A MAN WHO, WITH ORSINI, TRIED TO
ASSASSINATE LOUIS NAPOLEON
NOW AN OFFICER IN THE
UNITED STATES ARMY.
Tie following remarkable sketch
of the career of Lieutenant Do Rumiio
of Custer’s old Seventh Cavalry, now
rise all Frfc^po would lx*. It was a
night of terro. lIjc c ; t y. The
extent ot the conspix>./.y ^ secret
to all except the conspirators. There j
was universal'dread ot all the possi*
bililies of a Commune. During the
night there were 54 killed and 117
wounded.
The storm passed, and the Etnper-
for and Lmpress remained unharmed.
stationed at Bismarck, W. T., is told
by a correspondent: De Rudio is the
man who, with Sergeant O’Xeil, had
such a marvelous two days’experi
ence in the midst of the hostile Sioux
two years ago, keeping them at hay
from cover with a repeating rifle for
hours ; then traveling their country
lor two days without food or knowl
edge of their situation. De Rudio
was originally an officer in the Aus
trian army, hut was expelled and
exiled for sympathy with the op
pressed Italians. ^ #
Louis Napoleon had belonged to
the Italian association of patriots,
had proven a traitor, and was then,
in 1858. in the way of a successful
political revolution. Ilia death would
turn all Europe topsy-turvy, .and
give the oppressed a hearing. On
the 10th of January, 1858, De Rudio
dropped into Paris. He was there
by appointment. lie was a fellow-
conspirator of Felice Orsini. It was
planned that the Emperor should die
at one of his grand balls, at the hand
of a guest’s dagger. De Rudio
called that ignoble, assassination,
criminal. He said : “ Kill him when
he is surrounded by his lancers iu
the public street, when he has every
guard thrown around his imperial
pet son!’’ The plot was changed,
and the now historical scene of Jan
uary 14, 1858, followed. De Rudio’s
book gives a picture of the drama
in front ox the Grand Opera House
that is remarkably distinct.
There were five hand-grenades, or
bombshells, to be thrown—three into
the royal carriage and one some dis
tance in front and one in the rear, to
keep 1 a ;k the crowd until the con
spirators were sure of their work
and escape. The Emperor’s carriage,
with the Emperor and Empress
Eugenie in it. approached the grand
stairway of the opera-house .through
a file of lancers on either side. De
Rudio says lie was standing immedi
ately behind the soldiers when the
■Carriage caine up, watching the con
spirator who was commissioned to
throw the first grenade. When lie
saw bis aim make a curve through
the air, De Radio dropped to the
ground ; quick as the explosion oc
curred ho raised himself up and
tossed his grenade over the heads of
the lancers, and again dropped, wait
ing for Orsini to throw the third one;
but Orsini was binded by the smoke
from De Rudio’s shell and wounded
in the head; this miss of Orsini kept
the conspirators from throwing their
grenades until it was too late; one
more was thrown out of its order.
De Rudio’s shell tell under the
front wheels, killing the horses, the
coachman and tearing out the whole
side of the carriage. There was the
wildest dismay. It was an attack in
the dark. The Ianccis fell back, the
crowd scattered, the horses plunged
to the right and ■ left and confusion
confounded reigned supreme. De
Rudio’s design was to dash through
the lancers and finish bis majesty
with a dagger if the grenades failed.
Orsini’s blindness prevented the ex
ecution of that pait of the piot. De
Rudio knew that his own life was
worth nothing if he broke for tiie
carriage before the third grenade
was thrown. He, therefore, waited
until the third explosion occurred.
The delay in delivering it, and the
fact that it was thrown by the fourth
nmn instead ot the third, demoralised
the working of the plot and gave the
lancers time to rally and. surround
the carriage. De Rudio saw that
personal kn owledge of the Emperor’s
death was impossible at that time.
He withdrew from the scene. There
had been several killed and any
amouut of consternation created, and
our conspirator was pretty well sat
isfied that the object of his attack
was dead. He rapidly realired that
all Paris was ntarted, and before sun*
At three o’clock in the morning De
Rudio was arrested at his lodgings.
A room-mate and fellow-conspirator,
Fieri, li.til been arrested, and, upon
bis relations wit li De Rudio, the lat
ter was snspicioued and brought
before the judge of instuctions for a
preliminary hearing. The plot cov
ered that ctntiogcncy, and in a few
minutes De Rudio proved an alibi
and was discharged. lie was subse
quently rearrested, sentenced to the
guillotine, and Ins sentence was only
commuted on the scaffold steps. lie
was then sentenced to the French
penal settlement in Guinea, Africa,
from which he escaped to America,
where he joined the United States
regular army.

Georgia Tea and Georgia
Corks.
We have been presented by Mr.
D. B. Lumsden, with a sample of tea
and a section of cork wood raised in
Talbot county. The cork is the gen
uine article, fully as soft and elastic
as auy to be found on the hills of
Spain or Portugal, and we learn
thrives and flourishes iu Georgia as
well as in its native soil. A little
enterprise in that direction might
add another element to the wonder
ful revenue producing sources of our
heaven blessed common wealth.
The Jen, we turned over to mater-
fainilias and it was duly “ drawn”
and sampled.
In richness of color the best Young
Hyson does not excel it. The flavor,
too, is pleasant, and even superior to
very many specimens of the Chinese
article which conic packed in those
hieroglyphic covered, dainty boxes.
The appearance ot the leaves,
however, whs not inviting, doubtless
from the lack of the apparatus and
necessary experience iu their prepar
ation tor use. But it was a satisfac
tion to know that along with the
steaming beverage we were not im
bibing poison.
This tea was gathered from shrubs
ten feet in altitude, and grows with
as little care and alien.ion as any
other fruit tree sifter it has fairly
taken loot. All that is necessary is
to shade the plant the first season,
and with proper cultivation they will
then take wire of themselves.
Tea culture is rapidly extending
over Georgia, and thousands of plants
are annually put out from seed of
native production. There is no rea
son on earth why the South should
not become a tea eX|>orting region,
provided it will pay. Ti t a only ques
tion involved is the difference in the
price of labor between China and this
country. In the crowded East the
peasant works almost for nothing and
finds himself. A little riec and a rat
furnishes him a feast. But even this
disadvantage, it seems, would he in a
great degree counter-balanced hy
the cheapness ot cur jaud.
Who can Bay what Georgia, with
her diversified soil and climate, is tiot
capable of producing ? With Iter
early peaches, sand pears, vegeta
bles, rice, sugar cane, tea, clover,
natural grasses, cereals, wines, olives,
figs, chtifns, wool, lime, minerals,
lumber, turpentine, and other mar
ketable products, no people on earth
could be more really affluent and
independent.
Why then speed i early all of our
time and labor * j •»-» cotton, which
barely pays the cost of production.
But the people are at length begin
ning to realize, the true value of the
goodly heritage they possess, and a
bright future is slowly dawning upon
us. .
... — —»■» ..
It is estimated by Mr. Varnedoc,
of Thomas county, that the sand pear
can be made ca-ily to produce 1,000
bushels per acre. His sold for ten
dollars per bushel last year. But at
a single dollar per bushel wbat Cali
fornia gold mine as valuable ?
