you nothing.' ” These poor fellows were overjoyed at their escape. The Braves could hardly have been a blessing to them. In about an hour some more men came with the ’ very same story. They were soon found out, and allowed to return with a similar message. Duringthe night a third came, with a like resuit; this time, however, the story had been varied a little. On the following morning a fighting boat was coming down the river to join the fleet. It was determined to intercept her. With this object we weighed anch or and stood in close to the mouth of the creek, where wo stopped, aud manned and armed boats. We remained close alongside hidden by the gunboat, until the report of one of the howitzers gave us the signal to start.. The fighting junk then being within easy distance, we were quickly alongside her, and without much diillculty we made ourselves masters of the vessel. She was brought alongside, her crew transferred, and a search of the vessel was made. We were In luck again, for there was half a million of copper cash on board. This, it appeared, was for the pay of the army. We then returned to Hankow with our prizes In tow, and restored the merchants' junk to her owners; the other two with the prisoners, wekept for about a week. Every morning and evening yre visited the ladles to oak if they wanted anything. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1867. At first.thoy were aa wild na poaaible, and Mrs., Wang uaed frequently to start up ,atid call out In a commanding tone, * Ho, there, guards; take away these barbari ans I” but by degrees they got tamer, and a circumstance occurred which made us all great friends. Aftpr this wo used to supply her with winejHend her Illustrat ed books, and amuse her with our epau lettes, gold lace, swords, and everyth inf: else that we could think of. The circumstances to which I have al luded was this. One day the Indies com plained that they wore very unwell. It seemed that since their lorcl and master hud deserted, the servants all refused to work, and the Indies could got nothing cooked, and they were consequently in a very low condition simply from want of food. This deficiency of course was speed ily remedied, and then we sot ourselves to find out all the circumstances of tho case. The servants evidently thought that they would extort large sums of money in this way from tho Indies. They were mistaken, however. Tho matter was sUmmarilydisposod of by sending for therp and explaining to them that in consequence of their gross misbehavior we had determined on beheading them all It astonished us no little to see their calm resignation when they received their sentence. They simply said, “ Well, if your will, you mast!” or something of that sort. I never could have believed their stoicism to bo possible, and should always have thought* that they doubted the sincerity of our purpose, had I not seen their frantic joy when they were told that they would be allowed another chance of life, provided they returned to their duties; they were as though they had veritably arisen from the dead, and we had been the authors of the change.— Suffice it to say that their gratitude knew no bounds, and there were no more com plaints. When it was reported that the men who were implicated in the junk’s seizure had been delivered up and punished, the two Imperial vessels and their oretvs were released. Our.men had fraternized very consider ably with their Celestial brother-sailors, —so much so, indeed, that on leaving the ship they wore so drunk that their efforts to row their vessels to land wore truly ri diculous. We parted from the ladies with much regret, for I, for one, had learned the truth of the old adage, “Diim capimus enpitnur.” They took with them many mementoes of their captivity amongst the fierce Western barbarians, and with other tilings, I hope, the lesson that the “ for eign Devil” is not so black as ho is paint ed. fllnrlt Twain and the Mnslio*. Mark Twain tells the following story by -a fellow passenger, who, being ban tered about his timidity, said ho bud never been scared since be had loaded an old Queen Anne’s musket for his father once, whereupon he related the follow ing: You see the old man was trying to learn me to shoot blackbirds and beasts that tore up the young corn, and such things, so that I could bo of some use about the farm, because I wasn’t big enough to do much. My gun was a little single-barrel shot gun, and the old man carried an old Queen Anne’smusketthat weighed a ton, and made a report like a thunder-clap, and kicked like a mute.