THE SEAFORTH EXPOSITOR 5 An Incident in the Early Life of' the Franck,' Emperor. During the winter of 1828 or -.1829, while: on a - visit to his aunt, the Grand Duchess Stephenie of Baden, Louis Napoleon .was walking along the banks of the Rhine with his two cousins, the Princesses Josephine and Marie of 13a- den 3aden (the Duchess of Hamilton,) accom- panied by several persona of the grand ducal court The conversation turned on the Ferrel gallantry of -olden times. The Princess Marie, in her piquant and original style, lauded the days ofchival- ry. She extolled .above measure the devotion of tne gallants wtie.se. device was dieu, mon roi, et rna-dome, "God, my ging,-and.my lady fair," and who faithfully carried it out through all sorts of perils and sacrifices.' With this picture of by gone virtues- she times in -one of the town churches. On contrasted the vices and_the selfishness the day appointed for the celebration of modern times. Louis Napoleon of the cel cony which was to 'make took up the debate with the warmth and spirit natural to his age. He maintained in respect to courage and gallantry, the French - had not degen- aerated a whit i and that they still were ready to do for their ladies whatever their forefathers had done, adding that -"in all times devotion had never been wanting to -women who deserved - and were worthy to inspire it." At that moment they artived at the spot where the Necker makes its junction with the Rhine, fighting hard to force its way .into the giant river. In wi item the scene is most picturesque, offering the aspect of a stormy sea, and was, in ',fact the object of the walk. As they lingered on . the causeway -dyke which skirts the Necker, a gust of wind car- ried off -a Tower from the Princess Marie's Lair, and blew into the rush- ing water. "Look there ." said- the thoughtless _ girl, with a 1€ugh, and pointing to the flower hurried away by the- currant- "That would have been -an excellent opportunity fora cavalier of the olden tinges." ',Aha, cousin!" exclaimed Louis Napoleon, '"that's a challenge. Very well' I accept it ;" and immediately plunged, dressed as he " was, into the rapid stream. We can easily conceive the. flutter and fright of gm, Gaand Duchess. the court la - die, and all the rest. It was a _terrible breach of etigiie rte to 'make snch a sen- sational - scene. The Princess Marie loudly bewa lead her folly ; the others screamed, shouted for help, or uttered feminine cries of despair. With some, there was a demand for smelling -salts and aromatic vinegar. None jumped into the water to }lull him out. Mean- while, the Prince swam bravely, strug- gling with the violence of the waves, Those who have felt the current of the Rhine know what sort of swimming it is. He disappeared and re -appeared, and then c isaipeared and re -appeared, again. Finally reaching the bank safe and sound, lent shivering, with the flower of mischief in his hand, "Here it ia ; take;`it co€;sin." he said, "but for heaven's sake," he continued laughing, and pointing to his dripping garments, -'never more talk to me about your ca- valiers of the olden time."-L'ondon Society. ed toward the trench holding each eth- er by `the ba .d. The oddest followed at a short distance behind them. He was• the stronger of the three, and with him the murderer commenced. He flung a. cord with a running knot round his neck, strangled him, cut the throats . of the two others, whom he flung at a short distance further,`, then returning to the eldest who had begun to exbibit symp'ons of returiiiag sensibility, he put an end to him by stabbing himre- peatedly. The trial will soon come off: Rich Scene at a Wedding --The `Best Man" Marriesthe Bride The Port Hope Canadian says that a couple residing in the rural districts, not far from town, were lately engaged -to he married and were "called three this twain one flesh. "The happy cou- ple came to town arrayed in all the glory of new store clothes, bringing with them a brother of the bridegroom, who is to officiate as "best man," and who, the result proved, was felly entit- led to that character. Leaving the blushing damsel in charge of his broth- er). the roth-er,`the intended husband' adjourned to a )bar -room to get "something hot" to cheer his spirits under the trying ordeal through which•be was to pass. Here he ',vet some friends, and amid bhe con - :i grt u latioe s with which he was over- , whclmed, partook of more than was necessary for the purpose of elevating liis courage to the proper point, and soon became oblivious to all sublunary matters, wedding party, bride, prospec- tive domestic bliss and all. After waiting a reasonable time for his re -ap- pearance; his affianced and the rest of the party grew .uneasy, and finally an expedition was organized to 'go in search of him. They discoverd him in the tavern in a comatose,condition, and