Decern licr 20 the German Consul sent 11 h tan f u word to com on board tho Aiiler that day and his life would be spared. He, of course, did not go, as hi knew ho would never come on shore again. Tlio Consul says he arranged a meeting of tho three Consuls at the German Consulate, but nothing could be done, i.s the German Consul said he had lost so many men he must now take the matter in his own hands and revenge the losses. The day's diary closes as follows: "Captain Mullan sends more marines on shore to this Con sulate, and a Catling gun. and haa fifty men detailo 1 on board tho Nipsic to laud at on co in charge of the first officer when ever the signal is made at this Consulate." December 21 the German Consul in formed Mr. Itlacklock that aGermnu ninn-of-war would go to Mataafngatele and wait one, hour for the Mntnafa natives to come on ttonrd and give up their guns.

Mr. Alcutt, in Mrs. Craven' boarding house at Plumuier rille, states: 'Clayton had been nervous all the evening and was pacing the floor with bis hands in bis peckets and he walked toward the window over which the blind was partially drawn and was in the act of sitting down when a shot was tired through the window making a very load report and putting out the light. We could bear the blood running from Clay ton. 1 exclaimed: 'The lamp baa ex ploded and killed him.' 'So,' said Alcutt. 'he has been shot.' When a light was brought we found that a load of buckshot had been fired through the window taking effect in the right side of his neck, breaking it, one bullet passing through. He fell back in the cbuir and then over on the floor. Clayton's remains were brought to this city and were met at the depot by Knights Templar ConimauUery and a ast con course of people and escorted to the com mamiery asylum, where they laid in state before being taken to I'ine Bluff for inter ment. Tiio fatnl wound is a very ugly one. a charge of fifteen buckshot having entered the right side of the head, tearing a hole in which a man could run bis fist. Seven balls passed clear through, making a hole on th left side an inch and a half in diameter. The neck was broken and all the arteries fnrn the brain to tho heart seveied, and death was instantaneous. A pistol found just outside Mrs. Crav ens' yard is the only clew to the perpetra tor. The assassins wore heavy Aictic overshoes, which they pulled off as soon as they got outside of the yard. The jeuple of J'luminerviUo aie horror stricken and mystified and feel outraged, too, on accouutof the cowardly assassina tion and openly declare they will hangthe assassins if caught.

VlKiCffa, Jan. 3L Archduke Kadelph. Crown Prince of Austria, vas found da4 in bed yesterday morning by his valet at Mierling. a suburb ot Vienna. The Garette says: "Fate has inflicted a :ishing blow npoa the imperial borne and the people of Austria-Hungary. Our universally esteemed Crown Frinca is Jead." The Gazette then narrates that the Crown Prince on Monday went on a shoot ing excursion to Mierling, accompanied by several guests, including Prince Philip of Coburg and Count Hovos. He felt some what indisitosed Tuesday and therefore excused himself from attending tho family dinner party at Hofborg. When the shooting guestf assembled yesterday morn ng the Crown Prince did not ap pear. Immediate inquiries were made and the guests were overcome with the terrib!e news that the Crown Prince was dfad from a stroke of apoplexy. It is stated that official private telegrams affirm that the death or the Crown Prince was due to a wound inflicted with a rifle. Many persons here refuse to believe that death resulted from apoplexy and all kinds of rumors of shooting by accident or design are current. Archduko Charles Louts, the Emperor's brother, is now the heir presumptive to the throne. He has three sons, Fraacis, Otho Arthur and Ferdinand. Aicuduke Otuo is the next heir. It is thought, how ever, thnt Francis' resignation recently was onlj conditional. The official announcement that apoplexy was the cause of death modified the alarm of the police arising from rumors that the Prince had been killed while shooting. Large crowds traversed the main streets and assembled in groups discussing the event Tho bourse first learned the news through the bourse commissary. A paralysis of business ensued, members rushing to the streets and besieging the telegraph offices. The bourse was im mediately closed and the committee de cided to keep it closed until Friday. The Beichsrath alto adjourned amid great ex citement. Tho court theaters and all the private theaters and places of amusement gave no performance. The Crown Prince had suffered during the lust few years of his life from rheuma tism of tho joints. Tuesday evening he had a severe shivering fit. The Vienna papers do not lefer to sensational reports regarding the cause of the Crown Prince's death. One rumor was that he had been accidentally shot, while another had it thnt he had lieen murdered by a aaiit. The body will be brought to Vienna at midnight. When the news of her son's death was broken to the Empress she burst into tears and went herself to impart the sad intelli gence to the Emperor, who appeared to be stunned by the news aud unable to realise the truth. 'THE BISMARCK DYNASTY." Scathing Criticism of Father and Hon aud the Kmiwror William. Loxdo!, Jan. 31. The Contemporary Review-contains an article entitled "The Bismarck Dynasty," which bears no sig nature, but which contains internal evi dence of having emanated from a high authority. It opens with a reminder that the Chancellor can not live long and that he has designed hm son Count Her bert as his successor. The article frankly nlludes to Count Hertert's youthful brawls, to his Inter intrigues and to his embroilment with a woman at Bonn from which he had to slash his way with his sword, resulting in an ugly cut on the head. The Itt-msrckiau contempt for women, accentuated by this and another intrigue after the war, is i eproscnttid as the origin of all that is baneful in the Bismaicktnti character. The article affects to dismiss ns mon strous the insinuation of the opponents of Prince Bismarck that the Chancellor medi tated the denth of Emperor Frederick when he insisted that Frederick should leave S.in I.emo for Berlin, but depicts the idea that his ascendancy would be men need by Empress Fiederick as a night- I mure to the Chancellor, who further saw by Frederick's refusal to discus. State af fairs with Count Herbert, thnt it was use less to hope that Herbert would ever be Frederick's Chancellor. Who could, there fore, le surprised, the writer aks. had Prince Bismarck wished the cancer to make haste? The article is hardly less sparing in its criticism of the present Emperor. It calls him an apt pupil of a cynicul master, who found no difficulty, moral or sentimental, in treating his mother in a fashion after Count Herbert's own heart aud in treating tho Prince of ales w ith such discourtesy as to prevent any intercom se betweea them.

