Most men have their aversions. Our friend Bob had an especial aversion to cats. The n live ot a caterwauling,at night, would arouse' him from the soundest slumber, or plunge him into a fit of night-mare, while the ap pearance ot a cat never tailed to excite his combativeness ; and woe betide the unlucky tabby that chanced to come within reach of his hickory crook. Whether in his youthful days he had been frightened by a big black mouser, with glaring eyeballs and “loDg pickers and stingers," or whether he had ever received personal infury of any sort from any cat we never learned, but one thing was cer tain, our friend Bob was the declared and ever vigilant enemy Qf the whole feline race. He i rained his dog not only to worry but to kill cats, and it waa a remarkable fact that cats were usually scarce in his neighbor hood. He had retired to his bed one sultry sum mer night, and had just fallen into a pleasant doze, when he was aroused by a cat, call which proceeded from a neighboring garden. *‘H_n ,hat cat!” he muttered, as he en deavored to shut out the abhorrent sound from his ears. But all in vain. If, like the spirit of the murdered Duncan, it had cried “sleep no more ! to all the house’’ it could not more effectually have banished sleep from the pillow of Bob. For long weary hours he rolled and tossed, muttering male dictions upon the innocent disturberer of his repose, “or any other cat." After a restless night he awoke In the morning, only to nurse his wrath and to imagine all manner of dia bolical devices against that particular cat and cats in general- The next day while passing along the street in the vicinity of the garden from which came the annoyance of the previous evening, Bob sud denly encountered a white cat. Their eyes met. Tabby, as if by instinct, knew her foe, poped through the basement window, and was out of sight in an instant. But Bob marked the house, which he felt sure was the home of his tormentor, determining in his mind that he would avail himself of the first favorable opportunity to quiet that disturber of bis peace. Going and return ing, he frequently went out of his way in the hope of taking that cat by surprise, bnt if he got a view of the watchful animal, it was only for an instant as it daned away from his dog. One pleasant starlight erenlng, about ten o’clock, Bob was returning to his lodgings, armed as usual with a heaw hickory cane- He had been to see “the Doctor” in the Lane, where he had abundantly indulged, and he was in an excellent humor with every created thing on earth except cats. As he approached the portico in front of the bouse, what should he see but the identical white cat, perched quietly on the rail, close to one of the pillars, where the Venetian blind?, which enclosed the portico, were slightly ajar. Now, thought Bob to himself, I’ve got you, my good fellow. Raising the cane and approaching noiselessly and cau tiously he aimed a desperate blow at the white body of the unsuspectinng, perhaps at that moment passing, feline. Crash! went the heavy cane! The blow was well aimed— down went the cat—a heavy fall on the floor of the portico, was followed by groans of agony, and the frantic cry of “murder! mur der ! Oh, my Lord, I’m killed! Petrified with horror. Bob never stopped to look after his game. Before he had time to reflect nr determine, either what he had done or what to do, bis legs had carried him far down the street and around the corner, out of hearing of the cties of his victim. ; Pull of wonder, amazement and terror, he baited for breath. There was no pursuit. What had he done? Who had he slain? Certainly it was no cat. He determined to take a circuit round, and, without making himself known, to investigate the mysterious affair. As he approached the house he heard a bustle within—a light was on the portico—- aereral neighbors had assembled and a doctor had been sent for, while a man was lying on the floor, rolling and writhing in the greatest agony. Os course Bob was astonished to learn that while the unfortunate man, in the enjoyment of the cool evening breeze, WM sleeping on a settee in the porch, with his unbooted foot resting on the railing, some unknown miscreant had dealt him a fearful blow, by which several of the small bones of the foot were broken. Bob affected to be as much surprised at this horrible atrocity and certainly was great ly more pained at the occurrence than any of those- present. But he was both ashamed aod afraid to enter into an explanation of the mystery. And though ever after he deeply regretted the circumstance and sincerely pitied the unfortunate victim of his rashness, he never told his fault, but let concealment like a worm i' the bud feed on bis damask cheek, while, with old cognac and whisky, he managed to banish melancholy. He how ever nevera fter went cat fighting by star light, and we believe in course of time aba ted some what his strong antipathy to cats.

