A Irilaltnt Scheme fcr the Conquest of Mexico. The first project for tboeoaquest of Mt-xico iii our day and generation, we heard of at Apponartox Court house at the surrender. The project then, as reported, was subs.antially that thie! Federal Givernineut woulu trainder -uoh members of the Army of Northern Virginik, as might cou hetit thereto, to its service and march upon Mexico. Since tlen, annually, if tlit often. er, schenes for Mexican conquest and annexation have been brought before the publio. The latest prnject enlbrace tc tonuest of Chihuahus, Cothila i, Now Leoin and Sonor-a and their sub ,equent annexation to the Uniteu Sta Los. A. number of capitalists of tais couniry, and many wealthy citi zens. of Mexico, are said to be Con neted with the scheic. A brief outline of the project is as follows : The Texas Pacifij Railroad is in the course of construction from botlh terinini, and the track will be finiied about the middle of the route, somlev.h0es near El Paso. Some fif. teen thousand laborers will be en gngerI on the road ; and when the work is conpleteds they will be div ohargod in a a country where It will be impossibie for them to obtain om ),- ,uent, aid as uch men are gen. Cr.iy improvideut and thuut money, they will be glad to accept anything that they way offer. livw thee men are to be utilized ii thum stated. A sciLty has been organ ized, with heaaoquarters at New Or leans. composed exclusively of ollicers of the Unuon and Confederate armies, n ono beiog eligible who has not ob. tained the rank of Captain. Some \chak~ before the completion of the r,.ilr-.ad these gentlemen will be sent forwird in detachments to make the'o; elves personally acqliainted with the laborers i and on the dis uharge of the latter they will attempt to erganize them into an army. Coinutssarios and oamp nquipago are to be furnished by the enpitalists who back them. They will then march over the Northern States of Mexico and raiso the flag of inde peadence in each of them. The poo. pl- of these Stiles are to look favora. bLy out the enltr-eprise, and offer no iio0lestat ion or interference, and the government of' .etico will be power less to) prevent it. The nett step will bo nr.nexation to the United States ly a vote of the people, as was the case wi'h Texas. Tom Scott and Genoral Grant are montioned as connectod uith or favorable to the fche me. A New AMcropolis. Ft i said that a plan will be pre rueated at the next session of the New Jersey Legislaturo for the formation of a new umnicipality, emb~lralcing withina its l imitLs, J ersey City, Newaik, Eii,.abeth, Ra~hway, Eiizta.. bethport, Bayonne.

A number of main lines of railway from the Sotuth and Wecst now coeontrate at Jersey City, arid from its warehouses vessels cain be loaded for foreign pelts -the city having the samue port faci itieis at V New York. Alli these fact:, e.,tiplod with a remark Ilade: recently by Governor Parker, of New Jersey, that "in fifty or sevenity-fivo years the greatest city of the conttinent would be on the west side of the II adson,'' hats indpired New York to renewed agitationa of proposamls to build bridlges aeross the Iludison River, to imnprov'e the harbor and to provide means of rapid transit betwoon the Battery and Harlem River. De)th of a Printer. Mr. Alboni C. Morgan, son of T. C.

A Chinese Iloror.t When'the droudful story of the Mas. ancre of twenty thousnd pSeopl in the Chiueso Nty of Tali (Tali-fiu), was rinnounced by telegraph, some three months ago, thero was at general ekpression of incredulity. It seems hardly possible that such a vast do struction of life La, becen accomplish. ed, even among the tiger like and vengeful trib63s which inhabit the southiwestern frontiers of the Ciinese Enpire. But late'r details of the bloody Collapse of the Mohammedan rebellion in Yunnan confirm the dreadfux tidikngs. q Tali-fu so far away from the local puimts of the WCster civization that the butchery of its entire population rouses inot even a Litiguid interest ? Modern his tory gives no such record of any such motatrous soitiifice of Ihu.an life ['or the number slain, according to the naost trultwor'hy necount, is more than forty thouu.'id people. The pitoons tale may never be told 'o us in full ; but we are slowly aid ob..curely learning enough to aeimure ls that the Mohammedan rebellion iu I Yunnan, has, after o'ghteen of flue- 1 tIunting vigor, gone out ii blood. The Moliammedais of the province of Yunmnan have maintained their re iigiou:s faith for many centuiies. -J Wd 1655 they were strong enough to defy the Imperial govreiument, drive out the representatives oW the empe ror and establish a quasi authority of their own. In 1855 the contral authority of their enpire Was vented in Suiltan Sult-imau, as lie was called, and the capital was fized at Tali-fu, now made inmouirfutbily famo us The Chinese government, then distracted and Iariassod by other rebellions which threatuted the integrity of tho emlire, as well as by alarming fotoign oirr.pliont.iots, was forced to leave the Mohammedans of Yunnau to their own devices, Finally, relieved from inore itumi nent perils, the imperial government teit a strong force against the Pan.. thays, as the Yunnan rebels ire some. times inaccurately called; and lt Fe bruary, an army of 200,000 Chinese after asiege of seven months, car-tur. ed the city of Tali. The "Suitan" ie said to have surrendered himself on condition that the people should be -parel. Poisoning his wives and childron (of which, we makc no doubt lie had an abundauce,) lie entered his . palanquin and was borne to the camp of the vigorous boelgers. When the curtains of hisx equipago were drawn, he was found dead. Ile had swallowed a fatal draught before leaving his capital. The populace of Tali-fu were given over to the sword. Momien, the next important city of the rebelliouis province, sub sequently shared the sa rme .ate which-, befel the seat of the hapless Sulei muan. Vhc Bride Who Said No al ille Altar. O Suaday last., as the Rev. Mr. Garman, in York, Iennsylvaniia, was conducting the services at the UNion Church, the sexton handed him a note. After the sermon Vas comple ted the millister announced he had the pitasure of stating that a couple in the congreg-tion desiredl to be uniitetd in the holy bonds of matri monly, and that the candidates should imnmediate ly present themselves. Tlhaere was a considerable flutter in the as emiblage-ev'ery eye staringx arouni.d to roo the ha ppy coiuple. A t ter somne delay, a fliu mand buoyant couple came nmarchinog up the aislo to tho~ alta.r. Thie reverend genmtleman imumnediately proeceeded with the c'eremonay, at.d] the groom an:,wered prompjtly, '"Yes I wili," but to the di.. rauny andt astonish menat of' thle clergy mniun .and au ne, wheni it caamo to the bride's turn, tahi answered jmuxt as promptly, "No, I will not,'' mand smilingly left the chur'h all alone, loeaving the half married mii:n in a qu anda ry what to do.

