The result in perhaps in no division in the province has the election contest . Over evoked As much interest As that in souk Vood. The fact that a notorious political monstrosity Public robber and social Cut from this will be seen that if the Empress were to hold strictly to the 1s66 will the son of Napoleon Iii. Would have u poor Chance of marrying decently his whole Fortune consisting of the francs per annul and a few that the revolution left him. A lot of imaginative statements have been made respecting the Fortune of his Mother Eugene. The republicans have made the possessor of fabulous sums while on the other hand the Bonapart its have reiterated again and again the like a cast was seeking election there Drew All eyes in that direction. The result has been what those Wiio really understood the division confident in fact knew from the first would j. Clarke has been most Defeated. The or. Trios. Lusted does not even begin to Parro Ihnato to our Ideal member of parliament. He May to doubtless is the. Superior in every respect to some a that have been Anu perhaps will be entitled to the too much coveted addition . But that is by no Means conclusive Evi Dence that lie is fit for the position to he just Attaine-1. Unfortunately for the country there Are far too Many aspirants in this province for should and otherwise would be High positions and 31 r. Lusted is by no Means solitary in his ambition Foi that which to should leave for others. How Ever to possesses a Quality which Ren Ders him entirely oblivious to what we common with the vast majority of those who under the circumstances voted for in him in this re . Without a doubt or. Lusted be-1 lives he is pre eminently Well Quali j fied for a legislator. We Havn enough in his honesty to think that were he not so persuaded to would not seek to be made the like but All the while would be a pitiable legislature indeed that would be constituted of Twenty four men of exactly ill. Lusted s talents and attainments. Believing thus we cannot congratulate the electors of Tuckwood Uron their selection but we most heartily do so upon their rejection. We do not imagine that Roekwood or the province will be much the gainer by having my. Lusted in the legislature but had his oppo nent been elected naught but the Opportunity would be wanting did they not come out a heavy loser. Or. Lusted As a private citizen is a most estimable Man in every respect one against whose integrity and Honor we verily believe the first truthful word Lias yet to be littered but withal he certainly does not possess other most requisite qualifications for a very Ordinary legislator. His opponent on the other hand is not void of but As a private citizen he is utterly de testable and his Public record May Chal Lenge the annals of parliament Rily governed countries for a parallel for flagrant injustice base tyranny and Bare laced speculation. The election contest in Rock Vrcon having been worked Down to a Choice Between he two men above referred to the electors did that which not to have done would have been a Burn ing disgrace to themselves and an Ever lasting reproach to the province. Assurance pauper. Something in Point of fact this would seem to be her actual position Accord ing to the will of 18gg, deposited with a notary named Moe Uard and opened Chiso Hurst on the Leith of january 1st3, three Days after the death of Napoleon Iii. The will puts the Empress eugenic in Possession of firstly francs per annul de Rived from the estate of Menzola near Bologna once forming part of Prince Bacchiochi s Fortune. Secondly of diamonds of the value of about you francs equivalent to an inc Orue of francs. Thirdly of sundry houses in the Rue tie 1 Elysce Paris which though partly mortgaged to cover debts due by the Duke. D Albe were bought by Baron Hiresh who gave francs for them say another francs in come fourthly of francs in , allotted to tiie emperor on the Ostli loan of three Milliards. If All these sums Are added together we get a total francs income or about representing the in stantly available Fortune of the exem the chateau of Pierre Oncas and the chinese museum Fontainebleau count for nothing for the Republic has charge of them present and does not seem Likely to hand them Over. is out of this income of that Young Louis must be provided for when Ever to weds. They say that his Mother has promised two thirds or per annul. On this and his not Worth much just for the lie Hopes to set up housekeeping with the Princess Thyra or any other Amia ble and unassuming Princess who will have him. Why does he try his Luck the court of Dahomey sailed in to the Point of the and anchored As the make in four and half fathoms of water. She was too near the Knell however and As she swung with the tide her keel took to the ground and she remained there until she broke up some three Days after. The cargo was All taken out by wreckers. The machinery probably lies there to this Day.