' A Phrenological View of President JAutau. In a recent number of the Phrenological Journal we find this analysis of the character of “ Andy Johnson •. ” “ Phrenologlcally considered, he has a large brain, well supported by an excellent constitution. The brain is specially heavy in the base, including large perspective or gans ; broad between the eais in Destruc tiveness, Combativeness and Alimentiveness; large in the lower back-bead, including the social affections, and were it not that Mr. Johnson has also a full top-bead, including Conscientiousness, Veneration and Benevo lence, he w ould indeed be imperious or des potic. As it is, lie posseses a very strong will, the greatest fortitude, and almost un limited powers of endurance, with courage and lorce to match. Cautiousness is not over large ; Secretiveness is full, and the in tellectual faculties are prominent and active. Self-Esteem is full, and considerable pride of character will be manifested. Owing to large Approbativene9s, he will never be haughty, proud, or domineering, but will be modest, just, respectful and judicious, but always strong and earnest. That he will freely con fer with his advisers, getting the best judg meLt f ora all sources, there can be no doubt; and t iat he will be master of the situation, be governed by what he conceives to be right and proper, holding all men to the most rigid accountability to principles, there can be no question. There will be no child’s play with such a man. He will be calm, self-regulated, and determined. His organization will incline him to take a comprehensive view of questions, and to consider the interests'of the people. There is nothing aristocratic in bis composition, but be is eminently democratic in the best sense of that term, grauting the same rights to ail men, that he claims lor himself. There is not the slightest touch or pretension to royally, or the feeling that “I am better than thou;” nor would he play the sycophant to lords or crowned heads. He is, and always will be, plain Andrew Johnson. He can be used by others only in the interest of the people. He is benevolent and even reforr maton' in spirit, but conservative in princi ple If severe to the wicked, he will be just; aud to the humble and penitent, he wiil be kind. Hi* physiognomy has an expression of anxious care, as though he were peering into the future, trying to divine the will of Providence. He has not that joyous, hope ful, sunny expression which illumined the face of Mr. Lincoln, but is more sedate and stern-looking, which is in keeping with the character of the man. Mr. Lincoln’s head was narrow between the ears ; Mr. John son’s is very broad at this point. Mr. Lin coln's was high in the centre, indicating hu mility, meekness, and devotiqu; Mr. Johu son is not deficient in those organs, but they do not exert a very marked influence. Exe cutiveness is the leading trait of his chaiac ter, and be his Presidential career a success or a failure, it will not lack propeUing power or the spirit to punish wickedness. He may show leniency, but it will not be until lie first sees penitence on the part of the offen der." Important Experiment with Protected Gunpowder. The system of protecting gunpowder, in vented by a Mr. Gale, was tried at the recent Wimbledon rifle meeting in England with singular results. The London Star gives the following account of the proceedings: Slow matches were burned into vessels bolding gunpowder mixed with the protec tive powder, and they only served to ignite a few isolated grains. vesuvian matches were flung into the powder, and were igno miniously extinguished. A red hot poker was stirred through the powder, with no better (or worse) effect. But by far the most convincing test is that which was proposed by Lord Bury—namely, that a quantity of pure gunpowder should be placed in the cen tre of the protected gunpowder and the former fired. This experimeut was also ex hibited. The pure gunpowder was placed in a sort of pit inside the vessel, and careful ly covered over with the proteetcd powder; when the former exploded, It simply blew' what was above it into the air, and had no effect in igniting the great mass which lay beneath and around it. Thereafter a portion of that surrounding mass was riddled in the usual way, and the residue exploded as ordi nary powder will explode. It requires only to be seen how larger ma chinery for the sitting ot the powder and restoring it to its original state, may be con structed so as to be easily used in a sudden emergency. For, though the advantages which the Invention offers to the use of pow der at home are sufficiently great, It is neces sary to its adoption by the army and navy that its mechanical appliance should be of the swiftest and readiest kind. An objection has been raised on the ground that, after the gunpowder had been sifted, some portion of the protective powder would adhere to the grains. This