KossUTH's EsGLIsH.-The thorough knowl-
edge of the English language displayed by Kos
suth, since his arrival in England, is said to
have been acquired thus: Having been con-
signed to imprisonment for three years, for dis
obeying the edicts Of the.Austrian government,
he applied, at the end Of one year, for the use
of books. He was offered the choice of one
provided it was not of political character
He asked for three; the request was granted,
and he selected the English Grammar, Walkers
Pronouncing Dictionary, and Shakespeare. BY
attentive study of these three volumes, he mas
tered the English language before the term Of
his imprisonment expired.--Pa. Statesman.
Come, now-ths is pretty good He knows
nothing of the language, but learns the mean
ing of English words by means Of English def
nitions Then he learns the grammar Of the
language in the language itself, which he could
not understand without previous knowledge Of
the grammar. Then, having mastered these
two books so miraculousy, he by their aid
studies Shakespeare, Of all English books the
most idiomatic and difficult. Kossuth is great
man, but did not perform oil this, we are very
sure.

MExIco.-The miserable and crippled condi-
ton of the Mexican Republic is very forcibly
depicted in the language which the Trait d. uni
on, published at the Capital, holds respecting
the power of the Government to resist the revo-
lutionary movements on the Rio Grande. 1t
asks emphatically how Mexico-Mexco, whose
finances are 80 low that her Minister of Finance
cannot be found, who threatens in the Tehuan-
tepec matter to force the United States to make
war upon her, menaced everywhere with ruin
and vexed with confusion-how can this Mexico
arrest the revolt?
News had reached the city Of Mexico from
Yucatan, as late as September 18th, which re-
ported military revolt of the soldiers at Tho
suca. 1t had been suppressed, and six soldiers
shot.
The grant OF the privilege of naturalization
to Spanish citizens, flying to Mexico in conse-
quencc of the Cuban riots at New Orleans, had
been urged.

occasionally swept by the father of the Prophet,

and spending much of their time in nocturna
money digging. The men whose testimony an
