Dillingham con fesses that he first shot and tiien out raged his sunt. The officials have taken him to the Portsmouth jail. Mrs. Dil lingham died to-night. The Blae In Paper. Washington, Feb. 10. Paper men are actively righting Fort's bill. They say that it is true that printing paper had ad- vancea iu to ou per cent, in ix to eigne months. The causes they insist is, that the price ot domestic colored rags has in creased from one and three-fourths to three and three-fourths cents per pound. Rags had never been so low as thev were six months ago when rags of the best quality could be purchased at one and a half cents per pound. This price was not sufficient to induce persons . to save and sell razs or pav for their collection. Con sequently the stock was very low, and when tne ousiness revival pecan ana paper was demanded by all reviving in duatriea naner dealers were without anv stock and the price immediately ad vanced in this country and Lurope. Ca blegrams have been received from Euro pean dealers within a weeit, oiaenng their agents here not to sell another pound of rags, as the price of paper is rap luiy auvsDcing mere, aouuici eaune is the rise in the price of bleaching powder. Eighteen months ago it could be pur chased at one cent per pound: now it is two cents. The same is true of soda, ash and of caustic soda, the principal chemi cals used in the manufacture of paper, Bleaching powder is on the free list, so that it is not a question of tariff ns to that article, the price ot domestic alum, an other important chemical nsed in makin? paper, has not materially advanced. Labor bas also advanced somewhat Cenaa Supervisors. Washixgeon, Feb. 10. In executive session last evening the census committee reported adversely on certain nomina tions of census supervisors, including some southern ones. Major Reno'a Case. Major Reno has sent a very nrgent letter to the president asking permission to resien his commission in the army rather than suffer dismissal. Accom panying the decision of the court was recommendation for mercy, signed by all its members, and as Reno has been eallant soldier, and as his offenses have been attributed to intoxicating liquors, the president is disposed to give nim the privilege of resigning in order to save liis record. The president is very tender hearted about these matters. Not long ago he allowed Lieutenant Jerome, of the seventh cavalry, to resign, wnen ne naa been sentenced to dismissal by a court martial, and will probably do the same in the Keno case. Fire at San Jose, San Jose, California, Feb. 10. Soon after 2 o'clock this morning the stato normal school was discovered to be in flames. Fire was first noticed in the cu pola, which before the engines arrived was a pyramid of flame rising in the still t . r rpL. a :....,) :.i t , ulgui Sir. ins ure gaiucu iaJiu uduu- wav. and the water pressure was so weak that the firemen were delayed in getting an efficient stream, wuuin iiueeu min utes after the flames were first seen pour ing from the cupola the whole interior of me central paruun ui tue uuuuiug was filled with flames, roaring and cracking like an immense fa mace, the south wing of the building rapidly became in volved. and the flames were soon sweep ing through the entire building, except the north wing. 1 he roof tell in with tremendous crash, and in a little while beams and girders began to drop from their resting places and in a very brief space of time the whole building was in ruins.

The interior was divided into class and recitation rooms, music room, mu seum, laboratory and apparatus room society rooms, gymnasium and lecture room. etc. The building cost $280,000, There is some reason to believe that the fire was of incendiary origin. A fam ilv residing in the rear of the school, re port being awakened by two explosions in quick succession, and upon getting np and looking out seeing tne enure cupoi inflames. Others assert that the chimney flues of the building were defective from the time they were put in, when the bnildinz was constructed.

A thorough canvass of the hotels clearlv reveals that the statement recently telegraphed hence to the enect that prices were being raised enormously for the week of the Republi can national convention is entirely un founded.

Evert SU JoliuJ general passenger agent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa cific Railroad, notifies roads leading west from Chicago, that since they are selling tickets from Kansas City to Colorado points at usually and unreasonably low figures, the Rock Island will make no further attempts to restore rates, and will not be represented at to-morrow's meet ing, which was called tor that purpose.