is not the case, as has been S roved by miscroscopic investigation; though [r. Gale shows that, though it were the case, it would be no objection, as at present the coating of the powder with blacklead, while in course of manufacture, gives additional force to the explosion. The material which thus renders gunpow der temporarily innocuous is simply glass ground down to an exceedingly fine powder; various other substances have been tried (es jjecieiiy flint, which, however, became flouiy and dusty,) but no one bas been found so useful and successful as glass. The cost of it is thirty shillings per ton. At present Mr. Gale advances three pounds of his powder to one of gunpowder as the safest proportion ; but a much smaller proportion renders the gunpowder perfectly non-explosive; with this difference, however, that in equal parts of gunpowder and protective powder the former will bum though it does not explode. A proportion ot two to one burns slowjy, three to one allows a few grains to ignite at haphazard, fonr to one is mere dead material. The rapidity with which the powder can be separated is somewhat remarkable, perhaps owing toftlMr material with which it is mixed. Another advantage offered by this material is that it keeps the powder perfectly dry, however the mixture may bo exposed to the air; and it is yell known that by itself gun powder rapidly absorbs moisture from the at mosphere and.becomes for the time useless. Another instance of young ladies devoting themselves to medical studies, is mentioned in the Journal de Saint Petereburgh. The university regulations in Russia do not admit females, but a Mdlle. K , who had a great desire to study medicine, some time since applied to the authorities of Chen burgh for permiMlon to follow the medical course, stating that she intended to devote her ac quirements to the service of the Cossacks, who had a superstitious objection to being treated by men, and always have resource to ignorant old women instead. The young lady's proposal was accepted, and the Cos sack Regiment of OrenburgU granted her an allowance of’twenty-eight rouble per month. Mdlle. K passed her examination in May last, for the first half of her course of study, as well as, if not better than any of the male students, and the same regiment has-since sent her a present of 300 roubles as aw en couragement.

I QUVri PLK MIKDERM FRANCE. Out* Man Kill* Five Fmum to Obtain Their Money—The Criminal Sentenced to death. fPa rig Correspondence of the London Morning Post.] A most dreadful murder, iu which five per sons fell victims and a sixth narrowly es caped with her life, came on for trial at the tribunals on the sth inatanst. The shocking tradgedy took place on the evening of the 17th March, at Favril, a small commune situated near Avernues. The prisoner's name is Constantin-Joseph Manesse. nicknamed the ‘‘Grand Bumenlins ;’’ he is a laborer, and lived at Favril. He committed the butchery for the sake of obtaining possession cf a small inheritance, and took the lives of five per sons solely with the view to escape from the consequences of the first assassination. The act of accusation cites the following among other facts : “A few minutes before sever, o’clock on the 17th of March last, a terrible and bloody drama was enacted at Favril. Six persons fell under the blows of one as sassin ; five died in the course of the night in an utterly unconscious state, and unable to utter a single word.— The sixth waa a long time in great danger, but ultimately recovered. The first victim was Isidore Largilliere. He was found in his stable, his face horribly mutilated, and with one of his eyes knocked out. From the nature of the gashes it seemed clear thi.t a hatchet had been the instrument used in this brutal attack. The second victim was young largilliere, seventeen years of age, who was found by the side of his father His sknll was fractured iu every part, aud the brains protruded from a dreadful wound on the side of the head. The third who en countered the attacks of the murderer was a young, woman named Bibiane, sister of young Largilliere, nineteen years of age.— She was overtaken and struck down within a lew yards of the house wbHe seeking safety iu flight. Her head exhibited eight wounds, by two of which the skull was knocked in. The fourth vic tim was Desiree Largilliere, sister ot Isidore, and who lived in an adjoining house. She received five wounds on the head, the skull being fractured, as in the last case, by two of the blows. The fifth was Leopoldine Lar gilliere, sixteen, daughter ot Desiree. She succumbed to two dreadful blows on the head, one of which was dealt witli such vio lence as to knock her brains out. Desiree and Leopoldine were struck down on the threshold of Largilliere’s house, when they were probably hastening for assistance on seeiug the blows dealt to the first victims and hearing the agonizing screams ol Bibiane.