reported that fact in the proper quar- ter. . The bride bore up gravely under this trial, declared that shedidn't care a cent, he was a good-for-nothing. clrnnkeu wretch, and she was glad to get clear of him. Moreover, she was not going to be humbugged that way out of •getting a husband ; she come to town to be married, and married she was determined to be—tc the first man that would take her Rather than see the girl disappointed about a trifle line that, the brother who came to do the "best mans' business volunteered to be her victim himself. The -bargain was soon made, and off he started for a li- cense, returning in a short time, when they were married and started for home, leaving the ether- individual .to ;enjoy his little spree as best - he could. The affair has created no little talk; and much merriment among those acgn int - ed with the facts, and the intended husband is now h aving a rough. .time among the wags. -.s• The Pantin Murders Trainman ie said to have made a clean breast o thehorrors of which he is the author. I -Ie- acknowledged that he alone was oncerned in the murder of the gine family. He abandons bis statement regarding the culpabilty of ginck,.senior, and admits that . he murdered th latter on the 25th of August, in a plain near Guebwiller. He has given indications' ibgard.ng the spot where he " had interred the body, which will n dceibt lead` to its discov- eery. Gustav Kinck was killed by •him a couple of days before the rernain- iing murders *ere accomplished in the field at Pan in. On tire 20t .of September. after mak- ingp allhis p eparatozs; he induced the - mother and a ildren to occompany him to Pontin, n arriving at tho Chemin Vert he mad Mille. Kinck, her little - daughter, an the youngest of her sons, descend from the carriage. .After leas -- sing the last houses which line that narrow 'andrtuous avenue, they ar- rived on the plain. The trench had been dug in a bellow, not very deep, but sufacien ly so to ' prevent what oc- curred from ing easily ` cistinguished from theAu er' illers road'.

Traupmann' first attacked the little girl,' whom 1 e stabbed repeatedly with his knife, a d then flung, still living, in the furtlx -es part of the tf'eia(:h. He next seized 'he mother, with vwliom he had a sbc rt struggle—a struggle all the more dreadful from the fact that the younger of her sons held on fast. to her, dress. nd uttered piercing shrieks, no doubt thlise which were heard by w the atch•ni r_ of a factory .simated in the neighborhood. The screams, how - 1 ever, soon ceased, ahri the assassin con- tinuing his "work of-ertermiration, hastened back for tne eldest and two younger of Phe children. who had re- mained in. the fiacre unsuspi€;ious° of what had t The -two A Tough Story. Unfortunately for the r eptitatio�r. of Boston as a laiv-abiding .community, it is no unusual occurrence to see ► upon our streets ripen who so far forget them- selves as to appear before their fellow beings in a condition strongly indica- tive of the fact that a superabundance of "the rosy" had for the time depriv- ed them of the power of straight -for- ward locomotion. Such an instance was broughtto the notice of the bystanders in the vicinity of a well-known drink- ing saloon, occasioned by the appear- ance of a man considerably intoxicated, and who at the time was accompanied by a handsome E�.giish coach -dog. The man pursued his devious course, closely followed by his four -footed com- panion, until at leuigth he approached the door of the saloon referred to;and was about to enter, when, to the sur- prise of all who had witnessed • the Oita the dog jumped up and catching the skirts of the m n's coat ought to prevent him from going in, The ine- briated biped spoke in angry tones to the beast, but without _ avail, until at length, a more than ordinary severe command induced hien to relinquish his. hold, and the man hastened inside fol- lowed by his faithful companion and would-be protector. Actuated simply by curiosity, we also went:in, and as we gained 'a posi- don near the bar, saw in close proximi- ty thereto; the beast and his master the latter striving to reach the bar. and thenr foer standing on his hind" legs, with w his fore pas placed against the mau'a breast, ti ainly endeavoring, even at the eleventh hour, to prevent him from again indulging in the intoxicating cup. . 'ft the credit of the bar -tender, be it stated that ltire refused to furnish the man with any more liquor; and tears were drawl -vet -0m eyes that had long been unused to the melting mood, as at each refusal the undoubtedly heart - :stricken canine would bestow a look of intense gratitude' upon the dispenser of "cocktails," "slings" and "cods," and then turning, would,"a it,h the most im- ploring look:, mutely beseech his liquor - o ungest children proceed- 1y w ken place,. • oving master to abstain.---Bcstan .
