slbe event which produced much sensation the pub
nc mind at ST. Louis few weeks ago. and much grief
IN several families, have excited equal sensation
and grief in France. The National Inteligencer says:
"Ihe last steamer brings from Mr.. Rives, Min

many letters and official documents himself and others
TO Senator Benton. Senator Cass and the Hon. Mr.. VIM

THESE letters make known the tina, the father

and that their elder brother insane Paris; and
raise the irresistible inference that inherited insanity
must have broken in the two brothers at ST. Louis
All the letters speak of them the terms being
remarkable for the amiaby Of their characters and their
"md and inoffsnsive manners" that they came to the
United States for information and aud especial
y to see the Western country, and with ample and
credit. They descend from family in France not

Bile family OF that name. Many Americans in Paris,
among them Mr.. VIM. H. AspinwaII Of New York, also
write. and with all the deep feeling which the view Of the

so naturally inspires These letters and official

Truth STRANGER THAN FIcTIoN.-We
live In extraordinary times; and have occa-
sion 10 say, oftener than ever before, that
truth is stranger than fiction. l will give
you two recent incidents that would answer
all the purposes of novelist, and are yet lit
teraly true. Two or three days since a par
w of Spanish soldiers at Rome, being smitten
with the beauty of Roman wife, and find
ing all their arts of seduction fail, determined
to carry her off. They secretly entered her
dwelling at night, cut off her means of re-
treat, and was about to forcibly abduct the
victim, when her husband, to whom she was
tenderly attached, to save her honor, plunged
dagger into her heart-thus re-enacting
the tragedy of Virginiusl You well remem-
Der Mrs. -, the Italian wife of Mr.. = our
countryman. He came home two months
ago and a few months since, having made
the necessary arrangements, sent for his wife
whom he had left with her parents in Rome.
Soon after he received news of her death,
which was published far and wide in the
newspapers of the United States, and elected
more than one touching obituary notice.
Would you believe it, the lady is alive, and
married, too! A Catholic priest declared
her former marriage null and void from its
having been contracted with a Protestant.
1t occurred fifteen years ago, and the illegal
ity is just discovered Her present husband
is Of her own church and country. | have
another bit of domestic news that will sup
prise you still more. Miss Margaret Fuller,
the bright particular star of The Tribune, is
married, and has been for nearly two years,
to Roman count. She is the happy moth
er of a thriving boy. Doubtless her attain
ments which, in Italy, where female educa-
ton is SO much neglected, would naturally
excite interest, and her intelligent sympathy
with the people and their country-have
won the affection of some saUan or patriot;
at least, this is our conjecture.-Geneua COR