— The widow Largilliere, aged thirty-eight, the only survivor of this shocking tragedy, was severely wounded in the head in four places, and dangerously cut under the chin. She was found lying against the open door of the house by which Bibiaue had fled, and close to whom were Desiree and Leopoldine. Some neighbors heard the blows, and exclamations of terror, and cries for help; but such was the well-known character of the murderer as a brutal and ferocious fellow, that no one had courage enough to go to the assistance of the suflerors until the murderous crimes bad been consummated. The woman Largil liere, who, after some length of time, was restored to consciousness, stated that when at supper with her son and daughter, she heard her husband cuter the yanl with his wagon and team of horses. She sent her son to the stable. A few moments after wards Bibiaga took up the lamp to join her lather and brother. After her brother left the room she felt herself struck, but did not see her assailant, and immediately became unconscious. Nothing whatever was stolen from the house or from the persons ot the victims." Very shortly before the murder Manesse was seen by a man named Peize ; and, after the perpetration of the crime, foot-marks corresponding with such as would be made by the sabots worn by the prisoner were observed. The murderer was traced across the meadows to his house and arrested by the gendarmerie. Manesse at first declared that he was else where at the time of the murders, but this was manifestly too improbable to encourage him iu the hope of proving an alibi. On be ing arrested he inquired if any of tbe vic tims survived, and when he was told that one was still living, he seemed from his man ner to be afraid that his euilt would thus be proved. He had changed his clothes and washed his trowsers, which latter, however, retained some perceptible marks of blood Largilliere, whose memory enfeebled by the terrible alarm and agitation into which she had been thrown, failed to recall the features of tbe assassin, who. however, so far from taking advantage of this circumstance to insist upon his innocence, was observed to defend himself with much less bold- nes* and resolution than before. The un happy widow never suspected anybody else bnt him : she never ceased to bear in mind his violent character, and his want of money, often expressed to her after her family had succeeded to the land and buildings which they inherited. Manesse was scarcely able to bear the look of this woman; and at the moment especially when she uttered a prayer to God, and, uncuveridg her head, displayed the wounds to the assassin who had inflicted them, he was finable to suppress an internal agitation, wfikSi, a9 he declared, would com pel him to confess his guilt; and on the fol lowing day Manesse did acknowledge that he was the author of this dreadful tragedy. But he made several statements with the view if possible, of lessening the terrible re sponsibility which devolved upon him.- lie declared at a preliminary examina tion before the magistrate that he had premeditated the murder not only of Isidore Largilliere, but of all his relatives, In order to clear the way to his succession to a pro perty which he had long ardently coveted He said, however, that this series of atro cious crimes had been suggested to him by one Atnauld Presse, the husband of tbe sec* ond sister ol Isidore, who was to share the firoperty with him; but this was energetical y denied by Presse, and rendered very un likely from many circumstances, and, ulti mately, Manessee confessed that these mur derous deeds originated solely with himself; that he alone conceived and executed the de sign of murdering Isidore Largilliere, the head of the family ; and that he took the lives of five other persons solely to insure his safety from apprehension and punishment. The criminal is condemned to death. A Washington despatch to the St. Louis Democrat says that in answer to the applica tion of a Northern Congressman for the ap pointment ot one of his constituents to an internal revenue office in South Carolina, the President said that he means to go upon the theory that there were enongh capable and loyal men in that and every other of the late Rebel States to fill the offices and reorganize and sustain the State Government. The reported intended abdication of King Leopold of Belgium in favor of the Duke of Brabant is contradicted. The old king has quite regained his health, his physicians say he will live for years, and he displays all bis old energy nnd activity in the conduct of public affairs. »; The Richmond Republic says some bad boys have injured Hart's statue of Mr. Clay, in the Capitol yard of that city, by throwing stones at it, breaking the right' side of the shirt collar and. indenting and disfiguring both thedapels of the coat. The face, back and both legs bear sundry marks of having been struck.
