The water in the river is still Oiling. The banks

At 9 o'clock last evening the water at North

risen eight inches in two hours; at Huntingdon
it was rising about three inches per hour and all
along that stream, the densest fog ever known
prevailed to such an extent as to interfere with
the working of the telegraph wires.- Below the
steel works on the . Pennsylvania Central Rail
road the Susquehanna, at the same hour, was
within two feet of the trick and rising at the rate
of an inch per hour. The trains on the road were
running regularly on schedule time.
Lippincott , * Magazine for
An advance copy of Eippineotes Magazine for
April is received at this office. It is a remark
ably able number. A judicious association of
lighter and graver articles affords a bonne ballade
for (very palate. After the opening novel—the
"Dallas Galbraith" of Mrs. R. Harding Davis,
which it is no longer necessary for the reviewer
to praise—the next prose article is a second pa
'per by Prof. S. H. Dickson, on the "Correlation
of Forces." Mr. Lloyd P. Smith contributes,
under the title "Quotation Marks," a delightfu
chapter on an always charming subject, the ace'
dental or voluntary resemblances to be found be
different writers; the essay is, we will not
say the fruit but the flower, of a life's reading—
the table-talk of a confirmed book-man. "The
Situation of Europe," by Louis Blanc, is a news
letter which proves again how fortunate were the
publishers of the Magazine in securing the pen
of this first of French political critics. "Ranlock
Branch" is a tale of the war by J. T. McKay.
"Opium Eating" is the story of a 3 oung collegian
who first yielded to and finally escaped from the
tyranny of the drug; it is a useful little contribu
tion to the literature of nerve-serfdom, com
menced long ago by De Quincy. Mrs. Mary
H. Eastman follows with a short sketch of au
"Old Volunteer." Prof. John 8. Hart inserts an
able article, only too limited, presenting a picture
of the existing Common School System of New
Jersey, and calling attention to the fact that this
exceptional State has managed to steer clear of
that bane of State-education. political interference
in intellectual affairs. In "Womanhood and Chiv
alry in America," 31r. Henry Morford attempts to

quick observation, "Entermo" has produced a

Walker brings up the rear of prose articles by an
admirable study on ~ 1 1 e subject of the Excise
Taxes on our mantacturers, historical; critica;
and prophetic. Pointing out the absurd condition
to which our currency has attained—par for the
payment of a debt, but not much more than half
value when exchanged against barrels of fiour—
the Hen. Senator remarks: "A eurreny so defec
tive la doubtless a serious injury to
the • country; but &into it exists
should it not be used in paying
off as large a part of floating indebted
ness—seven-tbirties and compound interest
notes—as possible, rather than to fund them at
six per cent., geld interest?'" - The "Gossip" for
this month is extremely readable, and the "Book
Notices," among other felicitous criticisms, con
trive to introduce an eloquent and detailed de
fence of some of the, principal Philadelphia
paintersagainst the injurious neglect of a Boston
at t-critic.
Tho poetical department of the forthcoming
number includes a musical didactic poem called
"Wings"; a very beautiful pastoral poem, "An
Interlude," by 8. Emlen Randolph; and the fol

Julia Ward Rowe.
YEO3I TILE BRIDGE OF SIGIIS.
Down the tide my beauty goes,
• 'Wafted like a scentless rose ;
Dew-like on her rippling curls
Shines my gift of wedding pearls
I the torch of death must follow,
Underneath the dismal hollow,
short delaying, briefer thrift,
Biteslng told with clerkly thrift,
Naught to cheer the fainting sense
But the heart of Innocence.
Could she see where I look down,
Loathing her false Illy crown,
She would quickly flit away,
With a little coy dismay—
With a question In her smile,
If my wrath is worth the while.
Easy pardon will she gain,
Helpful church will hide the stain.
Open cunningly the door
That kept out her paramour.
I have been o'erecen, o'erheard
To pronounce a hasty word.
One in yonder council dread
Bets a price upon my head,
Wins what I fing hotly down,
Beauty shorn of Beauty's crowp,
I shall disappear, nnknelled,
In a faint remembrance a old.
Decent in her widow's weeds,
Who shall deem her husband bleeds?....
That a rival takes his place,
Soils the 'scutcheons of his race?
in this very depth of feta
Shun I shame more desperate:
Worse than any infamy
Were 't to owe my life to thee
Should the priest who hears my dui%
With his curdled face allft,
Bless in turn the wedding vows
That attach a future spouse,
What dark gift shall I bequeath
From the treasury of death? '
Such forgiveness as doth wake
Tears in God, for pity's sake,
Conquering this invited woe—
"Bo thyself, and perish so!"
MUSICAL.
ITALXAR Os ERA.—The Maretzek-Harriaon Ita
lian Opera Troupe inaugurated their brief season
at the Academy last night with the opera of
Norma. If the excellence of this pefformance is
to be accepted as an augury of the superior char
acter and the success of thew which are , yet to
come; we may justly anticipate an unusually
brilliant season. It is not extravagant to slay
that the performance last night was one of the
finest ever given in this city. The audience,
fregt_ thevery fi rst' seemed- t0.... be •Mu
absolute sy mpathy with the artists. The
opening chorus was encored, and Signor Anto
nucci, after singing the few iiptea allttfted
• Oraveso,nlh the first scene, Was applauded with
a heartiness that must have beeirvery pleasant,
partly from the fact that it was probably entirely
unexpected:, For a Philadelphia audience the
tnthusiasm was so great and so demonstrative
that the more staid opera-goers probably re
garded it as unseemly, and contrary to the cold
blooded- prteedents long ago established , and
generally adhered to. - - - - - -
It was natural that the artists should have
caught something of the spirit that existed
the house, and the consequence was that the
opera was given with the greatest daeh and
fervor. Mad. Parepa Rosa sang more exquisitely
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1868,
than ever. The Costa Diva was given with the
most wonderful precision and delicacy. The
soft fluty toms of Pampa's voice seemed to co
into every nook and corner of the melody,
and the most delicate shades of meaning wore
interpreted with matchless skill And this was
the case with all the music of the part. Without
the slightest apparent effort, but with a vivacity
that was pesitivt ly exhilarating the fair eantatrice
dashed through the notes and excited the enthu
siastic applause of her bearers. Mad. Parepa
ven acted in a better manner than is her custom.
Usually she does not excel greatly in this respect,
but it would be difficult to find any fault with
her attitudes last evening.
Madame Natal' Testa as "Adalgisa," did full
justice to the part. She seemed to throw bcr
whole soul Into the music, and she was rewarded
by applause nearly, as hearty as that which was
bestowed on Parepa. Signor Paneani as "P 01110,"
did excellently well. He gave the music of the
part entire, and he sang it with precision, care,
and spirit. The chorus was very large and well
trained, and the orchestra was excellent. This
evening-free Diavolo will be given with Madame
Parepa Rosa as "Zerlina." A very fine perform
ance may be anticipated : and we recommend
every one to attend.