A dozen or fifteen years ago the main street of every Nevada town waa a prolonged gambling saloon. Every open door revealed a well-patronized bar and a more popular game of keno or faro beyond the drinking-place. In front of these resorts lounged eores of the most reckless adventurers that ever congregated in one State of the Union. A stranger might deem it more than imprudent for an unpro tected lady, or even one with a for midable escort, to run the gauntlet of the long rows of gambling-houses sind saloons; but to the female resident of the town the feat was any thing but dangerous. Day after day one might observe ladies of blameless character and good social position walking past the groups of gamblers and adventurer- without any interference or a remark that might bring a bluh to the cheek of the most prudish. It is one of the traditions of Virginia, Nev., that on the memorable occasion when a celebrated shotgun lighter was about to perforate an opjionent in front of the famous Delta saloon, Jim Orn dorff delayed the bloody duel by quiet ly remarking: "Gentlemen, hold on a minute; here's Mrs. (a respected society lady) coming down thu trees.' Both desperadoes hid their pistols be hind their backs till the lady had turned the corner, when they resumed hostilities and shot each other to death in a most merry fashion with out unnecessarily wounding the sensi tiveness of the fair sex. Tho incident created such a favorable impression that the chivalrous duelists received tho compliment of a quarter column notice in the pajiers next day and were buritni with all the pomp of a mining superintendent who dies suddenly when stocks are tit the top figure.

Bui the exper iments made with it did not reach beyond the simple rudiments, and without much promise of successful results, owing to thc great expense of a chain suitable and other seemingly insurmountable cifficuilk-s. To the inventor of the Hatrorth Check Rower, however, i due the credit, of combining the elements that constitute the completed and practical machine which has been of such inestimable benefit to the corn producer of the West. Gex D. Haworth begaa experiments in the spring of ltsOT with the idea of making a check-row attachment for the corn-plautcr then in general use. nrsttryicgiron wire for a check-hue, jointed together so as to form knots at the proper intervals and run at the side of the machine. A movement to throxv the slide-bar of tbc planter back and forth by tlie direct force of the check line bc.ng necessary for an attachment, the one first gotten up was substantially the same as those now in common uc, namely: the f. rked retractile arm with p.ivl and ratchet wheel, spur wheel and pinion, so that at eas.h stroke of the arm a half revolution was made-thus, with a crunk on the pinion, motion was comrounica!-d to the slide bar, but, on its becoming evident that iron wire was not durable enough, .cotton roie was adopted as the best thing 'available at thai time for tlie purpose, the use of which, however, made it necessary that mechanic al devices be provided especially adapted as to the movement und to lay the rope over bv the machine. After the trial of various plans, that embodied m thc Haworth Check Rower us now made was adopted us the best, aud time baa verified the correctness of that conclusion. When Bessemer Steel wire became avail able as a cheap and durable material it was substituted in place of rope. This machine is unequalled in its perfect adaptation to the use of a wire check line. Mr. Haworth was the first to devise the means wherebv a forward and return move ment was given to the droptier slides by the direct force of the knotted check line, "This and other principles originated by him are common to ull check-rowers. The Haworth Check Rower and Corn Planter, manufactured by Haworth &Sou, Decatur, III., are tho outgrowth of ihirty five years experience iu the invention, man ufacture, introduction and usc of planting macniuerv.