Suspicion of foul play being strong, the son was arrested charged with poison' ing bis father by adniintistering prussic acid. The symptoms, circumstances and the finding of the deadly drug in the pos session of the son, go to prove that the old man was poisoned.

The Irlah famine. New York, feb. 13. The Herald this morning says: We regret to say that as yet no returns have been made by a large n u inner ot gentlemen and firms to whom the HerauCi Irish famine blanks were in trusted. In a great many instances we know these blanks contain the names of persons who in the aggregate have subscribed a good ueai ot money ana we are aware that they are held back in order that their custodians who are so generously co-operating with tbe Herald may be able to make as good a showing as possible in print. Their mo tive is exceedingly creditable, but we are suie they will not misinterpret our mean ing when we say they are unwittingly put ting back the cause thev so heartily hope to advance. The Herald Will esteem it a great favor on the part oi these gentle men it they win make tbe returns as early as possible to-morrow. The news paper editors and other gentlemen in out side towns and cities who are so nobly aiding the Herald will also place ns under obligations u tney win lorward us their subscriptions and subscription list at tbe same time.

LiOUISville, reo. i;j. xtie intense ex citement was created here by tbe an' nonncement that a consolidation or con tract for five years has been entered in be tween the Louisvilie & Nashville and Georgia Central roads. Each end of the combination is to conduct its affairs in its own way. The aim of it is to give through bills of lading from St. Louis to New York and Liverpool and from Louisville and Nashville to the same points. The com bination can carry freights that will be ruinous to northern trunk lines, it ex pects to have a large part of the grain that goes from Chicago to New York and Liverpool by the northern route to take the southern route. It has large steamers plying between f-avannah and Mew York, and ocean freights are not only cheaper than rail rates but cheaper than lake rates. It will be a strike for a -great part of tbe eastern business, and it will make rates that will bring it to a great part of the western business. Indeed, nearly every article that Lonisvelle now imports will come by wav of Savandab, Atlanta and Nashville. Railroad Matters. Chicago, Feb. 13. The general passen ger agents of the principal western roads centering here, met hern to-day with rep resentatives of the Fort Wayne and Wabash roads to adjust rates.

Company is offering through rate of $75 cabin and $35 steer age, ana paying nve dollars each com mission to hotels, etc. Shall I say to Goodman that the Central Pacific may make such rates as may be necessary to hold the business, and that you willshare tne reduction on tre basis of the present proportion. 1. L. KIMBALL. General Passenger Agent, U. P. R. R, After a full dlscusMon the roads lead roe west from here sent tbe following "The lines east of Lansas City and Omaha win accept, a pro rata per mile upon any rate which the Central Pacific makes, to meet rates maae oy tue racinc Mail Com oanv to aew York, provided thn ti-tot. are limited to one day beyond the actual schedule time, and to be sold at tariff rates with a drawback on New York to the amount of reduction." This answer was probably entirely satisfactory to th A 1 T" TT 1 .1 a . central jrauue. u naer tne riciprocal ar rangement the Central Pacific proposed that the latter road would get a much larger tans than nnder the one to which the answer refers.

