lady, just out of teens, and her aftianced is only 27 years of age. He is the son of Don Andre Golouna, who died twe!ve years ago, and the nephew of Marco Antonio, the head of the Neapolitan brauch of the Col- onna family. Prince Ferdinand is a Col- }onna-Stighana. That branch has possessed the title of Galatro since 1688, that of Stig- liane since 1716; their third princely title of Aldano and the Marquisate of Castel- nuove date from the same period, and they

have been Spanish groncecs of the fir.t class since 1764. They are allied to the’ Aquavivas d’Aregon, to ‘tle

Obreseciis, the Barbieri, the Arnulfi, the Cecconi, the Sobreri, the Sarmient?. The other branches of the family are the Colonna-Paliano, of Rome ; the Colonna- Sciarra, of Rome; the Barberini-Colonna, Lkewise of Rome; and the Colouna- Romano, of Palermo. If ‘“‘the bird o’ freedom” does scream with pride on read- ing this glorieus array he wil! be excusable. |The Colonnas and Orosinis were the two most powerful fanilies in Rome in the middle ages, They took it in turns to Lother the Popes, and sometimes ran them jin and locked them up. The Colonnas | pretend that their ancestors brought back from Palestine the very identical pillar to which Christ was attached by Pilate’s order ito be scourged, Their story must be true, for they have got the pillar in their arms, | a8 mentioned above. Nevertheless, there are several convents both in Spain and France which also claim to have the authentic /pillar, One of the Colonnas became a Pope /under the title of Martin V.

by a young man named Thomas Kerry, who served in the expedition. Kerry

L. Chap-| stated that about 4p. m. on the Queen's

birthday, while sailing down one of the rivers, they were attacked by natives, who

advanced against the vessel in twenty- three large war canoes. The canoes were the largest Kerry ever saw,

and must have contained fully twelve hun- dred men. As they came toward the }expedition schooner, the savages sang war songs, brandished spears, bows and arrows and gave horrible yells. The schooner ran among the canoes, keeping up a running fire. The fighting continued until seven o'clock, when the savages retired, but sub- sequently resumed the attack, and the position of the explorers became so perilous that they resolved upon a desperate experi ment. The medicine chest was emptied, and half filled with powder and dynamite. Two fuses were attached to _ it and lighted, and the improvised in- fernal machine was thrown among the savages. The result was terrible. Two or three canoes were blown into the air, and from 90 to 100 men must have perished. As the natives still threatened them, the explorers decided that their only chance of safety was to abandon the schooner. The anchor was, therefore, trapped, and the ex- plorers got into a sma!l boat, taking with them a little dry oatmeal, the firearms, and

plenty of ammunition. At mid- ‘night the sail and was helm lashed, lwith the object of sending her up

iche river, and so deceiving the savage:. The explorers landed safely, and started to march for the coast. Towards the end of Mav they were again attacked, but after | the white men had succeeded in killing 400 | natives the remainder ran away. | The exploring party sustained no casual- | ties, with the exception of a spear wound | in the foot received by Kerry. The Anglo | New Zealander says that in the accounts of | diti blished in the A jthe expedition published in e ges nothing is said of the terrible loss ot life described by Kerry.

The death is announced of Mr. Schuyler Colfax, who would be sixty-two years old next month, and who was Vice-President of the United States from 1868 to 1872, in General Grant’s first term. Mr. Colfax rose from & humble position to a very exalted one, through all the grades, and had filled the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. He might have been nominated a second time for Vice- President and might have been President, but he was undoubtedly mixed up in the Oakes-Ames scandals in the Pacific Railway. He barely escaped impeachment, and in the full tide of his prosperity and promise he fell, never to rise again. Yet he was not adishonest man, but he took a loose view of his duty es a public man, and the United States could not afford to keep him to the front. Mr. Colfax has since appeared ou the lecture platform, but has taken so part in politics, He will be long remembered among the Oddfellows as the founder of what is known as the degree of Rebecca.

The cases of death from blood poisoning, which have recently occurred in Brooklyn, N. Y., have not only attracted the attention of the medical profession, but of the gen- eral public. The death of the Rev. Dr, Schenck, which occurred recently, was due to blood fpoisoning, gangr-ne having set in after having a corn treated. On the 9th inst., Mr. Heury McCloskey, who is the father of the Rev. John McCioskey and the lave Rev. William McCloskey, of Brooklyn, died from the same cause. Like Dr. Schenck, he had a corn trimmed, after which his to» began to swell. A physician was called in and he treated him for erysipela:, but the toe became so swollen that Drs. Shepard and Bodkin were called in consultation; aud they found that gane grene had set in aad jthat the poison had gone throngh the system and it was too late to save him.

Au inquest was held recently in London, on the body of Thomas Wood, aged 27, stableman. Deceased, a married man, in the enjoyment of robust health, asked his father and wife to meet him at the Eagle Tavern, Paddington,in the evening,and they did so. He asked his father for a ‘chew of tobacco,” which he put into his mouth, and whilst in the -act’ of sitting down, he stumbled and died, Dr. Lindsey made a post nortem “examination, which showed that the piece of tobacco had Jodged at the bottom of the windpipe, completly blocking up the passage and causing suffocation.
