noble liberal and philanthropic principles of William
VI Seward particularly admired mis- far seeing and
statesman like qualities in what understood to be his
proposition TO have teachers provided at the public ex

which teachers shoudbe able to speak the language OF
the children and who hold TO the same religious faith
as their parents.
Seeing no way to ~ the young foreigners educated
except by per- a. who could teach them English
through the medium of their own Language, and know
ing that the religious preudices OF many emgran pa
rents would prevent them from sending their children
all to schools taught by Protestants and believing
that an Educated People the only safe basis OF repuo

BATTLE FOR WlFE.-Most people who have
been to Corfu have heard Of or seen woman
who, for some years past, has been styled Ia
bella Vilana, the beautiful peasant" She
keeps wine shop about i've miles from tho
town, near the shore of the old Venetian har-
Dor. She is widow, not much more than thirty
years Of age, although she has already buried
three husbands. However, there were 20 many
candidates to fill the Office Of the fourth, that
continued quarrela have taken place. About
month since, gun, charged with slugs, was
fired through the key-hoe of her door, and
wounded one of her suitors. The police, in
order to discover who was likely to be actuated
by jealousy, got a list of her admirers from the
fair widow, which then amounted to fifteen. all
Of whom had proposed marriage, besides other
three hangers on. 1t appears that the number
| must have increased, for last week q party Of
| twenty FIVE armed men attacked her house in
the night, wounded severely some Of the people
who were within, including the fair lady, who
was stabbed in the neck, after having suffered
more brutal outrage from three Of the gang.
Five suspected persons were apprehended nexl
Eday, and the woman was sufficiently recovered

This measure. which has occupied large
share of attention the House of Represen-
tatives during the session, was carried through
its third reading. and passed. on Wednesday
by very large majority ayes l0I. noes Sc
A perusal Of it leaves an impression that
there is rather material discrepancy between
the first aud sixth sections The FIRST pro-
,ides that any person who is the head Of a
family aud citizen Of the United States, or
who bad become citizen prior january
last. shall be entitled. FREQ Of cost. 10 one hun
bred and sixty acres Of Government land on
conditions Of occupancy for Eve years The
sixth section enacts, however, that any indi-
vidual now resident in this country aud who.
before seeking benefit from this bill shall de-
clare his inteniion to become citizen, shall
be alsa entitled to a free grant on the condi-
ton specified This provision clearly nullifes
the restriction imposed BY the first clause
Two other features Of the bill arc these !;
that it excludes from its benefits parties al
ready in the possession Of land. or who may
sell land with an intention to obtain free
grant; and that the land acquired under its
regulations shl II not be held liable for debts
contracted prior to the issuance Of the pat
ent.