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.'
Tha Paris correspondent of the London Daily
Neill, writing on Feb. 29, says: Baron de Bud
berg, the Russian Ambassador, who has just re
turned to Paris from St. Petersburg, after a long
come. narrowly escaped assassination in the re
freshment room of the Verviors station in Bel
gium. While at table, Baron de Meyen
dorff, son of a celebrated Russian diplo
matist, came up to him and said, "Bon Jour,
Baron?" "What, are you here?" replied Baron de
Budberg, who evidently knew him. An alterca
tion followed In the Russian language, and after
the lapse of a few seconds, Baron de Meyendorff
struck Baron de Budberg In the face, and was in
the act of drawing a sword from a stick to as
sault him, when M. Beckmann, a writer on .She
staff of the Temps, who saw the movement, •
rushed upon. him and snatched the sword-cane
from his hand. Thereupon Baron de Meyendorff
drew a revolver from his pocket and leveled it at
the Russian Ambassador. The latter exclaimed,
"Secure him, he is a madman." A waiter at,
the buffet, with much presence of mind, took
away the Mato), and the Baron do Moyendortf
was taken into custody by the police. It seems
that some time ago the Baron had sent a chal
lenge to a French gentleman, who refused to
fight him because Baron do Budberg had certified
that he was not in his right senses. Desiring to
avenge himself on the Russian Ambassador for
this slight, Baron de Meyendorff had laid in wait
for him at the Belgian frontier for a whole fort
night. The affair, which Is recounted to me by
an eye-witness, is yet imperfectly known in

A Belga of Terror—A Chapter of nor.
der, Lynching and Robbery.
[Corteepondence of the N. Y. World.]
Di2svEll. Colorado, Feb. 21.—The comparative
moral quietude which Denver has for along time
past enjoyed has been seriously disturbed during
the past week by the perpetration of several
clinics which tend to bring back to the 'old in
habitants thoughts of the early days of the
city, when life and property were both so
precarious. We thought when the city was
once rid of that class of men who "defy God
:aid limn" and set at defiance all laws, divine and
human, that we should not be troubled again.
but that the newly-organized towns throughout
the country would absorb them, and they be
thus lost sight of. This class of outlaws inva
riabh flocks to the places where there is great
excitement and a comparative lack of law and
order. Thns It was when Denver first began
to have a localbabitation; so more recently
with Juleslittrg;_ so with the "magic city" of
Cheyenne, which, like a mushroom,
sprang up in the night. For several months the
papers have been filled with accounts of crimes
ainft the OM
laws at last becoming so bold and dangerous, a
vigilance committee was organized, which made
summary work with a few, and gave to Many
others notice to leave that territory in:garden It
was feared that many of them would come back
to this city, and commence their work of plunder
in this vicinity. It appears the suspicions were
well grounded, and that Denver has received her
share.
Last Mondey_, a:conple of worthies, formerly in
the employ of Welle, Fargo•Ss Co..' at Cheyenne,
after sojourning in this city a few days, passed
into the country towards the South. They tra
veled two or three days, stopping at night with
various ranchemen on the route, who fed them
and gave them beds. At last they stopped with
an old elan named Hull, who supplied their
wants, and, in the morning,as they were about to
leave, loaded their pistols for them. Instead of
leaving, they hid on the table-land, according to
their confessions, and discussed whether it were
not better to kill the old man and secure his horse
and what little money he might have. According
ly, at about eight o'clock that night, they made a
descent upon his house, and killed him, empty
ing the entire contents of one revolver into his
body. One of the men became frightened, ran
to a neighbor's, about half a mile distant,
and giving himself up, told the story of the

Sudden Illness 'of the Empetor Na.

