complete victory for the Americana.
Anotueu Prize l'ijiht ha3 disgraced
the country. This time it occurred near

cie, custom funds.
The McFarlaxd trial has at last
ended, resulting as nearly all murder tri
als do in New York, in a verdict of ac
quittal. It is not yet known who Mc
Farland's next victim w'.ll be, but as he
now lias a license to kill, it is fair to pre
sume lie may take vengeance on some
juore of his enemies.
PuniNa the past week considerable
trouble has occurred in France. In quite
a number of instances the citizens erects
od barricades in the streets of Paris, and
in several instances the troops had to use
fire-arms before the people were driven
away. Though the election resulted in
quite a large majority in favor of the Em
peror, yet it also showed that a very large
number of discontented people were ac
tively at work against him.
In the House of Representatives a
Special Committee are maturing a bill
giving a subsidy of three millions of dol
lars to five Steamship Companies. One
to run from Boston and Portland to Eu
rope; another from New York; another
Philadelphia and Haltimoro ; one from
New Orleans to Vera Cruz and Brazil,
and one from San Francisco to China and
Japau, but not to exceod three hundred
ihousand dollars per annum, and all ser
vice to bo done by the companies making
the best propositions to the Government,
and to receive full rates for all mail mat
ters. A Suit has been commenced in Balti
more, by the State of Maryland, against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, to recover the value of gold over
currency, in which the State has been
paid its six per cont. interest on divi
dends guaranteed by the Company on pre
ferred stock owned by the State, at pres
ent amounting to nearly twenty millions
.of dollars.
The claim is "based -on tho recent decis
ion of tho United States Supremo Court,
that all contracts for money made prior to
tho date of the Legal Tender act of 18G2,
are payable in gold.
J6f3yTho good people of Savannah
have had a scare, tho like of which they
havo not experienced since that great
military lion, General Sherman, went
roaring through tho country " seeking
whom he might devour." A lion and li
ouess lately escaped from tho museum
-aud (traversed Hull street, creating a stir
.anion"; pedestrians quite unusual. His
majesty was soon captured and taken
home, but his royal consort, terribly
frig.hteued by tho pursuing crowd, leaped
a feuoe, and took refuge in a neighboring
kitchen, to the dismay and scatcermcnt
of the sarvaots. The keeper soou arrived
and Ly mcaim of kind words and a rope,
succeeded in bringing her back.

is reported as producing fully one hun

hi built during the next fortnight.
Attacked by Roughs.
Last evening about nine o'clock, as a
gentleman from Mcchanicsburg, Cumber
land county, was passing down Raspberry
alley, and when near the corner of Straw
berry and Raspberry alley, ho was accos
ted by two men, one of whom seized hold
of his coat, and then said, ''I beg your
psvdon." The gentleman replied it was
not nceccssary, when the rough again
caught hold of him and said, " Lend mo
five dollars." The stranger replied, " I
don't know you, and have not five dollars
nbout me." " Well," said the other,
" give me all you have." The gentleman
from Meehauiesburg said, " All right ;
I will ;" and with that drew back and
struck the would-be robber a blow under
tho chin that sent him reeling across the
alley, when his companion started off on
a ruu. Tho straugcr, thiuking he had
gone to bring his friends to attack him,
thought it was not wholesome for him to
remain, and went into the European ho
tel, iu Brant's building, and after bathing
his hand, accompanied by Mr. Davis,
proceeded to the alley, but both of the
scoundrels were non vrt. In a short time
the gentleman discovered that his hand
was swelling rapidly ,and upon calling on a
physician ascertained that he had broken
two of his knuckles in defending himself.
His hand was properly cared for. The
gentleman stated that lie had traveled con
siderably, and had visited large cities, but
was never molested until he was attacked

A correspondent writes to the Fiffvro
as follows: Your correspondent, Adrien
Mark, in an article on the artit Bouvin,
relates that Baron James do Rothschild
once sat for a beggar to Ary Schelrcr.
This is perfectly true, and I writo to
complete the tale. While tho great fi
nancier, attired in the rags of a beggar
was in his place on the Estrade, I hap
pened to enter the studio of tho great
artist, whose friend I had the honor to be.
Tho Baron was so perfectly disguised
that I did not recognise him, and believ
ing that a veritable beggar was before
me, I went up to him and slipped a louis
infci his hand.
The pretended model took the coin
and put it into his pocket. Ten years
later I received at my residence an order
on tho office in the Rue Lafitte for ten
thousand francs, inclosed in the following
letter : " Sir You one day gave a louis
to Baron Rothschild in the studio of Ary
Schcffer. Ho lias employed it, and to
day sends you tho little capital with which
you intrusted him, together with its in
terest. A goodaetiun always brings good
fortune. Aaron James Do Rothschild."
On receipt of this order I sought the
millionaire, who proved to me from the
books before him that under his manage
ment my louis had actually fructified so
as to have swelled to tho large sum sent
me.
Mountains on Fire.
Thousands of acres of woodland have
been burning in Ulster and Orange
counties, New York, for a week past.
The forests that cover tho Shawangunk
range have been destroyed. A single
one of the owners has lost, in tho burning
of 100 cords of cut wood anil growing
timber, $1800. Men arc fighting the
fires all along the range. The heavy
clouds of smoke that hover over the val
ley and cling to tho mountain side, and
tho lines of ilamo present a magnificent
spectacle. At Greenfield Briggsville,
and Oak Ridge the devastation has been
unprecedented. Persons interested in
tho huckleberry crop fire the woods to
promote the growth of tho berry, which
furnishes them a livelihood.
Bad Practice. You might as well
expect to relievo and cure an inflamed
eye by dusting irritating powders into it,
as to expect to subdue and cure Catarrh
which is an inflammation of the mu
cous membrane of the air passages in the
hcad-by tho use of irritating snuffs or
strong, caustic solutions. Dr. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy cures Catarrh by its mild,
soothing action, which subdues tho inflam
mation and restores tho natural sojcretion
of the mucous follicles. Tho proprietor,
R. V. Pierce, M. 1)., of Buffalo, offers
$500 for a case of Catarrh that ho cannot
cure. Sent by mail ou receipt of sixty
cents. Address the proprietor as above.

IJcessemcr Steel.
Accoiding to a Washington letter, the
following is tho method by which it is
made :
" Bessamcr, or Beessemer, was a Prus
sian, who startled the manufacturing
world in 18o7 by discovering a new pro
cess of purifying pig iron and mukitig
bar iron and steel of it by asimplo pneu
matic process. He inclosed tho crude
liquid metal in a hugo ladle and blew
upon it a violent blast of hot air whoso
oxygen gurgled through tho molten iron
and carried off the carbon and other im
purities ; this produced fine metal, which
was-agaiu passed in a puddling furnace
with frequent nozzles on both sides
through which air and steam were both
driven, to carry off the remaining im
purities. Thirty-five minutes by this
process will convert the liquid pig metal
to steel, whereas the old method of ma
king steel was shiw primitive and labori
ous. Bessenier's discoveries were accept
ed by all the great industrial nations,
and as patents in Europe are not pro
tected as long as with us, the patent soon
expired abroad. At present therefore,
all Europe is making steel rails by Besse
nier's process."
