The Paris journals OF yesterday contain accounts
from Italy, according to which the Piedmontese
division marching into Tuscany, with the con cur
renee of the government Of that country, was ex-

march Of the PiedInontess was not solely for the
purpose Of defending the Tertiary of Tuscany

One OF the Paris journals states that the French
government had received positive information Of
new and important successes having been obtained
by the Austrians in Hungary. Our Paris cores
pondent states that several letters have been re-

the Interior to the Projects of the departments, de-
sirlng them to put down vigorously and lmme-

private letter that the President of the Republic
has insisted upon the dismissal OF any public func-

The MontteW also publishes an official note, de.

Republic having interfered IN the selection of the
members of the electoral committee of the Rue de

taken any part in matters connected with the ap-

The Cousin of Arnold.

aThe evil that men do live after them" Shak-
spear was right. A striking verifcation of the
fact may be drawn from a circumstance, which
VIC find stated in lions Herald. In Norwich,
Conn, died, the 26th June, 1916, aged 80, Miss
Hannah Arnold, a cousin of the notorious Be-
nedict Arnold, the traitor. Though aged, sick
and emaciated, she is said to have retained traces
of great personal beauty. She evinced great
resoluteness of purpose and activity of mind;
but she was morose, jealous and %revengeful,
and this trait in her character was undoubtedly
attributable to the suspicious, which she and
her maiden sister entertained Of nearly every
body in consequence Of their near connection
with the traitor. This is evident from a single
circumstance. Aperson once called upon them,
and after some general conversation, remarked,
aAre you not related to Benedict Arnold, are
you notss' '"Wel, what are you going to do
about ii!" one Of them replied. Thus ended
the coloquy.
Here we have an instance of a bad man, not
only booming himself to everlasting shame,
but operating through his reputation, like a
lasting blight upon the peace Of mind and social
happiness Of innocent parties related to him.
Nav, the contagion of evil extends even fur
Their. It reaches their verysouls and aids in
moulding the characters, which they are shaping
for themselves in this world. In this view,
what a weight Of added responsibility attaches
to the commission Of evil.

The Brag Game.

It was some time after the Mexican war that
several officers had met together after a long
separation, when to pass away the evening il
was proposed to play a game Of brag. Among
the party were Col. s., celebrated for his eccen-
t~ricities, and the gallant Major G., who was
wounded in the arm at Monterey. Col. s. had
been watching the Major, who played very mo-
destly and with a timid air so different from the
"%blufing game" that the Colonel thought it
easy at any time to run him of. The game had
progressed for some time, when the spot' hay-
ing been doubled and a ten dollar "buck" start
ed, the brag had passedto the Colonel.
"Well.', said the Colonel, looking as if he
held athree white aces" q Drag twenty"
"Ill see your twenty" said the Major, in his
easy way, @aand go you ten better"
t"Well, sir, I'll make it good" said the Colo
mel, aand go you fifty BETTER" feeling sure that
the Major would ssslope."'
The Major had long suspected the Colonel
of playing a @brash" game, and determining to
test him, he said with a good humored smile,
Il call you, Colonel; what have you got!" ,get

The Great Sugar Discovery.