— The old man wanted me to shoot the old musket Some time, but I was afraid. One day, though, I got her down and so I took her to the hired man and asked him how to load her, because the old man was out in the fields. Hiram said : ‘ “ Do you see the marks on the stock— an X and a V on the Queen’s crown?— Well, that means 10 balls and o slugs— that’s her load.” “But how much powder?” r “Oh,” he says, “ it don’t matter; put in three or four handdfull.” So I loaded her up that way, and it was an awful charge—X had sense enough to see that—and started out. X levelled her on a good many blackbirds, but every time I went to pull the trigger I shut my eyes and winked. I was afraid of her kick. Towards sundown I fetched her up at the house, and there was the old man resting on the porch. “ Been out bunting, have ye?” “ Yes, sir,” says I. “ What did you kill ?” “ Didn’t kill anything —sir didn’t shoot her off—l was afraid sbe’d kick.” (I knew blamed well she would.) “Gimmus that gun!” the old man says, mad as sin. And ho took aim at a sapling on the other side of the road, and I began to drop back out of danger. And tire next minute I heard an earthquake, and the Queen Annie whirling end over end in the air, and the old man spinning around on one heel, witji one leg up and both hands on his jaw, and the nark Hying from the sapling ; the old man’s shoulder was set back some inches, and his jaw turned black and blue, and be had to lay up for three days. Cholera nor nothing else can over scare me the way I was scared that time. A Model Merchant. A merchant of New York, during the late war, made a contract with a mechan ic to supply him with a quantity of tin cans. Not long after this the price of tin rose so much that the contractor must lose money by completing the work at tho .price agreed upon. However, he said nothing, but went on delivering the cans. When the first bill for part of the cans was received, the employer, culled upon him and said : “I understand you are losing moiujy on this Job.” “ Yes,” replied the contractor, “ but I can sUHid it; a contract is a contract, you know.” “ How much will you lose? asked the gentleman. “Oh, no matter,” was the reply; “ X don’t complain and you ought not to.” “ I insist on knowing.” “ Well, since you desire it, I shall lose so much a hundred,” mentioning the amount. “Well, .sir," said the noble-hearted man, “yoii must not lose this, it would not be right; I shall add the amount to your bill, and as the price of material may still rise, I will advance you the money for the whole of the contract which no doubt you can now use to advantage.” The-difFerence thus paid, to which the contractor laid no. claim, amounted to five hundred dollars. That was some thing more than business honesty; it was Christian principle carried out in busi ness. The world needs just such exam ples to convince it of the truth of reli gion. Music schools are great institu tions. Mr. Jiggers, knowjj in public as Signor Jiggers, got Bpld of. a pupil last week who was one horse-and a hitch strap ahead of him. « 4 What is the voice?' asked Jiggers. 1 The compound extract of wind,” ‘What is railslc?’ ‘An atmospheric banking institution which never redeems the notes it issues.' ‘ What are wind instruments ?•’ ‘Great blowers.’ 4 Name a few of them ?’ ‘ Well, bugles, sensation preachers, trombones, politicians, French horns, Gothamites, porpoises, Englishmen, clar ionets and daily papers.’ ‘ What are musical bars for?’ ‘To make a division of measures..

Jiggers put the new pupil, down for a sharp, who could B flat under any cir cumstances. —lf a man take a tenth or fifth part from his stock, to the poor, the remainder will be weightier seed for pro ducing an increase than If the whole had been untouched.

MEXICO Oi-uplile Acrmill( or Xlnxlitilllnii-M rxc (lan—Aflbccliiip Letter to C'nrloltii. [From the E*pcrnnzo t of Qucvtarn, Jinw i'll.) The delay of thirty-four days which kept our people so long* in doubt and aroused so-much excitement is thus ac counted for. The firstcoun’er that reach ed San Louis on the morning of May 19 bearing the news of the capture returned herp only oft* the 212 d, and the Emperor was at once notified that lie must appear before court-martial. Ho protested ih writing, demanding to bo tried by the as sembly, of notables who had called nim to the throne. The trial was postponed and a message sent to the President, with the'letter of protest and the documents that had been captured. Juarez’s answer was received on May 30. It was a refusal of the de mand, grounded on this incontestable fact, that the assembly of notables had not been convoked by the head of the re public; but, the President animated by a praiseworthy feeling, ottered hissafetvto the Emperor on condition of the latter