On ordinary days he wor- one of the uniforms of bis sruard but be had decreed, for himself and his two colleagues, that on all occasions of grand ceremonial each should wear a red coat, made in Winter of velvet, in Sum mer of some other material, and em broidered in sold. The two consuls, Cambaceres and Lebron, elderly, pow dered and welt Bet np, wore this gorgeous coat with lace, ruffles and a sword, after tbe old fashion of full dress; but Bona parte, who detested all such adornments, got rid of them as much as possible His hair was cot short, smoothed down, and eenerallv ill arranged. With his crimson and-gold coat he would wear a black cra vat, a lace frill to bis shirt, bat no sleeves ruffles. Sometimes he wore a white vest embroidered in silver, but more fre quently bis nniforn waistcoat, bis uniform sword, breeches, silk stociunirs ana boots This extraordinary costume and bis small stature gavs him the oddest possible ap pearance, which, however, no one ven tnred to ridicule. When he became Em' oeror. he wore a richlv-laced coat, with a short cloak and a plumed bat; and this costume becams mm very wait. Did von ever notice that the man who calls a baby "a brat" never knows as much in a week aa a ten-pound baby does in a minute. Susie's Gift. The days were growing dark for George Graham. His studious habits had re sulted in an affection of the eyes that threatened to grow serious. This was bis last term of school, and if he passed his examination creditably, he was to have a place in Solomon Grant's store, with wages that would not only take ears of himself, bat greatly help his mother. His mother was a widow, and George's love for her was a sort of passion of devo tion. He was very fond of Susie Hale bat Susie was only a nice girl to him a dear, sweet, good girl, such as any fellow would like; but bis mother was the ladv to whom was due his love, his care, his uttermost dnty. The plans he made in life were all for his mother's sake. What if this growing dizziness about him was to increase until all was dark? What if he mast be no help to his moth er, but only a burden on her foreverf His scholarship had been so fine that his tutor hesitated to reprove h's now continual failures; and George said noth ing of the increasing darkness aronnd him to bis mother, for ho felt that it wonld break her heart; nothing to teach er or schoolmates, for it seemed to him that his grief would be nothing to them. Bnt one afternoon the crisis came. No one who was present that day not even the smallest child will ever forget the look of wild despair that swept over George Graham's face, or the gesture of helpless anguish with which be stretched' ont his hands, as if to seek among them all some friend, as he cried: "God help me, I have been going' blind, and now I cannot see one figure in ' my book!" There was a silence after this; and there came no sound but the audible beating of George Graham's tortured, despairing heart. . j Then the master sent away others, for school hours were nearly over, and tried his best to comfort his stricken pupil. The words of the teacher entered his ears, but they did not reach bis heart or kindle his hope. As soon as he could he went away. He did not go straight home. How could he fane his mother and tell her what be must tell her now? He sat down on a bank a little removed from the roadside, a bank which over hang a swift, deep, yet narrow stream. An awiui temptation came over him. To be sure, to die wonld be to leave his mother to fight bar battle of life alone; but also it wonld relieve her from the heavy burden he must needs be to her if be lived. The river rushing down there below invited him with bis murmur. He bent forward over the stream. Then he drew back, for a longing came over turn to go name nrst and see his mother just once more. See here! What am I talking about ? Do I not know I shall never see her again?" And a girl s voice, soft and tender, an unexpected voice, answered him: xes, you will see her again. Surely you will see her again!" The boy turned his face toward the sound. "How did you come here. Susie Hale?" be asked. "Don't be angry, George." the erentle voice entreated. "I waited for yon. I could not go home until I had told you now sorry 1 was, and tried to comfort you. You must take heart and try to be cured. I have known people who could not see at all to be helped, and why not your At least you muBt try. An evil mood was upon George Gra ham, and he answered harshly: "Where is the money to come from. if you please? It has been all mother conld do just to live, and she straggled on with the expectation of my being able soon to help her. She has no money for experiments. There is noth ing for it bat lor me to rest a dead weight upon her ban Is or die." "xoa believe in God, George Graham. and yon will not defy him. If he means you to bear this, you