A certain number of pupils of the School of
Medicine at Paris are engaged in organising a subscription to
present to Dr. Naaton a case of surgical instruments in
ivory and gold, as a mark of their admiration for him con-
duct with regard to Garibaldi.
The Aruora Europa of Florence publishes a letter
from Mazzini, in which be complains that every word the
moderate journals publish respecting him is a falsehood,
that they are labouring to sow mistrust between him and
Garibaldi ; between the men who followed the latter to the
battle-field, and those who bad preparrd the campaign by
their &postdate, that is, by preaching Hazzinian doctrines.
He conclude* with declaring that he has one thing in com-
mon with Garibaldi ; and that is the recollections of their
youthful days when they both swore together to be &Wife'
to Italy. .

The German journals announce the approaching

The sum accorded for the reconstruction of the

An alarming accident occurred three days agu at
the Grand Open, Buis, during a rehearsal of La Alueete do
Portiei. Mdlle. Livry, who was to play the part of Fenella,
having approached too near a lamp, her dress caught fire.
In her terror she rushed across the stage, when she was met
by a fireman named Muller, who, throwing a cloak round
her, succeeded in extinguishing the flames. Mdlle. Livry
was then conveyed to her dreesiog-room, and her burns
having been dressed by the two doctors on service, she was
removed to her own residence. The hands of the fireman
were rather severely burnt. The answer given on Sunday
to inquiries made was that Mdlle. Livry was far more in-
jured than was at first supposed. .

few blind in Leipsic, those of other countries will be
admitted." _

A letter from Memel (Prussia) states that the
trade in amber, which hag been limited for some years, has
recently received a fresh ;Impetus from the discovery of
several rich veins in that neighbourhood. Most of the
amber found near Memel is sold to merchants at Holstein
and Leipsic, who export it to Turkey.
Accounts from Roubaix, Tourcoing, and Sedan
state that the manufacturers of those towns have received
large orders be woollen stuffs. sufficient to keep all their
hands employed for • long time to come. Unfortunately,
the ribaad weavers at Lyons and St. Etienne are not in so
prosperous a position. When such operatives are seen
seeking employment on the railways in the neighbourhood,
their distress must be very great. Such cum, however, are
not frequent at preeent, and the last accounts are favourable.
A letter from Alexandria states that a plan is in
contemplation of prolonging the Egyptian Railway as far as
Upper Egypt, with a branch which would join that country
to the Red Sea. This work—the realisation of which it so
important for the interests of the country—would serve in
some measure as the complement to the Suez Canal.
The Siecle of to-day says : —l° There has
been a good deal of talk the last day or two
of • new work, by M. Michelet, ' The 13orcii-re'---• vil-
lainous word, but a touching thing. This book, full of
eloquent, ingenious, and profound passages, is, to describe
it briefly, • fine and admirable history of the devil, certainly
the best and most veracious that has ever been written
of that personage, who has, nevertheless, not been with-
out historians. M. Michelet has followed him from tie
middle ages to the present day, upon desert land, in
the palace, in convents, at the confessional. He snatches
from him all his old masks, and the last one which he has
worn, that of M. Tartuffe. That worthy man will doubtless
utter load cries in reading ' The SorciZme.' He will cry,
am in the cue of Las Penne et les Femmes,' that it is
impiety, irreligion, immorality, and no on. He may calum-
niate at his leisure, and everybody will read this powerful
study, going to the very foundations of history, of psycho-
logy, and of the human heart."
