In the Senate, after unimportant busi? ness, the unfinished business, being the tariff bil], came up, when Mr. Chandler moved to lay it on the table for to-day, in order-to proceed with tho bills from the Committee on Commerce. Mr. Sher? man said he would not oppose the mo-1 tion of Mr. Chandler, as to-day had been set for tho consideration of bills from | the Committee on Commerce. He said I he didn't know cxaotly what to do about the tariff bill, iu view of the action of the Sonate on Friday last. The question was whether it would be well to await now the tariff bill of the Honse, or to take np and pass the House bill to repeal tho tax on tea and coffee. At any rate, he suggested now that the Senate to? morrow take up and pass the House bill to repeal tho tax on tea and coffee, in view of tho uncertainty whioh prevailed in business circles; for, on Friday, he had received lettors and telegrams from forty leading commercial houses and or? ganizations, asking the moaning ol the action of tho Senate on Friday.

Here ho remains until released by the hammer of the workman. A curious incident took placo recently at a Puris theatre, Tho actor who played "Albert," the blind artist, in V Avaugle, was taken suddenly ill, and tho character was assumed by another who was compelled to read the part, manuscript in hand. The absurdity of a person ufilicted with loss of sight read? ing affecting speeches may be imagined. ? .V v. .In . . -? ?*..< Rumor baa lt that ouq of Vb? membors of the,Murat family, while OH his wfty from England to Fiance, qnito recently, waa -arrested at Calais and compelled to return. Count Murat, or Prince Murat, as some will prefer to call him, ie a mem? ber of the Imperial family; and the pre? sumption on the part of the Thiera Go? vernment that he was bent on some busi? ness in conneotiou with the restoration of the Bonapartes was not unnatural. Ii this report .proves to bo oorreot, it will furnish another and most substan? tial proof that the Thiers Government in painfully sensitive as to the danger which threatens it on the side of the Bonapartes. Nay, more. It seems to imply that tho danger ?B not imaginary, but real. MuoMahon ia still at tho hoad of the army; and while changea nre made in all directions, tho Fronen, army re? mains substantially what it was under tho empire. Tho general feeling is, that while MaoMnhon might at any moment removo President Thiers, it is not in the power of President Thiers to dispeuno with the services of tho oommander-in chiof. In France, things are not yet quite as they Bhonld be. We aro most anxious to see the republic prosper and take root. But what with the daily exe? cutions of CommuuivtH, the inexplicable and fruitless coquetting with royulty, and the awful dreud of tho return of the Bonapartes, wo are not encouraged to believe that Franco hus yet found her goal. Thore must bo more sorrow be? fore there is rest, peace and prosperity. The comical freaks of tho Japanese are exciting much amusement at Wash? ington. They eat ice creum aud hard? boiled eggB by way of a light mid-night supper. Their favorito amusement is to walk up stairs and ride down in the ele? vator, and they wander from one hotel to another, under the impression that all are parts of one stupendous whole oara vansery. Latterly, they have offected the civilized dress; but even here their peculiarity s manifest themselves in boots Boveral sizes too small and gloves many sizes too large. lu their now rig they boar such a striking likeness to the ordinary fifteenth amendment as to be frequently mistaken for servant".. At their late reception Iwnkura's yonug nephew was so miatakeu,nnd ordered by a Congressional gueflt to bring some re? freshments for his wife. The youngster imagining this to be a high mark of honor, coinpliod, and was rewarded with a fifty cent stump. Upon receiving it he bowed several times to tho ground, and then ruHhed ont of tho room. Shortly afterwards, a sensation was created by his re-appearance in full official robe?, with the fifty cent stamp pinned con? spicuously on his breast. Ho evidently regarded the stamp as the badge of some order of nobility, ns did all his brother Japs, who followed him around among thu guests, with pride aud delight pic? tured ou their face.