will bear it like a man, and not try to get rid of the bur den, just now, it seems to me. you ought to go home. Wonld you like your mother to hear this from some one else? He rose slowly. "You are right," he said, "and you are a good girl. Good-bye, Susie." bhe did not try to go with him: she followed him only with her eyes. His mother met him at the Rate. When she took his hand in hers the poor fellow felt that she knew all. She was very quiet and sell-controlled. "lour tutor has been here, she said. and has told me. My darling, why have yon sat in the darkness, and shut your mother out from any share in your trouble?" Oh, I couldn't tell you, mother." he sobbed, "I couldn't. I thought it would break your heart. Meanwhile, Susie Male had gone home full of an absorbing purpose. somehow money must and should be raised to try what a skillful occulist could do for Gearge Graham. Susie was the orphan niece of Solomon Grant. She knew that she had a modest little fortune of her own, but it was all in her uncle's hands, and without his consent she could not dispose even of her Bmall income. But would he not be persuaded to let ber have enough of her own money to accomplish her desire? , . .. . she asked him, using her utmost cow er of persuasion to touch his heart, bat he retused wnn peremptory decision. Susie had in the world one treasure, i diamond ring, which had been her moth' er's, with a stone, white and clear as i dewdrop. i This mast, she knew, be worth hun dreds, s It was ber own. She had meant to keep it all her life. for her mother's sake, but surelv this great neea oi u-eorge uranam s justified her in partins? with it. She had one friend in whose good faith and judicious management she felt im plicit confidence, and to him she sent her mother's ring, with the request that ha would sen it as speedily and on aa good terms as possible, and remit her the price of it in bank notes, and keep for her the secret that Bhe had disposed of it. It was a week after George Graham naa given np nope, when a most nnei pec ted nope came to him. A neighbor, going by from tbe post office, handed in at the door a letter ad dressed to him. Mrs. Graham onenad it "George,' she cried, after a moment. in an eager, tremblinjr Yoioe. "hera aro one hundred dollars, and that is the let ter that comes with them: "This money is from a true friend of George Graham's and is to be annlind tn taking him to an oculist, in tha hops that bis sight may! be restored. Tha Hvr withholds his name, both because he de serves no thanks, and because be wishes to make tha return of tha money impos sible." "It is from Heaven iteelf," the mother cried. "George, I feel it in my soul that ;wu are w oe enna. The next day the mother and her blind son sought rooms at a quiet little house in the city, and the day after that they were among tne earliest patients oi .voo tor Annesly. ; i Tha first nTatninalinn nf CUioraa't, eves were unpromising enough, and t'ae doc tor wanted to soe nim daily. There were weary day and weeks that followed, and it was curious that, tbe mother was always hopeful and the son always despairing. At last it almost irritated him to bear ber speak of hope to him, and one day he rarnea on ner wita tne nrst burst ox pas sionate impatience she bad ever experi enced irom turn. "Mother," be said, "for the Iots of heaven do not talk to me as if it was a sore thing that I am going to sea again. I want to think it doubtful, almost impossible. If you should make me expect a cure, and then it should not come, don't yon see that I should go mad? I think I should dash my ead against the wall. I can only live by expecting nothing.'' After that the mother held her peace, bnt whenever she went out of that darkened room, those who saw her marveled at the light of joy ia ber eyes.-"-'" k At last the time came: the bandage was removed, there was just one wild cry: - ; Mother. I see vou!" and then Georra lay at the doctor's feet, swoonino- m his great joy. it was weeks before be went home again, bat the good news preceded him... ;.' The mother wrote to Solomon Grant who had agreed to keen tbe place c-nen while awaiting the result of the exper iment. ' - (; Solomon read the letter in full fam ily conclave. He little knew how bis niece longed to snatch the paper from his hand and read it for herself; nor did he heed the tears that swam in her dark eyes, tears of such deep, un selfish joy as only a loving woman knows. . Another letter came afterwards to tell when the widow and her son were to return. It was Susie who waked over earlv in the afternoon, carrying with ber a basket of dainties for the traveller's supper. busies bla k eves dans!, anil thn heart sank within her as she set tha table in the little parlor, and lighted a mo iii ub utcnen stove, ready to make a rresn cup of tea whenever the widow and her son should arrive.

