COUNT CApO D,ISTRIA


!, where he was filling public situation of
t trust under government in the year 1902,
: at the time of my visiting that island, and
was held in high esteem by his fellow citi-
zens. Corfu and the rest of the Ionan
Islands were then under the protection of
Russia but enjoyed form of government
/ OF their own, as has been the case since
their occupation by Great Britain. The
! Representative of the Russian Monarch at
! that time residing in Corfu, was Count
Mocenlgo nobleman, who, by his Impair
tal conduct, had gained the esteem of pei
sons of all parties. He lived in a style of
splendor well becoming his high station,
and 1t was at his hospitabls table, that
recollect seeing, for the first time, Count
Capo dIstria. One could observe, even at
that early period of that gentleman's public
career, that he possessed all the neces-
sary elements for ensuring his future
elevation. Gen. Romieuz, the representa-
tive OF the French Consular Government to
the Septinsular Republic, near to whom [
sat on that day, said to me, pointing to the
Count :" Get homme ira bien loin dams al
carriere diplomatic. lines lui faut que des
circumstances favorables." The Generals
/ prophecy has long been verified; but its
final and most triumphant accomplishment
IS even now taking place, by the Counts
elevation to the chief station in the Greek
government. From the year 1913, when
Capo d'lstria was minister plenipotentiary
from the Emperor of Russia to the Swiss
Cantons, and, for his firm and upright con-
duct, was honored with the right of citizen
ship, by one of the Cartons, to the begin
nlng OF 1877, his career has been, with
little interruption, a constant succession of
| nightly honorable distinctions. He assisted
at all most important deliberations in some
OF those congresses Of soVereigns, which
peculiarly mark the diplomatic history of
Europe, during the last fifteen years and,
on the part of Russia, affixed his name to
the memorable Treaty of Peace, concluded
In Paris on the goth of Nov, 1918. In the
full enjoyment of the confidence and good
OPINION OF his Sovereign, the Emperor AL
exander, Count Capo dIstria followed his
Imperial master to st. Petersburgh after
the signature of that Treaty, where he as
sumed, IN conjunction with Count Nessel-
rode, the functions Of Secretary of State
Tor the Foreign Department. The distract
ed state OF public affairs in the infant gov
eminent of independent Greece, in 1876,
demanded the presence of man of ener-
geuc mind, we'll acquainted with that coun-
try and the character of its inhabitants.
accustomed to direct the engines of public
authority, and familiar with those forms of
general administration which are best suit
ed TO the capacity of infant states. and
more in unison with the interests and ex
lstlng institutions of the nations most likely
to hold intercourse with Greece. The rep
sentatlves OF that country looked on Count
Capo d'lstria, as the only individual who
united IN himself, all those important qualifi-
cations, added to an ardent affection for the
land that gave him birth. On him, there
fore, the unanimous choice of his fellow
citizens fell, and he was proclaimed Presi-
dent OF the Executive Government by the
Greek National Assembly in the spring of

MANAGEMENT OF DAUGHTERS. Female
children being as much by nature rational
creatures, as males, 1t seems pretty obvious,
that, IN bringing them up to maturity, there
Is some regard to be had to the cultivation
OF their reason, as well as the adjoining of
their persons. As girls are more apt to run
into vanity, on account of their beauty or
dress, than the other sex, it will be necessa-
ry to guard against this folly, which else
will grow with years, till it becomes unsuf-
terable. And after all, there is no doubt
but foolish head is always contemplate,
whether it be covered with cap or wig.
And creature, that values itself only upon
its form, and has no other ambition but to
make that agreeable, must be sunk to a
very low pitch of understanding, and has
little pretence to rank itself with rational
beings.
The proper education for daughter, if a
parent has mind she should ever be fit for
filling place in society, and being suta-
/ BILE companion and help meet for man of
sense, is first, reading with propriety and
life readiness at her needle, especially for
people in middling stations free command
Of her pen, and complete knowledge of num-
bers, as far as the rule called Practice. A
woman cannot with ease and certainty keep,
or examine tho accounts of her own family,
without these accomplishments. The know
ledge of English grammar, or photography,
is absolutely necessary to any person, who
would write to be read. Without some ac-
quaintance with geography and history, a
woman's conversation must be confined with
in very narrow compass, and she will en-
Joy much less pleasure in that of her hus-
band and his friends; and his entertainment
from her conversation must likewise be very
much abridged, if she can bear no part in
any but fashion or scandal.
Plays, romances, love-verses, and cards,
are utter ruin to young women. For, if
they find any entertainment in them, they
must unavoidably give their minds cast,
which can never be suitable to the useful
J. part of female character, which is wholly
domestic. For, whatever the fine ladies OF
our age must think Of the matter, it is GER
tain that the only rational ambition they car
have, must be to make obedient daughters