Tho murderer escaped, and but few details or the crime have been received. It appears that a Mr. Mac Daniel owns a mill on the Georgia Rail? roud, aud Tuesday afternoon, about 1 o'clock, his son, a young man fifteen years old, entered the mill. There was in tho building at the time only a negro min, whoso nutue is not given. What paBsed between tho parties is not known, but in a few minutes the report of a pis? tol was heard. Parties entering tho mill found MacDauiel shot t brough tho breast nud in u dying condition. He hud beau shot by tho negro, and tho latter had mado his escape. Yonug MacDauiel ! lived only for a few minutes. Parties immediately started in pursuit of tho murderer, and hu waa traced to a point I three miles from Augusta, but there tho ohio was lost. A curious example of Chinese imita? tiveness is reported from lincho, a town about 100 miles Went of Pekin. It seems that tho Rev. Isaac Pierson, a Christian missionary, preuohing to the people, seeing sigus of disorder, quietly withdicw from tho place where he was speakiug. He was followed by a rab? ble of fellows, who stoned him, knocked him down, and otherwise shamefully handled him. Ho reached home with soiled and torn clothing, and blood run? ning freely from wounds on his head and f ice. Tho good man, evidently, could not have been treated much worso if ho hud been a Chinaman, timidly shrinking through tho streets of tho Christian city of San Francisco. Tho remains of a mastodon have re? cently been discovered in tho swamp nour Otisville, Orange County, New York. Nearly nil the bonos havo been dug out, and tho skeleton, when put to? gether, will bo fourteen feet high and twenty-iivo foot long. Tho contetits of ; the stomach were also discovered, aud found to consist of very large leaves and long blades of strange grass, from ono inch to three inches wide. ANOTHER RAILROAD.-A bill for a broad gauge railroad from Philadelphia I to New York has passed tho New Jersey Assembly. This may yet end in auother lino through from Baltimoro to New York. A Connecticut rat, during tho lato cold ?nap, triod to nibble something from nu axe, bael its ton g no stuck fast to tho iron, and froze to elcath. Upwards of 40,000 persons aro assem? bled, within a length of seventy milos, diamond hunting, noar the Yaa! River, Capo. At Virdeo, III., last week, a ohild named Hilliard bit its touguo and bled ! to death, before the flow could bo I stopped. j 209*persons were killed in tiiea'reots I of London, lust year, by vehicles. - t...v?.M?vi?.t-?nr .?.. < k?". A casa somewhat resembling the fa? mous Tichborne trial, and, itv one re speot, at least, reminding one of Obarles Reade's "A Terrible Temptation," is soon to be tried at Constantinople. The story is romantic enoogh for a novel or Elsy, and runs thus: There ?B now in london a Turk, aged about twenty-five years, calling himself Mustapha Djehad Bey, and claiming to be the lawfnl son of the late Kibriali Mehemet Pacha, ex Grand Vizier, and whilom the Sultan's1 envoy to the Oourt of St. James. In 1847-such is the claimant's story Kibrisli's wife, tho widow of a European physician, bore to him a Bon. the pre? sent Mustapha Djuhad Bey. On the following year, tho Pacha went to reside at the British Court, and during his ab? sence, the child becamo so seriously ill that its mother, feariug that should it die, ber husband would take another wife, foigned to giv? birth to another child, which, in the knowledge of a eunuch and a woman of the harem named Fatmah, was merely a supposititious child, bought or borrowed. But the first born recovered, Pacha having already been told that Heaven had blcHsed him with another son. The mother was caught in the toils she her? self had woven, for Fatmah and the eunuch used their knowledge of her de? ceit to over-ride and rule her. The mo? ther, Melek Khanum, becamo weary of this state of affairs, and confided her troubles to Reshid Eifeudi, the Pacha's man of business. Fatmah was soon dis? missed, and the eunuch waa smothered in his bath. Madam Kibrisli was tried for the murder, but the charge waa not substantiated. The Pachu carno to Cou- 1 utantinople during the progress of the trial, and finding things in such a stute of imbroglio, divorced his wife. The1 question of the legitimacy of the first born then arose, and Melek Khanum, actuated, as she now says, by n feeling of revenge for the divorce and the Pacha's subsequent marringa, averred that Mustaphb Djehad Bey bad boen borrowed also. Theo the boy Djehad became a wanderer, served as a menial in Egypt, joined the Papal Zouaves, be? came a lay inmato at the Convent of St. Lazurre, and when his father died last September, went to England, and there proposed to defend his claims to Ki? briali Pacha's property. WORDS PROM PAMS.