The Paris correspondent of the London Daily
News,
writing on the evening of Feb. 28, eays:
"On Wednesday evening, at about 5 o'clock.
the Emperor was suddenly seized with a
violent asthmatic • attack. Ills diffi
culty of breathing was so great that it
was thought desirable to take him to an open
window looking on the Tuileries. The crisis
passed off, and His Nile - Sty is now in his usual
health." Writing on Saturday evening. our Paris
correspondent adds: "The Emperor is not yet
well enough to go out. He has had frequent at
tacks of short breathing since the one I have al
ready mentioned. Dr. Corvisart is in attendance,
and the members of the 'Medical Cabinet' were
ordered yesterday not to be absent a moment."

He was arintd with a Henry rifle, and shot freely
at ei cry one who came within range. Refusing
to halt when ordered by the officers, they "took
him on the wing," the ball passing through his

his accomplice, is still in Central. He will be
tried at the text term of Court. When arrested,
threats of lynching were freely expressed by the
crowd, and it is a great wonder they escaped the
rope.
The sooner the country Is rid of this class of
persons the better. The experience of 1860, and
a few years later, when so much villainy ran riot
hcre, has taught the people that the best and
surest way to check the progress of wholesale
murder and robbery is to hang the perpetrators
to the nearest tree. It has the effect of making
others cautious in the future, as the swinging
body of a victim is a terrible warning, and they
have no particular penchant for halters.
Strange Suicide In Baltimore.
(From the Baltimore Sun of March 17.3
A ease of suicide, causing great excitement,
occurred yesterday afternoon at the Male Gram
mar and Primary School No. 15, on Republican
street, near Saratoga. From tho facts learned it
appears that a lad named Arthur Campbell,
aged 14 years, son of Mr. Charles Campbell, who
is in the employment of Thomas Winans, Eag,
was a pupil of the above-mentioned_public
school. For some reason he had fallen under the
displeasure of his teachers, resulting, as is al
leged, in his dismissal. Ho was again received.
Into the school, and, by way of punishment for
his transgression, he was, ills stated, not allowed
to play with his schoolmates.
Ile told one of the female teachers of his feel
ings in the matter, threatening, as it is alleged,
to kill himself if denied the privilege of playing
with his schoolmates. No notice was taken of
his remarks, and yesterday afternoon, es one of
the little children of the school went into the
yard, lie found the hodv of yOLIDg Campbell sus
pended by the neck in a shed in the yard attached
to the school. The boy ran into the school-room
and informed one of the lady teachers, who at
first thought nothing of it. She afterwards, how
ever, informed the principal, Mr. J. S. Arthur,
who went into - the shed, where he found
the boy hinging by the neck, with his
knees resting on the ground. Re was
immediately cut down, but life was extinct. The
startling news spiead like wildfire among the
scholars, numbering some two or three hun
dred, and occasioned great excitement. The
schools were dismissed, and Sergeant Handy, of
the western district police, with a force of men,
was promptly at the scene, and succeeded in al
laying •tbe excitement. Coroner Greentree was
notified, and summoned a jury of inquest, which,
after bearing some testimony, adjourned to meet
at eight o'clock this morning. The body of the
ill-fated lad was removed to his parents' resi
dence:, No. 17 South Fremont street.

k Michael Donnelly vs. John Smith. An action
to recover damages for an alleged malicious pro
secution. The plaintiff complains that he was
arrested upon the oath of the defendant, charged
with receiving stolen goods, when, in fact,
there was no probable cause for %the complaint.
On trial.
QUARTER SESSIONS - Jndge Peirce. -- John
Struthers, colored, was put on trial charged with
perjury. The charge grew out of the following
state of affairs : The defendant enlisted in a regi
ment cf colored troops, and was stationed at
Camp William Penn, then under tho command of
General Louis Wagner. At the close of the war,
when the defendant was discharged, he caused
suit to be brought in the District Court, in the
name of his brother, alleging that General Wag
ner took from him at camp a gold watch which
had been entrusted to the defendant by his sister
to be delivered to his brother, the plaintiff In this
action. The defendant was a witness In the
District Court, swearing to the possession
of the watch, and that General Wagner took it
from him at camp and did not return it. The
jury returned a verdict for plaintiff. After the
verdict, General Wagner ascertained from the
sister of the defendant that she did not give him
a watch, and the plaintiff himself disclaimed all
knowledge of the case. A now trial was granted,
but owing to the failure of the plaintiff to come
forward and prosecute his case, a non-suit was
rendered. The present charge of perjury grows
out of that case. It was not concluded.

It Is generally given out that the Duke wants the

thousand pounds sterling by his bete during the
last sporting season, it will bo allowed that he re
