forbids the heads and heirs of the bosses

The Prince, very pale and evidently con-
trolling himself by a great effort, glanced
nervously about him, and seemed to find,
enoonragement in the multitude of sym-
pathetio faces which met his gaze.
Straightening himself with a proud move-
ment of the head and shoulders, he made
the following declaration. Hie voice
pounded low au he began, but had he
whieperedeevery-,...word_ .woulti_have_beel
heard distinctly in the remotest corners of
the room, eo intense was the silence. As
he went on, be spoke louder, his cheeks
flushed; he looked at his judgee ont of a
pair of eyes shining with old-fashioned
courage. He made a pretty picture as be
stood there telling hie simple story, refus-
ing to ask for mercy, ready to accept the
ooneegience, in hie: boyish enthusiasm ap-
pealing to•the soldiers of the nation,tqde-
olare that he had done--no-wrong.- --These-
-were hie words : " Monsieur le President
-I beg permission to address you with no

France. I shell respect their judgment.
Bet if I am found guilty I know that 200,-
000 soldiers of my age will declare me in -
noosed, and all fair-minded men and
women will,do the.same.';
A the Prinoe_ceaEeo-speaking_ihethn
which bad settled over the chamber was
succeeded by a tumult of cries. and voices.
Whether the speech' was the result of bis
own ii.epiration, or, as the Republicans
maintain, was written for him by more
experienced advisers, there is no doubt that
it was a distinct success as far as the andi-
enoe was concerned. ee
Under the combine' inflnenoe'.of the
stifling heat and intense' excitement,
women became hysterical, and etnelling
bottles andhandkerchiefs;.oame into great
deneend. ,Even men gave way to emotion,
and more than one pair o f masculine eyes
winked bard to keep back the tears.
After the sentence had been pronounced
a thousand persons invaded the advocates'
robing room. Many were Monii6histe,
and shouted, " Long live the Deo d'Or.
leans 1" Their al outs were met with
'counter cries of " Down with the Deo
d'Orleana 1" '9Loiig,live the Republic 1"
The guards were powerless tie restore order.
After venting their- feelings here far a
ttin& the crowd shouted, " lo the statue ;
let us crown Henry 3V." With oneeacoord
they rushed to the site of the statue, where
there were cries of " Long -live the King I"
from the Duo's sympathizers, and counter
erica of " Long live obs Republic 1" from
his opponents. The police made twenty-
five arrests.

renewed violence, and thePrinoess Beatrice
is having a dreadful time of it, as she loves
her hneband devotedly and is afraid of her
mother, to whom she was alwaya a sub-
miseive.daughter. It is certain that the
Queen is an exacting mother-in-law, and,
,while willing" to allow Prince Henry to
smoke pipes in the grounds and to have a
separate allowance of money, she won't
stand his bringing fellows home to dinner
without leave,nor hie slipping off to Lon-
don every ,pow and then and corning borne

icg to live out of England, but asserte thea
the British law gives him the ; ouetody of
his wife, and he means to have it. The
Queen is between two stools ; she mnet
either loge her favorite daughter or she
must tolerate Battenburg's chums when
he brings them home to take pot -luck.

great shook to neonle in the Chenango Val-
ley. The fpgitive had euoceeded to a pros-
perous banking business established by h,is
deceased father, and as he had no expen-
sive tastes or vices, and was shrewd and
olose-fisted• in -business-transactions, he was

On Saturday afternoon, December 7th last,
he locked the doors of bis banking house
and took a train tp. Binghamton, where -he
changed to a train for Buffalo, and that
was the last seen of him on this aide
of Canada. It is presumed that
the fugitive found a hiding
place at or near Hamilton, Ont., where he
is said to have an uncle living. He left
behind him an interesting family, ooneist-
ing of a wife and little•blind daughter and
an invalid mother, to all of whom he
seemed devotedly attached. In so far, as is

A Cure for Diphtheria.
The following remedy is said to be the
best known ; at least it is worth trying; for
physicians seem, powerless to cope with the
disease suooeesfully. At the first indication
of diphtheria in the.tktroat of a child make
the room close; then take a tin cup and
pour into it a quantity of tar and turpen-
tine, equal par. • Then hold the atm over
the fire so as to fill the room with tames.
The little patient, on inbaling the fumes,
will oough up and spit out all the mem-
branous matter, and the diphtheria will
pass off. The fumes of the tar and tarpon.
tine loosen the matter in the throat, and
thus afford the relief tbethas baffied the
skill of physicians. -Exchange.
