heart, he called on the heads of the noble
houses OF Balhi, and SpinoIa, to see his ct.
fort. His fame had preceded him, and he
was the only person ignorant OF the fact.
His invitation was accepted, and for the
first time. the short lived youth drank in
with all the pleasure of ardent Joy the
praise he had TREMENDOUSLY hoped to merit.
The noble persons admitted TO see tbs
treasure of Art, felt oppressed by the prom
Use they had given OF secrecy, and asked
OF the artist permission to proclaim his
merit TO the world; this was refused-Pe-
rucci stating it to be his intention to keep
it by him in secret, until he had it in his
power 10 raise shrine to receive it, when
he would dedicate it to his country. The
Marquis Balbi had just had highly sculp-
tured shrine made by the first sculptor of
Rome, which he proposed to erect in his
own territory, and instantly resolved to
dedicate to the work of the young aspirant
for fame, and the present site was chosen
as being the most public and honorable
for such a gem. The erection of the
shrine having taken place with dispatch
and secrecy, an early day was announced
at which an altar, worthy the magnificent
city Of palaces, would be publicly conse-
Grated and opened to general view. The
Piazza San Georgia, and all the places
from which even a glimpse OF the picture
could be seen, were crowded. Perucci
having the woman he loved upon his arm,
stood within the area made for the cere-
mony of conservation; the picture was for
the first time uncovered 10 the public
gaze-a miracle, miracle, was called a.
loud by those around; all cried "'tis the
work of an angel, not man." the father
Of her Perucci loved, caught the infection
Of the crowd, and pressed him to his bo-
SOM, the fond girl devouring his hand with
kisses, when dagger from hi rival pierre
ed his heart, and he fell lifeIess corps
into the arms for the first time extended
TO him in affection. The guards immc-
diately seized the assassin, but 80 quickly
as enthusiasm had been lighted INTO
flame. 50 quickly was revenge conceived;
the tumult was general, the common PEG.
pie braved all control, and rushing upon
the assassin, literally tore him to pieces.
The city of Genoa voted public funeral
and splendid monument to the unhappy
Perucci which in few short months CO.
vered the remains of him and her he held
most dear. Amongst the crimes of the
French revolutionary army, was that of
desecrating his tomb-they pulled the
monument to the ground, and broke it into
pieces; many persons who loved the men,
DRY of the artist have preserved small pie
ces of the sculpture, and show these as
precious relcts-of worth and of barba.

HUNTING LIONS,

"When the hunter has found the place
where the lion usually takes his MONDAY
repose, tree not far from the spot is So
lected. TO this tree the hunter repairs
early in the morning, when he knows the
lion is out in quest of prey. He climbs
up into the tree, armed only with bag
full of stones, and six or eight short sharp
lances, and patiently awaits the return Of
his intended victim. Between ten and
eleven, as the heat of the day begins, the
lion returns, and should he even see the
man. takes little notice of him, but lies
down to sleep away the time till the return
of evening. The hunter also remains
quie', and waits generally till about an
hour after noon, by which lime the sand
has grown SO scorching hot, that even the
lion cannot set his foot upon it without
enduring considerable pain. Now the
hunter begins by fingng a stone or two
at the most sensitive parts OF the animals
head. The latter growls with pam and
rage, for it is rarely that a stone misses
its intended mark; still he is unwilling to
leave his shady couch, and lies roaring
and lashlnS his tail, TIL perhaps missile
hits him in the eye, and inncts a torture
beyond what he has patience to endure
He now springs up, and rushes towards the
tree whence his tormens proceed, but he
has scarcely reached the trunk, when he
finds himself transfixed by well-dIrected
lance, and bowling with pain, more from
his scorched feet than his bleeding side, he
couches again in his former resting place.
The hunter allows him but little repose.
Again stone after stone strikes his head,
again he rushes madiy at the tree, and
again sharp lance is fixed into his side.
Should the lion renew the attack, a third
and fourth lance salute him, but by this
time he is growing exhausted with the loss
of blood, crawls away 10 some distance,
where the hunters eye watches him till

PERUCCI.

The streets of Genoa have shrines de-
dictated to the Virgin at every corner and
crucifxes at intervals. These open.air
affairs are many of them works of the
highest merit, containing pictures by ar
lists of celebrity enclosed in ornamental
sculpture. The little ledge before the
picture is generally decorated with flow
ers placed in small cups, and pieces of
money hung 10 the sculpture by blue RI
bands. The custom is TO pull off the hat
in passing these shrines, and it is very
common TO observe people kneeing be-
fore them in the most intense devotlon.-
There is one of these votive pictures
painted by young artist in the beginning
of the last century, which is placed in an
elegant strada di Orofcii, (street of the
Goldsmi,h,) in Genoa, which is equal in
tone and coloring TO Guido Rene, and in
design and execution 10 Raphael. The
poor youth who dedicated this his first per-
feet work to his native city, was named
Perucci, and the circumstances attending
his early melancholy career, are very
interesting. Perucci had long loved a
handsome young woman of Genoa, who
had the misfortune to be wooed by a
wealthy sutton, more acceptable TO her
parents than the struggling artist. Peruc-
CT had formed certain crleria OF perfec-
ton in the art, 10 which heretofore the
most intense application had not enabled
him to attain. Some of his discarded pic
lures, although Immediately destroyed
when a superior effort was attained, had
been seen and appreciated by those capa
be ofjudging of his merit, and the poor
student had, unknown TO himself, acquired
fame the more extraordinary, as it de
pended upon hearsay alone. Perucci a
last, in fit Of inspiration, painted Ma
donna and child, which he feared not t.
dedicate to his country as his first eff1r
worthy Of his toll, and with palpitatin!

A PROPOSITION.
We call the attention of
the Democrats of this and
the adjoining counties to
this proposition.

We propose publishing the Indepen.
dent Democrat for the low price of one
dollar from the LIST of May until the 10Th
of November, being sufficient time to
give a full statement of the vote upon the
Presidential Election. We hope that our
present subscribers will make this fact
known TO those of their friends who wish
to take paper during the present can
vass. The present session of congress is
one of much interest. The settlement of
the tariff question, and the important ne
gotiations which will be shortly entered
into concerning Oregon and Texas, are
matters about which the public will wish
the earliest and most correct information.
The result of the present canvass for The
Presidency, will fix the policy of the gov
eminent for a long period TO come, it will
determine whether the country is to con-
tnue TO suffer under the blighting opera
ton of a protective tariff and a corruptlng
paper system, or enjoy the benefits of free
trade and sound currency. In view Of these
things, we hope our Democratic friends in
this and the adjoining counties will assist
MS in extending our circulation