-We have re? ceived a private letter from Puris, dated 28th February, which says the winter I has beau a gloomy oue, with no better) prospects for tho spring. Paris is dull and the people are suffering. Numbers of untented 6tores and vacant apart? ments meet the eye on ovory side. The shop-koopers are very much depressed; they aro without stock and with but very little credit; and even if their shelves were filled with goods, wheroare the purchasers? None but tho few struy Americans that flutter around for awhile, merely giving them a chance to keep up appearances of business. The multitude are clamoring for a ruler; they want strong Government, and, moro than all, they want to bring the seat of govern? ment back to Paris. The present state of things cannot continue, to exist; tho excitement for a republic, for which the working classes fought so desperately, is fast fading away; a decided re action bus taken place, and they are again longing for all that pomp and show which they have boen educated to; they wont once moro to see tho Champs Elysees thronged with gilded equipages, and the Boule? vards enlivened with the clattering hoofs of the cnirnssieur. People are goltiug away from Paris; there are strong sigus of difficulties approaching, and a strong fleet is keeping a watch in the channel. Many think that Napoleon will mako an effort, oven at tho risk of his head, to re-enter France. There is a guuerul feel? ing of insecurity, und families that eau aro leaving tho once bright and gay Paris. - Haiti more Sun. A witness of a recent shouting affray in Memphis, Tenn., utterly refused to j testify in tho case, and was committed to jail for contempt of court. A re? porter of the A valanche visited bim there, and to him tho witness, whose name is Perkins, told the following story ac? counting for his eccentric conduct: When he was about eighteen years old, and at college, his chum shot another student while in a fit of auger, and he, Perkius, was compelled lo testify in tho ease, which resulted iu a verdict of wil? ful murder, and his young friend was hanged. While kneeling besido tho dishonored corpso of his room-mate he "took a solemn oath never nguiu to testi? fy in any case where his testimony might : possibly cause tho extremo penally of the law to be inflicted upon any person." j He hus kept this oath religiously, and1 ! now says that, rather than bruak it, he j ! will remain iu jail for life. ! -.-f A doctor, down in Nottingham, X. H., ; received a letter asking advice, the I other ?lay, which cou tai u ed two .stamps j for rettun postage. After he had !

The good lady, to satisfy herself on this point, "licked" tho othor stamp, and was prostrated several days by tho ex p?? riment. Tho doctor thinks it was a South Carolina Ku Klux plot to annihi? late him, and warns tho people to be? ware. Grant is a civil service reformer, in a j hurry.

ARREST OF ALLEGED SOUTH CAROLINA BANK ROBBERS.- The New York Tribune, ot Friday, says: Detectives hare been for some time on th? track of the robbers of several Sooth Carolina banks, abd yesterday Deputy Sheriff Jarvis reeeived a requisition from the Governor of South Carolina, approved by Governor Hoffman, for the arrest of J. L. SteavenB, one of those alleged robb?rs, and his delivery to Ro? bert Soirver, who is charged with the duty of taking Steavens to South Oare lina. On this requisition, Mr. Jarvis arrested a young man who passes nuder the name of D. R. Eberhard, olaims to be au iron merchant from Chicago, and is thc person interested in manufacturing and selling tho "charm bells," sold as relics of the Chicago tire. A man named Sample identifies Eberhard as a person who is known to him as J. L. Steavens, and who sold to him a quantity of bank notes and bills of broken banks, Baid to have been a portion of the money stolen from thu South Carolina banks. Eber? hard strenuously denies this, claims that it is a case of mistakon identity, and calls to support his statement Georgo P. Smith, who resides in the Hoffman House. Mr. Smith declares that Eber? hard is not Steavens, and that Sample is mistaken, and he has given tho sheriff references which have excited reason? able doubts in tho miud of that officer. Mr. Jarvis, ou Consulting counsel, con? cluded to retain Eberhard in. his own custody ontil to-day, and to await fur? ther developments; for, although anxious to perform his duty rigidly, he is de? sirous of giving the accused an opportu? nity to correct a possible mistake. Fate and the superior forces of Cabrai have once more triumphed over tho irre? pressible President of Santo Domingo. Baez has again lost the town of Sava neta, and having neither money nor am? munition, and probably no men, was unable to repol the attack of Cabrai, (who was reported to be ia the same im? pecunious, armless and nrmyless condi? tion as his fierce enemy,) and has been defeated by him at San Juan. To add to his misfortunes, he is now in danger of assassination. Aa attempt ha? already been made to kill him, aud the assassins were so far successful that Adolfo Coon, a cousin of Baez, was shot in the street. The mnrderer, one Juan Julio, was ar? rested, but subsequently escaped. TnE LONGEST BniDOE IN THE WORLD, j The Tensas aud Mobile Bridge, or bridger, on the Mobile and Montgomery Railroad, extends from Tensas Station, on the Mobile and Montgomery Road, to tho city of Mobile, a distance of fifteen milos, crossing both Mobile and Tensas Rivers, and including ten draws, one for each of tho navigable channels into which tho rivers are divided. The bridge itself is constructed of wood, but its pil? lars or supports are iron cylinders, which rest on a solid surface of wooden piles driven down evenly with tho bottom of tho stream and tho mud of tho interven? ing morasses, It has been three years in the course of construction, at u cost of abont $1,500,000, and now that it has been successfully completed, it is per? haps tho longest structure on tho globe. TRAGEDY AT TUE DINNER TABLE.