Of the Vari Ous reports circulating with regard the rumoured marriage of the sex Prince Imperial and the Princess Thyra of Den Mark May not be uninteresting to Nee what the would be Benedict possesses in the shape of worldly goods. Accord ing to a recently published account hav ing every appearance of genuineness the Prince personally has Only a Small income of francs annul brought in by his estate Vincentini near Pooritz in Illyria. He owes this re venue to the Princess Bacchiochi who left to him with her estate Brittany. The Brittany property was. However nearly All mortgaged and when All was paid 00the property was reduced to nothing in particular. So much for the personal property of the Young pre tender. May be wondered that his father made no provision for him. The explanation is easy. When Napoleon made his will in 1scg, he did not count on being dethroned by the revolution which occurred four years later. In j8g6, the emperor and Empress then the height of their Power and Prosperity made each other a sort of Exchange of donations bequeathing their property in such a Way As to allow their survivor the Benefit of the other s property. The emperor gave his wife Arenburg. And assigned her As a place of residence in Paris the Elysee now the abode of the president. To his son he bequeathed the throne fancying he thereby assured him the Best of his possessions. Avsie Eitra col its. From the new York world. Yes i said an officer of a Amer yesterday in answer to. An expression of opinion As to the loss of life in the recent Accident if everybody had kept Cool and collected All the boats that wore not smashed would prob ably have been safely lowered and per haps not a life lost but the trouble is the their pre sence of mind in the Maceol sudden peril and the instinct of self preservation masters their reason. I remember on one occasion when 1 was mate on the Steamer a Marmion and was bound from Savannah to this port we had got up As far As the Scotland Light ship when we made the Green Light of a Steamer on the starboard Bow and thinking she would of course see our Green Light and Star Board her Helm we Star boarded a Little and paid no further attention to her till suddenly she opened both her lights showing that she had ported. We immediately put Helm hard a Istar Board and blew two whistles to warn the approaching vessel of our intention to pass to the left. She however adhered to her original intention having first been deceived by a red lantern which we had hoisted a1, our Peak As a signal for the Telegraph operator the Highlands and which she had taken for our port Side Light. was once apparent that a collision was inevitable. We were Low in the water and the approaching Steamer which afterwards turned out to be the Gen. Meade was very High. The evening was dark but not All foggy. As 1 looked through a Marina Glass and saw her approaching her Large bulk loomed up so formidably that i thought she must inevitably Cut oar Steamer completely in two. In an instant i become convinced that the Only Chance for life was to get on Board that Steamer and without a thought other than that i Flung the Glass on the deck sprang into the Quarter boat and before the of the collision came was upon her forecastle. Than the in Stant i knew was Safe came the thought that i the chief officer of the ship had deserted her and As she stopped after having crashed half Way through the alarm Ion i once sprang Back to where i had left a deck but which was now a gaping wound and Down i went into the sea. this in Stant the in Rushing water reached the Furnace doors and the ires unable to escape by these openings were forced violently up the funnel making for a few seconds everything As Light As Day and enabling me to see my Way up the jagged timbers with distinctness. I had hard work to prevent being drawn into the fire room by the rapidly entering flood of water but i succeeded and soon stood on deck again and i can assure you that although i confidently expected that the Steamer would go Down and Onee was a great Relief to me to think that i should go Clown with her and my Post. All this had occupied far loss time than i Havo been telling and not a soul on Board had missed me. Both of our starboard boats had been smashed by the collision. One of the port ones was in on deck in chocks and into the other which Hung the davits had rushed the firemen Coal heavers and some of the sailors and neither orders nor threats could induce them to get out of her so that she could be lowered and when they found that we would not lower the boat unless they came out of her one of them in his Blind instinct for self preservation Cut the tackle fall. Fortunately there was a Stout stopper around the Davit or this act of madness would have allowed this end of the boat to drop and those in her would Hove All been spilled Over Board and some of them probably drowned. The necessary delay in re reeling the fall brought the vessel s decks to the water and but Little lower ing was necessary when last we were Able to do so. By this time also two boats from the general Meade reached us with More than sufficient space to carry us All As we had but one Passen Ger and we All got into the boats except the Captain who by this time be came convinced that the cargo of cot ton would float the Steamer and said he should stay by her. The second mate Engineer and myself once went on braid again and after getting on Board the general Meade the Crew willingly returned to the Marmion which was evident was As Low As she was going to sink. A hawser was then passed to the other Steamer and for a third time she towed us in toward the Hook. But we towed heavy being so water logged and the hawser parted and before another could be got out was discovered that the general if Eade was leaking badly and for her own safety must aban Don ui3. Then we made sail upon the Marmion and wind and tide being to May concern americas go s. Avlon leg dec. Uth 187s.
