The eruption is unabated. Rio Janeio, March 27. There have been 536 yellow fever deaths in this city in the past fortnight. The Emperor visited the theatre last night ;He was enthusiastically greeted ??t rou&j and .on his return to jthie city, He-waa-nearly astir this morning, and the steamer Herilius was the centre of observation as she lay in the harbor decorated with bunt ing. The Herilius has been fitted out especially for the accommodation of the Emperor and Empress, who. em barked to-day at 8 o'clock, amid great popular demonstrations of attach ment and loyalty. The shipping in the harbor was gaily decorated. Ac companying their majestys on board were the Princess Imperial and hus band, Count D Eu Chief, and the civil and military authorities. As the steamer moved from her morings, sa lutes were fired, and cheer upon cheer given, Steaming out ot the habor, the Herilius ran into a transport of Bra zilian navy, badly damaging her. The Henlus was not hurt, and no live8 were lost. The Emperor and Empress displayed great coolness, and courage. They were both standing on the side, along which after the collision the ves sels crushed past each other. The ter rified passengers rushed aft to avoid being, as they feared, crcshed to death; and in doing so, jammed the Empress against the door of the cabin. From this unpleasant position, the corres pondent of a New York journal had the good fortune to extricate her Maj esty. A survey of the effects of the collision on the Herilius, revealing that she had escaped unhurt, she pro ceeded on her journey to North Amer- ca. The Princess Isabel will ict as re gent during the absence of the Emper or and Empress. Her husband, the Count D'Eu continues, a member of the Council of States, over which Mar quis De Caxias will preside. WASHINGTON. Southern Pacific Railroad Bill Post poned News and Gossip.

The British steamer Great Western, went ashore on a sand bar off Amityvllle, L. I., about 7 o'clock Saturday night, when the storm raged heavily and a dense fog prevailed.

The Court says the govern ment has the privilege to decide the conditions upon which it will submit to the suit, and theparties aggrieved by illegal assessments, must see to it that they comply with the provisions of the law ; as there was no appeal taken from the assessment, there could be no recovery. The Committee on tombstones for national cemeterys to-day heard ad ditional witnesses, but will net make a final report until they hear Genera Meigs, who is now in Europe.

The captain and his wife were lost. The crew was saved. Liverpool, March 27. Powers, the first officer of the ship Marcia, who was tried for shooting two men at sea, has been acquitted. The shooting was justifiable. He Objected to "Slang." A good anecdote has lately crossed the ocean of an American girl who was playing croquet in England last summer. "What a horrid scratch !" said she indignantly, when her mallet once fail ed of its duty and she missed shot. "Oh, my dear!" said an English cousin, "you should not use such slang expressions." " What should I have said ?" asked the American. " You might have said," re plied the English maiden, after canvass- mg nere vocaDUiary ior a penecuy un exceDtionable nhrase-" you might have said, , What a beastly fluke!' " Thirty-three mines in Colorado have been opened to a depth of from one hundred to nine hundred feet since 1859. Five of them were idle last year but the rest produced ore valued at nearly $2,000 000. Since their discov ery they have yielded $26,980,000. Pennsylvania court stenographers have to take this oath : "You solemn ly swear that the testimony that you take in this case shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." This would seem to do away entirely with the necessity of swearing witnesses. Bad luck is a man with his hands in his pockets and his pipe in his mouth looking on to see how it will come out. Good luck is a man of pluck with his sleeves rolled up and working to make it come out right. NEW ADVEKTISEJIENT Flour ! Flour ! 1 AA Sacks Jersey Mill, Swingood and IVU O. C.