I only know that that night, for tbe first time in bis life, it dawned upon nun inat anotner woman might some day dispute with bis mother the em pire of his heart. ISut it was not until five rears af terwards, when Mr. Grant had taken him into partnership, and Mr. Grant's niece, Susie, had become bis wife, that George Graham ever guessed from whose tender hands had come the sift by means oi which he had been re stored fd hope and happyiess.

"I wish I didn't have to get np so soon ! wish the fire would make itself, and a Pitcher Fairy would bring the water from the spring, and a Broom Fairy would sweep the kitchen and grind the coffee, ana a goou ttrownie would bring ns a lovely breakfast already cooked! I'm tired or sifting cinders and washing disne. 1 wish I was a lady, like Miss Antasia!" But she wasn't a lady, and Pitcher Fairies and Brownies didn't grow in her neighborhood; so little Nan bad to shake off her sleepiness, and jump up to ber work. i ne sun was just com inn up over the edges of the rosy clouds; the robin" and tbe orioles were singing with all their might; tbe morning glories bad hune out a thousand pink and purple and speckled bells, to welcome the sunshine, and the pinks and mignonette in tbe garden were sparkling with dewdrops. How sweet they smelled, and how lovely everything was in the cool, fresh, beautiful morning.! Little Nan came back from tbe spring with her cheeks like roses and ber eyes as bright as stars.. She danced about ber work as lightly as any Broom Fairy ever did; and the fire was made, the breakfast cooked for grandmother, and the dishes washed up afterward, long before Miss Antasia raised ber drowsy head from her great soft feather pillows. When she did the sun was streaming across her bed, hot and bright. The flowers on her dressing-table drooped in the heat; the dew was dried up on the roses outside. Miss Antasia yawned and stretched her self. "O, dear, how hot it is ! How tire some to have to get np and dress one's self! I won't do it. I'll have my break fast in bed." And so she lounecd amonorst her nil- lows, and drank her coffee, and nibbled at her toast, and had no appetite, and complained of tbe heat, and sighed and fretted like a person oppressed with wiet.

His rule had been to eat them nrst and look them over after ward. He now observed that bis com panion was twice as handsome as he was. and the fact rankled in his jealous mina. ne forgot mat ne nad been dioer- enuy graded bv nature in tne besinnins. snd he began casting about to see bow he could get even. He finally made no bis mind that it was the boy's red coat that mane an the dinerence, and so ne c lessly observed : - i don't suppose vou'd like to cart with tbatold patched coat of yours, would you?" i ne boy was np to string games and balloon ascensions, and closed with an offer to lend the wolf his coat for a week if tbe latter would guide him to a den where three young foxes could be secured. As soon as tbe wolf secured the coat be wrapped it around him and declared tbe truce between the wolves and the boys at an end. That had been his little game from tbe start. Sounding bis war-howl, tbe wolf summoned bis friends to help make bologna of poor Tom, but, as the eager brutes came up, they went for the red coat and the bov went for a tree. No wolf bas any business wearing a boy's outfit, even if it would add to bis beauty, and this one was soon clawed into bag-atrings, and bis bones bang on a iack-pine for the wind to fool witb.