taking an oath never again to tread on Mexican soil, and of his signing at the same time his own downfall. Of his own accord, Maximilian said in a loud voice that he would accept with pleasure this double condition, if the officers and soldiers captured along with him were also sot free. At that time he was igno rant of what had become of del Castillo and Avellano. Even this requirement was acceded to; but it gave rise to con ferences and negotiations that could not fall to be unsuccessful. Meantime a council of war was held on the morning of July 11. presided over bv General Corona, and composed of Gen erals Escobedo, Martinez, Ruiz and Ne grete, with two colonels. The three prisoners were brought before the tribu nal. Maximilian refused to have any counsel,; Mejia andJMiramon chose one for them both. We have not been able to got any details of that session, which lasted only about an hour. The pris oners were found guilty, and their con demnation, which was sent forward to San Louis Potosi that very day, was not returned confirmed until the morning of July 18. - It is known that the President was ail -along inclined to clemency; but our Minister at Washington, Senor Romero, •had carried the day ami secured the or der lor his execution, although full stress was laid upon the fact of the small ma jority that had voted in favor of the pris one’a guilt. soon as General Corona got posses sion of the necessary document the three prisoners were informed of their fate, but they manifested no surprise. Indeed, by this time they ITad learned what had be fallen some of comrades. THE EAST NIGHT. Maximilian requested (hat they might be allowed to remain together to ihe lust. This was kindly granted. They were transferred to the old convent., which had answered as a hospital for the French troops, ami the principal hall of which— on the ground floor—was spacious and comfortable. It was in this room that the hospital drug shop hud been kept.— The room has two windows looking out on the court-yard gardens. At one end of this* room an alter was prepared. The sentinels'had orders to Are on any one who should attempt to enter without a pass from Captain Gonzales. AAall events no one was permitted at Aim to enter but Father Fisher, secretary ami confessor to Maximilian ; Later, the Bishop of Quorctaro ottered his services, which were accepted after a short con ference between the • prisoners. They passed most of the night in conversation and in preparing themselves for death.— Mirarnon suffered a great deal from his wound in the eye, which ho kept con stantly battling with fresh water. Mejia slept soundly. At one time Maximilian asked for some •svriting materials; those were got with some difficulty, us it was in the middle of the night. He wrote twole.tters, the first in German, to the Archduchess Sophia, his mother; the other to Ins wife. He gave both lettergto the bishop, requesting hini to see that they be delivered. lie gave him also a lock of hair, which the wife of one of his guards requested per mission to cut off* herself. Before giving the lock of hair, ho kissed it, folded it up carefully, and then slipped it into the en vlope already sealed for his wife. About four o’clock Maximilian wished mass to be said, which was done by life bishop, after Mejia had been awakened. All then received conpnnnion together. After mass the Emperor remained a longtime kneeling on tire hard stones— for they had no pn'o d'ufu witli his eyes towards the ground, and his head resting on his hand in a pensive attitude. It is not known for certain whether be was praying or weeping. Miiamou was paie and downcast. Mejia seemed to be quite at ease. We must bear in mind, how- ever, that he was an Indian,‘and that ho deemed it a glory to die with his sov- ereign, W3AVINU Tit 10 I'KiriOX When 7 o'clock had struck, the music of the solemn procession was heard ap proaching, and Captain Gonzales entered the chapel with the bandages in his hand to cover the prisoners’ eyes. Mirarnon quietly allowed him to cover his eyes, but Mejia refused, and as the captain was about to take measures to oveicome his resistance, the bishop uttered something to the Indian chief, who at once became submissive. But the Emperor, advanc ing, declared that ho would notallow his eyes to be bandaged. After a few mo- ments of hesitation Gonzales saluted Maximilian witli a kind look and placed himself at the bead of the escort. The procession at once fell into line.