-In New York, on Monday, a Gorman named j Frevert, whilo intoxicated, shot his wife I at the diuner tablo, while surrounded by their little oin ld reu. The act was thought accident, aud not design. The ball from the pistol entered her mouth, aud taking a backward und upward direction, crashed through her skull into her brain. Shu fell dead on tho threshold of the mom. Fro vert fora moment seemed iu capablo of comprehending the extent of his net; but as he woko up to the con- j sciousness that he had killed his wife, ho 1 became distracted. Ho bent over hor j fuce and kissed her over and over again, , and called on her to come back to life. Ho subsequently became a raving maniac. South American papers say that an in? surrection of a number of slaves hap? pened on the Otb of February, near Rio de Janeiro. It seems that the slaves, in? toxicated by tho villainous native drink of caxache, and armed with bill-hooks, attacked the residences of Seuhorn Teixeira Cortes and Banho, near tho vil? lage of Sapucuiu, in tho parish of Ap- 1 parecida, and made a desperate attempt to force tho heavy wooden doors of tho ? houses, iu order to murder their masters. 1 A few shots from a rovolver caused tho ; drunken blacks to flee, and a telegraphic ! despatch to the capital brought a large posse of mounted policemen to thu ! scene of thu revolt. Half of the slaves were captured within a few days, and al? most all the others within a week. Prince Bismarck is reported to have romurked, lately, in the course of a con? versation upon tho subject of tho capa? city of thoso employed in tho service of tho (ierman Government, that among the Jews there are undoubtedly rela? tively moro mon fit to hold publio posi I lions than in nny other denomination. j Au unknown mau visited Vinegar Hill, near Bowling Green, Kentucky, nu tho 10th, aud deliberately blew his brains out with a pistol. All that tho suicido loft was a 1.:tie noto, requesting to be buried in the old fort, and thirty five dollars for his funeral expenses. Next. LaHt your proved a fatal ono for the Swiss guides. Twelve of them lost their lives by casualties which occurred on tho Alps. Tho English Government in Iudiu is taking precautions to prevent the exter? mination of the race of elephants by sportsmen. The burials in Calfary Cemetery. Long Island, arc at thc rate of 30,000 bodies per annum, or over eighty interments per day. i Lato accounts represent tho internal slave Iradi) of Africa to bo conducted on au extendive ami most cruel scale. Might make-* righi iu Africa, AdAssiz'a FISHES.-A letter from th? HaBsler expedition, at Bio Janeiro, tolls of the good use the naturalists are mak? ing of their long detention. Sixteen large oases of specimens are already on 4 their homeward way. With other epewi mens, however, Professor Agassiz has not been equally fortunate, as an enthu? siastic servant at the boneo of a friend where he was staying poured the aleohol off the fishes, scaled them and served them up at the table fried. The Bonapartist agents in France tell some strange stories to the credulous peusantry to secare their espousal of tho bauisbed Emperor's cause. In the Sooth of France, among other things, they go about telling the peasants that there-' turn of Napoleon III will cause Alsace and Lorraine to be restored to France, by means of a projected marriage be? tween the Prince Imperial and the niece of the Emperor William, who has pro? mised to give these two provinces to her as a dowry. Two farmers of Clay County, Mo., were recently bitten by a mad dog, and, fearing that they would be attacked by hydrophobia and injure their wives and children, they had heavy irons made and fastened upon them. Their hands were securely manacled, strong irons baie were fastened about their waists, and to this WHS welded a chain, one end of which was fastened to a ring-bolt in the floor; and thus they lay awaiting the upproach of the most terrible of mala? dies. N "Vive l'Empereur!" is ss startling a cry at present in Pr .is, as "Vivo Ia Be public!" would have been eighteen months ago. Yet citizens were surprised to hear the former repeated, a few even? ings since, under the very nose of a po? lice inspector. After a vigilant search on the house-tops, the offender was found to be an esoaped parrot. General McMahon appears to have made his devotion to the Government of Louis Napoleon profitable.