The Brig Somerg. la November, 1842, occurred one of tho most noted mutinies in the his tory of the American navy While in mid-ocean the officers of the Uni. ted States brig-of-warSomersdiscov. ered that a conspiracy existed on board the vessel to murder them selves and turn tho vessel into a privateer for the purpose of piracy; bat the ring-leaders were discovered and executed and the crime frus trated. The leader in tbe affair was Philip Spencer, son of the Hon. J. C. Spencer, the distinguished statesman of New York, then Secretary of War in tho Cabinet of. President Tyler. On account ot the prominence thus given . the event, the ; mutiny was everywhere a topic . of discussion, and reviews of the case were writ ten by a number of noted men, in cluding J. Pen i more Cooper. The Cleveland Zcader thus tells the story from tbe lips of one of tbe crew: Captain William Boffington, well known along tbe lakes and who last season sailed the schooner Pelican, was one of the crew of the Somers. He was visited at bis residence on the Detroit road, yesterday after noon, by a Leader reporter, and re lated tbe story, though modestly Pre ferring -not to bare anything publish ed as coming from him. At the time ot the mutiny Captain Baffinmon was eighteen or nineteen years of age, and many of tbe facts hare es caped his memory. The Somers sailed from New York for Liberia, Africa, witb dispatches, but was obliged to put back on account of j insumcioncy of crew, and other sea- j men were obtained from the receiv ing ship North Carolina, Mr, Buffing- ton oeing a member ot the second crew. On the return from Liberia, before reaching St. Thomas, where it was the intention to stop and take on coal and provisions, : word - was brought to Captain Alexander Slidell Mackenzie, the commander of the Somers, that a conspiracy existed to capture the vessel and take her to the Isle of Pines, where she wonld be joined by a Mexican pivateer, and the two would commence a career of piracy.-'' In those days, comparatively few steamers sailed the ocean, and of coarse the security of the pirates was much better than it wonld be at present. Wr. Wales, the steward of the brig, was first brought tbe affair to notice. On the night of Novem ber 25th, Mr. Wales was asked by Spencer, who was a midshipman, to go alolt with him to the rigging, where he wanted to converse with him confidentially. ; When alone the midshipman accosted ales with, a question: "Do you fear death: do you fear s dead man ; are you afraid to kill a man I -Somewhat sur prised, though still cool and collect ed, the steward listened attentively to what followed, taking the oath of secresy imposed upon him by spencer. The latter then nntolded tho plan for tbe mutiny, stating that it was written out on paper and then under bis collar, back of bis cravat, and be would show it in the morning when it was tight so as to read it Twenty of the crew, he claimed, were leagued with him, and the mur der of tbe captain and the officers of the vessel would be an easy matter. When fully apprised of what bad taken place, Captain Mackenzie or dered a strict watch kept of tbe movements of Spencer. In a day or two the Captain encountered Spencer on deck, and asked him what be meant by such talk to Wales, but tbe young man explained it was an joke, and no barm intended. The written plot was demanded, but Spencer denied its existence, and careful search of his person failed to disclose it. It was found, however, secreted in Spencer s razor case, written in tbe Greek language; but one oi tho otneers understood tne characters and translated them into English. The names of tbe number of the crew were written who wonld be given a chance to "walk tbe plank" that is, bo dropped over board and others who were to be given their choice between compul sory service as pirates, or a watery grave. r.Urom well, tbe boatswains mate, and Elisba bmall, a seaman from Boston, were also arrested they being frequently discorered in conversation with Spencer. The three were doable-ironed and taken below. They were speedily tried by court-martial and found guilty, the sentence being that tbe prisoners be executed from tho yardarm. I hey were brought np on the, morning of .November ZDth lor execution, smau was unmoved and asked his mates to give him a good jerk, so as to make sure, but Spencer was quite broken down. He was exhorted by Captain Mackenzie to set his companions a good example by brarely dying, the remark having the uesirea enecs. Cantain Mackenzie briefly addressed tho condemned upon the enormity of their crimo. Spencer road from tbe bible and prayer-book, begged for giveness of all, and then said hi was ready to die. it Black caps were made from black handkerchiefs. Tho colors were to be hoisted at tbe moment to give solem nity to the occasion, and then the gun was to be fired as a signal at the ropes to pull. . Spencer wanted to give tho signal, but afterward he re quested Captain Mackenzie to do it for hi m. When all was ready, tbe condemned men sitting in tbeir ham mock", awaiting the dreadful sum mons to another world.tbe gun belch ed forth its thunder, the men at the three ropes drew in, and the three unfortunates shot aloft, tho sadden contact with tbe blocks above break ing their necks, and hurrying them into the presence of tho trreai white throne. Two of the men were hong to one of tbe main yards, and the third to the other. The bodies were sewn up in sailcloth, tbe feet weigh ed with shot, and the earthly re mains ot tho reckless youths were slid on a plank through the oortholes and disappeared in the depth of ihe ocean. When New York was reached court of inciairy. composed of Com modores Stewart, Jacob, Jones and Dallas, examined the case, und ap proved the course of Captain Mack enzie. A court-martial was also held, Commodore Downee being president. and the action of Captain Mackenzie waa endorsed. Captain .uuniiuijwu HmiMl-BiSi.

