verdant traveller, that the oil used tor the Kings
of France came from Heaven. A pigeon brought
a flask from God in bis bsak This tremendous
conjunction Of ornitholOgy and pOmatum is repre-
sented by pictures in the church On the break
ing out of the Revolution, the artistic records OF
the event were destroyed as well as the holy oil
flask. But faith can work miracles SO Whenthe
Bourbons again into power, the holy bottle
was restored, although it had been smashed to
pieces Physicians who should never COunte-
nance cruelty turn army surgeons, and were not
men found who for q consideration mend limbs
broken in cold blood, would cease; so, too,
were artists great they would not paint lies and
shames for their daily bread But such being the
case, a splendid new picture represents the first
King of France about to be crowned by the Bish-
op, when pigeon with flask mot labeled in its
bill, bursts through the clouds, and brings down
the genuine article to greaaes the forehead-an I'M

that babe OF grace William the Conqueror, came
from France, it may be presumed that he took
some OF that oil to England; and it would be
curious speculation to ascertain if there not
little more of the same kind left to grease the ma
jestc front Of Her Sacred Majesty" that being

Council and duly accepted by the great men who
are going to honor American mechanics at the
Industrial Convention. Oh, my countrymen! let

Liberty need in the sword; but don't degrade
yourselves to the level OF European tootmen, and
take the lcavings Of Lords a reward for your
honored industry. Stand on your own soil, base

Austria and Prussia are not agreed-neither re-
garding the Duchies nor the Hesse affair. In re-
gard to the Diet the position Of Prussia appears
to be this In point Of law, she does not recognize
the legal, existence of that Assembly as the rep
political point OF view, she distinguishes first be-
tween what the Diet has the right to decide, by
maintaining itself in it's sphere that is to say, as
private meeting OF representatives OF free States,
and what is not within its power She admits
nothing OF the latter point, whether the rcsolu
tions Of the Diet may or may not be prcjudclal to
her. In respect to what she admits to be within
the domain Of the Assembly, Prussia further dis
tingushes between what is indifferent and what
may be injurious to her In the latter case, she
declares that she is inclined to oppose the rcsolu-
tons of the Diet. In tho category of what may
be injurious to her, she places an Intervention in
Hesse, and therefore she declares that she viii
formally oppose any Intervention.
In the Reuue deS deur M0ndeS NJ. Montalivet,
Intendant of the Ex-kings civil list, publishes
defense OF his patronage seeking to eXonerate
him against avarice. 1t seems that Louis Phil

lures for palaces forests, &c. were l34 million
francs forty eight of which, says the writer, should
be refunded to him. OF the praises bestowed on
Louis Philippe for rubbing up the historical pal

expenditures on Versailles, dedicatng it to all
the glores Of France" it is a question with the
judicious whether subjects exclusively military,
certainly none industrial, for hundreds of paint

ing the principal, were gores and whether the
money could not have been properly laid out in

Philippcs idea of greatness was one man repre-
scented killing another others not so strong or
adroit as himself sometimes killing women. That
was the extent of his intellect. If glory could