The f~ollowingsfrom the Havana correspon.
dent of the Delta, throws some additional light
upon this important discovery, which we have
previously noticed:
Public attention is being occupied a good
deal with a matter that is to have an Immense
effect upon the industry and product of this
island, as we'll as the sugar region of Louisiana.
l allude to the recent discovery of Mr.. Melsens,
for extracting more perfectly the saccharine
from the cane. From a recent report from a
committee of investigation at Paris, the merits
OF the improvement are fully confirmed, and in
the last season, either by an agent, or in person
MIR. Melsens conducted several experiments
upon an estate on this island, both with the
syrup and molasses, verifying in full specifca-
ton, and the immediate results are the reduce
ton of one-fifth of the expense, while the ae-
tuai product is increased from thirty-three to
fifty per cent.
There are various opinions as to the secret
chemical employed by the discoverer. Some
have, with much reason, intimated that it is
acetate of lead-which may be the case-but
the quantity would be important to know. NV
own opinion is that lime is combined with the
new salt, and that if it is acetate of lead, the re-
dundant base could be easily removed from the
residuum, so that nothing deleterious would
remain to prevent the accustomed use of the
molasses. This improvement has passed the
point Of doubt, and it behooves all sugar plan
tiers to give it attention with the coming crop. 1t
goes to simplify the process from the ground to
the pans, and all the tedium of purging with all
the heavy attendant labor. Its effect upon the
market will be almost to throw out molasses,
for which syrup will become the substitute, and
to materially increase the sugar: and probably
take away the work of refining, as it can. be ex-
tracted at once in its purest state and form of
crystal, according to the quality of juice which
is put in the boilers. Sugar making here and
in Louisiana differs chiefly in the manner of
purging and cleaning or refining; and to both
systems this brings immense relief oflabor, with
improved quantity and quality.

o. Slavery of white men still exists in all its
force in Russia. The Count Kutaison owing
to the Government the sum of (f52,0O0 ster-
ling,) which he has not been able to pay, the
Directing Senate has authorized the Minister
of Finance, to be caused to be seized all the
peasants that NJ. Kutaison possesses in the two
districts of Tambo. This measure has been
put in execution, and the civil Government has
posted up plaeards announcing that the pesants
in question, which are to the number of 1902
men, women and children, will be sold publicly
to the highest bidder, in the town of Taraboy,
on Monday, the Goth of October next, and fol-
lowing days.

JOHN BULL IN TRouBLE.-The London Com
mercial Gazette is in trouble about California,
the possession Of which, it thinks, may force
upon the United States the final conquest of
the rest of Mexico, SO as to connect the territory
with the States. The possession of the Bay
of San Francisco, with its numerous harbors,
cannot fail to give the United States the com
plete ~controle Of the Pacific ocean and all its
coasts and islands. This, it says, Great Bri-
tain ought never to have allowed. She would
NOT, probably, if she could have helped it.

Uncle Benjamin's Sermon,

discussing this matter to his son, who was com

"Rely upon ii, Sammy" said the old man, az
he leaned on his staff, with his gray locks flow

times these fifty years, and never saw a mai

much as to say, Here is something which you
have got to learn Sammy; don't forget that
your schooling is not over yet, thoughyou have

"Aye,' cried Sammy, "you may say that, and
a mother-in-law, and two apprentices into the
bargain, and | should like to know what a poor
man can learn here, when the great scholars and
lawyers are at loggerheads, and can't for their
lives tell what has become ofthe hard money"
"SoftIy, Sammy, | am older than you; / have

LITERARY PERTn1TY.-In Weber's North
ern Antiquities, we find the following instance
of literary application, which, taking all circum-
stances into consideration, is, perhaps, without
parallel. Hans Sacs was born in Nurembe re-,
in the year 1894; he was taught the trade of a
shoemaker, and acquired a bare rudimental edu-
cation, reading and writing; but being instructed
by the master singers of these days in the
praiseworthy art of poetry, he at IL began to
practise, and continued to make verses and
shoes, and plays and pumps, boots and books,
until the 18th year of his age. At this time
he took an inventory of his poetical stock in
trade, and found, according to his own farra-
tive, that his works filled 80 folio volumes! all
written with his own hand, consisted of 420O
mastership songs, 2OS comedies, tragedies, and
(some of which extended to seven acts,
100 fables, tales, and miscellaneous poems,
and 70 devotional, military and love songs; max
ing a total of 604S pieces, great and small; out
Of these, we are informed, he culled as many
filled three MASSEY folios, which were publish
ed in the years 1558-6l, and another edition be-
ng called for, he increased this to six volumes
folio, by an abridgement from his other works.