In the second volume of her memoirs Mme. Bemusat indulges in this compara tive study of Talleyrand and Foucuet: Talleyrand and Fouchet were two very remarkable men, and both were exceed ingly useful to Bonaparte. Bnt it would . be difficult to find less resemblance and fewer points of contact between any two persons placed in such close and continn- -ous relations. The former had studiously preserved the carelessly resolute manner if I may use that expression of the no bles of the old regime. Acute, taciturn, measured in bis speech, cold in bis bear ing, pleasing in conversation, deriving a!! -his power from himself alone for he held no party in his hand his verv faulu and even the stigma of his abandonment or his former sacred state of life, were sufficient guaranty to revolutionists, who knew him to-be so adroit and so supple that they believed him to be always keep ing the means of escaping them in re serve, xl -sides, be opened his mind to . no one. He was quite impenetrable upon tbe affairs with which be was charged, and upon his own opinion of tbe master Whom be served; and, as a final touch to this picture, he neglected nothing for bis own comfort, was careful ia bis dress. used perfumes, and was a lover of good cheer and all the pleasures of the senses. tie was never subservient to Bonaparte, but he knew how to make himself neces sary to him, and never flattered him in public ouchet,on the contrary, wasa genuine product of the revolution. Careless of bis appearance, he wore the gold lace and the ribbons which were the insignia of bis dignities as if he disdained to arrange them. He could laugh at himself on oo- . casion ; he was active, animated, always restless, talkative, affecting a sort of frankness which was merely the last de gree of conceit ; boastful ; disposed to seek the opinion of others upon his con-. duct by talking about it, and sought no justification except in bis contempt of a certain class or morality, or his careless ness of a certain order of approbation. ' But he carefully maintained, to Bona parte's occasional disquiet, relations with a party whom the Emperor felt himself was obliged to conciliate in his person. With all this. Fouchet was not deficient in a sort of good fellowship. ' He bad even some estimable qualities. He waa a good husband to an ugly and stupid wife, and a very good even a too indulgent father. tie looked at revolution as a whole; he hated small schemes and constantly re-: curring suspicions, and ; it was because this was bis way ot thinking mat his pot icy did not suffice for the Emperor. Where Fouchet recognized merit, be did it justice. It is not recorded of him that ha was guilty of any peracnaVjvengiv nor did he show bimseif ca pftIeyPpe r -sistent jealousy.

Oo Tuesday last Dr. Fisher, at the New York hospital, was called opoa to render bis professional services in what bas proven to be a most remarkable case. At nooa on the day named a lady called at tbe hospital and avowed that she bad swallowed a full set of teeth. She request ed tbe physician to examine her for traces of them, and said that she was Mrs. Cora S. Nourse, aged 47, an artist, who contributed sketches and articles to tbe Floral Cabinet. She resided at In o. 56 West Ninth street with ber two daughters, and on Tuesday last visited some relatives on the Hudson.'. ; When making her toilet on Tuesday morning she missed bet teeth, and being unable to find them about her room she came to the conclusion that during her sleep she must have swallowed them, as sbe remembered distinctly their presence ia uer mouth when retiring. A tickling sensation in her throat seemed to corrob orate this belief. Dressing in hasto she hurried off to a resident physician, who examined her for traces of the lost mo lars, but failed to find them. He ad vised her to search for them, assuring her thu if she felt no distress in her stomach it was not possible that they were located as she supposed. r , , She inquired as to the result in case her fears proved true, and was informed that if she had swallowed them the result would prove fatal. Alarmed at this, tha lady hastened to her apartments, but be ing unable to find her teeth, she boarded strain ior this city and sought relief at the New York hospital. She was in a considerable state of trepidation, and ap peared to suffer great mental anxiety. After a thorough examination Dr. Fisher declared that she could not possibly'ul''" swallowed the teeth.