— A squadron of lancers let! the way, fol lowed by the band, which played a* dead march. A battalion of infantry formed two lines, each four men deep, between which lines were the prisoners. When the procession reached the main door of the convent, Mejia cried out: “Sire, for the last time show us again the example of your noble courage; we follow in the footsteps of your Majesty.” Just at this moment the Franciscans were passing.— The first two bore the cross and the holy water, the remainder bore lighted tapers. Each of the three coflins was borne by four Indians, and the three black crosses, with the prisoners’ seats, were borne along at the rear. Captain Gonzales at this point made a sign to Maximilian to step out into the street. Ho obeyed, ad vancing very courageously as he said .in his brokcu-tSpanish , “ Vnuioanosa la ///>- crtatV* (Let us advance to our fredom. TIIK EXECUTION' The procession then wended its way along the Oalle del Cementerio behind the church and along the route by the aqueduct. In a short while it had the whole plain in full view, and the view from below was imposing indeed. The Emperor marched first, with the Abbe Fischer on his right, and the Bishop on his left. Behind him came Miramon, resting on the arms of two Franciscans, and Mejia supported by the two priests belonging to the parish of the Santa Cruz. When they had readied the top of the height do laCampana, Maximilian looked fixedly toward the rising sun ; then drawing from his pocket Ills watch, touched its spring and produced u mini turo likeness of the Empress Carlo! ta.— Ho brought the image toyhis lips, kiss ed it, and then handing ft,by the chain to Father Fisehcr, said : “'Carry this sou venir to Europe for my dear wife; and should she ever bo able to understand you, tell her that my eyes were closed with her likeness, which 1 will bear with me to heaven !” The point which the cortege had reached is near the big wall of the cemetery. Thebellsof thechurch cs were tolling, and the immediate wit nesses of the scene were but few, as the crowd had been kept back by thesoldiery. The three black crosses aud the pris oners’ benches were fixed agai nst the wul 1, and the three firing platoons—composed of five men each, with two under officers to each platoon in reserve for the coupe VOL 54.—N0. 7, dc r/rarc— advanced to within three paces 'of the condemned. The Emperor, when lie heard the clicking of the firelocks, thought they were about to fire, and ap proaching his two companions embraced them with touching earnestness. Mira* mon was so affected that he almost fell over on his seat, but the Franciscans stretched his arms out in the attitude of a cross. Mejia returned the Emperor’s embrace with great affection and uttered some broken words that no one could distinguish, and crossing his arms on bis breast stood nobly. The bishop, advanc ing to Maximilian, said Sire, in my person, bestow upon all Mexico the kiss of reconciliation. Let your Majesty for give all at this supreme moment.” The Emperor, agitated to the utmost, allowed the good bishop to embrace him amid the most profound silence. All of a sudden raising his voice, he cried out, “ Tell Lo pe/. that I forgive him bis treason. Tell all Mexico that I forgive her her crime.” Ho then shook hands with Abbo Fischer, who could .not utter a word from emo tion, and who then fell on his knees at tlie Emperor’s feet and shed copious tears while he kissed Maximil leu’s hand; many besides the abbo were shedding tears also. The Emperor gently withdrew his hands, and moving forward said with u sad and apparently aronie smile to the officer in command of the firing parly, A la ditijwaicion dc V (At your disposal, sir.) When the officer gave the signal for “aim,” Maximilian uttered something in Gorman which the report of the mus kets drowned to the hearers. Miramou roiled over as if struck with a bolt. Me jia, who was standing, beat the air with his hands a few times before be foil, and a shot In the car finished his pain. The Emperor fell over on the cross, which kept him up, and from which he was picked up alter having been despatched. The interment took place In the ceme tery, and the Bishop of Queretaro per formed the absolution. AFTEtt TUB EXECUTION General Corona sent for the Bishop of Queretaro, and demanded the two letters which Maximilian had given him. The one for the Archduchess Sophia was left un ouchcd, as she is the mother of the condemned Emperor, and could contain nothing dangerous. The letter to the Empress Carlotta, for grave reasons of Stale that are quite justifiable, was open ed, and a copy was taken by General Cor ona’s secretary, ft was written in French. The fobowlng is a copy: Mv HkXiOved Caui.otta; If God permit tlmt yemr health better and you should read these low lines, you will learn tho cruelly with which nuo has stricken metduco your do manure for Eu rope.