Finally, wvheni b'e camno to the sermon, lie broke comn pietoly down, and, to the anu~azmenct of the conagreat i:'n, and not. a little to thei r chagrin, muntnounced that aill that lhe ha~d had to eait or drink d 'iing that amid the previous day, ha'ileemco bread and butter anda tea, aund t hat when ha should go home after secrv ice was over lhe would not feol certa in of iding oven that nouchi.

The great balloonist, "Wash" Don aldson, had a card in the New Yor papers annouciug that he will make tht trip to Europe in the Graphic' silk bulloon, in the spring, and in the meantime will make frequent asen. sions in a paper balloon, for the pur pose of testing the Easterly ear3n theory, Tho eotton balloon, by the way, which ended its Voyage so ris. astrous'y three weeks ago, fell among the 1rihistinen, W hen the oronanti atipetupted to gather up their propert aid take it Lack to New York, al: Canaan (Connecticut) was aroused.

Ah Improbable Story. e Tho prOsenOe of Andrew :Johnson in Washington ..recalls to mind tho a memorable impoaohment trial, in P which lie wns defendant, toward the 1lose of his termn of office as President 0 of the United States. The late Cor neliuso Wendell, who wvas familiar 0 with the iioideuts of that trial and d an actor in some of the most inport . tint of them, usod to say that Mr. 0 Johuson's acquittal was attributed, j not as many iupposed to the ability and the eloquence of the distinguish. ed counsel employed by him, but to a the use of money. We nevcr under stood that DI . Johnson himself .urr:ished nay part of the sum paid, altbou.,: h thu parties %Nwho tadvanoed it unquoetionably counted upon person at aevautagos to themselves to result frorm Lie appreciation and gratitude after the trial should bo over. Mr. f Wendell's story was as follows : Tho idea of saving Mr. Johnsoa r had ben almost wholly relinquished by hia fa lends I h is conv iction seemed a foregone conluslon, and was amost universally spoken of as certain, when one Sunday, while Mr. Wendell was Ssttug in one of the pliblic rooms at Brown's hotel-since changed to the letropolitari-ho was accosted by an aequaintaheo, who asked : "Wendcll, do you wan't to bet a hindred thou.. sand dollars thai. Johnson will be contvitctd because if you do, I wit tukn the bet." Mr. Wendell said lie at once com.. l.rehiendod what 1he proposition neica5 and after a little firther eon vor.--ttivn requested a little timo in nuh to maLte ip his mind, aind ap. pointed a late hour in the same day for auuther meeting with the party who had made it. "i flow around,'" continued Mr. Vandell, " and A fter seeing several pes sone, found tut, I could raiso $60, 000 ; bO when this man coino back again I tsaid to hin, I will bet yott $60,000."' "I don't want to bet $60,000," wa, the inrtantaneous reply, "I ed to bet y ou $100,000 " if you do not wish to take that) we will lot the matter drop. . will bot that or kiothing; no smaller tim.' nodioll now perceived that the ,i' un was iniquestionably iii earnest, ..ad tbat if he took the het tho result would be one of two things-Johnson wo'.;ld o acquitted, or he would win a hundred thousirid dollars. 'ie re quested further titio, wlieh was ao corded, with the understandipg Low ever, that at the next interview the aoney was to be put np or the nego tiation was to be at an eInd. Mr. Wendell knew where and to whom to go to r-nie moiey for such a purpose ; no man in lie m-uotry knew better ; and although such a sudden demand for so largc a eonm taxod his energies scver- !y. lie sneceded in gettingthe lmnoulit together within the :nelimited. The terms of the het were fully complie I with and the money was put up. .. Pesident Johnson, wt we all knotw to be a historical f(ct, was acquittedl but vory few persons in tho country have hitherto understood how it, was don o. Mr. Wendell sid.that somo of the money went to rjparters.which would have been amonig the last to be sus pected, whereas cortain Senatord aainst wb'ra in upicion was most rife never toiuched a dollar of the money. Mr. Wendell also said that .they ihad several moure votes reured to be Jgiven in favor of acquittal in ease they should bo req 'iied to accom.. iphibh thrat result; but if not needed to acquit, then to be oast for convie tioui. One of the most curious thiings abouit the whwo transaction was the maniner in which the money was paid over after the acquittal had taken pla;c.. It was not handed directliy over trom otto of the parties to the otrner, but wasH lost hU one to lthe othier rin play at card.-N. Y. ,Sun. Many young meon become lawyers or utore bnoauso they have an ideaL -anrd it is about the only idea they have, too-that the professions of law anid medicine involvo so hard work, wi'h plenty of genteel ease and idle -ness. And when they have becomo docrators or lawyers they find that they have to work much harder to keep .themselves supplied with .beer anid 'tobacco' than they would to earn a .genteel living in the capacity of a , street-ear driver.