The Detroit Free Frcss % of the 6th insl gives the following singular account of a case of hydrophobia; Sixteen years ago last Wednesday, James Bay, theft a resi dentof Pontiac, was bitten by a rabid dog, hut experienced no serious effect from the bite until one year from tho day on which he was bitten. Ho then felt some symp toms of the terrible disease, which soon developed into a most frightful attack. — For six weeks he was a raving maniac, and all hopes of his recovery was aban doned, but an iron constitution and care ful nursing brought him out from the shadow of death, and ho rallied, the dis ease dually passing off. He pursued the even tenor* of his way until the second anniversary, when he was again attack ed, but with less severity than on the first occasion. The twenty-sixth day of June in each year has been the occasion of a hydrophobic lit, the iaat of which at tacked him one week ago yesterday, at Sandwich, where ho was employed as a hrickmaker. The usual symptoms wore felt during the early part of the day, and Bay requested some of his friends to tie him, in order to prevent personal injury. Being-frighteml by his peculiar appear ance. they refused to do so, and ho con tinued at his work ali day, and until mid night, his usual time forquitting. Going to a neighboring barn, he tried to sleep oll’tlie dreadful attack. Altera while his companions heard a noise in the barn, and fearing thafc'it was as Bay had de clared, went to his aid. An appalling sight greeted them. The poor victim was foaming.at tiie mouth, biting at vari ous objects, and to all appearances suffer ing the most horrible agony. As soon as he caught sight of them, with eyes glow ing like fireball*, and utteringnn unearth ly yell, he made a rush for them. The party at once retreated, leaving Bay alone in the gloomy hayloft wrought up to the ! highest pitch of manical frenzy, and bat tling with an enemy that no mortal man can subdue. lu one of his convulsions Ik* lifted a portion of the roof completely off, which evidently exhausted him, as nothing more was heard, and when his frie ds ilnally ventured to look after him, he was lound in a sound sleep. He was at once secured and taken to a safe, place, where he was kept for several hours, and he awoke nearty all traces of the previous night’s awful ex perlenee had disappeared, and, with the exception of the exhaustion produced by ids great sufferings, was as well os usual. Six Decrees of DrankcuneßH. s. The most foolish predicament a man can get into is to gel drunk. In drunk enness every man shows his strongest and most ardent passion. There are six kinds of drunkards, and if you will go into a city drinking place where there are a dozen men under the influence of liq uor, you will be sure to find those six different characters, representing differ ent animals. The first is hpe-drunk. Ho leaps, and sings, and yells, and dunces, making all sorts of grimaces, and cutting up all sorts of “ monkey shines” to excite the laugh ter of his fellow's. Terribly silly is the drunken clown. . The second is tiger-drunk. He breaks the bottles, breaks the chairs, breaks the heads of his fellow carouuers, and is full of blood a.id thunder. His eyes are flred with yengeance, and his soul rages with murderous fury. Of this sort are those who abuse their families. The third is hog-drunk. Ho rolls in the dirt on the floor, slobbers and grunts, and going into the street makes his bed in the first ditch or filthy corner hq may fall into. Ho Is heavy, lumpish and sleepy, and cries in u grunting way for a little'more to drink. The fourth is puppy-drunk. He will weep for kindness, and whine his love and hug you in his arms, and kiss you with his slobbery lips, and proclaim how much he loves you. You are the best man he eveV saw, he will lay down his money or his life for you. The fifth ia owl drunk. He is wise in lua own conceit. No man must differ with him, for his word is law. Heistruo in politics, and all matter must bo taken as authority. His arm Is the strongest, his horse the fastest, his turnips the lar gest, his town the finest of all in the land. The sixth and last animal in the men agerie is the fox-drunk. He is crafty, ready to trade horses and cheat if ho can. Keen to strike a bargain, leering around with low, cunning, peeping through eraeks, listening under the eaves, watch ing for some suspicious thing, sly as a fox, sneaking as a wolf. Ho is the mean est drunkard of all. A very good man, whose life I have read, so feared Idleness,’and valued time, that he used to bid hie servant read to him while ho was engaged Indre&ing himself.

The Logic of Early Rising.—'‘‘He who would thrive must rise at five.” So says the proverb, though there is more rhyme than reason in it 5 for If Ho who would thrive must rise at five, it must naturally fallow, He who would thrive more Must rise at four, and it will ensue, as a consequence, that He who would still more thriving bo Must leave his bed at torn of three: And who this latter would outdo, WIU rouse him at the stroke of two, ami, by the way of climax to it all, it should be held that, Ho who woald never be outdone. Must even rise os soon as ono. But the best illustration would be, Ho who would flourish best of all Must never go to bed at all.
